This is a rewrite/repost, condensed and updated with information that I think is useful to a lot of rooted users. Partitions and kernels aren't frequently discussed. Most of us know that they exist but don't really know how they work. Hopefully it all becomes clear after reading this

Wonderful! I learned a lot.
But I could not understand about how to format partition by any file system, yet.
Could you help me?

Sincerely.

I'm not sure, but if I understand you correctly you're looking for instructions about how to partition your phone. Below is a link to OCN's guide. Go down to post #2 and you'll see the info for that.

Let us know if you are looking for something different.
