way better to use than App2SD App and/or the App2SD script that most of us are using with the XT720
Thumbs up To get Link2SD working the XT720...
Thanks to Riley600
I've worked with the developer and found the issue. Motorola phones can't mount the ext2 partition and need to install the ext2.ko file (this file is installed when you install app2sd).
Unfortunately, right now the steps are manual to install this (otherwise the apk would largely increase in size). But once this is done (you need root access, obviously), Link2SD will work. I used Root Explorer to copy ext2.ko to the necessary directory - however, I'm sure it can be done using adb commands. I'm not confident enough with my adb skills to give instructions based on that - so if someone else knows better than I, please feel free to give your own instructions.
1) Download the ext2.ko file (zip attached)
2) Extract it to your SD card
3) Use Root Explorer to navigate where you extracted it to and copy the file
4) Navigate to /system/lib/modules/ and paste the ext2.ko file there
5) Reboot - Link2SD should now mount the ext2 partition and function correctly!
Currently, if you link a file to the SD card, it will not show up in the Market until it is unlinked. The developer is looking into a solution for this. Otherwise, it's a solid program - I've left my Home Launcher (ADW) on the phone's memory which seems to have reduced stuttering and slowdowns from when it was installed on the SD card with app2sd.
I'll try to answer any other questions about the installation of this program on the XT720 if you have any.
Thanks to Bulent for working with me to find a solution to the issue with Motorola phones!

How does one removed an already installed version of App2SD (via the script) and retain all their programs? I searched it and some people seem to indicate that you have to reflash your phone...

Any tips on getting this to work? I tried setting up my SD card with both the "Mini free" tool & gParted live CD & the app won't recognize my ext2 partition.
same here I tried his new version too
Sent from my Milestone XT720 using XDA App
I have the same issue as the others. It says it can't mount my partition but it's there and worked with app2sd. Any suggestions?
So, is it not working?

Doesn't seem like it. I provided the developer with some info about our phone so hopefully he can use that to get it working with the XT720.

I've made small change in the application and released 1.0.5. What I did for Motorola users is to add insmod line to install-recovery.sh script if /system/lib/modules/ext2.ko file exists.
In this way all you have to do manually is to copy ext2.ko file to modules directory and then install link2sd.
You can install latest version from the app thread.
Thanks to Riley for his contribution.
nice i'll try this when i get home in about 20 mins... ur the men... lol
I havent tried apps2sd, but this seems like an very creative app that i'll have to give a try

That means first four steps in Riley's instruction are sufficient, after these you can install link2sd-1.0.5 and start using.

I've no idea if it is due to the fact that my SD card is malfunctioning, but after following steps I still received the error when I open the app. So I ran the install-recovery.sh script through terminal apparently and got the below message
Any ideas?
# sh install-recovery.sh
insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/ext2.ko' failed (File exists)
mount: No such file or directory

Did you set up a ext2 partition on your SD card? You need both a Fat32 partition and a ext2 partition. Instruction on how to set that up on your SD card are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
Once you do that and then follow my instructions with the ext2.ko I posted here, it should work (it did for me).

Strange, not sure what the problem is then.
New xt720 user here, i havent done the app2sd and froyo jit yet but was planning of doing it til i found this thread. If installing link2sd requires you to unistall the app2sd how do I install the jit as instructed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7909401&postcount=52
basically i want to install links2sd and jit, would it be a whole new process?sorry for my ignorance.

check this out... this is what i've found in the directory /dev/block/vold through adb
Code:
pwd
/dev/block/vold
# ls -l
ls -l
brw-rw---- root root 179, 1 2011-01-25 10:04 179:1
brw-rw---- root root 179, 0 2011-01-25 10:03 179:0
#
i guess my ext2 partition is 179:1, should i edit my install-recover.sh file for this?
Edit: didn't work, i guess my ext2 partition is not being recognized. i'll try to find a linux machine and see if i can partition with Gparted
Odd, did you put the ext2.ko file in the correct directory? I was running into similar problems until I had the file in the directory noted and then the command to install it.
Thanks
Works perfect I checked yesterday. Greetings from Guatemala. Sorry for the English but the Google translator xD.

