I'm not a programmer - I just did my first root of my Galaxy S4 Blaze last month so please bear with me.
This morning I flashed a different version of CM 11 because of some weird things happening with the nightly I got a couple of days ago; that worked fine. This is what I'm using and have been using since about a month ago, except for the last few days:
cwm-11-20150119-NIGHTLY-t769.zip
Got all my apps and data back thanks to Titanium Backup, everything is working fine. But when I reinstalled Link2SD, I set it to Ext4 as it was before and I get this error:
"Mount Script Error - mount script cannot be created. Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare(0)."
Link2SD was working fine before the ROM change. When I partitioned it, the second partition was Ext4. I tried uninstalling Link2SD, rebooting, reinstalling and then trying the other Ext (2, 3) with the same result.
Not knowing what else to do I backed up my card and used Mini Partition Wizard to delete and recreate the partitions (FAT32 and Ext4) . Exact same error in Link2SD.
I tried making both partitions FAT32, same error.
I have no idea what else to try here. Could something have happened to my SD card while it was in the phone this morning during the
ROM change? I find that kind of hard to believe. Can someone help me, please?
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I can see you've also created an identical thread here:
[Q] Can't mount second Link2SD partition in CM 11
Please refer to the XDA Forum Rules for information regarding the duplication of posts/threads. I'm going to close this thread as you're already receiving help in the other one. If it turns out that the help you're receiving there doesn't resolve your issue you might want to ask your question in the link2sd thread here:
[APP][1.6+] Link2SD
But, only do that if your own thread goes nowhere, don't have the same discussion in multiple places at once, again refer the the XDA rules for more information.
Good luck!
Thread closed.

Hello, Folks- Apologies for the questions that are to follow, but I've pored forums, how-to's, etc., and have not been able to find a clear all-in-one post that addresses the questions I have. I've been able to cobble together information from various posts, but some of the information seems to conflict and some of the information I just plain can't put together, especially when comparing older posts with newer. I have a rooted EVO 4G, use ROM Manager, Clockwordmod, and primarily CM7 daily builds although I like to play with other ROMS. I'll try to put the questions in what I consider the order of importance.
1. Is it even preferable to use sd-ext over the standard .android_secure location for apps moved to the SD card? I've noticed that Clockwordmod backs the .android_secure, data, etc. folders when doing a ROM backup and they restore just fine whenever I'm playing around with different ROMs. Also, I recall seeing that some ROMS don't support sd-ext application storage which makes me feel a bit hinky.
2. I'm a very experienced Linux user and would prefer to use GParted to resize the current fat32 partition to keep the data already existing there, and then add and ext3 partition. Just to be safe I plan to move all sd card apps back to the phone beforehand. Is it advisable to do it this way or will the data remaining on the fat32 partition screw things up once I start using the ext3 partition?
3. When using GParted (if that's advisable), do I need to specify the mount point for the new ext3 partition or would a ROM/Clockworkmod/ROM Manager automatically recognize it and mount it appropriately for SD app usage without my specifying the mount point?
4. If I do need specify a mount point in GParted, what should the mount and folder be called?
5. And finally, do I need to use a third-party app along with all this to get the app storage to sd-ext working? CM7 appears to have its own setting for using ext3, hence this question.
Once again, apologies for these basic questions, but I've run into so much old/new and conflicting/incomplete information on these topics that I can't tell what info is outdated or valid. Thanks to anyone willing to wade through this long post!

Worked fine, but CWM backup still says "No sd-ext found. Skipping."
Being the fiddle-monkey I am, I went ahead and did what I described above.
I did not label the partition in GParted. I used S2E and everything seems to have gone quite well. I have tons of free on-board memory now.
The only remaining question I have is this:
I did a Clockwordmod backup, and it appeared to be backing up all the apps I have installed judging from the file names that flew by. However at the end of the backup the familiar message "No sd-ext found. Skipping." appeared. I seem to recall reading something about this but did not understand why that message still comes up for some people. I know (?) that the apps have migrated because of the free space on board.
Can someone explain this? Am I headed towards trouble in the future?
Refer to Thread 1338708
I was also searching for the answers to the questions raised in your first post. I think they are well answered in the post:

