Link 2 SD help!

If anyone could please direct me to a link or give me very detailed steps on how to create a link 2 sd partition and how to make it work?
I've studied a lot about this and i simply don't understand and very much confused on how it works and what are the steps required!
Please be very detailed in guiding me so!
I'm using Arconium 8.2 with Doomkernel V22 and a Transcend MicroSD Class 4 32GB Memory Card!
I'll be most probably sticking with GB oly as am not interested in ICS!
Please tel me the disadvantages also if it has one!
Thanks for help!

Basically, save your SD on your computer because we're going to format it.
Then, reboot in recovery, you'll find an option to partition your SD ( sorry I can't remember the exact menu, just look around, can't miss it ). Select your file system ( I'd say EXT3 is a good bet ), select your size ( I have 1Gb ), select 0 as Swap ( you don't need it for that purpose ) and then just wait
When it's done, you can copy back all your data and you'll have your SD partitioned in 2, a big one probably in FAT32 and the one you just created in EXT3
After that, just download any program which will do what you need ( i.e. Link2SD ) and follow the instructions
I hope it's detailed enough, I'm a bit in a rush

1. Backup your SDcard and apps because everything on it might be erased
2. Reboot into CWM
3. Go to advanced
4. Partition SDcard ( choose anything , recommended 512 MB or higher )
5. Swap size any ( recommend 64 MB or higher )
6. Wait till it finishes , it will take a while .
7. reboot and open up Link2SD
8. It will ask you for SD second partition , choose ext3 . (if it didn't continue to the next steps of 9 )
9 a) **Do this only if step 8 wasn't prompted** Go to Link2sd's "more"
b) choose Recreate mount scripts
c) choose ext3
10. reboot the phone , it will take 2-5 mins , so don't remove the battery nor the SDcard .
11. after it boots , go to link2sd , then Storage info , you should see Sdcard 2nd partition mounted , this approves everything is alright
12. Here you have two choices to do , just do any of you want ( choice "a" is easier )
a) for ones with the terminal , type in "su" , then type in "a2sd cachesdreset"
b) for ones with adb , enable USB debugging then open a cmd , cd to the adb location , then type "adb shell" , then "su" , then "a2sd cachedreset" .
13 . Now the phone should reboot ( it would take 2-5 mins , don't touch battery or SDcard )
Additional : Now since you got a 2nd partition , you can link apps to this partition , by pressing any app or multiselect a group of apps and select the Create Link option (for multiselect , press Menu then Actions) , it might require you to quick reboot for every linked app but this will backup and free your internal memory and it is very useful for Large apps and games ! More over in link2sd setting there is an option to Autolink any newly installed app , so flick it !

Well please could you direct me to the Link2SD program thread? How to install it and what settings should be chosen on it?
Most imp qn: How to move apps into EXT partition?

Once you've partitioned your sd card, install the app from the market. The first run will ask what type of partition you have, select what you've used(ext2,3,or4)and reboot. select 'auto link' from options, and that's about it.

There's a nicely written article on how to use Link2SD on XperiaBlog.

Thanks a lot guys!

Yes I Rebooted many times, but it is not working, infact after partition, it was aceessing the card, but was not opening gallery, so I rebooted the phone, after rebooting, it is not teading card. Plz give suggestions, what to do now

Did you finalise the settings after partitioning?
Connect your phone in MSC mode. Open MiniTool Partition Wizard and see if it can detect your memory card.
Chances are that you didn't compete the instructions that were given.

yeah I checked it, it is not detecting memory card, as per my thought , I completed the instructions What else can be done ??

get a hold of memory card reader and let the computer recognize your sd card..i m sure it will..once recognized make one primary fat32 partition..then format it and start the process again

did you make a right partition?
i mean you set a fat32 , ext2, and etc. correctly?
i think you must check it again
sorry for my bad english.

Thanks mate, i checked it on memory card reader and ii can detect the whole card, now what to do, as your reply, again I should make partition , and if I would format it all data would be erased, although now I have taken backup of all the data , can after formatting, this data can be pasted on the the formatted card and get my phone's all applications back ?

now remove the partition wat u had made earlier...and follow the below instructions
1. Backup your SDcard and apps because everything on it might be erased
2. Reboot into CWM

Thanks so so much for replying so fast and describing every thing, please clear two things as I am new to all these, firstly how to remove that partition , I think with the mini tool partition wizard, but after removing that partition, my partition of 300 mb which I made would lost permanently or added ahain to my sd card? And secondly, what is reboot in cwm, i have heard so much about it but does not , can please explain?

dude..in mini tools first delete the partition and then extend your main partition..
reboot in cwm recovery means poweroff your phone then power on and keep an eye on the side led...as soon as it glows press vol down button..thats how u enter recovery

Thanks mate again, I would reply u again after reaching back to home at eve, by the way it is 100% sure that data would be lost in cwm recovery method or it might be saved ?

