hi Hopefully i am in Right section - not sure what is meant by Not posting a Rom ??
I have a Garmin Nuviphone a50 with android 2.1 , have successfully rooted phone with z4root, I am pretty sure I have partitioned my SD card tried on a mac with EXT-fuse and tried on a windows using mini-partition (as instructions on this site about Partitioning) both ways seem to work -
However here's my problem when i start up Link2SD application it always says :-second Partition not found - /dev/block/mmcblk0p2: - make sure you have 2 partitions both primary .
I partitioned with Fat32 and Ext2 (also tried with Ext3, Ext4 and few others) but always says same with link2sd.
Does anyone know how I can get my apps to SD card or what my problem is or have any suggestions . As i get that message space full so need to move some to SD card (phone supposed to come with 4gb internal memory, i have 16gb SD card also) why is it still full
Need help with Link2sd/app2sd and or partitioning

Hello everyone,
This is my first post here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 5830i and today I bought a new SD card because the old one was crap. I had this problem before, I have it now. When I try to download an application from the Android Market, there is always this error ''There is unsufficient storage available''. I checked and I had 23 free MB of Device memory and 1.8 GB free on my SD card. I read a lot of articles about this problem and tried many ''solutions'' and nothing fixed it. I will be really, really thankful if anyone can help me fix this. Cheers!
Try MarketFix by Felipe Aaon
You could also use Link2sd to make room on your internal storage.
the error you are facing is because once your internal storage is filled by approx. 85-90%, it shows the error - Insufficient Storage available
Try moving your apps to sd-card from settings/apps. if you moved them already, have you rooted your phone? If yes, then you can partition your sd-card to make space on internal storage. this can be done either Minitool Partition software for PC or through your CWM or TWRP recovery(needs root and custom recovery flashed)
what it does is, it takes a part of your sd card and converts it for internal storage.
If you have problem with the Playstore, you can root and install a newer version of the playstore. try this though i may not be sure about this
Google for the method as i cannot posts links currently
Cheers
Hi ,
I really need a help !! I bought the new Micromax Unite 2 A106 and some how with the help of XDA forum i successfully rooted (installed supersu from recovery - i flashed recovery with scatter some method found from the forum). Now i have few questions which really i am dying to know., please help me
I am using 8 GB SD card (Class 4)., partitioned as 1st partion FAT32 ~4GB and 2nd partion as EXT4 ~4GB
Questions:
1. From settings -> storage, my mobile is showing.
1.1 Internal Memory ( Total: 1.89 GB out which i almost used every thing)
1.2 External SD card (Total: ~4 GB)
1.3 Internal SD card (Total 1.97 GB out of which nothing is used)
My EXT4 memory is not show., But in Link2SD Storage-info it is show (also mounted some were on /data/sdxta2)
With out help of Link2SD, Before installing apps... In settings -> storage i selected "Internal SD" as default installation location. Tried to install many apps nothing goes into Internal SD memory (Total 1.97 still seems to be free) which is accessible from file explorer.
With help of Link2SD, created a mount script in EXT4 partion... After reboot Link2SD didn't give any error for mount script., In Link2SD created "link" for apps and it asks for a reboot.. after reboot., the app is not show in android., but i can see they have been linked /data/sdxta2.
I don't understand why linking apps disapper and why can't i use that Internal SD memory of ~ 1.97 GB for apps installation.
Thanks a ton guys !!! your help will save my Unite 2 & Me

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."
Edit 20 sep 2014 14:28 paris time:
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!

this is what you need

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:

im glad that you figured it out
and thanks bro
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
