Using Dexter 1.3 with mioze patch, link2sd crash a lot of apps, I have an ext2 part but link2sd want to create a script as ext2 is visible. What I have to do to have link2sd like in 2.1 ?
In bugfix3 you just create a folder called link2sd in the sd-ext partition and reboot. The bugfix3 boot scripts should take care of everything else for you. I haven't used link2sd in a while, though--so I don't know if something has changed on link2sd's end. Try creating /sd-ext/link2sd and rebooting.

Thank you, so, if I all understand I simply create /sd-ext/link2sd and reboot so I don't install app ?
But how can I choose wich apps are linked ?
PS : I have another problem, can you explain me how to disable sound and vibrator on start and close of the phone ?
Thank you for your patch and your help.
Yes you do install the app but when link your apps they well get put into that folder.
Install link2sd, create sd-ext/link2sd folder, reboot and you should be good to go. Make sure you have ext partition and also see guide in apps forum about how and where to put ext.ko script in /system. Might have to close out of the link2sd app once or twice to get it to work, but once it does, you will be on your way.
And always remember, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Thank you I succesfull run Link2sd but I haven't to put ext.ko Dexter's ROM see ext on it own. My problem was that Link2sd was creating a script but to fix, I just had to create sd-ext/link2sd and he don't ask anymore for creating a script.
Great good to see it works.
And always remember, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Haha that guide on other forum for link2sd was yours.

I have a problem, when I partitionnate my sd card with partition wizard in Dexter 1.3, partitionning have a problem and can't continue.
How to fix ?
Thank you
I use minitool partion wizard too. Make sure you make the partitions primary and not logical. Also as if you haven't already read this, make sure from left to right it is fat, ext2/3/4, swap. I am on Kahl's Epicsteel which is based off Dexter's.
Is the problem that the phone can't see the partition or that the wizard program can't finish it's job? Are you trying to use App2sd, Link2sd or native Froyo? If app2sd or Link2sd use Root Explorer and find folder sd-ext. Open that and put in a new folder either App (not Apps) or Link2sd, move all your apps to internal and reboot and viola, they populate into those folders.
If you are going to use native Froyo, and you sometime get a Unknown Error reason-18, you have to plug your phone into you computer and make sure hidden files can be seen. Go into the .androidsecure folder and delete the file named smdl2/tmp1.asec. It will fix that error. Known google Froyo glitch.

The problem is that wizard program crash and so can't finish it job.
EDIT : I restore stock 2.1 and know wizard crash at updating informations at 99%
I had the same problem but mine was because I had a bad usb connection. Sounds ghetto but maybe just tinker with your connection. If you are using the phone plugged in, maybe try a card reader or vice versa. I also start the program with the card already plugged in b/c for some reason it doesn't show up if program is running and then I plug in.
Another problem I had was that my computer wouldn't recognize my sdcard as a removable drive. If this is the case, go to control panel, admin, disk settings and your drive should pull up. if no drive letter is listed, right click on the drive and pick a letter (just not anything that is already taken by you main drive or CDrom.

The problem is that I partitionnated my sdcard few time before with the same computer so, it's not usb connection. More, I don't know if I can format my fat32 part because Fat32 work and I don't want to have no sd card and no openrecovery.
EDIT : Problem solved by unpluging usb cable at error and by restoring ext2 data with openrecovery.
I have another problem, do you know how to use link2sd on Dexter's ROM because I have bug after installing this (he make a script)
One of the things that I like about the Minitool Partition Wizard is that you can repartition your card w/o losing any date, unless you choose to fill the sectors. but if you can't get it working, that part doesn't matter.
Are you going to stay on 2.1 and run app2sd or going to go back to Dexter or Kahl's ROM? If going back to 2.2, the you can leave it all Fat32.
Android operates on the fat32 so if you want to just run it without the partitions, you can just leave it all at Fat32 and it will create an Androidsecure folder on your card. I used that for a time and downloaded an app from the market called Move2sd enabler which makes it so you can move almost any app to your card.
All else fails, maybe try to uninstall Wizard and reinstall.
Good luck. As long as I am logged on, I'll try to help, but kids are about to wake up for the day.

I am going to flash dexter 1.3 with mio7ze patch and FM radio fix but I prefer use link2sd in ext2 to be enable to go back to 2.1 with link2sd.

Pretty sure this will work for that part.

