Hi there
Thanks to all you good people out there sharing knowledge all over the internet, I have managed to successfully install Android-x86-RC2 on my Asus S400CA Ultrabook! :good: (It comes rooted with superuser)
I want to keep things simple. Avoiding anymore dual-boot disasters, Android install and boot from an external disk is safe and easiest thing I could do.
Currently running Android from an external 150GB USB Mass Storage Disk.
(This disk is partitioned. Android is on a 10GB partition. I can change this as per your suggestions using MiniTool on Windows 8.1)
Key Problem - Unable to use any other storage, other than the 2047MB created during the install.
I'll be happy to buy an independent higher capacity SD card, as long as it works!
I tried with a 1GB SD card. Partitioned (100MB Fat32, 880MB ext2) and also unpartitioned. Android mounts the card. Link2SD fails to move apps.
(SD card gets mounted under USB storage in the settings).
If you people can help me sort this one thing out, I'll be so so very thankful....
.....cause without storage all my efforts will become complete waste.
(Installing Asphalt 8 requires 1.4GB space, which fell short of 35MB space. And that's just one game.)
Everything is in working order! - All hardware, including touch screen, SD card reader, WiFi Wireless adapter, Xbox Wireless USB Controller, Bluetooth 4.0 adapter (multiple connections - Sony mouse VGP-BMS33, and Plantronics earphones).
Bluetooth was really annoying since it failed to pair everytime. Thanks to 'Bluetooth Auto Connect' app from Play Store sorted this issue.
Haven't tested webcam and I can't go any further...
I am out of space.... but I can't give up just yet.... PLEASE HELP
SOLVED...!
Android x86 RC1, RC2 and r1, all have similar behaviour! It really depends on the type of partition format you use.
FAT32, FAT and NTFS will limit the internal memory to 2047MB. Ext3 and ext2 partitions however create internal memory using the whole partition space.
Kindly note: Do no use Android installers' paritioning. Instead use third party tool like MiniTool Partition Magic from your Windows environment to partition and prepare the disk for installation. (During R&D I formatted ext3 partitioned disk with NTFS formatting using Android installer. When I went back to do another install, I found that disk was still showing Linux! So used MiniTool for formatting...)
Hope this helps someone...

I've been trying to format my 32GB sdcard to a filesystem that can read files over 4GB. Main reason being I use HDMI connection to view 1080p movies on TV.
Anyway, I've tried EXT2, 3, 4, NTFS, exFAT, and all of them come up with the "broken sdcard" message from android when I try to mount the sdcard.
I'm using kernel version 2.6.32.59-MB860-MROM and using the lastest MROM based off CM7. Anyone have any insight on where I can go from here? Thanks.
The whole entire Android system assumes the user storage (internal or external) is formatted as FAT32. This is much harder to change than you think. A simple reformat won't do.
You need to have at least part of your SD card to be FAT32 because many applications are using it to store configuration and data. You can have two partitions on your SD card, but I am not sure if video player will be able to use any partitions other than FAT32.
I found a way to format my external 32GB sdcard to NTFS and still have it mounted on the phone. Pretty easy actually. I'll post it here for those that might be interested:
-Used Paragon Partition Manager 12 on my Windows machine to format my external SD to NTFS
-Atrix wasn't reading the card so I tried a program called Paragon exFAT, NTFS, & HFS+ by Paragon Software. Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5wYXJhZ29uLm1vdW50ZXIiXQ..
-Paragon was not able to mount my sdcard automatically as it just gave me an error, so what I did with the rom im using was mount manually to /mnt/sdcard-ext. Should be good to go after this.
Been using it for a few days and everything is working well so far. Only annoying thing is everytime I connect by usb to my comp and enable usb storage I have to manually remount once I disconnect.
Hi, I followed the following tip from a member:
ASAWI Senior Member
Extremely easy process to build a card similar to N2A to run a very stable CM10 from:
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/...r-nook-tablet/ (built by"Succulent")
And am wondering what the fourth FAT32 partitions purpose is, other than storing freshly downloaded files to it, or else for app data.
Since I can't access it from Windows, (just as Minitool says..."you can access only the 1st BOOT fat32 partition from Windows"), I can't copy any of my existing mp3's, vids, ebooks, or big game APK's (100's of MB each) to it. I created it big (10GB) for this purpose, but then while deleting,recreating this parition in Minitool, I saw (& then remembered) the minitool msg. How can one sideload files to the sdcard from a Win7 PC? Make that first FAT32 partition (by default 249MB) my 10GB ? Is that even an an option? OR is there a better method of getting all my existing mp3's, movie files, and APK files onto the SDcard?
You should see this partition when you connect your NT to your PC.
Like Digixmax says, connect the Tablet to the PC. You should be able to see both your internal storage and the use partition on the sd-card.
The Tablet might show up as a picture of an mp3-player with headphones OR you get prompts on the Tablet itseld to enable USB storage or something like that. It depends on you storage settings how the Tablet shows up on your PC, but you should absolutely be able to transfer files both to internal storage and the card!.
Thanks guys. I'm copying my stuff to it right now.
Hi Friends, I just bought 32 gb class 10 micro sd card for my x10i....
Should I need to copy any files from my old sd card....
and how to use app2sd (what exactly it does)....Is that to increase the phone's internal memory.....

