Hy There,another silly Q from me!(sorry :angel, i made a lot of things with my sd(partition and all that)and now i just want to format for my android again, but Minitool dont give me that option, it give me CREATE PARTITION option but i just want to format without partition, Windows dont recognize my sd cause aint formatted, what can i do?and....ntfs or fat 32, and.....primary or logical?
thank you all
I recommend using SD Formatter 3.1 for SD/SDHC/SDXC by the SD Association
You might need to Google it as I can't post links yet.
Parted Magic
I suggest using parted magic or any equivalent pre windows boot partion management tools , beleive me they work wonders .
yes but the problem that i have, or question is this, cant i format without partitions?because the only way i can format now is doing a partition, and i let all the space of the sd in that partition, but i dont want more partitions.please, step by step.
thank you

So i am on CROMI 3.4.4. and i installed data2sd. I was wondering are you suppose to see you internal storage when you plug the tf700 into you computer? It is weird because i see my fat32 and my ext4.... or is that normal?

You need to flash a kernel (included in the data2sd 3.4.x mod for CROMI) and you should see an sdcardi mount point that is you old internal storage.

I have CROMI and I can only see the internal card through the root explorer. Not a big deal to me. I can move things around as needed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33431910&postcount=1 NOTE: I've officially thrown in the towel on the sdcardi USB support on CleanROM. I don't know if it's changes by ASUS or by Scott, but it just does not work. I was able to figure CM out because I could look at the source code on Github and trace the exact changes needed. We don't have source for the stock ROM and I haven't been able to fix it without.
Yes currently PCs can't see the sdcardi mount point.
Blame Asus - but realistically your tab was not built to work this way so it is not entirely unexpected and one of things you will have to give up when going to data2sd

I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering how Titanium Backup was able to create a link to the internal storage (it's called data2 for me) when I connect the TF700 to the computer. There's a data2 folder that leads to a TitaniumBackup folder I created on the sd card, but when I use root browser to look at the same directory, the data2 folder is not there. Is there a way to emulate this so I can access the internal storage from my PC? Sorry if the answer was posted already, but I just can't find the solution for the life of me.

I believe you're talking about 2 different folder here. Once you use your sdcard as data2sd, you have 2 partitions, 1st partition is fat32 and 2nd partition which is ext4. When you connect the tablet to your PC, your PC only see the fat32 partition, it can't see the second partition which is ext4. Your Titanium backup probably use the fat32 partition. The only way you could see the INTERNAL storage is using ES file explorer or Root explorer file browser. Currently there is no way to access the internal storage from your PC.

No, I am quite certain that my Titanium backup folder is NOT on the fat32 partition. When I look at my data2 folder with a file browser, it leads to the ext4 partition, which contains my backup folder.

I'm kind of confuse, but here are the principles for data2sd:
1) you can't use your PC to see the internal storage
2) Root browser or something similar can see the internal storage, ext4 and fat32.
Hope I hit the right spot!

Thanks for replying quickly. Just to clarify, I'm not seeing the internal storage as a separate partition. I'm seeing it as a folder in the ext4 partition that links to the internal storage when I connect it to the computer. I did a little more testing and found that I can see folders from the internal storage when I use titanium backup to create the folder. Unfortunately, I can only see files that titanium backup created and not files that I move into the folder. I hope this clears things up.

Titanium backup should already have its backup folder in internal storage and once you switched to data2sd, you should also have another Titanium backup on the ext4 folder. It's not a good idea to have Titanium backup to use either internal or ext4 partition. It should only use the fat32 partition (on your external SDcard), if something happened to the OS, will not impact your backup and you can access this fat32 partition while on data2sd or return back to your regular setup.

why not? what wrong?, it's a big risk if you backup to internal or ext4 external. These can be wipe when you format data or full wipe (sometime you have no choice in order to recover a bootloop), so you MUST backup to the fat32 partition. If it's not working for you then you may need to reformat your card or something. Titanium backup should work fine.

I appreciate the advice, but to get back on topic.... The internal storage initially did not have a backup folder. I made one via Titanium Backup and changed the default backup folder (which was on my ext4) to the new one (which is in the internal storage). This somehow made a link to the internal storage when I connect the device to the PC. I can see the backups I made from the computer. Unfortunately, any other file I try to copy over to the backup folder via root browser can't be accessed and is not seen on the computer. I hope this clears things up a bit.

