Hi Friends once a friend of mine asked how to partition memory card of Android.
And i thought of writing a blog on this , so i am writing the blog...
This tutorial will help you partitioning your android's memory card step by step ...
you must have been thinking, "Why we need to partition our memory card ?" answer to your question is you need to partition your memory card to install apps on that.
1. first of all make sure that you have backed up all the datas before you start partitioning your memory card as the memory card will be totally wiped(formatted before partitioning).
2. You need a Rooted android phone to do so. If you not rooted your Droid yet click here.....
3. To partiotion Your Droid's Memory card Android SDK must be installed. To download android SDK Click Here.To View the tutorial Click Here .
4. Right click here and save sdparted.txt to the root of your computer C:\(C:\sdparted.txt). this script was developed by "51dusty" at forum.xda-developers. To visit the original Thread click here .
5. Connect your Droid to the PC via USB . Boot into X-recovery or cm-recovery by holding down the power button . This will bring into X-recovery or cm recovery as shown in image below.
Now locate your Android SDK folder. Inside the tools folder,copy the two files adb.exe and AdbWinApi.dll to the system32 folder in path "C:\windows\system32".
6. Now go to start>run>cmd.exe
and run command prompt. At cmd type:- adb push /sdparted.txt /sbin/sdparted
hit enter .
Then enter - adb shell chmod 755 /sbin/sdparted
7. Now enter the command adb shell . It will give you a new prompt as shows in below image.
8. Its the point you issue the command to partition your SD card . there are many ways to do this , but the most common and easiest method is sdparted -efs ext4 . It will create a swap 32MB at ext4partition that is 512MB and the remainder of your card will be a fat32 partition.his allows for 512MB of apps to be installed on your SD card – which is plenty of space. If you’d like to set your card up differently,see all of the options listed here .
After enter the command sdparted -efs ext4 , you will be asked to confirm this action. type Y(must enter capital Y).
again and again you will be asked to confirm the action , enter Y.
9. Now you will be presented with a print out of your newly partiotioned Sd card. It should look similar to the screenshot below . Type exit to leave the adb shell. Restart the phone.
10. Now you have the partitioned memory card.
