Has anyone tried this app for Data2SD?
I stumbled upon this app while taking a stroll in the Market. And wanted to share it with y'all.
And, NO, I am not the dev of the app.
☞ The Dev is WindowsNT. ★
I would've tried it myself, but I already have Data2SD on my phone. It might help those who need Data2SD.

I 'm the dev.
I 'd be happy to answer any questions. The app simply creates and formats a storage in the SD, then links data from apps to that partition.

Does it do all this automatically.. I mean is there any special script or kernel required..?

1. You first use the "storage" menu to create a storage file (default 500MB) to be used as a partition. This partition is then automatically formatted to ext2 and mounted on the device startup.
2. From the "apps" menu you select an application and you have a list of the movable files.
3. You move/restore the files you wish.
Of course, don't do it for applications that start on boot, because the storage won't be mounted until the sd card is visible.

Is this only for 2.2 or can it be used for 2.1?
It can be used with 2.1 as it doesn't move the app itself (as the 2.2 system does), it moves the internal data in /data/data/<package>.
(requires root).
Glad to see the Dev himself here.
Hope many people benefit from this App.

Hell mate. I tried this with 500mb.
It stuck at 25mb which is like 5%
Then i formatted my sd card and tried with 50mb and again it stuck at 25mb.
Why is this problem occuring ? Also i have a 16gb sdhc which is class2
Hm, perhaps a problem with your SD card ?
Try this from shell:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdcard/rallsd/storage bs=1024 count=102400 (for 100MB).
this is similar to the command used by my app. If it also stucks, then it seems that there's an error with your SD card (chkdsk ?)
If it works, notify me and I 'll take a look.

This dint work too
Then, a storage card issue.
Perhaps a chkdsk would help.

I got the same issue also, thought it would be nice if the app was more transparent

Heh, reply to self, but I managed to work around the initial problem by simply deleting off the storage file, and creating a smaller (128mb) one
hi, i have 2 questions before ill give it a try.
is the app able to allocate free space from the sd card to create the partition
or do i have to wipe the sd completely before ?
will the app interfere in any way with already installed and normal moved apps ?
thanx in advanced, stavro
Doesn't work on my Archos 7ob eReader (Eclair 2.1). Once the second part created by Root All to SD, it doesn't recognize its job ! Worse, Windows can't at all read the SD Card.

in the meantime i am using link2sd on my rooted stock rom.
works perfect. i just had to create a second partition on my sd card
(no need to wipe the sd) and start the application. no "not enough memory" problems anymore

i used 340mb and it work perfect!
Three questions
I have three questions:
1) How can I reduce size of allocated memory space (I have mount 2 GB but now I see that is to much for my needs)
2) What happens with files that are on mounted partition if I uninstall Root all to SD app? How can I move it back to the original place?
Thanks in advance!
I'm using the resurrection mod and I love it except that I can't use the camera to save onto my ext SD card, I get unfortunately camera has stopped error. I know it's a problem with CM9 but is there a quick fix?

Make a folder on the extsd card having the same name as on you sd.... for example.. make a folder named android and then a folder named data inside it..and then a subfolder corresponding to the name you wana transfer
For example... if you want to put modern combat, place a folder called com.android.GAND.GloftM3SS inside extsd android/data ... then choose the default path and target so that the names are the same..it should look like this
And then do it

The target directory should be "/mnt/sdcard/" instead of "/sdcard/".
Also maybe it's better to bind specific directories in sdcard with specific directories in extSdCard, eg "/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.gameloft.android.SAMSUNG.GloftA7SS/" with say "/mnt/extSdCard/GameData/A7/", instead of binding the entire sdcard "/mnt/sdcard" with the entire extSdCard "/mnt/extSdCard/".
Links2sd worked for me make two primary fat32 partitions on the sd card then uses Links2sd to just link them mate Job done

Hey guy i have a problem with my (STORAGE). I am running Cynogenmod 10.2.0 (Version 4.3.1) Flashed through TWRP (Latest Version).
In (STORAGE) there are (4 Folders) named:
- emulated
- sdcard0
- sdcard1
- usbdisk0
In (EMULATED) there are 2 other folders named:
- legacy
- 0
In (SDCARD0) I can see my files but there are no files in (SDCARD1)
In the (LEGACY) folder there are the same files which were in sdcard0.
In the (0) folder there are same files but with a (DOWNLOAD) folder in it.
How can make it simple all like (SDCARD0) like it was in stock rom? Another problem is i cannot move files somtimes via PC or Any File Manager.
The file structure is different for 4.2 onwards. I believed u flashed it from a 4.1.2 rom? Maybe stock? Look at the link. It will describe everything. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274218

You wont be able to see it. Its on the internal SD.
If you are copying data files over i.e. a game or application data then its best to copy the files onto your external, then using your android file manager copy it over to your internal sd card... root directory:
android/obb
