Well, all of you know that A2SDX by Amarullz didnt work for us!
I got it working very well (not buggy) on my Play here are the steps you have to do:
1. Make a clean Flash of your FTF .42 or .62
1.1 Format your SD Card with EXT4 as Primary
2. Boot Phone completly
3. Flash DoomKernel or any other kernel with init.d support
4. Boot Phone completly
5. Install BusyBox ( I have 1.18.2 its quiet good )
6. Reboot into Recovery
7. Flash Amarullz Script
Hope it works for you!
Does it still need to fix permissions after you reboot?
What is this? Is it like link2sd? I use link2sd right now

Yes in a way but even better with this mod you can use ext4 from sd card (any size you want i believe)as internal memory. Last time i used this on gb i had 4gb internel!

Maybe if you restart your device at second time, but with doomkernel v13 i dont have to fix permissions every boot again

im gonna test on ics beta with doomv2 ics kernel and report back results
EDIT: DIDNT WORK ONLY GOT BOOTLOOPS. but im gonna try wit doomkernel v14 as that update has zram
Make a NAND befor you do this
strange enough, the first boot after flashing this i lost all network connectivity, and after i rebooted it again i got random reboots
Reboot again and Fix Permissions.. Do you have EXT4 Partition as Primary??
The last time i used Amarullz's A2SD, i had to fix permissions every time i rebooted, or else i wouldn't have any network.
That's a major inconvenience.
Has this been fixed?
i dont know.. i have installed busybox before installing this script and it worked fine for me... sometimes you have to read the original thread complete

Use the ADB commands mentioned in the first post of the original thread.
Created this thread since someone does not want to discuss in development thread.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT MY WORK ,just re-posting from Dev Thread.
Someone in the Dev thread posted that S2E is now working with JB 4.2.

This s2e version works well with this ROM.

1. I can confirm it is working, install S2E from the original thread.
2. Run S2E and go to Settings > Mount as Ext4 (if no sd-ext, make one via recovery)
3. Reboot the device
4. Run S2E select items to move to SD-EXT, reboot to recovery
5. In recovery Delete Dalvik-Cache (if you do not do this, you will get "Unfortunately xxx stop running" ALOT.
DO NOT give credit to me, give credit to the one created the S2E for JB 4.2
thank you, i'll try

Restart your phone manually, not from link2sd
Go to Link2sd settings
uncheck all options
exit from link2sd
Open root explorer or other file manager that have root access
Go to /data/sdext2, delete all folder if exist
Go back to /data
Copy app, data, app-private, and dalvik-cache to /sdext2
Wait a moment
Go to /sdext2
Create link to app (Long press the folder, scroll down, and choose "Link to this folder")
Go back to /data, and choose create link
There is a warning, and choose YES
Repeat this to data, app-private, and dalvik-cache
After that, restart your phone twice, and look at internal storage.

great bro..:good:
i just want to know..it's that ok if i clear the dalvic cache via cwm?
all i know if the dalvic cache move to sdext..you can't clear the dalvic via cwm..cmiiw..
Proud to be Indonesian..
so basicly what this does?oO
and you werent quite clear on your tutorial how to do it... seems a bit complicated...
Go to Settings
uncheck all options > settings, phone settings or link2sd settings?And wich settings are you refering -.-
AngelusPT,
Link2sd settings,. Sorry
edit: cancel it
Thanks for the info...I will try this on my S5830 with Jellaxy 10.1, I am having problem with Link2SD and free space in /data because only apps linked to /sdext have its dalvik-cache linked too.
UPDATE: I 've messed up my phone , but I had many applications already installed. I will try after a fresh install
I've try this trick. awesome, csn reduce my internal memori use extremely. But problem shown when I'm installed new app and linked it, it always got force close. Is there something wrong?
P.S. sorry for my bad english
Sent from my HS-E910 using xda app-developers app
@sihung, you don't need to link your app.
Can I use this on S5830i???
And i already have 150 apps linked do can I use this???
But I don't wanna unlink or delete them
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda premium
I think you can use it on S530i.
You can try this tutorial in a fresh phone.
What makes this "extreme" exactly?.. Links2SD is Links2SD and has been around for quite some time. It should work on all custom kernels without issues (won't work on stock roms). Fresh installs are the better choice as link2SD decides what is best for the app automatically.
There is another thread in the dev section which explains properly how to set this up.
Great app btw..
I wonder what was the experience of the earlier users as they didnt mention the results/experience with this trick. I would try this and post the results by tomorrow probably
Works grt.. Thanks for the guide...Cheers !! :good:
Maybe you missed to include one step in the guide,
Step 6: while uncheking all options under Link2DS settings > under Native Apps2sd sttings..choose install location as internal..
Hope it helps !!

good job!
i'm using this now.works great!it is easy to do.but if you're new to android,you will be confuse with the tutorial.
to make things clear,if you ever heard of "app2sd" or "S2E",the idea is just the same.it is just manually mounting sdext2 as the default install location.we just just have to take advantage of the script created by the link2sd app.
this will work on stock or custom rom that has init.d.and you don't have to manually link apps using libk2sd app.the system will decide where to install.after you done this,link2sd app will be useless.
Where is that "init.d" be found?
And what particular root explorer app that has so called "linking" capability?

it's in system/etc/init.d.your rom should have init.d support.if your on stock rom,try the init.d enabler via terminal emulator,via cwm,or via app.i think you will have that option in root explorer if you have installed the link2sd.
I have got some problem, my album app and walkman app is not working, it.give error unfortunately album has stopped working.. Have stock rom

Hello again,
Firstly look into general / development section for ftfs! Make sure you pick up a generic version according to your phone model!
Secondly , use the guide mentioned by a user above to flash ftf file.
Only backup user apps in titanium back !
Go to titanium ,then options , then clear dalvik! See if that helps!
Also remove thumbnails folder in DCIM from your phone using a file explorer.
You can also use SD maid from Google play store to clear cache / unnecessary files by corpsefinder and systemcleaner in SD maid menu. This will automatically remove thumbnails cache!
Good luck

flashing ftf will be my last option so first i am done with backups (userapps, contacts logs calender).
I tried SD Maid but asking for Superuser permision, so should i grant or deny?

Grant it to work and please use common sense!
You are about to clear system cache, how would you do that without root or permission !

Either be fine !
Sus will do it officially with latest firmware of your region only while flashtool with give you more control over which ftf to flash/version/components !
My signature means, if you want a guide that's not available or think it could be rewritten, pm me!m in case of a query, just mention/quote me!

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)
