So the thing is, I have Acer z120 it has 1.17GB of phone memory that I can use to save any files and I notice also that data files of other applications are stored here after installation. Then when that phone memory is almost full, I used a app called Link2SD. My SD card has ext4 2nd partition and used the Link2SD to move all my apps to the 2nd partition of my SD card. But there are still other data files of apps that did not move to the 2nd partition of my SD card.
My main concern is: Is there a way that I can expand the phone memory or at least make my phone store all the data files of applications I install in my device to the 2nd partition of my SD card?

[Q]:about Galaxy Wonder having problem with Link2SD
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Wonder (GT-I8150)
What i already know: i know how to use Link2SD with my OLD Galaxy Mini!
1. partition SD with 2 primary parts 1 FAT32 and 2nd Ext2 for extension!
2. plug into unit and install Link2SD and it will automatically read the 1st partition as SD Card and the 2nd Partition as SD Card 2nd Part.
now i bought a new phone Samsung Galaxy Wonder WHICH HAS A BUILT IN 1.70GB USB Storage.. (THIS IS MY PROBLEM using Link2SD)
now my problem is how do i fix this...
i partitioned my 16GB SD Cards into 1st Partition 30GB(fat32) and 2nd Partition 2GB(ext2)
BUT WHEN I PLUG IT IN Galaxy Wonder and RUN LINK2SD, Link2SD Reads the 1.7GB built-in phone USB Storage as the SD Card and 2nd partition 2GB(ext2) from the actual SD Card as it should be...
instead of reading the 1st partition of the actual SD card which is 30GB AS THE SD CARD!! hayyyy help....
Reason i need to fix this..
When i install HD games into my Galaxy Wonder WHICH NEEDS a 450MB "PATCH" (Ex. GTAIII 10th Anniversary) it automatically goes into the 1st partition SD CARD... so i need Link2SD to read the 14GB from my SD Card to be the actual SD Card read instead of the Built-in 1.7GB USB Storage of the phone..
coz when i LINK programs it only transfers the apk, dex (dalvik-cache) and lib into the 2nd Partition.. but the "450MB Patch will stay on the 1st partition...
So How do i MAKE LINK2SD read my 30GB 1st partition from the SD Card "AS THE SD CARD" and not the 1.7GB built-in USB Stroage of the Phone
Thank you very much and God bless!!!
PS.
may i make an upgrade suggestion??
is it possible to make an OPTION to choose which storage will the Link2SD recognize as the 1st partition??
coz my phone has 3 types of storage...
1. 1GB internal memory
2. 1.7GB Built in USB Storage
3. 30GB 1st & 2GB 2nd partition of my 32 GB SD CARD
so my phone selects the "1.7GB Built in USB Storage" as the default SD CARD and the 2nd partiton of my SD Card as the 2nd Partition..
sir Bakpinar is it possible can we make an option that the Link2SD program ask the user which will it recognize as 1st partition?
coz if i set the Link2SD the default installation path to "External" in Galaxy Wonder, it goes into the 1.7GB Build in USB Storage and not in the 1st partition of the SD Card...
Another suggestion if it is possible sir can we not only Link the "apk, dex (dalvik-cache) and lib" files of an application but also the "PATCH" Files that are being downloaded for some HD Games or programs? Example. "GTA3 10th Anniversary"?? it would really be a complete SUPER AWSOME app of all time if there 2 suggestion would be granted ^_^
I have partitioned my sd card in ext. format for more space. And have the internal memory full but there is still a lot of space on the sd card ext. Partition for apps. I just want to move the apps from internal memory to this partition so that my apps work fine and i have my internal memory with free space.
The problem might seem easy to solve. Just by deleting or moving apps from internal memory, but for me its complicated because i don't know which apps are stored on the internal memory and the sd card partition for a2sd... In the apps storage all the apps are shown together without showing which is on the sd ext. partition and which on phone's internal memory. i don't know to move the apps from phone memory to sd card partitioned memory. Any help is appreciated

Use app2sd from play store

Either do as suggested above, or download ROM Toolbox and under App Manager, you can move apps to the SD card and set applications as system apps aswell.

I tried them but my prob is i need to delete or move apps from internal memory... And when i delete any app there is more space freed on sd ext not internal memory. I need to know which apps are stored on the internal memory. Which i can't seem to know

I own a Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013, it is rooted but I still use the stock ROM. I've been doing some tests to see if Link2SD would solve my storage problem. During these tests I noticed that all the big games I linked to the 2 partition of my SD card aren't really linked, as they still are inside the internal storage!!! After that I also noticed in the storage info that I have an external SD card, a SD card second partition and a SD card strangely similar in size to my internal storage!!!! (image attached to help undestand) Can someone explain this to me and possibly give me a solution!!!
No Problem with LINK2SD!!!

I'm using LINK2SD and I don't have any problems.
In fact I have close to 370+ apps (user) and except ENCRYPTED apps (~8) all are in EXT SDCARD 2nd partition.
It is TRUE whenever I'm flashing a NEW ROM - I don't see all those 360+ apps because 2nd partition is not mounted yet (because of new flash).
When I click LINK2SD it again re-creates mount scripts and I have all the apps again.
So far so good.
What I'm saying is that whenever I move a big game like Real Racing 3, Link2SD only moves a couple of MB's that are in the internal memory to the SD card's 2 partition, the 1GB of game data stays in the internal SD card!!! My space problem is a result of many games in my note, so I need to move the game data to the SD card!!
I'm a new Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 owner and need a few pointers on using link2sd. I installed it and understand that since our tablets don't support Apps2Sd natively that we have to move the relevant files to their respective locations onto the 2nd(exFat) partition of the SD card. I understand this however I am not sure how to do it since the tablet can't see this second partition(at least mine can't). If I go to Settings->Storage I can only see my main 16GB internal storage and the 1st(Fat32) partition on the sdcard. No other file managers allow me to see this 2nd partition on the sdcard either. With that in mind, how do I access this 2nd partition to move the linked files to the sdcard?
Dudes, you need to understand, that Link2SD and app2sd DON'T move the big app (game) data from the /mnt/sdcard0/Android folder to your external SD. It only moves the app itself. It was always this case, so I'm wondering about the hype unless you don't have a small app partition.
You have to use Directory Bind or FolderMount for moving big files to external SD. Or simply swap external SD with internal storage.
I have a Oneplus 2 device which has 64GB internal memory but no external SDcard slot. I need to run an application "Citrix Receiver" which obligatorily requires SDcard to perform certain functions. I tried to search for it here in XDA but I only got tutorials for making SDcard work as internal memory but not the other way around. So is there any way I can make a small partition of my internal memory and make it act like SDcard??
I want to keep my files in SD card . Also I want to move apps to SD card at the same time.
I have tried creating 2 partition in SD card using aparted app. Both were in exfat format (means portable). Then I went to settings > storage and formatted one of the partitions as internal storage. But unfortunately both partitions became internal instead of one.
Look inside here:
Make your SD card Semi-adopted. Works great!
EDIT: MARSHMALLOW ONLY I hate the small amount of internal memory, but I don't want to make my ENTIRE SD of 128GB Adopted and unremovable. So I found this post describing how to make your SD only partially Adopted by splitting the partition in...
