Firstly, I am running Valhalla Final 2.3.6 ("Happy Holidays") and using the KI3 Kernel. I'm almost Positive my issue is not related to the ROM or kernel.
A couple of weeks ago I was attempting to get Link2SD app to work properly (it never has but I kept trying every few weeks thinking Link2SD app would get updated and it would work) on my EXTERNAL Sdcard's 2nd EXT4 patition. I ended up with a soft bricked phone.
And my Sdcard appeared to be wiped. I restored the backup of my EXTERNAL Sdcard to my Sdcard (Internal).
Prior to restoring the backup of my EXTERNAL to Internal I used to have a "Long" menu list in Recovery. That List included options like
external
external/sd
tapatalk
tapatalk/download
They aren't listed anymore.
This is what my Menu looks like in Recovery (CWM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v3.0.2.8.) now;
Android/

LOST.DIR/
Removable Disk/ Removable Disk/ Was NEVER an option for me.

and then my ROMS and Kernels Boot Anamation ect.
My Sdcard NEVER looked like this before my restoring of EXTERNAL to internal.
HOW do I fix this?? I've been searching for 2 weeks and haven't found anyone with a problem like this or solution... my phone works properly but I know this is not the way it should be.. I NEVER had a Removable Disk option before.
Any Help/Insight on this issue will be Greatly Appreciated and Thanked.

I see nobody has responded to you... but I do not see a problem. Maybe more explanation of your concerns.
The after restore list looks similar to mine. It is showing you the contents of your sdcard (folders & files).
EDIT: Not sure if you are aware of this thread: [GUIDE] Link2sd setup and installation
Did you set both partitions to primary? Don't format to Ext4, just use FAT 32.

Thanks for your reply..
My major concern was that after I dragged, dropped and restored my sdcard backup my menu list in Voodoo Recovery looked much different than it had ever looked before.
Specifically The Removable Disk option (I had NEVER had that option before).
Also. I no longer had external/ or external sdcard/ in my options list.
I thought I had dropped my EXTERNAL SD backup into my INTERNAL sdcard. But you say mine looks similar to your's so I guess I'm ok.. it was very disconcerting to see a much different Recovery Menu than the one I had been seeing for a year.
I had used an Excellent Guide by desexton to get an EXT4 partition on my External sdcard and it worked Flawlessly on Froyo and was hoping to have it work the same way on Gingerbread.. Other members have also been having issues with an EXT4 Partition (External sdcard) on Gingerbread.
The Guide you posted says to make the Partition EXT3. I am going to look into the Guide you posted tonight after work.
Thank you for your reply. I feel much better now that someone has replied that their menu looks like mine.
Have a Great Day!
Hi there,
I'm trying to use A2SD, since the HTC ChaCha has a ridiculously small amount of internal storage... After following the instructions thoroughly (Partitioned with MiniTool Partition Wizard, 1 partition Fat32, 1 partition EXT2 of 1024MB and then i flashed the A2SD zip through the CWM Recovery)
I installed Quick System Info Pro to check whether it's working. But the A2SD shows "no information available". My Application Manager tells me I only have 86MB left (I haven't installed much, yet, because I want A2SD to work first)
So after searching the internet for I few hours, I couldn't find anything like my problem. I tried the a2sd diskspace command in terminal, which gave me the errors "Darktremor Apps2SD may not have ran during boot. Cannot read a2sd.mountpoint" and "SD Card not mounted".
I can access my SD card with no problems at all. What's going on?
Can somebody help me? T.I.A.!
As far as I know the SD partitions only work if you create them with CWM. I'm pretty sure there was someone else posting a similar problem with a partition created using linux.
Try partitioning with CWM and check if that works.
I've tried partitioning via CWM before, but A2SD didn't work. Therefore I tried using MiniTool...
Well, did the whole thing over. Partitioned via CWM. Flashed A2SD zip again.
QSI: "A2SD-storage: No info available"
I ran a2sd diskspace in terminal again. This time I get the errors "No a2sd.swap environment variable found" and "Darktremor Apps2SD may not have ran during boot. Cannot read a2sd.mountpoint"
If I try a2sd reinstall i get the "DarkTremor Apps2SD may not have ran..." and "No SD mounted"
Darktremor A2SD working on HTC ChaCha but only for ext2
I dnt knw reason but i tried ext3 it dsnt work..(Partitioned with MiniTool Partition Wizard)..but when i tried ext2 it worked again Partitioned with MiniTool Partition Wizard...
but in command a2sd partlist it shows that my rom support ext2 and ext3 but dsnt support ext4.
But actually it is not supporting ext3 as well..
Doesn't CWM make a partition as EXT2 by default?
NO

