Dualbooting / memory (have searched) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
A quick question I have not been able to find the answer to.
I have omega v31 installed as the 1st Rom on my I9300 and this was an update I applied last night. I then installed extsd2intsd on my device
This morning I tried dual booting and installed cm10 nightly build as the 2nd Rom.
Only question is in order to have the extsd2intsd mod work on the second Rom do I now need to format the memory ext memory card again as I only did it last night or can I just flash the extsd2intsd mod and it will work on cm10 same as it does on Omega?
I know cm10 doesn't support ext fat ext cards.I formatted ext sd card as ext fat32 so I assume that would be ok?
Just need to know how to get the mod working on both roms?
Thanks in advance

[Q] Custom roms that support 64 GB microSD(sdxc) ?

Hello
Do any of you know of any custom roms that will 100% support the use of microSD 64 GB cards (SDXC)? Both of the roms i use (ICS Slim 4.2 and Energy HD 1.7) do not. I'm testing and testing roms but so far no luck.
Thanks in advance
roms have nothing to do with the compatibility of sdcards.... The kernel does

Slim ICS is running the Siyah kernel which should support the exfat module right? Not working.
Try formatting your partition as fat32.
You'll need to remove the card from the phone and use a special program on the computer to do so.
Compatibility with fat32 should be far better than with exfat.
Altough you could try formatting it with ntfs, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Thanks for the suggestion but even if i would want to lose write/read speeds by doing that, I still wouldn't be able to do i because I do not have a card reader anymore.
After searching all over, the answer was closer than I thought. OMEGA 7.1 did the trick for me. Thank you again for the help.

5380I cwm not recognising sd-ext

I'm looking at installing cronomod unofficial script to free up internal memory.currently using link2sd and have 3gb ext 3 partition on 32gb card. I have razodroid 2.5 with the September version of Rafael kernel that came with it. I can see the ext 3 partition on root explorer. Cwm won't let me mount it to follow the instructions on the modified chronomod thread.I used the version of cwm on the thread.I looked on the net and there were no answers relating to acei.

Its the kernel. Someone on the unofficial cronomod thread suggested using a kernel with cwm in it. Ace cream has one in it. In addition you need to set the sd-ext as primary I also forgot to do that in one of my many reformats trying to get this going

Just noticed this post. You've probably got it sorted by now but thought I would answer in case you hadn't.
Take a backup of your razodroid with cwm.
If you flash ace cream 1.3 it will give you a rafael kernel with built in cwm. The cwm in the latest rafael kernel (or hell lock kernel's version) won't recognise my sd-ext either.
The version in acecream 1.3 recognised my sd-ext and I then restored the backup which doesn't touch the kernel but would replace razodroid for you.

You must have partitioned sdcard for sd-ext

please help

I came from a 4.1.1 ROM and I backed up and formatted my card to Fat32,I'm now running this ROM and now my card isn't allowing me to restore anything from it, I can see it but can't do anything with it, no error message or anything.... I'm so confused... Please help ASAP
If you switched to a 4.2.x rom you wont be able to restore anuthing due to where 4.2 roms store info... due to the multi user modes.

So finish that explanation. OP check the cm10.1 thread. In the op is a downgrade zip. Flash that then restore your backup

I'm confused, what ROM are you on and what ROM, are you wanting to go to? as far as your pictures, all that is so on your sd card and will be if you flash that zip fin the cm10.1 thread. They are just stored in different directories. The 4.2 ROMs have different directories then 4.1to make multi user possible. So before going any further answer my last question and we'll get you straight.

increase internal memory galaxy ace (URGENT)

OK so i have searched for info on increasing the internal memory of a galaxy ace s5839i and there seems to be a lot of info regarding partitioning so i downloaded minitool partition and created a partition on the SD card then used link2sd but this isn't really doing anything, when i try and download new apps larger than the available storage which is 25mb it comes up with the insufficient storage sign and when trying to link the internal apps that came with the phone it just says failure so i would greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer me as i am doing this as a favor for someone and they are picking the phone up tomorrow

CWM for S5830i should work on S5839i as both of them have same hardware. Anything that works on S5830i should work on S5830c, S5830m and S5839i. Hope I Helped

Flashed cwm and made an sd partition using that and i can create links on apps now but larger apps (40mb+) still wont download on to the phone it still says insufficient storage
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Ok i have now linked most of the apps that came with the phone other than system apps and it freed up 90mb which is a big step up from 30mb i had before partitioning however when i download new apps they are not auto linking despite having checked the auto link box and when i do auto link i have to reboot the phone every time to make it take proper effect. Also downloaded apps use up less memory when i move to sd card rather than linking
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Been playing around with link2sd and i am impressed its working great the internal memory from the phone keeps changing for some reason that's why i thought it was still taking up a lot of memory but once the phone is rebooted it balances itself out however the apps are still not auto linking i am putting this down to apps automatically downloading to the sd card rather than internal memory so link2sd is unable to create a link for this, any advice on why this is happening will be greatly appreciated

Some apps are usually installed on SD Card. Sadly Link2SD can't link the apps installed on SD Card. Hence you have to move such apps to Internal memory in order to link them. Also because you are using the stock rom which has no init.d support, you have to reboot everytime for your internal memory to stabilize. If you want to install as much apps as you want, then try CronMod Unofficial Script. But for this you need init.d support. CronMod Unofficial will not work on stock rom. All custom roms have init.d support. Just download any custom rom from the link given in my previous post. Download the CronMod Unofficial.zip from the link below. Now go to CWM, do Format data/ factory reset, Format cache partitions, Mounts & Storage> Format /system & Format /sd-ext, Advanced> Wipe Dalvik Cache. Now mount /system from Mounts & Storage and then install the rom from SD Card. Now remount /system and then install Cronmod Unofficial.zip from SD Card. Done! Just reboot and you can see that your internal memory has increased. Now you can install any number of apps as long as you have free space on the ext partition. Make sure to install only necessary apps as installing a lot of apps will ultimately slow your device. Here is the link,
Cronmod Unofficial
Hope I Helped
The person im doing it for doesn't want a custom rom so is there no way to direct apps straight to internal on stock rom? Hes taken his phone back hes happy with it for now but would be better if apps are automatically linked. Now i can go back to using my nexus 5 lol

You can also install a custom stock kernel to get init.d support to your stock rom. Try Rafeal Baugis Stock kernel. Here is the link,

I haven't heard any complaints from him yet so seems he's happy enough with it at the moment but if that changes i will most likely install the custom kernel you linked