I am using App2sd though b/c I was having issues with Link2sd before and just got a bad taste in my mouth for it.
Don't forget to install Link2sd and then reboot before you start moving over files, otherwise it won't mount the partition.
Thank you, I will try when my phone will boot.
For khalpower's ROM, I tried but I dislikestock theme, I prefer stock 2.1 or Dexter's one.
Did you know how to change theme in khalpower's ROM ?
Go into the Themes forum and 3rdstring has put together some nice themes over there. I use Metamorh and Zipthemer to change my theme (both free and in market).
Gotta make breakfast. Good luck

Ok in FB's kernel thread I asked is link2sd could be creating reboots when linking a app during a automatic update. FB asked why I was using link2sd.
So after some discussion Im confused. And not wanting to clutter his thread anymore Im creating this one.
My understanding is link2sd uses your current ext partition and puts apps in the sxt partition then symbolic links the app to the original location. That way you gain that much space on your internal.
FB says the built in apps2sd of android does that already. But I was told all it does is move the app from the internal to external (sdcard). This is possible even without a ext partition, I know because several people with the Optimus V do not use link2sd or anything like it. They just use the built in app mover.
When I had my Optimus V I used this data2ext but I do not think it would work for our phone since its written for CM7. WIth that my interal memory showed up as however much my ext partition was minus the apps. What it did is trick the OS into thinking the ext partition was really the internal storage.
My question is am I right in how link2sd works or am I misunderstanding?
Is there a version of the data2ext that works on the SGS4G roms we have and I just cant find it?
Here's some reading for you:

How it works:
Link2SD mounts the second partition of your SD card as /data/sdext2 and makes OS mounts it at boot time.
When you select an application and press "Create Link" button you can select which files of the application will be linked and moved to SD card. Apk, dex and lib files can be moved and you can select all three or any two of three or even only one of them.
Depending on what you select, Link2SD moves apk file, dalvik-cache (.dex) file and lib files (.so) to SD card's second partition and creates symbolic links in original directories.

apps2sd does NOT require repartitioning your sdcard and it's an Android 2.2+ feature.
links2sd requires your sdcard to have at least 2 partitions + formatting your sdcard, and is a 3rd party application.
Ok I understand that. Don't we need a ext partition anyway? IM trying to wrap my head around this but I'm still confused how the built in moves the app to the ext partition.
I'll read more of that thread tomorrow stupid ISP OS doing maintenance and my net is crapping out.

I think what eollie is looking for is what we had on Froyo. Remember dsexton's ext4 guide? We could create a second (ext4) partition on our EXTERNAL Sdcard and use Link2sd to move apps there..
On Froyo I had a second 1.5 GB ext4 partition on my EXTERNAL sdcard and used Link2sd app to move my apps to that partition. It worked Great and I miss having it on Gingerbread. I could not get dsexton's guide to work on Gingerbread at all. It caused me all kinds of problems. Even soft bricks..
Sorry if I'm wrong eollie.
On my old Milestone xt720 I used link2sd primarily before 2.2 was available for the phone. It involved setting up an ext4 partition as well as a linuxswap partition.
At this point ... seeing as we have gingerbread which already moves most apps to sd card ... the only advantage I can really see is that when you use links2sd you can move absolutely any app to sdcard (keyboards, alarm clock, ect) that would not normally be moved.
Now one thing to be cautious about when using links2sd is some apps will not work properly when on the sd card. This is especially true with apps that have widgets. For example - if you move your digital clock to sd card the clock widget will not display.
I don't know if this will be helpful but I just thought I would offer my input.

You are correct.
The link I posted is what I used on my Optimus V. It tricked the phone into thinking that partition was the internal memory.
Like jiggleynuts (that name kills me) said you have to be careful with what apps you put on the sdcard. I was using that but when I update apps it would move them to the sdcard if they could be. And my apps that have widgets I use were breaking cause of it.
Again if we can use something like the data2ext I linked to then I would scrap link2sd faster than you could blink. I hate having to use a app when there is a alternative like the data2ext stuff.
Am I wrong in thinking the ext support we have is the same as what the op in the thread I linked is talking about?

