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
I have a 16 Gig card partitioned with CWM recovery into 1GB as ext-sd and reamaining as fat32. and then installed hephappy 9.1.4 . I was hoping that i would be able to use the 1GB ext partition to store apps and get red of the LOW INTERNAL MEMORY messages. But I am still getting it. Please suggest a way to get my ext partition working . Thanks in advance.
It has no built-in app2sd script that automatically moves apps. You have to install something like link2sd or davisnt's excellent script. Your question was already answered on the same thread that you got the rom from and has been mentioned several times in the thread. You'll learn a lot about this rom if you go back and read the thread again. Good luck
I had already tried all that before and like i said above the partition was not visible, hence i posted here. anyway I figured out the problem, Somehow the CWM recovery was unable to partition the SD card properly or may be the formatting was improper, as a result of which the Partition was not visible to Android.
So I Solved it b partitioning to ext2 using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition, I reinstalled CM9 hephappy from the card, and installed "link2sd" app, which at once recognised the ext2 partition on the card. and rest was easy.
@mrcorey i did read a lot of posts on that 134+ page Thread. but most of the posts were irrelevant junks by noobs and experienced users lambasting them.
@moderators. you can mark this thread as solved. Thanks
I executed your instructions from "HOW to root & install cwm recovery by androsamace" of the XDA post with success:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2693049
Then I tried to use the app "Link2SD" and got the error "Failure. App2SD is not supprted by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage."

Android version 4.1.2. Samsung Galaxy young duos.
Link2SD
32GB micro SD with partitions as: 1st Primary 25GB FAT32, 2nd Primary about 4GB, 3rd primary Linux swap 900MB
Strange thing is.... Link2SD of 18kb update to PRO results with the error "inefficient storage", but installing the APP clash of Clans, with a wopping 40+ MB is no problem??!!!
I can Link apps with Link2SD.
What can I do to solve this? I can not even install the Links2SD pro update from Google play store.
Many thanks
I tried to call on my Samsung phone --> *#9900#
This will show the Sysdump menu. I pressed the option "Delete dumpstate/logcat". In the post below, it worked for that person, but for me it does not matter. Remove the spaces to get the link... working

Anyone more ideas?
Solution I also tried: Install the app "App Cache cleaner 1 tap clean". But It didn't find any cache to clean.
I cleaned everything before, with Link2SD app already.
Funny to mention that this app can be installed too, and that only certain apps display the inefficient storage error....
Ayone more ideas? please!

Remove the spaces to make a legal web address.
this post mentions about Odex files. How can I remove them automatically / manually?

this is what you need
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpf0OrI8FNA&list=UUJ9UJTj9e59u0gt1a3aovVg
and ignore the external2internal app part in the video use this new updated guide for that one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-young/general/swap-internal-sd-card-external-sd-card-t2817853
First Thanks for the helping, but I still got the error "inefficient storage problem".
So I cannot install "Root External 2 Internal SD" to try swapping internal with external sotrage.
Any ideas how to solve this error?

what is the partition type for the second partition on your card link2sd will only work on ext2 ext3 or ext4
It's ext4 and in the app link2SD I chose ext4 also.
I am using frameroot version 1.9.3 btw...

I installed X-sam's Rom. And the error "no efficient storage problem" is no more. Before the app Link2SD plus update would give the error.
But after the ROM update the error is gone. =)
The link to X-sam's Rom's forum thread:

Going to give Root External 2 Internal SD now my problem is gone.. =)
I installed the APP Root External 2 Internal SD from Android play store.
The steps mentioned in :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-young/general/swap-internal-sd-card-external-sd-card-t2817853
At first I did not see a change like my internal memory being swapped with external,if I look into settings/storage.
My internal storage is still about 1GB free and my external is about 24GB.
I found out that I deleberately have to press the checkbox"At boot **" two times!, the box right of the button "External > internal".
The checkbox is default already checked, but is not active!!!!
Only after doing that, I saw in my Android phone settings/storage, that both internal and external are both about 24GB.
That indicates that my Micro SD is being used as internal storage. After another reboot my internal is 24GB and my external is about 1,2 GB. Everything is a-ok!
I tested it with large APP's like "Plants vs zombies 2" which is about 400MB big. The game could be played without problems!
Just AAAWWESome! :highfive: to you r2dak!
Internal storage is used even if the APP internal 2 external is running. Using Link2SD paid version to move extra Megabytes off my precious 1.5GB internal storage towards my Micro SD.
I installed a lot of APPS, and still got 1,1GB internal memory free ! :laugh:

I recently joined your forum(today ) and I made this thread because I couldn't find out a solution.
I use a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S and I want to partition my SD Card for more internal space...I did it! But it only works on CM 12 or above... I don't want just to make a second partition and send the apps there...I want as it worked on cm 12... second partition was recognized as internal space...on phone settings it was sawing 1.72 GB of internal storage and no 420 MB as the ordinary for this smartphone is...Now...I 've tried with many ways to do the same thing on cm11(KitKat) because it was a little bit laggy on cm12 and I want the phone to run smoothly...But it doesn't wok...I can see my second partition on APP2SD but the phone doesn't recognize it as official internal storage...What can I do to fix this? Thank you for your time and hope you can help me!
I partitioned my sd card with minitool partition wizard...the main sd space was FAT32 and the second partition was ext4.
Sry for my bad English I am from Greece.

Hey Guys I found that the rom just isn't supported for this...an other also rom that supports this feature is ULTIMATE HD ROM with DOOMLORD kernel...How can i close the thread or something?
Hello, anyone had success with Link2SD / FolderMount / or any Apps2SD apps? I'm running out of storage space due to heavy games like FF IX, trying to play around with Link2SD and Apps2SD but I'm not having any luck so far, afraid I might corrupt my sdcard with ongoing repartitioning (over and over), any guide that works for our phone would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ive been using Link2SD for quite some time and it works... I did manage to link apps and heavy games to sdext2... Just be sure you have a good sd card to work with...

Well I'm not a pro but I'm sure that it's not only the sdcard which makes Link2SD working . Think that the Firmware is the problem, because on my device Link2SD doesn't work either . I'm running a rooted Sony Xperia Z5 Dual E6633 with Android Nougat and neither Link2SD nor Apps2SD is working.
1st Issue:
If the System recognizes a second (primary) partition after the fist partition you'll get a message which sais that your SDcard is damaged and needs to be formatted
2nd Issue:
Link2SD/Apps2SD cannot access the second partition .... even if it's there. You'll always get some error messages
FolderMount works for me on my device. Think it's because I do not try to link the folders to the second partition on my sdcard. I do link some stuff from the internal storage to the first partition of my sdcard
