Partition tutorial ( FAT, EXT & Swap )

Warning : This may degrade your sdcard's life, and deletes all your data on your sdcard. So you should backup everything first.

What you need :
- MiniTool Partition
- 4GB/higher class 6/10
- A card reader
- MicroSD Adapter
- Latest Busybox
- init.d support ( for linux swap )

How to :
1. Connect your sdcard to PC ( sdcard>Adapter>Card Reader>PC )
2. Open MiniTool Partition.
3. See your sdcard information down there.
4. Right click 'Disk 2' and select Delete all partition.
5. Right click Unallocated > Create > Primary > FAT32>OK
6. Then right click FAT32> Move/Resize>and drag that arrow on the right to whatever the size you want. ( as for me,I leave 'Unallocated space after' until 1GB, because my sdcard is only 4GB ).
7. Now you should have another Unallocated space.
Now this is what to add :
- FAT32 Information :
This partition is for main data, like songs, pics, videos, etc so make the capacity large enough.
Create as : primary
File system : FAT32
( save ¼ for ext/swap )

- EXT  Partition ( EXT2, EXT3, EXT4)
This one is like a2sd, it's like a virtual internal memory .
Create as : Primary
File system : EXT2, EXT3, or EXT4
( 1,25 GB is enough, really. )

- Linux Swap Partition :
This is like, virtual RAM, some say the bigger you swap, the effect is greater, but some says that making it bigger doesn't really do anything.
Create as : Primary
File system : Linux Swap
( 100MB is enough, I think ? ).
Download this script to activate swap ( install via CWM ) but your ROM should support init.d

DON'T FORGET TO CLICK APPLY WHEN YOU'RE DONE.
