I had a problem on the cm7.2 before and I was fedup and switched to the cm9.
Now again I installed the cm7.2 and again the problem seems to be arrising.
I used the s2e on cm7.2 it worked fine. But I was installing the apps from the market and when the message comes "installing" the mobile restarts. Sometimes one or more boot loops occurs.
When the cell swtiched on so i searched in the app drawer the s2e was missing. It disappeared.
This same problem also occurs with the dtapps2sd. After few days or hours, when i install any application either from market or sd card the mobile restarts.
The only soultion to this problem is just factory reset.
I have been using the cm9 with the s2e enabled I was having no problem like this.
I have tried many things like repartioning etc. etc.
I had been experiencing this problem a month ago, and i was not able to find the reason, so today i installed the s2e on the cm7.2 and just figured out that this problem occurs due to the reason that s2e or the dtapp2sd disappears automatically.
Any solution and reason for this, will be appreciated.
Just waiting...
I had the same issue on CM7.2. It turned out that the problem was that my sd-ext partition is not formatted as ext4 but ext2 instead. Make sure that you partition is formatted as ext4. If it's not, then re-format it but do NOT use the recovery but do it on your PC using a card reader as the recovery messes things for some reason and formats partition as ext3 on my case. Also make sure that you do NOT use the 'Set read buffer' option in S2e as this tends to corrupt the partition. Phiexz had mentioned this in his thread, I think. This helped me solve my problem, hope that it will do the same for you as well.
Once you fix the issue, I would not recommend you to move the application data (/data/data) to sd-ext as this causes poor performance. Just an advice

1st thanks for the reply.
My partition is ext4.
While the factory reset the recovery formats the partition, i hope so it doesn't change its type from ext4 to any other.
I am not moving the application data
I am not changing or messing with the buffer option
I don't know what to do, I don't want to switch again to cm9 because it is still in development stages, alot of functions are not working while some have bugs.
As I said, format the partition on a PC instead. The recovery does not format it properly for some reason. The reason that S2e and A2sd disappear are moved to an incorrectly mounted partition as it is either not ext4 or it's corrupted. I thought mine was ext4 until i looked at it on my Pc using a partitioning software.

Oh thanks Now I checked in the pc it has been changed to ext3.
It is just horrible, how come it changed. I didn't created a partition using the recovery.
I just did factory reset. And during factory reset the recovery automatically formats the ext partition and changes it to ext3...
It is a big bug of the recovery , And it has to be solved because we can't do factory reset as it will change the ext type
I am using the recovery 5.7.2 version
BTW should i check the read buffer in the s2e?
Yeah, that's what I meant. I had the same issue and i was surprised just like you how the ext4 partition had been converted to ext3. I would recommend using px recovery 0.3.6 instead of this old cwm. I cannot tell you whether this problem occurs with it because i flashed it after i managed to fix my problem. Do not set the read buffer in s2e as a lot of people, including me, report that this tends to corrupt your partition too which leads to the same problem that you're currently experiencing (CM not able to mount sd-ext). Did that fix your problem?

Hello Guys, i need help.
I followed this guide to create a Link2sd system.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/
Link2SD Partition is FAT32 primary, other one is also FAT32.
My problem is, after moving my apps i have a lot of free space in internal memory. After the reboot, which takes some time, some apps are missing, and i have no free space anymore in my internal memory. What am i doing wrong? I´ve wiped dalvik cache through CWM, but that didn´t help. However, I can restore old system through CWM Backup, but i want a system with working Link2sd.
Using .69 rom.
Any tips?

Okay, when it seems to be this problem then i´m using ext format. But ext4 can only be used with some kernels, doomlords one right?But i thought it´s some kind of dalvik cache problem. I read that some people on a german forum pointing of that. But anyways, i´ll try ext3, want to see if it works better.
Now i know what the issue was: You can link max.10 apps at once, than you need to restart phone. Guess that was the problem. I linked too much apps at once and dalvik cache had a problem with it. But thx anyways for responding.

