Excellent.

I proposed ext3 only because it is supported and by stock kernel.

Ext4 is better (read faster with less tear down of micro SD card).

Ext2 is fastest but lack journalling.

Good choice.

Used link2sd on both gb and ics. Working reliably.

Since I owe and HTC Desire now I'm using a2sd script from one of Desire Roms. Only because I have class 10 card and a2sd is faster when installing and deinstalling. And it's ok in my case if all apps are moved to a2sd since dalvik cache is not moved.

Kind Regards.

Hello!

I have an Xperia Arc S with locked bootloader and stock ICS 4.3.1, i have made root and installed x-PARTS 7 and CMW 5.5.0.4, i don't have much experience but reading a lot of blogs and users experiences about MicroSD and Link2SD i have maked partitions on my MicroSD 32 GB ADATA Class 10 successfully. And just to make a reference for future friends with doubts about it, i made it like this:

1st. Partition: 29.5 GB, Primary, Fat 32

2nd Patition 1.40 GB, Primary, Fat 32

Also works with 2nd Partition 1.40 GB, Primary, Ext3

All Partitions made with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home 7.5, it's free.

And also i've made the partition directly with the recovery, obviously the process takes more time but it creates me:

1st Partition: 28.77 GB, Primary, Fat 32

2nd Partition 1.91 GB, Primary, Ext3

3rd Partition 244.20 MB, Primary, Linux Swap

But the swap partition i can't used, i have tried swapper 1 and 2 but i can't activated, i have read this only works with some no official ROMS and with custom kernels, so i recomed for stock devices like mine to make the partitions manually and Link2Sd will work with no problems. I hope my little experience can be useful for future reference.

P.D. Sorry i f my english it's no very good, moderator, feel free to fix the gramma.
[Xperia Arc General] Jeanbassil:
even with locked bl it will work from CWM ( but needing root also of course)
[Xperia Arc General] ejay_gl:
just remember that you would never use link2SD to move or create link for your system app. i've done that and my phone starts to lag. After that i've created link only for google maps, gmail and facebook and i don't have lag. Just don't move too many system app's
[Xperia Arc General] MatteoM89:
Confirm it! I've done this procedure partitioning my SD card from CWM installed with Xparts and then used EXT3 because stock kernel don't recognize EXT4. It's usefull and, for now, I didn't notice any issues
[Xperia Arc General] Munchkin86:
Hello, I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc with the stock firmware (Xperia_Arc_LT15i_4.1.B.0.587_Generic_World).

I want to flash custom rom "SJB X 4.5 Enjoy Xperia Styled Jelly Bean", which is running Android 4.2.2

There are only 4 kernels which are working for this android version for Xperia Arc.

But the descriptions of the kernel don't explain if these kernels support init.d or ext-partition.

The original kernel of this custom rom is 3.4-nAa-03.

With this kernel it is not possible to create a partition through CWM, has to do it with Wizard Partition tool.

I did that and choose FAT32 as ext-partition.

But after rebooting Link2SD didn't recognized the FAT32 partition (choose 1.9GB).

It said it was unable to mount and create the link.

What should I do.

The fusion 5.5 kernel is not useful, i can create a partition through CWM, but once the rom is loaded the wifi option is blanked out.

Any good suggestions?
[Xperia Arc General] ULTRAM4X:
Link2sd is the best way to free system partition space, I am actually using an 16 GB card, with 1 Gb of Ext Partition and all is Ok.
[Xperia Arc General] cacigge:
Did you follow this guide here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning

Make sure both partitions are primaries, your first partition will be FAT32 and your second partition will simply be ext2 or ext3 chosen from the dropdown menu, is that how you did it?
[Xperia Arc General] shoiebarshad:
it is really a must have app with xperia arc.
[Xperia Arc General] arpcpro:
What is the purpose of keeping a FAT32 partition on the SD card?

I am thinking in formatting the SD card as ext4 creating one huge 32Gb partition.
[Xperia Arc General] huy_engineer:
The ext4 partition is used to store data of your apps to free device internal space. Your computer can't read ext4 partition so you can't copy movies, music, photoes, documents... to your phone.that why you must have a fat32 partition on your SD card.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SexyIceCream:
hi guys, i know this is a super noob question but eh...do i need to disconnect my phone from the computer when it's in MTP mode? or do i just plug the usb cable out. cause there's no option for me to disconnect the phone safely, either on the com or on the phone itself...:confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Just pull it out.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iGoOsE76:
You just disconnect the phone. No need to do anything else.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamIrene:
just unplug the cable
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SexyIceCream:
haha ok thanks for answering that question guys, really appreciate it. too used to the thumbdrive-like experience on the s1.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gloris:
just wondering if anyone has tried a third party battery replacement and what success if any they have had?

