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

Hi
I am on Xperia Z1, rooted, locked bootloader, .757, SDFix access fix, with dual recovery. I have an app call Link2SD and it requires to have a second partition on my sd card. They said to use a software called MiniTool... My question is, how do I proceed to partition my SD card without breaking anything like the installed Dual Recovery?

partitioning your SD card will not break dual recovery
However, I think you may find link2sd wont work on Z1
I never managed to get it to work on any FW with my Z1
and TBH, I don't really find the need for it anymore. I used it on my x10 and Xperia T but I have never run out of space yet on my z1

I've successfully partitioned my SD Card with secondary primary parition set to ext2. Link2SD (linking) works except it doesn't link Android/data/ and Android/obb/ I 've contacted the developer to ask about it.

got any reply/solution from developer?
Well the next two days he provided the update to paid users for the /data part. But apparently /obb not yet. He briefly explained to me /obb is complicated because it is not linkable natively.
Hi MrLascivious,
How do you handle to get link2sd working in your phone?
I have an Xperia Z1 compact (original stock, kitkat 4.4.4 and rooted, bootloader lock), but link2sd can´t even mount the second partition.
It says: "App2SD is not supported by your device...."
Any idea?

I am not sure about your Z1 compact. I only have Z1 and KitKat 4.4.2. Have you tried asking the developer of link2sd? Mine found the partition so everything was straightforward as I remember.
Hi everyone!
I wanted to put some big apps on my SD card, and I thought I can use Link2SD for this, like I have succesfully done it on my old HTC Desire HD.
Today I tryed the same as with my old phone, but it ends with a bootloop. So maybe someone can help me to use it on my XZR.
First of all I rooted my Xperia ZR with Towelroot succesful, then installed supersu. Everything works well. Bootloader is still closed.
After that I partitionated my SD Card like on the old phone. 2 GB should be enough for the sdext partition I want to use with link2sd. I formatted it with 4ext system.
Now I installed link2sd and make the mount script and made a reboot ------> Bootloop!
I deleted the made partiton to solve the bootloop and deinstalled link2sd, So I can use my ZXR again. But I need space in intern memory.
What can I do? Does Link2SD dont work with Xperia ZR?
This was the reason of root, to run such a programm. Maybe someone can help me.
Greatings Lemmi.
Dear Lemmi,
you are not the only one with this problem. My Xperia V also goes into bootloop since 4.3 (before it worked fine). However, using the search I found the following fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m/general/towel-root-steps-to-root-t2789990
I did not try it yet, but others did and it sounds very promising. If you had luck with that, just post it here or there so other users can profit from that information

In desperate need for Link2SD on ZR, is there a way?
How to get Link2SD to work:
When you have root install the remount reboot fix befor you try to make the boot script with link2sd!!!!! After installing the fix it will work fine!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...b-definitive-root-remount-reboot-fix-t2317432
Thats as far i know the only and easyiest way to get Link2SD running on Xperia ZR
Apparently it fixed my problem. I owe you my life. THANKS!
is there anyway to make link2sd work if i installed reboot-remount fix after creating the boot script with link2sd?
as i didn't know about reboot fix, so i installed link2sd first and created the boot script.and as a result it goes into bootloop.then i came across the reboot fix.but after successfully applying the reboot fix, it's still not working.goes into bottloop.i tried both ext2, ext3 parition.

Hello everyone!
I flashed my XZR from Kitkat to Lollipop a view days ago.
After flashing I had 1 GB lower internal memory left, than a had before.
In detail, I had about 2 GB of memory left, when I started the download over OTA. The file loaded on my XZR and than it flashed. After end of flashing and reboot, only 800 MB to 1 GB internal memory are free now.
Could it be, that lollipop need 1 GB more internal memory as kitkat? I am confused now, cause I need more space in internal memory.
What happend and what can I do?
Greetings Lemmi.
Yes, lollipop needs more internal memory. Because lollipop is ART based, kitkat was Dalvik...
But 1GB, that is very much cause of only 8GB internal storage.
Try moving the apps to your SD. That's why I did to free up space from the internal storage.

Yes I tryed this already, but it dont helps much. Maybe I have to change to another smartphone with more than only 8 GB of internal memory.
Dont wanna go back to Kitkat, cause I think Lollipop runs smoother and better.
Think about rooting, but I think not everything works well right now on XZR and Lollipop with root and maybe there is no working recovery for it and the secong is I dont wanna open bootloader.
Maybe Link2SD could work and solve this storage problem. Aktually the app2sd function isnt enough on my side.

I have now installed about 100 apps (phone say it took 4,39GB - 900MB Free). After 60 apps installed phone say full storage, so i try scan by Xplore and I find in root folder one rly big folder. That folder is /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache that I deleted and get around 1500MB of space. Seems to be some like thrash from Google Play Store. Root needed.
Ok, that helps me a lot. I will go on and root my XZR again. Think it is simple.
And by the way I read in your signatur that you have root and no recovery.
Here is the way to get a working recovery:
http://www.naldotech.com/install-xzdualrecovery-xperia-devices-android-5-0-lollipop/
I will try it out, when I have root, but I think it will work!

