How did u partition it? Via CWM ?
If u did via CWM, it will be ext3

Try supersu app.

i used mini tool to create ext partition and swap partition swapper2 has linked to my swap partition but link2sd wont mount the ext partotion. ive reformated it with all the formats but none of them work and ive tried to mount sdext in cwm mounts & storage but it says error mounting sdext aswell. im out of ideas

just double check n make sure all ur partition is in primary partition

In mini tool partition,
First create the main storage
second should be ext
Third is swap
U partitioned like above bro?

yep, but i dont creat swap partition coz i dont use it. but make sure fisrt partition (fat) n second parttion (ext) both are primary not extended or logical partition.
just to make sure if u dont have any importand files in ur fat partition or maybe back it up first then re partition all over again n choose primary not logical

what you need to do it first backup all your data on your system.. then format the memory card(check to make it fat32)... then create the partation..copy back your data to memory card back again... hope this will work for you
here is the full tutorial of how to use link2sd card and mini tools..

[Q]Link2SD and CM7 KANG = ??

Following from this thread, I finally partitioned my sd card and had link2sd installed in my ace.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326
I moved my apps using apps2sd. I found out there are some remaining data in the phone. Are those data : dalvik-cache (.dex) file and lib files (.so) ? Or those are the game saves data. So, if i use Link2SD, i can completely move those data to sd?
It shows an error when I try to start it.. I could not link any of the apps.

my 2nd partition is on fat32
did u create both partition as primary?
btw i still think link2sd is buggy and annoying. at least in my experience. sometimes it fails to mount partition during booting and just prompt to reboot, or the moved app wouldnt even show in app drawer.
A2SD works perfectly for me.. There aren't many functions as Link2SD but it does the job..

Yes, both are primary as guided from the thread. :S
So any other than link2sd that can fully move an apps including it's data etc. My internal memory getting full soon.
Pahan88, is App2SD free same thing as A2SD?
here if we said a2sd or app2sd it generally means dartremore a2sd. u need to be rooted, and if ur on gingerbread u need to use kernel which support init.d script which is ketut's cfroot kernel. darktremore a2sd can move apps, data and dalvik cache to sdcard
edited: sorry, just realize ur thread title said cm7 kang. ur already rooted and using cfroot. u just need to flash darktremore a2sd via recovery
Thanks.. Do you mind showing me the right thread? I did a search and there are so many threads about it.. I dont even know which one is the right one.
partition ur sdcard with two partition, both primary. 1st partition as fat32 and 2nd partition as ext2/ext3/ext4
get the flashable zip file from its thread here
put it in sdcard, boot into cwm and choose to mount system and mount data.
choose to install zip from sdcard and flash the earlier zip file.
get terminal emulator from market, open it and do
Code:
su
a2sd reinstall
and ur phone will reboot.
when it boot up, open terminal again and do
Code:
su
a2sd cachesdreset
to move dalvik cache to sdcard, or
Code:
su
a2sd datasd
to move data to sdcard
Hi, I got a new sd card 4gb. But I partitioned using CWM. I checked through MiniTool Partition Wizard, it didnt show any 2nd partition but it did shows reduced MB. Partition via CWM is ok?
And no-one points the poor guy to s2e
Hi there. I saw the information there. Sounds so simple.. Is there anything I should know before I try it? And im not a guy btw.. THanks ^^

Sorry, but Yea its that simple But if your a frequent backup/restorer kind of person, using advanced mode may get very confusing and you will get force closes as it brings anything you moved to SD-EXT. Don't worry about the Cache size and ext4 journaling in the settings.
to use link2sd with CM7 KANG rom .just mount the second partition as ext3 format.link2sd will work.

[Q] SDcard won't be recognized after Partition

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

a2sd and swap on ICS

Can anyone help me about find the solution for enabling ext4 and swap partition in ICS roms.
on GB i flash script by darktermor and then my swap partition and ext4 partition works perfectly and after installing apps,they move automatically to ext partition.
But in ICS this script doesnt work and when I install link2sd it ask about my partition but it moves my apps to android.secure not ext partition and my swap partition doesnt work.
I tried mesa kernel,kernel panic,but in terminal my swap partition is 0 .
Can you help me please
Thing is, darktremore a2sd doesnt work well with ics/jb. Try mount2sd script, can mount swap partition too.

thank you,I installed from this topic but still it doesnt work
Code:

it will work. i'm using it.
My phone is xperia mini pro
with kernel panic.
Can I use your kernel will it enable this ?
Or it is because of my rom that it cant support this ?
mount2sd need a type of sysinit that invoke init.d script after boot, and my kernel does support it.
just make sure u create partition correctly eg:
1st partition as fat32, primary. this is for usual sdcard files.
2nd partition as ext2/3/4, primary, this is for mount2sd use for moving dalvik, apps, apps data etc.
3rd partition swap.
I use swap and ext partition on GB as well and had no problem.
but now even use mesa but it cant mount my sd card i install both aroma installer and legacy install of mount2sd script but it doesnt work.

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

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.

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

[Q] Error: mounting sd/ext

I have rooted my HTC Explorer and flashed it with Superuser Rom.
Now i want to flash my device with ics rom.
But it requires sd/ext partition.
I have created one worth 1.27 gb on my 8gb SD card with FAT32 partition.
Link2sd works fine with this sd/ext partition.
But when i try mounting sd/ext from recovery it diplays an error as
Error: Mounting Sd/ext
I have tried with all types of partitions (Ext 2/3/4)
But Ext 2/3/4 is not supported on my device (says Link2SD)
So i have to stick with FAT32
that 2nd partition i created with MiniTool works as a charm with Link2SD (everything works fine)
Help me guys !!!

yeah for sense 4.0 you need to mount SD-ext partition from recovery.
I already tried formatting from recovery but it never worked out for me
factory reset should have done the same.

Yes. You can merge the ext partition using MiniTool ...
But why do you wanna do that ? Pico is short of internal memory and you will need sd-ext to increase your internal memory.
