Storage Manager
Based on original Windows CE Storage Manager.
Install CAB file and go to Settings->System->Storage Manager
This program allow you to manage your stores and partitions.
You can format and dismount store.
You can create new/delete/mount/dismount partitions in store.
If your partition have FAT file system, you can also format, run scandisk and defragmentator.
On format tool you can select cluster size.
Scandisk can find errors in your SD, CF card.
I didn't test it, because all my attempts to create a lost clusters on SD 32mb failed
If someone know how/can test it, please do it.
Defragementator is very slow, but it works, at least on my 32 mb SD card.
I try to defragment 1 Gb SD and wait during a hour, but it didn't finish it.
I don't recommend to do experiments with your system stores and partitions.
You can create several partitions on your SD, CF card and it works!
I create a four partitions on my SD 32mb card and it works!
I have SD Card, SD Card2, SD Card3 and SD Card4 now.
You should careful use this tool.
Hi,
Seems a very useful tool. Thanks for developing it. I'm installing now.
WB
thanx seems to be very useful
Would be interested to know if we could take a 4gb card which does not work on PPC 6700 and make 2 2gb partitions, would this work anyone???
interesting, gonna check this out.

I don't know, because I haven't 4 GB card.
Somebody should try it.
YO DUDE!!!!
This app ROCKS!!!!
Been having so much trouble with my 4gb SD (infact two 4gb SD cards, both would go corrupt if I loaded more than 2gb on them), but I tried your app, and now I have two 2gb partitions (well 1.95gb actually, but it'll do me nicely!!).
Finally, I can now watch the rest of heroes at work!!!
LOL
Thanks again

do you test it well?
try to fill both partitions by files and check it.
You should be sure that it works, otherwise you can have problems in future.
Yeah, have been testing the integrity of the partitions and the first one is fine, but the second one is still being silly, and Im still getting corrupt files on the 2nd one.
Not really sure what to do now!!!
(
Might try and create 3 partions, one 2gb, and two 1gb ones. Lets see what happens then!!
RR
Ok, just tried the 3 partition idea and.......it didn't work!!!
Was unable to create a third, so instead I have one 2gb and one 1.5 gb, as the cards total capacity is supposed to be 3.98 gb, but I thought I'd reduce it a little (Im sure I won't miss 400mb).
So just testing the second partition now, will report back with results.....
RR
oh...
I think, driver can't translate large offsets.
my pocket (Dell x51v) already have SDHC driver, isn't it?
I can try to extract it using my ROM Extractor, correct relocations and send to you for testing.
Possible it will work, so wait.
Great utility. Just what I need.
But I'm trying to run it on my 2GB card and it stops about half-way through. Any idea? Before it stopped it recovered about a dozen files (xxxxxx.chk). I've tried re-running it but it always halts at the same point
I have an 8gb sd card for my evo and i need to put a 5.2 gig movie on it. Is there any way i can convert the sd card so that i can put files on it that are larger than 4gb? I formated it to NTFS and the evo wouldn't recognize it. PLEASSEEEEE HELLPPPPPPPPP. THANKS!
Not gonna happen. I don't believe Android has any NTFS support at this time and they probably aren't really looking in to it.
It does.
But fat32 is faster.
I'll test it out, but chances are I'm wasting my time.

whenever I formated my card to NTFS and put it in my phone it never would recognize it, and wouldn't let me mount it till I formated it back to fat32.
i know it supports ext file systems but i don't know if those are only mounted as apps2sd or if it can be mounted as the main partition for everything
but if ntfs doesn't work it's worth a shot
edit: ext driver for windows http://www.fs-driver.org/
personally i would suggest one of the following options
option 2 compress the video so it is below the 4gb cap (1 file lower quality)
option 3 split it into 2 parts 4gb +1.2gb parts (would maintain full quality but would have 2 files)
i'm assuming your using windows (because u want ntfs) so i cant help with finding apps for compressing or splitting as i use mac but few min of google search should turn up an answer
you need a custom kernel with ntfs built in, or it wont work
none exist as of now, because its not worth the time

Wait, why can't you put a file higher than 4GB on FAT32? I've return that I've had isos bigger than that on my flash drives.