There are a lot of ways of moving /data to SD ext(2nd) partition. Here I'll show you an easy way to do it which is fully compatible with Samsung Galaxy ACE(and possibly other devices as well). If you don't like the method used here, try other Data2SD/ext mod which may suit your needs.
Why move dalvik-cache to RAM? Basically, the idea of moving the whole /data partition to SD ext partition is to primarily get more space for installing apps. And in this case, it does perform very well and combined with fast SD cards, it could even provide real-life performance boost. Now the downside to this, is that while most /data contents just get copied and read not that much often, dalvik-cache stores some info that needs to be read and updated very frequently. This results in a high I/O read/write frequency and thus results in shortening of the SD card life(in theory, the same could also be said when left internally but this time dealing damage to the nand disk instead). To counter this, the method I used is to move dalvik-cache to a virtual-disk like partition known as a tmpfs. tmpfs resides in RAM and has dynamic resizing structure which can allocate space depending on your needs. This way, dalvik-cache won't be using any physical disk and therefore causing damage to none. Almost too good to be true right? Well the drawback is, because tmpfs resides in RAM anything written onto it get's lost when rebooted or in-case of power loss thus resulting in loooong boot times(depending on the apps installed), as dalvik-cache contents are being rebuilt on every boot. Well I think that's enough of dalvik-cache and lets start with the mod.
WARNING
USING A NON-APP2SD / NON A2SD / NON-LINK2SD ROM OR SIMPLY UNINSTALLING NON-APP2SD / NON A2SD / NON-LINK2SD IS STRICTLY RECOMMENDED
DO NOT EVEN TRY THIS MOD IF YOU HAVE ANY FORM OF NON-APP2SD / NON A2SD / NON-LINK2SD INSTALLED
ALWAYS PERFORM A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING OUT STUFF LIKE THESE
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything bad happening in the world blah blah, you know the drill!
Put the files of Data2SD_for_SGA.zip inside the corresponding places on your phone manually.
system/bin/e2fsck
system/xbin/busybox_d2sd
system/etc/install-recovery.sh
--------------------------------------
Basic Requirements
1. Fresh ROM
2. Rooted
3. No A2SD, No App2SD, No Link2SD
4. SD Card Partioned to Ext2 and Fat32
5. SD Card must be original (NOT Class A) as much as possible Class 4 and up.
6. Make sure that your SD Card is partitioned accordingly. Just like how you did when using link2sd.
7. Previous link2sd users need not partition your SD Card. Just format the EXT2 partition.
Steps
1. Flash DXKC1 ROM in your phone
2. Partition your SD Card with EXT2 (first) then the remaining FAT32
3. Root your phone with SuperOneClick then reboot
4. Before inserting the SD Card remove .android_secure, Android and LOST.DIR folders. And make sure that EXT2 is clean
5. Copy the extracted Data2SD_for_SGA.zip on your SD Card
6. Install Root Explorer on your phone
7. Copy the files from the extracted Data2SD_for_SGA.zip to your phone using root explorer
system/bin/e2fsck
system/xbin/busybox_d2sd
system/etc/install-recovery.sh
8. After successfully copying the files, reboot phone.
9. Turn on phone and wait. The initialization might take some time depending on the speed of read/write of your sdcard.
10. If errors has been encountered, REPEAT THE STEPS FROM STEP 1.

Hi, it tried 3 times and it's not working for sga.
Would that work also on GingerBread? AFAIK automount scripts make SGA reboot as per Link2SD issue.
@mastrone -> Link2SD and Data2SD is a different thing.. But both won't work on Gingerbread because install-recovery.sh is quoted inside init.rc
@roninxt -> worked for me... i am using DXKC1 ROM...

I'm also using that rom. But i didn't flash to a fresh rom. I had a Link2sd installation before and i followed the steps. I also uninstalled Link2sd.
Can someone explain why do we need a fresh rom?

When you have an applications installed before putting data2sd in its place... Some or most of the application will result to FORCE CLOSE... That's the reason why it should be applied on a FRESH ROM.
I experienced it before when i got excited on applying Data2SD having 200 apps installed... The result, i got FORCE CLOSES on most of my applications.
But you can still try it out on a currently running ROM in your phone, make sure that you have no a2sd, app2sd or link2sd installed..