Cool. 32GB Class10 cards are the business.
No, you shouldn't need to copy any files from your old card. BUT.....
I'd check all applications and restore all data back to the phone (if you have the available internal storage available) before you insert the new card so you have no installed applications with sdcard storage. settings -> applications
Sometimes it's better to start a fresh and this way you're not copying over all your 'zombie' folders from apps you no longer have installed.
Export configuration/setup files for the likes of mail, contacts and etc, so you can import them again later if required.
I have a NAS and copy my old card(s) onto the NAS and thus I have access to the 'old' data via WiFi if and when I need it as the XPERIA X10i has no OTG microUSB access.
Apps2SD does NOT free up memory, it frees up space in your internal storage area and takes advantage of your high speed Classs10 miroSD card read/write I/O and 32GB disk space. Your XPERIA X10 has an internal data size as small as approx 400MB, with approx 2-3MB read/write I/O and that's what apps2sd is attempting to assist by freeing up space on your internal /data storage.
Apps2SD allows you to manage the applications which can be moved onto the microSD card. Apps2SD does leave some files (dex) in the /data partition on the phone internal memory, but even so you'll reduce the internal phone storage use.
The only real down side of Apps2SD is that you have to consider that all your SD card applications will NOT be accessible when your phone is mounted via USB on a PC as the 32GB microSD card is generally one FAT32 partition.
Link2SD FAQ
If you enabled root access, you could use Link2SD and a 32GB Class10 card is just the ticket for this kind of use.
This allows you to create a second ext4 formatted data partition on your SDcard(I use a 1GB partition) and have the applications themselves run from the SDcard as will as the data which is linked from the primary partition. This takes full advantage of your high speed Class10 MicroSD card and this partition is not 'unmounted' when your phone is connected to a PC via USB, so all your 'linked' applications continue to work.
If you remove or replace the SDcard after using apps2sd or link2sd your lose all your applications on the SDcard, so just be aware.
Link2SD is mucho cool as you can backup the second partition and then recreate it and re-run the Link2SD mount script and it'll relink and restore all your Link2SD applications as is stores all the app, library and data files.

You can leave your XPERIA X10i to format the 32GB card or you can format it on a PC using one of the following tools.
You can read up on formatted unit size and partition alignment and see if it is right for you.
I use Ridgecorp Consultants FAT32 formatter
Or you could use SD Association FAT32 formatter (I've not used it)
When the XPERIA X10i formats and mounts the SD card a few XML files are created as well.
I would install Link2SD as your first user application as then all following applications will be 'auto' linked after you setup Link2SD on your SD card.
Most 'new-ish' ROMs have support for additional partitions (ext3/ext4) and mount the FAT32 formatted partition first before any additional ext3/4 partitions.
GB 2.3.3 doesn't have this support and you'll need to install via xRecovery or CWM(if supported)
This information can be found here:
[DEV]Link2SD working on X10i
[DEV]Step by step instructions to load Link2SD on X10i
I have used MiniTool Partition Wizard on Win7 and created a 1GB partition and formatted it as ext3. You can try ext4 as some ROM/Link2SD combinations will work.
Oh and make both your FAT32 and you ext3/4 partitions as primary.

