[Q] [SOLVED az mi kutas stanal] Problem with LINK2SD:( - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

I`m running MiniCM7 2.1.1 with unlocked bootloader and nAn`s kernel installed. but whem I`m trying to mount a second partition for LINK2SD, programme can not see the second partition. It`s saying "Mount script cannot be created. mount:mounting /dev/blocks/vold/179:2 on /data/sdext2 failed: No such device" i made an ext3 partition and choose it in Link2SD app, but it`s still not working any solutions fot this?
As I can see a lot of people have this problem with another phones but nobody except me with our lovely x10 Mini??

I found that it's better to use 2 fat32 partitions with Link2SD

Thanks for tip will try it now
edit:still not working this time "Device or resource busy"
edit 2: after restart i need to make a script, but after making a script and restarting message with creating script shows again and again everything was fine before updating MiniCM7 2.0.7>2.1.1

anyone any ideas?? i really need 2nd partiton and be able to move applications there

I *think* it could be because gingerbread roms have native app2sd support which could conflict with link2sd as both look for 2nd partition?
Sent from my U20i using xda premium

but on older version of the CM7 this feature was working. i think it`s not because of this

why r u trying to use link2sd when gingerbread roms actually have builtin app2sd?

because if I will use native app2sd and mount SD Card to PC or my home audio via USB every application that is moved to SD will stop work. so I want to move them to 2nd partition and then I will not have this problem. but I can`t mount 2nd partition

if you just want to move app to sdcard then you should try my step.
i'm using Paul's Mini CM7Pro which already including native app2sd. So all i have to do is making all three partitions (fat32 5,65 GB--ext2 1,4 GB--the rest for linux swap). Now if you install any apps, they won't taking internal storage as much as before.
sorry if i have bad english

yeah, but if you move them to the FAT32 partition then they will stop working if you mount SD Card to PC. but I need them work everytime.

Iva also found that multi-mount sd lite does the trick, you dont have to unmount the card from andorid in order to use it (fat32 disk) and so you can access and use the disk as usual from your pc and from you phone at the same time. It for free on the market and is much quicker than mounting using the system tray app!!

App2SD Mod (Moves dalvik cache to SD) Instructions

Now after we have root for 2.1 most of you will want to have app2sd also. The script posted in x10 mini pro android development forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804574) works ok but it has one limitation. It moves only the /data/app folder to your ext2 partition on the SD card. The /data/dalvik-cache folder remains in the internal memory and this is why you still see your internal memory free space decreasing when installing applications.
I have modified the script so it also moves the dalvik cache to your SD card. I recommend to use at least class 4 SD card for this. I have attached the modified script. Follow the instructions from the original thread but use the files from my attachment. For me it works fine.If you have any problems please share so we can try to fix them together.
And finally using both the original and modified app2sd you CAN normally use your sd card as mass storage device.

hmm where must I put the app2sd.sh?? in the sdcard or...
/sdcard/app2sd2.1 mod (dalvik-cache to sd)/app2sd.sh?
thx
Hmm, something went wrong...
At night I tried your method. After App2SD setup I got 192mb free (internal memory) instead of 154, as it was before. I installed 3 applications adn the phone showed, that I still have 192mb free. In the morning I installed Skyfire and used iGO Amigo and after that I noticed, that amount of free memory is 166mb.
As I understand, the phone with App2SD mod don't use internal phone memory at all... However, mine phone still prefer internal one.
Edit: If I want to revert changes made by App2SD, I must choose "keep files from sdcard" or "load from backup"?

Well in fact using my App2SD solution not the whole /data is moved to the ext2 partition. Only the dalvik-cache and app folders in /data are moved so some applications may still consume space in the internal memory. If you uninstall use the option to use teh fiels from the SD card. About the GPRS problems - i don't see how they can be related with app2sd. I do not see this problem with my phone. Are you trying my method or the new chargemon method?

[APP] Root All to SD

Has anyone tried this app for Data2SD?
I stumbled upon this app while taking a stroll in the Market. And wanted to share it with y'all.
And, NO, I am not the dev of the app.

I would've tried it myself, but I already have Data2SD on my phone. It might help those who need Data2SD.

I 'd be happy to answer any questions. The app simply creates and formats a storage in the SD, then links data from apps to that partition.

Does it do all this automatically.. I mean is there any special script or kernel required..?

