I'm not usually one to pump up a product, and I certainly understand the importance of learning how to enter simple code, but I thought the advantages of this outweighed the drawbacks.
There's a simple, free, totally legal program out there that can partition the SD card to ext4 no problem without deleting any data, eliminating the need to remove data and put it back on after the format. All you have to do is "resize" your SD card, leaving however much space you want for the ext4 partition at the end of the drive. You then right click the newly "unallocated" space, and choose to format it as an ext4. Once you choose to apply the changes, the program will take care of the rest, with no need to restart your computer or your phone.
The program is called MiniTool Partition Wizard: Home Edition, and can be found at Download.com at that link. They have upgraded versions of the program, which I can't imagine wouldn't be awesome, if you want to consider adding more features. Again, I wouldn't put this out there if it didn't make things immeasurably easier.
