I am looking forward to make a partition of my SD Card to allow easier installation of apps.
I have a 16GB Micro-SD Card and i'm looking forward to make a 4GB Partition.
I've heard of amarullz script and I definitely want to use it.
I searched XDA Alot, and i found out that there are different partition types. So if someone could kindly answer these questions, It would be great:
1) Can you give me a simple and efficient guide on how to partition using CWM, or anything else?
2) What partition type should i use.
3) Does Amarullz script need to be configured or it's the simple flashing.
4) Is there any way to automatically move apps to sd-ext without apps like S2E. I think the scripts do that but i'm not sure.
Thanks.

1 no, use search and check the stickies. Cwm and partition guides are all over the place. Reading several guides to do it will help you in case something doesn't go as planned.
2 depends. Stock roms work better with fat32 and ext2 partitions. Custom roms work good with any ext format partition. Cwm creates ext3 format partitions, for other formats use another partitioning tool (minitool partition wizard).
3 just flash it and reboot twice. It needs a kernel that supports /init.d, which most custom roms have, and stock roms can be flashed with cf-root to enable /init.d.
4 yeah, the scripts do it. There are several, amarullz is one, there's also int2ext++ and darktremors (this one requires some user input though). Look them up, make your call.

oK..
Any link to a simple and efficient guide on partitioning??
Just a tip. Never go beyond 1GB SD-ext size. You'll just wait it coz app size are about 20-30 mb (the bigger ones) and you'll not be installing that much on your phone.
About partitioning you can just do it via CWM recovery.

Okk..
I just wanted to install over 10 pages of apps.
I heard partitioning through CWM makes an ext3 partition, and ext3 partitions are not supported.
One question: I'm following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476121
If i use minitool partition wizard and follow the instructions there. will amarullz script work?
And will it work on all roms like cm7, cm9 and stock????
Thanks.
Ext4 has been said around as unstable. *need to research more on this one*
Yes, CWM makes ext3 partition.
If you're using CM7 based ROM I'd suggest using S2E. Supports ext3, no errors whatsoever, 1GB is more than enough for over 100 apps, and make sure the SD Card is class 6 or higher, otherwise you might face performance issues. It's just install, tick and forget. Unlimited *theoretically* apps can be installed then
I do not have any idea on Amarulzz script though,
This Page might help
So what's the best partition??
If i follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
Will it succesfully get me the result?

Yes that's a good guide.
Ok. Great.
Final Question: What Partition type should i use? Ext2, Ext3 or Fat32??
It should work good with amarullz script and with stock and cm7 roms...
Damn. I try deleting partition through minitool and after that my sd card isn't recognized, it says damaged.
though i fixed it with a format. :/

Okk. I've finished the first step according to the guide.
Well. According to the guide "Step 2". and created the fat32 primary partition. Now on step 3 i'm kind of clueless. coz i can't click create new partition as it is greyed out.
I think i'm just gonna use CWM.
What's the procedure to use CWM, to partition for 4gb?? and then use amarullz??

Thanks. I partitioned.
Now, I'm going to use amarullz script. I see that it needs to be copied to init.d.
Isn't there any way to make a flashable zip coz i change roms aloot.

Hy everybody,
My question is at the bottom
Internal memory is not enough on galaxy ACE ? sd card can be partitioned and used with "llink2sd" as internal memory.
I did :
- Using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition I partitioned SD card to two primary fat32 partitions.
- I rebooted my phone with sd card in it
- EXPECTED it to be mounted correctly, to run Link2SD to format second partition to ext3 or keep it fat32 or wathever.
BUT :
Android says that sd card is damaged
Reasons :
- Android expects one partition formatted in FAT32 with no MBR (?) in the begining of the memory :silly:
Solution :
- Partition memory with a tool that can tell Android how to read MBR or how to deal with multi partition sd card. tools like Rom manager.
My question is, is there another way to tell Android how to deal with my sd card ? without changing the rom ? using for example terminal emulator ? or can you please explain to me how I can use Rom manager to partition ? cause I didn't succeed with it.
and pleeease I'm just fed up with answers like :
"but why do you need to partition ?"
"why don't u just use app2sd ?"
"why don't you get a girlfriend instead of spending all your time on a phone that you hate ?"
NB : I updated my phone manually to 2.3.6 then rooted it. I don't want to use custom roms EXCEPT if you give me a hint about the best roms arround
Thank you in advance
I used cwm to partition my sd card and it works fine