1. You first use the "storage" menu to create a storage file (default 500MB) to be used as a partition. This partition is then automatically formatted to ext2 and mounted on the device startup.
2. From the "apps" menu you select an application and you have a list of the movable files.
3. You move/restore the files you wish.
Of course, don't do it for applications that start on boot, because the storage won't be mounted until the sd card is visible.

Is this only for 2.2 or can it be used for 2.1?
It can be used with 2.1 as it doesn't move the app itself (as the 2.2 system does), it moves the internal data in /data/data/<package>.
(requires root).
Glad to see the Dev himself here.
Hope many people benefit from this App.

Hell mate. I tried this with 500mb.
It stuck at 25mb which is like 5%
Then i formatted my sd card and tried with 50mb and again it stuck at 25mb.
Why is this problem occuring ? Also i have a 16gb sdhc which is class2
Hm, perhaps a problem with your SD card ?
Try this from shell:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdcard/rallsd/storage bs=1024 count=102400 (for 100MB).
this is similar to the command used by my app. If it also stucks, then it seems that there's an error with your SD card (chkdsk ?)
If it works, notify me and I 'll take a look.

is the app able to allocate free space from the sd card to create the partition
or do i have to wipe the sd completely before ?
will the app interfere in any way with already installed and normal moved apps ?

[Q] Why is ext4 Manager and A2SDGUI displaying different sys info?

Hi guise,
I just partitioned my SD (~2GB) to have 512MB for A2SD through GParted with the ext4 filesystem (I'm using fla.sh X1 ROM, so I assume it supports ext4, right?).
The trouble is that on ext4 Manager, it says that I indeed do have ~500MB of /system/sd, but in A2SDGUI, it says I only have 24MB of SD-EXT storage.
Are /system/sd and SD-EXT different? If so, how do they differ? I thought they're the same.
Oh, and an additional question: how can I know that DT-A2SD is functioning correctly?
I just got into the flashing-custom-roms bandwagon, so please bear with me if I ask stupid questions. I'll refer to the search button and Google, but when I can't find the answer/solution, I'll ask here if that's fine.
Thanks in advance!

Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
Well check internal storage, it should has (maybe) 130mb free app.
Anyways, titanium backup shows the right information about storage, and it shows how much space is using the sd-ext partition.
Other way is a2sdgui should say "sd are on app", dalvik must be (if you choose it) on sd-ext as well.
Another way is in terminal emulator. First type "su" then enter. then "a2sd repair". Somewhere on the text it shows, it must says "dalvik is on sd" and maybe (dont remember if it does, I dont have my phone right now) something like "app is on sd" (not sure).
Cheers!!

[UPDATE] Weird problem with sd-ext --> PROBLEM SOLVED!?!

Ok, I am on vo-1's CM7.2, this also happened with ICS2/Final.
SD-EXT worked great, I linked my data with link2sd and after installing some apps the partition is empy. Same thing happened when I used s2e in the past. I look at the sd-ext folder and there's nothing there. With link2sd when i try to create link for new installed apps it says that partition is read only. I checked permissions, everything was ok. Formating the sd-ext solved the problem but this is not a solution as all apps there can vanish at any time.
I checked that with 2 different sd cards, they are not the problem. I create the mount script with link2sd as ext3.
Can anyone help me on this one? I am tired of facing this again. Am I doing something wrong?
Something else when a card is partitioned through CWM 5, does this create a script for the card? Is link2sd causing a problem when it mounts the sd with ext3? HEEEEEEEELP!!!!
Delete all partitions of your SD Card and Repartition it. It woks for me a 2 weeks ago with same problem.

a dev's help would be great here. Either the card is not formatted properly from within CWM, or this is CM7 issue or... I really don't know. It's things like this that make me tired and wanna go back to stock rom where simple things work.
Honestly, can someone provide with a solution cause as I read in other phones forums this thing with CM7 is also there!
I decided to partition sd with this http://www.partition-tool.com/download.htm
Great tool but a bit tricky to use
So I succesfully created one fat32 primary partition and one EXT3 primary partition. Maybe I'll test it again with CM7.2 tonight and link2sd to see what happens.

