[Q] How can I delete swap partitions on the SD card?

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).

sd card partition on x8

do anyone how to do this??

You can use any partitioning tool while the sd card is mounted on a pc via usb (phone) or with a card reader. Backup your sd card first...
For Link2SD to work:
Both partitions should be of type Primary. For compatibility, format as FAT32 for the second partition.

thanks a lot....i will try tonightz....

I don't think it will make the rom/system more stable, but you will free up more memory for other apps. An app might have unforeseen issues though.
If you use Link2SD, the partition is mounted at sdext2\

or if you want a manual partition, you can refer to this link:

Use partition tool mini software or else. Check you sd card,whether you ext gone or not. But fat32 is not kind of partition dude.

maybe you configured swap partition & ur sdcard is already wear out....

Sounds like you didnt partition you sd card yet buddy?. make sure you sd card "Fat32" format. how many GB you sd card mate? if you go to my computer, your sd card a still the same size?? if yes,thats mean no partition yet.
And imma fully recommend, do not use CWM/USB port to partition your sd card.
Take out Sd card From Phone and Use SD Card Reader.
P/s : go to youtube.com And Search how to partition SD Card Ext3,ext2,ext4 Tutorial.

You can repartition your sd card correctly in cwm including adding any 2nd partition if required then copy files onto it from pc

Ext SD card problems

Hi all,
Can anyone help me with this problem?
I have a 32GB class 10 micro sd card and I have used it from s3.. when I went to put the card in my s4.. I was restoring some games from Titanium Backup and there is toast msgs saying External SD memory left 1.78mb..
How can it be if my card still have a storage of 25GB not used? Is the datas of the games in another partition or if I would need to format my sd card? To FAT or Exfat?

Look in the TWRP and or CWM folders and sub-folders on your external sdcard,
most likely you have many nandroid backups in those folders.
Or perhaps you have a lot of recorded videos on your externel sdcard.
If worst comes to worst copy all files and folders from externel sdcard to computer
and then remove the sdcard, connect it to computer and use this fat32 format utility
to reformat the card.
