1st YES YOU HAVR STOCK KERNEL
2.ITS ACTUALLY NOT JB, Jellybeast ROM is a THEMED GB ROM.BUT ITS TRUELY AWESOME AND WORTH TRYING
3.If you are installing Any Custom ROM 1st make a NAND backup of your stock Rom Because Before flashing you might need to do a FULL WIPE/RESET
USING XDA APP ON SONY XPERIA U st25i
Before partitioning the sd card just make a backup in your pc because it will format the card
Flashing this will format your internal memory so make a backup of your contacts and messages etc
And Just follow all the instructions carefully and enjoy

Then you have asked about SD partition.
As you have A app backup using TITANIUM BACKUP and other data
On sd card.
1st copy all important stuffs to Computer and then partition using CWM because while partitioning It formats your SD completely

yeah this is good CWM by skin works almost 99% whereas CWM by madteam has got some glitches :/ but i don't really know the proper method to flash CWM by skin so i posted madteam CWM
and ext partition size mostly depends on you app usage and SD card size..
if you are a heavy gamer and install lotta apps then 1GB ext is enuf.. else 512MB is fine.. select SWAP size atleast 64MB or more.. some rom's makes use of SWAP and use it as secondary RAM

I use the Typhoon rom too. And used it without flashing anything else for about 4 months :laugh:.
Anyways, this rom already comes with an a2sd script. U dont need link2sd. The default script in the rom mounts the ext partition. I suggest u uninstall link2sd, and try rebooting. But i think people will probably have better suggestions

Op is asking how to remove partition.. not how to wipe/format partition.. so your answer is wrong for this question. So the correction..
You would remove it if you don't want to use the second or third(swap) partition anymore.
@ op.. use any partition managers like minitool, easus etc to remove it or as stated above windows disk management will do.. you would have to delete both partitions in sdcard and create a new partition of fat32.. search in Google.. you will find good guides..
But make a backup of sdcard first before doing it..

if you use some kind of partition manager, you can remove the partition without losing data, but always backup

err.. no.
Formatting only resets data on that partition. I mean it only clears data from that partition.. it won't delete the partition. Say you have 2 partition.
If you format in phone. It will format first partition. Second partition data will be intact. And it won't be deleted either.
______________________________________

just use any partitioning tool to remove both partitions, then make a fat32 partition of the whole sdcard.

you should be able to use minitool to remvove any sd card partition
copy anything you want to save onto pc
open mini tool
delete all partitions on sd card
create a new partition of fat32
hit apply
you could if you wanted just merge the partitions or delete the unwanted partition then extend the other partition into unused space but the above method is quick and simple

I have partition on sd card:confused and use it as internal storage for galaxy y. Will formatting and removing the partition corrupt the OS?
Could someone guide me or explain how exactly does A2SD script work? When I do everything in terminal emulator(su, a2sd install, y, n, y), If I recall correctly, when I did that in past, the internal storage memory was still going down as I was installing various apps. Why is that?

Please do NOT install A2SD with this ROM. It cannot do anything useful. It might even mess up things. A2SD is no longer required as we have something more fancy right now, which is called "DirectSD".

As heavy apps user, you should probably use a larger sd-ext for data (e.g. 6GB as proposed by walter).

You don't need two sd-ext partitions for CarbonROM. Just read post#1 or ask there.

Hi,
Moved to Q&A so the discussion can continue and keep the Dev thread free of clutter.
BD619
Installed Soak Test Lollipop from the Stock 4.4.4
- Unlocked Bootloader
- Rom Rooted
- No wipe's is needed
- All apps running without errors
- No crashes, no lags, no delay
- Installed Link2SD and moved successfully several apps to the SDCARD, all functioning well
- Very good battery life
- Wifi broken when multi-user enabled
- Backuped rom
- Backuped IMEI
- Waiting for next update
- Note 10 on cost / benefit
can you link apps to second partition using link2sd and reboot the system and watch the linked apps working flawlessly? Is your 2nd partition mounting automatically at boot?
(I guess you didn't link, you did the "app2sd" thing instead of linking).

I use link2sd and i "move" app to sdcard, not "link", and work fine.
I don't partition my sdcard, simply move app to release space into internal memory.
