[Q] Enable Link2SD or A2SD?

Anyone know how to enable and install Link2SD or DT's A2SD on a stock rom? I know Darkshado's method, when you need to flash simpligio without the modem. But is there a way without flashing another rom? I'm also aware of enabling of enabling A2SD for the Galaxy Ace but if I try this on my Gio, will it be safe??? Please help. Thanks for your time!

Hi,
I'm using stock froyo 2.2.1 (S5660DXKC3), rooted and using link2sd.
It very easy to install the link2sd. i suggest using class 10 microsd. Here is the step:
1. Using a PC/laptop, create 2 partition in microsd, 1st is fat32, 2nd is ext2. Set both are primary partition. i use the partition wizard home edition (is free)
2. Set the 2nd partition size not more than 1 Gb, i heard that it will cause an error if more than 1 Gb. Mine are set to 0.8 Gb.
3. Root your phone, i'm using super one click
4. Install link2sd from market
5. Insert your microsd to your phone
6. Start link2sd, it will ask for the 2nd partition. pick the ext2
7. Reboot/restart your phone

If you want to use A2sd on stock rom, use must use modified boot.img. A2sd can't work on standard boot.img (CMIIW)

And use custom kernel

To enable link2SD or a2SD on 2.2 it is very easy.but on gingerbread,you need to flash a custom kernel（such as phiexz's kernel）,because of the kernel doesn't support init.d script.

Use a SD card reader!! Not from your phone!! Also you need custom kernel.
Ok first partition your SD card. Use the program call MiniTool Partition Wizard. This is on your PC. There are guides all over the web for this but I'll sum it up for youse. Make a SD-EXT with the options > Primary > Ext4 > 4Kb Cluster size
Download Darktremor's A2SD and put in the root of your SDcard. Once done plug SD back to phone. Make sure phone is off. Enter recovery and find the a2sd zip and flash. Reboot the phone and it will bootloop for maybe 2 times. Then it should have installed a2sd correctly!!
Hope this helps

merci! I DO indeed have a custom kernel (ArpegGioMod ftw) but I bit the bullet and installed Link2SD, and it seems to be performing okay.. slightly sluggish fps with Mupen64, but nothing a little OC can't fix. lol

Just for your information, you don't need to have a custom kernel for Link2SD.
I'm using it with 2 primary fat partitions on (rooted) stock 2.3.4.
And It's working like a charm.

Has anyone noticed that on a reboot link2sd starts to relink apps and sometimes some apps are removed from the phone. I have always experienced this and I have reinstalled link2sd many times, but the problem still persists.

i dunno about that..
but i'm using EnergyRom with ChopSuey kernel..
so not every kernel can supports ext4?
which kernels should I use for my supersonic to supports ext4?

I know the Mason kernel supports ext. 4. Read the OP for the ROM you're using and make sure ext. 4 is supported.

If its a sense rom only underworld kernel and classic kernel support ext 4 and if its aosp rom mostly every kernel supports it.

Scratch what I said above. I forgot Energy is a Sense ROM, so you'll need a Sense ROM that supports ext. 4, assuming it's supported by the ROM.

1. Maybe your card doesn't support ext3 or
2. Format the whole card after you back up everything on it. Then do the partion and then move everything back to the SD card
3. Update ext1 to ext2
4. Wipe using superwipe or whatever method you use, flash the rom, same session flash your kernal underworld number 8 for your sense rom, then same session flash your apps2sd script I use cronmod INT2EXT4+ it moves your partion to your internal memory and I have 900mb on my internal memory 300 apps installed and 400mb of internal memory left and because its internal my phone is fast as hell with no lag.. then reboot and take a look around to see if the script stuck.. if so then get rid of armon installer use smelkous recovery you can go back into it and update your partion without having to format your SD card again.. so then you would update to ext3 but you may have to uninstall your app2sd script and then reflash it once you get your ext4 up and running.. I will link cronmod so you can read the op he also has a app2sd script as well

