Bro. its so simple.
Jst follow my steps sequencially-:
1.Backup your SD card contents to your PC.
2.Install Mini Partition Tool to partition your Card(Use google to search the software)
3.Make two partion of the SD card,First is for your Music,Videos,pictures files to be saved that would be FAT 32 (Primary Partition)....Size would be prefferable.
4.The second partition would be of Min. 200 MB of Ext.3(Also Primay Partition),for your app's.
5.Apply these aprtitions.
6.After this copy your app2sd file on your SD card Fat32 partiton.
7.Unplugg the device,and boot-up to xRecovery and Select "Install Custom",Select the App2sd file.
8.Reboot will take more than 10 Min.

Alright you'll be needing rooted phone, for that you can use z4root(i'll attach the download link)
Step I : Firstly root your device using z4root or anyother way you prefer, as it is for noobs I would suggest using z4root.
Step II : Now u need to make two partiton on your memory card, i would suggest you to bak up all your data before starting
Step III : Downlaod Mini Tools Partition Wizard(i'll attach the link)
Step IV : Run the .exe file and mount your SD card on the computer, now open Mini Too s wizard and right click on removable disk then select delete partition(make sure you've backed up your data).
Step V : Right click on the removable disk, select create partition, make the file system as FAT and make it primary, assign any volume label and adjust size of the label according to your need(this will be your partition for normal storage)
Step VI : Right click on the removable disk, select create partition, make the file system as FAT32 and make it primary too, assign any volume label and leave the size of label untouched(this will be your partition for APP storage)
Step VII : Mount the SD card on the device, give a reboot. (dont be bothered about any "blank SD card errors etc reboot will fix 'em)
Step VIII : Now you've 2nd partition on your SD card, now open market download Links2SD application, open app and grant it root privelages and it'll ask for a reboot, give a reboot and now u can select apps and link them to the second partition of your SD card.

my internal memory have about 40mb left and is startting to get low ..
so is there a way to increase it ? i use tita backup to move apps but there still traces of bytes left ...i have about 60apps / games and themes ...so any help?

link2sd needs partition sd card yes? how do i partition it by the way?
Flash cm7 and use s2e ..after that ull be trying to find apps to fill the memory but u will never be able to fill it cause even if u have 130apps (like i had) it uses ONLY 50 MB ..reamaning goes to sd ext..u can partition ur sd card using CWM5/CWM4...

Link2SD:
What is needed:
- Root Permission
- The second partition on the SD Card, and both MUST PRIMARY
The first partition is the default storage of data on the SDcard. The second partition (which will be created) is a partition for storage applications for Link2sd.
download "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" on the PC, then plug the sdcard in the PC (u can directly use the phone, or card reader). by using this program, agan no need to format, partition, or delete data in the beginning, to create a new partition.
Install and open minitool, select the drive which will be partitioned sdcard, select resize the unallocated area. for PRIMARY, NOT logical. Free partition size is up. klo above 2GB FAT32 file system should pake. FAT32 support is generally on all phones. APPLY, and then turn on the phone.
(for more secure data back up anyway in the SD Card)
- Install Link2sd, have mounted, select FAT32, restart again and Tada!! Applications can be moved to SD, ga who need to use complicated script
Good luck. and must have successfully ...
Good Tutorial !

is there a difference between s2e and apps2sd? i used link2sd before on my old w8 (forgot how to partition now ) but it's quite unstable since apps constantly force crahses
oh oh ! can i partition using cwm ? like this
http://acetips.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/how-to-partition-your-sd-card/
i don't dare to use yet since i fear it will screw my phone
Do NOT use ClockWorkMod !!!
You can flash ClockWorkMod Recovery ,from where you can partition your Sd Card.
For cwm recovery there is no root needed,just flash it from stock recovery.
I hope that helped
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
oh ok then so i reboot to cwm then partition?
Yes, under the "advanced" tab
Select the Size of your 2nd Partition and 0mb for cache (not needed)
Remember that all your data from SD Card will be deleted !
Then reboot your Phone and start link2SD. When you´re asked about 2nd partition format, choose ext2 (I hope, I didn´t use this for ages!) If you get an error, it was the wrong format
Link2SD will ask you for a reboot and after that you can start to move your apps.
One Question, the build-in option to move apps is not enough ? I am not using so many apps, so I really don´t know.
Greetings!
Hi Guys,
i've got a question:
I tried to set up an ext-Partition for Apps2SD, but everytime i did the partition (ext2, 3 or 4) my device won't mount my sdcard and keeps telling me it's broken until i format it again.
I used "Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition" for Windows (7).
My Phone is an SK17i with Hybrom v16 and krsh 3.0
I hope you can help me.

