[Q] app2sd not working pls help

Hi!
* i am using MILESTONE
* GOT Recovery
* CM6.1.0-RC0-Milestone
i used to able to move apps manual in settings>>applications>>all>>move to SD but after wiping and restore the rom a few times now i can't do it and it shows the error message:
"Fail to move application. There is not enought storage left."
but i still have 12G on my 16G card. I have backup my FAT partition, partition using GOT with 1G EXT2 storage and paste my FAT partition stuff back into the card but still the same.
Also my "Email" app, NOT THE GMAIL app is corrupted, where can i replace it back?
thanks.
Hi there ... i asked the same question a few days ago but no1 answer me ... but i found a solution
you could try make a backup of all your apps+data then format everything you could think of (which is what i did)
or read this here:

Link2sd Invalid argument error

I've been trying to use link2sd but this error "mount script cannot be created. mount:Invalid argument". Other forums give fixes but they are bit vague as to what to do. I need a step by step fix. Please help
You need a partitioned sd card, have you tried other mount formats (fat32, ext2, ext3)?
What rom, kernel and scripts are you running?
Initially I used mini tool to partioned the sd card and all the formats didn't work. so i used cwm to partion the sd card partioning worked but link2sd is won't. Kernel:[email protected]#1
Rom:S5830XWKP7. I haven't an idea about the scripts though. how do i find that?
What is your rom because some roms aren't compatible with this script, but you can install the script !
I'm using a stock rom:S5830XWKP7
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app
Link2sd might give trouble in stock roms if the partition is in ext3 or ext4. Cwm makes an ext3 format pqrtition.
With minitool, make the partition in fat32 format, both partitions as primary, and try link2sd with fat32 and ext2 mount scripts to see if one of them mounts succesfully.
If you already tried this and didn't work, i dunno whats wrong, sorry i couldn't help.
Other solutions would be to flash a custom kernel with init.d support (such as cf-root or battery extender) these support all partition formats and give access to other methods of moving apps to the partition (s2e, int2ext script, amarullz, etc)

I had the same problems and I tried switching around the formats too.
One thing that did work for me, twice, was to completely format the card and recreate both the partitions on the SD card each time whenever I flashed a new ROM and was going to use Link2SD or S2E. And I used FAT32 for the Link2SD partition. Formatting only the second partition always gave me the mount error.
Hope this helps!
Not all Aces are equal. I don't know the difference, but I had 2 Aces, the ROM info shows same version of software. On one (older one) EXT3 worked, on the newer one it didn't and I had to use FAT32. Strange. I also noticed one Ace (newer one) is a bit THINNER! Same rooting worked for both Aces...
Partioning both as fat32 doesnt work as the phone reads the card as damaged

Why don't you just use the move to SD card function in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications?
That works however the phone internal memory isnt increased and apps are still part on internal memory

That's how Link2SD works. Internal memory is still the same, and application data isn't moved to the SD card.
The actual app file, dalvik cache and library files are moved to the SD card.
If you go to the application management system option, you'll see applications are still taking all the memory space they're supposed to take. Well, that's what the phone thinks, but they're actually not.
Of course, all of this and more is included in the official [url="http://www.link2sd.info/faq]Link2SD FAQ[/url], but then again, everyone knows FAQs are not supposed to be read, and I won't be bugging you more about this subject because I too didn't read the FAQ at first, and once asked similar questions.

Perhaps the op actually wants to move whole apps to the SD and not leave massive chunks still in /data partition? Or maybe that doesnt provide enough space?
Use cronmod script its a flashable zip you mount/data and mount/system that's it done just search cronmod and you will find what you need
my ace is 'ACE'
invalid argument
both of my partitions are fat32, but i had to select ext4 in link2sd to get it to mount. is this a normal fix? or is it not going to function properly?
is it possible to use an sd card to increase /data and /system? cuz even with link2sd i keep running out of internal space, and ive only got 18 mb free in system. my link2sd is set to install to external and autolink.
im using this rom: 【ROM】【=CM10=】【=Aroma=】| ★★ Optimus Prime v1.8 ★★ | 16-04-2013 | 《 Reborn © ✌ 》

Can you please be a bit more detailed seeing as you have not expressed yourself adequately to be of assistance. kindly try enumerating the points instead of lumping them.
1.PARTITIONS PASS IS WRONGLY CREATED ..... i believe you mean path please come again and where is this partition part so i can reconfigure it.

Have you partitioned your sd card to ext2/ext3/ext4? If it's ext2 then make sure you select ext2 in link2sd. Your phone has to be rooted.

which is a siily message box appears telling you that
(mount script can not be created. Mount: Invalid

but here is the real error that caused the message box
and it is that the partitions pass is wrongly created
and here how can it be fixed u r gonna open aparted and
recreate the partitions then go to the configuration part
and change the detected device from (mmcblk0)
to(usbdisk) then automatically the path should be
changed from (/dev/block/mmcblk0) to (/dev/block/sda)
and surely your problem should be solved
then open the link2sd there should be a messege appeared
saying
and if not you shall go to the options and

SD Card problem after trying A2SDX

So I've been having problems with my internal memory, so I decided to try it out. The first problem came upon rebooting my phone. It said something like "android.process.acore stopped working". So I decided to just format the card again, but the place for swap was gone (about 200 mb-s), so I decided to format the whole thing to FAT 32. At first, the phone didn't boot. Then I wanted to reinstall TheWhisp's CM 10 mod which I've been using, but CWM recovery said that mounting the SD Card failed. I read somewhere that going back to a stock rom might help, but nope. I still installed CWM Touch 5.0.2.8, but it still can't mount my sd card. Can anyone please help me? The stock rom is stuck in a bootloop, so I can't use the phone.

Are u sure u removed the ext partition before u tried booting up your phone? Having an ext partition without a2sd would cause bootloops. If you have removed the partition, then have you removed the init.d file from cm10?

Thanks for the answer but I've solved it since then. Simply had to reformat two or three times, now it works. The only problem is that when I remove the card and put it back ES file explorer does not see it, but that's nothing.

[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

Cant factory reset

Hello everyone i been searching and browsing the forums but cant seem to find the solution on this phone, i havent been able to factory reset my phone in years..
I have tried a thousand things factory reset with phone on formatting in CWM and doing a hard reset no matter what i do i can still se folders on my internal card from old apps and stuff..
What can i do ?
I dont care if i have to do something drastic and start over from the beginning because i have lost alot of space this way..
I hope someone can help me..
Find format internal sd card option in cwm, that will completely erase internal sd card content. You can then flash kdz to go back to stock , or flash another rom from external sd card
I will try that and sorry to everyone for posting in the wrong forum like a ******* noob i thought i were in the question forum..
I dont have the format sdcard option but i have a format system option is that the same thing.. ?

Okay then im back at square 1 hope someone has an idea of what to do.. there isn't anything that works.. !!
List all your available format options please.
Sent from my LG-P880 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I actually fixed it, i formatted everything except system in cwm.. Went back to rom and did a factory reset AGAIN and then like magic everything was perfect.. !
I think there were some corrupted files in one of the folders that i formatted with cwm..
Thanks for your help guys..
