Also, I know you guys are saying it's not a hardware issue but I don't know what else it could be when my wife's phone is identical and doesn't have the same issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
i read the whole thread. you hint here, you're flashing rom and kernel. i suggest you reflash whatever you're using, but doing a thorough wipe. or trying another kernel. the phone just came out and even though everybody says this or that kernel is stable and badass, basically they're all experimetal/beta on the fly with the constant updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alpharetta:
I am using [ROM] |12|17|11|BeastMOD II v4.2 right now. The Wifi calling feature is available, but not working right. It always say the sim card is not ready when calling via wife connection.

Anybody has detach wifi calling feature application, so I can install on my phone?

Thanks

Alpharetta
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] calpencil:
How did you find a way to enable it in the first place? I've been doing everything just to figure a way out. I tried changing the radio, but without the option in the Wireless & Network Settings, I can't even try it out.

Did you do something or try to add something on top of BeastMod 4.2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
That rom is 2.3.5, if you need the wifi calling you'll need to flash a 2.3.6 Rom.

Powered by the SGSII....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] badaphooko01:
Not to hijack this thread, but my wifi stopped working altogether yesterday. Before that everything was working fine including the wifi calling. It connects then disables itself. Any ideas, and I might just have to teflash tonight. Hey op do you live in Alpharetta? I I work there and live in Cummings. think small world ehh?

Add On's and FAQ's

Adding in a Linux Swap If Wanted, Supported, and Needed:

Personally I don't see the use for it but hey. Sometimes people want the kitchen sink included as well right? :p

1/ Increase your unallocated space in the FAT32 resize to around 1550 MB

2/ Right click on the unallocated space and make your Ext2/Ext4 partition of around 1027 MB

3/ Right click on the remaining unallocated space at the end of the drive and choose Linux swap for partition type. Again make sure it's a Primary and not a Logical parition!

Apply.

Have fun...(And click thanks!
[HTC Wildfire S] bingzz:
How would I know which partition my kernel supports? I'm using alquez's CM7.
[HTC Wildfire S] szuladam:
i wana do the partitions for this

but this topic said u need "3rd-Linux Swap - mine is 512MB" its a 3rd partitio? or how shall i do this? or the 3rd partition is not necessary?and just stay relax, make my sd card as d33ps1x wrote in this thread, and i can easily install that linked ROM with 800mhz processor?
[HTC Wildfire S] hanynemesis:
+1 same

i got cm7 but link2sd didnt work should i flash kernel or something like that
[HTC Wildfire S] bingzz:
I used the ext2 partition and it worked fine for me, I'd recommend that for you too.
[HTC Wildfire S] hanynemesis:
so after create ex2 partition setup link2sd and choose ex2 and all ok ?
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
Used ext4 for alquez' cm7.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Ext4 is fine for CM7. Recommended. Just make sure you choose it when you first run Link2SD.

I am using it without issues.

Regards,

DS
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
You don't NEED a linux swap but just add into the equation

1/ Created 1.5 gb of free space

2/ Create second Ext4 partition

3 Create linux swap partition with remainder of space at end of disk.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Here you go...Instructions for swap.
[HTC Wildfire S] rkleinhenz:
Suggestion (since this is so noob-friendly otherwise): Instead of mentioninf dalvik, refer to .dex files, synonymous in this context (at least my version of link2sd refers to apk, dex and lib files)

Regards,

Rich
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Appreciate the constructive input. Will do.
[HTC Wildfire S] hanynemesis:
OK guys i followed all steps and after setup link2sd and open it it ask for permission sure i press ok and choose ex4 partition type then got this error

Mount script error

mount script cannot be created

mount:mounting/dev/block/vold/179:2on /data/sdex2

failed :device or resource busy.

of-course i have ex4 partition after my fat partition both are primary and the fat one is active my memory is 2 GB

tried to restard and try again same error so what i had done wrong ?
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Hmm............Does your primary SD partition still function right?
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
Did this but was stuck on cm7 boot screen after a reboot. :(
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Wipe Cache and Dalvik cache and try reboot again.
[HTC Wildfire S] szuladam:
thx for help. so actualy the linux swap patition it not necessary. than what for?

without it that rom wont work? (the apps will go to ext4 partition, so what goes for 3rd one?)

or does is have any advantage/disadvantage?

(this questions apply only for HTC WFS ofc)
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
It's what it says it is. Memory swap space.

It swaps out rarely used memory pages to the swap to make room for immediate use of active ones.

