I have been reading that partitioning your SD card before installing roms is good idea. I have a 32 gb card and was thinking of partitioning using ROM manager. What is the ideal space for partitioning and ideal swap space?
i have the same size card in my evo and i use a 1 gig swap partition ...and it seems to like it also ....u can try that or try it like this
1. fat32 remaning space on card
2. ext2/3-1 gig partition
3. linux-swap -100mb partiton
What about the partition size? Also will partitioning erase my SD card?

Here is a guide.
Plus I would not use CWM. Use Amon RA.
And yes this will wipe the card. Back up to your pc.
Thanks! I will back it up before I partition it.
SD card class 4

I'm about to buy an SD card to partition and install a new rom, does the EVO4G support microSDHC class 4 32Gb cards?
specifically this one: ADATA AUSDH32GCL4-RA1
"I'm about to buy an SD card to partition and install a new rom, does the EVO4G support microSDHC class 4 32Gb cards?

i have a 32 gig class 6 pny card and it works fine i used to have a class 4 and 6 sd 16 gig they just seemed slow but yes i don't see why that wouldn't work,
I've gotten nothing But negative reviews about San disk cards ..personally i wouldn't trust them so try to stay away from those lol and some SD cards pull too much current remember that.make sure u set ur sd card read speed to 4096
and that is a cheap card i am about to go buy up a few and check em out lol hope that helps

Well it depends of how hard do you use your phone, I have right now a 64Mb Swap partition but I'm not using it at all....

No, Samsung doesn't include it in the package. You must buy it extra.

For me the internal storage is more than enough, _without_ pictures. i tend to take a lot of snapshots. But hey, an mini sd card is pretty cheap so just buy one with 8gb oder 16gb and you should be fine for the rest of your life
No. Most phones these days don't come with an external SD card in the package
can anyone confirm yes or no that the G Pro can access a 128gb sd card.
According to LG's website, it only supports 64 GB

I cannot confirm the 128 GB though.

I think it will only automatically format up to 64GB microsd cards. I'm pretty sure it is possible to format a 128GB microsd manually but I don't know how exactly one would achieve this, as most of the time when I format my card manually it does not recognize it on the phone.
Interested in this phone for the specs, and the fact it has root...xposed etc...
Does this phone support and work with 128GB micro sd card.
Was looking at a 32/64gb model in Red.
Hello, this is ASUS_USA. Zenfone 2 model ZE551ML Micro SD Card slot supports up to 64GB
Yes, I am using the Lexar 128 633X in the 551ML 4/64
Here is a picture of the card and the phone.
You should be able to use any sdxc card as the 64gb card is sdxc... If a 512Gb sdxc micro sd card came out you would be able to use this...
And yes I have tested a sandisk 128Gb micro sd card in my xenfone 2...
I am using the Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML (4GB RAM, 32GB ROM) and can confirm that a Sandisk 128GB MicroSD card works fine . Mine is formatted with FAT32; i am not sure whether ExFat would be supported as well.

exFat is and OTG USB sticks work fine too... I have a 64Gb OTG card that was working brilliantly with it earlier, shame a friend wanted to borrow it cos I was gonna load it with stuff to do at work tonight...
Looks like Im going to have to pick up a 128gb sd card soon. Thanks for comfirming this since I was wondering the same thing for my Zenphone 2.
I'm running a Patriot 128GB microSDXC myself.
By the way, whats the best type of external microsdcard to use?
Do we need to be choosy in buying??

I always like a good ol' SanDisk
I'm just gonna add a little bit more here, You need a FAT32 formatted sd card for firmware updates if you are doing it manually and haven't rooted yet. The stock recovery won't recognise an exFAT formatted card (which is what most 128gb sd card are formatted) so when you put the update file on your card your card won't be recognised by the recovery.
Rooted with latest TWRP recognises card fine...
In anyone wants to know, I'm using a PNY 128GB card (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OP2P0ZO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00).
Stock everything. No issues with the ZF2 recognizing the card or accessing.

Seems like a lot are testifying that 128gb is working with their Zenfone 2. My question is will prolonged use of 128gb sd cards have any problem in the future?

Pretty sure you can't have any more info than what's currently available. The phone's only been available for a few months, that's as long as testing with 128GB exFAT or FAT32 will indicate stability for. Card size has no impact on a phone's microsd reader, just like sock size has no bearing on the size of a person's genitalia
FWIW I got a 128GB exFAT a week ago and haven't had any issues. If your phone has issues reading any card, it'll typically have trouble reading every card. Special exception is for devices that software/hardware don't support larger than 32gb, exFAT or Class UHS1 speed cards. Your Zenfone2 supports greater than 32gb, exFAT, and Class UHS1.

Our only choices for backups using ASUS backup are internal device or SD card. If we can only use up to 64GB, some backups might not work if they are larger than that (apps and data) or close to that in size.
With unlocked bootloader and root I have no problem accessing the exFAT 128gb sd card even while using TWRP recovery.
Not sure if the newer roms support exFAT or I have a magical Zenfone 2 but it did an OTA update with the OTA file on the sd card ... No renaming of the file was needed...
My model ZE551ML is not reading exFat 64GB card. Can it be formatted to FAT32 or should be replaced? My PC is only giving me exFAT file system when I try to format it!!!

Mine (I think) is formatted FAT32 and works fine. It's just you cannot have any individual files over 2GB in size.
EDIT: Never mind. I just checked via mount command and it is listed as "texfat". Guess I didn't reformat from when I bought the card.
exFat doesn't seem to be readable at all!! Can it be converted to FAT 32?? Thanks.
Hello guys when i try to set my sd card as internal storage it says that the sd card is too slow (its a sandisk class 10 90rw) . (Running Viperone currently) Some way to bypass the message or something ?
If you have a USB card reader, try formatting the card on your computer.

FAT32 would be best for the M8, especially if your card is 32gb or less. That is default for almost all of those sized SD cards as well.

If nobody you know has a card reader, it's worthy buying one to have around. They only cost around $7-8 US.
