Root [ROM] CTMod 3.80 (04/06/13)

I have been running CTmod on my primary phone since, roughly, 2013. I had never attempted to partition its SDcard until this year, however.

Is it possible to partition the card, and have the phone use that 4096MB ext 4 partition as part of its internal memory, without having to reinstall all the apps on the phone before partitioning the SDcard?

I understand the partitioning process will erase the card. I partitioned the card via "Recovery" mode and simply copied the pre-partionining (pre-formatting) contents of the card, which I had backed up, back onto the card after it had been partitioned.

Similarly, I was expecting to just use the "Recovery" mode backup I made before I partitioned the SDcard to restore the phone and have it use the new partition on the SDcard as Internal memory. I have not been able to successfully do that, however; it appears that I must reinstall all the apps and set phone up all over again for it to use the new partition? ??
