Hello,
I want to boot the stock ROM from the SD Card. So i must know the Size from the /data, /system, /cache... Partitions.
Did someone know how big they are?
I need to format the partition with ext2 or ext4?
And should i also try the CM10 Build?
Thanks,
My A700 is bricket so that is my only Chance to get it Work.

Sorry for my English...
No one?
If someone has the Root Explorer you can see it beside "installed as r/o (r/w)"

tutorial added to first post. no just remove the revert all settings in the app(and hope they fit into /data) and delete the script its something s2e like the script will automatically move all apps and dalvik cache and everything except /data/data to /sd-ext nothing to configure.

How to Install guide
1.remove all app2sd scripts from init.d folder inside /system/etc you should have two scripts only smothing like 90userinit and 00banner or module if any other script that has 2ext or app in it please delete them.(only app2sd scripts matter no other script)
2.uninstall all related apps for the same scripts.
3.reboot into recovery.
4.under mount & storage(or something similar) chose mount /system & /data and /sd-ext
5.go back and choose install zip
6. select Fixed-Int2ext4+.zip and flash.
7 go back to mount & storage and unmount /data & /sd-ext.
8.format /sd-ext from the same menu.
reboot and enjoy.
Note : this will work for only ext 4 partition(if you format sd-ext using cwm 5 its ext 4) will upload int2ext+ soon if requested.

I've partitioned the SD Card on FAT32 and ext4. For ext4 I made 1 GB. My SD Card is of 16 GB. Rest is FAT32.
The first make partition FAT32 and then ext4.

it mounts your /sd-ext partition as /data hence internal storage is the size that your /sd-ext is.
also its easier to partition with cwm and keep swap as 0.
Help me!

first try installing script without mounting /sd-ext but follow all other steps(mainly mount /system & /data flash script & later unmount /data and format /sd-ext).
If this doesnt work(I seriously doubt it won't still) it means that the /sd-ext partition is corupt(many reasons) so do this flash amon ra and choose fix sd-ext partition the n flash cwm 5 again and format sd-ext partition.
still doesnt work(really still doesnt ?!?!?!) post here the full porblem you face then and if you tried both these solutions.
Good luck.

Unable to enable int2Ext+ (Fixed for JB 4.2.2)
Its becoming annoying as the memory is very low and i barely have a few apps but are needed 200mb internal memory is so low CronModINt2Ext+ fixed for 4.2.X did not work........ :crying:
Also if my recovery is an Issue
Also which recovery is stable enough and formats the sd-ext in ext4 ..... i am using CWM 5.0.2.6
My device is LG P500.......
Thanks
Personally I'm using AmonRA recovery (link in signature).
it formats ext2 and then you can "upgrade" it to ext3 and ext4.
installing the script is very simple:
1) mount /system, mount /data, mount /sd-ext.
2) install zip.
3) unmount /data, unmount /sd-ext.
4) format (wipe) sd-ext
5) reboot

Hi guys,
I'll share some scripts (flashable) that I've made to help with xperia l internal memory shortage.
1. First one is the link2sd-enabler.zip: http://www24.zippyshare.com/v/UduJGjqJ/file.html.
For this to work you'll need a second partition on the external sdcard formated as ext4. So first partition is the vfat one, the second primary partition on the external sd card is the ext4 one. Currently I have a 8Gb ext4 second partition.
Installation procedure: prepare your external sdcard, flash the zip, install link2sd application.
2. Second is the 01link2sdmm: http://www86.zippyshare.com/v/9DSgorlH/file.html.
The link2sd application does not automatically link the oat directory of the application. This directory contains the compiled application in the form of an odex file. For big apps this file is pretty big. So this script will automatically link this directory to the sdcard second partition for the applications that are linked to the sdcard. This works in conjunction with the link2sd-enabler.zip script.
Installation procedure: put this script in the /etc/init.d directory with the proper permissions. This way it will run at boot. If you want to run this directly after you link an app you'll need to use automagic and make a rule to run this script after you exit the link2sd application.
Observations: This script is not needed if you switch the internal partitions because you'll have enough space to keep the odex file internally. It's your choice.
3. Third script is the mm-partition-swapper.zip: http://www10.zippyshare.com/v/eyRO7gLw/file.html.
This one will switch your sdcard and userdata partition on your current mm rom. This was tested on rr573 that I have installed, but it should work in other mm roms as well.
Installation procedure: Make sure you have enough space on the external sd card so the script will be able to save your current data partition files. Save the files that you need from your internal partition to your external sd card. Make a backup of your current rom from twrp in case something wrong happens. Format from TWRP the internal sd card as ext4. Flash the zip. If everything works ok then you'll have a rom with the internal partitions swapped and you'll have 4Gb of user data available (minus your space for the already installed apps).
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Very important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't try formatting the internal sdcard as ext4 with twrp version 3.0.2! It seems that his twrp version does not support this. I'm using twrp 2.8.7.0 by Barbarosa.
Observations: Twrp does not support backing up/restoring internal sd. If you swap partitions you'll have to backup your ext4 internal sd manually from within twrp connected through adb (with a simple tar command)
4. I think 256 ZRAM for the rr573 rom is too big so this zip will change this to 128MB:
mm-128Mb-zram.zip:http://www103.zippyshare.com/v/XjVAnXEl/file.html.
Please make a backup before flashing the swap zip and report if this worked for you.
Hope this helps,
Thanks.