battery life is obviously an issue with this handset (sometimes i can barely scrape a day out of it, even if it's sat idle :s), so i've been looking for replacement batteries, but they don't seem to be as readily available as they are for other phones (probably because replacing it involves a little disassembly?).

i've seen some that are supposedly 1850 mah (what's the point), some around 1900 mah (again, the tock is 1750, why bother)....but some that claim to be around 2500 mah, which might be a good idea, but i;'m just wondering if anyone has tried one with this phone and whether they have noticed much improvement?

i used to have one of the cameron sino "big" batteries on my wildfire s, and it did defintiely last alot longer, but obviously because it was a much larger (physically) battery....but these don't seem to even exist for the xperia s.

any recommendations?
[LG Optimus 2x] freshwaterplimpies:
Hey, just wanna know what your replacement will be. :)

Mine will be the sgs3. well dev support for this phone is highly supported and updates are seeding regularly. I am really disappointed for lg's lack of support for this phone i mean we've been waiting for the ics upgrade for months and still none. then jb came out, still no ics. what gives?

So, what will it be? :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
Very hard decision. I don't like the cover of the sgs3 and the HTC One X and LG Optimus 4X HD have Nvidia chipsets, so I think I won't buy any of these phones.

First, I wait for a new Nexus phone, because I like the instant updates. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] spica1234:
First of all let we have ICS, replacing 2x w/o ICS upgrade is too early decision
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
Yes. I'll also wait for ICS update and 4.1 custom roms. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] freshwaterplimpies:
Okay, maybe i'll wait for the ics upgrade maybe it'll be worth the wait with HW acceleration and all.

P.S. I use your kernel and all I can say is BUTTER! It's super snappy and zero lag and good battery life. Keep it up! :D
[LG Optimus 2x] V.Dragos:
when i will eventually get another phone it will be a nexus.
[LG Optimus 2x] Pascalwb:
Some Nexus, but not now, maybe next year.
[LG Optimus 2x] galaxyfitankit:
Guys how about lg optimus l7...it's cheap and looks awesome with ics...
[LG Optimus 2x] xExabyte:
The nex(t)us. :D

Never ever going to purchase a LG product again. Same counts for Nvidia.
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
I'll be waiting for Cortex-A15 processors to come out. My contract expires in April 2013, hopefully by then we'll see a couple of phones with those processors.
[LG Optimus 2x] wjr002:
Nexus.

If they don;pt hurry up with ICS for the 2x I'll get a nexus 7 soon and just tether it to the 2x.
[LG Optimus 2x] arvindlakra21:
Will wait for ICS upgrade.Till now the xda developers community had done an awesome job with GB.Love to fell the ICS on O2x tweaked by them:cyclops:.If LG decides to abandon O2x after delivering ICS update then no LG for me.Will discourage all possible buyers for LG products.Next device will obviously be Google nexus at least updates will be on time:laugh:.

[LG Optimus 2x] icyeye:
well... for shure next phone will be one with fastest support. ofc... avoiding Amoled tech. and only considering IPS .

nexus...well maybe but we will see.

i am still hoping that we will get this ICS update and that it will raise our O2x... so... :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] mironiko:
Galaxy Nexus, by the end of summer. May happen to hold on to O2X too, and sell it when it gets ICS, since I doubt it'll be before september.

[LG Optimus 2x] parthabhatta:
Purchased this phone with high hopes just after its launch ignoring sgs2. But then LG has not handled its the then flagship mobile FIRST DUAL CORE IN THE MOBILE WORLD effectively. Whereas Samsung has given timely updates to the contemporary and parallel SGS2, LG has made a mess of it. Not only phone, LG's PC suite is the worst I have ever handled. In fact many of us including myself bricked my phone while taking official updates. Its for all these brilliant XDA DEV developers and Paul O'Brien from MODACO we are able to get the money's worth.

Doesn't know what I will buy next but not LG. But I have seen almost all the companies making this sort of mess with one or two of their models..Greatest among those were SE Xperia X10 which even had the bootloader locked. The strong developer community here took up the challenge and everyone of XDA knows what height they took Xperia X10 upto. Its really great for us that this community still exists and that too for free gives support to so many phones. Even my Xperia x10 mini which Sony ditched after 2.1 can now run Jellybean. Thanks again to all the Devs and contributors of xda developers once again.
[LG Optimus 2x] nuvo84:
If i was about to buy a new smartphone nowadays, I would prefer the Htc one S..very nice performance, if you don't mind the

smaller screen (4.2 or 4.3, don't remember now) and the supposely 'old dualcore cpu'. I was impressed by the benchmark tests I saw, even higher than the new quad core phones.
[LG Optimus 2x] KernelCrap:
I bought myself a cheap Galaxy Nexus to replace my 1 year old O2X - it was just too tempting with the Jelly Bean release. But I will definately be looking at the next lineup supported by Google.