Have you tryd to connect with Sony pc compagnion in MSC modus?
After that, try again in MTC..
I had same problem after installing a fresh rom and this worked for me.

hi, reached home, going to do as you said, deleting partition, I was asking that I have to install cwm software from google market first to reboot in cwm recovery ?

You would need to download and install Xperia CWM Auto-Installer from the market. It's fine because you're already rooted.

dude u r amazing really, so helpful, thanks so so so much,as u said , deleted the partition and my phone detected the card u saved my memory card and all data otherwise I was just going to buy new memory card yesterday . K , now plz give some light about ce\wm recovery, altough you have explained me the method, but rather i have to firstly insatall it through google market and then it will rebot into cwm module ? also can u explain what is the role and function of rebooting in cwm recovery as I hace read so much about it, because it is used in many other applications llike applying new themes in phone etc.

When you first used the MiniTool Partition Wizard, were you following any guide? Or were you trying it out on your own? Because there's a well-written guide on XperiaBlog on setting up Link2SD with MiniTool.
You need to reboot into recovery because you can't access it like a regular app on your phone. (The Xperia CWM Auto-Installer has an option to reboot into recovery through the app though).
Recovery is quite an important part for any phone.
- You are able to take complete nandroid backups of your ROM and data and restore them if something goes wrong.
- You need it to install custom ROMs.
- You need it to flash zip files (eg: for themes or status bar modifications etc).
- It's got a lot of advanced options including doing a full wipe, partition your SD card to name a couple.

[Giude] Unlimited INTERNAL MEMORY, Spice, Karbonn, HTC, Samsung, Moto, Micromax, ALL

** get latest version from play store. attached versions r outdated & may/maynot work on yr device **
This is NOT a phone/brand specific guide
Motorola FIRE RAZR ATRIX DEFY DROID MileStone + XT PRO
Samsung Galaxy Duos Y Pocket Mini Ace
HTC Wildfire Explorer Desire One Sensation Salsa Chacha Evo Incredible Inspire Hero
Spice Mi 270 280 300 310 350 350n 410 425 500 720
Karbonn A7 A9
Micromax A52 A45 A50 A75 A73 A85 A70 A78 A60
Froyo or GingerBread GB
Most probably will work on HoneyComb, ICS & above since the app gets regularly updated. Check developer's description on Play Store.
When to do:
If fone runs out of internal memory or u know for sure tat it will
Requirements:
1. SD card
2. MiniTool Partition (free) software on windows PC - http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html
3. Link2SD
* higher the CLASS of SD, faster the performance
* link2SD is available for FREE on Play Store. Get the latest version. If u dont hav a STORE, find the compatible version yrself or try the attached APK
Preparation:
1. ROOT yr fone
2. settings - privacy - factory reset
3. switch OFF
* if u dont know whether yr fone is ROOTed or not, then its surely NOT-ROOTed
* if factory reset doesnt wipe yr fone, switch off & enter RECOVERY & clear dalvik, cache, etc
* in many fones recovery can be entered by simply POWERing ON while HOLDING Volume Up
Process:
1. take out SD
2. say, its a 16gb SD, use MINITOOL on PC & create 1st PRIMARY partition of 14gb as FAT32
3. 2nd PRIMARY partition of 2gb as EXT2
4. u'll get some warnings, ignore them
5. once u r done, leave the SD aside, DONT plug it in fone
6. start yr fone & DONT let play store auto update anything
7. Ummm... Have a smoke!
8. update superuser bianary, restart
9. plugin the modded SD
10. install LINK2SD from play store in INTERNAL MEMORY
11. run the app
12. on 1st run the app will ask whats the 2nd partition type. Choose EXT2
13. if the app doesnt say tat, repartition again, if still doesnt say, figure out wats wrong
14. dont proceed unless u get tat popup msg from link2sd. once u get tat msg, accept it & restart
15. run the app & configure android's inbuilt app2sd to install in INTERNAL MEMORY by default
16. now configure link2sd to auto link new installations to SD
17. restart & hav fun
*how to check: install ANYTHING on yr fone & after it says install complete, link2sd will popup in notification & say LINKING. let it do its work & say LINKED
*note : DONT ever format the modded SD thru fone, it'll delete the illegal partition
*can b used on ANY andoid device
*never hot-swap yr SD cause its part of system now. to take out SD, turn off fone
*if u follow the clean format method, DO NOT read beyond this! u'll never have to worry bout free space, just enjoy yr droid
==========================
effect is best noted if clean format method is followed but.....
those who dont wanna format, do all the settings as point 15&16, then for the stuff tat r already installed in INTERNAL mem, LINK them to SD, DO NOT MOVE them to SD. if u have stuff installed in SD previously, MOVE them to internal mem & LINK them to SD
*always LINK with LIBs & all the 3 options preferably
*DONT LINK link2SD & Play Store update
*u can LINK absolutely anything even if its system update & always LINK with libs & all the options it shows
*before LINKing system updates, FORCE CLOSE tat app
*those who DONT format, might get ForceClose after linking system updates. in tat case, uninstall the update & reinstall & let link2sd do its job auto
*even tho u LINK apps from internal mem, system wont show the space freed unless u REBOOT
*system will never count the extended mem, use the link2sd app to see system stat
==========================
Pls dont ask questions which r impossible/lame to answer. like:
1. will it work on my such & such device
2. will it work on my such & such 3rd party ROM
3. how much should i allot
4. can i use some other file system for 1st/2nd partition

