Hi there,
I'm trying to use A2SD, since the HTC ChaCha has a ridiculously small amount of internal storage... After following the instructions thoroughly (Partitioned with MiniTool Partition Wizard, 1 partition Fat32, 1 partition EXT2 of 1024MB and then i flashed the A2SD zip through the CWM Recovery)
I installed Quick System Info Pro to check whether it's working. But the A2SD shows "no information available". My Application Manager tells me I only have 86MB left (I haven't installed much, yet, because I want A2SD to work first)
So after searching the internet for I few hours, I couldn't find anything like my problem. I tried the a2sd diskspace command in terminal, which gave me the errors "Darktremor Apps2SD may not have ran during boot. Cannot read a2sd.mountpoint" and "SD Card not mounted".
I can access my SD card with no problems at all. What's going on?
Can somebody help me? T.I.A.!
As far as I know the SD partitions only work if you create them with CWM. I'm pretty sure there was someone else posting a similar problem with a partition created using linux.
Try partitioning with CWM and check if that works.
I've tried partitioning via CWM before, but A2SD didn't work. Therefore I tried using MiniTool...
Well, did the whole thing over. Partitioned via CWM. Flashed A2SD zip again.
QSI: "A2SD-storage: No info available"
I ran a2sd diskspace in terminal again. This time I get the errors "No a2sd.swap environment variable found" and "Darktremor Apps2SD may not have ran during boot. Cannot read a2sd.mountpoint"
If I try a2sd reinstall i get the "DarkTremor Apps2SD may not have ran..." and "No SD mounted"
Darktremor A2SD working on HTC ChaCha but only for ext2
I dnt knw reason but i tried ext3 it dsnt work..(Partitioned with MiniTool Partition Wizard)..but when i tried ext2 it worked again Partitioned with MiniTool Partition Wizard...
but in command a2sd partlist it shows that my rom support ext2 and ext3 but dsnt support ext4.
But actually it is not supporting ext3 as well..
Doesn't CWM make a partition as EXT2 by default?
NO

No only make partition as EXT3 by default.
i'm using latest version of CWM 5.0.2.8..
Anyway.
First I partitioned with MiniTool 1 Fat32 and 1 Ext2. Didn't work.
The second time with CWM partition Ext3 it still won't work.
Anyone?
if ext2 is found during installation it will work without do anything
to check if it works type a2sd check
if ext2 is created after install type a2sd check then a2sd reinstall
(execute using adb shell ex. adb shell a2sd check)
Nope, didn't work. Maybe it's because i was using the stock rom, and the rom might refuse.
I installed CM7 now, but it's not really satisfying... I JUST WANT MY CHACHA WITH MORE THAN 150MB SPACE.
Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using XDA App
try to create ext2 partition after installation. because during installation CWM by default format SD ext partition and convert ext2 partition to ext3 partition (you select option to format SD ext or not but it 'll format SD ext partition during ROM installation). you can check it in (Mini Tool Partition Wizard) it 'll show 2nd partition as ext3 after ROM installation .. So try to convert ext3 to ext2(Mini Tool Partition Wizard) after ROM installation then open terminal in your mobile or use adb shell enter command a2sd check then a2sd reinstall.. i had same problem but solved it by this method now its working perfectly..

I think stock ROM does not support ext2 partition. but custom ROM are available that based on stock ROM and support a2sd and ext2 or ext3 partitions.
Can anybody confirms that Does stock rom support EXT2 partition.?
That's a negative. Stock ROM does not have support for extended partitions at all.
Latest SuperOSR released has an updated kernel which includes ext partitions support.
I'm using a modified stock ROM (removed a few useless APKs). On one ChaCha I have Link2SD working with an EXT3 partition, but with another it refuses to work.
The software version I'm using is 1.57 (the HTCdev one). Does this means that this version supports EXT2/3?
Valid and working properly on latest SuperOSR build. Screenshot attached.

its not about ROM but kernel and official htc kernel only support ext2. no supprt for ext3 and ext4
To enable a2sd, after flashing the ROM go to market & download terminal emulator.
Follow instruction below:
Key in:
su
a2sd check
a2sd reinstall
Phone will reboot once.
su
a2sd check
a2sd zipalign
a2sd cachesd
Phone will reboot again & woot! app2sd+ enabled
If you facing problem for a2sd not detect the ext partition was ext4 but not ext2/ext3, after flashing ROM please re-partition your ext again. This should fix the issue. <<< hope this solve your issue.