Low memory at boot
I have an odd problem ,,, Upon boot my phone has very low internal memory and I get an error.
About 1 to 2 minutes after boot, all of a sudden I get a large chunk of it back ... is something corrupt in my LINK2SD setup ?
The internal memory is so low at boot sometimes that it starts to F/C apps and sometimes doesn't even load the SIM card ...
Lib, dex files ?
... it seems to be the linking of LIB & DEX files upon boot, if I turn the option off within LINK2SD the memory stays low, if I switch it on and reboot then after about 100 seconds the memory comes back ...
Does this mean I will always 'owe' back the internal memory from LINK2SD ?
I thought LINK2SD symlinked to the files, which to my understanding was just a small shortcut places on the internal pointing back to the EXT partition
When the memory drops low at boot, it makes things FC error
When I link the lib and apk files, Link2SD works grandly. Maybe it's the dex files that's causing issues? Or maybe you chose the wrong file system when you first ran Link2SD?
Hi.
Ever since ive rooted my desire ive been using clockworkmod recovery and I'm kind of getting bored of it. Don't get me wrong, its stable and Its never given me any problems, but i change want some change lol.
Does anyone have any recommendations for recoveries? I'm thinking of switching to either cwm touch, 4ext, or twrp.
Also when I switch, do I need to somehow delete my current recovery, or is it OK to just flash it through fastboot without deleting the old one?
Thanks

4ext recovery is highly regarded around here, it's good for partitioning sd card properly among other things. see my sig, you can install it through the 4ext app.
to change recoveries you need s-off. when you change, it automatically overwrite the previous one. i think it's only possible to have only one recovery at a time (you only need one working one!)
4ext all the way. Best for Desire.

4Ext
I've recently switched from Clockworkmod to 4Ext and have found it quite good.
4Ext has tons of options and can be themed, the only problem I've had with it is the occasional issue where when you boot into recovery it comes up as read-only on /system.
This issue is easily resolved by deleting the 4Ext folder off your SD-Card and rebooting into recovery.
Apart from that - it's rock solid and much nicer to use than Clockworkmod....
thanks guys,
i just flashed it and its pretty cool.
I noticed that when i went to info it showed my ext partition as ext2, when i am sure that i partitioned it as ext4(using gparted)
Anyone else have this problem?

that's strange, not seen that before. you can backup your sd card to PC, then repartition from scratch as ext4. i've converted ext3 to ext4 before using 4EXT, don't think it can do ext2 to ext4?
you can't restore a backup to a different file type afaik. in other words, if you have apps on ext2 at the moment, don't think they'll be happy if they're restored to ext4.
if you're flashing a brand new rom, not really a problem, you'll need to full wipe anyway, so you'll have a fresh new ext4 partition to fill.

yeah its weird. I think i'll just leave it for now as it doesnt seem to be causing any issues.
Also i got this message on the second boot into recovery saying that i changed by hboot (even though i didnt) and that i should wipe my system partition. I decided not to, and my rom booted properly, so is that message normal?
One more thing, when i boot into recovery it takes about 15 seconds to prepare the boot. Is this normal too?
15 seconds isn't normal....
That sounds like the read-only /system partition message that I've got a few times..
Resolved by deleting the 4EXT folder from SD-CARD and it was fine on the next boot into recovery. (only 2 or 3 seconds)
Thanks that fixed it.

Hi all!
I just created an sd-ext partition (ext4) on my sd-card and flashed the INT2EXT4+ script, but it doesn't seem to work.
What I did:
- Go into recovery
- Mount /system
- Installed the INT2EXT4+ script from my sd-card
- Formatted the sd-ext partition
- Rebooted my phone
I've done this a couple of times, but I still have the same amount of internal memory as before I flashed the script. (Before using this script, I tried using Link2SD but that had the same problem..)
And yes, I have init.d enabled and busybox installed and the script is located in the init.d folder.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Btw, I'm using Maclaw's AOSP ICS Final 2.

I tried the script/app without repartitioning my SD-card via CWM (I did it via Minitool Partition Wizard, so I didn't have to format my sd-card first) and it still doesn't work.. Should repartitioning via CWM fix the problem?
And btw, in the app description it says "Works on Cyanogenmod........". Since I'm not using Cyanogenmod, this app shouldn't even work, right?
Sorry if I'm being dumb now... :/
Sorry but I don't know if it works on CM rom. Others may know the answer.
I also tried Minitool Partition Wizard but the phone didn't relaize the partition. Then, I tried CWM and it worked.

