I mean. I'm a Linux user and a Mac OSX user. I Do NOT need fat32. I can read linux partition with my linux machine. and linux ext format don't have 4G limitation. I can even found ext driver for windows. or Mac but I found that my android phone can't format it to ext, I want my /sdcard in ext format. Is that a solution for this?

is there a native android app/script to check fat32 sdcard for errors and fix them?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI use Link2SD on a stock ROM, so my second SD card partition is a FAT32 partition, rather than an ext partition (the stock ROM doesn't support ext partitions). Link2SD does not however link the app data to the SD card, only the apps themselves. What I am wondering is if there is any data2SD script I can install easily alongside Link2SD that will move/allow me to move my apps' data to the 2nd FAT32 partition on my SD card? I have found that the app data takes up about 70MB of my internal storage, which leaves me with only about 40MB free.

I really want Mass Storage mode, as I use my phone as a memory stick for various educational purposes, including running various executables directly from the Mass Storage.
Is it possible to create a 1GB, or so, FAT32 partition from the normal ext4 space and allow that to be mounted as Mass Storage?
Running 4.2.1 Supernexus on an i9100, I had a 32GB Micro SD card in the phone and when I had it connected to my computer I formatted it, except I foolishly set the format to NTFS. Now android won't read it (doesn't show up in storage) nor will it mount it when connected via USB so I can't put it back to FAT32/exFAT
Installed Paragon's NTFS mounting tool which mounts the drive but it's still not showing up in storage or being mounted via USB.How can I format it back to FAT so it will be read by windows and/or android? I'm surprised there is no SD Card formatting apps out there.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI asked in a couple of places but nobody answered so i just tried making compcache work by myself. what i did was:
- use recovery to format external sd fat32+swap
- use galaxoconf to activate compcache setting it on default which is 25600 i think.
Now the thing is - how do i know if it works and did i even do it right?
I'm running a custom ROM (4.2.2) on an HTC Vivid. When I connect to my PC via usb, Windows only sees the internal storage, not the external sd card, and there's no way to navigate to the System partition to access.
When I was running the stock HTC ICS, Windows would mount the external card as a separate drive. I know the file system hierarchy is different with JB. Is this why it only sees the internal storage now?
I want to install android on sd-card of my HTC HD2. Where can I download Android software MCCE SE 3.4 (Zip)???????
View 1 Replies View Relatedi've got a little problem with my new SD-Card.
Actually i'm using an ICS ROM for HTC Desire with reverse mount. With my old SD-Card the whole system got really slow and laggy although i tried several settings in the ROM. So i bought a new one (Sandisk Ultra Mobile Class 6 - 16 GB).
My old card has a FAT32 partition and a little EXT-3 partition for the reverse mount option. I've read that EXT-4 is maybe a bit better and faster and more reliable so i decided to format the new one as followed:
14 GB FAT32 primary partition
1.4 GB EXT-4 primary partition
I've formatted the new SD-Card in my PC with "Mini tools partition wizard". Everything went fine until then.
Then i made a NANDROID backup of my old system onto my old SD-Card and copied alle the files from the old to the new card (FAT32 only). Then i put the new card into the phone and tried to restore the system. It worked but the system acted really strange (i think because of the change from EXT-3 to EXT-4 file system).
So i wiped and cleaned everything and made a new install of the ROM with reverse mount activated. Everything seemed to be ok but when i started to install Titanium backup to get my apps back the phone reboots at the beginning of the installation progress (after download). I made three installs of the ROM but it's always behaving the same way. Is the new SD-Card broken or did i mess things up when formatting the card?
I followed the instruction at [URL]... to disable the internal usb drive of Lenovo A820. But now my sd-card is not mounted anymore. What can I do?

I followed the instructions exactly and CM10 installed and "worked":

Insert into the device and boot (cold)/reboot (warm).
Wait for it to finish installation.

CM10 installed properly, but it didn't install CWM or gapps. The boot menu does not have a "boot to recovery" option.
How do I install CWM and gapps to the SD card?
I assume that I'll need to make another SD card just to boot CWM. With that I should be able to install gapps, but:

I got this 16G sdcard that from one day to another it stopped being recognized saying "blank card or has unsupported file system"
Besides the data, I had some applications installed on it.
I did tried to recover with a software, but even the software only can recognize space is occupied, but can't see it.
Is there any apps like media file recovery on PC , for recover any accidently deleted file or media file for android.

i have xperia ray and i want to swap my external sdcard with the internal memory.. Xperia ray has 300mb of internal memory and it's really low and isn't enough.. i know that there's a hack that switches the external sdcard with the internal memory.. i found a thread [URL] ..... that explains how to do that but i don't have the same line that the thread started has..this is what i have:

If u compress files on ur sdcard such as ebooks , videos ...etc, that should increase the storage space on the sdcard, right?

I formatted my internal sdcard to exfat by mistake while trying to simply format it(for some reason windows defaulted to exfat instead of fat32) now my sdcard won't mount and I can't format it in windows and can't mount it, I could get it back to fat32 and working again.

First some objections:
1- The sdcard is used in vfat filesystem, move simplely /data folder to sdcard will be cause some problems
2- Copy /data to /mnt/sdcard/data will not work completly because we got some error of permission
Code:
adb shell

So first thing i change size of sdcard, decreasing the partition size, and add a second partition with 3 Gbytes using ext2. To do this
Unmount the sdcard in settings>storage>unmount sdcard. I need discover where is the partitions
Code:
fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0
[Code] ....
For secure i reboot device, and umount card again. So format the second partition
Code:
mke2fs -t ext2 -m0 -b4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
And reboot again. This was hopeful action that it would recognize the card. But not ...
Code:
# mkdir /mnt/sdext
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/sdext
mount: No such device
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/vold/179:2 /mnt/sdext
mount: No such device
In My Epic Fail I was not successful
BEFORE that I wrote i try several tentactivies, apps but i m thinking that use adb will be the more better.
What is the best way, my internal device have less than 200 MB internal, so is too little !!! Maybe i will need change fstab or init scripts.
I'm on a S4 (I9505) phone and a lot of media files and also nandroid files are disappering from the sdcard (SDXC 64Gb). Yes, deleted. Most probably mounting and unmounting the sdcard, or rebooting, are removing the nandroid and media files.
I've used both TWRP and Phip recoveries. They work only if I unmount the storage card and reboot. Otherwise, in the first reboot, file are gone. Some users here in xda say we need to use short backup names. But it did not work for me.
Maybe it should be solved by the ROM side. But I'm not lucky and not finding a way to get a solution, not even using different kernel versions. Changing the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission suggested in many sites does not solve the issue [URL] ..... New ROMs seems to have incorporated this solution, but the problem is still there.
I also not being able to change the permissions for the mnt folder as suggested elsewhere here in xda. The operation (even my phone rooted with SuperSu) is not successful.
External SDcard is useless if we cannot trust on it.
