Hello to anyone , this is mine first thread here and to begin , sorry for my English because 'm Italian..
Today I had a problem with installing Android on Nand.
The problem does not affect the operation of Android, but I can not understand why ,after partitioning Micro Sd Card with EXT format , Android does not recognize any SD in the slot-card.I reformatted all the Sd in fat32 and now i can see it in my HTC HD2..I believe that it is not necessary made one EXTpartition but i cannot understand the cause this happens..
Bye to the next time..
ext is generally done to create room for apps via apps2sd..
so if ur version of android do not support ext then dont ext ur sd!!
That was the last version of typhoon of 9 April Ginger 2.3...is very strange...

Bro it doesnt actually matter (though it should have worked for u as u r in gingerbread)!!!!
i know typhoon rom is beautiful,, i have seen it..!!
bt updated version doesnt mean latest version coz the rom developers work upon image files of an operating system.. the image file in the first relese is generally the same in the updated version in ur developers post!!
ANYWZ WHAT IS MY VIEW IS THAT U R USING AN SD CARD WHICH CAME ALONG WITH UR MOBILE!! GENERALLY THESE ARE CLASS 2 SD CARDS AND USING HIGH PERFORMANCE ROMS LIKE TYPHOON AFFECTS THEM A LOT!
so my suggestion is:
1. format ur sd card once from ur computer
2. if still dont work then check the sd card for its class. the number is generally printed inside a circle.. if no number is present then its a class 2 sd card and u should change it to better ur experiences!
note:- there nothing wrong with ur phone(as far as i can c)!!
partition SD card
Hi, I'm Italian too
Actually I can't find a good reason for your problem, the only suggestion I can make you is to try a different approach to partition your SD card. For instance, the one that worked on my device (motorola xt720) is the one explained very clearly in the first two videos (thanks to reverendkjr) that you find on youtube if you type "8 minute Linux".
It's easy if you follow all the step one by one, I'm not an expert, but it's pretty easy. Hope it will help you!
hi all
looks like impossible with android phones as i saw. I also want to do that and store big files (up of 4 Gp) on my external sd card.
you are obliged to first create a FAT32 on sd card and after a ext4 partition but i did'nt at this time find how to use it ( i mean mount in file system and see it and copy files to it ). I am under linux so no problem between pc and smartphone
There is some solution to create partition on internal sd , but ext4 should be less than 2Go !!!! and will be use to move apps on it with apps like apps2sd but not to copy files on it !!!
that's a big hole for android but ????
if you have found solution i will take it !
Sup all, ive seriously searched the whole link2sd thread and have not found any answers for my question so here it is............
After switching from an iPhone, i have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800i on 2.3.4. Ive rooted it with the zergrush exploit and have been trying to get link2sd to work on my 16gb class 10 micro sd card. When I resize the partition using minitool partition manager, which is says on the official thread, it goes without errors, but i cannot create a partition on the 1gb of unallocated space. I know the micro sd card works because it works fine on my psp 2000 (cfw 5.00 m33) Ill attach a picture of my error. It says i need to delete all partitions to create multiple partitions
Hello
I just bought an Xperia L.
internal memory disappoints me.
it's 1.57 n 4gbplus sd card.
can I use sd card for game data as 4gb
isn't enough for me. While buying I thought it'll be 6 n sd. I have 16gb card. How to I install three to four games of about 1.2 gb each? (4.8gb)
There is a tutorial on the forum how to swap internal with external memory which will make your 16 Gb SD Card as a Internal memory.
But be careful and do not format the internal one (will be know as a external after swap) as this will brick your phone. Just swap, do not formate and here you go
link2SD worths a look too

afaik the only difficulty you could find is the sdcard partitioning, but it can be easily performed from the recovery

Thank you for being detailed. I exactly know what are you talking about. It takes just two minutes to setup Link2sd if you are rooted.
The reason I do not like Link2Sd is that once you factory reset your phone, sometimes it corrupts your system files. It happened with me a couple of times. It's just I had a bad experience with it.
Cheers again

I repartitioned my internal SD card and my userdata to use for cm12. I used it, and then I decided to flash stock. While flashing, flashtool gave me an error.
After that, only thing that works are Flashmode, Fastboot and Recovery with adb.
I can't flash anything on recovery, as it says E:/ can't be mounted.
I also tried fastboot flash system system.sin, but it failed.
I took the advice of an xda member to use gparted, but my device isn't recognized, or so I think.
Please help me, I have no warranty over this device, and I also have no knowledge.

