i have already factory reset, but still have sd card and internal memory about 25% full...each time i try to unmount it and format it freezes and FC's
any ideas?
you could try to just mount it on your pc and format it that way
Or format them under settings -> storage. Factory restore doesnt wipe sd cards, neither internal nor external

I created some partitions for the Spartacus Kernel awhile back. I'd like to remove them now. I've Odined back to a stock ROM but they are still there.
Not sure but maybe backup everything you want from your sd card to your computer and then format your sd card.

I tried formatting the SD card and that did not work. Thank you though.
Any other ideas?
Any help please?
There is free partition manager software available online that you can download to your PC to manage any partitions on your SD card (and PC hard drive as an added bonus).

How do i delete my sd card partition and the swap partition?
Go to recovery then in recovery go to mounts and storage then go to format sd ext also another is to unmount the sd card and then format but all your sd card data will go so I highly suggest you back it up.

Easiest for me is partitioning on a computer with cardreader. Here you can see what you are doing. But you need Linux. This can be a live-CD for example Knoppix.

Thats one way, 2nd method is use minitool partition in your laptop or computer, 3rd method if you want to format entire SD card to its original state is, go to settings, SD Card settings > unmount SD Card > format SD Card.
i'm running legendary rom rc2 and i'm getting the above error when launching my camera. any ideas? is this a known issue? searching didn't pull up much.
Check your SD card....
Is it mounted?
Are you able to access it?
Is it full?
Backup your data to your pc, format your sd card by booting into CWM selecting mounts and storage and format sd. Once its done, move your data back into your sd and retry your camera.

i accidentally created a EXT partition on my sd card using clockwork recovery, i cant seem to find how to undo, or remove this partition, any help would be appreciated, also , is there a way to retrieve the files from that partittion?
Well since I don't use an ext partition I can't be sure about this, but I believe that if you go to make the partition again in CWM that you can set the size to 0. As for the data you had before making the partition, it's gone. When you made the partition it had to format your SD card completely clearing it.
reformat sdcard from settimgs and it will go away (so will all data on sdcard)

Not correct at all!
Formating the SDcard will format only the partition in FAT32 format and will nor remove partitions that are not in FAT32 format.
The only solution I can think of is repartition the SDcard from the recpvery and set 0MB in the ext size.
This will delete all your data from the SDcard so be sure you backup it prior to doing the repartitioning.

no, hes 110% correct, i eneded up having to lose all my data... i went to settings>storage>unmount SD card> format SD card. and the EXT partition was removed
Moonshield thought you were talking about formatting from a Windows PC I think because that would reformat the non ext partition to fat32 leaving the ext partition there. He was correct, he just misunderstood the situation.
na just from the phone itself ive setup a custom webtop 3x then refomatted over it in the phone b4 Note formatting is really hard on.sdcard and they can only be rewritten.so many times. untill your sd card just fails

I've rooted my S4, and now I'm trying to partition the SD card so that I can use link2sd and free up some more space. Does anyone know how to do this using a Mac??
Many thanks in advance!

I think you can do it using twrp recovery.

A resize option may appear only after you have formatted the sd card using twrp.

Oh, okay. I might try that...how certain is this 'may appear'? I'm concerned about losing stuff...if I backup my SD card onto computer through a file manager, will it back up EVERYTHING or could I still lose some data?

You just copy everything from the sd card onto the pc. Android apps usually store their data on the internal storage, so the sd card has only files that you put there.
I recently formatted my /data partition as ext4 and after the format there was a resize option, which wasn't there before formatting.

I wiped my SD card using TWRP, but still there is no 'resize' option

As I was saying, I used the "change file system" option to format my data partition, and that gave me the resize option.

Ahh okay, got it. But with this method, is there a way to choose the size of the partition? When I click on 'resize', there are no settings - just a 'swipe to confirm'...
Also, when I turned on my phone I still have no extra internal memory, and the SD card is not found. I try to mount the SD card from Settings -> Storage, but it just says "Blank SD card"...