eollie -
did you ever get the data2ext mod working for the t959v?
i remember you from the optimus v forums last year.
correct me if i'm wrong but we used the data2ext mod with bumblebee and harmonia? i'm considering trying that data2ext v7 mod on this device. i'm actually really surprised that mod isn't being used with this device like it was with the O-V. Both have limited internal memory. maybe i've not learned enough about this device and it isn't capable of utilizing the mod. i'm kinda curious why darktremors app2sd mod isn't used either. its an easy option in the kitchen. either way i'm curious what you've found out or experienced with these mods. i do know link2sd works with this device, so i'm assuming data2ext and darktremor app2sd would too.
I replied to your pm. But Ill answer here too, I never found a conclusive answer. So I just move apps using the built in android app2sd function. If there happens to be a app that needs images loaded at boot like launcher themes or the such I just move it to internal memory.
ok cool. i may try it. i dunno.
thanks for your response.
Hello,
With the limited space on Optimus One I decided to try out Link2SD app. I was able to partition my SD card and Link2SD created the script. After reboot I tried linking some of my apps to SD (EasyMoney, Solid Explorer Beta2, Swype Installer and Swype). The first app (Solid Explorer) linked the app file, and delvic cache fine. Every app after that game me error: "Failure. mkdir failed for /data/sdext2/dalvic-cache, File Exists". Also, when I filter it to show only the linked apps even the first app isn't listed.
If I move only the app file it is successful, but every app force closes. Rebooting the phone simply forgets that I even had the applications installed (even after quick reboot). Finally removing the link does absolutely nothing. My guess is that the app never properly linked apps in the first place resulting in the app going into a 'limbo'. Now I have used some space in my SD partition and can't use the app or reclaim the space.
I am new to all this, but am researching what my fault is. Can someone point to what am I doing wrong? How do I get link2SD to simply move my apps to the partition to free up my internal space.
In a nutshell:
1. First app successfully moved, but link2SD still shows no apps are listed. Subsequent apps cannot be moved since dalvic-cache folder (or file) already exists).
2.. Moving only the app data results in FC. Rebooting results apps disappearing with no way to reclaim the used space.
How did you partition your SD card, and how is it formatted? Any other partitions on the card?
The SD card currently has two FAT32 partitions, both set as primary. Partitioned is using Minitool Partition Wizard.
Typically, the 2nd partition is formatted as ext2/3/4. If for some reason you need both partitions to be FAT, there's a setting in link2sd where you can specify that the 2nd partition is FAT. This is important because link2sd makes a script which is run when you boot up your phone, which mounts the partitions appropriately.
sorry if Out Of topic.
but anyone can tell me.
how to use link2sd.,.?
btw i'am using PARANOIDROID custom rom now.

If you have second partition on SD the Link2SD moves apps to sd-ext.
When starting the first time, make sure to select the correct filesystem. CWM makes ext4 I think..
If you are already by that with incorrect partition, go Options=>More=>Recreate mount scripts.
I recommend to activate Auto Link in settings to have no need to worry about apps being linked.
I think that's all what you need, if you are basic. I have done that too.
Guys I m newbie.
Want to know what is the best script or app or MOD which is best for moving apps and data to external memory and will help improving performance of our phone.
I am using Gingersnap 2.3 by neko, but s2e does not work on it?
Please hepl me with this.
Is this mod is safe to use?( Interactive Data2sd )

I am a big fan of cronmod's scripts. You can put the script in the init.d folder of the rom's .zip before you flash it, or you can flash one of cronmod's .zips immediately after flashing a ROM (before first boot).
I like them because they are fully automatic. You can install tons of apps, and they get put on your sd-ext without having to link them, or do anything to them. I used link2sd for a long time before I found cronmod's scripts. After a while I still ended up running out of space, and I would have to go back into link2sd to figure out what ELSI I could link.
With cronmod's scripts your internal folders ( like /data or /data/app depending on the script) get automatically mounted to to sd-ext. This effectively adds to your internal storage. I see it as more of a fix, while link2sd is more like a band-aid.

Hi, thankyou for the tips, yes link2sd will not give you infinite space, once you start to have a lot of apps, them continue to write some data (cache, etc.) on your internal memory and this will lead you to fill your internal memory. So in my opinion with a non rooted phone, simple move app to sd is like a band-aid while link2sd on rooted phone is like a powerfull band-aid.
About the script, it will move ALL and let you to install infinite apps? I've readed that these kind of script give you also some stability problem on some apps and also decrease speed of the phone while for now, with link2sd i've no problem at all, I moved also gapps.

Im using cronmod (int2ext+) and I haven't experienced any problems, I guess (haven't tested) they just released a script that will work with 4.2.1 The only app that ive seen with noticeable lag was titanium backup, but other than that its been great
Ive also used link2sd and that works extremely well also.

