HOW TO PARTITION SDCARD VIA TWRP

twrp_partition_sd_card
This is just a supplement into partitioning your sdcard via minitool, you may try this if it will work out for your android devices in case you don't want to use the minitool partition method via pc.

Again not all devices will be able to read your sdcard after partitioning through TWRP but will be detected when using your computer but on your device it will detect as Microsd on 0Mb and will require to reformat to be usable again.




Disclaimer: I am not held responsible if you destroy your sdcard or selected your internal memory deleting all your installed apps or datas, do it at your own risk as I also did when I partitioned my sdcard using TWRP.

Things needed:
1. A rooted phone or unlocked bootloader
2. TWRP flashed to your device

note:

Steps:
1. Boot into twrp recovery (volume down+power)-check your device if its on volume up+power.

2. Simply click the advance tab.

3. Select Partition Sd card.

4. Choose your storage (warning! make sure you selected microsd not your internal storage)

5. Now set the extension size you wish to extend like 2gb, 3gb and so on (for this tutorial since I have a 32gb microsd I chose 8gb). This size will be alloted for your device when installing apps as extension to free up your internal memory from too much datas installed.

6. Just input 0 on swap size as most experts say this is not needed by your device.

7. Select ext3 or ext4, depending on your device just make some trial and error which extension will be readable to your device.

8. Wait until it says partitioning complete.
complete!

9. Congrats! You just partitioned your sdcard for your android device.

10. Now check if your device can read your newly partition sdcard.

note: tested this for asus zenfone 2 laser 5.5s ze550kl asus z00ld but could not be read by the device so minitool partiton was used instead here.

  1. Why not use the entire available SD card size for the EXT partition? Is there a reason NOT to do this?

    1. If we allot all the space in our sdcard then simply there was no partitioning done but we just assigned our sdcard to be used in our internal memory and will leave no room for our downloaded songs, photos and other files we wish to keep in our sdcard that we can readily access(real sdcard)plus you can not access it thru your pc the EXT
