[Q] link2sd

how do you think about link2sd?
i've been using it for a long time , but i'm thinking about move app to sd card by setting in cm setting.
can someone give me a solution for me?

Many forms, from making a backup of the app's with Titanium or similar, then delete the partition Link2app, and you can retrieve the app's backup.
Another possibility is one to one pass with Link2app app to the phone memory and then App2SD to the card.

Link2Sd is superb..i'm using it on my floyobread v12 from doixanh...& doesnt having any issue

thanks , i'm back to link2sd

I have a question with Link2SD. I have using it when I have EWJet Rom. However, when I flash 2.2 or 2.3 ROM, the ROM seems to read the 2nd partition created for Link2SD, as a results all files (photos and others) will be saved in this 2nd partition and as a results, I am not able to access these files when I connect to my PC as PC only recognized the first partition.
Hence, whenever, I flash 2.2 or 2.3 Rom for testing, I have to removed the 2nd partition so that any files saved would be in the first partition.
Anyone has a better solution?
Thanks.

Well u cant look into ur 2nd partition using PC connection,coz link2sd only partition those apps to this 2nd partition & u can only look into it using titanium BC from ur phone...maybe there's a software outside that can look into this 2nd partition on ur PC...google it & see..

I have tried to google it but can't find any programme. Do you have any in mind? Thanks.

what do you need for link2sd...ext2 or 3?

I highly recommend using CMW for making the partition. I've had some problems making them through my PC. With CMW you just set the amount of size you want it and wait till its done.
Then install S2E.

yea its better to make it by cwm and its very easy....
but make sure you have the backup of you sdcard before partitioning...

Hey ! I just googled about partitioning sd card and found that CWM may brick your phone.. is it true ?

If your phone is rooted, follow these steps -
1) Download root explorer or file manager app from market.
2) Open the app
3) Go to system/app
4) Delete the following files
swype.apk
thinkdroid.apk or thinkfree.apk if you dont use thinkfree office(something like that, i dont remember the exact name)
youtube.apk
fmradio.apk and fmradio.odex
voicesearch.apk
voicerecorder.apk and voicerecorder.odex
etc..
Delete these files only if you dont use all these apps. Don't blame me later on.

Apps disappearing from EXT4 partition
Hi everyone. Since I see that at least part of this thread seems to be talking about Link2SD, I wondered whether anyone might be able to offer some insight into the problem I am experiencing.
Before that however, let me explain that I started off with an 8GB micro SD card with a 500MB EXT4 partition. I had been fast running out of space in the internal phone memory, and my SD drive itself was also filling up fast. When I installed Link2SD I managed to regain a considerable amount of free space on the internal memory.
The problem is though that once I had linked the majority of my apps to the EXT4 partition and backed up the device in that condition with CWM, once I rebooted the system all the apps that were linked had disappeared. However there are still some 244MB of files on the EXT4 partition that Link2SD says are in use, and I cannot delete them.
I then purchased a 16GB micro SD card from Samsung, and tried to restore the CWM backup to that card....my apps were missing apart from the few that remained on the FAT32 partition and in the phone memory....I should mention that this also happened before I installed the CM7.1 ROM.
Now things have really become problematic. I decided to remove quite a few apps, then download the latest version of Link2SD from the apps Market. But although there is now plenty of space on all partitions I keep getting the 'insufficient storage available' message, and I cannot install anything. I also did a CWM restore on the original 8GB SD card with the same result. This is why I cannot lay the blame fully on Link2SD, as there has to be a glitch somewhere in my installation.
FreeSpace [Root] shows the following on the 8GB based system:
Cache free space 20.7MB
Data free 16.6MB
Ext free 265.0MB
SD-card free 959.1MB
System free 48.2MB
So what gives? I really don't understand what's going on. I am running the latest CM7.1-RC1 Cooper-Grif ROM build number GWK74, with Kernel version 2.6.35.7-CL-562111 [email protected]#1 with all updates necessary. This is costing me more time than I can afford to lose on this, and I really need to find a solution once and for all, preferable without having to reinstall everything again from scratch, which is what I intend doing once the official Cyanogen Mod becomes available finally.
Thanks in advance, and apologies for the long post.

Make partition in cwm yet easy but...it will format your sd...on minitool is better if u have lots of thing on your sd...
regards,
•ƒγяύs ργяσ™•

I got some problems doing this. This is what I did:
I had many apps installed and moved to SD (8gb class 4), so I made a backup of the SD content.
I formatted it, and created 2 partitions (6.8gb and 515mb) using Minitool Partition Wizard. Both are primary and FAT32 (if I create the 2nd partition as EXT2 the phone says SD is damaged).
Moved my backup content again to the 6.8gb partition and rebooted the phone.
Looks like everything is right but Link2SD says "second partition not found".
What IM doing wrong?
Would Link2SD detect that 2nd partition if I flash my phone and I start installing apps now that my SD has 2 partitions?

IMHO from what I've experience, Link2sd does not accept fat partitions. I had the same problem.
Are you looking for the correct type of partition?
Start Link2sd>menu>More>recreate mount scripts and choose FAT32/FAT16

[Need Help ] SD card partition unrecognized.