If your ROM kernel supports it give it a go with and without and see if you notice performance gains in your everyday use.

Google will provide you with lots of info on what a linux swap partition is and it's benefits/detriments.
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
Thank you. Great tutorial btw. One question - what would you recommend that I keep on the SD card to avoid boot problems?

Hey it took me forever to search these forums for my help, but no luck. I was hoping someone from here can help me out...I been trying to work on this for 4 hours now lol. Well I followed the instructions from the OP and installed Link2SD. Tried to mount ext2 or FAT16/32 and they both didn't work...

-ext2 gave me (mount script cannot be created)

-FAT16/32 gave me (Invalid agrument)

I have no clue what's going on...I flashed Modpunks ROM with someone's building Nightlies with it, from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1882311&highlight=link2sd and tried using the search function to get answers but noone seems to have a problem with. I suspect it's the ROM or Kernel...is there a workaround with this? Sorry, I would post at that thread but I can't even post in Development Threads lol

Ext2sd space was 1.0G, tried to use 2.0G but I thought it wouldn't let me and my SD card is SanDisk 16GB

Hi,

I have a Xperia Arc Lti15 and it works fine (link function to new partition) but now the USB attach function from the phone (to see the SD on my PC as external storage) doesn't work anymore...I'm using CM9.

Anyone else having this issue? Someway to fix it?
[HTC Wildfire S] varunmehta11:
Ever since i've created 2nd partition [ext2] for Link2sd(using ClockWord recovery) on my 8gb class6 micro-sd, i've noticed significantly slow file transfer when i connect my phone to pc as Mass Storage..

Before partitioning:- write speed: 5-7MBps

After ext2 partitiong: write speed: 1-1.2MBps..

Is this an issue..? Will it slow down the speed of my phone as i've linked apps to my sd card ext2 partition ??
[HTC Wildfire S] AKFourSeven:
I am quite new to all this (yes a noob) but it seems that the guide is really HTC oriented so if the device needs to be S-OFF or HTC Dev unlock does that mean that for an Sony Ericsson device it needs to be rooted, or is there a different kind of steps to be done ?

Primary FAT32 partition not recognized

By following the tutorial, my tablet (Kyros MID7015A) is able to create links on the ext2 partition on a 16GB SD card. But I have problems:

1. The tablet is unable to recognize the primary FAT32 partition.

The tablet settings says on SD card "Total space" and "Available space" are both "Unavailable", and both "Unmount SD card" and "Format SD card" options are disabled.

2. Remove link is not working. Link2SD app just hangs when I want to remove any link back to the internal.

I tried to resize the FAT32 partition to different size and make it active or none, primary or logical, it just can't be recognized by the tablet while the partition is working fine in any case on my Windows 7.

Anyone has experienced this? I need help on what I can do next. Thanks!
[HTC Wildfire S] tom1807:
Ok, I give up, maybe some of you can tell me whats wrong.

Previously:

WFS, Android Stock Rom 2.3.5, rooted, S-ON

Link2SD worked without issues with ext2, 1.5GB

Now updated to CynaanogenMod 4.1.2 by benjamingwynn compiled October 14, 2012

Link2SD doesn't work anymore

SD Card: 32GB FAT32

Followed the steps again whats written in the tutorial

ext2 created -> Mount Script cannot be created

ext4 created -> Mount Script cannot be created

Fat32 -> Mount Script cannot be created

Different SD Cards tried, same result

Formatted with PHE, with Acronis, with CWM, always same result.

Installed CyanogenMod again, still same

SU 3.2 running, of course no problems.

Still Link2SD cannot create the mount script.

Opening Link2SD, it tells SD Card 2nd partition not mounted.

I read in the Faqs of Link2SD that the S-Off is also necessary, but previously it also worked, so this can't be true

If I missed anything, please let me know

Cheers Tom

Update: Installed Speed Droid, Link2SD works
[HTC Wildfire S] raj_k_r:
I created ext4 partition but when I mount scripts it takes ext2. Why is this? If I select ext4, it says cannot mount scripts and device is busy. It works fine though (by taking ext2). Just cross checked in partition magic and it shows the ext4 partition.

Does your ROM support ext4?

Minitool gives me a big headache...

I am trying to create an ext2 partition but it always ends up aborting the whole thing with the following message (or similar):

Failed to execute the following command:

I have tried three different micro SD cards, different partition sizes, i ran Minitool as Administrator (windows vista) just in case, but I always get the same text. Slight variations of the message appear when I obviously use different partitions and once or twice I am getting different error codes (4 or 6).

