also, follow the [2.3] link in my signature to find more info on link2sd
PM me if you need more help
EDIT, make sure your second partition is at the end of the sd card, not the begining,
Also, just download instal-recovery2.sh from the link above and put it into system/etc and changer permissions to

Link2sd was also working fine until i updated it, then it happened the same problem he mentioned in his post. To be more specific, was after reboot that i noticed that problem, almost all my apps were missing (all that were linked didnt showed in app drawer), in link2sd was that mount error. Just to be sure, i made a clean rom install on the phone, installed link2sd, rebooted to install/detect the 2nd partition, no problems so far, installed an app, linked it, the app was working so the linking worked. Rebooted the phone, after that reboot, the mount problem attacked again. after everytime i rebooted, link2sd got the same error again and again, i tryed with boot recovery formating and with a PC partition formating tool. I had the previous version backuped, installed it and problems disappeared. Some guys complained about the same in a portuguese forum. the conclusion they reached was when link2sd programmer(s) fixed the 2nd partition bug for some devices, some others started to have that problem.

hi
i recently flashed the CyanogenMod 7 beta3 found here
I have an issue with my apps, prob. due to the a2sd stuff. i can't see most of my app's widgets, including the messaging widget. maximum annoyance!! when i put other apps such as facebook in the phone memory, the widget appears in the selection screen, but the messaging app was and is in the phone memory all the time..
HELP WILL BE EXTREMELY APPRETIATED
also, i'm planning to make a vid about flashing the cyanogenmod rom to a phone. who's with me!
i'm having problems with darktremor's a2sd too, it seems to be that it's unable to mount/recognize /sd-ext... i've just backed up with TB, re-partitioned and wiped everything, let's see if a fresh flash enables CM 7 b3/a2sd to recognize /sd-ext -.-"
it keeps gettin stuck at the cyanogenmod animation... it's getting me mad!
there was no way for me to get dt's a2sd working on cm7b3... -.-"

Look at the CM7 thread, in the first post is the solution to your problem, you just need to flash a .zip before flashing CM7..

I think it is native to the system, at least you are able to move apps..
Correct me if i'm wrong
Am I the only one that the choise of the keybord is not stored between reboots?? can someone test please?
(using smartkeyboard pro)
Moved the app to phone memory and worked fine, my bad!
Well, these actions may help you guys "am not sure":
-When installing a widget in CM7, never move it to SD card, it will be only recognized when it's located at phone memory.
-When installing CM7 itself, don't partition your SDcard, just format it using PC or any utility and install CM7 using recovery "so it won't stuck".
-if the stuck thing still happening, download from CM7 topic a Wiper file which will wipe your system setting if wiping is not working on your O1.

I did the partition but flashed the Wiper file, worket fine!
Is thera any way to flash CM7beta4(when it's released) and keep all the apps and configs?
EDIT: Sorry, wrong thread.
When i connect the phone to USB, the widget crash, and also the apps i have to move it to SD because they installing in the phone memory. Dont recognize the Partition.
Sorry for my English.
question
my messaging app (stock) is in my memory, and i can access it, but i cannot access the messaging widget. CAN ANYONE HELP?
I'm not that noob, I can follow instructions, I erased /system using adb, and flashed cm7 many times, partitioning (needs to be done to get darktremor's a2sd working) and flashing a2sd every time, it's just that this time just didn't work... I flashed again doing a "fresh install" and got cm7 to load, but there's no way to get a2sd working... Using "native" cm7's a2sd doesn't just move apps to fat32 partition?

If you already have cm7 on the device, flashing the rom's zip file from recovery should be enough ;-)

Hello!
My GT-i9100T is my first android phone, I've been using for two months and I love it. This afternoon I decided to root my phone (I have never rooted or installed a custom ROM on this phone before) using this method, and I downloaded all the files and followed all instructions. When I selected 'apply update from external storage' it took a little while and gave me this error: 'E:unable to mount /sdcard (No such file or Directory)'.
I searched online but I couldn't find anything helpful but I did factory reset my phone and yet it still didn't work. Can anyone help me?

i think u should have put the files in ur internal sdcard not external, please check by doing so and see
ps - alternatively u can put the file's in ur cache folder and select 2 install the same from cache in recovery and see
Thanks for the swift reply!
I don't have an external SD card and I've never used one.
EDIT: I can't do that because the cache folder is inaccessible.

then try the alternative ie cache folder option and see, since the cwm .zip does require an extsd since thats the one giving u the error while updating if i am correct

You need a physical external sdcard in order for this to work.
If you're in need of root just flash a CF-Root kernel..

Why? And you didn't exactly help by giving him the wrong information. Quite the opposite in fact. On the plus side, you've been thanked not once, but twice for giving that wrong information. Excellent.
Hello everyone,
I've (CF) rooted my S3 only to move app data to my extSD card. The official stock firmware (JB 4.1.1) is still on it, and i would like to keep it that way (serves me good). I've tried directory bind and Link2SD.
Both of the apps don't work (or i'm to much of a noob to get it going)!
Directory bind just moves files from one location, but when i start the app, it gives me a error (in this case, tomtom).
Also the alternative management options in this app, dont give me tools to "bind".
Link2SD makes links (on the second partition of the ext.sd) but doesn't want to move the app data to the first partition of the ext.sd The error is "insufficient storage space", but there is over 27gb of (fat32) free space. The second extsd partition is 2gb of ext4.
Am I doing something wrong, or is the official stock FW just not up to the task?
Greetings, RedKingCrab
apps to ext sd
Ho Bro,
i have the same problem, but as i know this is some new bull**** in the System or maybe just on Samsung devices.
The only app wich is more ore less useful is the "GL to SD"..