No only make partition as EXT3 by default.
i'm using latest version of CWM 5.0.2.8..
Anyway.
First I partitioned with MiniTool 1 Fat32 and 1 Ext2. Didn't work.
The second time with CWM partition Ext3 it still won't work.
Anyone?
if ext2 is found during installation it will work without do anything
to check if it works type a2sd check
if ext2 is created after install type a2sd check then a2sd reinstall
(execute using adb shell ex. adb shell a2sd check)
Nope, didn't work. Maybe it's because i was using the stock rom, and the rom might refuse.
I installed CM7 now, but it's not really satisfying... I JUST WANT MY CHACHA WITH MORE THAN 150MB SPACE.
Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using XDA App
try to create ext2 partition after installation. because during installation CWM by default format SD ext partition and convert ext2 partition to ext3 partition (you select option to format SD ext or not but it 'll format SD ext partition during ROM installation). you can check it in (Mini Tool Partition Wizard) it 'll show 2nd partition as ext3 after ROM installation .. So try to convert ext3 to ext2(Mini Tool Partition Wizard) after ROM installation then open terminal in your mobile or use adb shell enter command a2sd check then a2sd reinstall.. i had same problem but solved it by this method now its working perfectly..

I think stock ROM does not support ext2 partition. but custom ROM are available that based on stock ROM and support a2sd and ext2 or ext3 partitions.
Can anybody confirms that Does stock rom support EXT2 partition.?
That's a negative. Stock ROM does not have support for extended partitions at all.
Latest SuperOSR released has an updated kernel which includes ext partitions support.
I'm using a modified stock ROM (removed a few useless APKs). On one ChaCha I have Link2SD working with an EXT3 partition, but with another it refuses to work.
The software version I'm using is 1.57 (the HTCdev one). Does this means that this version supports EXT2/3?
Valid and working properly on latest SuperOSR build. Screenshot attached.

its not about ROM but kernel and official htc kernel only support ext2. no supprt for ext3 and ext4
To enable a2sd, after flashing the ROM go to market & download terminal emulator.
Follow instruction below:
Key in:
su
a2sd check
a2sd reinstall
Phone will reboot once.
su
a2sd check
a2sd zipalign
a2sd cachesd
Phone will reboot again & woot! app2sd+ enabled
If you facing problem for a2sd not detect the ext partition was ext4 but not ext2/ext3, after flashing ROM please re-partition your ext again. This should fix the issue. <<< hope this solve your issue.

Yes! I'd like to know! Because the stupid unstable CM7 is driving me crazy! I don't know what irritates me more, the lack of storage or the lack of a proper working phone...
How is CM unstable? What do you mean by that? Do you have any problems with it? FC's?

* Camera doensn't work, I know about the issue of the front camera, not working, but rear one doesn't work either.... (And no other camera app will...)
* No longer WiFi tethering HotSpot.
* Facebook App keeps signing out
* My Gmail no longer syncs (and since I can't delete my gmail account to add it again, i can't do anything about it)
1) Up until now you are the only one who reports rear camera not working.
2) There are apps for Wi-Fi tethering.
3) Facebook App - Not using it, unable to find out if the ROM is the issue or other factors.
4) Same as 1) - Have you tried a factory data reset?! That deletes your gmail account.