1. you can re-partition your sd card to one partition (FAT, I think) by partitioning software
2. boot Clockworkmod recovery (Home + Power)
3. Advanced > partitioning sd card
4. Choose how much you want
5.done
6.Finally I suggest you install PSN Memory Mod

No you only need to install PSN.
It is a DATA2EXT SCRIPT. I am happy with it.
I prefer SD-EXT > 1GB, its enough, and you need a Class 6 sdcard

Welcome to the forum.
Our Ace (and other phones) doesn't recognize a SD card partitioned with MiniTool Partition Wizard.
Instead download CWM 5 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291327
Then turn the phone off. Reboot into recovery mode by holding the power and the home button till the Samsung logo appears for the second time. Choose apply update from SD card and install CWM.
Reboot into recovery again. This time there should be the CWM recovery.
Select Advanced > Partition sdcard
But backup the data on your SD card using your computer before doing that and restore them afterwards.
Then reboot the phone and Link2SD and the OS will recognize the card. However, this method will create an ext partition which is better for that use.
For ROMs:
This is the best I have found so far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173576
If you want Cm, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212438 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2199575

Works with any kernel, any Rom. But backup everything on your memory card before partitioning. Partitioning erases everything on it. And by the way, if the commands I gave on my thread haven't worked for you, check for my previous post on the thread. These commands must work on gingerbread and the ones in op should work for cm10.1

Actually, you can use Minitool Partition Wizard to be use with Link2SD.
First make sure your phone is rooted.
Second, by using minitool make 2 partition on sd card.
First Partition make sure It PRIMARY and file system is FAT32
Second Partition also make sure it PRIMARY and file system is EXT3 or EXT4
(I would like to recommend EXT3 because many roms support this file system)
Install the Link2SD, open the app, select the file system and reboot.
You will get your Link2SD worked.
ps : How about using Final S'Periance rom with Memory Mod kernel. Just do the SD Card Partition and flash the rom. All your problem with internal memory will gone.

Link2SD will work but your first partition won't be recognized, at least in Jelly Bean.

well let's start again! you need to create an ext partition, use mini partition tools, here it is a tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142844, until point 11!... avoid the rest of them and finally install the rom following the instructions
Edit: the rom is using the int2ext script, so right "/data" partition is symlinked to your sd-ext partition, so maybe it is the problem

i have ext partion.
i have created ext 4 with mini tool but i didnt use link2sd .
if i didt understand wrong, this methot moves the flashed roms. the rom i ask about flash directly sd (i think). because i couldn open the phone without partion. when i look memory i see the created part as phone memory. i couldnt understand about it. should i use link2sd in this case. if i do link2sd steps ,will the problems end?

According what you said the script is working, so Link2sd is NOT neccesary.
Int2ext increase de internal memory, this script mount your sd-ext partiotin and link it with /data partition, so if you created a 512mb ext partition, you should see about 5120mb as internal memory.
The rom is under construction, you can also try to start again as I said you following all the steps
as you said i have same internal memory.
i ll follow all steps . should i create ex4 or ext2. I read ext4 is better for class10. and one more question will bugs end after this

If you have a class 6 or 10 sdcard make a ext4 partition, if not you can also use an ext4 partition but it will do a little slower your rom.
I can't guarantee that everything will work well, but It should, note that the rom as I said you before, is under construction so It've several bugs, you can try another rom CM10 by Mardon, Oldroid or Bieltv3 e.g. or a Stock based rom
I like this rom s wiev. I havent use ext portion and I want to learn .also I didn't see any bad thing about it.
When I see bugs I think I have made a mistake. Now I know what should I do. If won't work I'll try another.
You are very patient. Thanks alot.

