Hi, I am a user from India. I have been having some problems with Link2SD on my phone. I have a really old phone which is Micromax Canvas Viva A72.
It runs on Gingerbread. The biggest drawback of the phone is it's internal storage. The internal storage is really low. I had rooted this phone, and I have created Ext2 partition before. Link2SD detected it perfectly and I had no storage problems. Today, I factory resetted my phone. I rooted it and formatted. Y sd card. I partitioned the SD card. Now, my LINK2SD is not detecting the second partition. It says "Creation of mount scripts failed". I tried it as ext 2/3/4 and even all the others, but it still doesnt detect. I recreated the SD card partition many times, and the PC detects it as Ext2 perfectly but the phone doesnt. I thought it might be a problem with the SD card so I tried another one. Even this isn't working. Please help me.

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 am using a samsung A5. So heres what happened. My internal memory was running really low, so i decided to partition my sd card, to increase my internal memory. Heres an exact rundown of what i did.
1) Partitioned sd card using minitool wizard , creating an ext4 partition and a FAT32 thingy.
2)I entered my phone and checked my storage. The internal storage remained the same, as if nothing changed.
3)Installed Link2sd and selected ext4 on the popup that asked for my second partition
4)Link2sd asked me to reboot my phone after a mount script was created.
5)I checked my internal storage again and everything was still the same
6)I used the multi select feature in Link2Sd and linked everything to the sd card.
7)Rebooted my phone and all hell breaks loose. It said things like Android is upgrading, optimising app 1 of 1. Then it was stuck on starting apps. It later rebooted itself, and there were a TONS of popups with a black screen telling me almost all apps had stopped working. E.G whatsapp has stopped working. Google play has stop working. Removed SD card and rebooted. Now its stuck on Android is upgrading. Starting apps.

Hell everyone am not a tech but just an Android user with a broblem.l OK, I own an ainol numy 3g Chinese version. I came with 1gb ROM 4gb storage and I install a 16gb SD card. My problem is every thing I down load is going on a 1 GB internal memory storage. And the 4gig storage is there untouched and it doesn't give you option to choose where to store your data or downloads. However the sd card was being recognised but I could not download to it, again no option but at least one could see the sdcard is mounted. All of a sudden the sdcard was unmounted and the phone wouldn't see it still inserted.
So I decide to root the phone and install Root explore to check if I can detect the sauce of the problem. First thing was I try to write to edit bold.fstab and Rexp reported that the system is in mounted. Same thing for the 4gig storage and the sd card. So I downloaded adb tool. When I try to check for my system adb reported that the system is in available. Go back to root explorer it reported that my USB is in mounted. Can any one help me to solve my problem. Thanks in advance.

Hello all. Not sure if this question has ever been posed but I have a problem that deserves the attention of the pros here at XDA. I recently purchased a tablet with Android 5.1.1 lollipop with 16gig internal storage and 1gig of ram. After loading the device up with apps I started noticing that I was rapidly running out of room. I installed a 32gig sdcard formatted as fat32. After rooting the device and installing Link2sd I came to find out that this would only work with an ext partition. So I reformatted the card with two partitions, the first being in fat32 and the second in ext4. So far the device seems to be running pretty smoothly and was able to link all app files to the sdcard via link2sd. The problem here is when I check the storage in the system settings it shows all of the available space in the fat partition as expected. When I check the storage in link2sd, es file explorer, or any of the other file manager apps, it shows that there is only 502meg available on the sdcard. I was wondering if anyone here would be familiar with a problem like this and could advise me as to what I could do to fix this. Thanks