Well, there you have my point. I don't want to factory reset it every time it doesn't work well... And there is a status bar widget for WiFi tethering, but I can't configure it...
Oh! And I remebered another weird thing. When my phone turns off due low battery, and I charge it. I can't turn the phone on. The LED turn on, orange. And if I disconnect the charger, the LED stays on, and the phone doesn't do anything. I have to remove the battery to be able to turn on my phone...
Edit:
Sorry for being a bit harsh about CM7 not working well and all. Of course I want to put some effort in it to make it work right. It's just... Well I want a super-duper-brilliant working phone! I'm just one lucky cookie to be a trouble shooter, when it comes to being the one GETTING the troubles! I hope you can do something with those issues, let me know if you need more info or logs or whatever!
I am struggling to get Stock ROM and A2SD working.
I fully wiped the phone and installed the latest RUU and all the updates.
I then installed CWM 5028, superuser and then Dark Tremors A2SD.
I then partitioned the SD Card using CWM, but everytime when I load up the phone it doesn't recognise sd-ext.
I tried a2sd check but it says sd-ext isn't mounted so I can't do a2sd reinstall.
I have partitioned the card so many times in CWM, trying with no swap, with swap, 512Mb sd-ext, 1024Mb sd-ext, formating sd-ext after partitioning, tried a different sd card...
Nothing seems to work...
I even tried putting the SD card in my PC and using GParted to change the sd-ext partition to ext2 from CWM ext4, but that didn't help...
I've had this working before so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Does it need a specific version of hboot?

Hmm, I'm using Link2SD with an ext4 partition on CM9. Haven't tried DarkTremor on this one, but afaik I used it on SuperOSR, with the same partition.
It might be something with the stock kernel, but I'm not sure. There was a thread around here regarding Dark Tremor's; you should check that one as well.

Yeah I did think it might be the kernel from what I've been reading. But I first did this setup before there was any custom ROMs available when the phone first came out after s-off with xtc clip, so that worked with the stock rom then.
What I remember from before is when you open up CWM and go to mounts and storage, if it is working correctly then it should be mounted in there without you having to manually asking it to mount it.
Mine is never mounted in there, but mounting it manually seems to work...
I can read the partition in windows using ext explorer
I did read some install notes that says you should mount sd-ext in CWM before installing A2SD in CWM. I might try that and see if it makes a difference, but I'm pretty sure the install script does all that...
Maybe I should try Link2SD? I did look for A2SD+ but I couldn't find a download link for that.
hi, i have formatted my sdcard with gparted. i have an ext2 1gb partition and the rest is fat32. when link2sd ask for the type of the second partition it couldnt mound the ext2, so i checked fat16/32 to see what is happening. it was mounted it so i moved some apps. Now those apps wont start (not exist message) and i cant reinstall them or install any apps from google play because the phone quick reboots when it should finish the install. What should i try to be able to install apps again? (Oxygen 3.0.0 ics rom, rooted with cwm)
go into recovery and fix permissions, reboot, go to app manager and clear data for download manager app and try again
or uninstall all apps, go into recovery and do again a repartition
or u can reflash another ICS 4.0.4 ROM that has terminal command for data to ext and do not use again link2sd

Try partition your sdcard again within the recovery mode. I am on JB 4.1.2 already and I did not use link2sd either. Instead I use INT2EXT4+ Works fine for me.

agree, the only way (that only works for me) to partitioning the sd card by using recovery
i made a afctory reset and repartitioned the card with cwm. im not gonna try link2sd again, try INT2EXT4+ instead. which rom has jb 4.1.2?

There are other choices, but these are the one I can using:
1. [ROM][4.1.2][CM10][UNOFFICIAL]LG Optimus One Family CM10[Jan. 8, 2013: Build 7/Final]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811325
or
2. [ROM][CM10-MOD] CyanogenMod 10 with CM10.1-Features
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096721
Differences are:
[1.] is direct from the developer, so trimming the Rom is required while [2.] finished trimming for you, just flash and use :good:
[1.] GAPPS installed in the /system/app while [2.] flash the GAPPS in the /system/cache
[1.] GAPPS uses JB 4.1.2 while [2.] uses mod JB 4.2 so even though it is CM10 but it looks like JB 4.2. Like the round deskclock especially :fingers-crossed:
Enjoy
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.

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.

hi ! 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.
