I just want to know how to create ext 2 partition on my 16gb card. I've read all kinds of ways for a bunch of other phones, but no real definitive methods for Fascinate? If anyone could help a whitey or shoot me a link to the answer I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance and rock on!!!

Using a Windows program called EASUS partition Manager (Home edition is free), you can format your SD card to FAT, FAT32, NTFS, EXT2, EXT3.
http://www.partition-tool.com/download.htm
But why do you want to format your SD card as EXT2? It doesn't really buy you anything and Windows (dunno about Macs) and most other devices can't natively read EXT2..

I've read so many different threads about EXT partition but none have the answer I'm looking for.
Are EXT partitions only available for custom roms?
Is it possible to make one on my Ace without installing a custom rom?
I installed Links2SD and It's not really doing much of anything and I still have the same full internal memory issue. I also looked up Rom manager on the market. Can I make a partition with it?
I've been deleting and installing apps all day long and I'm tired of not having enough space. I have an 8GB class 4 micro SD.
Can I get some help please? :/

1.) I am on a stock ROM coupled to a 8GB Class 4 card and i am making use of a ext4 partition. That makes my experience relevant to your interest
2.) Do you know what the ext4 is meant for?
3.) DO NOT USE THE ROM MANAGER. IT WILL BRICK YOUR S5830.
4.) To answer your question, go here http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php, download and burn the iso and boot into Gparted. Use GParted to make an ext 4 partition. BACKUP your entire SD card before doing so as partitioning wipes everything in the card.

Heard of some bad comments using minitools. recommended to use Gparted via its live cd.
I run it fine my friend. Never got errors.

Hey!
Same here. I done it with Minitool in several SD cards, maybe 3-5 times. NO PROBS!

u have a higher chance of damaging ur pc hard disk when using gparted livecd. just a single wrong click and all ur data will be gone, or even corrupt the hard disk itself. linux livecd is not something to mess around when u dont know what ur doing. minitool partition wizard is working just fine for me, never had any problem with it.

beg to differ. Gparted comes in a GUI and one has to be careful on selecting the right disk to work with. Other than that, i don't see how one can accidentally partition the HDD containing Windows.

thats my point, be careful. one wrong click and all ur data is gone.
as i said, linux livecd is not something to be mess around, moreover just to partition sdcard. once i manage to corrupt my laptop bios when booting a linux livecd

Downloaded it and I'm currently taking out everything of my SD card to try it out. Thanks! *clicks button*
I'll post whatever happens.
Okay, can you guys tell me the steps for this thing? I just opened it and I have no idea what to do or what format to make my SD card
EDIT: I made a 1GB partition but it doesn't have a format or anything. It just says (Unallocated). How can I fix this?
Hello Everyone!
I partitioned my SD card back when I had my Nexus One. Now, I'm interested in reversing that process. I just recently rooted, unlocked, and flashed my phone. Unfortunately, CWM doesn't offer an option to partition my SD card. How does one do that these days? I just want my SD card to be unpartitioned.
Thanks
Chump
You should be able to format the sd card form the phone itself, like going to menu, settings, storage, dismount sd card then format sd card, I think this removes partitions, also destroying all data in the card.

Backup sdcard contents to computer. On computer delete all partitions, then you will have one big unallocated space. Create a new partition using all available space. Copy backed up data back onto sdcard. Put back in phone.

Remember to format as primary, fat32 and then apply,

+1 as the standard windows partition tool does not delete the 2nd partition. You will lose everything on the 2nd partition as even with mini tool you can't access it, only delete it and format it.
Oh, exactly.. make sure to back up any important data.

To be honest, yeah. It's cool that he revived it. I am sitting here with a soft bricked Samsung Infuse and can't find a lick of information that is even slightly useful to me. I'm welcome to all new information and answers that could potentially help me. Why waste your time complaining that someone revived a thread? Got nothing better to do with your life, I see... Stop being a jerkoff to people who didn't do a single thing to you. Seriously...

Why are you trying to make an argument about a bricked device, unpartitioning an sd card (removable storage), and a thread that I haven't even looked at or read or anything since May (its now Nov)? and fyi, a quick search of your problem gave me this http://www.androidnectar.com/fix-bricked-samsung-infuse-how-to/ you're welcome. Please refrain from posting antagonizing posts like that as it deters from any use and can be reported to moderators.

Hi everyone,
Basically, I am wondering if partition the SD you can move ALL the application to the SD, is that right? In that case, which is the simplest (or advise) configuration? FAT32 and SWAP? FAT32 and EXT2?
If it's useful, I'm using android 2.3.5, Sense 3.5, and ROM ARHD 7.2
Thanks!
Try this app,link2sd,download it,and link your apps to the second partition,eother ext or fat32 depending on what your kernel support

I noticed that you posted a question in the general section. As you are still getting help with your issue this should be moved to the Q&A. However once you get your issue solved you can re-write your OP into a 'How to guide' . then just ask the mods (using the triangle report button) to move back to the general.
You could help others that have the same question
Thanks
~Jaramie
Ok, many thanks!!
However, noone has confirmed me about if partition the SD, is it right that you can move all the apps to the SD card, even those apps that you were not able to move before partition the SD card or using Titanium Backup?
And other other hand, what is the recommended partition? FAT and EXT2? FAT and SWAP?
Hello.
I've saw the reply for this question in other posts, but i got confused.
Well, i've a SanDisk 32GB SD card i'm using on my RAZR.
I would like to copy some files (videos) wich are over 4GB+ to the sdcard on my phone, so i can watch'em using the microhdmi output.
Well, it seems that android is recognizing only fat32 partitions, that have a size limitation.
If i try to format it to NTFS or EXT4 (using SafeStrap Partition command) i can't read it on the system.
Is there any piece of software i can use, or any trick to make the sdcard able to recive 4gb+ files ?
Thanks in advance [email protected]

Messing around with my new S4. For some reason I am already running out internal memory on the phone. Since I cant move any apps to the ext SD card yet..Im lost...never the less, I still bought a 64 gig class 10 card and put it in the phone. It won't read it. Just says Mount SD card. I try to do it and says the card is safe to remove.
How do I get this to work?

The problem is in format of SDcard. Actually, Faux Kernel won't read exFat format, which is mostly used to format 64Gb storages. There two ways to fix it:
1. Flash Ktoonez kernel (KT-kernel) that supports exFat (just like stock kernel).
2. Find the way to format your SDcard into Fat32 format. There is utility named Fat32Format can be found on the Internet. Or, if you are on Mac - just select Fat format.