Hi, I formatted the 32 gb sd card today using the minitool partion wizard (as it is given in the link you provided).
I partitioned 1 gb as fat32 and the remaining as ext2....
But now I can only see the 1 gb in my mobile(cant able to see remaining space), What should I do now.....
Shall I format the sd card completely to fat32 (back to its original form) . Is it possible to partion using link2sd...
If you followed the following step by step instructions, I would have thought you'd be OK.
[DEV]Step by step instructions to load Link2SD on X10i
Your first partition should be ~29GB FAT32 and then the ~1GB ext3/ext4 partition, both of which are primary.
I have no idea what Link2SD does on a FeraLab v23 ROM, maybe someone else has information on that.
It works fine on CM10 4.1.2 (Scritch007) or GB 2.3.3 with DoomKernel v6.
Did you install the following zip?

No, I did not install the zip...
I formatted the sd in my pc, copied the rom in the sd card and then installed V23 ROM.......and then downloaded link2sd from play store...
I only did this....
Cool. And after successfully installing the FreaLab v23 ROM from the FAT32 partition of the card which may or may not be approximately 28GB which xRecovery/CWM can read without problems. You restarted your phone, logged in and proceeded through the startup wizard, probably rebooted if you followed the FeraLab V23 ROM install instructions and restarted the phone again.
You would then normally check to see if the MicroSD card is operational/mounted and/or go to settings->storage and check that you had a 28GB FAT32 partition mounted.
If the MicroSD card is not mounted or there is an operational error with the MicroSD card, then there is a fair chance you need to install the Link2SD mount correction zip to allow the Android phone to mount the FAT32 partition first.
I have to assume that because you were able to install the ROM from the MicroSD card that there is some sort of operational working formatted storage available on the MicroSD card that Android recognizes.
If this is successful and there was no MicroSD card mounting or operational errors you'd proceed to setup Google play with a user sign-in and installed Link2SD.
You'd then invoked Link2SD and assign the correct format to the partition. I chose ext4. You could choose any of ext2,ext3 or ext4 options.
If this is successful you will need to restart your phone or at least restart Link2SD.
Then you should be good to go.

This is not working, I tried with both the zip and without zip.....
It says
Mount Script error
Mount script cannot be created.
mount: mounting/dev/block/vold/179:2 on /data/sdext2
failed: Invalid argument
ext4 may not be supported on your device. Try FAT32 on the second partition
So, should I try FAT32 for both partitions....
In that case what will be the probability that it will choose exactly my 1gb partition...
Pls help...

How to mount an USB stick formatted ext2/3/4?
When I connect a FAT formatted stick, it works, NTFS too using the Paragon_NTFS TC plugin.
I thought ext2/3/4 is supported, when the system and internal storage is on an ext4 partition.
Has the tablet to be rooted?
Tried also an ext3 formatted SDCard in the tablet, the result is the same - it says the card is empty or an unsupported filesystem..
The format it is told to read the sd card is different from the format it's told to read the system as. I'd say you'd have to be rooted if making any changes to what's readable versus what's not. The only thing is I'm not too sure on how exactly you'd do that other than using a cwm recovery and adding an extension partition on your card.
I'm afraid I need to do something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/dell-venue/general/guide-ext4-microsd-card-dell-venue-8-t3042906
The main problem is, I can't root my Venue because I've encrypted the filesystem.
I'm afraid I have to reformat my USB sticks to FAT32/NTFS ...
Decrypt then? Root and recrypt?
Edit: did you buy a large as card?
My 32 is in but have only had issues with higher cards like 64 and 128. There's an application I once used to format the card on board but when I plugged it into PC whether Linux or win, they'd get corrupted. So now the 128 lives in my laptop and the 64 in phone. 32 for the tablet for me is plenty. Onboard formatted to exFat I believe. Backup your goods. [emoji12]
Edit 2: I'm sure there's an app for that. No? Sorry, I was talking micro SD like a MF, lol! Stuff like that is not cool but I throw everything on my biggest USB 128 and it's formatted to NTFS but my others are just fat and don't read either.
According the instructions when encrypting, there is no decrypting, only factory reset.
I have a 64GB card, formatted to FAT32, no issues so far.
The idea was to use an EXT3 formatted USB thumb drive for big files (movies), so far I'm bypassing the problem with a NTFS formatted USB thumb drive and the Paragon_NTFS TC plugin but I have to copy the big file to the internal storage because the plugin doesn't make the NTFS drive visible for other apps than TC (Total Commander).
Edit: There are apps for mounting USB EXT2/3/4 (USB OTG Helper, USB Mount All, StickMount) but they all require root.
Then follow the crowd and. ..
Root it, root it, root it.... lol
Those were the apps I've used before and I root every device I own before I even get comfy with it.
hi!
i have a problem with insufficient internal storage. i use a 64GB micro sd-xc card and have until recently used it as portable storage. but the phone's internal storage was not enough for all my apps and their data so i decided to format the sd as internal, which should allow you to move your apps there.
but as i discovered, only very few third party apps can be moved to sd, stuff like play music, drive, sheets, slides, etc. can not be moved. this puts me in an awful position because i use drive and play music a lot, and every kB of stuff i want to keep available offline gets stored in the small internal storage, so in the end i have no space left on the phone, and an almost empty useless sd.
using it as portable doesn't allow any apps to be migrated to the sd either, so i'm stuck with only 4GB of space. apps like link2sd and apps2sd don't work with marshmallow.
does anyone know how to move google apps or app data to the sd on marshmallow?? i don't want to go back to lollipop due to this...
OR, has anyone found out how i could partition the sd card in a way that a part would be formatted as internal and part as external storage? (all my attempts ended with the phone formatting the whole sd as internal)

