Always format any SD card in the device in which it will be used. This will always work and ensures that the SD card has the correct format for the device.

Works best for me when I have troubles with my SD card.
I always format from the pc in fat 32, the only problem is that you won't be able to write files bigger than 4GB into the sd

I cant speak for any other ROM as i haven't used any other than AOKP but it works fine for me with my 16GB class 10. I would venture to say it also works on most of the ROM's out there...personally speaking, and i think im probably in the majority here, no external SD would be a deal breaker.
EDIT: According to some (very) quick research its possible it may simply be that your SD card is in a format not readable by CM. Try formatting the SD to FAT32 and see if it works.
Oah thanks.. I will try doing it Nd will surely let you guys know

Move what to the sd exaclty? Also what size card do you have, i've seen somewhere there are detection issues with the larger capacity cards.

So, the external is working now? And you are trying to move something to it? Sorry but you are not elaborating much on what is going on.
Yeah... I wanna moved and save the apps in external sd card.... No, the sd card is not working. How do you save your apps in your sd card when you download something from app store Or like if you want moved it to sd card which is already in internal memory

Well there are several option to move apps to sd. Of course this isn't going to work until you figure out why your sd card isn't being recognized. There is a possibility there could be a problem with your external slot...have you tried any other sd cards?
Are you able to able to save your apps on external sd card...

Now that you mention it i can't..although i really wouldn't want to. Every time i've done it in the past it has causes problems. I'm not sure if this is isolated to AOSP based roms or if it's got to do with the way the external sd is accessed.
i just installed cm10 on my galaxy r and was wondering with the same doubt.
while opening randomly the folders in the root, i found that /emmc is the location of external sd card.. :victory:
My SD card is 2GB. I have one big partition (about 1.7GB) and another ext4 partition for INT2EXT scripts...
So, how can I make to have 2 partitions: one about 1.5GB and the other one 0.5GB?
I have to shrink bigger partition and extend the smaller one somehow...
And I don't have card reader.
With minitool partition you can resize partitions while saving their data (if all goes right-so do a backup anyway)

Ok, but I heard that I need card reader or it'll brick the SD card... Is that true?

It will create another partition, so I'll have 3 partitions. That's not what i want.

You can use a USB card reader or a MicroSD reader; for sure you can't use your phone as bridge for mounting sd card.

Can I pre-format the external SD card for EXT2/3/4 filesystem and use it in stock Note 2?
To format I can use a card reader and Linux desktop computer say...
Also what would happen with accessing such a card from PC (Windows, Linux?)
I think you can format sd card with phone itself if that's what you are asking.

Seems like the phone formats it with exFAT or FAT32 only depending on the ROM.
And the formatting is not a problem, I can always format from Linux.
The Q is how would the phone react? And what about accessing the SD from PC?
Well testing it yourself wouldn't hurt.

Hey guys I recently purchased a 32gb SD card off eBay. Before I used it I formatted it to fat32 but it seems when ever I download a rom straight to the SD card from my phone it always get corrupts and stops me from doing anything in my recovery. I always get can't install <××××××> sdcard (bad) Aborted..etc. leading me to drag and drop everything to PC reformatting it. Anybody know I can avoid corruption. Thankyoi

To format the microSD card on your mobile device, from the Home screen, touch Menu key > Settings > General Settings > Storage Storage Icon .
Your microSD card information is shown on this screen, along with your device memory. Touch Format SD card. Review the message about data, and touch Format SD card again. Touch Delete all to complete the formatting process.
Warning! Formatting your microSD card will remove all personal information from the card. This information cannot be recovered.
I hope it will helps you. Good Luck
Is it okay if I will use a pc when formatting a sd card?
Usually SDcard come preformatted. If is a large SDcard and you are storing extremely large files like videos you may want to use the exFat rather than Fat32.
You can get free software like SD formatter to format your SDcard card on your PC.