I managed to move my apps to SD (Titanium Backup) with success but i still get the anoying message internal storage error. ( It's FULL)
Now i searched a bit further and found the app Link2SD, every review is positive so i gave it a try.
It doesn't work like it should :s it creates a link to my ext2 partition on 16 GB C10 card but it DOUBLES the internal storage of my apps... Am i doing something wrong?
The app isn't giving me more internal space, it just messes up my internal storage alot more .. First i had like 24-25mb free, after linking 2 apps ( airdroid and playstore ) i only got 15mb left?
Please help me out!

1. Flash a kernel supporting init.d like Battery Extender Kernel or PSN Kernel.
2. Partition ur sd card.
3. Install Link2sd> Create Scripts of partition type.
4. Filter apps by USER.> Select all apps.
5. CREATE LINK.

To create a partition, reboot into a custom recovery like cwm, go to advanced & select partition sd card. Select swap as zero. Now download int2ext+, reboot into recovery, mount system & flash it. Now format sd ext & reboot. Done.

I tried init.d support ( which doesn't work ) so i think i really need other kernel or maybe another rom ?
Trying CM 10.1 with stock kernel instead of GB
I'm a noob on development and things.. Just like to try out new things and folow them up. I never flashed a kernel / ROM before so i really don't know which kernel is better

To create a partition, reboot into a custom recovery like cwm, go to advanced & select partition sd card. Select swap as zero. Now download int2ext+, reboot into recovery, mount system & flash it. Now format sd ext & reboot. Done.

Did you get it working? Just flashed CWM..
But i read something about init.d support which my kernel doesn't have, so which kernel are you using ( as you got the same phone )
Thanks!

Int2ext scripts and link2sd work fine in stock roms.
I posted that, you need a custom kernel to enable init.d support well there is a way to enable ir without flashing any kernel but the fastest way to enable it is using a CUSTOM KERNEL, so I advise you to use BATTERY EXTENDER 1.5.1 . Flash it via CWM

Hey, this is my first post on XDA and i really need some help
When i was reading on the forum about moving data and apps to SD i got stuck..
I got a rooted Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 with 2.3.5 stock rom.
I managed to move my apps to SD (Titanium Backup) with success but i still get the anoying message internal storage error. ( It's FULL)
Now i searched a bit further and found the app Link2SD, every review is positive so i gave it a try.
It doesn't work like it should :s it creates a link to my ext2 partition on 16 GB C10 card but it DOUBLES the internal storage of my apps... Am i doing something wrong?
The app isn't giving me more internal space, it just messes up my internal storage alot more .. First i had like 24-25mb free, after linking 2 apps ( airdroid and playstore ) i only got 15mb left?
Please help me out!
Thanks

i had 98mb internal mb free with loads of apps when i was done
Hi Guys can anyone help me with partitioning the sd card on my galaxy ace 1.I have downloaded and installed the thunderbolt v4 rom "which I really like. Trouble is following various methods mini partition and apart inc . I cannot get the rom to see my sd card.
I have tried partitioning the ex4 before the fat 32 and after. and vis versa. but nothing enables the rom to see the second fat 32 partition. I have wiped the sd card "overnight and started afresh, still no go.
Thanks in advance for any adeas /help

Try partitioning via the following method then wipe data, cache and dalvik and then install the rom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U_Sp_BtzrM I'm sure the guy is using that rom and it works for him.
If not i can't really help apart from suggesting using "Super Stock" rom instead. It's very fast and stable and swap works perfect.
Thanks
Thanks I'll have to concentrate and try to go through it slowly. I don't remember seeing swap in the original rom installation instruction. or do I know what it is!
The battery life improvement of thunderbolt rom is one of the reasons it appealed to me . Does the super stock rom have good battery life?
Thanks Brian UK

