Use minitool partition manager on your pc.

Follow these simple steps:
1) Download MiniTool Partitioning Wizard
2) Copy all your sd-card files to your PC. [ Necessary ]
3) Open the tool, format the FAT32 partition [sd-card storage][this is why 2nd step is necessary] and ext partition[you created for linking apps].
4) Delete the ext partition.
5) Finally, extend the FAT32 partition back to its original size.

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.

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.

Noob questions
Hi all
just have a few questions, just point me where i can find the answers
1- benefit of having 2 partition on SD
2- what s the size the partition if i have a 8gb card
3- What format is better fat32, NTFS, ext2,3or 4
4- swap size 0 or 64mb
i had a problem i couldnt solve in my neo when i was using App to sd and i tried to move an apk to sd it says "not enough storage"
although i had 3 GB free then. i formated the sd using Fat32 format 4k unit size. so i didnt saw that error again but i got other error like "unfortunately, apk has stopped". did i mess with something.

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.

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?

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...
Click to collapse
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,

2. Flashing the desired script refers to flashing the script in question, i.e., 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.

I've re-flashed the rom without using externad SD and it's running really fine.

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.

The only prerequisite is to have a rom with init.d support (all custom roms have it but not the stock roms) and then an SD Card with ext partition.You can make use of the CronMod script to move the data to the ext partition of the SD Card. Make sure to create an ext partition on the SD Card. Download the script from below link and place it in the SD Card. Now boot in to CWM and do Mounts & Storage> Mount /system, then choose "Install zip from SD Card" & choose the required script from SD Card and finally do Mounts & Storage> Format /sd-ext. Reboot and go to Settings> Storage to see you newly increased internal memory.

Follow the link and download the "CronMod Unofficial-By Styrke" from attached files. It's actually a script that you can flash from CWM. Once you flash this script, it moves everything in your internal memory to ext partition of the SD Card automatically. Make sure to follow the instructions from my previous post. Hope I Helped

While using CronMod script, you don't have to move app to ext partition of the SD Card as the script will automatically do so.
CWM ReParted is a method of reparition internal SDcard via recovery using flashable zip. It was developed a few months ago, but the message about this method "lost" in a closed thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54157635&postcount=129 so I decided to create separate thread.
It's only for custom (non-stock) based ROMs
Installation method
1) backup your /data partition and /sdcard
2) flash zip archive. It may take a while, be patient.
3) format /data, /cache (ext4 or f2fs) and /sdcard (vfat)
4) restore your data
5) swap storages via Novathor settings app
Thanks to @AntaresOne for a good starting point for this guide.
UPD. repartition scripts for ext4

Thanks @fluffi444
Thank you for your guide. I looked into it and have some questions. I also study repartition script to know what it is doing.
It would be nice if someone can answer these questions:
We are able to deal with all partitions but no with UMS and HIDDEN. What is the purpose of these and why are they needed?
Is it possible to modify ROM and remove them? If so.. How to do that? It would be nice if we can have one big internal memory and one sdcard.
Now, there is one big data and one little 51kb UMS if I understood it correctly.
Fota can be removed totaly I think.
Thank you.

Probably yes... But I don't know how to do that and I really don't think it is necessary for anyone. I use both of sdcards (yes, 32Gb is not enough for me )

Yes, fota will be removed after installation this zip.
I tried to find out where are /preload and /sdcard mounted and maybe it will be ok to edit:
/fstab.samsungcodina to remove mounting preload and sdcard (this file is probably in ramdisk)
and edit build.prop:
persist.sys.vold.switchablepair=sdcard0,sdcard1
but I'm not sure about that.
I did repartition your way but I have problem with Google Photo app. It requires sdcard0 which has no space Is it possible to switch them or use /data as sdcard like in Nexus devices?

I forgot to mention, you need to swap memory via Novathor App after repartition. You also can increase size for UMS if you don't want to swap storages.

CWM ReParted is a method of reparition internal SDcard via recovery using flashable zip. It was developed a few months ago, but the message about this method "lost" in a closed thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54157635&postcount=129 so I decided to create separate thread.
It's only for custom (non-stock) based ROMs
Installation method
1) backup your /data partition and /sdcard
2) flash zip archive. It may take a while, be patient.
3) format /data, /cache and /sdcard
4) restore your data
5) swap storages via Novathor settings app
After repartition you'll have:
2,87 Gb on data
~320 Mb on cache (I didn't change cache partition size because I use F2FS and it needs to use more memory in /cache. Anyway, you can edit repartition script as you want)
~51 kb on UMS and HIDDEN
This script will not change your /system partition.

I think you should go back to original partitions, or you'll get some errors
Or you can do it by hand if you really know what you are doing and if you are familiar with parted.
I studied script and partition layout and did it manually my way with little help which you can find in the first page of this thread. Essential is to know what partition you have to remove and what you have to leave untouched. Next step is to recreate it in propper layout and sizes. Then you format it and install ROM. Finnally switch Storages by Novathor settings.
any1 can tell me how to set the partiton back to original?

Were do you think your Data is if you did an re-partition... correct: Its away or corrupted..... flash complete 3 parted fw as already said (it's the easiest way now)

I'm using KK CM11. And installed this partitioning + kernel f2fs 1.6.3.
But i cant move apps to sdcard after partitioning. Any suggestion??
Maybe because on CM11 its move the apps to ext sdcard. Since ext sdcard doesnt have anyspace, so it wont move.
Without moving apps, i doubt i can install every apps i need.

Try to increase /sdcard partition. I realize now that this is not a good idea to reduce this partitiion to a few kilobytes.