Basically to avoid/minimize errors with conflicting mods prior to this mod. If you're an advanced user(or something like that) you probably know what you're doing already so fresh ROM install is not necessary but still recommended.
@tazz811
Nice work man, I'm assuming that the current custom ROM available for SGA does not have init.d support as of now and that's why you placed the script inside the install-recovery.sh script. Well, this might sound useless but, why not make install-recovery.sh call any scripts from init.d? Maybe something like:
Code:
list=`ls /system/etc/init.d/*`
for k in $list
do
sh $k
done
this way, you can run the data2sd script from init.d which will then make it easier to make modifications as well as allow other scripts to run on init.d.
@Ungaze... Thanks for the idea... You owe all the credits... It's me LTGB
list=`ls /system/etc/init.d/*`
for k in $list
do
sh $k

No.. It's not working on a rooted Gingerbread ROM (Stock or Villain ROM). The init.rc is kinda secured even if you unquote install-recovery.sh it will revert back to the original state. Therefore install-recovery.sh will not be executed during boot time.

Ok i got it to work. I have about a couple of apps installed about 10 and i was successful running the script. I uninstalled all my other apps. I didn't encounter force closes. So yes i can confirm that d2sd will work even on an existing sga rom. But you need to uninstall most apps including big ones as this might lead to a force close.
not work on my SGA,install from fresh rom dxkc1

ext4 should work but you wont be able to backup your SD-EXT using clockworkmod recovery.
First backup your apps using titatinum backup,boot into recovery mode=>mounts and storage=>format sd-ext.This will format your partition to ext2.
then restart and restore your apps.

If you made your partition using CWM then it is ext2 and not ext4 .
Please check your partition type by connecting your device to your PC and opening a partition manager which recognizes ext partitions.you will see that your SD Card is split into 2 partitions
FAT32 and EXT2.(You dont need to check if you trust my word )
You can safely use my ROM because your are using EXT2 and not EXT4.

High quadrant score in the screen-shots is based on high CPU and high IO score so I would guess these tweaks would be highly dependent on sd card speed to get higher scores unless there is some swapping to ram going on to "fake" these IO speeds. I've read something about that while checking out data2sd > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852219
@googlehome: What brand and type of sd card are you using ? I'm very curious because I'm looking for the best one possible for our device.

Thank you every much googlehome. Thank you. Thank you.
But i'm still can't play youtube HQ.
sorry for my weak english...
By the way, Wi-Fi is not working on my device with this ROM, just like it's not working with Amalgation's EUViewPad. It is, however, working with CleanViewPad ROM. I have HWVer 103.
Some of my impressions.
Wifi works on my Viewpad 7 HWV 1.03. Tle launcher is notably slower than the stock one. There is no email application and I don't know how to send and receive emails. It is not good as emails are very basic tablet function for me.
I am really courious how to "revive" icons from Dock "thrown" in the recycle bin?
Everything else is OK. One of my Quadrant scores was 1045.
Install and Configure a2sdgui ROM's CyanogenMod
Hello fellow good here I leave this tutorial hos to use a2sdgui based on CyanogenMod ROMs, as these ROMs do not include this system and its installation is different from a stock rom; a2sdgui is an app that allows us to extend the internal memory the mobile to have more space to install apps, this is accomplished by configuring two aspects: SD memory partition and installing a script called darktremor a2sdgui, well initiate:
THE WHOLE PROCESS IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKS IN MOBILE IF YOU DO EVERYTHING AS SHOWN TO WORK ALL YOU ASSURE THAT CORRECTLY
RECOMMENDED TO DO BEFORE INSTALLING THE MOBILE APPS
Requirements:
- ROM based CyanogenMod 7.1 or 7.2
- Install a2sdgui (DOWNLOAD FROM THE MARKET)
- Script darktremor a2sdgui 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 (Download)
- SD card partitioned
Instructions:
1. - Install a2sdgui
2. - MicroSD Memory Partitioning:
First download the MiniTool Partition Wizard.
http://download.cnet.com/Partition-W...=dl&tag=button
Once installed, we put our SD on the PC (with a reader, adapter or anything like that) and open the program.
If you already have some partitions it is recommended that if we start from 0 erase all as shown.

