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

I partitioned my sd card a while ago while still using stock rom, and it worked fine, I was linking apps to it using Link2sd no problem. Now I have flashed the miracle v4 rom and the partition cannot be mounted by Link2sd, even though there's still 1gb missing from the sd card space. help?

recreate mouting script! until the app recognized it ... first time i upartioned my sd it took me 3 atemps until it worked fine
After formatting sd-ext in CWM, it'll usually be in ext3. Select that when recreating mount scripts and reboot. Works in first attempt for ME
for the details you can take a look at the attachment of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27177965&postcount=3
I have the same problem with all roms that i have tried. Given that almost all my apps live on my ext2 partition, this is a big problem when i want to try out new roms. i dont want to have to install 100+ apps again even if i have them backup on titanium.
I want to keep my partition ext2. will recreating my mount script several times over work? or is there something else i should keep in mind?
Does cyanogen mod not support having an ext2 partition?
I updated my galaxy ace from 2.2.1 to gingerbread 2.3.6 then I rooted it and installed cm7.2 before that I made backup of gingerbread stock rom. And when I try to restore back on stock rom, it shows MSG, sd-ext file not found. What was the cause and what's use of that file?

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'

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.

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.

I recently rooted my s3 mini to JB 4.1.2 by faria and i was wondering why i cant install any more apps as my ram is used up by all my apps. is there a way to clear/wipe all this data and start from scratch installations or any way i can move this huge game files in android/obb to another location in my sdcard to save space for app installations on my phone memory.
also, i have tried directory bind,app2sd, lind2sd and gl to sd(root) none of them seems to be installing or working for me as i still face the prob with installation of the same app.
kindly help.

try changing default install location. possible with normal device options, dont remember where. or else use app2sd to change it.
although i have the same error, when trying to install anything on extsdcard (with enough room on it), with faria rom v5.1.
with leatherface v2 i didnt have the problem if i remember correct.
update:
i still have the problem too.
wiped dalvik, factory reset multiple times, cleaned odin files, although faria rom is also using odex?
phone works fine, but i only have 4,5gb max internal (fused internal and sdcard).
and i cant install anything to external. i selected the options *install to: autoselect by android, internal, or external.
i tried it with more then one app, like rom toolbox pro.
i also noticed that chaning it it one app, correctly alters it in another.
i asked this in q&a, and i read what i can searching the whole forum. still i wuold really like to know:
-is 4,5 gb max combined/fused is normal for s3 mini +faria rom)?
-is it normal to have .obb partition completely empty, even having installed multipple apps?
its 402mb, totally free.
And i have other partitions also 402 mb, totally free.
-/cache partitions remains at 14mb, whatever happends, even after changing usage of cache heavier and lighter.
-cant install anything on extsdcard.
-/mnt/sdcard shows in that directory, with root explorer, as linked to sdcard0.
same in root:/sdcard (not sdcard0!) linked to -> sdcard0
but it has no apps in it. and only some folders.
?i dont know if i am correct in assuming that "->" symbol in root explorer means: linked to.

no that is not what i mean exactly.
i do use link2sd now, to use my extsd 2nd partition. but it gives an error: installl_failed_insufficent storage.
even when i put it on auto.
when pressing create link, i get: i/o error.
what do you have selected to auto move to 2nd partition?
my primary question, has to do with the fused internal+sdcard phone memory (so not extsdcard), of faria firmware.
Phone sees the fused internal as,... internal memory.
and the phone sees my extsdcard as external sdcard.
i presumed the reason for this is to be able to install apps on ext sd too, by default. (so without link2sd or others).
because the problem as i see it is:
now i have less phone storage.
i still cannot install to external sd card.
i would really like to know
- what should be the benefits of this fused memory? why did faria do this?
- beacause now i have less or same memory, and no benefits.
-what i have to change in system mount, or fuse, to get back original non-fused.
- And/Or, how i can enable extsdcard to install to it too.
thanks
Have you tried with an ext4 partition on your external sd, for link2sd? I've read somewhere that it worked.
Otherwise Directorybind do work. I've binded the whole Android folder without any problems at all :good:

please do help...
found a solution (maybe?)
I personally had the same problem right after flashing a new rom on my i9100. I read through the script amd it was quite literally just unmounting and mounting the sd card again. I wasn't sure how it could possibly be a simple matter of mounting the sd card but it worked so I'm okay with that.
If you're on 4.1.2 then you can probably manually unmount and mount the sd card by going into system settings, storage and scroll down to sd card for unmount. It'll take a short while to unmount and another to mount again and check for errors. Not sure if you have to do this will ever boot but it beats not ever installing anything, right?

