[Q] Link2SD not re-mounting the partition after flashing new ROM

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
I am using TouchWiz JB V2 Rom
I have tried ti install int2Ext+ (CronMod Fixed version fro 4.2.2) Still no luck
Also installed Link2Sd but it gave
Unable to create mout script error
I partiotned my sdcard using recovery (CWM 5.0.2.6) (it created Ext3)
Then (Delected the sdext partition using "Mini Partition Tool Wizard" then created new partition for Ext4)
But still no luck Nothing seems to work

Hi
І have also had the problem.
I removed the system software of Google voice search, voice dialing, search . (Titanium Backup / un-install all user & system apps)
format ext2 or ext4.
Run Link2sd
Apparently there was no room in the system or chmod / chown

Can you tell which version of kernel you are using?
If you are on 3.x.x version, sorry to tell you that these scripts are not working till today.

I tried formatting ext2 and ext4, no result was not, error mount script.I knew it or not enough memory or wrong permissions set.
I mentioned that Titanium Backup can delete system apk you need to unmount the partition.

The standard and not-really-necessary idea of doing a factory-reset wipe when flashing is the problem here. I also had that zong my sdext making it read-only and nothing, nothing except re-partitioning the sdcard helped.

not working !
hi ! I have a problem , I've tried to partition sd card with cwm, minitool partition , tried ext 2,ext 3 , ext 4 , flash again ROM , install first link2sd , recreate mount scripts every time i change the method but no matter what i do , it keep telling me that the 2nd partition is not mounted and wont let me recreate mount script . ( Mount script cannot be created ) . If anyone can help me , i'll very much appreciate . Thanks !

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.

[Q] Can't move apps with Link2SD

I have tried to move apps to sdcard with Link2SD and other similar apps. It fails and says that I can't move them because my device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage.

Here is a screenshot of the message

Howdy!
as far as I have found out (and been following this problem on and off since I got my plus a few months ago) there is no proper way to move apps to your SD card. Best solution (and the one I am using) is to partition your SD Card then use Link2SD to link apps on your SD. You can set it up to do so automatically for every new app you install. As for partitioning I found this guide the best since I'd never attempted it before but it works really well.

Well, my phone was rooted anyway but I think Link2SD needs it. As to why exactly it needs to be partitioned I can only tell you that when my card wasn't partitioned as suggested in the guide I linked then Link2SD wouldn't even offer to link the apps. I am no expert as I pointed out but this was a solution that worked for me. It may well be someone else found something better that doesn't require partitioning. To my knowledge doing things this way requires root AND the partitioned SD card.

Did you try Apps to SD? Ill be rooting very soon and see what happens. If none works then last stop would be to make partition.
Okay I did root my phone successfully. Still cant move apps. Now going to do this partition system. Hope it works !

Yeah, I tried Apps to SD as well but without success. You get exactly the message as the OP said here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42863865&postcount=2
Same goes for Link2SD however once you partitioned it at least offers you to link the apps. But like I said that only happened after I did the partitioning. Beforehand it would not even offer that.
I am not entirely sure what or why Samsung did what they did in kinda blocking the moving of apps to an external card but it it really blows considering that you only get a somewhat limited amount of storage to begin with.

Hello again brother. Same here. Before partitioning there was not any option to create link even.
I did the partitioning stuff did work. I can successfully transfer my apps into the ext2 partition i created. (Btw which partition format did you go with?)
How ever I believe folder mount is still a better option as it does not require you to create partitions and works directly such as you enter a brand new card without partition and move apps into card and then it links it. But the only drawback is you need to purchase the app :

I used ext4 for my partition. And I hadn't heard of Folder Mount until you mentioned it. Will have to check it out. Can you actually move stuff if you use that?

Well ext4 didn't work for me idky though ext2 did and it worked. But creating partitions is pure junk and it would reduce the life and speed of your card (its something i believe) so I deleted the partitions and brought my card into original format.
And yes man Folder Mount is something we need ! It does exactly what both of us want. Simply move all the app data from internal memory to external memory and as soon as you move you have empty space on your internal storage and external storage is occupied. Its simple and very clear and easy to use. Just 3 clicks i believe and its done. And another good stuff is it will show you how much an app is occupying internal space and then moves it into SD card and also doesn't show important system apps to move as moving them creates problem.
There's a free version to try which would allow you to move 3 apps only and if you want more then buy the app for 2 Dollars.
Its developed by @madmack. Do check it out. The sad part for me is I dont have a credit card nor Paypal is available in my country
And i need this app badly !