One thing is certain, I will never buy another phone from LG - their support and software for the O2X was a joke, I really hope they get their **** together soon (for everyone unfortunate enough to end up with one of their products).
[LG Optimus 2x] mike the mighty viking:
Has anyone considered the HUAWEI line-up??

They are fairly cheap, good hardware and screens, incredible software support and , in my modest opinion, a very attractive design.

Look at where HUAWEI are present in modern communication technology today!!

They are all over, but covered by others facade.

Now they want to come out in the open and dont want to fail.

I bought the HUAWEI Honor for my mother, 70 years of age, and I am almost envious of that device. She loves it and uses it for everything!!

Despite all the software shortcomings of LG, I consider the O4X a very worthy replacement of my O2X, if I were to replace it right now

[LG Optimus 2x] kkrraazzyy:

[LG Optimus 2x] ayqazi:
My next phone must meet as many of the following criteria as possible:

- Nothing from nVidia - for the same reason that it's so hard to get a decent port of ICS or JB to the O2x

- Nothing from Intel

- Nothing with PenTile

- Must fit in the palm of my hand - 4.7" screens are great, if you're right handed. If you're left-handed like me, then reaching those icons that are on the other side of the screen (where they are easy to reach for right-handed people) is too much of a stretch. 4.3" is about as big as I'd want.

- Nothing from Apple

- Preferably something that one of the core CyanogenMod devs uses, so I get the best support ;)

- Has an easy to unlock bootloader

- Must have a removable battery and SD card slot

As long as Samsung don't make the next Nexus (because then it will be guaranteed to use PenTile unfortuantely), I'll probably end up buying the next Nexus :)

Sony Xperia S ^^
[LG Optimus 2x] Gruiik-hic:
Samsung galaxy note 2 or maybe a new coming from Sony in May 2013. I really like the huge screen from the note and I have big hands, so it's fine.

Well I'm looking for a smartphone with big screen, powerfull cpu as long as it's not from nvidia and LG

I will keep this phone for a while. Actually I really like it except of LG's crappy support of course.

I decided to get a Nexus 7 as soon as it's released here in the EU, which shouldn't take long anymore. With a tablet I will mainly use the phone for small tasks only, and for that it's perfectly fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] hd2000:
Agree 100, when we get ics this phone will have a life still, just got my nexus 7, WOW they perfect partners
[LG Optimus 2x] Izzy Stinson:
Seriously guys? :eek:

Im planning to buy this phone but now you're all making a thread what will your next phone be?

correct me if I'm wrong, but I still consider 2x is an high end phone and is still worth to keep until next year at least
[LG Optimus 2x] Sörnäinen:
Not without updates. Tegra2 platform is not supported by most drivers, and LG is not supporting devices with updates ... at least not in decent time frames.

I would suggest shopping around for a phone with no Tegra2 or better yet no Nvidia hardware.
[LG Optimus 2x] panzerpig:
I have a question: Do you think the support for optimus 4x will be equally bad as the support for 2x?

the 4x is starting to get really cheap. I like the design, screen, size, well everyting about it :)

But if it wont be updated to JB or Lime cream pie (is that the name?), im not sure I want it..
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
its a generally good idea to stay away from lg.

yes, its a very tempting offer to get a cheap quad core phone with good specs/ design, but lg will be REALLY slow with their updates. that is IF they update it at all. I bet it will get jelly bean next yearish lol, next android version would be a tough bet to make

o2x was also a flagship device you know, but it became forgotten as soon as the next dual core by lg came out
[LG Optimus 2x] N3mesis:
The LG Optimus 2x is even without ICS still an highend device. There is no reason to switch to a 4-5Core smartphone, 1gig of ram, what the hell? Do you want to play GTA 5 on it? srsly?

At the momment I'm happy with my LG Optimus 2x, the LG 4x looks to much like a SGS2 (well LG used this "boxy" look years before Samsung but what eva.. (Prada 1)) the HTC One what ever does not look that interesting and the SGS3 looks ugly. Nexus is Samsung... so, yet I won't by or exchange my 2x.

In 2014 the Smartphone world already changed.. new updates ... new hardware what so ever. Until then my LG Optimus 2x will stay in service :)

And to be honest.. I used a LG Optimus P500 before, and even buying the P990 was well.. unneccessary, my P500 performed well, same software even better CM9 yet..
[LG Optimus 2x] Sörnäinen:
It's always good if you expect nothing much, so you won't be disappointed. I don't share your opinion, so you will save money sticking to the O2x, while I will spend money on new phone. ;)

I think you really are the winner.

