Im realy new to this. I just rooted my phone.
Now from whath i understand thath you can install apps to the sd card if you Partition it,and you need a custom rom thath supports it (right??)
Now i saw on youtube thath you can Partition your sd card using rom manager.
my questtion is
1. is this a good way.cause i know there are other ways.
2.if i Partition trouth rom manager will i just be able to install a rom thath supports app2sd and thaths it.
3.if i do number 2 will i be able to install this rom and have app2sd(i really want it) ,,RCS MixHD v3.0,,
4.on the rom ,,RCS MixHD v3.0,, it says
,,,A2SD version - Fat + Ext3/4, 0.5-1.5GB recommended,, explain please
make partitions from recovery. it's the best idea for this operation. also you can install link2sd from market. it's ap2sd menager with GUI.
just a word of advice, backup up all your apps, (apks and data) and also your media files before partitioning (just in case)
mybackup or titanium backup are both good.

To make partition easier , try partition wizard , u can get it from download.cnet for free . Please note that this is for pc , not android phone . The reason why i would recommended you to use this is because you can resize your FAT partition and make a ext2 partition instead of format your FAT partition . Generally , you won't loss any data on your sdcard with this method . For moving app to sdcard , just use link2sd which is available at market as well as in this forum , just simply search for link2sd . This app is awesome as it lets you to choose app that you wish to move . I didn't change my rom and it works fine so far . Give it a try !

BUT this work ONLY with internal sdcard, not with ext card like the man said
i know that i am looking for a solution since 2 weeks and no way as i seen
Obviously one of the great reasons to root is to "trick" the phone into believing it has more internal mem/move apps to the sd card. I have am first time droid user and am running into limitation issues already. Question then:
is it necessary to partition sd card manually (I am not extremely tech savvy and seems very complex) or is it possible that installing a custom rom (i.e. megatron) partitions the sd card when installed.
Thanks for patience, I would really like to take advantage of this, but can't really find a straight-forward instruction/advise.
This is mail I sent to Link2sd developer
Help me, please!
I have an error call mount warning at boot. Link2sd mount 2nd partition sd card before the scanning media is finished. Once I reboot device I meet mount warning nortification. And I have to use Quick reboot function of Link2sd in oder to mount 2nd partition sd card successfully.
Thank you very much!
Sorry for my bad english
And they reply (thanks them)
Hi,
New Samsung Gingerbread roms do not have install-recovery.sh and init.d scripts to mount 2nd partition at boot.
Therefore Link2SD mounts the 2nd partition after system finishes mounting and you need to perform "Quick reboot" after each "real boot".
But there are some ways of adding this missing scripts to the ROM, search for the internet.
Regards,
Bulent
But I had tried to find in the internet but nothing that i've found
Who can help me??? Thanks a lots
Hello friends,
I'm from Brazil, so I used the google translator to send this message, I'm sorry for that.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Mini Gingerbread with 2.3.4 installed and latest version of Link2sd, but every time I turn on my phone it can not mount the partition EXT2 and asked to give a quick reboot to mount the partition.
Is there any method to fix this?
Thank you.
Hello all
Same problem here...
Samsung Galaxy Ace with Gingerbread 2.3.3 and 2.3.5
Ive serch all internet and nothing solved it....
I've change install-recovery.sh, i recreate it from the begining,i reformat and repartion the sd in all partion type but nothing...
I thing i will return back to froyo 2.2.1...
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.
Link2Sd not working for me on CM10.1 Rom

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.
hi guys.I got micromax a58. rooted.using framaroot. installed busy box , terminal emulater, root explorer and link2sd. I partitioned my 8gb memory card into 6.40gb fat32 primary and tried the second partition in all formats. ext2 ext3 ext4 and fat32. nothing worked. I set both to primary. then I learnt about manual mount script. also could not find install-recovery.sh. could not find it any where. please help me to in grease my internal memory. please please. thanks to every body who help me. at present my second partition is ext2. how to find install-recovery.sh? give me step by step guide. please.