your flash drive probably is ntfs or if mac hfs+
fat32 has a file maximum of 4gb no clue as to why but i do know it is there
good example is the ps3 only supports fat32 so games with files above 4gb are split into smaller sizes and cant be played off of external till parts are rejoined together on internal HDD or compressed to smaller sizes
mrpuffin said:

fat32 probably uses 32-bit addressing which allows up to 4gb to be accessible per file. Just like you can't recognize memory over 4gb on a 32-bit OS.
what about ext4 or 3 it supports lfs. 16gb files or some ****
And there are already ways to create an ext4 or ext3 partition on your sd card, doesn't aman ra do that? or sdpart or something. I dont remember I've never needed apps2sd or anything like that. I have such few apps. But I'm pretty sure that'll be the way to go since it is recognized so easily by linux anways.
I'm sure the OP just said NTFS because it is what he is familiar with, not because he actually wanted to use NTFS for any particular reason.
Afaik, no. Recompress the movie. Or just split it.
Hi there, new to this forum so can't post to development forum although I searched there. I'm running Swiftdroid 1.8 / CM7 by Mur4ik on my GT540 and all works fine. The stock 2Gb SDcard that came with the phone is a bit small for my liking so I got myself a Kingston 8Gb class 4 SDHC. Unfortunately this card does not seem to be recognized by the phone, the following are the symptoms:
1. When inserting card and booting phone, mostly it gets stuck at LG boot screen.
2. Sometimes it does boot but then doesn't mount the SDcard. After boot I get a notification like "unknown filesystem on SDcard" (or similar), and do you want to format the SDcard? Yet if I try to format it using the phone, it doesn't work.
3. Checking with adb shell and "mount" I see that the SDcard is not actually mounted.
4. The card is recognized fine on a computer via USB under both Windows and linux, and I can transfer files.
5. When manually partitioning the SDcard (gparted under Ubuntu) to only contain a 4Gb partition formatted with FAT16, then it works fine and is recognized (remaining 4Gb unused). Unfortunately FAT16 is 4Gb max, so I can't format the whole card in a single FAT16 partition. Also at that size FAT16 is very space wasteful (65k cluster size) so that even a tiny file takes minimum 65k space.
6. However, when formatting this SAME partition (i.e. 4Gb) as FAT32 it is not recognized and I get the same errors as above with the single 8Gb FAT32 partition.
7. I tried reformatting the card with SD Formatter 3.0 from ---www dot sdcard dot org--- but it did not make a difference.
So it does not seem to be the card that's faulty. Has anyone else experience with using FAT32 formatted SDcards on Swiftdroid? From reading the forums this should be no problem and certainly the Linux kernel can recognize FAT32. Also there was a report of someone using a 32Gb SDHC with the GT540 although I'm not sure which firmware (stock or mod).
I haven't tried it with Stock LG 2.1 ROM but am very happy with Swiftdroid so don't want to go back to 2.1 just to get the SDcard working.

What is the "disk parted" software you are referring to? Can't seem to find it. Can you post a link? I've tried gparted, fdisk and cfdisk under Linux, as well as SD formatter 3.0 under Windows.
I have had similar problems after changing card, that I managed to resolved after rebuliding MBR of the card and reformating the card
Use Mini Partition Wizzard (Home Edition), delete existing partitions ,select disk and rebuild MBR, than do the format.
I hope that helps, I worked for me.

Tried this, but it did not make a difference After trying to boot phone with newly formatted SD card, it just gets stuck at LG logo. When re-inserting the original 2Gb SD card it boots up just fine.

OK, so I tried formatting the card with TestDisk (under Ubuntu linux) but again it did not help. Place freshly formatted FAT32 8Gb SDcard into phone, switch on, and it gets stuck at LG boot logo Insert original 2Gb card (FAT16) and it boots just fine....
The 8Gb card seems just fine as I can mount it under Windows and Linux, copy files, read files, etc. all normal.
So I'd be interested to hear about your many "small alternative fixes"
P.S. Also tried Mini Partition Wizard (following ktmt suggestion) under Windows, but did not work either.
SAME thing happened to me what i did is flashes some kdz files in hope to freshen up the phone and it worked for me
I think you will find that for a larger card, you really need at least a class 6 card so that the card doesn't cause a bottle neck. A class 4 card may be too slow for that size card. I have heard of a few people getting rid of any card problems they had by using a faster card.

In his phone 8 GB SD-Card doesn't work correctly but in my phone works fine. I didn't know what is damaged, his phone or SD-Card
In brother phone, SD-Card doesn't format correctly and after this process, phone won't mount SD-Card and i get notification that SD-card is empty or damaged ;/
I will trying my 16 GB SD-Card into brother phone.