said method of linking to SD yields much more free system mem than any other moving to SD technique! also it has added advantages over others which u'll realise once u start using it

I have stuck at 2nd step of process.. I downloaded the PARTITION MAGIC whole file of nearly 25MB but could not do further things.. frustrated.. gave up..
I could root my Chinese dual sim i9220 easily.. with help of SuperOneClick.. but doing this stuff found v difficult.. needless to say.. I am not good in tech things.. pls help.. thanks in advance..

1st plugin SD in pc & then fire up MINITOOL
app will show the sd card with 1 partition
hi-light the partition & hit DELETE
UN PARTITIONED space will b created
hi-lite UNPARTITIONED space & hit create... make partitions as described
now hit the BIG GREEN "APPLY" button
....the app only does its job when u hit APPLY... if u dont hit APPLY, no changes will be made to... this is a security feature

Fantastic..works like a charm on HTC EVO 4G LTE

thanks for the guide. i'm about to try it on my samsung xcover phone (android 2.3.6), which is already rooted. i take it that the factory reset will erase all the apps that didn't come with the phone, so what's the recommended way to backup the apps and restore them after link2SD? (Obviously I can just copy the contents of the old fat32 partition to the new fat32 partition, but I assume there's something more involved here).

if u prefer to save apps rather than clean format method, theres method laid out for tat too.... read the whole post
restoring the contents of existing fat32 after format will NOT bring anything back.... its just garbage

Thanks Sadhu for this! You are great man! You worked on this with developer or you are just an advanced user of this app? I will push the thanks button for this mate!!!

i tried partiioning my 16gb class 4 sd card both tru cwm partition option and mini partition tool on pc(the method u said here).but evrithing was fine upto partioning.but the partitioned ext2 is not mounting automatically.n i dnt know how to mount it manually.
any help????
galaxy Y is the mobile.

tested working on galaxy Y & Y-Duos
wat EXACTLY do u mean by 2nd partition is NOT MOUNTING ???? i've made a reply below but it might not b the reply to yr question cause i didnt understand it
--------
r u sure u have ROOT ??? most probably u dont... so check tat first... then proceed as below....
--------
take out & plugin SD on PC & with monitool, verify....
1st partition is PRIMARY & FAT32
2nd partition is ALSO PRIMARY & ext2
then run link2sd -> choose partition type ext2 -> goto SETTINGS -> ....
1. native app2sd -> INTERNAL
2. RELINK lib/dex + fastscrool -> CHECK
reboot & run link2sd.... if it doesnt ask partition type again, its all fine

i decided to do a clean upgrade and to reinstall apps. seems to be working fine; link2sd recognized the ext2 partition, shows the app linked to sd message when i install new apps and so forth. however, system memory still appears around 100 MB (as opposed to 2 GB, which is the size of my ext2 partition on the sd card). when i install something, for example, adobe flash player (5 MB), it take takes that out of system memory or shows that system memory has gone from 100 MB to 95 MB. however, the memory returns back to 100 MB after reboot (maybe cache refresh issue) once link2sd has loaded and been (automatically) granted superuser access. i then installed a bunch of new apk files and system memory went down to 85 MB (after reboot), so it seems that link2sd is not able to link quite everything, but hopefully it works well enough that i won't experience space problems again.
again, thank for the guide.