Alright, I'll try that soon then and post the result here!
I don't want to format my sd-card.. :crying:
Hi There,
First off, this is my second time installing a custom ROM and I had someone else Root this phone but I used revolutionary to S-Off. I haven't installed a custom kernel and it's running clockworkmod 2.5.07.
I flashed and installed PARANOIDANDROID Woh 4.2.2 -------------------------------------->[v. 3.10b2/7th/March/2013] as per the instructions. Before starting I formatted the microsd card to 512mb of EXT4 with remaining 6.whatever Gig's of Fat32 (I used Minitool Partition Wizard on Win 7). Both were set as primary, while Fat32 was set to active, EXT4 was set to none (didn't think it made a difference?).
Everything installed fine, however, I first noticed issue when i went to run the terminal script for a2sd and it said it was read only (as attached). I tried to change permission to read/write and that didn't work. Then I realized after mounting USB storage connecting to Win 7 and opening Minitool Partition (because sd wouldn't show in My Computer) that all that was left on the micro sd was the FAT32 partition and nothing else.
So where do I go from here? I haven't added any Google account yet or did much else because there is only 14.65MB on internal now and I obviously can't send anything to sd and although I thought GAPPS went to sd in some form I guess not.
Can I recreate the EXT4 and push anything that was originally supposed to be on that partition onto it and then start installing apps there?... or do I need to repartition and reflash everything?
Also if I need to reflash, how can I ensure the same thing doesn't happen with the micro sd?
CWM wasn't formatting when I was trying to partition from Cyanogenmod 7 running Gingerbread (although then I read that CWM has bugs and could patition NAND and brick phone) so Minitool was my only sort of n00b option despite that I was having some issues but it seemed to be all fine before flashing 4.2.2.
Hopefully the attached photos will provide any further info you need to help.
Truly appreciate your help! This is my GF's Desire and I've been in the dog house playing with it all week (Cyanmod 7 was killing battery and was buggy, even stable version).
Thanks in advance once again!
** UPDATE ***
I just used my SD adapter directly into Win 7 and it's showing both partitions in Minitool and the Fat32 is available in My Computer showing music folders etc. However, the script for A2sd still never worked in Terminal Emulator saying "sh: can't create N: read-only file system"
So it appears the partition and the data is there and available but does the above message mean I can't send apps to the sd because it's read only?
Thanks again :S
Well one of your mistakes may have been using mini tool partition wizard. Many users have reported it's unreliability, and i've also had bad experiences with it in the past.
I would recommend using gparted to delete all partitions, and then using it to format the whole card to fat32.
Then install 4ext recovery instead of cwm, and use that create the ext4 partition.
If you need help on installing+using 4ext to create the sd-ext partition check out this guide
Finally do a full wipe, reflash the ROM, and activate a2sd through terminal emulator using:
Code:
su
a2sd install

Actually, I just ran your terminal codes above and that worked without reformatting or flashing!! It moved something like 94 or 96 apps and now shows 139 MB of internal storage!! Wow, I'm sooo excited. Imagine a n00b installing the latest version of Android on what is basically the original Android flagship HTC Desire/Nexus One!
BTW Should the developer maybe update with your script above vs the one listed which didn't work for me?
You guys rock!
I will start using GParted though and I assume using the liveimage USB would be best for me.
Now, I have to decide if I want to root my S3. I have 6 months left of my 1 year warranty so that's the only reason I've been debating it. Although most people say they've never heard Samsung not doing hardware repair just because a device is rooted. That sound about right?
Thanks Again!! So excited I'll end up using the old desire more than my S3!! lol

Despite the fact that it's working now, should I indeed start from scratch before she's gets too comfortable with this? Flash recommended recovery and reformat sd and reflash everything? (since I originally formatted with Minitool)
BTW it appears that when we install apps will they appear to initially go to internal but after reboot they move to sd, is this actually what is happening and we should always reboot after installs and updates? I just installed about 8 apps and the internal shows it's down to 39mb but then upon reboot it's back up to 76.46 (Originally at 139 but I assume it's all app data consuming it).
Do you recommend anything to occasionally clear app data to ensure there is always space?
For the S3 I would love it if you provided a link to root without tripping the flash counter! Gesh, I love Android more and more everyday (never an issue without solution)... this community rocks!

I just tried installing one more app ROM Toolbox (only 8.something MB) and it said insufficent space despite showing the above amount just before install. Before installing or updating anything when I realized the ext was still there, it showed I had 267MB available and I only just installed about 45mb worth of apps, likely updated about 40MB as well. So the ext4 shouldn't be full yet. Could this actually be because of the poor partition?
Ya all that stuff shouldn't be happening. I'm using the same ROM and have non of these issues, so its likely the ext partition.
Your best bet is to start again, and do what I said a couple posts up.

