I have been trying forever to get ext3 working on my phone. I have 3 primary partitions; fat32, ext3 and linux swap. I used a card reader to create them via Partition wizard. Every software can see the 3 partitions, but my phone wont pick up the ext3. I tried wiping everything, reflashing dexter's rom, but i just cannot get it to work. I still see only 134mb on internal memory and it decreases as i install apps. I have even tried using link2sd but that gives me an error ("Mount script cannot be created"). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Me too, I used Miui optimize rom and Steel v4 (

That's strange. My EXT3 partition works both in Dexter's rom and in the Steelblue V4 rom.
I used gparted under Linux to do my partitioning. What I did was to resize the existing FAT32 partition and move it all the way to the right. Then I created a 2gb EXT3 partition all the way at the left. From there I created a 256mb swap partition in the middle, and I resized the FAT32 partition to take up the rest of the drive.
Did you guys remember to create an "app" folder on the EXT3 partition?
There are other folders that you can create to put the delvik cache on there among other things. I just don't remember off hand what you need to name them as.
Ya there is a folder there called apps, but for some reason, nothing is moving into it. do i need to run some sort of a script? what i did:
1. flashed dexters 1.3
2. partitioned sd card using partition wizard with a fat32, a ext3 and a swap partition
3. booted up phone, internal memory shows 134mb, all apps installed go to internal memory.
4. terminal shows ext partition with 1100 mb free space
Am i missing a step?
Thanks in advance

not folder apps but app no s....if your ext3 working fine then shud have lost+found folder @/sd-ext.. create app folder using root explorer then reboot..now your app shud automatically move to sd-ext..
and create cache folder dalvik-cache
Well i did what you guys said and now my apps are going to /sd-ext/app but im also losing space in the internal memory, and it does not show internal + ext3, it only shows internal. You guys have any idea whats happening?
Thanks for all your help guys.

Are you using Dexter 1.3 without any patches?
[If so, probably your dalvik-cache is on /data? So... even though the apps are going into /sd-ext, the optimized versions of the dex are being stored on internal memory.]
Yes... no patches, and dalvik is going to /data. Any idea whats up?

That's just how Dexter's 1.3 works by default and one of the reasons I started the bugfix patches. If you apply bugfix patch 3 dalvik-cache will move to /cache automatically (you can optionally move it to /sd-ext by creating /sd-ext/dalvik-cache and rebooting).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995989
Or, if you don't want the patch, you can maybe use Androidiani OpenRecovery--it has a menu option to install an init script to move dalvik-cache to /cache. I haven't tested whether that works or not, though.
After this patch, now the /sd-ext/app folder deletes itself after i restart the phone, tried a few times, same goes for davlik-cache. This is crazy every thing that could go wrong has gone wrong, thanks again for your help. You got any other suggestions?
I do not understand what you worry?
It works now, thanks alot for all your help guys, really appreciate it!

1. Formatted my card to the required partitions.
2. Flashed dexters rom followed by Mioze7Ae's bugfix 3.
3. Using root explorer I created /app folder.
4. Downloaded apps like there's no tomorrow.

I tried two different ways to partition my sd:
1) I used Gpatred and I did everything as described here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z1Tu9l8WNc&feature=related.
2) I used MiniTooLsPartition Wizard and Root explorer to create app and dalvik-cache folders.
In both cases, everything seems fine....until i install some apps. After restart the phone can not load the android. The phone only shows M logo and restart. If I remove the card then OS load. What I have to do? Thanks in advance.
Are you partitioning your sd while its in the phone? Use a card reader if possible. Wipe clean your partitions and wipe data and dalvik cache. Then try again, although i did not have the problem that you mention, are you running any other scripts? eg. darktremors?
What I did:
1. Clean Installation of Steelblue V4 rom.
2. Two primary partitions (FAT32 and EXT3). I used card reader.
3. App and dalvik-cache folders on ext3 partition.
4. Wipe clean partitions and wipe data and dalvik cache.
After first reboot everything was fine. Then I installed a root explorer to check a ext3 partition. The app and dalvik-cache folders were there. I decided to restart the phone again before I install anything else and nothing happened....only M logo

i really don kno how to use the a2sd on fitdroid v2.0
can someone plz help?
Dude, ull first have partition your sd card. Then only u can use darktremor apps to sd. To partion your sd card, go to recovery mod>advanced>partition>and then select the size of partition. Atleast 512mb of partition is recommended.
After doing that,reboot ur phone and now a2sd should work without any issues!
Feel free to ask if u still have any problem

IF U WANT DARKTREMOR A2SD TO WORK THEN U HAVE TO PARTITION UR SDCARD.
TO PARTITION FIRST TAKE BACKUP OF UR SDCARD AS IT NEEDS TO FORMAT UR CARD WHICH WILL ERASE ALL UR SD CONTENT.

