Making partitions on SD card will delete everything from SD card,so make a backup of SD on your PC,then delete everything from SD card and make partition. I did like this

EXT size doesn't matter, put the space necessary to fit your needs. If you doesn't wish to use SWAP (or if you doesn't know what's that), set the SWAP size to 0.
Pay attention to this, also:

My advice to you would be to use minitool wizard to partition your sdcard.
But however or whatever way you choose to partition your sdcard remember to make a copy of your sdcard contents in a folder on your PC.
Below is a screenshot.

Back up all content on SD card.
Boot to AmonRA recovery. Choose to partition SD.
Choose no EXT partition, and no swap
There you go

Thanks, but i have already tried that, and it didn't work.
For those still having this problem, SD Formatter works perfectly for regaining the space in those ext2 partitions you no longer want.
Remember to backup all your important information from the memory card before formatting them.
If those wanting the link to download the software, pm me because I can't post links within posts yet.
SD Formatter works awesome. Just do a google search.
I just used Acronis Disk Director 11, (os win7), deleted the ext2 partition, and then to complete the task it will ask to reboot, then go back into DD and then resize to the full card. Again it will ask to reboot and that's all you have to do. Very easy.
thanks alot.......SD formatter works like a gem.....
Looks to work nicely. Thanks.
here is simple method that worked for me
i went to partition sd card option (after i had partitioned it wrongly)
then went to
advaced > partition sd > ext size to 128mb > swap size to 0mb... and i m done ...
recovered my 4Gb in 8gb card..
now installing MIUI ROM
Do I need to partition sd-card before flashing ROMs
some have written but some have not...
By the way, what does partitioning sd-card do?
Example:
Nessy's ROM need partition?
You have to go according to rom specification, if it says you need partition than you have to partition it. Else no.

as u see if u create an ext parttition in your sd card all ur app and games moves to the sd card partition by default using a2sd and ur phone gets a larger space but using ext partition requires a minimum of class 4 sd card
what is sd partition?is it advisable to make one?what are its benefits?what is the probable risk of doing such?
any opinion or suggestion would be appreciated. thank you all!

If the ROM requires an ext partition, I would strongly suggest getting a Class 4 or better SD card. For what kind of partition, read the instructions for the particular ROM regarding filesystem/size.
Thanks again..
Ok..can u pls tell me which custom rom supports class 2 sd card...and which one doesnt need partition of sd card

This is not a matter of ROM. Class 2 is simply too slow, I would not suggest using with any custom ROM that relies on sd-ext partition. Best case will cause the phone to be slow.
CM7 ......i m using it on class 2 sd card .....
Partition Sdcard:
Partition SD: Partition's sdcard for apps2sd (this formats card so all non backed-up data is lost)
- will create ext2 partition (you will be asked for size of ext2 and cache)
just to clarify things,.the backups made through nandroid will not be erased if i partitioned sd card?

If you partition your SD card all data that was there before will be GONE. (Already written pretty explicitely in the text you quoted.)

U mean the internal memory? U won't need to format it m8, just delete what's on it and just flash over whats left.
No need for a format, there probably is a section in there to format it though.

It is not necessary to format internal sd card to prepare for one new flash?

Ok but why in others post the people speak about using terminal emulator or dialer code to format sd card?
Usually with rom i used cwm to format but by sgs3 this is not possible or i wrong
It is very safe and will keep your system clear. I tried. No problem

In some versions of CWM, the internal sdcard and external SD (emmc) are flip-flopped. In order to format the internal SD of my galaxy s2 using CWM, I had to choose the option to format emmc. If I chose sdcard (which should represent internal SD), it would have formatted my external micro USB. If you have an external SD, just remove it before trying this procedure so you don't wipe the wrong thing (I have made that mistake).
Hello, I recently saw a guide on how to move app data to the SD card using Titanium Backup and it says that the partitions I make on my SD card have to be between 1GB and 2GB. I would just like to know why it can't be more (for example a 26 GB partition) and if I can create multiple partitions (ext2, ext3, etc.) to store more data on the SD card.

I haven't used Titanium in years, but you should be able to make it however big you want. I use link2SD to do this same thing and I have a 4gb partition. I used aparted app to make the partition. Hopefully this helps some.