Hey guys,
I recently rooted my s3 mini to JB 4.1.2 by faria and i was wondering why i cant install any more apps as my ram is used up by all my apps. is there a way to clear/wipe all this data and start from scratch installations or any way i can move this huge game files in android/obb to another location in my sdcard to save space for app installations on my phone memory.
also, i have tried directory bind,app2sd, lind2sd and gl to sd(root) none of them seems to be installing or working for me as i still face the prob with installation of the same app.
kindly help.

if u used lucky patcher remove previous patches and stuff like that
Recently, i flashed my galaxy mini with cyanogenmod 10.1. Just after installation itself, the internal memory was almost 110MB used out of 178MB.
So i installed link2sd to solve my internal memory problem. But, at the time of mounting the second partition, it showed an error that i was out of storage space and that the mount script cannot be created. I made the second partition from CWM. I also tried partitioning it myself in ext2, ext4 and fat32 formats but still, the same error appeared. I dont remember if i tried with ext3.
After searching a bit about my problem and getting no help, i decided to try s2e. I downloaded and installed it from CWM. The problem is, i forgot to uninstall link2sd. After reboot, i couldn't find any apps named s2e. But, link2sd automatically started and now, it showed a mount warning which said:
"2nd partition is not mounted during boot time. it has been mounted after system finishes booting. Therefore, linked apps are not visible to system at the moment. To make them visible again, please try 'recreate mount scrips' or 'quick reboot' "
when i clicked on 'recreate mount scripts', the old error came up. So after rebooting again, i used the 'quick reboot' option and then link2sd seemed working. The problem is that, now, whenever i switch off and switch on the phone, i need to use the option 'quick reboot' from link2sd to make it work.
Any help to get rid of that problem?
And, another doubt: why was my internal memory almost 110MB used just after installing cyanogenmod? Is there any way i can free up more space?

i suffered with this issue too
currently using "fixed int2ext+ for android 4.2.1+" by CronicCorey.. the best in my opinion.. i guess there are many threads already for internal memory issues.
i really suggest int2ext+..

Thanks for replying. Int2ext leaves the \data\data inside internal memory itself right? As i've said, i have only about 68mb in internal memory because the rest had been occupied since i installed cyanogenmod. Is there any way i can clean up those files from internal memory? And also, my \system partition is almost full with just 4kb remaining. I just saw this in link2sd. Is this normal??
Or, another case, i would love to get link2sd fixed because i already did stuff up my phone with a lot of apps and also, i think its a really good app manager.

/system does not appear in the internal memory that u r referring to. \system is allocated a different memory i.e., about 207mb. Your ROM goes in there.
all the user apps data and cache is saved in /data. This is your Internal memory.
there are different versions of int2ext script. Go through the link i gave. There's one more:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879806
Read the details there.
briefly speaking, int2ext moves all the /data stuff onto the ext4 partition that u create on you sd card.
int2ext+ leaves /data/data in the internal memory.
I am using fixed-int2ext+ and I have more than about 105 apps installed on my phone and the /data/data/ size is about 145 mb.. leaving about 35mb free on internal memory. My phone is super smooth.
In u prefer int2ext, then you can practically store any number of apps (limited only by your ext4 partition size. But the phone gets laggy and slow. I have tried both and i prefer int2ext+.
Also, if you are using the latest CM10.1 nightly by rohan007, you'll still have about 19mb or so free on /system.

i did a data and cache reset today and still, the internal data memory is almost 110MB used. That means i have only about 70MB left even after data reset. And yes, i am using CM10.1 (02-04-2013 update) nightly by rohan007 and still, the system partition has only 4KB left.
I did go through the different int2ext scripts. Possibly, i think int2ext+ would be better.
Anyways, today, after doing a complete reset, the home key stopped working. Also i found a few other bugs in the notification drawer. So i just deleted that rom and i'm trying baltrom now. It seems pretty smooth than the other cm 10.1. Also, it had the int2ext+ so the memory problem solved for now. And one more thing, I'M DONE WITH LINK2SD!
Lol.. I never faced that issue.. Been using cm10.1 for more than a month now.. And I flashed this ROM many times.. No such issues at all.. I wonder what went wrong.. Anyways.. Enjoy with int2ext+..

I think i found out why home button stopped working. If we have installed gapps, doing a data reset can produce problems(like, home button not working) and we'll have to flash the rom again to fix it. Thats what happened, I THINK. I read something similar in the forum. Thats how i came to this conclusion.

Next time while flashing the ROM, could you try this method?

Try that. May be you can have a clean flash and may be everything will be better.