I be very brief because of my exam tomorrow. Google /Check XDA posts/ quote me back after google/XDA
Get flashtool for Sony Xperia
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
Install drivers from flash tool
Download ftf for your phone c2105 or 104 . check settings about for this information.(XDA Xperia l general section) @Joel16 he has wonderful guide for all this
Use flash tool to flash stock ROM. Clear portion/cache etc (google how to use it)
See if that works!
Or yoy can use Sony's own tool PC companion(find on Sony mobile website) to repair your phone!
Next Tim use folder mount app to install many big games to sdcard1.
Good luck
Is there any way to increase my Device memory(2gb) by merging it with Internal memory(4gb)? Even though I have 191mb free in device memory,the google maps and all are not getting installed in my rooted phone.
just want to share, I have found the fastest and I think best way of rooting Lenovo P780 pls check this Link http://www.android-root.com/index.htm, Now I can use Link2sd - but you have to partition first your SD Card using Minitool Partition Wizard, You have to make 2 partition - all Primary - FAT32 if you have 4GB SD card or Higher.
I think that the partition where do you want to move the apps in with link2sd would be better formatted in ext4 if the kernel supports it, on my xperia arc I found it slightly faster than fat32 with link2sd.

Although this is possible, and many noobs here will do it, I cannot advise doing this as the risks of hard-bricking your phone are very high.
For example:
You do the swap and then factory reset = Hard Brick
or
You do the swap and then Wipe Internal Data = Hard Brick.
Either way it's not worth it, even with a class 10 sdcard you'll notice how much slower your phone becomes.

I couldn't agree more. A friend of mine has done it with his Ace. Hard bricked.
What I did( Ihave a 32 GB SD card, so yeah), was shrinking my Fat32 partition, and making an ext2 partiton of 2,5 gb. With the help of Link2SD you can move 99% of apps to this partition. I have 110 apps, and my internal memory has 1,2 GB left, and my phone memory 551 mb.
No performance loss, and even a little (may be placebo, I don't know) improvement.
Partitioning your SD card may decrease the the life time, but I find it very effective and handy.
Have a nice day!

hello there sir, I'm interested in your way of doing this, so would you explain it in a more detailed way? I don't really get it...
what do you mean by 'shrinking my Fat32 partition' ?
and what do you mean by 'making an ext2 partition of 2,5 gb' ?
you also stated that your sd card is 32 gb, is this your internal SD card or external SD card?
what's the difference between link2SD from the other apps such as app2sd? and fyi i'm using titanium backup (not pro) and it CANNOT move the apps to my micro sd card (ext sd card)
thank you~

We're talking about the external SD here.
Storage is accessed by partitions. See a partition as a little chunk of code that defines how the storage is used.
A normal micro SD without any modifications will have 1 FAT 32 partition.
What you could do is using a tool like Mini Tool Partition Wizard(Windows only), to shrink the existing FAT32 partition, so there is unallocated space left. Every size is possible, but the unallocated space has to be smaller than the FAT 32 partition. Please note that a Class 10 SD is preferred, or at least Class 6. Lower classes can't handle the app loading very well, and the apps will sooner start to lag.
Now you can create a new partition, since there is unallocated space left. You will use Ext2, Ext3 or Ext4, it doesn't really matter, but Ext2 works 99℅ of the time, so use that one. These are all part of the Linux file system, as your phone memory is. Your micro SD will act like an extra phone memory. But it will be slower, since flash will always be faster than the maximum R/W speed of a SD card.
(Root access is required)
You now have 2 partitions, one FAT 32 and one Ext.... Insert the micro SD card in the phone and download Link2SD from the Play Store. Open it and it will prompt you that it has detected a second partition. Grabt Superuser rights. Select the kind, and let it generate the needed information. Reboot and you're good to go! You can now move any user app to the external SD.
(Way more extensive tutorials are available. Just Google: how to use link2sd? I'm on my phone now, so sorry)
Oh, and the difference between apps like App2SD and Link2SD, is that with the former you can only move apps to the internal SD, and not the external, micro SD. The latter does give you this option, but root is required.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any question!

With Ext I mean Ext2, Ext3 or Ext4. These are Linux file systems. Since Android is based on Linux, Android recognizes this Et2/3/4 partition as a storage where it can write data. A little help from link2SD is needed, but it works fine. If you're still interested, follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142844
It's quite easy to follow.

Hi,
You guys saying about hard brick possibilities. I had swapped my External with Internal. Now after seeing your posts I am thinking of reverting back to normal. Would it cause any issues ? I am not sure how much it would improve the performance though. I am quite sure the lag I have sometime is because of higher RAM usage [I have more than 120 apps installed including games such as PES (more than 150 MB) utilizing 8 GB external as Internal] . I am on Xperia Miro

If you see an app like Superuser or SuperSU installed, it means your phone is rooted...Download any root explorer app and copy the vold.fstab file (in that thread ) in root/system/etc then reboot.

First, swap them as they were than flash stock ftf. It's highly possible to hard brick your J if you don't swap them back.
Good Luck.