Apps2SD All in one tool[2.3+]: Partition SD card and Move/Link Apps to SD card [ROOT]

Hi all,
This is my first post in XDA but I've been a regular reader as a guest. I've developed an app(Apps2SD) to move/link apps from internal storage to external SD card with lots of other cool features.
Apps2SD has evolved from being an app which moves app data to sd card to an all in one app with many cool features.

Tutorials @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4q5HAHJblI&index=1&list=PLiRFJHKSKUX_q0hsN0oHn4iXGoloJku5s
Prerequisites:
Device needs to be rooted
Root permission should be granted to Apps2SD
2 partitions on external SD card (use Apps2SD partition tool to create 2nd partition). 1st partition should be FAT/exFat partition, this is your standard SD card storage. The second partition is used as the internal storage for linked application files and can be ext2, ext3, ext4 or f2fs.

HI Vicky,
let me first congratulate you on making such a useful app which has so many features .Does this app has any device limitations .
thanks , Rahul

Thank you Rahul,
There is no device restriction apart from Android version. The app is supported on android 2.3+.

The app won't partition my 32gb card on a Galaxy Tab 4. It keeps instructing me to reboot. Once I do, the app auto-starts, attempts to partition, then fails. Again, it instructs me to reboot. I never make it past this point. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks for the app and your time.

Please let me know your device name and android version. Ideally Link2SD and Apps2SD should not be used together. Any app linked by Link2SD will be detected by Apps2SD. If you still want to use them together make sure to deselect auto linking in Link2SD or Apps2SD settings.
As for the post reboot issue. Can you recreate the mount script from Apps2SD, reboot and try again. If the problem still persist send me the content of /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file.

running moto e 5.1.1
using only apps2sd solved the issue. and mount scripts were done from apps2sd itself

Can you send me the Android version. Also are you able to Link/Move apps manually? Also do you mean after selecting all the options in auto link option, newly installed apps are not being moved to SD card?
Please note that Auto link Settings is for newly installed applications. To link existing apps select the app and link individually or use Multi select to link in batch.

There's an xposed module to give access to the external sd. Also on the forum are instructions on how to modify your platform.xml to do the same thing. Did you search?

Not really, because it work it with application sdcard fix

After each reboot the system go to read only. Because of that I can use the SD card...

If your sdcard is being mounted read only it's failed stability checks...you should copy your data off and reformat it (preferably on a pc and tell it to do a full format...try using fat32 instead of exfat also)....you may have some bad areas on it.
The idol 3 can be very picky about sd cards...I ended up having to go out and buy a samsung because it hated my sandisk one which has been rock steady in all other devices...the sandisk would randomly not mount at all and have to be reformatted.

Link2sd mount script error fix.

Hi everyone. This is my first thread and i aint any dev. Link2sd is the peoperty of its owner and i am here with just a small fix which is faced by many.
This is a fix to the MOUNT SCRIPT ERROR that is faced by many Link2sd users.
The error is faced while creating mount script, a message pops up [SIZE="5]""mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:2 on /data/sdext2 failed: device or resource busy"" [/SIZE][/B] or [B][SIZE="5"]""mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:2 on /data/sdext2 failed: nos uch directory found""[/SIZE]
If you too are facing this problem then here is the fix. The fix wont brick your phone or damage it and result is guranteed. Please follow the below steps.
Before Proceeding further Keep in mind the requirements:-
1. Rooted device
2. Partitioned memory card (First partition to be used for media is to be in Fat32 format and 2nd partition to be used as secondary internal storage is to be in ext4 format (or ext2,ext3 but i prefer ext4) (Refer to any tutorials of partitioning a memory card available on the internet. I prefer to use Minitool partition wizard in a pc.
STEPS
1. Install Link2sd (From market)
2. Install App2sd (from market)
3.Convert Link2sd into System app.
This can be done by installing any app from the market which converts user app into system app. Or follow this steps A) Go to /data/app/com.bauk.Link2SD-1 B)Copy base.apk C) Go to /system/app D)paste the apk E) Rename it to com.bauk.Link2sd-1.apk (Do not create any folder) (You will need a file explorer with root access such as root explorer or es explorer)
4.Restart your phone.
5.Now open App2sd
6. Select Link application (or something like that option)
7. It will ask for mounting scripts. A pop up will occur with options to select.
8. Select the format of the 2nd partition (Ext2,Ext3 or Ext4 preferably) and method is to be selected "Normal" (If available)
9. Click on apply.
10. Restart your phone
11. Open link2sd and click the 3 dots in the top right corner and click on Storage info. If Sd card 2nd partition shows the size then you are good to go.
12. Uninstall app2sd.
13. Done
14. Enjoy
Note:- Name of apps mentioned above such as Link2sd, App2sd, Minitool partition wizard, Root explorer, Es file manager are not my creation and are property of their respective owner.
Thank you