Thanks but I need it for a friend's Wildfire S who is going to stick with the stock kernel and ROM. That's the reason i need a way to create an ext2 partition. Unfortunately 4ext recovery that i have on my phone gives you the option for ext3/4...

Late edit: I partitioned the card with Gparted (this method has never failed me) and after five days the phone works smoothly.

how to transfer data into sd card without card reader

Is there any way how to transfer data into sd card without card reader
[HTC Wildfire S] Lucky0311:
Can't get there from here

The minitool partition wizard will not let me create the partition in the newly allocated space. It says:

"MiniTool Partition Wizrd cannot create a new partition on this removable disk. If you like to create several partitions on this removeable disk, you need to delete all the partitions first"

Your instructions say to click on the "YES" button and go on. But there is only an OK Button and you cannot go on from there. It just stops the create process.

What the heck do I do now?

Thank you.

Lucky
[HTC Wildfire S] Lucky0311:
Okay. This procedure falls flat at step 12. MiniTool Partition Wizard just won't create a second partition on the SD Card. Tried it as illustrated below and tried it using SPLIT PARTITION, which does make it look like it's going to do the split and then format the new partition in EXT4 but never actually does it. Tried this in from number of different directions with the same results. It just won't create that second partition. It lets me resize the existing partition and even format that partition from FAT to FAT32; so, I know it can write to the SD Card. This is all just crazy. Why do we need to go through all this just to get some hefty storage apps onto the SD Card?

I've been working on the old SD Card that came in the Wildfire S, with 2 Gb. So, there shouldn't be any compatibility issues. Plugged the SD Card into my printer and it shows up in explorer.

I have a large contacts database, email and calendar from a secure server running Exchange 2010 and I really need the data for all that to store on the SD Card -- where there's 27 GB available. That would probably free up only 25 MB to 30 MB.

This just limits the phones usefulness.

Yes its working perfectly.

It took me a couple of tries at which time I thought I completely screwed up my 32GB class 10 sdcard.

PC would not read my sdcard.Had to reformat which meant loosing everything stored,but hey,I copied all contents to my PC beforehand,so no probs.

Redid the process,format repartitioned and it works.Except i had no idea where to put what.:)

After reading the full text on OP now got a feeling how to slither thru.

Bonjours a toutes et a tous,

je viens de router mon defy mini xt320, avec succès, toust vas bien,en fait la mémoire est assez courte pour pouvoir installer plus d'apk

en gardant toujours la même version Stock, (j'utilise la version TNBST_4_0A.1D.22RPS_flex_WE_RTIT), et j'ai trouvé l'astuce pour pouvoir améliorer la capacité du Rom, il suffit d'utiliser une carte mémoire vierge, de créer une partition fat32 logique de capacité 1027 mo et l’insérer dans le téléphone installer, ensuite link2sd.apk sur ton téléphone, il va détecter cette nouvelle partition et l vous demande de redémarrer ton téléphone pour activer le script d'auto-liage.
[HTC Wildfire S] sandroidnz01:
English please,my friend.

I believe you are crying out for help.Let people hear what sort of help you need.But in English!

Edit:

I don't think this guy is crying for help.I think he is crying out in jubilation as he had created 2 partitions.One of 1027 as ext4 and the rest to Fat32.

Good on you,mate.

PS:

Guys,a simple partition guide.

Let's take a 4GB SD card.For example you need : 3800MB for your sdcard and 1000++ for you Ext4.

When inserted in a card reader and slotted in your PC it will read its free space maybe at 3.85GB ( I'm only guessing)

If its the card that you are using,minitool will prompt to delete and create extentions.

If you are bright,you would have backed up a copy of your sdcard contents to a folder in your PC.

Now create,the free space in your sdcard in kbs 3850...the value in the middle of the box.

Then there is this two arrows beside the values.Press the one the shows down.

Now the values on top will decrease and the values in the bottom will increase.

The top is your Fat32 i. e. your SD card free space 3856 MB.

The bottom values are for your ext4, 1024MB.

There are 4smaller boxes above.

In one put as Primary,right below that put as Fat32.On the two other boxes on your right leave it as it is.

Now press OK.

Done,your Fat32.

Now click on the values which is the 1024MB and create.

Mini tool will prompt can't do this,click partition anyway.

Do not touch the arrows to decrease,just press OK.