Hello
The following guide will explain how to free your File System root partition by moving most of your apps/games to a new partition on your external SD Card.
I recommend to use at least a Class-10 SD-HC SD Card.
I've checked the following on my ZTE Nubia Z7 Mini, but AFAIK it should be working with all Z7's versions.
(please report if you can... )
IMPORTANT!
NEVER use custom TWRP recovery ver 2.8.1 (maybe 2.8.0.... latest 2.8.3) for re-partition microSD card in this phone!
When you try to perform this operation will be erase INTERNAL phone memory instead mircoSD, GPT partition table will be damaged and your's device turn into a Hard brick.
If you have not made a backup EFS+NV of your device, it may happen that it is impossible to recover and it will turn into iPods
Thank you @Harwest
1. Backup your 64gb SD card to PC.
2. Via PC - use MiniTool Partition Wizard to create 2 partitions on your SD card.
one partition should be formatted as exFat and will be your data partition (and so will be the largest!)
second directory should be EXT4 and will be your new system partition (all apps will be installed to this partition-will see that later)
my settings are - 54gb for exFAT partition 1, and the rest for the EXT4 partition.
3. after you've done all partitioning etc, insert the SD card to your phone.
4. go to Settings --> About Phone --> Storage --> Choose Primary Storage --> SD CARD
5. restart your phone.
6. Install "Link2SD" from Google Play.
7. when you first open the App, it will ask you which type of 2nd partition you have, choose EXT4, afterwards restart phone (it will ask you to do so).
8. open Link2SD and filter the list by "ON INTERNAL" and start moving applications by choosing the app you want to move and choose "Create Link". now make sure you check all 3 checkboxes (or 4 if you have the paid version on L2SD).
you'll see that your original system partition is getting bigger! that's all
Enjoy!
Thank for this info
tnx for the info.
i used a slightly different approach:
1. repartion the internal sdcard. (enlarged the 'userdata' partition to 11.7GB, shrunk the 'grow' (internal storage) partition to 1GB).
2. go to Settings --> About Phone --> Storage --> Choose Primary Storage --> SD CARD (== external sdcard)
so apps have 11.7GB, external storage is the full size of de sdcard (here 64GB).
done.

Per request a tutorial:
WARNING: DANGEROUS.
you can brick your device!
I do not know if this tutorial works with a rom other than stock (or stock based; i.e.: cuoco92). Because of the built in option to set external sd as primary storage. The partition tool should work on all z7 mini and z7 max.
What will this tutorial do?
Repartition tool:
it will :
backup your partitions (in a backup folder).
change the 'userdata' partition size to the given value
change the 'storage' (called: 'grow') partition (internal sd / sdcard0) to the size left on the internal sd.
i.e.: default 'userdata' = 2GB, 'storage' = 10GB, total 12GB. When giving 11GB to the repartition tool the new layout will be: 'userdata' 11GB, 'storage' 1GB, total 12GB.
Change primary storage in ROM:
The setting 'change primary storage to SD card will change symlinks in the rom from /storage/sdcard0 to /storage/sdcard1. Result is that every app in the rom thinks sdcard1 is sdcard0.
I do not know if other roms (i.e.: Mokee / CM11) have this built in option.
The tutorial:
Preparations:
MAKE A BACKUP OF EVERYTHING AND COPY TO A COMPUTER (or external SD).
Internal storage will be backuped by the tool (and restored). But for performance empty it.
external storage will not be emptied (make a backup to be safe).
clean install is highly recommended, but not necessary.
installed rom will NOT be wiped. You can boot normally after the procedure.
CWM recovery mandatory.
adb access to the phone (so install drivers etc).
Step1: Using the resize tool (resizeZ7_1024.Rayures.v01.zip):
Repartition Internal SD (z7 Mini and z7 Max):
reboot phone to recovery
i.e.: "adb reboot recovery"
unzip the zip
run RUN.bat
or: open 'command window' in the folder and run RUN.bat
select 1 (backup - delete - rebuild)
give size for 'userdata' partition
(Z7 mini: max = 11GB). 12GB gives no usable partition. 1GB internal data partition left, which i think is needed
done
notes:
just always use the 1 option and MAKE SURE the backup has been created! When the backup is missing or broken you WILL brick.
this thread also has a lot about the partition tool, use the search.
Step2: Set external SD as primary
Boot phone.
Go to: Settings --> About Phone --> Storage --> Choose Primary Storage --> SD CARD
reboot phone
done
The tool: resizeZ7_1024.Rayures.v01.zip (5.48 MB):
original from official nubia forum:
http://bbs.nubia.cn/
my changes:
-translated to English
-enhanced recognition of phone model
-added a 'partition info' option (to see the current partition layout)
tnx to:
-all the xda people who already used the tool in: <thread>
-original dev of the tool
Have an addition to this tutorial ? please do so via PM.

Yea, I know that way , but I think it's more risky than my method...
repartitioning your internal memory can cause some trouble later on upgrades etc...
but thanks anyway, If you can, post a detailed guide so people can use your method also. :good:

Best & safe method for repartition microSD card:
Use a laptop/computer with a card reader and software like as "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" (freeware) http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
Insert to cardreader with your's sdcard, run "Partition Wizard", select existing partition on sdcard and press "Resize/Move".
Resize partition so that the end is left free space volume approx 1....2....3Gb (as you wish).
After that select free space and press "Create", create new primary partition, format EXT2 or EXT3.
Press "Apply" for start all process.
Resize procedure of existing partition is safe, nothing is lost. But just in case you can pray, drink or smoke:laugh:
Im struggling with this, although seems easier, i think I am doing something wrong.

you don't need to struggle..
Just do the safe method on post #1, follow exactly the steps I wrote and you'll be OK.
if you have any specific question please post it here. :good:
I've used the ripartition method wit an EXT4 and a exFat on my 32 gb memory.
Link2SD goes very well also with the CM12 rom.
Just few questions ...
1 - Should I format the entire system for a clean reinstall of the ROM, what would happened to the programs in ext4 partition? Should I've to re-install them or they remain stored or should I do some other action?
2 - If I'll change memory ... I've to copy the program with linux, right?

1. I think the best way is to use MODACO titanium backup and after rom is replaced, to restore the apps.
other method is to use Link2SD to move the apps back to phone memory (not all of them..) and then use TB same as above...
2. you can just use any partition manager software in order to copy the partitions as it. try to use Gparted live, I think it's the most clean way..
please report back what was working best for you
thanks!
