built in Disk Utility on Mac OS.
Note:
When you connect your device to PC as mass storage,
Android unmounts the rst FAT partition but the second
partition remains mounted so the apps linked to this partition
are not a ected and can be run without problems.
But the apps which their obb and external data les have
been moved to the external storage don\'t work until the
mass storage is disabled and the external storage is
remounted on the device.

with a single tap. Also cache cleaner widget displays total
cache size and enables "one tap cache cleaning" without
opening the app.

I am a newbie for android OS. You stated that you can do this
SD partition stu with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home
Edition" (free). Sahll I have to use a lunix based pc? or Win Xp
is enough?
Besides, ext2 partition will be used for the apps. And SD card
also has another partition with FAT 16 format. So, what will be
ratio for these partitions? Let's say I owned a 8 gb SD card.
