I want to format my SD card from FAT32 to EXT4...
My questions:
1. Will it be readable from Windows?
2. The EXT4 partition can also be used as normal SD, or just for apps?
3. Is EXT4 faster than normal SD with FAT32?

Hello!
As I can partition the microsd with CWM Recovery, if I get in paragraph advance, to partition the sd.
I want to increase the memory for the app using the microsd.
I have the V6 version of CWM Recovery v1.25 with KernelPanic
Thank you!
For Swap Use 0mb nd For SD-EXT Use 512mb (I Guess This Is More Than Enough For A Normal User)
After That Install S2E or Link2SD App From Play Store!
Move Ur Apps To SD-EXT Using One Of This App!
COPY ALL OF UR SD CARD DATA BEFORE MAKING A PARTITION! OR YUH WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA ON UR SD CARD!

Thanks, but do not let me partition the CWM Recovery V6. There goes that option and earlier, if there was in the ADVANCE menu -> Partition SD.
Now those options do not work out. Since then I can make the partitions?

Hello
I have no sd-ext partition because I could not make it from the CWM Recovery version 6. Since I do not get the option to partition the sd.
What I know is because at the CWM Recovery, it leaves the option to partition your sd and other Recovery as version 5, if it comes.
Download a software named "MiniTool Partition & do it via computer. You can add ext2/3/4 partiton with it.

I downloaded the program and I partitioned the sd with ext4 and fat32
But I think the program did not recognize me Link2sd While ext4 partition because I see that now in the applications menu, the phone recognizes the ext4 as internal memory.
Since in the applications menu, I keep saying that the phone only has 350MB capacity.
What did u want then?u said u want to increase the partition for using apps.there should b 2 partition now.one is ptimary fat/fat32( below 4gb fat,over 4gb fat32) for external memory & other is primary ext partition for internal storage

Are you sure that in you SD card, the 1st partition is FAT32 and is set to primary & 2nd partition is EXT4 and also set to primary?
In applications menu, if the internal memory is recognized as EXT4, you may have formatted the 1st partition of your SD card as EXT4.
Try this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
In the tutorial, the 2nd partition is formatted as EXT2, try EXT4.
I partitioned my 32 gig sd card into 2 (fat32 and ext4). This was done for link2sd as I have my phone rooted n I use the 2nd partition for linking applications. But my second ext4 partition is of 12G n the rest is in the fat32 first partition. I also use foldermount to link large game data and obb to the sd card's 1st partition. Now I'm running out of space on the first partition. And the ext4 partition is all free (around 9G). Now I want to resize the first partition to increase its size n decrease the ext4 partition size. Windows doesn't recognize the second partition as usual.
So, how can I re-partition my SD card WITHOUT loosing data on either of the partitions? I'm not worried about the first partition as I can back it up but I cant back up the linked files present on the 2nd partition.
Any help is appreciated.
I have install this CM12.1, but I can't move app to SD card, it says "Not enough storage space", my SD card is empty, I have tried:
Format the SD card to ext2, but CM12 can't read it
Format to Fat32 in CM12
Using SDFix
Is it possible to move app to SD card ?
Try to format your SD card to ext4 it should solve your problem. Mine is ext4 and works fine. Im using Link2SD too it is more clearer

I have tried to format to ext4, CM12 can mount it, but also can't move app to SD, Link2SD's "Link to SD" function need to partition the SD card to 2 partitions, but I don't want to do this.

1st off all. Why would you format your external SD card to F2FS. F2FS is only used for partitions like system/data(aka internal storage) and cache. There's no need to format your SD card to F2FS, all you can do now is format is back to FAT32 or exFAT (since that's what most SD card uses) and you should be able to use your SD card back.
Hit Thanks if this help you
