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 ...
Well,after partitioning it,connect it to a pc and open mini tool partition wizard.If it shows that you have a sd-ext partition,then theres a partition in your sd,no doubt.If Link2SD still shows that it cant mount sd-ext,then you are a victim of that bug.I get the same error when i try to use link2sd too.Use S2E instead
Ok i will try..

If you are using cm7,then use S2E.Its better,otherwise,you need to flash DTA2SD...

Hello,
i am using coder rom v1 with a2sd enabled.i have first created a 500 mb ext2 primary partition and then created a FAT32 primary partition with the rest of the space.I flashed coderom then enabled darktremor a2sd.Inside the phone i can use both the partitions.When i try to connect the phone using the usb mode FAT32 partition is not mounting and is showing only format disk command since the only parition detected is ext2.Also inside the recovery of the phone when trying to execute apply update from sdcard i am unable to list the sdcard contents.please help me....
You must create the fat32 partition first before ext2 or ext4.
That way your pc can detect the fat32.

Thats the problem when using darktremore a2sd with first partition as ext2/3/4, ur windows pc wouldnt detect it and recovery cannot mount it. My advice, use codenexus because it uses a2sd on second partition

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?
Look for "Link2Sd" in the market that's the easiest way I think.

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

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

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!
Sorry if i sound like a noob but can i take advantage of the ext3 partition on my SD using this version of CM?
I partitioned my SD using clockworkmod, which is why it's ext3.
only app i've tried is Link2SD but when i tell it there is an ext3 partition on the card it creates a script and asks me to reboot.
Once that's done and i access the app again it goes through the same motions and informs me that - "if im seeing this message then the partition is unable to be mounted during boot"
Appreciate any help
Here's a quick way to install Link2sd.
I preassume that your device is rooted and your sdcard data is backed up.I think,the mount script didn't work because of inappropriate attributes..Ok heres,how i installed Link2sd...
1.First of all download and install MiniTool Partition Wizard in your windows PC.
Connect your handset to the PC via USB.
2.Launch MiniTool Partition,you should see your SDcard mentioned in the list Under Disk 2 probably.
3.Right click your SDcard mentioned in the list, press "Move/Resize Partition"
4.In the Partition size,allocate bigger chunk of partition for primary partition.This is the partition your phone will access for general purpose.Say you allocate 7GB from your 8GB memory card.
Click OK.
5.Now Under disk 2. you will see and unpartitioned space of about 1GB.This partition will be used by link2sd.You may allocate your sdcard as you may wish.
6.Right click the upartitioned space to create a new partition under "Create As".If a warning popup asks for permission click YES.
7.Under New window Create As,choose "Primary".For File System type choose 'FAT32'.though you may choose among ext3 or ext4,either is supported by link2sd.NTFS is not supported by Link2sd or android OS.For partition size take whole unallocated space.Click on OK
8.Click Apply button<upper left corner in the screen>.
9.Restart your phone.
Again use your Link2sd app to create mount script.Now your app should work fine.
Don't forget to hit THANKS if i helped you.
I would not suggest you to create the Link2sd partition as a FAT32 one: this way when you will connect your phone to a PC through the USB cable Windows will mount all the 2 partitions automatically (with all negative consequences you can imagine); this issue will not happen on Linux, however; while with the Link2sd partition formatted as extX you will be able to use your linked apps while the phone is connected to your PC and the first partition is mounted, it doesn't matter if you are on Linux or Windows (tested )
Regarding your problem: try to tell the Link2sd script activator that your partition is an ext4 and see if it works.. I hope so, anyway let us know..
@brainvision
yeah thanks,extX would be better..bt i think windows doesn't mount two sdcard Fat32 partition at a time.i may be wrong in this term, bt sometime back,when i used to use rooted android 2.1,windows would mount only my 1st primary partition of sdcard..however under ubuntu..both partition would load bt without affecting the phone apps.

oh sorry I'm not a winZoZZ user since a lot of time!! I'm a slacker now!!
Regarding Linx OS: I set up my Slackware so that it doesn't auto mount external disk, so i can plug in the phone and activate the USB Mass storage without still mounting it: this way I can mount only the first partition; but in a auto-mount situation I fear that the the phone apps would be affected by USB Mass storage activation!
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.

How did you partition your SD card? What program did you use, what type of partition is it, and how is it formatted?

I have used clockwork mod recovery 5.0.2.7 I guess I have partitioned my sdcard i.e. 512mb ext

I believe CWM defaults to ext4. If you didn't make any other partitions, then your SD card partition structure should be as follows now:
/mnt/sdcard, FAT, primary
/sdext, ext4, primary
Try using link2sd's menu to recreate mount scripts, & choose ext4. Also, make sure you're still rooted properly, and still have expected su access.

I recollect facing the same problem.I guess the problem isn't with link2sd its got to to do with the fact that the stock kernel doesn't support ext partition try flashing a custom kernel that supports ext partition.

Ah, good catch! I didn't notice that.
If you don't want to flash a new ROM, you can format the 2nd partition as FAT, and link2sd has the option to mount that the same way as others.

Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
I don't understand. Do you want to keep stock, or flash a custom ROM? If all you want is to use link2sd, you shouldn't need to flash anything.

Backup your sd card on PC.
Do factory reset
Re partition ur sd card in cwm
Start phone & install link2sd before any other application
Use ext4
If ur kernel doesnt support ext 4
Partition ur card on PC using some partitioning software. use ext2 in this case. And try link2 sd now
Pls let me know if this helps
