Hi,
After searching a lot here and other place, I didn't find the solution of my problem.
I have 8gb card.
1st break up
6GB - FAT32 - Primary
rest - FAT32 - Primary.
Link2SD is not able to mount.
Displaying in storage info as - "SD Card 2nd Part." Not Mounted.
------------------------------------------
2nd try, with another breakup.
6GB - FAT32 - Primary
1.2GB - EXT2 - Primary
60MB - L.Swap - Primary
rest - Unallocated.
From Link2SD, I m able to see that sdext2 is mounted.
So for a demo purpose, I installed an application, The auto linking starts but get fails. Not able to create link /bla/bla/ - I/O error.
I did mount that location as RW with root explorer, no luck.
Please let me know what to do and how to resolve it.
Hi
What app did you use to format the sd card?
When i format my sd card using the cwm, i have to format the ext particion using easeus to ext2 particion, witch is the format that the stock rom suports, when i did that, i go to the app, select ext2 and reboot the device, that does the trick
Tell if it works for you

Hi psicop,
Thanks for your reply, I used MiniTool.
Please suggest how/what to do..
I partitioned my sd with CWM and used A2SD, and it works fine.
Maybe you could try to partition it with CWM?

Link2SD automatically moves all files in SD. Its seems better that A2SD. Correct me if I m wrong.
Also, please tell how to flash recovery to CWM ? I downloaded 1 click recovery and installed the v5.0.2.8 , at the time of flashing, it display failed.
Please direct me from where you did that...
Please help someone, my phone memory is full now... i can also add person to my gtalk or y! messenger....
Do you have clockworkmod recovery installed?
If so, partition your SD from there, and if I'm correct, go to Link2sd, and choose ext4 as partition format... worked for me after numerous fails with other tools...
Edit: search for a tutorial to install CWM. That's how I installed it...

Apps in SD not working
I dunno if its relevant in this thread, but i couldnt find the answer anywhere else.
I partitioned my 8gb class 10 sd card and installed link2sd and all was fine. I created links for most of my apps and everything was fine, until I had to remove my sd card for some data transfer. Now my apps that were shifted previously are not working. For your information I use CM11 in my Galaxy ace.

Seems like you have to reinstall them, dunno why but removing the card might have had created problems.

The problem got solved, when I mounted the script again and did a reboot. When the phone boots, link2sd has to update all the links. There is an option available for this in the settings. Anyways thanks :good:

hey rickwyatt,
Thanks for your work. I am have been able to flash the boot image using your steps. I partitioned my sd card using Miniool Partition Wizard and created one FAT and other Ex3 which also formated the card. When I now boot my racer having sd card inside it does not start. It stays on 2nd logo (Three) and keep coming back. It gets started if the sd card is not in the phone. Any idea what could be the cause of this issue?
Also your steps do not mention if the sd card (after partition) needs to be in the phone when applying above steps, so I did it with both ways but no success.
Your help will be really appreciated.
also, somehting to note that after having deleted the partitions and reverting it back to FAT, phone does get started even with the sd card inside.
Do you know if the above steps (flashboot) will write any data on sd card (either FAT or ex3 partition)? coz If not, then it means my phone is still rooted and I can look into some other tools to create the ex3 partition and see if it works.
-----
UPDATE:
After doing some investigation I found that the process required another partition of format "Linux Swap" (for more than 32 mb) along with FAT and Ex3. Doing this allowed the mobile to start with memory card inside and the phone was rooted. BUT I cannot see an aaps2sd application. Also there is no way in Managing Applications that I can move data. Going to try installing Apps2SD separatly now.
did u succeed?
hi there

Only if you want to remove problems like low internal memory and want to use A2SD
My phone doesn't detect it either.
at start it gives small card with ! mark.
I tried formatting the card wholly with fat32,
I even tried making different partitions fat32+ext4.
In both ways my phone doesn't detect the memory card.
But when I do the update in recovery mode it updates through sd card.
My memory card is perfectly working on PC and other devices.
Try using the partition sd card option in recovery if you want to use Link2SD, A2SD or S2E.
Guys, do the cards ext2 or 3 , not 4. Don't know why but...... It worked for me. And if you partition them, make both partitions primary.

Thank you very much..I had the same problem, I formatted my SD card to ext3,fat32 and a swap partition and Wolla..its working fine:victory:.
There are some issues with ext4 partitions.
ext4 partition are said to be better but they might have some problems.
So if you encounter any, format it completely and delete all partitions. Using your phone recovery to make partition would be better.
Sometimes your second partition(i.e. sd-ext) is not detected by your recovery, and your main fat32 is works fine. Well that happened with me and i searched for solutions for long time. But did get any.
Later i fixed it by flashing the last cwm recovery with which the sd-ext partition was getting detected. Seems like the new version of recovery was the problem. Or something else, I don't know.
Hi Guys,
I hv a 256 MB partition created on my Sdcard but want to increase it to 512 MB...Tried looking for an option in recovery mode but could'nt find anything.
Could you guys pls help me in repartitioning my sdcard.
- Have tried searching xda on the captioned topic but could'nt find any convincing post.