Thanks for the tip!
It seems that some versions are not well supported yet. Maybe in a couple of monts it will. I'll try again later on, including GL to SD.
So i've unrooted my S3 allready, because rooting it gave me troubles installing manual apps!
If I manualy wanted to install a apk file, i got an error (not enough memory )

Did you manage to figure this out?
Were you creating both partitions as primary?
What app did you wind up using: Link2SD or GLtoSD?

Sorry bro, didn't get it to work on stock fw.
Because of time issues i haven't been able to figure this problem out. I've unrooted the phone and flashed back with original stock.
Maybe its the way you created your partitions.

Hello there guys so I'm here because I did a very silly mistake related to the CWM for the Galaxy Player 4.2 (Or at least that's what I think I did ).
Related to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39344227
Anyway I'm not familiar with CWM since the Galaxy Player 4.2 is my first Android device ( And is not like the device has been easy on us right ), my device is rooted and the problem is that I already got the Kernel on my device and as expected I'm without WiFi. How can I configure the CWM Recovery without WiFi, if not, how can I get WiFi back?.
Sorry for bothering with dummy questions/mistakes and thanks in advance .

Can I flash the fix without CWM, for example with Odin?. I'm having a really hard time here, since I was dumb enough to install the Kernel without configuring the CWM before or at least making sure I could do it without the WiFi. Now the problem is when I want to flash with Rom Manager it says I need the recovery since I'm not a premium but again in order to get the recovery I need WiFi internet :/.

Wow it's the first time I see somebody having more problems with CWM than odin (no offense). Actually all you need to do is to put the patch into your device and then boot into CWM. Once into CWM, go into install zip from sdcard, then chose zip from sdcard and chose your patch zip. Once you choose it, you will see a bunch of no and one yes, check yes and it will patch it. Once it's done, reboot your device.
Hope it helps.
I'd like to know if flashing the kernel with CWM will make loose data, apps and preferences ? Thanks.

You're right, it works fine ! Now I have a question : I tried a backup in CWM, system and data have been backed up, but neither applications nor cache.
I got the following error messages :
Code:
No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage.
Backing up cache...
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Any idea ?

/sdcard/.android_secure is the directory of the download of big apps (for example apps like nova or subway surfers I think) Cache has been backed up. Don't worry, all your things has been backed up.

Man, I feel so stupid right now . I managed to run the CWM boot now when I try to install the zip the update. Says:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
Maybe I should tell you everything I did just in case.
I had the device already rooted.
Flashed the kernel
Installed the CWM v5.0.2.7
Transfered the Fix zip to sdcard
then I did everything you said and also tried to disable verification and still failed.
Sorry to be bothering U_U.
Ok I finally fixed everything... It was my external sd after all, it wasn't functioning properly. Tried with another Sd card and now it's working. Thanks you for your patience and help

No any work around found. Tryied all workaround like installing init.d toggler also no use. So i, flash my cm11 backup. Using cm11 now. (between i dont like lollipop visuals and stock rom is no extra features, not even xposed will work so i use cm12 only when arrive)
After flashing Cm11 i found on the Web that in twrp recovery go to advanced and select fix permission and try mounting link2sd but before you do take full nandroid backup.. If brick happens....

I just installed the latest link2sd update. It first shows partition not mounted then shows an error message and shows the option to recreate mount scripts or quick reboot because the mount script is loaded after system startup and after quick reboot second partition is really mounted. I think after every reboot this quick reboot is necessary , but at least its now working.
And apps2sd is working for all the apps.

What partition you using? .,ext2, ext3, ext4,fat32?
Please tell how you mountend step by step
Are you able to link apps?
I think i found the error guys the problem related to lollipop is older version of lollipop.
By version 4.0 this problem vas solved.. .. Anyone plz try and reportback.. ..
It still doesn't automatically mount the second partition. Boots up, shows the error, after quick reboot, it then starts working. I guess init.d scripts aren't working at all. They are not at all mounted at boot no matter what. Tried init.d toggler, enabler and what not, nothing works at all. Problem is with lollipop probably.

I am using ext4 . And yes I can link apps now. I didn't do anything special. Its just like after booting once it needs to quick reboot once again to mount the second partition and then the linked apps appear. Its still not perfect but its working. I would not suggest to link any important apps , I am only linking games and theme apks etc. so that if something goes wrong it doesn't matter.

Thanks but I dont think it's gonna work. Problem is not with permissions, problem is that init.d scripts are simply not run at boot at all and until and unless tht happens, nothing can be done. I used a test script which supposed to run at boot but it simply didn't run. I dont know whats going wrong with lollipop. I hope some senior member throws some light upon this issue and I hope the creator of link2sd is also listening.
[solved]
I confirmed that in lollipop build link2sd v4.0 released yesterday only work..
But one roblem there that after reboot u have to quick reboot everytime. This is I think bug in the init.d of the ROM not the link2sd fault...
It's up to mfn subscribers to report this bug as soon to make sure final build will come buggless........
If I am wrong..correct me.

I tried with ext4.. On thing is after restart dont creat another mount script.. simply go to reboot and chose quick reboot. .. .
But my phone restarts itself outta nowhere in every ROM! There was no Xposed module installed nor any other apps who want root permissions (I installed fresh KitKat 4.4.4 but still)
My main point is, it doesn't soft reboot, which makes all linked apps disappear after booting up. Any fix for this? (My phone was fell on the floor once which made it's screen cracked and I can't hear any audio anymore. I put the new screen but... :/ I don't think it'll be related to all of sudden reboots)
