As title, I'm currently backing up files from my old phone and I want to know if I can format the backup drive in exFAT or if I need to stick to FAT32. Either on stock rom or on miui.eu rom.

Do i still need to manually partition my sd card before installing custom rom? or is there any rom's which doesnt require partition of memory card? It is because my usb sd card reader is broken and i dont know of any other way in partitioning sd except mini tool wizard.
can you please advise me about this?
thanks.
I didn't partion mine when I just updated to FroyoComb v1.5 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085607 by D4rKn3sSyS
I did the steps mentioned on my website here if that helps
@vdciii
If U R going to install ROM based on Android 2.2+ U don't have to have Ur card partitioned (and even having it could block possibility to move apps to SD)
Well ROM u will be flashing should most probably be having apps2sd natively-
HENCE NO NEED TO PARTITION ANYTHING
how about link2sd and flashing cm7?
would that affect the flashing of the rom? or is it possible?

You really got to be specific. Would what affect flashing a rom? and is what possible?

Well you'll have to disable app2sd which will be natively supported, and yeah you can use links2sd and it won't effect flashing, but I wonder is links2sd supports gingerbread on which cm7 is based????

Question posted multiple times before a search of XDA may find the solution .
jje
I formated it with first software that came up after the google search,
but the galaxy s 2 says that the file system is not supported...
is there anything else i need to do to make it work?
Plesae help me i couldnt find anything!
I really need help here guys, I bought the sdcard
for putting hd films on it, and splitting them is not an option
because I use subtitles from a file and they are not together
with the mkv file...
It went to like page 5
What i think you need is link2sd from the market and dual partition the sdcard.

Which ROM are you in? Maybe you're ROM can't mount SD Card as ext2. You could also try exFAT.
I'm using Checkrom Revolution v4...
Using another program to format it will work?

You can create multiple partitions on your external SD card formatted with ext2/3/4 or NTFS (together with Siyah kernel and ntfs-3g) or FAT32. Use your PC and a partition manager or fdisk/mkfs on your rooted phone.
But you have to mount the partitions manually or you need special support from the kernel (via ueventd). If you want to replace the external FAT32 partition completely with another filesystem for use with the ROM as media partition you need a compatible mount manager (vold daemon). The vold version 2 in stock ROMs only supports FAT32. I guess there is no difference with Checkrom Revolution. As far as I know only CM 7 has support for a (read only) NTFS partition and extX.
Changing a kernel would make it work on CheckRom Revolution?
if so, is there any recomended kernel?
I am wondering the same thing. I am using the stock Samsung kernel...
Sup Yall.
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.

caution, formatting 64gb cards in fat32 can cause data corruption over time. i recomend this mod. works on aosp and tw roms that have init.d support. i use it and works great for exfat support http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155363

I'm currently on CM11 and I would like to dual boot the custom OS of B&N Nook. Anyone please suggest me how to do it?
the cm11 that you're on is, i'm assuming on the internal storage correct?
if so, restore back to the stock firmware (google's your friend there) and use the SD version of this: http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2014...droid-4-4-2-for-nook-tablet-sdcxxx-01jan2013/

If I format my sd card as internal storage on an android 6.0 based rom, and then I flash an android 5.1.1 based rom, will the sd card still be considered as internal storage?
PS: To thread moderator ,
Please help me to rephrase the heading of this thread in a better way
No it won't work. The way MM handles the card is different from the way LP handles it. I recommend holding off just a little longer

Wait for MM to become polished before running an experimental version unless you can contribute in the way of fixes and stuff like that.

Also, can it be used as normal SD card if I flash a lollipop based rom, even after formatting it as internal in marshmallow?
And,
If I again revert back to marshmallow(after lollipop), do I have to format it as internal again?

I'm not completely sure. I believe so.
if you flash MM ROM now just select 'use as external card'. If you format and use it as internal storage you can not use it in another phone or ROM. That's what the setup says when you boot MM for the first time.
There are guides that show how to partition your SD Card in TWRP in order to use it as a type of internal storage. This will work with Lollipop as well.