Not sure about the second post though :-(
I will post my results once I do a backup via CWM-recovery to see if they match.
Hello XDA,
Before anything, I just wanted to introduce myself, and say thank you. My name is Tyler, and i've had a LG Optimus V for Virgin Mobile for a few months now. I've heard about rooting your phone, but have always been afraid to on the risk of bricking it. Thanks to this AMAZING site/forum and all the great and wonderful people that post on it, I did some research throughout the forum and found so much helpful information that I had grew enough confidence to root my phone. Now here I am, 2 days into my rooted phone! So honestly, thank you XDA, everyone has been so helpful and great.
Now, on to my question . I apologize if this is not in the correct spot in the forum, but I was unable to post in the development due to this being my first post. I'm trying to partition my SD card so I could save my internal storage space, and install to my SD. I looked at a few other posts, and gathered as much information as I can. Basically, here is what I have done so far:
1) Download/Installed Link2SD on my phone.
2) Connected SD to my PC, and using MiniTool Partition Wizard I created 2 partitions for the SD card.
As I read in a few other posts, I know there are some things to remember when partitioning. Please let me know if there is anything I missed. I created my first, main, partition. From my 4GB card, I made the first partition 3.4GB. Made sure it was "Primary", and a file system of FAT32. The remaining 306MB I created my 2nd Partition. This one, also "primary", and a EXT2 file system. Applied all settings.
3) Restored all my original files back to Partition1 of card.
4) Mounted card into phone, and started Link2SD. This is where my problems are happening. When it starts, I get a note about my second partition, and what file system I want for it. I am given the options of EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, or FAT16/FAT32. Any option I click on I get an error message. Every one says "Mount script can not be created.", but with a different note at the bottom. For the FAT16/FAT32 Option, it still says it cant be created, but theres another line under it saying "mount: Invalid argument"
All of the EXT's have the same error message when clicked on it. It says about the mount script can not be created, but then under that it says "mount: No such device" under that it says "ext2 (or 3 or 4 if that the option picked) may not be supported on your device. Try FAT32 on the second partition"
basically, every option I click I have no luck. I've seen other posts with it working on other Optimus V's. The only thing I could think of is the ROM? Im not too familiar with Rooting, etc. but I got it done. The ROM i'm using is the one given on this site from member: sublimewulf in there post with the HOW TO root optimus V. The ROM is "Stock Rom Rooted and De Odexed minus Bloat" (filename: "Stock Rooted and Optimized.zip") I guess like the filename says, its a stock ROM?
Any help, including a re-walkthrough, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
AND FOREVER XDA!!!
why dont you try partitioning the card through recovery options?
Hi,
first of all sorry for my english.
I like very much your app. I use your app in all phones. When a friend asks me how can he boost his phone, i suggest him to install link2sd because is the only app that move all apps into external sd.
But i have a problem. In my phone, when i have upgrated to KitKat version of Andoid, Link2sd doesn't work with the second partition. I've tried to format the second partition in ext2, and Link2sd said me that "script cannot be created".
I've tried to format the second partition in ext3, but it was the same. I've tried to format the second partition in f2fs, but it was the same.
Only in ext4 Link2sd can create the script and it can see the second partition!!
But when i link an app to the second partition, it doesn't and say me "reboot the phone".
When i've rebooted the phone, the app that i've linked is corrupted.
I researched on internet and it seems that is a problem of Kitkat that prevent to write in the external storage. So i've resolved this problem with this tutorial --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524277
But Link2sd still does not work....
My device name is: 706v92_jbla_fhd
Finally, i want to say that with Jelly bean version of Android, Link2sd was perfect and it worked very well. Now, with Kitkat Android, i cannot link apps to second partition!!
What can i do??

Hi there,
For these problems go to app thread and ask the developer:
[APP][1.6+] Link2SD
Or ask in the right Q&A forum here: > Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck
My phone is Sony Xperia E, it has unlocked bootloader, rooted (usng superSU), and using unofficial cm 11 custom rom. I've been trying to use Link2SD apps since my phone memory's relatively small. My secong partition in my microSD SDHC class 4 Card is 5858 MB. So far, it successful to move apps to SD Card. But whenever i tries to create link in Link2SD, it always failed. It says, "Link2SD package invalid.". Please hep me solve this problem, thank you in advance btw.
Hi,
You can review the first post of the Link2SD thread here, to be sure you are doing everything correct...
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Apps and Games > [APP][1.6+] Link2SD
I'd start also on the last page and read back a bit to see if anyone else has discussed this issue.
If you still need help, you can register on XDA and ask for help in the thread.
Good luck!
Hello, I am Prakhar Mishra, and I own a Micromax Canvas Viva a72. It runs on Gingerbread. It's internal space is really low. Before this, I had rooted it and made a second partition and used Link2SD for storing apps in it. It worked perfectly. Today, I factory reseted my phone, formatted the SD card and create the second partition like before (Ext2). Now, the system detects the Ext2 Partition. But LINK2SD doesnt detect it. It says Failed to create mount scripts. I followed all steps and created the second partition numerous times as Ext2, Ext3, etc. I even tried to use another SD card. But I have the same error. My phone is rooted. Please tell me if there is any solution to this problem, I really need LINK2SD for linking my app's data.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
As there is little resources about your device, all I can really suggest is the non-specific forum:
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly]
Or you can post in the Link2SD thread:
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Apps and Games > [APP][1.6+] Link2SD
Hope this helps, and good luck!