I'm going to attempt this now. First question is that the 4ext instructions say to download the updater, put on sd card and install. Then they instruct you to partition from there. They list the alternative as GParted.
You're saying to use GParted first and then install 4ext to partition. I just want to be sure on this but also if I format first, where I already have apps on sd will this mess anything up not allowing recovery flash or anything?
I suppose once I format the sd based on the current a2sd rom that only recovery will function. Just want to be sure on steps.

i said to use gparted to delete all the partitions, then use 4ext to make the ext partition. But now that i think about it, its probably more efficient to use gparted to do everything. So just follow the gparted method in the guide.
I would recommend creating a 1gb ext4 partition and whatevers left fat32. Also theres no need to make a swap partition for this rom.
Its perfectly fine to format the card even with the apps on it. Again just to recap this is basically what you should do:
1. Use gparted to completely wipe all partitions on the card just for a clean start, then create the fat32 and ext4 partitions (use the guide)
2. Once the partitioning is done, put the rom + and gapps on the card (on the fat32 partition)
3. Put the sd into the phone, boot into recovery and choose wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik
4. Flash the rom and gapps
5. Once the rom is flashed reboot and give it a couple minutes to settle. Then run these commands in terminal:
Code:
su
a2sd install
y
n
y
6. From then on, all apps you install should automatically go to the ext partition. I'd also still recommend installing 4ext recovery...i find it better for the desire than cwm.

he used minitool to partition the card which may have corrupted it. Wouldnt it be safer to start fresh using gparted to wipe all the partitions, so that he wont have any further issues in the future?

minitool just doesnt align it properly, just use 4ext recovery. so all he has to do is save whatever from the sdcard to pc then partition sdcard with 4ext and it will be done right. trust me, if he flashes 4ext recovery then in recovery, goto tools and check partition alignment and i bet it will say ur partitions are not aligned properly. i tried minitool ages ago to see what all the fuss was about it being sh1te and 4ext said that my partitions aint aligned so i re partitioned with 4ext and all was fine again.
Well this is welcoming because 4ext seems much easier for a n00b like me if it'll work just as well.
I was going to do a 2gb ext4 partition, is that okay versus 1gb?
Btw do you recommend any custom kernel with the desire in this rom? I noticed it is a bit laggy at times and sometimes requires a few taps before certain things activate. Maybe kernels are a little too advanced for me now though?
Or maybe some cpu tweaks or anything. I do own ROM toolbox.

Anything over 1.5gb for the ext partition is not recommended, so you probably shouldn't do 2gb.
The kernel that comes with the ROM is usually the best for the ROM, and theres not much you can do about the speed in jb roms. Ive tried the supercharger script but i honestly didnt notice any increase in speed. If your looking for a faster ROM use gingerbread.
Also dont mess around too much in rom toolbox if u dont know what your doing, you might get stuck in a boot loop and you will have to reflash the ROM.
All had worked out well and indeed the original minitool said the fat32 wasn't properly aligned. The only thing which keeps aborting is the calendar fix. I noticed chrominum's post about corrupted for our sd, redownload, check md5 and reflash. If doesn't work reformat sd, clear everything repartition and try again.
I did all that and same thing. It doesn't say why it won't work but just aborting per attached.
It did work for me previously in cwm. I only installed the last rc and not the testing version of 4ext.

We were posting at the same time. I'm starting all over again with 1.5g and we'll also see if that helps the calendar fix work.
Thanks!

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 ??
cheers

With lupus kernel ver16 for ICS
only CronMod- INT2ext works even with partition ext4.
Am using the same.Internal up to 2.5GB,stock. ICS 0587 with said kernel.

Thanks dude, would be nice to see a matrix of kernals/roms/scripts so people know what works and what dosent, would save weeks of trial and error.
ill give it a go,

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.
cheers

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.
Cheers.

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
cheers

ok, its working with apps and streaming video is fine ( it wasnt before it was really laggy and fc)
so i got as far a tesing a game, and its sooo laggy its unplayable.
im gunna forget it, i dont think my sd card is fast enough, benchmark 20ms read, 5ms write.
cheers

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.
cheers