Just look for smelkous 4.2 I believe it is, I think its pretty str8 forward as far as ext upgrades if its capable of being upgraded to ext3 or ext4, but not all SD cards can be updraded to ext 3 or 4

[Q] Installing mods to stock rom - problem

Hello
After using some of custom rom's, i returned to stock rom because of battery life. And now i have problem with flashing mods in recovery (like extended power menu). I have about 40MB free space on phone, my apps are linked2sd, my rom is deodexed with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600805 .
When I'm flashing something in recovery, after system startup i see a message about low internal memory level. Some app's are missing (like google play). Link2sd is going crazy, sometimes he said that he doesn't have root access, other time he tells me that he need debugging USB on, I'm turning it on but he tells mi it again and i can see that debugging is off. When I finaly launch link2sd and I'm moving first app to link2sd, he shows me a progress bar and I'm waiting for weeks and nothing is happening.

use ext3 man.even stock kernel support it.i am using same int2ext+ with ext3 on my deodexed stock rom.
and dont worry about that 100 MB..wildfire s have around 512 MB total internal space include whole system.so you can partition your sdcard upto 2 GB. bt keep it 500 MB or 1 GB.it will works fine.
that script put ur system apps on sd-ext and dont wry nothing will slow down..same as link2sd.bt it works very good.
but do clean install like flashed that script after installing rom.i am not sure about it ll work on installed rom or not so.

man link2sd needs also ext3/ext4paritions to work.
fat32 is only for audio video and other data.for sd-ext scripts,link2sd needs partition like ext3/ext4
link2sd wont work with fat32.
and dont worry about ext4.it only work with some device and some roms major cm9/cm10.

for link2sd or any other scripts you need to partition your sd card:
1) FAT32 REMAINING
2) EXT3/EXT4 ( 1 GB)
3) LINUX SWAP (512 MB)

yeah.sd-ext meaning ext2/ext3/ext4 partition.
so how link2sd works without this partitions?
when you installed link2sd and open app.it will show you to mount partition like ext2/ext3/ext4.so which is your partition you should click on that,then restart your phone and then link2sd ll work.
same with other scripts..no scripts works with fat32.

2GB

2 GB isnt sufficient.
But you can partition it to,
1 GB Fat32
500 MB ext3
500 MB linux swap
All partitions are primary.
Then try link2sd.

Int2ext ect,, do any work properly?

hi all,
the main reason for me unlocking my arc s was to mount an ext4 partition so there was no more agro with running out of internal ram.
ive tried various roms with various kernals and various scripts, the closest i got to one working was latest vengeance + latest viper + int2ext4+
but it kept lagging on video and internet..
i really liked viper but hdmi missing so waiting or 6.5....
ive just put lupusv16 + UHD4 + UHD mod and it is very impressive, the screen is better almost as stock with bravia2, hdmi very good and camera also very good, the question is which script definatly works properly with this setup? i dont want to move swap to int, just link ext4 on sd to int ram ??

didnt work, hangs on boot...

Did you formated it correctly?
I mean, both partitions, fat32 and ext must be primary and some users told me that i have to do them with a sd reader...
I use Link2sd in GB and it works fine (ext4, 2GB minus the journal)

Hi,
i plugged my 8gb sd card into my laptop and wiped it, then created a 6gb fat 32 partition, a 1.7gb ext4 partition & the remainder about 300mb as swap. then mounted fat copied hd4 rom, hd4 mod and int2ext to it. then into phone, booted to recovery, installed rom as per thread, rebooted phone, left it 20 mins, booted to recovery, flashed hd4 mod, rebooted phone, left for 20 mins, booted to recovery, installed int2ext script. rebooted phone, then it hangs on boot..
from what ive seen the int2ext scripts are difficult to get working correctly with no lag, fc's ect.