Obviously, not infinite, but on my ov I have about 180 mb for my data partition. Using the d2ext script with a 2 gb sd-ext partition means that I increase that by literally over 1000%. I have absolutely no stability problems with the scripts. Sometimes a particular rom won't boot with a particular script, but I've always been able to find at least one script that will play nice with any rom I've used.
I really liked link2sd when I started using it, but eventually running out of space again, and constantly having to link apps got old. The script will move ALL of your apps without you having to tell it what to do, and your apps will still "think" they are installed on the phone, so widgets will work fine.
thanks!!!!!
Thanks guys!!!
I m now using int2ext+ by cronmod ....works perfect!!!!

Hi,
First of all, thank you a lot for all the development effort that has been put in to bring the AOKP ROM up to this fantastic standard. I have been using the ICS AOKP for quite a while, and just switched over to the JB ROM. It feels a lot faster and smoother, thank you!
I have got a question on Link2SD after flashing this ROM. Apologies beforehand, if this is not the forum to post that. I had used Link2SD while on ICS to move most of the apps to the SD card. Now after flashing JB, Link2SD does not re-mount the SD card secondary partition. I selected all the options mentioned (ext2/3/4/FAT) but it fails to mount with any of those options. So I'm not able to re-link any of my apps. Does anyone know how to fix this and get my apps back?
I also tried the following as per suggestions in some of the threads: 1) mounting it in recovery: not working; gives the message error mounting sd-ext (2) deleting some of the apps like Downloads and Email: still not working even after deleting those two apps.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I never had any problem with link2sd and ANY rom. Im on CM 10.1
Till ICS it was easy to directly download and flash roms and Gapps.
But JB roms need trimming.
What i do is.. after a clean wipe I flash any JB rom. Then remove unwanted apps.. Instal Link2sd..
change few minor system apps to user apps (not recommended, if you dont know.. what you are doing).
After linking these apps.. I always have enough mem for Gapps.
In Gapps also you have few apps which you can convert to user app and then link it.

My issue is now fixed, but in a hard way. Formatted the secondary SD card partition, and then Link2SD automatically recognized it. All the apps are gone, but at least I got the secondary partition active. Spent another half-hour downloading all the needed apps again from the Play store.

Hi,
First of all, thank you a lot for all the development effort that has been put in to bring the AOKP ROM up to this fantastic standard. I have been using the ICS AOKP for quite a while, and just switched over to the JB ROM. It feels a lot faster and smoother, thank you!
I have got a question on Link2SD after flashing this ROM. Apologies beforehand, if this is not the forum to post that. I had used Link2SD while on ICS to move most of the apps to the SD card. Now after flashing JB, Link2SD does not re-mount the SD card secondary partition. I selected all the options mentioned (ext2/3/4/FAT) but it fails to mount with any of those options. So I'm not able to re-link any of my apps. Does anyone know how to fix this and get my apps back?
I also tried the following as per suggestions in some of the threads: 1) mounting it in recovery: not working; gives the message error mounting sd-ext (2) deleting some of the apps like Downloads and Email: still not working even after deleting those two apps.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi, you can do one of these things, by adb shell run e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 to your second partition or using gparted run a full check of second partition of your SD card in a computer card reader, after that will work. I have the same problem, but in my case i have to do this procedure EVERY DAY because at next start the read only problem starts over... ANY BETTER SOLUTION APRECIATED !!!
After factory reset, I had a read-only ext4 partition. Had to start over.
Common cause of link2sd not creating its mount scripts is too little room on /system. Try adb shell df | grep system. Need a few meg. If this be the problem, need to trim the ROM.
Can,t understand ... How to Do it In Micromax A27...in custom Rom
tell me how to do it in Micromax A27 in custom Rom Dreamboltxv2
A lot of separate issues here and in various threads:
1. Sd-ext read only after factory reset. I never do that. Had that very thing happen. Save all data from partitions to computer, repartition and copy it back.
2. Not enough room on system to process/form mount script. JB and onward, ROMs need trimming. > 3meg needed, 9meg should be plenty.
3. No room on data. Link2sd can still work and fix that. If sdext can be mounted, that is ... and a launcher can live long enough to get to lin2sd and start it!
4. Other errors creating the mount script. I am now getting "device busy ... maybe ext4 not supported ... try vfat ... etc." Ext4 is supported. I have a copy of the script which I can place myself.
5. Data integrity problems in Kitkat based ROMs. Repeated recreation of dexes on data, using it up (Link2sd's Achilles heel). Sometimes, recreating that script can stop this. If one can get it re-created. Issues 3, 4. Link2sd can get the space back, problem is keeping it.
I have raised the issues with Link2sd authors.
