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.

I am having Gionee s5.1 phone with 16GB storage (no SD Card support) running on 4.4.2 Android version. The phone storage divided into 2 sections:
6.25 - This is called Internal Storage. Android version is installed on this with pre installed applications.
9.75 - This is used for media storage and currently no file or images in this storage.
I have uninstall all the unnecessary applications (Pre-installed) from the phone and keep only Cleanmaster, Whatsapp, Facebook Messagner and imo. I have automatic update of apps is off as well as from google play store.
Now the problem is, when I bought this phone it has around 2.3 GB space available and a week back, with above configuration and application, it shows mes only 471 MB space left. I have gone through each and every application manually and removed the cache also used Cleanmaster for the same but no help.
Someone told me to do Factory Reset to resolve this and I do last week. At that time my internal storage back to 2.63 GB free of 6.25 GB allocated and I am happy. Again I configured my phone with above software and disabled the auto update of apps from google apps a week ago. Today, when I go to Settings -> Storage, it shows only 400 MB space left of 6.25 GB. I am not sure what to do and how to deal with this situation. I googled solutions to deal with it like root the phone (King root used) and use Link2SD or App2SD to move the apps but those app said SD partition not mount. I tried minipartition wizard to partition for 9.75GB as shown on the various blgs, but my phone shows message of Corrupted SD Card. No luck... :crying:
Can any one let me know how can I merge internal storage (6.25 GB) with phone storage (9.75 GB) to use the phone without any issue?
Or
How can I use the Phone Storage as Internal Storage and move applications to Phone storage?
Urgent help is greatly appreciated...

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.

Got a Tab10DUALC Sunstech tablet (RK3066 chip, 8 GB Flash NAND).
As I started to install some apps it quickly became out of space, checking storage settings I found out that internal storage was about 1gb full and Nand flash 5.26gb free.
So I started to search how to root it and after a lot of trials and errors I got to flash CWM and root it.
Now, I wanted to make a partition out of that 5gb non used space but when I tried that with CWM recovery (advanced, partition) despite having doing it correctly, when the tab restarted it all reseted back to the way it was, this is, no ext2 or whatever.
I've tried just about everything, Link2SD tells me there's no SD CARD 2nd Part. I went to recovery and mounted USB and tried partition it with Mini Tool Partition Wizard and while succeed, when restarting, the tab reported bad SD so made me reformat (Link2SD reported unmountable 2nd Part) so it all came back to the way before, no partition.
Could it be some safe measure or something that doesn't allow me to get this partitioned? I've tried just about everything and can't come up with any other ideas. I mean, I don't want to use my only mini SD card if I can help it, I just don't understand why I can't use that extra 5gb while running out of space on the internal memory.
I also tried moving a few apps to SD and got all kind of errors like not loading.

Hello Everyone!
I have been using the Samsung Galaxy S II (Intl) for over 3 years now. Hence I decided to move all my data on my phone to my PC and format the Internal and External SD Cards. The External SD Card went well, but while formatting the Internal SD Card, Windows could not complete the format, most probably because the phone got disconnected midway. (I was not present; I kept it for formatting and went away, when I came back the phone was switched off; the ROM must have crashed for some reason). Thus, my phone is now not able recognise my Internal Storage (even Titanium Backup cannot detect it). When I connect it to the PC, the error displayed is "No disk in drive. Please insert a disk in the drive".
My phone is working fine with all apps working fine, and app data intact (I have taken a Titanium Backup on the SD Card anyway). But there is no Internal SD Card for the apps to use.
What can be the possible solution to this problem?
Is it possible to format the entire Internal hard disk and repartition it? In that case, will I be able to enter download mode and install a ROM? In case I have to repartition it, what are the different partitions by default and what is their default size?
Please Help!!

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