First of you are on ICS 4.0.4/stock fw 0587 aren't you.
Cos lupus kernel ver16 is for ICS.
Like what angel said both has got to be primary.
Your 6gb/primary/Fat32
Your 1.6gb/primary/Ext4
You should delete link2sd,or any other CronMod extension versions from your sdcard before you flash the CronMod INTEXT2.
After done flashing go to mount n storage and format sd-ext.Reboot.
If everything goes well look in titanium backup or setting/storage.It will show the internal memory you just acquired.
If you get bootloop after that then wipe cache and delvic cache and reflash it again following the above procedure again.
But I don't think you'll come to that.If all requirements are met than its a piece of cake.
Try it again.And one more thing,it doesn't lag if not it only faster from my experience using it.
Tell us of the outcome.By the way clicking the thanks button would be sufficient enough to anyone who assist you in the future here on xda.

thanks dude,
its working, i formatted it with recovery and it worked?, i then checked the partition on my laptop and it wasnt bootable but it still works?
i then deleted the ext4 partition on my laptop and repartitioned it and didnt make it bootable and the phone booted straight up working.
i did use int2ext+ this time and not int2ext
dont know why it didnt work before unless something had put a file on the partition?
anyway

Had you tried use an app for linking the ext rather than just install a script? I know that it's basically the same but still...
By the way, this is what i do, and its working:
0- Make a nandroid backup
1- Install Mini partition tool wizard
2- Clear the sd - Clic on apply
3- Create a new fat32 partition (13355 MB, 13GB) Default cluster and set as primary - apply
4- In the unnalocated space make the ext 4 partition (2GB - Journal) set as primary - apply
5- Copy the backup into the sd
6- format everything like when you install a new rom
7- restore
8- Download link2sd and select the ext partition
9- Reset
10- Move apps to it :/
My sd card is class 10 but honestly i dont feel so much difference with a class 4 :/

Thanks for taking the time to reply
i re installed rom & mod again, tested game and it was fine, so its def the script, i used int2ext this time instead and it was slightly better as it leaves data on internal for speed so im going to leave it untill i get a class 10 card then try int2ext again.

[Q] SD EXT partition.. Link2SD or App2Ext.. problems with mounting.

I rooted my desire 816 [still running the stock rom] and I wanted to try link2sd so I partitioned my SD card and created an ext4 primary partition.. opened link2sd app,installed mount scripts and restarted the phone but the ext partition is still unmounted.. tried ext2 but ended up with the same result!
searched a lot but found so many confusing topics that got me more confused!
what should I do to get the ext partition to be mounted on boot?!
also is app2ext better than link2sd? if so, then how to install it too?
thank you guys in advance..

also is app2ext better than link2sd? if so, then how to install it too?

The video maker Potent Technologies has a .zip file available from kinghunki that automatically adds the wp_mod.ko file and the permissions on boot with one flashable zip via custom recovery.

Thanks! but I think the zip file is for enabling SD card write permissions only..
my problem is that the EXT partition I created doesn't mount on boot and I don't know how to enable that since I'm on stock rom not a custom one..

I am having the same problem. I even flashed that zip but It didn't help.
I had read somewhere that the Exp partition size should be 20% of the microSD card size at most. is it relevant here?
I've also made a Linux swap. the order of my partitions is :
1. fat 32 :15 GB primary, Active
2. Ext4 :now 5 GB primary (It would fail mount with Ext3)
3. Linux Swap : 1.5 GB

that zip is for re-enabling writing permissions on SD card which is disabled in KitKat by default.

you don't need that much for the ext partition.. it should be no more than 20% of the SD card size.
I guess you made the ext this size because of games, right? you should use foldermount instead.. It's AWESOME!!

I have a stock rom and I don't intend to flash any custom rom but a stable lollipop rom.

I have no problems with partitioning my SD card at all, my problem is how to add "Init.d" support in my stock rom to be able to mount my ext partition at boot.

I guess this is gonna fix it for us

Meaning after he restarts the device the SD doesn't need to be remounted with a command in order for link2sd to work.

KitKat and Lollipop require different fixes.
For 5.0.2 go here...
