Help ext4 for Galaxy S2

[dharmil007]

i Have Galaxy S2.

i HAve few queries regarding it :-

1} As i f0und out that that the file system for Galaxy S2 is ext4.
So can i format my SD Card to ext4 rather then FAT32 ?
will it work ? 'coz i plan on inserting 32GB SD card, after which if i wont be able to insert movies larger then 4GB, then it would be pathetic.

2} i previously used N8, so i just kinda liked the file Manager of N8, as it provided the views of a drive we can format SD card or USB drive.
But in Galaxy S2 we just can view/edit, we cant format it as per our use.

Can anyone pls give some advice ?

The internal filesystem is ext4, but storage volumes are FAT32.

will it work?

No, as (a) the handset won't recognise non-FAT32 external volumes and (b) the card will not be usable when mounted to a PC.

Menu/Settings/Storage will allow you to format both internal and external SD storage.

i know this.

In that case, why did you ask in the first place?

But i m talking about USB storage

That is the internal storage volume.

Here's your original question:

Note you said "SD card".

In any case the answer for either is the same - you can't use ext4.

Please read my reply again..... USB Storage = internal storage, SD Card = external storage.