Could you guys help me sorting out how to use the Titanium Data2SD in addition to Link2SD or similar?
With similar I mean the Link2SD as the Titanium Data2SD should be used so I don't need to install tons of apps for doing the same.
I'm not sure about it, but it seems to me that the Data2SD feature from Titanium Backup, is similar to DirectoryBind.
Anyone know a relevant difference? Which would be better anyway?
So, to start, I'm aware I need to have two primary partitions on the SD card:
1ª. A FAT32
2ª. A EXT2, EXT3 or EXT4 (probably a EXT2 would be better)
We can do it by using a tool like EaseUS Partition Master, or MiniTool Partition Wizard.
It may be needed a card reader, or another phone as a "bridge" to the SD card to get it done (a card reader is better).
I found people using FAT32 to Link2SD, but it won't be an option (if possible), as the Data2SD seems to require EXTx:
As both Data and Apps would be under this partition, it need to be an EXTx, then!?
http://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/tit...ml#requirements-for-using-move-app-data-to-sd
You need a ROM that supports the Froyo (Android 2.2) apps2sd implementation.
Our Apps2SD scheme creates symbolic links (one per app) at /data/data/com.x.y that will point to somewhere within an ext2/3/4 partition on the SD card.
The supported mount points for the ext2/3/4 partition are:
/system/sd/ (“classic” sd-ext)
/sd-ext/ (“Cyanogen” sd-ext)
/data/sd/ (“MIUI” sd-ext)
So for Data2SD to work, you’ll need to ensure that your ext2/3/4 partition is mounted at one of these locations. Then create an “app” directory at that location in case it doesn’t exist. Once it’s done, you’ll see a free space gauge for it in the Titanium Backup welcome screen, and you can then long-click on an app in the list and hit the “Move app data to SD” button. Once you do that:
- First, Titanium Backup will look for existing symbolic links in /data/data/ and attempt to re-use the same target location, if it lies within the ext2/3/4 partition.
- If it finds no existing (or no suitable) destination, it will propose to create a “data2″ folder within the ext2/3/4 partition, and will then move the app’s data inside it.
- So by default, you’ll get: /data/data/com.x.y => /system/sd/data2/com.x.y (in the “classic” sd-ext case).

Here, I'm lost...
So, here you literate guys get in :fingers-crossed:

Phone won't recognize the 2nd EXT2 partition, but the 1st FAT32 is okay.
I suppose it is not recognized due to the EXT2 partition is not mounted?
So how to start with it to get the job done?
This is all I know.
BTW, I have contacted titaniumtrack.com and referred them to this thread.
Hope someone there could also be helpful.

It looks like I'm figuring it out thanks to Link2SD...
But Link2SD will be needed to mount the EXT2 partition.
How can I achive it without the need of any other app?

What I REALY don't understand as a PAYING user is:
Why the Titanium Backup devs didn't include a ONE or TWO steps to activate this feature like the Link2SD developer did? Who in this world, which is not a programmer or a tech literate guy are willing to screw himself reading weeks to activate this crap, when Titanium Track's team present it as a feature, which we EXPECT it to be something READY for use 'out of the box'?
WTH?!
This may be of some use : )
1) Make sure ur sd-ext partition is located at /data/sdext2.
2) Now open terminal emulator or use adb. Type:
su
ln -s /data/sdext2 /data/sd
3) Now navigate to /data/sd and create a folder named "app" inside it.

does link2sd detects your second ext2 partition? if yes... pls wait for somebody else to help you.if it is not detected, just follow the steps carefully in the tutorial (link given in first reply).
this is what happened: when I click ext2 ext3 ext4 or fat32 it shows mount script cannot be created. when I see in storage info it says sdcard 2 no mount. intact I followed that guide to partition. 6.40gb primary fat32. and 1gb primary ext2 (at present) tried ext 3 4 and fat 32. every time it shows no mount script. do yo still say that my partition is wrong? please help me. also say where is install-recovery.sh located. if I find that it will be done. note: I use micromax a58
I hope you are using Andrr 4.2 and be sure that you are using latest link2sd app from playstore.I know that some older version of link2sd doesn't support 4.2 . will cause mount script error.
first of all... forget about script now... I cant help you with scripts..But im sure that you can do without a script. because I also faced the same situation that u r facing...
tried all filesystems allways shows me mount error..
but I started from the scratch slowly following each and every step carefully., I succeeded with ext2 filesystem. thats why I told you to follow that steps carefully. .
I dont have any link to tutorial for the scripts for you now..
ill post it here once I get it..
all the best
scratch means? you merged everything and again partitioned it? first I moved all data to system. and I partitioned it as I mentioned previously. total 7.40gb. after deleting all became unallocated. I split it into 2. one is primary, 6.40gb,fat32. another is primary, 1gb,ext2. installed link2sd. selected ext2.(also tried others). it said mount script not created.. also said to try fat32/16. I again inserted in computer. clicked the second partition. clicked delete partition (did I make mistake here?). and the second partition(ext2) became unallocated. didn't touch the first partition. after second became unallocated, I tried fat32. not worked. repeated the process for all.(ext3,ext4) nothing worked. mount script not created. that's why I entered into scripts and downloaded root explorer, busybox and terminal emulator. but couldn't find install-recovery.sh. this is my situation. have I made mistake in partition? help me sir. please.

yes,you can delete all partitions and start again.try to make your first partition as active. use mini partition tool to partition ur sdcard.for second partition
use ext2 filesystem it is supported by almost all roms .if you still stucked try with fat32.
thats all.. if u still not able to mount try those scripts (link already given) at ur own risk.
how to make first partition as active with mini tool partition? I have been using that tool from the beginning. I want to merge those partitions and split it again right?

