Question [Q] Convert SDCard to EXT4?

Running the latest version of A2SD on my EVO Shift w/ the Supreme Sense ROM, but when I execute a2sd convert-ext4 I get "invalid command". Ideas?

Ok. I have TWRP Recovery installed. But I'm not clear on what to do in order to convert my SDCard...

[EDIT]Disregard above. I just did a nandroid backup including sd-ext. That *is* my SDCard, correct?

sd-ext is on the ext3 or ext4 partition
if youve never done it before. under twrp

Advanced Menu -> Partition SD Card -> Partition SD Card ->
from there set the size for your swap partition, and then the size for your sd ext partition- and it will let you choose ext3 or ext4

Appreciate your help, kendotelie! I'm completely ext4 now

Np. I'm glad I did. I love that my apps don't disappear when I mount the usb storage