Hi, there are several Apps2SD apps on PlayStore....... Which one is the one to use ?
Thx
UPDATE : Well, the answer to my "Link2SD issue" is : Apps2SD Pro ( note the "s" after App, there are many App2SD apps out there....... so it's " Apps2SD Pro"
With this app I could partition and format my sdcard, create the mount script and move most system and user apps to the sdcard. However, the developer does not recommend moving any "Google apps" to the sdcard ( I moved Google Drive before I read this and it works fine. Just be careful ! Also, the Pro version does not have ad's and has many, many additional features and this app is updated frequently.
Now I am happy !

tried everithing with this A2107A-H and nothing works my mount path is /dev/block/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmcblk1p2

if i do the same thing what u say everything is ok with partition but it still not shows the storage on storage info and if i try to move to sd card it gives me a java error i restored 3 times my phone and trying 2 days to get it work but it not works im using galaxy s8 plus with nougat and my memory card is exfat im converting it to fat32 and creating an ext2 partition but IT NOT WORKS
NO ONE HAVES A GOOD METHOD FOR THIS PLS SOME ONE SAY ME HOW TO USE THIS APP!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Thank you very much....!!!
I just tried it and for the moment it works ... we will see how it evolves with the passing of days .... and several "intentional" reboots (verify that the script is not lost).
Again thank you very much, I looked for lost the link2sd on android 7.
Greetings.
This is a Google translation.

Mount Script Cannot be Created
I can't find com.bauk.Link2SD-1 anywhere with ES Explorer nor with the file manager. Tried after installing Link2SD several times still no result.

Hi everyone. This is my first thread and i aint any dev. Link2sd is the peoperty of its owner and i am here with just a small fix which is faced by many.
This is a fix to the MOUNT SCRIPT ERROR that is faced by many Link2sd users.
The error is faced while creating mount script, a message pops up [SIZE="5]""mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:2 on /data/sdext2 failed: device or resource busy"" [/SIZE][/B] or [B][SIZE="5"]""mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:2 on /data/sdext2 failed: nos uch directory found""[/SIZE]
If you too are facing this problem then here is the fix. The fix wont brick your phone or damage it and result is guranteed. Please follow the below steps.
Before Proceeding further Keep in mind the requirements:-
1. Rooted device
2. Partitioned memory card (First partition to be used for media is to be in Fat32 format and 2nd partition to be used as secondary internal storage is to be in ext4 format (or ext2,ext3 but i prefer ext4) (Refer to any tutorials of partitioning a memory card available on the internet. I prefer to use Minitool partition wizard in a pc.
STEPS
1. Install Link2sd (From market)
2. Install App2sd (from market)
3.Convert Link2sd into System app.
This can be done by installing any app from the market which converts user app into system app. Or follow this steps A) Go to /data/app/com.bauk.Link2SD-1 B)Copy base.apk C) Go to /system/app D)paste the apk E) Rename it to com.bauk.Link2sd-1.apk (Do not create any folder) (You will need a file explorer with root access such as root explorer or es explorer)
4.Restart your phone.
5.Now open App2sd
6. Select Link application (or something like that option)
7. It will ask for mounting scripts. A pop up will occur with options to select.
8. Select the format of the 2nd partition (Ext2,Ext3 or Ext4 preferably) and method is to be selected "Normal" (If available)
9. Click on apply.
10. Restart your phone
11. Open link2sd and click the 3 dots in the top right corner and click on Storage info. If Sd card 2nd partition shows the size then you are good to go.
12. Uninstall app2sd.
13. Done
14. Enjoy
Note:- Name of apps mentioned above such as Link2sd, App2sd, Minitool partition wizard, Root explorer, Es file manager are not my creation and are property of their respective owner.

Same for me, no new ideas?
Kind of frustrating running out of internal storage.

I used Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 with Resurrection Remix Nougat v5.8.3 with Magisk v12.0 and Dual Boot Patcher.
I had the same problem with Link2SD, got the same error.
The Link2SD developer suggested me to upgrade to Magisk v16.0. I also upgraded to Resurrection Remix Nougat v5.8.5.
This solved the problem with Link2SD at least in my case.

I used to have SM-N9005 but I lost it so for something different , got a moto g4 plus.
I have Magisk v16.0 and lastest RR Nougat.
I was able to get Link2sd to recognize the partition but best I can get is the link to sd function, will not move any apps to sd.
Was wondering if that is just the same as integrating the Ext4 partition as internal?.
Do I need bother with Link2SD if it will not move the apps?.
