Help!

I'm using jordfaz's cm9.1. Seems pretty smooth. But I've got a few queries.
. Which one's better? Link2SD or S2E?
. What type of partition should I make? ext2,3 or 4?
. And what about v6 script? Is it recommended to install it on wildfire?
*Thumbs up to all helpers*
Thanks

I prefer Link2sd because with this you get to transfer individual apps of your choice to sd ext.
ext 3 would be best in my opinion.
And I have used v6 supercharger and trust me it doesnt help much.

thanks man.
and yeah, move2sd enabler is not working with jordfaz's cm9.1! any fix for that? :/
also, i've read somewhere that ext3 isn't recommended. you sure it's the one we need for our wildfire?(i mean have you already tried it?)

yup that's what's I'm using it for over a year now.

also, what about the ext3 partition's size. (i've got an 8gb class 6 memory card)

ok format it and make ext partition with recovery itself.

I recommend Link2sd

[Q] Storage Low even with link2sd installed & 800mb free internal space

Hey guys,
I have searched so many threads and still I have issue with low space.
Currently I'm on CM11, partitioned an 8GB external sdcard to fat32 and ext2 (1GB). Link2sd is running fine. However when my internal space reaches around 800MB, I can't install apps anymore!!!
I have also used internal to external app and ext2sd from k2wl...it does swap space but the issue is I can't install any apps after that. Is there a better way to work around this issue?
Thanks in advance

remove unnecessary storage apps and just keep link2sd
also wipe sd ext in recovery and remount script then see if it works
if it does not work in current rom i think will definitely work in a fresh rom

Yeah I did format system and sdcard, got 3.7 back from internal memory and created ext2 for link2sd so far so good, wish there was a way to get the other extra 4gb

have you tried sdmaid
if not then try it also
it is also a good app to clear cache and space
i am sure you will not be disappointed with that one

Internal memory getting lower (problem)

My Xperia Play's intenal memory is starting to get lower day by day. I currently have 91mb free available and i've already uninstalled many apps that i don't use daily. I've heard of the link2sd partitioning method but whenever i try i get the error "Mount script cannot be created" and i've tried all the options e.g ex2,3,4 and FAT32. I've gave up on that so now i'm wondering is there any way to get my internal memory go up since apps take up more and more space.

Do you have enough space on sd card? in my case, link2sd made ext2 partition with 1.4GB size on 16GB card (it didn't even ask me how much space it needed). Since i click it just for curiousity, i had to format that sd card in windows to get that space back. I don't need it because link2sd can move apps to sd even without that partition. Just don't move apps like widgets or launcher, all other is safe to move...
Or if you are using GB stock based rom (and you have unlocked bootloader) you can use kernel with 700MB data partition

I have 6GB space left (i think that's enough) and i only tried to make a 1GB partition. Although you can move apps to the sd, not all of the app goes to the sd, a part of it still remains in the internal storage By partitioning, you can xfer all of the apps data (aka link) to the partitioned part of the sd card. Have an unlocked bootloader, currently using xperia Z final rom by markpython (ICS)

Well, you can try to repartition sdcard manualy with minitool partition wizard

You might want to try Lupus ICS/GB v7 kernel
It has 610MB data partition (and ICSbeta have 380MB, as i recall)
But make sure you read all the info in 2nd post (esspecially under bold "important" lines)
In short, make cwm backup and/or app(and data) backup (with titanium backup)
Also, you might want to check this thread if you want to test other kernels

Just found out ur the owner of the other thread anyways what difference will it make using the other kernel? Will it fix the error "Mount script cannot be created"

As i said, i'm on GB and script worked for me. I don't know why you are getting that error. Maybe it's ROM, maybe it's kernel related, but i'm only guessing...

I just remembered something:
try to update your busybox (to fix script error)
you can do it with app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer

ok thanks ill give that a try

Just bricked my xperia play :c
I'm stuck on the LuPuS kernel bootloop
EDIT: ok i fixed that now and thanks the partitioning problem has been fixed. But i picked up a new issue. O the walkman music player app when i try to download music info it gives me the "unknown error could not download"

Link2SD for P6

Hello,
I cannot use the nonFat partition (ext 2,3,4) on P6 for Link2SD.
when I contact to developer, he said
If your ROM does not support ext file systems you can try to install necessary drives. This varies from device to device, look into the internet for a working method on your rom.

When I look in google, I can't find how to do it.
Does anyone know how to use nonFat partition on P6?
Now I'm on repack B635.
Thanks in advance!

Just a question here, did you know that stock recovery have an option that lets you install apps on sd card without installing any 3rd party app like app2sd?
it work with most apps, the only apps i cant install on sd is whatsapp and facebook app, the rest like games or ****ty aps get installed on sd card. when i get home from work i can get pictures of it.

Yeah.. I know.. But for you, Whatsapp and Facebook app can also install on SD card.. I moved the Facebook app on SD card with link2sd but I didn't move Whatsapp on SD.. when i moved this on sd, it won't open automatically when the ph is power on.
For link2sd, I want to use non-fat partition becos in link2sd plus -> we can link the internal data also (which support only non-fat partition)..
So, if anyone know how to use non-fat partition on P6 to work for Link2sd, please help me..

Hi notwo,
i write to you for inform that i have solved the problem.
i think that P6 can't read the partiotion Ext (it's not important if is 2,3 or 4 i have see that not read all the ext partition).
i have solved the problem with a partition in Fat32.
you must create two partion Fat32, the first is the partition that you can use for Movie Photo and other file, the second partition is the partition that you use for the app.
after you have create the partition open link2sd and when tell you the partition for create the script you must tap on Fat32 option.
i hope that it's all clear and sorry for my English is not my first language

Hi Foxtrot,
Thank you bro
I knew that i can cr8 2 partition as Fat32. but if i do like this, i can't use link2sd function (link data to sd "it included in link2SD plus").
its function can only work with Ext partition.
Anyway know how to use it.

Although its 1 year ago since the topic was opened, your Information was important for me.
I also found out, that a combination of Fat32 for the Link2SD files and exFat for the rest is also working fine (formatted with Aparted on Omni Rom 4.4.4).

Sorry, but I really can't remember - I hope, you found a solution.
I reinstalled B708 Neo_repack again after a week of CM and Omni. Scrolling while browsing wasn't smooth enough in my opinion - and also the problems with autostarts of gapps were annoying me...

[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..

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
