What does the following error in link2SD mean?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
I have enough space on my partition so I don't understand the problem
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
not sure but i am having problems also with 64gb sd so i would probably think it's the same with too big partition, it's advised to be less than 1GB
hopefully it sorts out the problem after testing
Sorry this maybe off topic but undisputed guy what rom you using? And how did you remove am/pm from status bar
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
I'm using Gin2JB. I think AM/PM goes once you change it to 24 hour time format

The strange thing is that I had it working fine but then I wiped my partition (not before moving the apps2SD) because it was full and now it doesn't work

How I that that rom for gaming against nxt le because I use nxt le with a visualization mod wich makes it look alot better is gin2jb just gb themed to look nicer?
And haha how stupid of me not to realise that lol thanks mate
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Gin2JB is just gingerbread themed to look like Jellybean. It works well and gaming is smooth although I do experience bad lag on some games such as the amazing Spider-Man. Not sure how it compares to NXT as I've not used it.
Regarding link2SD, I got everything linked eventually by persisting but then saw that my 1.5GB partition was somehow full which I didn't understand. I don't get how apps could take up over 1.5GB so I decided to move everything back onto the SD card and try linking them again. Don't really know what I was thinking. This led to the phone displaying and having less than 1mb internal storage which meant I could barely do anything. I moved 2apps to the SD card from settings to free up some memory but I don't know why it did that as I already moved them to SD using link2SD.
Anyways, my problem currently is why my whole 1.5GB is being filled up? Why is it taking that much storage?

Less than 1GB partion? Oh Dear.. My partion's 2.5GB and its fine. Im running a 32gb SD though and my phone decided to move all of my apps back to internal storage.. Sigh. And I dont think its booting up anymore. >.<

I had a 2GB partition on my 32GB SD but this 64GB card is causing problems without a partition.
Is it normal for a 1.5GB partition to be filled up using only link2sd?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
Well, My partitions 2.5GB with only 0.9GB space left. So I think ive used 1.6GB alone. >.< I only have 404 apps altogether according to Link2SD (Including System Crap)
Thanks for the reply. Looks like i need to make my partition bigger then.
On a slightly related note, why isn't TB restoring my missing apps with data? It either fails or says the batch restore is finished yet i have nothing. I just need tetris and bruce lee as they can't be had from the play store

So i created the second partition on my SD card using minitool partition on my PC, but when i try to set the link location in the app it says either device is busy or sdext2 doesn't exist.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
Not sure if its relivant but what sd card do you have? Brand, size and class?
I got a SanDisk 32gb class 4 with ex2 and fat32 and mine works fine....
Did you read any instructions on this as well?
Its a sandisk 16gb class 4. Minitool said the original and new partition are fat32, but my only other option was ntfs. Should I recreate it using ntfs instead?

No, NTFS is not supported. What do you mean it was your only other option? Were the ext file systems not showing up as possibilities? Also, how sure are you of the microSD card's legitimacy?
When i was choosing my file system in minitool I could only choose ntfs or fat32. But when i browse using root explorer its in my data folder as data/sdext2. But link2sd doesn't recognize it to link to.
And legitimacy is 100% because I bought it at radio shack
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
Well its working now. Not sure what happened. Maybe it auto mounted the ext2 the first time, and so when i tried to mount it using link2sd it was giving me an error? Either way, this app is awesome lol.
Thanks for trying to help me out. I appreciate it.

Strange, if I am understanding you right; the 2nd partition was mounted as sdext2 yet link2sd never recognized it...weird

No problem, glad to hear it worked out. It was probably something simple like maybe link2sd not initially asking you for info on the 2nd partition. Regardless, ya, link2sd is amazing. Early on I was always confused between App2SD and Link2SD; the I figured it all out. It's almost pointless to use anything BUT Link2SD. It makes life so much easier, especially with our severely limited internal space on the Xperia Play.

I got 1 more question regarding this app. I have a 16 gig memory card but I'm buying a 32 gig memory card and obviously want to transfer all my data over. Where do I find and how do I transfer all the linked data? I can't seem to access it when I'm viewing my memory card.

So I can't get this to work. ... anyone know why? Something about storage emulator. ...

I have to ask.. why? My GN2 shows that I have 9.3 GB free... I understand the need for this on the older devices like the OG EVO where int storage was scarce but on our kind of devices with so much memory... what is the point?
Really? It's pretty common knowledge that Google removed that functionality from Jelly Bean.

works great
i bought a 64gb class 10 sdcard and followed that video (can't put links yet) but someone posted the link in this thread and it's working great.
I did have some trouble moving the apps, but i am a noob with android, I just uninstalled it all and re-downloaded them on playstore (couldn't figureout titanium pro) it downloaded on the new 64gb, all the apps run great i didn't notice any lag at all, everything seems to be downloading to the 64gb I'm HAPPY!
Well I stand corrected.

I also like to have the option and I am glad to see that it can be done.
I got a 64gig card as well, and really don't see the point using apps2sd anymore. 10gb free on the phone is a lot of apps, but I'm also a pretty light user compared to most.
Unfortunately, running you SD card as internal memory puts a tremendous amount of strain on the card. There's a high chance of corruption at some point in time, then you're screwed. I prefer something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp

If you pull the card will it automatically swap to internal?

I know it works with my 32gb but since I upgraded to 64gb it doesn't like it, if I just install apps without it it works every so often when I reboot I have to mount manually so it's probably a sd problem

So I've used this to resize the 10Gb and use the unallocated space. All was well, formatted to fat32 as per usual. Now windows won't pick it up, and the program classifies it as a bad disc This is worse then before because I can't even use it What do I do now?

Did you try formating the sd card on sd card adapter?
Unfortunately the card no longer shows in windows or any other SD card tool but the partition one and I can't do anything in that anymore as the options are all blanked out as its a bad disk

Connect your sd via adapter and create one big partition and set it as active. That should do it

Nope, tried, says it's bad. Finally getting around to taking it back today

Wth does ram have to do with nand memory?
To OP. That is correct amount but not cause of RAM. The 16gb memory is partitioned for system, cache data etc.
And the one left is your sdcard.
You can always an external sdcard for music, photos and movies.
But game data and some other data like from gps apps must install in internal.

I just read something about nand memory being used as ram extension. I have no idea if that is the case here or not. http://wikibon.org/wiki/v/The_adoption_of_NAND_Flash_as_a_Seamless_Extension_of_RAM_Memory
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
If I understand that correctly it means that after ram is filled it will use nand space as virtual ram. I think that would decrease read speeds as nand is significantly slower than ram.
