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.)

its use for moving apps to sd ......... it also increases quaddrant score...... and u get space for apps on phone memory
hey all,
i was about to wipe and flash a new rom but accidentally clicked the partition sd in cwm. i think the size of the partition was 128mb...
i flashed the rom anyways and its like nothing happened. i plugged the phone into the pc and only shows the internal memory and my external sd card.
any1 had experienced this b4?
a little worried so need some input from others.
cheers
By internal u mean the 11.50gb partition and by external you mean ur memory card? Ofcourse you can only see those two.. You can see the 1.9gb partition of your phone because it is where the application gets installed and it is not used as storage for media etc(if you know what i mean)..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
from what i understand, the cwm 5.0 function "partition sd" means the 1.9gb partition. i think i partitioned that portion of the fone. anyway to reverse that? would a restore of backup clear that 128mb partition i made?
No, partition SD is the external one (micro sd)

Do you have xRecovery or CWM on your phone? you can format it with that.
Otherwise, look for GParted and use that.
minitool partition wizard can see u flashcard then Windows cant do it

You've been given two other suggestions, either Gparted, or miniitool partition wizard... they will both do what you want.
ok thnks but i tryied formating my sd card from my computer but nothing HAPPEN
D WHY ??
Formatting only empties the existing partition, and windows can only detect the FAT partition on your sd-card. You need a partition tool to either remove the other partition(s) and resize the fat partition to full size, or just delete all partitions and make a new one formatted in FAT.
thanks man sorry but could you help me with mini partition tool ?? i am a noob i am so sorry.I download it and what nextt ??
attach your phone to your computer
start Minitool partition wizard
Your SD card should be listed (probably as PHONECARD, check the size and the name with what windows shows you)
Click on the partition you want to remove and click Delete (leave the FAT partition alone)
Click on the FAT partition and click Move/Resize (use maximum available space)
Click Format
Click Apply
Done (I guess)
the problem is that it only shows my hard drive and my phone nathing else na partition but i know there is buacuse the sd is 4 gb and only 2.74 are free wtf??? is going on men ??? i dont know
fianly men thanx for all it had been fixed thnx for all thnx all of you
I want to create a ext partition on my SD card using GParted. But when I do this GParted will not finish the operation. I wait one or two hours and nothing happens. When I create a FAT32 partition it's no problem. With FAT32 everthing works(read, write). With CWM I also create a ext partition but CWM only create a FAT32 partition and instead of a ext partition there is a non-partitioned area. Did my Legend distroy the SD card? I don't understand it because I can use a FAT32 partition. Need help
Thanks for help and sorry for my bad english!

Use cwm instead to do the partitioning. But be sure to backup ALL contents of your sdcard as it will be completely wiped/formated.

Do you mean partitioning with cwm? I did this but it don't worked. Now I have an other trouble, too. I can't create a 2nd partition on my sd card :crying: I need this partition for my apps. Is there any way to "repair" my sd card or I have to buy a new one?

Since rooting my Legend, I have used up about 4 SD cards. They will work in other devices (DSi, other phones), but not in my Legend. My Legend just refuses to recognize them. So, to spare yourself a lot of hassle, you can try once more to, in recovery mode, format the card by using CWM (first make a backup of your card of course), then partition (create an EXT partition) also by using CWM.
If things do not work out, by a new SD card. That is what I did.
Edit: I just remembered: if your card has an ext partition and you try to create another ext partition, you will end up with two ext partitions. And my Legend wasn't too happy with that, after each reboot all my widgets were gone...
Hello
I have a friend with a S2 and while looking thru the space he has and were apps are installed I see that there are sort of 2 partitions and one of them is set as a SD card! (There is no SD card inserted)
How does this work? And why does it suppose that one of the partitions is the SD card? When I try to move apps to the SD card, I cant because I think Android thinks it needs to copy to /sdcard but obviously there is no SD card inserted.
Thank you
This thread has a lot of good info re: partitions.