All you need is Link2SD, I have a lot of apps installed on my phone, yet I still have over 2GB of free memory left
Do link2sd really work with our xperia zr? Cause on 4.4.4 we must do a workaround, cause if dont you end in a bootloop.
Can I use it without any problems on Lollipop now? I will try it, but it could be better, when I know problems before they happen
An how big you make the sdext partition on sdcard?
Just tried FolderMount for ColorDict and Telegram and both work fine.

There's no need for any workaround. I have an 8GB SD card (I don't know its class right now, doesn't matter), and I've split it 5 - 2:
-5GB for the sdcard1 partition,
-2,2GB for the sdext partition, which the Link2SD app uses.
There is a guide that tells you how to format your SD card right, the best way is via the MiniTool Partition Wizard.
If you've selected ext2 in that app, you want to select EXT4 in Link2SD. That way, when you reboot, everything will be fine.
This is because I've seen many bugs when it comes to creating mount scripts - you select ext2, but when you reboot, nothing happens.
Ok, good news.
I knew link2sd well from my old smartphone.
But I always formated the sdext partition with ext4 and normaly it worked. Hope so here too, cause it may be faster.
My SD is about 32 GB, so I can make a bigger partiton. But I think 2 GB should be best.

So do I. The guys at the Xperia M section helped me out a lot with Link2SD
Right now I had made a sdext partition of 2 GB and formated it 4ext.
After starting link2sd and setting mountscript to 4ext I get a bootloop Dont work!
Think I need a fix or a new remount boot fix for XZR. Think the old for kitkat will not work or will it?
Hello people.
Just updated my ZR to lollipop, yet I am suffering form the lack of internal storage, moving apps to my 64gb SD card seems useless, it refuses to transfer large data files to the SD card, like OALD 8 have a 450 mb data file that needed to be placed in the internal storage.
the ZR is really nice fast device but it`s internal storage is so horrible that makes you think seriously about changing the phone .
any help how to free some internal storage with out root?

Try uninstalling apps that you don't use. ARTS in Lollipop needs much more space than Dalvik, so every app counts. This is also true for system app. I uninstall several system apps, mostly from Sony. Then most important of all, after all these, wipe Dalvik and cache in recovery and let the system re-create them again. This process increase the free internal space from 500MB to > 1GB for me.

No you need root.
Dear All ,
I have searched XDA , there is some information on Link2SD here and there , but no specific thread about Link2Sd and Lollipop 5.0.2 on Xperia Z/ZR/ZL , so decided to open one.
I have Xperia ZR (C5502) , Stock Lollipop 5.0.2 rooted with Locked Bootloader.
Busybox Installed , SuperSU installed and everything works fine.But unable to use Link2SD , the same issue ..........bootloop after creating a double partion in SD Card (1st ----- exfat 2nd------ext4) then creation of Link2SD script , then reboot , then bootloop.
Also tried initd , univarsal initd , but problem remains.
Before that I have successfully installed and used Link2SD on stock Kitkat 4.4.4 rooted.
So if anyone can give some guidance, I think same will be applied on Z/ZL also
I have same problem, same configuration.
In my case the bootloop apears when a had made the second partition with ext4 (2GB) and I try to reboot. Only without this partition my XZR boots normaly.
Nut is making a dualrecovery with a remount bootfix included. But its not finished right now. Maybe this could be a solution.
Lp has move to SD.....no need for L2SD, plus that app destroys cards
With Move to SD I have only 600 MB spare space on internal memory. Need more, cause I need the apps.
thanks to all
i am waiting for nut dual recovery then
and yes Lollipop has native App2SD , but that does not as complete as Link2SD
Native App2SD can not move an application completely (incl dex file , obb , cache etc) External SD which Link2SD can
Stock Lollipop Have App2SD Feature But I Cant See It In My Phone How Can I Do That
Tried the old remount reboot fix, but it seems not to work on lollipop.
I am now on about 600 MB free space in internal and after a while my XZR warns me of low memory. But need the apps I have installed.
Everything is transfert to sd with app2sd thats integrated, but it is not enough. With Kitkat I dont had this problems, but wont go back.

Anyone knows NUT latest news about dual recovery and remountrebootfix for Lollipop 5.0.2 ?
Thanks
New version of NUT dual recovery has been released , any chance to get a new version of Remountrebootfix so that we can use Link2SD again on XZR Lollipop 5.0.2

In the patchenotes stay something about that. Normally it should work now. Maybe you can try it and post success here

How big is your partition for link2sd?
Mine is actually 2 GB but thinking about making it bigger. Hope it will work.
