[Q] Link2SD problem - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Can it be done with a stock rom? Just trying to tweak stock to the very end..

For the stock you require a kernel with init.d support ( Fire kernel is good one) n aftr this you can try cron mod.
Hit thnx if helpd.

I'm sure you can use link2D, take a look here and see what you should do.

FIRE KERNEL WORKS IN CM7 ROMS!!! NOT IN STOCK ROMS!!
You need to flash Cf-Root, nims, Battery Extender kernels

Follow these steps...
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.
You are done. Reboot your fone to see the difference...

I tried the tutorial.. I searched here on XDA folowed lots of tuts.. Saying basically all the same. Create ext2 or fat32 partition and link.
Well i tried, rebooted and my internal memory is still full!
Oh well nice try Gingerbread let's try out CM 10.1 for a while

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.

Is it possible without flashing kernel?
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

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

you need a ext4 partition on your sd card and an app which enables you moving apps to sd like "link2sd", "s2e" or similar. And you need to root your phone.
Look a bit around in the ace section here on xda and youll find everything you need

Just switch off your phone before removing sd card.

you must create ext3 or ext4 primary partition on your sdcard. to create partition, install mini tool partition wizard to your pc. then you can use link2sd to link dalvik caches to your sdcard. or, if you use cm7 as your rom, you can install s2e. to remove system apps, use link2sd

Are you linking the apk, dex and lib files or just installing (moving) apps to sd? You should create link to free up your internal space.
Take it from my experience. I used stocklite for almost 5 months with link2sd. Linked all apps except for those with widgets or that i needed at boot left on internal. 80 apps, 50 mb free on internal.
If you change to cyanogenmod you won't have more internal space, same space, different rom. When you do the required wipes with cwm (which you should to install cyano roms) it will format and erase the partition. You'll still have your partitioned sd card, but all info in that partition will be gone.

I installed Cyno Mod 7 ROM and it works just fine and i have partitioned again and everything is fine now..but i backuped my stocklite and i dont have the original ROM which i used even before rooting how to get that 'the real one which i had when i bought the phone?' if i have that one ..i can change it to anytime when i want..
Carrier specific roms are harder to find than free roms. Go to sammobile and check if they have the rom that came with your phone.
The stock roms are all installed through your computer with odin and your phone in download mode.

[Q] Internal Memory

Hello.
My girlfriend's s5830i is always givin her the low memory storage error.
She has got Mindcr ROM, rooted, with apptoSD, and every app in the SD.
She hasnt got many apps, only over 10 (installed by herself). I have moved all contacts to her google acount, and I have deleted all SMS.
Can I made a partition in the SD for get more internal memory or something like that? I have heard that with ROM Manager app I will break the phone.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks you.
Go into the cwm recovery then go to advanced. Adter that select parition sdcard. Then select the size and wait until it's ready. Then search in the development section for cronmod script and install it through cwm. It will move everything of your apps directly in the sdcard so you have just 1 - 10 mb use in internal memory.

Thanks you but, this will make the phone believe that it has got for exemple 1gb ROM memory? I mean, I will install app without worry about internal space after do this?
Is there any post about install/use cwm recovery in s5830i?

Sorry, she has got Link2SD and every possible app in the SD card,I would like to improve the internal memory for put in the phone apps without limits of space...
Maybe some partition that makes the phone believe that it has got more rom or whatever. What do you have? When you install an app in the SD it takes some internal memory too...

I have 53 apps installed and still 59MB internal memory free.
When using Link2SD choose the option 'create link' instead of 'move to sd card'

F*ck yeah... you crazy... over 100 apps ? !
Try this. Darktremor automatically put apps to sd-card.
but this rom is running on 2.3.7(although with ics/jb interface) the guide u gave me is for cm9 or 10.
ps some of those apps were very small like chainfire etc

[Q] link2sd help!!

i have sgm with sandisk 16gb class 4 sd card. using cwm i partitioned my sd to ext3 4096mb size and 0swap.
when i did this in stock rom(earlier) my phone was stuck in a permanent boot loop and i had to reflash stock rom using odin.
when i tried this with a rom (xtreme g 2.3.7) it worked fine (at least i think so coz sd size shows 11.01 gb from 14.83gb) i installed link2sd and started installing apps. whenever internal memory got full i would go to link2sd and move each app to sd by choosing move to sd card and then again install apps till my phone got stuck in bootloop i had to wipe data using cwm.
what is the mistake? is the partition too high or i made a mistake in link2sd or what?
PS could someone tell me how to use link2sd(which options to tick to make apps move to sd ext? ive googled a bit but cant find anything
Y dont u use s2e ... ? If u have rooted ur phone and have cynogen mod it should work fine ..... s2e is better bcoz it automatically stores everything on sd ..... just an opinion
Ps : i dont think there is a mistake in the partitioning process u followed....

i have sgm with sandisk 16gb class 4 sd card. using cwm i partitioned my sd to ext3 4096mb size and 0swap.
when i did this in stock rom(earlier) my phone was stuck in a permanent boot loop and i had to reflash stock rom using odin.
when i tried this with a rom (xtreme g 2.3.7) it worked fine (at least i think so coz sd size shows 11.01 gb from 14.83gb) i installed link2sd and started installing apps. whenever internal memory got full i would go to link2sd and move each app to sd by choosing move to sd card and then again install apps till my phone got stuck in bootloop i had to wipe data using cwm.

[Q] Galaxy ace gts 5830 ex4 thunderbolt v4

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
the other two files I downloaded are there .multi root etc but not the script zip/binary.
thanks for links and your efforts to help. great forum!

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!
