Am I the only one who notices this or did I not configure my link2sd properly.
After setting up Link2SD to work, if I reflash my ROM, suddenly the new ROM will only recognize my Link2SD partition instead of my 1st partition.
Is there an easy way to point to the ROM to the correct partition rather than having to remove the Link2SD partition?
Thx.

The ROM can only recognize one partition at a time, if you have swap set up then you can switch between partitions, other wise, only link2sd can recognize the second partition and only on ROMS/Kernels that have the option enabled, otherwise your SD card will show up as corrupted or only one partition.
Basically the new rom wipes your swap enabled and your custom installrecovery.sh files which run your link2sd.
You need to create the required files in system/etc for your phone to be able to read the partitions correctly. And I think some roms need a custom kernel to activate swapiness too.
I have my link2sd all set up with wolfs rom and thjaps kernel, and take a backup before I flash anything now in case it screws it up.

Well, reboot in recovery -> advanced -> partition (NOTE: EVERYTHING WILL BE ERASED!!! BACKUP IF NEEDED)
Then boot again, go to Link2SD, select ext4 and reboot.
If you can't link then, try menu -> recreate mount script -> ext3
Press thanks!
I know with a2sdgui, it asks for an a2sd script before it's working, I've never used link2sd before, to OP I followed what the guy above me said than downloaded darktremors a2sd zip script than flashed it than used a2sdgui to move apps to sd-ext, zipaligned and moved and rebuilt dalvik cache and it's been working flawlessly for me, but to respect what above user mentioned, whatever works best for you... There's ungaze and darktremor a2sd script on these forums, do the search on goggles for em

I dun prefer using as2d scripts as they also move gapps to sd,, link2sd worked best for me on stock ROM..
Hey guys i want to use swap, i have made 64mb swap partition from CWM, but how to activate it in a ROM?
using a2sd + darktremor script. or using S2E (for CM7 only).
i used a2sd GUi but it is showing me error :
Could not start for one of these reasons :
1. Your device is not rooted
2. A2sd scripts could not be found
3. No EXT partition found
and i use s2e for moving apps but i didnt found any swap option in that app

will it format SD?
when you do partition with CWM, do you also make the ext partition? (before swap partition option)
have you install the darktremor script? is your ace rooted?

swap is for helping ram. recommended for using class 10.
do you have "laggy" problem with class 4 swap partition?
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342387
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.

Hello
I once installed the MIUI rom and tried some other roms too but I wanted to go back to MIUI and can't! I just get stuck in bootscreen
I've tried to format dada/sdcard/system/cache and to mount/unmount everything before installing, I tried to partitpate sdcard but no ****ing luck
but I can flash every other rom without a problem like tw9;5
Fixed!!!: I had to format my phone to partition EXT4 with Rio's Multi-Formatter (It works on Ace)
Have you formatted your phone's partitions to EXT4?
MIUI is CM7 based, which requires an EXT4 partition to operate.
Search for rio's multi-formatter, or the flashable EXT4 formatter (can be found in bieltv.3's CM7 or CM9 thread, I can't remember).
Remember, after formatting, to flash a kernel. You don't want to hard brick your phone, do you?