Now for the ext4 partition, select PRIMARY. Now the partition type is relative, it is recommended that if your card is less than 6 class partition is ext2. If Class 6 or more ext4. That and I leave to your judgment, in my case I assign 1 GB will be to host the apps as if they were in the internal memory.
Now we use the remaining space for the swap partition (PRIMARY), in my case 500 Mb RAM With this more of our ACE will have 800 MB of Ram (the swap partition is a partition that is used like RAM, it is so important!)
APPLY Now we give and we get this message should accept and the thing to end as you see in the two screenshots below.
Partitions that I recommend are:
3. - Restart the phone in recovery mode
4. - Scroll to and select mounts & storage mount / data and mount / system
5. - Made the above should be unmount / data and unmount / system
6. - Now return to the main menu of recovery
7. - Enter to install zip from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard>-2.7.5.3-beta04 dtapps2sd-signed.zip
8. - Restart the phone, when you start DO NOT OPEN OR ANYTHING IN THE MOBILE, the mobile just restart again, it is NORMAL not alarmed.
9. After reboot, enter A2SDGUI. On the menu that appears in the display of APPS on SD are expected to be active and SWAP may also, in case this is not no more to give up and active. At the end of the menu is the VALUE SET 0-100, I got 100 and I gave the side.
10. - Now we turn to LowMen directly and I have chosen this, to me is the one that best suits me. The option below elijais leave more free memory, it is better but in my case having 800 mb is fine for me up there.
11. - Now let's Dalvik-Cache and choose it and click Move & Rebuild and phone will reboot.
AND THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO END MUCH MEMORY FREE AND ESPECIALLY A lot of RAM! ENJOY!

@tazlooney89, thanks for sharing this tutorial.
Could you please explain the difference between link2sd, s2e and app2sdgui??
there are so many methods, gets pretty confusing which to use.

I haven't used s2e, so i can't give you a description of, but i can say that the main difference between links2sd and app2sdgui is that meanwhile the first only moves the apps to the sd (even those that aren't allowed to by the os), app2sdgui "cheat" Android to "think" that it have more internal memory, but really it's just part of your sdcard.
Hope you'd understood me

Ok. Thanks. So what do you use? app2sdgui? I have used Link2Sd for a week or so now. I think it is really good. it gets the job done nicely.

I think you guys didn't understood me; I'm on the stocklite v3, and it's a custom rom with DT scripts installed. Anyway I'll take a look over that threads ;-)
EDIT:
Haha, i've messed it up!
I don't know why or how, but now i have the app2sdgui running, but....also i had runngin link2sd, and several apps linked. Now i have a lot of "andro-boxes" (linked apps that are, seems, not readable) in my phone, a sdcard partitioned and a lot of information blocked.
I'm trying to create the mount scripts on link2sd to unmake the links, and start using app2sdgui, but link2sd can't because "device or resource busy"
Good, i'm the best! XD

If you use Swype beta you need authenticate them, but u can use a altenative, a swype modify, i dont know if i can post the link here, because i dont know if this is a warez... ?? but put in the google and search for DA SWYPE. In this web site you have many options of colors of swype.

Please OP remove my old post about Ubuntu on Tab 3...
T3buntu (Had to call it something...)
Disclaimer:
What you do with this information is up to you. If your device breaks while trying anything in here you do that at your own risc.
I cant be held responsible for anything that happens to your device.
Everything in here was tested on a Samsung Galaxy Tab3 10.1(5210) if you try anything in here on any other device thats up to you.
Most of the work is made by the Linux on Android team i have just tested and fixed some stuff.
The image is ext2, x86 but im working on a ext4, AMD64 image.
”Changelog”
1. Replaced lxde with KDE Plasma
2. Added entryś in etc/fstab for int/ext SdCards
3. Edited bootscript from the Linux on Android team so that the SdCards in the Tab is correcly mounted and works with fstab.
4. Installed "missing" packages to minimize errors.
Works:
Wifi
Battery indicator
Int/Ext SdCard
Most of the stuff in Ubuntu.
Issues:
Leftpanel is black
Slow startup, but can be fixed. I will add that later.
Some apps dont work if you start them as root.
Couldnt make jpg work as wallpaper so using png at the moment.
Rotation isnt setup since we cant use xrandr to rotate the screen..
Not tested:
GPS
ToDo
Streamline startup
Add init.d support on the Tab
Tweaking were ever possible.
Fix sound
Now for the fun stuff.
Installation:
1. Root your device. I used this Guide.
2. Install Busybox.
3. Install Linux on Android.
4. Install a VNC client of your shoice, i preferr Jump Desktop free.
5. Copy bootscript.sh to /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/ overwrite the old file.
6. Unpack and Copy the t3buntuv1.2_20131216.img to a place of your choosing on either internal or external sdcard.
7. Make a Linux on Android widget and point it to the img file you copied in 6.
OBS !! This image is preconfigured with the user ubuntu and psw t3buntu..
8. Now click on the LOA widget you made in 7 and let linux ”bootup”
9. In your VNC client connect to localhost.
DONE ! Your now in Ubuntu..
If you want more screenspace you can uncomment
# service call activity 42 s16 com.android.systemui
In bootscript.sh this will remove the android panel. The problem with this at the moment is that to
get it back you have to restart the Tab becourse the ´am´ command to get it back ”Seg faults” on
my tab and i havnt figured out why yet.
Consider this image as alpha...
OBS !! The image file is BIG 1.4GB compressed and 4GB decompressed. Will try and make it smaller not sure how the Linux on Android team made there images so small...