The version 4 specs of thunderbolt does say: "Kernel changed to Battery extender swapall v3 supersu 0.97"
So yes it should work. The Super Stock rom has a battery extender kernel too with cronmod (for swap).
I think in thunderbolt the swapall is enabled by default whereas in Super stock you have to choose the cronmod option during install of the rom.
Unfortunately i made a big boo boo with my ace and now it's a doorstop. If it was working i'd install thunderbolt so i could help better but i know for a fact superstock works perfect.
Formatting the sd in CWM is simple, format in fat 32 via pc first then put the sd in the ace, boot into recovery, go to advanced and choose "partition SD", select the size of the ext partition and on the next screen set it to "0m" and that should do the trick for thunderbolt.
With superstock and the mini tool i had setup 9gb of internal memory. I was loving it until i decided to try the Miui v4 rom. Do not touch that rom whatever you do!!!!!!!!
ta I'll give it a go and report back
Ok ta .Ill give it a go and report back
still same
Hi ,I tried as suggested , the max partition under clockwork was 4 gig, which I set "My card is 32gig"
I rebooted and still the same . Link to sd give the same script error ! I noticed the partition is ex2 . ! Thunderbolt is supposed to have ex4?.
Could the sd card be getting tired . it must be getting fed up with constant wipes etc

You shouldn't need to use a third party app like link2sd. LOL @ "it must be getting fed up with constant wipes". Although wiping does slowly decrease the life of an sd card, modern sd cards that are good makes have like 100,000 write cycles so your contribution is minimal. Why the sd is ext2 after formating with cwm i don't know. Which version of cwm are you using? Try the latest if you're not already using it. (just really stabbing at thin air but worth a try)
If that fails or if you're using the latest i can't really help any further with the thunderbolt rom and i'd bet you'd rather use more of that sd for internal anyway so as i suggested b4 go with the superstock rom. The mini tool definately works with that so you could partition more space.
I'm trying to find a an old fan speed controller i can use as a variable resistor to try and revive my phone. If it works i'll be able to help more with thunderbolt, depends on my luck.

mmm... "Thunderbolt is supposed to have ex4" It means all the device partitions are in .ext4 and yeah it support .ext4 as external partition
@Way333 AFAIK there is NOT Thundebolt kernel for GT-S5830 but rather GT-S5830i
ex4
Does that mean that there should be no fat32 for media files? How would I imput them then if the computer could not see the partition?

To create an external partition you need to format your sdcard and to partition it in 2 partitions:
1. FAT32 (Primary partition)
2. ext4 (512 mb is enough)
Use MiniTool Partition to do it

Hi again ,I got sidetracked but back on the phone case now. I have downloaded the suggested script 2+
and placed it into root . however when I try to access it .it is not seen by clockwork 5

Download the flashable zip and flash it via CWM following the steps I've posted, it should work mate
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43312058&postcount=6
still same
I have followed instructions carefully but . I still have the same issue that the download link is seen as an install icon
not as a normal winzup file like the other available downloads. I can see the downloaded file via "my files" but not via cwm 5.0.2.6 Anon
I found that the middle link on the xda site gives me a winzip file 2+
I have followed instructions to install script zip .But looking at the sd partitions via mini tool
i see that the second partition is identified as "other". and trying to use it in the phone gives me the same script error as previosly. I don't see an option in cwm to format as ex4 ?

CronMod OFFICIAL Thread
CWM can't create .ext4 partitions you'll need to create it using minitools partition, gparted or similar
How to then
I am just following the steps in your instructions ,ie op 8 /format sdext
intended for thunderbolt rom?
No further forward
I'm gettin nowhere quickly with this memory mod. I also have new issues . I keep needing to reboot to get wifi to connect.
This did not happen before. maybe time to try another rom

:weird: maybe a rom problem?
If you have created corre tly a .ext4 you can test if it's working using Link2sd app
I'm finding the script error via link 2sd . I've just checked the ex4 partition using a parted ,There is an error sign but no explanation. Deleting and redoing
the ex4 partition gives me the same error. In the interim i've ordered a smaller sd card. This still leaves me with the need to reboot for wifi to connect. Shame as i otherwise like the rom!