SELECT SIZE U WISH(512 or above) AND SELECT 62 or above AS SWAP VALUE.

hi, i tried all of this as you mentioned...
eventually, this darktremor a2sd stopped my apps from being moved at all and it kept on saying that i don't have enough memory... though i know i should have... any thoughts??
Okay, a question from me...
Is it possible to have this swap setup in the stock gingerbread rom (ddkq5)???
Can anybody give a step-by-step tutorial, or maybe just a link, along with a list of all the necessary apps/other stuff that will be needed..??
I have a 16gb memory card in my galaxy fit...
Sent from my GT-S5670 using XDA App
I run Creed´s ROM 1.5 and there is also Darktremor included.
I thought SD was automatical formatted with ext4 by installing it. So I am a little puzzled to see, that moving to SD does not work as well as swap option.
Could you tell me, what is the matter?^^
Edit: Found out by my own, followed the same steps as mentioned above for FITDroid. Works on Creed´s ROM 1.5 as well. Only Disadvantage I found was it reduces my 8GB SD to 4096MB (couldn´t select higher at CWM) also after moving Dalvik, system boot seems to loop .. had to recover (good I did before )
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, 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.

I wouldn't know how to, I just trust the developer and since the rom does everything I wouldn't know where to look. the last time I tried editing a rom zip, it wouldn't install because it didn't match the original signature of the zip file. Also, because I am a new forum user, I can't contact the developer directly for some help.
Make 1 gb partition(Enough)! As the script uses 100mb of internal for every 500mb sd-ext....so making 3gb is useless.
Plus while configuring the app disable safe mode and see if that helps

Nope, didn't work, wiped the SD card and made a 1gig ext3 partition, also disabled safe-mode as suggested, still loads EVERYTHING to internal memory with 1mb left, it also comes up with a busybox error and a script error on first boot. I went into M2SD and set apps, data and delvik to use the sd-ext partiotn and waited, nothing, so rebooted the phone, nothing. All with the same message of 'The current status does not match your settings for this option' under Applications, Data and Delvik Cache, also 'Could not set the sdcard readahead' which is set to 512 as default.

Why you don't install cm10.1 beta 3. Its great and cool and stable to. Based on 4.2.2. Android os install link2sd and make both partition of fat32 by mini tool and don I have this problems when install the ROM you have then after I do this I have 8 GB SD card 1 GB fat 32 partition and other for data. Alls going good smooth stable. And a have 43 app installed on my pico and remaining internal memory showing 87 mb my good suggestion is to change ROM .
And give a time to the developers of (explorerman's rom xenon system) to make the ROM best

Did all that, I always do a complete clean of the phone before I try anything but still not working. I think, because it was a T Mobile HTC Explorer rather than a generic one that there is something hard coded into it. I see through the forums so many people having no problems at all but they have generic phones rather than unlocked phones from service providers. I am not a programmer so this is just guess work and from experience, I can't even restore the phone using an RUU because it will only accept a T-Mob one. If there a way to replace the entire software on the phone then I would but it's programmed into the chips at factory level (low level) since the phone was produced by HTC for T-Mobile. If the phone had been bought directly from HTC then there would be less problems. So far, I haven't found a single rom that doesn't have some kind of problem with this phone.
Thanks for all the suggestions but I'm guessing it's time to 'pick a window' for it and just save up for a more modern phone than trying to keep this HTC Pensioner going.

Any one that try it, please let me know how it goes with you.
sd card
hello the mobile does not recognize my sdcard of 16gb after I make a ext4 partition of 6 gb and a fat32 partition of 10gb. Any suggestion?

How do you made it?
Both partitions must primary.
The pv or phone cant see ext4 partition, only after mounted and in data

mount partition
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.

I also tried with ext4 and rebootin but then it still doesnt mount. I have to repeat the mounting process again with link2sd but it doesnt mount. I did not find init.d file.
Do I have to make any setting changes while creating a ext4 partition?

If you don't have the file or folder you can created, create a folder and must have 755 permission.
You need that folder....

Installing apps
Hello,
untill now this method worked really great. I followed all the steps and everything went fine. Now the time has come to check if it works, I downloaded some app in de playstore, but whenever it's done installing my phone reboots instantly. Does anyone know how this comes?
thanks in advance

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.

And this video shows how ROM works with a external ext4 partition in sd card what means that all apps go to sd card and let internal storage free:

Use it only if you need it. Is your option.
I hope this helps you.
is when is installing? When start doing this?!

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.