I'm having the problem when partitioning through CWM so I don't think that will help you. Also Know that you said that you had partitioned with mini tool I don't think that easeus will also do it for me....
Still no response from a dev... too sad!
You can backup your sd ext via Linux OS or just VMWare and a Ubuntu vm. Last time I have made a backup and formated the sd ext with mini tool and it start working again. But now I don´t want to format but find a new/better solution. Somewhere I´ve read the read only problem is caused by canceling the sd check and you have just to run it through...
Since this problem is happening with various roms,it isn't a problem with the rom.
Try converting ext3 to ext4,this is not guaranteed to work but try it
[UPDATE]Weird problem with sd-ext --> PROBLEM SOLVED!?!
OK...PROBLEM SOLVED!!! (At least for me) So here's the story...
1. I used this http://www.partition-tool.com/download.htm to partition sd. One primary fat32 and one ext3 1024MB partition. So I was sure sd was formated and partioned correctly (be ware, this program is a bit tricky but I am not gonna guide you through this - tricky at first but not difficult). Just make sure that the cluster size for fat32 should be 32KB and for EXT3 4KB. You should have something like this http://imageshack.us/f/810/65663741.jpg/ Partition sizes depend on your sd size and how much space you want to have on sd-ext. Just showing this to see what the outcome of the process must be.
2. Then placed the card on phone, started in recovery and then did a full wipe. As you know, when you wipe data/factory reset, sd-ext is also formated. I wasn't sure though what file system does CWM use to format sd-ext, that's why I did leave the sd on the phone.
3. So while in recovery, I pulled the card out, checked the card with Easeus and found that the sd-ext partition was not formated with a known file system, it said partition unkown!!!!!!! So I formated sd-ext with Easeus as an EXT3 again and put back in phone which was still in recovery. Then started to flashing things.
So far, everything is working great with link2sd (mounted sd-ext with ext3 when app first started - then reboot). I tested the hell out of it, created links for apps, then remove links, move apps to phone and opposite, lots of reboots and shutdowns to check if the sd-ext will stop working....After 180 apps phone works great, sd-ext is still there.
BOTTOM LINE
I think CWM has a problem when partitioning sd/formating sd-ext. Bottom line is when doing a full wipe, don't have the sd on the phone. Format and partition it with Easeus (or one of your choice) or delete files/folders you don't want with that. Remember, both FAT32 AND EXT3 should be PRIMARY!!!
Let say i already flash rom...then i wan to create partition on my sd...do i need to flash rom again after i complete partitioning my sd? Now im running cynoace what sd ext i need to create 3 or 4? Any one can help me?

First you have to flash rom and after this let the Ace in CWM and format the sd via mini tool and insert it again. Then just reboot and enjoy

Best App2SD method ?

So we all know the Xperia 2011 internl storage is very low. On my Xperia Mini Pro, with CM9 installed (normally, the smallest rom out there), I'm struggling to install apps and keep my storage with at least 50mb free. I use the ZDBox app that has an APP2SD option for moving apps to the SD Card but that's still not enough.
Is there a way I overlooked ? In my old HD2 days, Apps2Ext was working very well. With a 1gb ext partition on your sd-card, you were good to go. However, "ext" doesn't seem to be a popular option around here.
Any idea ?
Thanks !
Link2SD
best for me

Hi
I confirm, link2sd is a life saver.
Link2sd FTW!
But ull lose ur apps if u format ur fone even though apps are in the sd card

Link2SD is the best method.
Format your sdcard:
2 partitions (primary) - 1 FAT32 (the main one), 2 EXT2 (for moving apps to 500-1000MB).
In my system I have 100-200 apps (internel storage -150mb free/ system-40 mb free).
All apps are linked to second partition on the sd card.
Important LEAVE launchers, widgets and root apps in internal storage!
Thanks guys! Will look into it this week-end...

link2sd is the best for me, its has many options, move app to system, unistall system app, clear cache, clear dalvik cache, and you can choose 1 by 1 were to install the app, sometimes i use it just to unistall some system app and clear dalvik ( when i flash a new rom) because you can use it without mount ext for that
Same here. The first app I install after a flash, is Link2SD and Root Explorer. Can't live without them.
Hi
As said, link2sd all the life.:good:
why do i selec install location failure " segmentation fault"
file system type of formated partition
Hi Everyone,
I would like to ask if You know with file system is used during preparing of sd card?
I'm using to create partitions on card CWM (6.0.2.7) from stock CM10 FXP203 kernel.
Created partition has 1GB but App2SD at first run not accepted ext2 saying that that file system might be unsuported.
My phone is Sony LwW with 32GB SD card. What I should select or do to order to work.
Thanks
Thom

An ext3 partition is created when u partition through cwm. So select ext3 option in link2sd.
Link2sd best app for moving,freezing,converting user app to system app,

Thanks