Your SD card will be formatted, old partition deleted, new partition created.

Just in case it isn't clear, you will lose all data on the sd card when you repartition. If you use gparted, you can accomplish the same thing, while preserving the data.

Copy your all data from SD card.
Go to Phone Settings> Storage Settings> Unmount SD card> Erase SD card.
This will delete all your old partitions from SD card.
Now reboot in CWM recovery and partition your SD card according to your need.
Restore your data.
Cheers!!!
Use minipartition tool from a PC, connect your phone as usb storage and it will resize your sd card partition without formatting.
Success
ThanX for the Help Guys...
I have successfully resized my partition to 512 MB using ClockworkMod Recovery. As mentioned by "upconvert"...old partition deleted, new partition created.
Would like to share my experience with the below tools...
GParted - Itz an 100 MB ISO file & after downloading got to know that it can be used only from Boot mode :bad:
MiniTool Partition - This one has a pretty neat UI & the setup is sized just 14 MB. The problem here was the Resize option didn't work for me. Not sure on the exact reason , maybe it requires the memory card to be connected using a card Reader & not as a USB storage.

I don't know why minitool partition didn,t work, I personally used it on a phone connected as usb storage. Maybe there is a problem with order of operations (delete one partition before resize the other etc. but i'm not sure).
Anyway I'm happy that you solved your problem.

Can you provide a tutorial on how to do that? I have a 16 GB SD card. Out of the 14GB available, 13GB is my main partition. 1 GB is my app partition. I want to increase the app partition without formatting my SD Card.
Thanks!
MiniTool Partition Wizard 10 worked perfectly for resizing a 16GB to 64GB for the kids' Kindle Fire tablet. I initially cloned the 16GB partition to the 64GB using WinDiskImager32, then resized it afterwards.
Hello everyone. I recently underwent a forced upgrade to an LG Optimus F3 after my Kyocera Rise almost started a house fire. I am trying to get all my apps on the thing and everything has gone smoothly. However when I tried to install FIFA 14, which is a large app, I receive an error message.
i imgur com/xhlUueG.png
This is baffling, since I have over 25 GB of space remaining on the card.

Any advice on how to resolve this problem would be appreciated.
Things that may be ****ing stuff up:
-I literally took the SD card straight from the other phone and put it in this one.
-I have been installing a lot of stuff today.
-I don't really know what else.

No, I do not. Would you recommend I install it?
I thought the problem might be coming from the fact that the SD card was used in another phone. So I used the Erase all Data option in Settings > Storage, but the problem persists.
Can anyone help, or do you need more info?
Maybe I need to format the card another way?
And pardon the double post, but here's another screenshot, this time of ES File Explorer.

Is it normal for there to be two directories there?

I could really use some help figuring this out. I used Aparted to delete the partition and create a new one but still no change. Is there anywhere else or some other subforum where I should be posting this, or is there a way for me to figure this out on my own?

Well, it shows my SD cards under Settings > Storage, but I'm not seeing an option to move apps to SD on the app menus.
I also hard reset my device, but apparently the problem still persists. When I get home imma try the other SD card and see if there's a change.
No change with the other SD card, so it must be a phone error. Any ideas?

Yes, I just rooted my phone. However, the problem persists, and I still don't have the option to move apps to SD card. I'm not sure what you're getting at in the second sentence though, sorry.
Okay what I mean by the second sentence is that Aparted is available for pc and as apk for android, which one did you use??? And when you partitioned the sd card what format did you use NTFS, FAT32, FAT16 etc.... and also did you wipe the sd prior to formatting it???

I used the android one, a fat32 format, and yes.
Okay, basically what I think is going on is that my phone just doesn't support apps on SD card. Something about the way my filesystem emulates an SD card or something, so it's not a capability I can just unlock from the phone. Anyway, I've been able to sort of work around the problem by using link2SD with an aparted partition, which looks like it's working perfectly, as far as it goes. If anyone else runs into a problem like this and finds a better solution please let me know!
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Awesome, and link2sd is one of best app2sd apks available....cheers man

I want to install apk directly to my external SD Card because my internal only has 2gb of memory.
I tried searching for some tweaks and i found one using terminal emulator, i put the commands and it says 2[external].
Is it succesfull? And why there is a WARNiNG sign, im afraid of that.

Yes mini partition is best option for making partition...
But u can also use link2sd without second partition...
But if you don't use second partition.. Then only little problem occurs..
That the apps u linked to sdcard card becomes unavailable when u connect ur device to pc.. Because sd card mounted on pc...
This can be overcome by using second partition....
But I think its not a big problem...
One thing you can also make partition using ur recovery..

FIRST MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SDCARD...
Go to recovery > Choose advance option... > Sd partition..
Then select partition size which suits your needs...
(Make sure you choose ext4)
