Well when I first tried to partition the Sd card, I go errors that the SD card was spoilt on my ACE. I was bewildered, so I tried this method and it worked!!
1. Safely remove SD card.
2. Insert the SD card in the u D to SD converter provided by samsung.(Yeah you need to this, I was not able to format the SD card while it was in the phone and this is clas 2 card. BTW I am using the 2GB card provided by Samsung India with SGA.)
3. Using mini partition tools (http://download.cnet.com/Partition-Wizard-Home-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html) partition into FAT (16 or 32 depending on SD card size) and ext 2.
4. Insert back the sd card, and run commands (refer the ROM post) in ADB or using terminal for android. Voila! A2SD is setup after a loooong reboot.
Guys AFAIK there are SD cards with classes 2, 4, 6,8 and 10. (may be higher classes, but I have not come across them.) Basically CLASS of the SD card indicates the data transfer rate of the SD card. Higher the class much better is the Data transfer rate. I would suggest you to go for a class 4 or class 6, 4 or 8 Gb SD cardif you just plan to use the 'a2sd cachesdreset' and go for class 10 (COSTLY!) 16 Gb SD card if you like to store a lot of media and if you want to use 'a2sd datasd' command as there will be slight LAG with lower clas SD cards.
The brands that I would recommend are : Transcend, Kingston which r available in India.
press THX if I helped!!!

I had some problem with SD 4gb Class 4. Others, with class 6 or better didn't have problems. I don't know if all sd cards class 2 or 4 has problems, but some has.

Hi mate!
I feel all sd cards can be partitioned into partitions (sorry for the repetitiveness of the sentence ).
The 2nd step just states that you have to insert your sd card into the micro SD card to SD card converter that samsung (you can also get it from computer stores. just ask for micro SD to SD converter. It will cost 20 Indian Rupees = 0.3$ ) has provided. Then insert that converter along with micro SD card into a card reader on a laptop or the one that can be connected to the PC.
hey i'm new to all this and i guess i messed it up..
I have the sd card provided by samsung, 2gb one...i followed whatever u said...but in the terminal it says 'EXT partition is not mounted'
...what to do?
____
Everything sorted out...I flashed it again with sd card inserted,......Thanks for the tutorial!
I have bought a SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC (Class 10, UHS-I) and put it into my new S3 (16 GB, black):
In "Settings" the Card gets detected and shows its correct size (59GB)
When plugging the SD Card into my Notebook, it's shown as 64 GB device, also
When pluggin the Phone with inserted SD card to the PC via USB, two new drives are shown for the internal and the external space of my phone. They contain different files, but have both the same size (11GB)
Therefore, i am unable to use the 64GB of my external card. I guess it does not get mounted properly. Instead the extSdCard folder seems to be located at the internal space.
Do you need more detailed information for helping me to solve this issue?

/edit: I forgot to mention that after not being able to solve this, i rooted my phone. But nothing changed.

I have an android Marshmallow device. I put a 32 GB memory card in my device. I split it to 2 partition so i could use one as internal storage and the other as external.
I used the following command to split the SD Card:
sm partition disk:179:128 mixed 50
After that, I installed many apps. When i reboot the device, the apps that are stored in the SD card are removed. I don't know why?

Please developers I need help with my phone [Nokia 3.2 android 10 last update 5 feb 2021 2gb ram,16gb rom no finger print].
I recently insert an 8gb rom SD card because I was lacking space. After setup everything and add it to internal storage I got a 16gb SD card so I remove the 8gb and put the 16gb it started saying file error/couldn't save screen shot/can't delete file/the app icon became the android default icon with default com.company.appname format.
I then put back the 8gb , it still had some problems so I hard flashed it.after 4 day it started have the same error, doing bug report, so I flashed it again.today it took a bug report. I need help rooting it or moving all apps to SD card and moving a specific file to internal folder (I use it to play PUBG but my SD card is slower than the internal storage and freezes will playing),I also need to fix the error. The bug report file I attached was extracted so I compressed it back and named it null.
