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?
Hi all,
my Gtab P1000 2.2 rooted is out of space.
With Titanium Backup i've seen that i have only 5 MB available in system rom space
infact i tried to install an application of 13,62 MB and i'm unable to do it.
Is there a way to clean up system rom? is the fault of the installed applications?
thanks
one last question: my tab is rooted if i upgrade to gingerbread would i re-root the device?
move some app from your phone to sdcard
use titanium if can do so or search on the market there is alot of them up there
I've already copied some apps to sd but nothing is changed.
i ve 2gb for apps and i have 1,46 gb free
system rom is almost empty. If i uninstall apps or move them in SD nothing change....
I'm having the same prob. I've moved all programs to SD (via move to SD card or link2SD program) but it doesn't solve the message or the quota.
I think it's a bug.
GTP1000 Rooted I'm using Install Manager, Android Assistant, Quick application Manager and Root explorer to shift all my application from the phone to the SD card unfortunately I figured out that I have only 200 MB remaining in my phone memory ! Only 4 programs installed on there as per of the previouse listed applications and the remaining on the SD card as it shows I start searching to figure out the problem using root explorer I found the root
Phone Memory/mnt/asec/secure/asec - 990 MB so I tried to move it to the SD card but once moved it will return back again to the same path!! Even if I tried to delete it will remain the same! also I found another root phone/mnt/asec -670 MB which has almost the same applications by all means using root explorer I cut& paste the first root to the SD card and reboot then only the installed programs in phone works and the other application icons disappeared I was shocked cause even trying to backup my mistake was a hectic work, by all means its again as it was and still facing the same problem any help
Solution
After fed up of finding any solution I start clear all the programs data manually at least to preserve some space and while clearing my phone explorer application data I shocked it was loaded with 1.53 GB!!!!! Don’t know where it came from!!! But finally my sole been relieved thanks for all the assistant been given by every one answered my query
Ok a few issues here....
1) You should be asking this in the Q&A forum, not the Dev forum, it has nothing to do with development
2) You don't need four third party apps to move your apps to sdcard. Apps2SD is a function of the android system. You can simply go into Settings->Manage Apps and then go into whatever app you want to move and press the button that says "Move to SD Card"
3) You really shouldn't be rooting around your phone deleting or moving stuff without a thorough understanding of Linux and Android.../mnt/asec/secure/asec is a symlink to .android_secure on your sdcard. Those files were not actually on your internal memory, just links to files on your sdcard.
4) Android will manage your internal memory as necessary...you really don't need to be worried about having only 200mb free. Once you run out it will start installing apps to your sdcard on its own.
At this point I think you're pretty fubar and will have to reinstall the apps then move them to SD if you so choose.
Dear thanks a lot for you respond also thanks to direct me to the proper channel to post my inquiry in, also thanks a lot for the advices and for the explanation but one more concern killing me, why once trying to install new application an red SD card icons appears on the tab upper left corner with memory full window listing that internal device memory is nearly full delete/uninstall some applications or data and try again! Any help
Internal Memory full
You must have a ton of data on your internal SD and that is why the icon appeared. Also, some apps cannot be moved to the external SD. I would go into your applications and see what is vital and what you can delete. Keep the internal SD as light as possible. External SD's can be expanded to 32 gbs (i have one and it works well)..so use that for all your data and for moveable apps. Remember to check which apps you can move and which must stay on the Internal SD.

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

Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
I had trouble myself trying to increase the internal memory of my galaxy ace s5830i, until i found this method which i believe is very simple and easey to follow and wanted to share with more people who might be facing same problem. It isnot my work, but since it is in spanish i took some time to translate it so you could use the same procedure.
******************************************************************************************************
Here a translation from a video in spanish. The author is hery reyes• I’m only translating the info, but I’ve tried it myself and worked for me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rgq4cNvTMng
Requirements:
-Make a complete backup of your rom from CWM
- Have root access
- This procedure should work with any ROM (Stock or Custom) however in some ROMS you might need to have active the “init.d” folder
- Root explorer or Root Browser (links available in the video)
- Partitioned SD card (you can do it with CWM or using Mini Tool Partition wizard.. or others..)
- Link2SD
Procedure:
Open Link2sd and allow Root Access
It will ask you about the partition to be used, select ext2 and it will ask you to reboot your phone. Please ignore and go to the main menu. From there, reboot manually your device.
Once it starts again, open Linkd2sd and the message about partition should not appear again. (If it does, choose ext3 and repeat the process, try with ext4 or fat 32 if previous do not work).
Once inside Link2sd, go to settings and take the mark off all the options. Then close Link2sd and we will not use it again from this point on. We will not need it anymore.
Go to Root Browser and allow Root Access.
Go to "/data/sdext2" and delete any folder you find inside. Go to the path "/data" and copy the 4 following folders "app", "data", "app-private", y "dalvik-cache", then go inside "/data/sdext2" and paste them. This process will take a little while so be patient.
Once the 4 folders are copied, we go inside "/data/sdext2"
y will do the same process for each of the folders. Go to “app” and long press the button, for a menu to appear, go to the last one that says –create link- then, go back to the main */data” folder and clieck on create, you will see a message saying the folder exists and if you want to combine them, click YES. Do the same for the other 3 folders. NOTE: If your sd card is less low capacity (less than 4), then better do it only with 3 folders and DON’T do it for the data folder (just leave it copied without the linking)
Then go out of the root browser and restart your device. When you go to Application manager, you will see you are using only around 60 of the total available and will be able to download many apps.
Simple Method For Me
1.Make Partition of SD Card.
2.After flashing Rom with custom kernel say(Rafeal's).
3.Flash CronMod Unofficial-By Styrke.zip.
4.That's it No use of Link2sd and all .
Install as much app you want .

why unlink!? you can take a dump of your SD-Ext and put it back like this:
1. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2 (assuming that's your ext partition)
2. Buy new, bigger SD Card
3. Partition the same size you had for your SD-Ext (1GB for example)
4. Perform: dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
5. Resize the partition!
So you don't have to work your way again to do all the work from scratch =P
I think the script is better then this (just my opinion)
