Hey guys! Gonna try using S2E from the market to move my apps to ext partition. But before that,do I have to flash Darktremor apps2sd and partition my sd card? The last time I partitioned it,I used a 1GB partition.

Actually I'm currently on Cyanogenmod and I want to try CyanogenMMatt instead! So that means after I wipe data from the rom,I flash the new rom's zip file,I don't flash DT but just partition the sd card and I'm good to go and to also use S2E??
Anyone to help me??
With what? You partition the card, install the thing from market and configure it via GUI. What help you need with that?!

well just wipe and create ext partition
flash rom
gapps(optional if not built in)
kernel(optional)
install s2e-settings create ext4 and reboot
Done!
check ur ext partition in s2e if it was sucsessfull

Thanks! But by 'wipe' do you mean data on phone or even the sd card contents? I was hoping I don't have to wipe sd card's content

Sigh. Partitioning and formatting the SD card wipes everything on the card. No need to wipe it separately.

Hi, I recently installed and set up link2sd... and i have a few questions regarding this topic,
1) When I do a CWM backup does it backup my SD card second partition which contains the linked apps?
2) If i do a factory reset, will my apps that are linked to the SD card stay with the data since they are in the SD card?
3) If I format the normal partition of my SD card will it affect the second partition by any means?
Thanks...

1= MAKE ALL BACKUP DATA, ALL DATAS!
2= Yes, when u select factory reset, - wipe /data - /cache - /sd-ext - /sdcard/.android_secure
3= This is a good question, i dont know the answer i never do it...
EDIT: 3= No, is 2 partition if u format ONE the other be intact.

1.
When the mount script was successful than cwm will backup your 2nd partition.
3.
That depends how you format the card. Under windows it will kill your second partition.
Use a partition program like mini tool to format only your first partition.

But I still dont undertand the answer to the 2nd question. If we factory reset are apps that are linked to SD card gone or not? in other words does it format the second partition as well when carrying out a factory reset via CWM.

they are gone.. factory rest will wipe ext partition so your apps will be gone

Noob questions
Hi all
just have a few questions, just point me where i can find the answers
1- benefit of having 2 partition on SD
2- what s the size the partition if i have a 8gb card
3- What format is better fat32, NTFS, ext2,3or 4
4- swap size 0 or 64mb
i had a problem i couldnt solve in my neo when i was using App to sd and i tried to move an apk to sd it says "not enough storage"
although i had 3 GB free then. i formated the sd using Fat32 format 4k unit size. so i didnt saw that error again but i got other error like "unfortunately, apk has stopped". did i mess with something.
thanks in advance

Don't blame me but link2sd has a really great homepage that answers all your questions.
You should take a look there.

Don't do a factory reset...
just format cache and data and after you flash a ROM install link2sd, choose mount script, reboot and then do the following steps:
1. Menu > More > Relink all application files
2. Menu > More > relink library files
3. Menu > quick reboot
That's it! Now you have all your apps back!

Yes it is different.
Both move apps to the sd card, but
- Move to sd but them to the first partition
- link option in link2sd but them to the second partition.
Read the benefit moving to 2nd partition at link2sd homepage.

Use minitool partition manager on your pc.

Follow these simple steps:
1) Download MiniTool Partitioning Wizard
2) Copy all your sd-card files to your PC. [ Necessary ]
3) Open the tool, format the FAT32 partition [sd-card storage][this is why 2nd step is necessary] and ext partition[you created for linking apps].
4) Delete the ext partition.
5) Finally, extend the FAT32 partition back to its original size.

Hello all,
few days ag I asked how to move internal apps to SD with Titanium Backups. Hitesh2626 recommeded me to use another method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082465 and I did so.
I've followed the guide but I did not succeed and I think I konw why: when I run CWM I don't have any /sd-ext partition.
I've followed all the steps under "Partition SD Card" , and I've used ext2 for formatting the new "memory" .
Anyone has had the same problem? Anyone could help me to find what am I doing wrong?
TIA,
Arnau

Hello, first of all, thanks for your answer.
I guess you are talking about step 11, just after chossing the filesystem type:
10) First , Choose ext2. If it don't work then restart Link2SD and when then don't choose ext2 but ext4. ( Don't worry , it works )
11) It will say mount script created. Reboot your phone now.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If so, yes, after chossing ext2 it does not complain. After reboot I see a second partition "/data/sdext2" : Total:0.89GB used 64,91MB Free: 850MB.
(is it ext2? If I plug the mobile into my linux box it says it's FAT32):
Code:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 1 13564453 6782226+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sdc2 13564454 15564799 1000173 83 Linux
Teh "problem" comes when doing "Placing the 2nd partition of SD Card to internal." :
18) Foramt /data /sd-ext /system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't have that "/sd-ext" partition, so I cannot format it.
But I've continued with the manual and tried to install an app (whatsapp). Now Link2sd says that the app has been linked, the /data/sdext2 partitoin now shows 85,97MB used but when I go to apps, manage apps, I see that my mem has decreased in ~ 20 MB . Is that the expected behaivour?
This I explain myself clear? if not, sorry but I'm newb to this world

Yes, that's how Link2SD works. It will link the data associated with the app to ext partition. If you go to the Settings> Storage, you will see that the total internal memory remains the same. But you can still see the available memory has increased due to linking to ext. To see how much of the ext partition is used, just go to Link2SD> Storage. Now if you are not satisfied with Link2SD, you can try the CronMod Unofficial. First backup all the SD Card data. Also if you want to try CronMod Unofficial after installing Link2SD, it better to flash the custom rom again after formatting /system and /data from CWM. This will get rid of all Link2SD files which can otherwise mess with CronMod Official. Now go to CWM> Format /sdcard. This will delete the ext partition. Now CWM> Advanced> Partition SD Card> Size (Max 1GB, anymore and system will lag)> Swap (0MB) and wait for it to say "Partitioning done". Now download and place CronMod Unofficial to SD Card. Now again go to CWM> Mounts & Storage> Mount /system then flash the Cronmod Unofficial zip from CWM and finally unmount /system. Reboot and you are good to go. Now go to Settings>Storage to see the newly increased internal memory. Here is the link,
Cronmod Unofficial
Hope I Helped

A couple of questions:
1.-) So, with this method I'll be able to install all the app in SD?
2.-) 7-Flash your desired script : what does it refer to?
3.-) It also refer to sd-ext, but I can't format that partition... (as it was my original problem). is cronmod going to use it even if I don't format it? (as link2sd has done).

1. Yes with this method you'll be able to install all apps to the ext partition of the SD Card as long as you have free space on ext partition
2. Flashing the desired script refers to flashing the script in question, i.e., CronMod Unofficial
3. Can you tell me what happens when you try Mounts & Storage> Format /sd-ext? CronMod uses you ext partition even if you don't format it. Its not compulsory and CronMod should work fine.

Hi,
after a couple of days I've seen that the speed problems do not compensate teh fact of having more apps installed, so I'm not going to try this new approach.
I've re-flashed the rom without using externad SD and it's running really fine.
Many thanks for your help dude!

Glad I could help And yes irrespective of what method you choose to increase the internal memory, there will always be a lag after you exceed a certain number of app install. This is because in all cases the /data is moved to ext partition of the SD Card. SD Card R/W speed is always lesser than internal memory R/W speed. You can control this lag to a certain extend by using class 8 or higher SD Card and only installing necessary apps.
