ROEHSOFT PARTITION TOOL for android - review

ROEHSOFTPARTITION TOOL- link

Mini Partition magic on the pc/windows is the best example of an easy partitioner …
followed by the likes of Druid or suse linux partitioner …

however comparable AParted is (the tool installs the .so libraries necessary to understand a few file systems, automatically.. which ROEHSOFT PARTITION TOOL does not)

however on the usability side this tool looks better (still like a linux command shell tool, rather than a proper GUI interface “point and click”)...

the tool is usable for a guy like me who has in the past made many errors – formatting windows install when using Redhat Linux 3.2 …
resizing partitions in incompatible tools (bad tools don't understand the exact sizes as created “older linux and windows tools”)

several errors are to be noted however : the tool does not understand Guided Partition tables (my phone does)

you cannot use extended partitions … (many phones do not correctly support them for some stupid reason....)

for the record it would be better if the tool would install the .so libraries that AParted does, because this increases the available file systems compatible with your phone...

however the tool is way more usable (if not close to the point and click pro tools on the pc)

I find this tool useful because sometimes my SD card gets an error – the system immediately unmounts it & it is not usable without being fixed on windows... however this tool will allow me to repair the file system on the card (have a care not to click the format or delete partition option close by in the menu...

options to have your card auto fixed before mounting on boot would be useful....
bigger menu's would be useful, a manual for in experiences users – would be very useful to them...
a genuinely proper GUI look would improve the app, auto diagnostic would be useful...

however all that said – this is the best partitioner on android – simple ? No, usable yes...

as of the moment learning from the manuals of disk druid or Fdisk are your best options for understanding the basic use of this tool.

Thanks for creating the tool I like it, ps make a resizer in it – and create a manual, create a guided swap partition creation (with a normal partition + a mini swap partition 512mb to 4GB suggested for swap) since swap partition tool s suck with file swap (since file swap often errors your file system & thusly invalidating your mount of the drive “this has to be fixed in this tool like every day, so is a fail” also file creation for swap is 90% slower than a swap partition & does not create problems when you mount your phone to windows as external HDD..

yours kindly Experienced User.