Yes! I'd like to know! Because the stupid unstable CM7 is driving me crazy! I don't know what irritates me more, the lack of storage or the lack of a proper working phone...
How is CM unstable? What do you mean by that? Do you have any problems with it? FC's?

* Camera doensn't work, I know about the issue of the front camera, not working, but rear one doesn't work either.... (And no other camera app will...)
* No longer WiFi tethering HotSpot.
* Facebook App keeps signing out
* My Gmail no longer syncs (and since I can't delete my gmail account to add it again, i can't do anything about it)
1) Up until now you are the only one who reports rear camera not working.
2) There are apps for Wi-Fi tethering.
3) Facebook App - Not using it, unable to find out if the ROM is the issue or other factors.
4) Same as 1) - Have you tried a factory data reset?! That deletes your gmail account.

Well, there you have my point. I don't want to factory reset it every time it doesn't work well... And there is a status bar widget for WiFi tethering, but I can't configure it...
Oh! And I remebered another weird thing. When my phone turns off due low battery, and I charge it. I can't turn the phone on. The LED turn on, orange. And if I disconnect the charger, the LED stays on, and the phone doesn't do anything. I have to remove the battery to be able to turn on my phone...
Edit:
Sorry for being a bit harsh about CM7 not working well and all. Of course I want to put some effort in it to make it work right. It's just... Well I want a super-duper-brilliant working phone! I'm just one lucky cookie to be a trouble shooter, when it comes to being the one GETTING the troubles! I hope you can do something with those issues, let me know if you need more info or logs or whatever!
hi,
how could I convert sd-ext from ext4 to fat32 ? I need eclair.
"sd ext fat32" or "mmcblk0p2 fat32" will make sd-ext inaccessible.
So after normal reboot or re-power phone, I see no mmcblk0p2 line at fs.current
I am on g3mod 2.5 OC
any adwise ?
I definitelly CANT reformat SD card or use some linux partitioning tool .I already tried some linux tool recommended at XDA and sd-ext was unusable then.I have 32 GB memory full of data, so I need some quick and non data-loss step :-o
Try using kmapp from the themes and apps forum. Just search fot it, download it, install it and when you get into the app its quite easy to change the partition type..
Edit: here is the link = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301697.
Edit again: read what hillbeast said in the g3mod thread
Press thanks if i helped.

I know You think he is crazy, BUT :
a) Froyo is garbage of garbages - except JPU, GPS is at ALL ROMs nearly unusable and JPU is crown of unstable garbage, so I cant use ALL features at one ROM
b) CM 7.2a ? looks great, but :
- GPS is useless, if you have no data connection as I have and as I primary need, then I cant use CM7, I simply cant live without only one GPS I have
- bluetooth does not work at all , OK, I can live with that
- wifi is not 100% OK, I cant connect to some AP where I am able connect by froyo to them, I can move on that If I can connect at my home
- camera does not work at all , no barcode possibilty - As camera is ****ty at all, I can live with that
c) CM9 - I tested it at first version possible, where it was really unusable, but TODAY I am testing 4.0.4
- I had to reflash to Eclair, disable PIN and reflash CM9 , it is definitelly not GOOD
- bluetooth can pair, but probably does not work - I can accept it but if USB storage does not work ...
- USB data storage does not work , with combine of bluetooth problem, I cant get data to phone
- Sygic Aura, Navigon (tested 4.0.1 only ) does not works, luckily Ndrive + Copilot works
+ + + + + + GPS looks like working , today at czech rep is very cloudy, so hard to test GPS fix, but offline fixtime can be improved
So at this moment I have to test 4.0.4 and if I will discover some problem make me impossible send SMS, make calls, clock problem , 100% cpu usage with G3MOD kernel 2.5 OC at 1200 MHz like I used at re-odexed JPU, I will have to do what I have to do :
REVERT BACK TO ECLAIR ane NEVER EVER BUY anything from SAMSUNG F******G company they are ****ting on customers ...
but I need link 2SD , and there are no custom ECLAIR kernel with ext2/ext4 support, so I need to find some way how to convert sd-ext to FAT/FAT32 without repartition SD card...

