Backup your ext2 and the files in the first partition and format your sd card the way you want

try minitool partition wizard,with this you can make the ext2 partition bigger without formating.

Cwm 5.8.4.5 issue exfat

Just noticed it will not use the external 64 gb SD card formatted as exfat. Are there any newer versions that will work with it,and still be able to restore older backups. Thanks.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

well considering CWM 5.8... what ever is old... i would suggest trying the newest CWM. 6.0.1.2
Download Rom Manager from the market to install the newest CWM.
or move your backups off your external sd to your internal sd and restore them from there...
note: cwm 5.8.... if i remember correctly had the external and internal backwards, and cwm 6.0.1.2 has them correct..
for further information, cwm has their own website... clockworkmod.com

Didn't really answer my question.. intrrnal and external are not backwards in my version. And from what I've read 6.x still does not support xfat. And also if I upgrade I will not be able to restore my backups.

Connect your card to your computer directly and format it to fat32.

I read a while ago that becuase it would require a license from Micrsoft, CWM will never support exFat. I strongly suggest that you don't format your 64Gb card to FAT32. The performance of that card will degrade greatly. You should just get an 8Gb card to use with CWM.

I don't understand how that is possible, when exfat is significantly slower that fat32 by design...

I tried this exact mod a couple weeks ago & could not get it to work. It made my internal show up as both internal & external, and disable my SD card completely. I dunno what I did wrong, I followed the instructions exactly & I have a TW rom too.

Download and Flash perseus kernel, then flash mod again. It should work after that. It does not work on note2core or saber kernels. I only tested on those three.. And make sure you download the correct mod zip as there are different variants depending on the kernel you have and if your sd card is exformat or fat32. I also recommend a format of the sd card before doing all these to start fresh.
Best way is to do a full wipe, flash rom, flash radio, flash perseus kernel and lastly the mod all before the first boot.

I noticed one of the biggest problems with storage is that apps that do save stuff to SD card were still saving to internal storage. For example Titanium Backup was set to save to storage card but was saving to an internal storage folder called "External Storage". That app has specific setting to move the backups which saved me over a GB of space. I'll try ExtSd2InternalSd next time I upgrade ROMs.

Just remember that your "internal" storage actually becomes your sdcard and your sd-external is your internal built in memory... so is reverse.
For example when you use your camera for the first time it will ask to storage on your external..but remember that your external is no longer that but rather your internal, so if you want pics saved on your new "internal" choose no. save to phone.

you can flash it after too...just make sure to wipe cache and dalvik. For the camera force closing just clear data and cache under applications.

Got my 64 gig class 10 sd card Monday, and clean flashed Jedi Master 7 with Perseus kernel then this mod and it works great! I have every app, game, emulator, GPS program installed and still have 40 gigs left. Phone runs awesome too. No more storage worries or making room for new apps. I'd recommend clean flashing, it seems like most people who have issues are not starting out fresh.

I already flashed the Jedi 8X and the perseus kernel and I have a few questions:
1. Is it too late to flash the ExtSd2InternalSd mod now?
2. Do I have to do all the steps you mentioned again?
3. I have the SD card formated to extFAT and have a few GB of mp3 files in it. Would those file be wiped after the mod?
4. What would happen if I flash a new ROM in the future? Would I lose all the data in the "internal memory" i.e. the physical MicroSD card?
Thanks

I already had the perseus kernel when I tried this. I guess I'll try it again though. I really wanna get this working. Thanks.

I could be wrong but I think the mid has to be installed after clean flash and before the initial reboot after the Rom has been flashed. I flashed Rom, kernel then the mod then reboot. No issues with this method.

[Q] CM10.1 ext SD card filesystem to use

Aloha,
I am newbie here and flashed my Note 2 LTE with CM 10.1 nightly, after which my SD card is not recognized, i suppose this is because exfat filesystem is not appreciated by CM. As i have 64 gigs SD card, i do not want to flash fat 32, Question: which File System would you recommend

I also have a 64G SD and run a variant of CM. I ended up using FAT32 which so far works quite ok.

But with fat32 we can use max 4 gigs, right?

4gb is the maximum size of a single file and not the total storage.
Sent from my GT-N7100

Newer cm10.1 builds should have ext4 support, which doesn't have the 4gb file size limit that fat32 has. I haven't personally tried it though, so I can't comment on how well it works.

That's because the AOSP kernel is not compatible with exFAT. Try without the sd card or reformat to FAT32.
