Before anyone flames me, ive looked everywhere for this information and cannot find what i need in a simple answer.
i formatted my sd card months ago and started to have issues just recently so i decided to reflash and tried out a different rom. Super E
i forgot what i partitioned my card into and would like to find out what the swap size was. is there a quick simple way of doing this. i do not have swap enabled at present and was thinking of doing this now but want to know what i set it as last time.

Partition Master is the name. Good luck.

you need a ext4 partition on your sd card and an app which enables you moving apps to sd like "link2sd", "s2e" or similar. And you need to root your phone.
Look a bit around in the ace section here on xda and youll find everything you need

addition : if you a user-type that like to remove your sdcard, better to use link2sd instead of any type extended-internal memory

Just switch off your phone before removing sd card.
I won't give up. I'll wait for you.

you must create ext3 or ext4 primary partition on your sdcard. to create partition, install mini tool partition wizard to your pc. then you can use link2sd to link dalvik caches to your sdcard. or, if you use cm7 as your rom, you can install s2e. to remove system apps, use link2sd

Are you linking the apk, dex and lib files or just installing (moving) apps to sd? You should create link to free up your internal space.
Take it from my experience. I used stocklite for almost 5 months with link2sd. Linked all apps except for those with widgets or that i needed at boot left on internal. 80 apps, 50 mb free on internal.
If you change to cyanogenmod you won't have more internal space, same space, different rom. When you do the required wipes with cwm (which you should to install cyano roms) it will format and erase the partition. You'll still have your partitioned sd card, but all info in that partition will be gone.

I installed Cyno Mod 7 ROM and it works just fine and i have partitioned again and everything is fine now..but i backuped my stocklite and i dont have the original ROM which i used even before rooting how to get that 'the real one which i had when i bought the phone?' if i have that one ..i can change it to anytime when i want..
Carrier specific roms are harder to find than free roms. Go to sammobile and check if they have the rom that came with your phone.
The stock roms are all installed through your computer with odin and your phone in download mode.

Did the ROM apocalypse had any updates because i still do have some bugs..
Hi all
Im not sure this question has been asked a lot or not. I already search same ques like me but none exactly same.
So here is the situation. I do have sd card 2GB in this old Salsa. It used to working fine because i did managed to create ext 2 on the sd card last time. But few days ago the sd card got error ( suddenly it cant open all apps in partition. force closed). So i decided to format and create ext again. Here the come issue. It just seem i cant manage to do it. I did all the drill using minitools, delete partition,create partition etc. Once applied the partition will become unallocated. Can anyone advice me on this?
Thanks!!
ps: i attach the print screen as well.

Firstly ext3 partition,
Secondly primary and not logical type
From what it looks you did everything right,
Anyways reduce your partition size to maybe 250MB or so.... It might be a reason

u may want to set partitions as active too
Hey guys,
Lately I've been doing some read about the benefits of partitioning a SD card. I decided to try but got stuck at the very beginning of the process. I've tried searching for a similar question in our forum but got no answer to my question.
Ok, so I backed up my (16gb class 4) SD Card. Then I decided to use GParted to format/partition my SD card, first I got an error saying I cannot create more than 1 partition without having to delete all partitions first. So I did, and created a GPT partition table, then first created a FAT32 partition, then a 1gb EXT4 partition. I rebooted but got the error saying my SD card was damaged and I must reformat. Then I tried doing this with MiniTool Partition Wizard. Same thing, I couldn't create more than 1 partition, then I reformatted and exact same thing happened. I'm thinking that probably the ROM I'm using does not support this feature. I have Link2SD installed already. I followed almost every partitioning guide here but of course each one is for a specific device and so on.
So here I am, hoping to get some help. I promise I learn quite fast and don't make same questions twice. I appreciate your time in advance.
Why do you want to partition your card? Just use titanium backup or something to move your apps.. Or is there any other benefit?
I've been reading different opinions about it. But I don't see a consensus. So I wanted to try for myself and decide. Would it make a difference if I use Link2sd instead of Titanium? I have Rom Toolbox Pro but I've read it doesn't move apps quite well.
Sent from my HTC Desire C
I used titanium to move my apps to sdcard. The only difference as far as i know is that you can't use your apps when the sdcard is mounted in the pc. Which is fine coz when I'm transferring some files, I don't really need to play games on my phone.
I didn't notice any performance difference either.
But take care of what apps you are transferring. Don't transfer anything important like launchers.
Ok. I moved them with Link2SD. So far the only problem I've had is that some apps take longer to launch, specially after rebooting.

So, my friend needs to repartition his Note N 7000 (INDIA VER). I had flashed the Resurrection Remix earlier on but he wants to be able to use his entire internal memory. I want to know the best way to go about re partitioning the internal memory. Can anyone guide me on this? I haven't done these stuff in a while since i got my 4th phone (Xperia C, same problem of internal memory) but I am still fairly informed with these stuff. So no worries if you have any complicated steps ... although simple is easier
On the xperia C, there was a command on terminal emulator and a zip flash. Simple. Anything similar?
P.s: Sorry for the long post! It just feels good and different to be back on Xda forums

The coincidence is too eerie. I just got an Xperia C3, rooted but mine has the full 8GB space allocated instead of the usual two internal memory partitions. Installed 1.3GB worth of apps and still have 1.42GB available :laugh:

Thank You for the quick reply! :good:
And the first thing i did with my brand new Xperia C was root it the day i bought it and re partition it lol. My brother and friends were flabbergasted.
And I never really understood the logic of having 2 partitions in internal memory...Weird. Glad it's no longer in practice.
Will report how it goes.