I have a problem. I have a 4GB sandisk sd card. Yesterday when I was on stock DDKQ8 ( with other apps installed ). After flashing cwm, I partitioned to have 1GB ext on my sd using cwm. Partitioning took unevenly very long time. But after completion, I connected phone to pc & on opening easus partition manager, it did not read any partition on my sd. I ran the partition recovery wizard but with no use. I tried resizing the primary partition ( now it was reduced to 2.67 GB ) but the option was grey ( unavailable ). Then I disconnected phone & flashed sgs2 rom. But during wiping, when I opted the wipe data/factory reset option, my phone got stuck at formatting sd-ext. I took out battery & tried repartitioning sd card via cwm. This time it was a bit faster & I got through the wiping quickly & flashed the rom. Flashed d2ext+ & rebooted. In storage option under settings, I found that my internal memory was successfully extended. I was able to install apps & everything was working normally. Thinking that my sd was back on track, I reconnected phone to pc just to verify that the partition was recognized by it. But to my surprise, easus still showed no partition. Now I'm stuck. How do I delete the partition without having to see it ? Will my sd be permanently restricted to reduced memory ? Please help.
Some additional info :
A couple of days ago my friend had brought a pen drive which contained some important files. On connecting it to my pc, windows asked me to scan & fix. I did, but later on data transfer to/from it got really slow & I saw that windows explorer wasn't responding. As he was from the neighbouring town, we couldn't afford to lose the data & somehow after random connecting & disconnecting, I managed to copy the files onto my pc. I formatted the pen drive but the slowpoke problem prevailed. And now I wonder if this in anyway has troubled my sd. Doubting this, I formatted my C:/ drive & reinstalled my windows, in case there were viruses. But the problem was still the same. Thought there might be viruses in my backup files. Ran a boot time scan using avast! for over 2hrs. Found a couple of minor pups. Deleted them & rebooted. But still the same. Unrecognized ( not shown at all, just the primary partition is being shown ) partition by easus. All the drivers are definitely correctly installed by me. I tried copying files to another sd of mine. Even this was awefully slow. Can anyone help me out ?

you can cwm partitions by wiping data and other things.
I recommend you to use mini tool partition wizard to make partitions

I already know that but thanks for replying anyway ! I some how managed to get back my sd to its full capacity but the data transfer from pc is extremely slow ( just 24kbps !!! ). I tried this on another pc but same result. So I'm sure it should be the problem with the sd itself. I had a 5 yr warranty on it. Will I get a replacement ?

[Q] Ext 2,3 Partition failed

Hi all
Im not sure this question has been asked a lot or not. I already search same ques like me but none exactly same.
So here is the situation. I do have sd card 2GB in this old Salsa. It used to working fine because i did managed to create ext 2 on the sd card last time. But few days ago the sd card got error ( suddenly it cant open all apps in partition. force closed). So i decided to format and create ext again. Here the come issue. It just seem i cant manage to do it. I did all the drill using minitools, delete partition,create partition etc. Once applied the partition will become unallocated. Can anyone advice me on this?
Thanks!!
ps: i attach the print screen as well.

Firstly ext3 partition,
Secondly primary and not logical type
From what it looks you did everything right,
Anyways reduce your partition size to maybe 250MB or so.... It might be a reason

[Q] ext4 partition help

Hey guys,
Lately I've been doing some read about the benefits of partitioning a SD card. I decided to try but got stuck at the very beginning of the process. I've tried searching for a similar question in our forum but got no answer to my question.
Ok, so I backed up my (16gb class 4) SD Card. Then I decided to use GParted to format/partition my SD card, first I got an error saying I cannot create more than 1 partition without having to delete all partitions first. So I did, and created a GPT partition table, then first created a FAT32 partition, then a 1gb EXT4 partition. I rebooted but got the error saying my SD card was damaged and I must reformat. Then I tried doing this with MiniTool Partition Wizard. Same thing, I couldn't create more than 1 partition, then I reformatted and exact same thing happened. I'm thinking that probably the ROM I'm using does not support this feature. I have Link2SD installed already. I followed almost every partitioning guide here but of course each one is for a specific device and so on.
So here I am, hoping to get some help. I promise I learn quite fast and don't make same questions twice. I appreciate your time in advance.

Why do you want to partition your card? Just use titanium backup or something to move your apps.. Or is there any other benefit?

I've been reading different opinions about it. But I don't see a consensus. So I wanted to try for myself and decide. Would it make a difference if I use Link2sd instead of Titanium? I have Rom Toolbox Pro but I've read it doesn't move apps quite well.
Sent from my HTC Desire C

I used titanium to move my apps to sdcard. The only difference as far as i know is that you can't use your apps when the sdcard is mounted in the pc. Which is fine coz when I'm transferring some files, I don't really need to play games on my phone.
I didn't notice any performance difference either.
But take care of what apps you are transferring. Don't transfer anything important like launchers.

Ok. I moved them with Link2SD. So far the only problem I've had is that some apps take longer to launch, specially after rebooting.