does link2sd detects your second ext2 partition? if yes... pls wait for somebody else to help you.if it is not detected, just follow the steps carefully in the tutorial (link given in first reply).
this is what happened: when I click ext2 ext3 ext4 or fat32 it shows mount script cannot be created. when I see in storage info it says sdcard 2 no mount. intact I followed that guide to partition. 6.40gb primary fat32. and 1gb primary ext2 (at present) tried ext 3 4 and fat 32. every time it shows no mount script. do yo still say that my partition is wrong? please help me. also say where is install-recovery.sh located. if I find that it will be done. note: I use micromax a58
I hope you are using Andrr 4.2 and be sure that you are using latest link2sd app from playstore.I know that some older version of link2sd doesn't support 4.2 . will cause mount script error.
first of all... forget about script now... I cant help you with scripts..But im sure that you can do without a script. because I also faced the same situation that u r facing...
tried all filesystems allways shows me mount error..
but I started from the scratch slowly following each and every step carefully., I succeeded with ext2 filesystem. thats why I told you to follow that steps carefully. .
I dont have any link to tutorial for the scripts for you now..
ill post it here once I get it..
all the best
scratch means? you merged everything and again partitioned it? first I moved all data to system. and I partitioned it as I mentioned previously. total 7.40gb. after deleting all became unallocated. I split it into 2. one is primary, 6.40gb,fat32. another is primary, 1gb,ext2. installed link2sd. selected ext2.(also tried others). it said mount script not created.. also said to try fat32/16. I again inserted in computer. clicked the second partition. clicked delete partition (did I make mistake here?). and the second partition(ext2) became unallocated. didn't touch the first partition. after second became unallocated, I tried fat32. not worked. repeated the process for all.(ext3,ext4) nothing worked. mount script not created. that's why I entered into scripts and downloaded root explorer, busybox and terminal emulator. but couldn't find install-recovery.sh. this is my situation. have I made mistake in partition? help me sir. please.

yes just start by deleting all partition..mini patrition tool is best for this purpose.
try to make ur fat partition as active.
both must be primary
after partitioning make sure your partition showing with size specified by you.you can use diskinfo app from playstore.
do a restart...
still if u cant .......

yes,you can delete all partitions and start again.try to make your first partition as active. use mini partition tool to partition ur sdcard.for second partition
use ext2 filesystem it is supported by almost all roms .if you still stucked try with fat32.
thats all.. if u still not able to mount try those scripts (link already given) at ur own risk.
how to make first partition as active with mini tool partition? I have been using that tool from the beginning. I want to merge those partitions and split it again right?
guys dose anyone knows the what is the data & cacsh type for mount is (fat ) or (exfat4 ) or exfat3 or what
i have install custom rom Lineage and stuck at boot animation for long time ......
so anyone have an idea how to make it work Plz help me
The data partition is F2FS.
It's filing system
And there is no need to ask something with language like this "help meeee"
If u want help, u should make ur subject more respectively because this is international forum.
Next time be carefull.
Thanks.

Data and cache to my knowledge are ext4... not fat.
There is no exfat4 or exfat3, you are extrapolating it incorrectly... there is exFat, Fat12, Fat16, and Fat32 (plus a few others that are of minor importance) that are collectively referred to as "fat" file systems and these are MS-DOS or Windows file system types. The file systems types ext2, ext3, ext4, XFS, JFS, ReiserFS, ZFS, and F2FS are all Linux file system types. These file system types fit into a partition type of MBR (MS-Dos Master Boot Record) or GPT (GUID Partition Table) with the later being used by Android.
None of that has any direct relation I can see to your problem of Lineage not working. What device, ROM, recovery, and process did you use? Did you clean flash? What Gapps? How long did you wait (first boot can exceed 20 minutes)?
You really are not giving us ANYTHING to go on here, just throwing out random questions that are most likely unrelated to your problem.

Cache is part of the data partition IIRC, the system should be ext 4.