Yes, pretty much any Android device out there will work with a 64gb microSD if you allow the device to reformat it to FAT32 versus the default exFAT file system. The phone will ask to do this automatically when it finds an incompatible file system on the card, so its pretty easy to do.

In theory reformatting to FAT32 will work up to 2TB. The largest a single file can be is 4GB due to the 32bit limitation of this older file system. This is part of the reason exFAT is being used on newer cards.

The 32GB limit is an artificial limit set by Microsoft and others so that people would choose newer file systems. Its just a coincidence (or perhaps they did it on purpose) that this limit was set at 32GB. The 32 in FAT32 refers to the fact that it can only represent a file with 2^32-1 bytes which turns out to be around 4GB. But as long as you keep individual files below 4GB, there really isn't any disadvantages to FAT32, maybe slower transfer speeds.
exFAT is basically the successor to FAT32. If we ever get exFAT support in Android someday, the card can be formatted back to exFAT easily.
When I moved my 128gb card from my Note3 instead of extSdCard it for some weird reason named it 18fa-adfa. It's there a way to rename it. I have Busy box installed, I just need to know the steps to do it. I tried using ES Explorer but got a task failure.
Worst case please tell me how to do a symbolic link.
Thanks.

Did you try putting the microsd card in an sdcard adapter and inserting into a card reader on the pc? This will show as a drive letter and should allow you to rename or format the microsd card.

No way to rename the microSD, it's a new Android 6 feature: it refers to the microSD using some unique ID, not by the label.
But generally there are other ways to access the SD content, for ex. using /mnt/external_sd or similar

After having received and configured my new S7E I unfortunately must confirm what you said... in the Samsung's MM there are no friendly names referring to the microSD under /mnt nor under /storage, like in other MM smartphones...
There must be a way to symlnk a name? We need a small app for that. I'm sure rooting is required.

Bump.
Same problem here. Some file managers see it as Media Card, some as SDcard, but the majority see it as "random combinations of numbers and letters" that is identifiable to the card otherwise. More annoyingly, some file managers see it as both and treat it as 2 different SD cards each requiring their own permission. Galaxy S7 Verizon using SanDisk 64GB, Samsung 64GB and Samsung 128GB. Same results.

I thought that quote was hilarious! :laugh: I guess everyone in this thread is too young to have ever used DOS or maybe even the Windows command prompt. This "unique ID" has been around for years. It's simply the Volume ID stored in the boot sector. It can be changed easily on NTFS and FAT32 boot records using a disk editor, Sysinternal's VolumeID utility or with the HardDiskSerialNumberChanger program. The problem with exFAT is that there is a checksum stored and if the boot sector is changed, Windows and Android will think the SD card is corrupt. Use Rufus to format it to FAT32 and you'll be able to change the Volume ID to whatever you want.

I'm actually using exFAT, for me there are no chances on Android for the slow proprietary NTFS or the obsolete FAT32...
If I understand well, are you really going to use FAT32 on a 128 GB microSD used to store 4K recordings and videos?

I was just saying that if you want to change the Volume ID, you're going to have to format the card in FAT32. I don't know if any Android phones support NTFS. When I had MBR hard drives, I used to change the Volume ID's on them so that's why I said it can be done on NTFS.
On my Sony Xperia M4 I'm currently using exFAT, but my LG phones only support FAT32, so I did use Rufus to format the 64 GB SDXC cards to FAT32 for them. I don't need to store anything over 4 GB and FAT32 is much more compatible if I have to use the card in other devices, like my pre-Cinavia Blu-ray player. My phone isn't capable of 4K recording and most apps probably don't write files larger than 4 GB since there are still a lot of phones in use that don't support exFAT at all.
In my opinion, it's good that Android 6 supports the Volume ID, especially if you switch out SD cards, because then an app won't accidentally overwrite data on the wrong card.
I've been using exFAT formatted microSD on all my phones since Lollipop cause AFAIK exFAT access should be faster then FAT32.
Even my latest microSD (Lexar microSDXC, 128 GB, 1800x, UHS-II) comes from factory already formatted in exFAT.
Moreover, exFAT is natively compatible with Windows at least since version 8, no special drivers or utilities needed, even exFAT formatting new media is possible within those Windows versions.
So, whenever possible, IMHO is wiser to use exFAT on latest Android versions.