I've been struggeling for quite some time to get the link2sd app working since I flashed MM.
I've done a clean install, flashed the zip, installed link2sd, but I still get a 'mount script error, Cannot create script, mount: no such file or directory.' Anyone got an idea what I do wrong?
thx!

Check if you have in the /etc/init.d directory the 00link2sd script. For this script to work you need a rom with a working init.d (otherwise this won't work obviously...). If you have the script there, then check if you see a directory /data/sdext2 (if this directory is missing, but you have the 00link2sd script in the /etc/init.d directory, then this means you don't have init.d support in the rom). If you partition your sdcard correctly then the second ext4 partition of you sdcard should me mounted in the /data/sdext2 directory ... All these you need to check before installing the link2sd app...
Awesome! Thank you. I'll try this

Then your rom doesn't have init.d support. You need a kernel/rom (more precisely a ramdisk) with init.d support to use this ... The rr573 supports init.d ... Try it with this one ...

I ran slim, RR and CM 13 beta before without any problems, just the storage issue.

I am on stryflex MM ROM and TWRP 3.0.2.
I formatted internal storage as ext4, then flashed mm-partition-swapper.zip.
Says that there is no ext4fs partition and I tried reboot recovery and my phone is dead now, can't turn it on...
I don't blame you, I blame myself for trying. But please help. Flashtool doesn't recognize flash mode.
Don't use this method. Not safe.

Sorry to hear this. If the script gave you this error then the script did nothing to your phone. It just aborted the procedure because it did not find the sdcard formated as ext4. It must be the twrp version. I'm using twrp 2.8.7.0 by barbarosa. I think twrp 3.0.2 does not support formatting the internal sdcard as ext4. Most pobably the twrp version 3.0.2 formated something else as ext4 or whatever instead of internal sd... I did not know this. Sorry again...
Try to search the brick threads. If you still have a blue light when in flashmode I think you still have a chance to resurect it...

I've modified the post to warn people of this twrp version. So, people, use only twrp 2.8.x.x to format the internal sdcard. I'm using 2.8.7.0 twrp version by Barbarosa. I don't know if other twrp versions support ext4 on internal sdcard.

You have to have twrp 2.8.7.0, then format internal sdcard as ext4 (wipe settings) and then flash the zip...

Yes, formatting internalSD as ext4 is tricky. My recovery was broken. Probably formatted something else. It wasn't your script.
However I have no volume up button on my phone (fell out) - no fastboot. And just volume down button (flash mode) and a somewhat broken USB cable. Phone not recognized by flashtool at all...

Ok thanks! One more question, If I somewhat want to undo this, I need to back up the current MM rom before flashing the script? Will the internal sd and /data automtically be swapped back when I restore the back up?

After swapping the partitions your old backups of the rom will not work anymore (or probably they would just revert the swapping. Anyway if you want to restore a backup that's been done prior to swap it's better to format back by hand the internal sdcard to vfat and data to ext4)
For backing up a rom with swapped partitions you'll have to select the sdcard instead of data partition in the backup options... I did not try it yet...

Thank you so much, I needed this!
Didn't swapped the storages yet.
The dream is real!
Congratulations.
Seeking a long time for a script like mm-partition-swapper.zip
Before seeing your post, I had already made the formatting of SD0 (ext4) to try to install Link2SD to work with SD0 without work.
I used the TWRP 3.0.2.
I could easy return the partition to FAT.
I intend to make a clean installation of ROM on my device to then install your mm-partition-swapper.zip script.
As both the "DATA" as SD0 are empty you still think need to format with TWRP 2.8.7?
No way to change this script without the data transfer?
Only formatting partitions and inverted mounts?
If not necessary then ok...but... please clear this my doubts.
Again without getting tired ... very thank you even for your script.
Hello!
Recently I recevied "Encryption Unseccesful" message on my phone. I tried to restore backup, but twrp says: "failed to mount /data". So, internal storage is dead. Found this. But cant find "repartition" menu in the cwm.
Questions is:
1. Do I need older versions of cwm to repartition sdcard? (If you have one, please share )
2. Is there any ways of recovering phone?
Thanks in advance!

tried this, but I think internal storage is corrupted. Is there a way to use sdcard as internal storage?
you can use sd card for apps and other stuff, but as I knoe cannot be used for system files
I made 2 partitions on sd:
4gb fat32
4gb ext4
But I cant bind /data to this ext4 partition. Can you help, please?
What i did:
With TWRP's terminal:
Code:
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data
- Invalid argument (dunno why)
Code:
ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data
- but on phone boot i receive same "encryption unsuccesful" screen.
Edited /etc/fstab - same result.
Files and mount after reboot turn back to its previous condition.
Also installed stock ROM - same message screen.
[/QUOTE]
I got advice that i must do this things with init.d scripts. How can I do this? Already tried "xda's app2sd scripts" but they works if phone completely boots in OS.