Nice, but there are a few things...
The bootscript.sh contains one little, but crucial error.
At line 172, character 44, you forgot one space, which makes the mount procedure unusable:
Code:
$bbox mount -o bind /storage/extSdCard $mnt/extSdCard
Which should be:
Code:
$bbox mount -o bind /storage/extSdCard $mnt/extSdCard
Without this (for me) it failes while it's starting up.
And, another thing, my tablet reboots at the moment I have to run VNC to start the X server, even though I'm not doing or touching anything.
After reboot it doesn't start up t3buntu either.
But, very good work !!
And yes, I do have Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 GT-P5210...

Havnt noticed any problems here but i have added the space and updated the script since both versions works for me.

Does it reboot during script execution ? It do sound like a mem issue. Do you have widgets and such running in android ?
You can try with enabling the swapfile in bootscript.sh .
But, very good work !!
And yes, I do have Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 GT-P5210...
I've got the terminal up and running fine. But I can't VNC into it. What settings are you using for you VNC viewer?
How about native graphic support using libhybris? Or since this device use PowerVR SGX 544, is native X11 possible? Reference: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_GMA3600

Hi, I posted a question in the Q&A forum (them 10 posts), but I guess it really belongs here.
Tried this on my TWRP rooted UANB4 stock rom P5210, stock kernel. And I get the following with your script and image:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $
[email protected]:/ $ cd /storage/extSdCard/Img
[email protected]:/storage/extSdCard/Img $ su
[email protected]:/storage/extSdCard/Img # sh /data/data/com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid/files/bootscript.sh /storage/extSdCard/Img/t3buntuv1.2_20131216.img
Checking loop device... FOUND
mount: mounting /dev/block/loop255 on /data/local/mnt failed: Invalid argument
Error: Unable to mount the loop device!
1|[email protected]:/storage/extSdCard/Img #
Line : $bbox mount -t ext2 /dev/block/loop255 $mnt
Do I tell busybox to overwrite the mount command?
Otherwise, excellent work, cant wait till I have it running.
*EDIT*
Turns out I just had to copy the image again, I guess my first transfer got cut off.
Totally works, thx
hey. i noticed that the last update was in April of 2014. i was wondering if there was any updates on this.
getting linux on my tablit was the #1 reason i chose to root my GT-P5210 in the first place.

I guess I can say it work aceptable in VNC mode, definitly work nice in comand mode. I been working in a native solution but it is a hard bone for my teeth. Look in the general area.

