I have searched and can't quite find an answer.
I have 2.2 on my Ideos, used Amon Ra recovery to partition my SD card. How do I enable or install or activate apps2sd for myself? Is it a kernel thing or is there a scripts or app i can run to start using my sdcard ext parition as memory?
Sorry if this has been anwered 1000 times before...
Thanks for any information.
you can use app2sd and move2sd enabler with your stock rom or can you can use a custom rom that support app2sd+ script formatting your sd with a ext3 partition
Thanks for the info.
I know that froyo has native apps to sd support, and I probably worded my question wrong. I think I meant to ask how does one get apps2ext to work. Judging by your response it's a ROM thing, cooked into it eh.
Thanks.
we have no app2ext rom at the moment for our ideos
DJDROID-Ideos has apps2ext doesn't it?
App2sd plus

Yesss!!! DJDroid Ideos have App2sd plus [work with Ext2 Ext3 Ext4]
the Mod is in ramdisk and script in init.d for Ext4 you must mod Kernel
So it's gotta be cooked into a rom though right? Or is there a script or something that will install it on my phone's current rom?
Thanks.

You MUST mod the boot.img and than you can add a script
Thankyou, that's exactly what I wanted to find out.
Im realy new to this. I just rooted my phone.
Now from whath i understand thath you can install apps to the sd card if you Partition it,and you need a custom rom thath supports it (right??)
Now i saw on youtube thath you can Partition your sd card using rom manager.
my questtion is
1. is this a good way.cause i know there are other ways.
2.if i Partition trouth rom manager will i just be able to install a rom thath supports app2sd and thaths it.
3.if i do number 2 will i be able to install this rom and have app2sd(i really want it) ,,RCS MixHD v3.0,,
4.on the rom ,,RCS MixHD v3.0,, it says
,,,A2SD version - Fat + Ext3/4, 0.5-1.5GB recommended,, explain please
make partitions from recovery. it's the best idea for this operation. also you can install link2sd from market. it's ap2sd menager with GUI.
just a word of advice, backup up all your apps, (apks and data) and also your media files before partitioning (just in case)
mybackup or titanium backup are both good.

To make partition easier , try partition wizard , u can get it from download.cnet for free . Please note that this is for pc , not android phone . The reason why i would recommended you to use this is because you can resize your FAT partition and make a ext2 partition instead of format your FAT partition . Generally , you won't loss any data on your sdcard with this method . For moving app to sdcard , just use link2sd which is available at market as well as in this forum , just simply search for link2sd . This app is awesome as it lets you to choose app that you wish to move . I didn't change my rom and it works fine so far . Give it a try !

BUT this work ONLY with internal sdcard, not with ext card like the man said
i know that i am looking for a solution since 2 weeks and no way as i seen
Obviously one of the great reasons to root is to "trick" the phone into believing it has more internal mem/move apps to the sd card. I have am first time droid user and am running into limitation issues already. Question then:
is it necessary to partition sd card manually (I am not extremely tech savvy and seems very complex) or is it possible that installing a custom rom (i.e. megatron) partitions the sd card when installed.
Thanks for patience, I would really like to take advantage of this, but can't really find a straight-forward instruction/advise.
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

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

I have Install [UNOFFICIAL] [ROM] [4.2.2] [29.3.13] Android Open Kang Project (AOKP)|Build #1 - P500
But link2d is not working.
I tried formatting ext2 and ext4, no result was not, error mount script.I knew it or not enough memory or wrong permissions set.
I mentioned that Titanium Backup can delete system apk you need to unmount the partition.
I removed the system software of Google voice search, voice dialing, search . (Titanium Backup / un-install all user & system apps)
Run Link2sd :victory:
I also had problems with link2SD.

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 !

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.
pls help me ...i am new to these things
1: i made ext3 in recovery and flashed cm10...installed s2e ,everything worked great.. got 1gb ext3 and installed apps on it...
2:next flashed "sense 5.0"(only rom zip)by "hpsgill" and made restore using titanium....now i cannot use my sd-ext and my internal memory is getting low...but able to move apps to sdcard(fat32) as native apps2sd by os..
3:folders of /data,/sd-ext are empty on root...
What to do to use my ext3....?pls help me
Should i make partition every time whenever i flashed a new rom?
or should i flash any extra zips?
pls help me .....
use recovery always install ur sense rom, 1 time is enough create sd-ext partition. dont use app2sd try shekuthanwar memory script. it move ur data, apps..
Hi;
i am a noob in the android world and i need a help
i have a sammsung SGH-I857 with 2.2.2 android version & 2.6.332.9-perf karnel version which is rooted
I want to release the maximum possible space of internal phone memoir because it small (177MO ONLY) 89.30 MB of space it used.
I would move them to the SD card (8GB) or remove them if it's possible ,but I do not know how knowing that my phone has never been changed at the ROM or Kernel or Recovery or anything like that
I also read that before anything i should use a custom recovery and make a backup of my current set up, so in case something gets messed up, i can restore the backup and be as good as new!,then install a ROM that can do what I want if it's possible
the problem is that I can not find how I did lots of research, but I have not found those for SGH-I857
so if you could tel me how ,done please & thank you in advance

First, you need to install Mount2SD or Link2SD, it will link (replace) your apps to SDcard. You can find it Mount2SD here and then you need to partitioning your SDcard first, just follow this instruction and you also get Link2Sd from here. I guess these apps don't need custom ROM or kernel to work. But custom recovery, like CWM or TWRP is necessary needed to do full backup (Nandroid Backup) of your current stock ROM.
Well, for custom recovery you can try ROM Manager (It's free app on Play Store), it will help you to install CWM Recovery. Or you can try TWRP Manager (it's also free app on Play Store) to play with custom recovery by TWRP.
Good Luck.
DO WITH YOUR OWN RISK.

is this the only solution? because I read that there a lot of people who could not make the SD card as it was (non-partitioned)!!

That's the only solution that I know. Just have a try, coz it's fine too if you only have class 4 SDcard.
oK i will thanks
hey , i have the same phone this is what i have done to gain 2go of app memory , root it with superoneclick , partition your sd using minitool partition wizard make one partition fat32 and another linuxswap make them both primary (ps: don't use your phone to partition) then instal link2sd and mount second partition fat32 ....linuxswap partition is the second partiotion for apps.... you are done ...just every time when you install a new app go to link2sd click on the app you want to move to second partition and then click create link. that's it

There is no current custom recovery solution for the Samsung DoubleTime (SGH-I857).
I am however trying to make this exist as well as a whole other ROM option that may allow Gingerbread to be ran on the device. So far the base of operations has been the thread in which Dardour has posted a link to above. That however seems to be broken.