because I converted sd-ext without sd card repartition or data loss, same like at data/system partition convert
anyways, KMAPP is good, I think I already find it at CM7 or somewhere, BUT it does not allow convert sd-ext to fat / fat 32
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.
Link2Sd not working for me on CM10.1 Rom
I am using TouchWiz JB V2 Rom
I have tried ti install int2Ext+ (CronMod Fixed version fro 4.2.2) Still no luck
Also installed Link2Sd but it gave
Unable to create mout script error
I partiotned my sdcard using recovery (CWM 5.0.2.6) (it created Ext3)
Then (Delected the sdext partition using "Mini Partition Tool Wizard" then created new partition for Ext4)
But still no luck Nothing seems to work

Hi
І have also had the problem.
I removed the system software of Google voice search, voice dialing, search . (Titanium Backup / un-install all user & system apps)

Run Link2sd
Apparently there was no room in the system or chmod / chown

The standard and not-really-necessary idea of doing a factory-reset wipe when flashing is the problem here. I also had that zong my sdext making it read-only and nothing, nothing except re-partitioning the sdcard helped.
not working !
hi ! I have a problem , I've tried to partition sd card with cwm, minitool partition , tried ext 2,ext 3 , ext 4 , flash again ROM , install first link2sd , recreate mount scripts every time i change the method but no matter what i do , it keep telling me that the 2nd partition is not mounted and wont let me recreate mount script . ( Mount script cannot be created ) . If anyone can help me , i'll very much appreciate . Thanks !

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.
Hi guys,
I'm looking for a thread about ALCATEL ONE TOUCH 995, which talks about rooting and installing a new ROM issues.
I'm not new to these tasks since I've already rooted/modded Xperia X10i, Samsung galaxy S2, Nexus 7 a lot of times so I know I've looked quite enough for a solution, that's why I'm asking here for some support
To summup (but Not too many details here since I may not be in the right thread), I can't understand why this phone is so stubborn: I can boot into CWM, I can mount and unmount everything I want.
-> I formatted up to 10 times in a row /system, /system/apps, /data etc... everything I could format or wipe, indeed...
--> I tried to install some custom ROMS -> symlink failed, or couldn't format /system, errror while formatting /data ....
I even succeeded to launch aroma installer to install ICS H1N1v5.8a ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37117723 ) without any error , BUT: ----> after reboot, it was exactly as if I just did nothing... nothing erased, nothing formatted, just like before with GB 2.3.6, same wallpaper, same apps installed etc.....
So!
--> Do you know which thread deals with this kind of issues?
Thanks a lot!
Little up
So the other day I decide to get a new SD Card and gift myself with a sd-ext partition so my FIT can have more apps than it already has. :laugh: After creating the partition succesfully I installed Link2SD and tried to install the script. This somehow didn't work.
Then I tried flashing the darktremour apps2sd script and using the apps2sdgui application, which again gave no fruitful results. A2SDGUI displays a message saying could not start for one of these reasons:
1. Device not rooted
2.A2SD Script could not be found.
3.No EXT partition found.
Now I know that the script did get installed successfully. My device is obviously rooted. So finally it boils down to 'No EXT partition found'. I tried mounting the sd-ext partition from the recovery and booting the device, to no effect. :crying:
I would appreciate it if anyone can help me with the issue. I really need that ext partition!
PS: I'm using Official CM7 ROM without any additional scripts other than apps2sd script.
I remember when I bought a new sdcard(class 10), my FIT(with 2.3.6 gingerbread/based rom) didn't even recognized it. Then the shop guy formatted it from the phone itself & then my FIT detected it. Then I created the ext4 partition(512mb) using cwm recovery 5.0.2.7 & all is well since then.
So I can only advice u to first backup the sdcard contents & format it from ur phone; then use 5.0.2.7 cwm recovery to partition it & hopefully all will go well for u too.
Also maybe the A2SDGUI app is conflicting. & there are some roms in which ext4 partition don't work/mount(my experience) but it should work for official cm7. I have cm7 of 28-10-2012 & 01-03-2013(last build) but I faced serious call issues in the last build: other person keep listening the callertune while my phone didn't even ring. So I reverted back to cm7-20121028-NIGHTLY-s5670.zip:sly: & it worked like charm.

I did partition the SD card from the CWM Recovery.. Now, I don't understand how the A2SDGUI app is conflicting. It is just an app to manage the partition rather than using commands in the terminal.
Anyway, I tried the unofficial versions of CM7 and now I have a working partition. I used Link2SD to install the scripts. Link2SD installs the ext4 scripts , even thought the partition is ext3. Well, I can't complain as long as everything is working
Thanks for the reply though. :good: :highfive:
