Hi, I recently installed and set up link2sd... and i have a few questions regarding this topic,
1) When I do a CWM backup does it backup my SD card second partition which contains the linked apps?
2) If i do a factory reset, will my apps that are linked to the SD card stay with the data since they are in the SD card?
3) If I format the normal partition of my SD card will it affect the second partition by any means?
Thanks...

1= MAKE ALL BACKUP DATA, ALL DATAS!
2= Yes, when u select factory reset, - wipe /data - /cache - /sd-ext - /sdcard/.android_secure
3= This is a good question, i dont know the answer i never do it...
EDIT: 3= No, is 2 partition if u format ONE the other be intact.

1.
When the mount script was successful than cwm will backup your 2nd partition.
3.
That depends how you format the card. Under windows it will kill your second partition.
Use a partition program like mini tool to format only your first partition.

Thanks guys for the reply!
But I still dont undertand the answer to the 2nd question. If we factory reset are apps that are linked to SD card gone or not? in other words does it format the second partition as well when carrying out a factory reset via CWM.

Don't do a factory reset...
just format cache and data and after you flash a ROM install link2sd, choose mount script, reboot and then do the following steps:
1. Menu > More > Relink all application files
2. Menu > More > relink library files
3. Menu > quick reboot
That's it! Now you have all your apps back!

Yes it is different.
Both move apps to the sd card, but
- Move to sd but them to the first partition
- link option in link2sd but them to the second partition.
Read the benefit moving to 2nd partition at link2sd homepage.

Some goes to your cache, dalvik-cache, messages, pretty much anything else. Some are on the system partition.
Also, regarding the Darktremor question, I'm one of those people who would say no. Actually, it's up to you. I just stick to FroYo's way of doing it, since I get to have more control and stuff over what goes to the SD and what stays in the phone memory (eg launchers and keyboards).

For 119mb? thats too much. i think its bcos the megatron rom installed eaten up my phone memory.

Thanks. but what does partition your sd card and wipe everything do? i always ignore that if want to flash things. btw im using megatron rom not void?
if your using megatron then darktremors a2sd is already part of the rom so u dnt need to install it. how many apps do u have anyways?

hmm but why some of my apps cant be put to sd card.
so far, i have installed 40 apps. only 15 of them cant be put in sd card. the rest in my sd card. but i had to delete 3 to free up my phone memory cause currently my phone memory is 19mb.
is there any other way? if there arent. then there is no point of having 8gb its better just to have 512mb sd card. grrrr
well,if you have not partitioned your sd....there's no way the app2sd included in megatron can work!!
ok,make a backup of your sd,then in recovery mode select
partition sdcard > partiton sd
then select
partition sdcard > SD:ext2 to ext3
then select
partition sdcard > SD:ext3 to ext4
now it should work.
if it doesn't,reflash your rom after a complete wipe (you'll lose all your data and settings)

Press the 3 key combo to get in (vol down + home + power) then use the volume buttons to get to USB-MS toggle. You use the menu button on the very right side of your phone to enter. It will allow you to copy the ROM from your pc to the sd card. Remember to exit USB mode afterwards.
Hi, i have a 8gb SDcard and since i'm gonna pass form CM7.1 to CM7.2 i wanted to ask you a few questions:
1) I have a 500mb sd ext partition, will a /format SDcard from CWM5 cancel the partition?
2) Since i'm using s2e, would you reccomend me to manually uninstall apps and s2e before wiping /data and formatting the SD card?
Thanks

No, your sd-ext parition will not be removed by formatting sdcard.
2. No it is not recommended, just backup your apps using Titanium backup and later you can restore them.
You need to partition only once unless you remove it manually.
/format sdcard will remove all data in fat32 partition
/format sd-ext will remove all data in ext partition
no need to do format sdcard for upgrading from 7.1 to 7.2. just do factory reset, delete cache, and dalvick cache.
no need to manually uninstall S2E.
Thanks guys!
I am not interested in restoring apps, i think i will make a clean install after flashing the rom.

So if i do factory reset and delete cache and dalvik this will remove also the apps that were moved to my sdcard with s2e?

AFAIK, S2E is handling the sd-ext. when do factory reset, delete cache, and dalvik, and then flash new rom, the sd-ext also being formated.
but some application folder (e.g yahoo, titanium) still exist in the sdcard.
if you want a clean install, you can format sdcard, but you must reload the flashable zip rom to the sd card again. Then do factory reset, delete cache, delete dalvik, and flash the new rom.

Thanks again! Well maybe i could format the SD after flashing the rom, couldn't i?
yes you can.
My experience, when I accidentaly format my SD card, I still can turn my Android on.
start up will recreate .android_secure, Android, and LOST.DIR again.
Guys...SD card is not associated with a rom -_- Remove your sd card and the phone works fine,right? android secure and lost.dir are directories that the android os makes on mounting of sd card..Try formatting your sd from the pc and and then insert it in the phone,now take it..you didnt reboot but you will still see android secure and lost.dir...Android makes them in between the mounting afaik.Flashing is not related with formatting sd card except choosing the zip file ofc

I browse with root explorer, and can not find /efs folder...
I have been flashing ROMs for a while, but noticed that even a full factory data wipe/reset in recovery still leaves a ton of crap left over from the previous program installations? I know there are settings in mounts and storage but I have only used format system before.
I want to really clean my phones internal memory without losing CWM or root.
Can someone please help?
I ran a few searches but could not find anything this specific?
Thanks.

Thanks. So from recovery, mounts and storage? Format SD?
Below is a copy/paste from one of the guides in my signature:
IF you are real serious, mount to your PC and move all contents of your internal/external cards on your pc.
*especially important if formatting both cards (see below)
If you want a REALLY CLEAN install (get rid of ALL the folders on your SD Cards) you could go to Menu > Settings and unmount and format both internal and external.

Hello guy's I have a bit stupid question,but I can't find how to format internal SD Card. Usually its by memory options but on this galaxy s3 I just can't find this option.
The phone uses a single partition for it's app/data storage and internal sdcard.
So all you can do is delete all the contents ("rm -rf /mnt/sdcard/*" in Terminal) but not format it.
If you are rooted and have CWM Recovery:
1. Boot into recovery
2. Mounts & storage
3. Format sdcard
+ This formats internal sdcard and the data stored there will be wiped +

Yes my phone rooted and have CWM so I gonna try your method.
I just tried format from CWM but i get this:
Formatting /sdcard...
Error mounting /sdcard!
Skipping format...
Done.
Any help?
As said your internal SDcard does not have it's own partition.
Please refer to my first post.
so i just can connect phone to pc open that storage and delete it manually? That's right?

Factory reset
is it safe to delete everything in the Internal Memory ? like all the folders? will they restore themself? cause if we have to choose what to delete, could take some time to work out what everything is.. games/ wallpapers, all adding folders into my internal memory.
Enter this code but ###WARNING### there will not be any other dialog or yes or no option, after you enter the last "#" it will start to factory reset. I tried it and it cleaned out my internal SD card.
*2767*3855# Full

Hello all,
few days ag I asked how to move internal apps to SD with Titanium Backups. Hitesh2626 recommeded me to use another method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082465 and I did so.
I've followed the guide but I did not succeed and I think I konw why: when I run CWM I don't have any /sd-ext partition.
I've followed all the steps under "Partition SD Card" , and I've used ext2 for formatting the new "memory" .
Anyone has had the same problem? Anyone could help me to find what am I doing wrong?
TIA,

Hello, first of all, thanks for your answer.
I guess you are talking about step 11, just after chossing the filesystem type:
10) First , Choose ext2. If it don't work then restart Link2SD and when then don't choose ext2 but ext4. ( Don't worry , it works )
11) It will say mount script created. Reboot your phone now.
Click to expand...

If so, yes, after chossing ext2 it does not complain. After reboot I see a second partition "/data/sdext2" : Total:0.89GB used 64,91MB Free: 850MB.
(is it ext2? If I plug the mobile into my linux box it says it's FAT32):
Code:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 1 13564453 6782226+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sdc2 13564454 15564799 1000173 83 Linux
Teh "problem" comes when doing "Placing the 2nd partition of SD Card to internal." :
18) Foramt /data /sd-ext /system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't have that "/sd-ext" partition, so I cannot format it.
But I've continued with the manual and tried to install an app (whatsapp). Now Link2sd says that the app has been linked, the /data/sdext2 partitoin now shows 85,97MB used but when I go to apps, manage apps, I see that my mem has decreased in ~ 20 MB . Is that the expected behaivour?
This I explain myself clear? if not, sorry but I'm newb to this world

Yes, that's how Link2SD works. It will link the data associated with the app to ext partition. If you go to the Settings> Storage, you will see that the total internal memory remains the same. But you can still see the available memory has increased due to linking to ext. To see how much of the ext partition is used, just go to Link2SD> Storage. Now if you are not satisfied with Link2SD, you can try the CronMod Unofficial. First backup all the SD Card data. Also if you want to try CronMod Unofficial after installing Link2SD, it better to flash the custom rom again after formatting /system and /data from CWM. This will get rid of all Link2SD files which can otherwise mess with CronMod Official. Now go to CWM> Format /sdcard. This will delete the ext partition. Now CWM> Advanced> Partition SD Card> Size (Max 1GB, anymore and system will lag)> Swap (0MB) and wait for it to say "Partitioning done". Now download and place CronMod Unofficial to SD Card. Now again go to CWM> Mounts & Storage> Mount /system then flash the Cronmod Unofficial zip from CWM and finally unmount /system. Reboot and you are good to go. Now go to Settings>Storage to see the newly increased internal memory. Here is the link,
Cronmod Unofficial

3. Can you tell me what happens when you try Mounts & Storage> Format /sd-ext? CronMod uses you ext partition even if you don't format it. Its not compulsory and CronMod should work fine.
Sorry for the late reply. If you have anymore doubt, post here. I'll be glad to help

Great. But since yesterday I've been experience speed "problems". I'm wondering if makes snes to gain space but lose speed... Maybe I try and decide with this new method. (Maybe the ROM also affects? ace-i-sure 8 to 12 could cause such speed issues?)

Hi,
after a couple of days I've seen that the speed problems do not compensate teh fact of having more apps installed, so I'm not going to try this new approach.
I've re-flashed the rom without using externad SD and it's running really fine.
Many thanks for your help dude!

Glad I could help And yes irrespective of what method you choose to increase the internal memory, there will always be a lag after you exceed a certain number of app install. This is because in all cases the /data is moved to ext partition of the SD Card. SD Card R/W speed is always lesser than internal memory R/W speed. You can control this lag to a certain extend by using class 8 or higher SD Card and only installing necessary apps.