Look at what the Mini tool is actually giving you as values for both Extentions.

Then press Apply tab at the top far left corner.Wait and it will be done.

After I had done something similar to this I had downloaded a script and flashed it with clockworkmod.

[SCRIPT] CronMod- INT2EXT (updated 02/22)

Look at screenshot below post.
[HTC Wildfire S] sandroidnz01:
The screenshot.
[HTC Wildfire S] Nightshadow931:
Thats completely unneccessary.

Why would you use Link2SD if you have already flashed int2ext?
[HTC Wildfire S] sandroidnz01:
Did you read the first post.

Clearly states that link2sd will not recognize Ext4.As was the case with mine too.

Furthermore I wanted to increase my internal memory from a mere 380MB.Which later increased an additional 40MB.Totaled 420MB.

This is not sufficient as the updates for system apps were coming thick and fast.

So to increase my internal memory I have to use the above mod.

Does that answer your question.

But to increase to 3.75GB as internal memory I think is a bit too much.

So on my second sdcard I've only increased it to 1.25GB as EXT4 and the rest to FAT32.
[HTC Wildfire S] Nightshadow931:
I'm using Link2SD with ext4 partition.
[HTC Wildfire S] Mystique03:
1) Just to clear things up; Is it possible to have an Ext4 partition with more than 2GB, like 10GB on a 32GB SD card?

2) If so what kernels do support Ext4, where am I supposed to see that ?
[HTC Wildfire S] Nightshadow931:
1) Yes, but don't bother making partition larger than 500mb for Link2SD on WFS, cause you're gonna need internal memory too.For example, I have around ~92 apps installed, and I have ~23mb free space on internal memory, 313mb used on sd-ext partition.

2) Most of them does.I'd suggest cake kernel.
[HTC Wildfire S] Jimmys1:
I can't use link2sd with skype and winamp.

It says ''mkdir failed , i/o error'', although these two apps are presented movable.

my device is rooted, LP p765, my sd card is class 10 16gb

and the partition is

fat32 : 13gb

but when i tab move to sd card , is said " Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE " :confused:

what i do ???

thx xda
[HTC Wildfire S] arieftheluffy:
any body help :confused::confused:
[HTC Wildfire S] Nightshadow931:
Try to reboot ur device.

How much apps do you have installed?
[HTC Wildfire S] KESOnomicon:
for clarification, is the file system choice (ext2, ext4) dependent on ROM or Kernel or both? been reading various posts saying one or the other, confusing me even further.

my main question is regarding the partitioning itself. creating fat32 is all good, primary, active, read by computer and phone. problem is after creating the 2nd partition, all the space becomes 'used' and the file system changes to 'other'. this happens no matter what file system i select, it just won't stay after the 2nd partition has been created.

been at it for awhile now and i feel like i'm either doing something wrong or even though the micro sd card functions, it's faulty somehow. i know minitool isn't at fault. i have tried partitioning via recovery with no luck as well. i assume others have run into this since i get the same error as some when using link2sd (not knowing the 2nd partition didn't create properly). they just haven't posted whether or not they ever solved it.

any advice would be greatly appreciated!
[HTC Wildfire S] Nightshadow931:
It depends on kernel.AFAIK, every kernel supports ext2/3, b=and ext4 is supported by most of the custom kernels.

Show me a screenshot of your partitions from minitool.
[HTC Wildfire S] KESOnomicon:
i haven't been filling up the microSD card since i can't get it to partition properly. been formatting and reformatting it trying to get it to where i can use it with link2sd. again, it doesn't matter which file system i choose or how big i make the 2nd partition, results end up the same. preferably, i'd like the 2nd partition to be ext4.

pic attachments are before and after creating the partition.
[HTC Wildfire S] Nightshadow931:
You're doing something wrong there.

You should right click and create the partition, and choose filesystem.It should also be primary partition, not logical.
[HTC Wildfire S] KESOnomicon:
apparently i have a corrupted microSD card and thus can't be partitioned how i'd like. the minitool process works fine, as i tested it with another microSD card i had laying around. got it formatted and created a 2nd partition with ext4 file system. link2sd worked with it as well. so i guess if anyone comes across similar problems (link2sd errors and can't create 2nd parition properly), i'd suggest trying the process out with another card or getting your current one tested for corrupted space.
[HTC Wildfire S] HyperEscape:
Thanks for the guide will try it and post.
[HTC Wildfire S] goodbyex:
