s,.. u can

first of alll...copy ur sdcard into ur lap r computer...(as partitioning deletes all the data)
Go to recovery->advanced -> partition ->select ext3(1024mb i.e 1gb or 512mb as pic says) AND select swap(65 mb)its nothing bt sd-cache
better use Voltage:cowboy control as 3rd party app for oc its better than Setcpu

Thanks, that helped. But, while installing HTC sense 5.0 on HTC Explorer, the instructions said:

What does he mean by "create 2 Sd-Ext Partitions ext4/ext3 on your sd-card"?
I create 1GB sd-ext partition, what about the 2nd partition? What is 2nd Partition and how to assign 1GB space to it? :confused:. I am using TWRP Recovery 2.6.3.0.

Simply use minitool or any partition wizard..

Connect your card through a card reader.. Open the wizard..

Select your card you can see the drive letter of it..

Select that drive delete it..

Now create the a new partition of 1gb ext2/ext4 for 1st partition.

same step for 2nd partiton..

Then remaining format it as fat32.. You will get two partitions..

You'll need 2 sdext partitions because one of the partitions will be used as SD-SYSTEM and the other would be used as SD-DATA. Most of the apps and data will be stored on these partitions instead of the internal memory on our pico which is very small. This way, you won't need any memory increasing scripts and will have plenty of space for apps. If you have enough space, you can even flash full GAPPS.

1.Open MiniTool. Locate your SDcard on the list.
2.Right-click and delete. Right-click again and create.
3.Create two partitions of atleast 1GB each, type primary (not logical), and file system ext4/ext3 (ext4 recommended).
4.Use all of the remaining space to create another partition with file system FAT32, type primary.
5.Apply.

This completely solves my problem. Thanks, #4 & #5. :)

Minitool partition wizard is a good choice to you. You can resize a partition and then there is an unallocated space, right click to choose Create Partition. In the window, you can decide the partition label, drive letter, files system and the partition size. For the 2nd partition, you can do the same operation, or you can use Split Partition function, which can take space from one partition to create another new partition. It is very easy to operate and efficient.