system does NOT count/recognise the 2nd partition.... it'll always show original space left... use the link2sd app to see diff STORAGE INFO... as mentioned in post
for system to refresh memory info, it needs a reboot... i've already mentioned tat
~~~~~~~~~~~
make sure tat in link2sd setting .... NATIVE APP2SD SETTINGS -> INTERNAL
still some apps might NOT get auto linked in SOME FONES... theres solution for tat too...
(no such issue in motorola. seen in spice/karbonn)
1. fire up link2sd -> hit the FILTER button & choose ON INTERNAL -> click on a app -> create link (choose all 3 check box)
2. fire up link2sd -> hit the FILTER button & choose ON SD CARD -> click on a app -> create link (choose all 3 check box)

morning! i wake late... after looking @ yr scr, tats wat i was gonna say tat seems u r using custom ROM... since u r choosing ext4, better make tat partition ext4 also.... ext4 formatting wastes less space & its noticeably faster with linking
like FAT, FAT32, NTFS for windows, in linux we have ext2, ext3, ext4 (android is a varient of linux).... u cant use ext2 as ext4 it might work but will mess up... so since yr rom is working with ext4, make tat partition ext4 & enjoy
great tat u took the time to figure out yrself now u r free from memory restriction forever

great tat u took the time to figure out yrself now u r free from memory restriction forever

improve internal storage gio

Hi , i have a big problem with my internal storage . I deleted alot of apps what came with gapps and moved all my installed apps on sdcard but for nothing ( i have 18mb free on internal storage . What can i do ?
L.E. I tryed this tutorial from here : http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/ and now i have 56mb free... It's possible to gain more ?

Yes you can use S2E from playstore , wich moves your apps to SD , be careful though i believe it doesn`t work on ICS or JB , not sure though. Also you can use Cronmod int2ext from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124. I personally used int2ext4+ and gained about 1 Gb of data on internal (apps are still installed on SD but that`s how it appears on manage apps) but you can try whatever suits you from there , just read the tutorial, it`s very easy. Good luck.

the simplest resolution of your problem.

the int2ext4+ script does the same as link2sd. in my opinion if you have a good sd card atleast class 6 use int2ext4 (without the +) because it moves all the data to sdcard, and the internal storage will stay free

I have a Class 10 , 8 Gb , yes it does it`s job , but lately i completely dismissed the whole internal memory expanding thing , whatever you use you end up having a slower phone overall after just a few apps , now i keep only the apps that i need and delete anything else not useful.

I flashed int2ext4 but nothing happend ...

link2sd and int2ext4+ they leave data in internal storage and after some time will get full.
int2ext4 trasfers all the data to the ext4 partition and the internal storage stays free

I flashed int2ext4 and i mounted system before flashing . After reboot ? Surprise all my apps force close :| . I need to reinstall my rom now :| .Why i have this problem ? I tryed to flash that script 2 times and 2 times screw up my rom .

[Q] Low on internal memory

Hi,
I'm having trouble installing a2sd and if i partition my sd card thrue recovery it dus not see the partioned part. so my internal storage keeps the same ( to small )
Mod version : CyanogenMod-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-bravo

I dont think cm has any a2sd script by default. You need to flash one such as m2sd or a2sd, or you could use the s2e app from the play store.

Download this and flash this script from recovery:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48303918/apps_dalvik2ext-UNSIGNED.zip
It moves data/app and dalvik cache to sd-ext.

Heres a quick way to make your phone good:
Ok now this is what i would advise: Install the Oxygenr2 hboot, full wipe, install milwild redux rom. This will give you 332mb for app data, and the apps (apks) and dalvik cache will be stored on your sdext partiton.
1. Download the oxygenr2 hboot here. Rename the file to PB99IMG.zip and then follow this guide to install it. When you go into your bootloader it should now say 'Alpharev Oxygen r2' at the top...this means that it was installed successfully.
2. Download Milwild Redux rom from here and put it on your sdcard.
3. Go into 4ext recovery > wipe | format > format all partitions (except sdcard) *This will wipe everything on your phone except your sdcard stuff like pics, music, video, etc.*
Go back to the 4ext main menu > install from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > browse to where you copied the rom, and click on it to install
4. Reboot. You should now have milwilds redux rom installed, and apps will automatically be moved to your sdcard partition. App data will remain on the internal so you will eventually run out of space, but it should take much longer than it used to.

No problem. The rom i linked you to is definitely just as stable & fast as official cm7, if not more.
That combination (milwild redux + oxygen r2 hboot + 1gb ext4 ext partition) is great for stability and lots of room for apps.

hmmmm i did al the installations but its still stuck on the loading screen of htc it wont start the milwild redux rom kinda strange... can you help me out ?

Ok, I followed the stepts for fortmatting my sd card and partitioning 1 gig of the 32 gig's i have in 4ext becaus this is the fastest option i heard/readed. But whene i try to boot my phone after ive done this i get the htc loading screen over and over again the only way i get to boot my phone normaly is whene i take the sd card out... and if i format the sd card and put it back in my phone it boots normaly. Anny hints on what the problem could be ? thanks for helping me this far !
