finally...

that's what i did, following the directions from the Link2SD description:

"You should have two partitions on SD card and both should be primary.

The first FAT partition is your standard SD card storage. The second partition is used for application files and can be ext2, ext3, ext4 or FAT32.

Some phones lack the ext2, ext3 or ext4 file system support and you may get mount errors like "no such device", "invalid argument". These phones need ext2.ko or ext3.ko modules and even some additional modules to be able to mount. Using FAT32 on the second partition will eleminate such problems, because FAT32 is supported on all phones."

I went back and deleted the 2nd partition then recreated it as a primary with FAT32. restarted the phone and voila! So now i don't get that error, and it worked!!! now to find out what i can really do with this :D

Anyone test this with the stock rom ?

I need to increase the internal memory of my wife's phone and I search for an solution.

I believe the link2sd is the best for her phone.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Deadly:
It should work.. stock/custom doesn't matter if all you need is link2sd to work..

Hey I formatted my card in ext3 and was unable to mount it in link2sd as an ext3. So I tried ext2 in L2SD and it works... I'm on stockrom

Probably you didn't format the card right. USB-Hub, Cardreader, or USB-Cable could be a problem.

Need Advice

I am new on this. so, sorry for the noob question

I am using link2sd, and by some video from youtube, it told me to partition my 32gb class 10 sdcard into fat32 primary

I read a lot of people using ext3 partition (I read page one too). but

I also read this http://www.ehow.com/info_12228423_ext3-vs-fat32-speed-test.html

so is there any real differencies among these format (fat32, ext, ext3 etc) that will affect my phone? which one you recommend I really need to use to get maximum performance and safe for my phone?

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Thri11:
This guide applies for all SDCard (ranging from 1GB to 32GB)..

There is mot much difference bw FAT32 and EXT3 ...

It is recommended to format to EXT3

But i personally use EXT4 in Hyperion 8 White's latest kernel

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Sp0oner:
Hi, could I please ask for some help as I have tried the guide and it's not working for me. I am an IT engineer with many years experience and usually any of this stuff is a doddle so not some kid lacking technical understanding but I'm having real trouble understanding many of the processes in android and how to get things to work. I have an SGS3 9300 with the original 3 network rom still on the device. However it is rooted successfully, I have a 32gb sd card installed with the partitions setup as per the guide although both partitions have had to be fat32 as I got errors using ext3 and I have downloaded and installed link2sd and followed instructions on its initial setup.

When I select an app and choose create links it fails. So:

Do I need to have a non stock rom to use link2sd?

Does the memory card icon next to the apps in link2sd indicate those apps are supported for moving to sd card?

What could I be doing wrong?

As an example I have just tried creating links for angry birds space and get the message: "mkdir failed for /data/sdext2/data, File exists" and the only option is to press OK. The app loads and works fine when I open it. Why am I getting these errors?

Also just gone back and re did the sd card partitioning and tried ext3 again. When I open link2sd and select ext3 it comes up with "mount script cannot be created. mount:invalid argument. ext3 may not be supported on your device.Try FAT32 on the second partition." I select OK. Is that the stock rom preventing it from working as other with SGS3's can use ext3?

Hello all

Ive a 8gb card..which has a 6.40 GB FAT32 primary and 1GB EXT3 primary partition

Im running Hyperion 8 GM final with stock kernel

Phone is rooted with latest busybox(1.21.1)

After selecting the ext3 partition it say mount script error:mount script cannot be created. mount:device or resource is busy

have tried recreating scripts but same problem

Help please
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] achilles.a:
I think I've understood my problem

When I was struggling with the "busy error"..I selected remount scripts and selected FAT16/32 for the heck of it

It proceeded to the reboot dialog..upon reboot I saw that the 2nd part was being shown as my FAT32 partition

Which means that the system is seeing my EXT3 as partition number 1 and FAT32 as partition number 2

How do I reverse the order?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TheFixItMan:
You quoted me in another thread wanting help - if you had read what you quoted you would know answer

you're using stock kernel which does not support ext

flash a different kernel for example hells fusion #50 which does

you may have to mount it as ext4

also use cwm to partition - much easier

Hyperion 8 GM+RIL fix+PurePerformancesX+Hells Fusion #50+Link2SD :D

For those who followed this guide and were successful in getting link2sd to work but were unable to see your card in your PC when connected via mass storage...

It may mean that the drive letter is NOT assigned to your FAT16/32 partition and hence Windows doesn't show it

Just go back to Minitool and check if drive letter is there..if not then right click and assign drive letter..voila..your card is back ;)

sd and linked to sd

I've set the auto mode in link2sd where it sends the apps automatically to sd card on installation

But I've seen that some apps after install the notification by link2sd comes that app is linked to sd

In the apps list in link2sd some apps are shown ON SD while some others linked to SD

Is there any difference?

Should i disable auto option?

Problem with link2sd apps hidden

I rooted my phone sometime bakc n installed a Gingericejelly ROM on my set samsung galaxy s6102. To increase the internal memory of my phone i partitioned my memory card into 3.04 GB FAT32 and 655 MB FAT32(ex2 was not recognisable by my set). After this i linked my SDcard to my internal memory using Link2SD. Now the problem is- Some of my apps have hidden themselves for ex: Camera, Link2SD , Google Play. I have no means to unhide these apps or revert the settings of Link2Sd because the app has hidden itself. I happen to have a google play shortcut on my app drawer but even that is not working. If i try to install any .apk file by getting it from my PC it is not installing. what am i to do??

link2sd

Thank you very much for this tutorial

Unfortunatelly, despite all my efforts I did not succeded in making link2sd working.

I mention that I sucesfully installed Link2SD on a Samsung Gio so I know the main procedure.

So, please help me:

- Device: 8'' tablet ALLVIEW Viva H8+

- Android 4.4.2

- Device rooted, acces management with SuperSU

- I installed Link2sd

- I formatted the SD card using Minitool Partition wizard in 2 Primary partitions, one FAT 32, of about 12 GB, the second ext2, of about 4 GB

- When I start Link2 Sd, it ask for root access and I provide it;

- After this it asks to select the file system of the SD card and I select ext2

the response is: "Cannot created mount script. No such device".

Variations:

- if I format the small partition of the sd card with ext4 or fat32, the script will be mounted and the partition recognised.

But if I link a program to sd, the program will be moved and marked with Linked on SD, and it will ask to restart the device.

However, after the restart the program will not be visible (!) neither on the tablet main menu, nor in Link2SD. The program will be lost. In fact, I checked, and the program files exist, moved in the correct partition, but no links are generated and the program cannot be used.

What's to be done?

Thank you very much for any advice you can give me.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TheFixItMan:
Make sure your kernel supports ext partitions - change to a custom kernel that supports this if required

Create the partition in cwm instead (it will format the sd card so backup to pc first & transfer data back after)

Select each of the possible ext mounts in link2sd to see if another one works
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] salex2014:
link2sd

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

Unfortunately my tablet is a no name AllView VivaH8+ and I barely found a program to root it. (Kingo Root)

I cannot find any suitable CWM or kernel to flash on such a tablet...

Are there any suitable generic kernels for kitkat 4.4.2 to use with my tablet?

Thanks
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TheFixItMan:
No a kernel is device specific & contains all the modules & vendor information to boot & run the hardware on your device

You should be able to partition in mini tool - try partitioning in ext3 or ext4 and then try the various mount scripts in link2sd starting with ext4 and work backwards (you can still try selecting ext4 when it's formatted ext3)

I have samsung galaxy mini GT-s5570. I have used Link2sd. I have 8gb memory card and allow 1gb for ext4 partition. When sometimes I flashed new rom and use Link2sd to link my applications , after linking all applications it shows free internal storage of 115 mb from 178 mb and EXT4 partition of sd card shows around 465mb out of 1gb. But due to problem I flashed same rom again and installed same number of same applications as previous and links all with SD card. Link2sd shows free space of only 65mb out of 178mb and EXT4 partition shows the only 243 mb filled out of 1gb. After that I tried with changing second partition file system , also format rom about 2-3 times., but the result is same as in 2nd case. What is the problem? because from My 1gb 2nd partition around 750 mb is free and now my internal storage is full. So can't install more app. Can anybody solve it?

SD Second partition will not mount

Hi all

I have a Samsung Galaxy GT-i9300 and recently rooted with great help from r25txe on [help thread] Galaxy S3 ask any questions.

To start this what I have on the S3 regards apps installed that require root:

TWRP Manager, ES File explorer [with root explorer on], Super SU, Root Checker [ root verified] BusyBox pro [by Stephan Erickson] Titanium and Link2SD.

My problem is with the external SD [32gb] card that I installed after rooting but before I installed I formatted the SD card 1st partition to FAT32 and size to 28.43gb, Primary, label name Android-SD. 2nd Partition to ext3 and size to 913mb, Logical, label name Android-EXT3 [used mintool partition wizard] I also ran surface test on both partition with no errors.

The problem is when I run Link2SD opens a window asking to select the file system for the SD card's second partition and when I select ext3 I get an error saying "mount script cannot be mounted, mount: invalid argument" and when I run Titanium I notice that the external SD card is seen BUT only the 1st partition.

Could anyone give some advice on the above problem.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TheFixItMan:
This is the galaxy y 5360 section so only general advice can be given as you have posted in the wrong forum

1 - your kernel must support ext partitions

2 - try other mount scripts like ext4 instead link2sd

3 - format the sd card correctly - I use cwm to create partition

4 - use the latest version of link2sd from the playstore - don't use warez it will break it

Is there a thread for this sort of problem for the S3 or will it be in general Q's ??

Link2sd is free - download it from the playstore

The premium version just gives extra features

So to answer your question - install the free version from the playstore and test

It's not rom (albeit it should support all versions of Android) dependant - it's more kernel dependant on ext support of your second ext sd partition

Hi CarlDeanCatabay, As a Senior member that published the Guide for Link2SD for Dummies I hope you could HELP me

I cannot install anymore applications. I got an error "Can't install app - insufficient storage available".

I lack place on my device, so I move app as much as I can to the External card using AParted and Link2SD.

I found out that every time I want to link to SD card with Link2SD I got a warning: "NOT MOUNTED - /data/sdext2 mount not found"

When Link2SD starts, it opens a window asking to select my SD card's second partition from the following list: ext2, ext3, ext4 (the others are irrelevant). Whatever I choose I get an Mount script error "Mount script cannot be created. Mount invalid argument".

I checked the Storage Info (using the Link2SD app), and found that all the "partitions" - like Internal, SDcard, External SD, System and Cache - have some data and the percentage of free place - except "SD Card 2nd Partition" that remains empty. There is even a label that says "NOT MOUNTED".

Using Root Explorer, I found "sdext2" ! It is under "root" as follows: "/data/sdext2". Its permissions are "rwxrwx--x". I unchecked the last "x" (it shows on the column of Other Execute) but it didn't saved! Why? This is an CATCH 22 situation I cannot download and install app but I can continue to use my phone with a lot of app removed!

Is there a way to delete the /data/sdext2?

is there a way to mount the ext2?

How can I repair it?

Somebody with some help?! Please, don't recommend me to use the frightened FACTORY RESET - I had enough of this solution!

My S4 works with a stock ROM and it is rooted!

thanks, Roby