But whoever wants a decent phone that's actually able to use the latest software: don't go for LG, you will always be months behind the market ... and you might stay clear of nvidia devices as well.

[LG Optimus 2x] JB83:
I'm even thinking about getting a Windows Phone 8 device. The O2x was my first Android phone and the experience with it wasn't that good thanks to LGs software. Got better with Custom Roms but I don't have the time to test and flash new Roms every week to have a working phone.

LG-P990 (I still have the phone)

LG-P920 which was a interesting phone but still problems with the SW

LG-E730 nice phone ; nice price ; SW OK ; but unfortunately only single core

LG-P940 excellent phone similar with galaxy sll no SW problems ; currently using (best LG smartphone I used til now)

Next phones : LG-P880 , LG optimus G(must have)

I will keep mine till Q2 2013, I started with the smartphones with Compaq iPaq, then sucked, moved to HTC then sucked, moved to LG then sucked... I'm definitely going to buy a Samsung, maybe a Galaxy S4... well, you get it. I freaking hope :fingers-crossed: samsung doesn't start to suck too.
[LG Optimus 2x] robege:
This.

Next, when I do want to change it, I'll try to get whatever Samsung is released. I like their support and their better hardware.
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
the only problem with samsung is the design, quite boring for my taste
[LG Optimus 2x] N3mesis:
LG Optimus G looks pretty cool. I guess if they release it 2013, the device should be fairly cheap in 2014.. the year I want to put my P990 out of service :) Design and Hardware looks well made. That they only pre-install ICS, might have something todo with google. But srsly the SU660 ICS looks very promising. They really did some work on the Software. Maybe it was worth waiting for it.
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
I am keeping my O2X till June 2014 (end of contract) at the very least. I really like the camera and the design, and at the end of the day, I don't actually have a problem using Gingerbread, it's just the eager geek in me that wants ICS badly.

If I decide to change... I might go for a Nexus or any phone with similar hardware (so that CM can do the job if need be). I will most likely stick with Android and the only other phone OS I would even look at is BlackBerry 10 (if it survives, plus it's Canadian haha).

Also, I don't like how all the high end phones are like 4.5" and larger nowadays, it's not very comfortable to hold in one hand and is also a tight fit in pockets. That's another good reason to stick with my P990 which is at the perfect 4.0" size.
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
i agree with you mate, bigger isnt essentially better, especially for smartphones, when i look at people who use the galaxy note as their phone, its quite strange really i mean u could fumble that device if u were using it on the street

[LG Optimus 2x] S0ci0:
Mine will most probably be the Sony Xperia V (if it has an unlocked / unlockable bootloader), otherwise nexus all the way
[LG Optimus 2x] Sknit:
A nexus obviously, hoping Sony as manufacturer and a qualcomm processor (optional: AMOLED-like screen)

Dreaming too hard...
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
if you buy any Sony phone and want to put custom ROMs on it, it has to be an unlocked, unbranded model. Don't ever get a subsidized carrier model. Sony goes out of its way to ensure the bootloaders are locked on carrier-locked models, and even recently released a new security MCU to prevent people from using testpoint unlocks (which were previously effective at circumventing this). At the same time Sony took down their signature server to prevent the only other unlocking method. As for September 2012 it's currently impossible to unlock bootloaders of carrier-subsidized Xperias made starting from Q2 2012.

I know this because I initially got an Xperia from my carrier, and used it for less than an hour in total, eventually trading it for the Optimus 2X several days later :)

Of course, if Sony is to manufacture the Galaxy Nexus's successor and abide by the Nexus traditions of openness, then it shouldn't be a problem - but only for this one model.

[LG Optimus 2x] Superxan:
I've just picked up the Galaxy S3, Optimus 4x HD looks really good and is tempting just the way it was when it was S2 vs O2x but after the disastrous service by LG I can safely assume, I wont be happy anymore with their false and delayed promises. Optimus 2X is a really great smartphone spec wise only to be totally let down by their makers unfortunately. Not willing to wait forever for an update any more and no more LG products for me :mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
It seems most likely I won't give up my O2X till my contract ends in mid 2014. So my next phone is... a complete mystery! Who knows, LG might have turned over a new leaf by then.

If it gets lost/stolen/broken, I'll probably use my backup HTC Desire Z which is still a great phone that I don't want to give up. If that dies too, I'll probably shop for a secondhand HTC One S or Galaxy Nexus.

One company that I definitely won't buy a phone from is Sony due to their despicable stance on bootloaders for carrier-subsidized models. I actually bought an Xperia first, then went back to my provider and switched it for the O2X.