I have made both partitions as primary and then followed your instructions. When I execute link2sd after installing from sdcard it asks to choose the format for the second partition of the sdcard. then I select fat32 an reboot.
after following your instructions the apps are beeing installed to the ext2 folder (also to the app folder).
But when I check the phones internal memory, it shows a decrease of space, after installing an app.
The Settings only show the phones internal memory an the one fat32 partition of the external sdcard. but nor the ext4 partition?

Noooo!
When asks to choose the format for the second partition of the sdcard you must select EXT4 than reboot. Still the same you had created with mini partition tool, but he need to recreate to create the mount script to.
That's why it fails.

Hi!
This is a light version. Has missing some permissions ( fixed ) and busybox tools ... :/ ( fixed to )
It create a full root WITH option to send your apps to sd card automatically!
How?
Because it create a funtional init.d folder in system/etc where you can put your own scripts to start on boot, giving you full control from your ROM/phone and if you have a ext4 partition in sd card ( 3 GB that's enough ), it will send your apps to sd card releasing storage.
LTE device have a default 2GB /data storage for apps and user definitions, phone call, etc. 3G device is worse!!!
So for a LTE device, 3GB from sd partition + 2GB from data partition = 5GB!
To show you why don´t need more, i have at this momente 61 app in /data/app ( in sd ext4 partition ) that fill 750MB - > 61 apps!!!
If you have a LTE device and your /data partiton is resized you can push a litle the size from external partition to 4GB ( that's enough ), im still trying to find a good size for external partition.
Why don´t need a bigger size?
Because there are file that still inside data partition, in /data/data and dalvik-cache, that still filling up data partition... you can´t take them all ...
3G devices need to be rooted with SuperSu zip first ( i don´t know way ) ... im a LTE user.

I created a shortcut sdext2 and renamed it to app, after i renamed the originally app to _app. directly after completing the process, I wanted to test if it worked. So I started downloading some apps. When it's done installing the app it reboots my phone. When its rebooted the app is not installed on my phone.

Also when I create the shortcut sdext2, the shortcut has other permissions, should I change these permissions to the permissions of the 'original' app folder?

See if you miss same thing:
need root
Need to have the ext4 partiton in sd card ( i use mini partition tool for windows)
Do backup from your data, apps, contacts, msg, etc, with default app in phone to restore after factory reset
download Root browser and link2sd from Google play, go to data app look for it (Root Browser: black folder with a android pirate and Link2 sd: Blue sd card icon) and copy to sd card
do factory reset but in inicial settings DON´T ACTIVATE GOOGLE ACCOUNT turn all connection off.
install Root Browser and link2sd from sd card
execute link2sd to mount ext4 partition from sd card, reboot
execute Root Browser, go to data a rename app folder to _app
look for sdext2 and create a short cut and paste in the same place, rename it app, reboot
activate Google account, now all should be working fine.
you will noticed that link2sd and root browser are missing, is because they are in _app and that folder is no longer in use, the apps can be deleted. Don´t install link2sd again, only root browser if you need it.
Tell me if you understand it

I followed all steps again, but still the same problem. The strange thing is that the whole method works fine, except installing the apps. It's like my phone doesn't accept me using a ext4 partition instead of the 'original app'. Maybe it's because of a software restriction android uses in their operating systems... I have no clue at all. I will keep searching the internet, as soon as find something I will post it here.
You should definitely change the permissions too. However this method seems convenient, it will reduce the lifetime of your sd card and you will risk data loss. I think the repartition script is better.
The time life still the same, only the apk goes to sd card.
So is like any other file, like mp3 for example, it writes the file (apk ) , than only reads when need it to load in RAM ( I think you know that all the work is in RAM ). The apps lib files and dalvik-cache still in data partition.
If you do a factory reset the apps still gonna be there, you don't loose them, only need to re-create the process in phone, reboot and they will automatically installed.
This and the resize of data partition will make you a huge amount of data storage, i have 8,5Gb for data storage ....
Hi!
I re-edit the main post with a functional solution.

try this option, this works but was tested in 4.4.2 ROM

Hi!
Diferent version from KingUser root zip.
It create a full root WITH option to send your apps to sd card automatically!
How?
Because it create a funtional init.d folder in system/etc where you can put your own scripts to start on boot, giving you full control from your ROM/phone and if you have a ext4 partition in sd card ( 3 GB that's enough ), it will send your apps to sd card releasing storage.
LTE device have a default 2GB /data storage for apps and user definitions, phone call, etc. 3G device is worse!!!
So for a LTE device, 3GB from sd partition + 2GB from data partition = 5GB!
To show you why don´t need more, i have at this momente 61 app in /data/app ( in sd ext4 partition ) that fill 750MB - > 61 apps!!!
If you have a LTE device and your /data partiton is resized you can push a litle the size from external partition to 4GB ( that's enough ), im still trying to find a good size for external partition.
Why don´t need a bigger size?
Because there are file that still inside data partition, in /data/data and dalvik-cache, that still filling up data partition... you can´t take them all ...
3G devices need to be rooted with SuperSu zip first ( i don´t know way ) ... im a LTE user.