Off Topic:
Personal Opinion: Why so easily say "not possible I think"? Is it something impossible in cyber computer world. + this not required any advanced knowledge, this is a basic Linux staffs. Does not matter how much Remix looks like Windows, it is a still Linux base, have Linux Kernel and Busybox. Tip: Try to learn to not doing everything via GUI, try to learning using a CLI.
The end of off topic.
Let's start:
Unfortunately, I cannot boot Remix on my Toshiba Satellite L775D (probably hardware issue, I cannot boot Android x86 M and L also), but I have Android x86 KitKat installed on one of my partitions. Beside Android x86 (ext4), I have one Windows (ntfs), three Linux's (ext4), one data/storage partition (ntfs, data=PODACI on Serbian, on screenshots) and one trying of booting PhoenixOS (ext4). This is how look like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I successful mounting all my partitions inside Android x86, and I suppose it is same in Remix (let me someone correct if I'm wrong). I mounting all my partitions in rw mode.
1. Linux partitions (ext2, 3, 4)
First, determine what is a name of drive you want to mount. Format for this, is sdXY, where X standing for HDD's order (a, b, c...) and Y for partition number on that disk (1, 2, 3...). For example: my Arch Linux is on sixth partition on first hard drive, it is a sda6. All partitions in Android are presented under /dev/block, so full path for my Archie will be /dev/block/sda6
Second, make folder where you want to mount partition. For example, I maded for me /storage/sdcard0/partitions/ARCH for mounting my Arch Linux partition.
Third, open terminal and execute:
Code:
su
busybox mount /dev/block/sda6 /storage/sdcard0/partitions/ARCH
And whoala, go in Root Explorer, or what ever, open /storage/sdcard0/partitions/ARCH, and you have your partition as rw. Of course, you have to edit comand line abowe, to be appropriate for your scenario (name of drive sda6 and folder where you want to mount partition).
2. Windows partitions (ntfs):
Even a Linux Desktop OSs, need a little program (binary, executable... what ever) called ntfs-3g for mounting ntfs partitions in rw mode. Fortunately, ntfs-3g exist ported for Android, thanks to devs.
First, download ntfs-3g from here
Second, extract .zip
Third, copy extracted ntfs-3g executable to your /system/xbin
Fourth, give them permission 755 (or rwxr-xr-x , how you like)
Fifth, make folder where you want to mount your ntfs partition. For example: I maded a folder /storage/sdcard0/partitions/PODACI for my ntfs storage partition (label PODACI)(partition which Windows people call "D:"). Notice before next step: My storage partition is sda2 (/dev/block/sda2)
Sixth and last: Open terminal and execute:
Code:
su
ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda2 /storage/sdcard0/partitions/PODACI
Output in terminal will be something like an error, but open Root Explorer or what ever and, whoala, your partition is here in rw mode.
Notice: You making folders for mounting just one time, of course. Every next time, you just execute comands.
You can make a script for mounting your desired partition(s) on boot. For example, for my storage partition above:
Code:
#! /system/bin/sh
ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda2 /storage/sdcard0/partitions/PODACI
[/CODE]
save as text file, and run (for example) via Script Manager app, as root and on boot options checked.

@stiw47, your sollution didn't work for me. I do everything according to instruction, get error from terminal but partition isn't mounted, can't see it in any file explorer.
Not to brag but I can see my all my first hard drive partitions and my second hard drive partition just fine in the Remix OS file manager, I think I can because I'm using chainfire's Stick Mount app, when I open Remix OS's File Manager, I can find a folder called usbstorage and entering that folder list all my partitions as sda1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and then sdb1 second hard drive.
This is on my HP Envy DV6 and plus running the latest version rooted. 2.101 I think.
Hope this helps somehow.

Realy sorry about this, but as I said, this working for me in Android x86 KitKat. I can't run Remix on my laptop. Try to use fuse.ko beside ntfs-3g. Read OP here.
In terminal I can see directories in the Ubunru folder that I created but no file explorer app sees anything.
Yeah, guys, you are right. I didn't been lazy, and I installed Remix on another laptop, just to try. ntfs-3g not working, confirm. About native mount of Linux partitions, it is very strange for me: @dlaciv12 is right - can't see content of partition in file manager, but it is there in Terminal ('ls' comand), strange.
Sorry once again because dumb post.
Well, I'll post this screenshots from my RemixOS on my HP Envy dv6 laptop, where the folder is and what's inside my usbstorage.
Anyone else wanting to access there Windows, Mac or Linux partitions in RemixOS, open File Manager, then My Remix from the left sidebar then usbStorage, all your partitions on all or most hard drives will be listed, I can't get my Zenfone 2E to mount in Remix because it wants to reformat my phone as a memory card, so I'll access my phone from my other 2 Linux OSes or Windows itself.
with root. i used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter.
tested on HFS+ and NTFS.
You are incredible.! Yes, I can see all contents on all partitions of my HD. U DA MAN!