Hi @bombaglad
I use Cyanogenmod 13 too. You have mentioned apps2sd do not work, but I use it and it works fine for me. Try to give it another go, and make sure you correctly partition your sd-card.

wow! thanks for your reply. i have played around with it a lot and i couldn't get it working, i also found other forums with people who had problems with this.. so please, could you explain to me the steps you took to get it working? like, what format was the sd card first, which app you used to partition it and what format was the partition? that would really help me out

I use MiniTool Partition Wizard to partition my sd-card. I connect it to a converter for usb and then connect it to my computer. In the partition wizard, I partition most of it to primary FAT32. Then the rest I partition to ext4, also primary. You decide on how much to allocate to each partition. I find using about 6 GB for the second partition will be the most I ever need.
After the sd-card is partitioned, I insert it back to my phone. When cm13 asks you to decide what to do with the sd cards, tell it the first partition is external, but don't do anything for the second one.
Then download apps2sd. go to settings and set "mmcblk1p2" for "Use custom dev block". Also check "Use public vold". Those are my settings. Then you can try and go to the "Link apps to sd card" section and continue from there. I really hope for you this works!
If id doesn't you can try to do the whole process but this time also tell Cyanogenmod the second partition is external.....
Let me know!

i'll admit, that a few minutes before reading this answer, i simply used apps2sd's partition tool, and with fat32 and ext3 i am now able to use the linking function thank you very much for your assistance, it's people like you thanks to whom the xda community is as awesome as it is <3
I'm always glad to help!
By the way, if after a reboot your phone tells you your sd-card is corrupt, just ignore the notification..

Hi,
I've similar problems.
My configuration: LG G3 (D855) with CM13 (build: 20160528), SuperSU 2.74, xposed framework
In CM13 I'm not able to move apps to the external SD (there is no such option).
So I tried it with APPS2SD. :
- I'm able to create two partitions and to mount the second one.
- My Problem: I always get the following error message when trying to move an app: ...apk Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]
Already tried:
- different File Systems for second partition (ext2, ext3, ext4, f2fs)
- with or without swap partition
- Also your mentioned options:
-- use of the MiniTool Partition Wizard with a primary FAT32 and a second primary ext4 partition
-- set "mmcblk1p2" for "Use custom dev block"
-- check "Use public vold"
Nothing helped so far. Still the same error.
By the way, I can see my second partition in the (rooted) Total Commander App (also in Android Settings, but there it is marked as damaged). And CM13 never asked me what to do with the second partition (only that it is damaged).
Any further ideas? Thanks in advance
Best regards
Formating SD card
What about formating the SD card as internal storage?
I haven't done it myself because I have a class 4 sd card and I'm afraid it's going to be slow but it seems like a good idea
Solution: Linking instead of moving
I could solve my problem
Instead of moving apps I linked them => works excellent!
Best regards

Im liking to use the new function of marshmallow, but i cant move hangouts to new partition.
Does someone know another way to move dont using apps2sd?
