there would besides old 'system-data' be old app-data too.

or wouldn't automatically the app-data from pc not be copied to the ext4-partition if they are equal ore newer there already?

I don't realy know whether I moved system-data to ext_card.

Sorry I live on the other side of the continent :angel:

I would have to look ....I usually use my ROM gappless ...I will check if it is update to google Now ....

I think I mentioned in earlier post ....Swapper was updated last on September 2010...There were no phones with integrated emmc and emmc were always reffered to external SD card ...with Nexus S/Gingerbread ,google bought emmc as internal memory ...

tl;dr

swapper is incapable of handling modern phones ...It will reformat the internal SD since /dev/block/mmcblk0px is internal SD (which swapper thinks is external SD due to the api ..) and /dev/block/mmcblk1px is external SD(which swapper is incapable of handling ....

I had mixed results with USB jig ...It can get you to factory download mode if it is unharmed ....or else you will require J-tag ...

Lost All Applications

Hi ,

I have followed the step by step process, everything went success, i have created 10gb data partition, 3.5 gb ext4 partition for apps and around 1.5gb for swap.

After that i have linked it using link2sd moved around 1gb apps everything went success.

When i tried for swap method it said function is not implemented after that all my applications are lost.

Now if i open link2sd app, it says Mount script cannot be created.

Mount: Invalid argument.

ext4 may not supported on your device. Try Fat32 on the second partition.

Please help me how can i resolve this issue ....:(:(:(:(:(

Most probably your SD card is corrupted and all the data is lost...

make the partition again and 1.5 GB of swap is USELESS...

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Phone Model: Galxy Note N7000

OS: Ultimate JB

Sd Card: Samsung 16gb Class 6

I some how installed mounts2sd app and got the data back . now link2sd is not working,

As u suggested 1.5 GB of swap is useless, could you please let me know what size would be best and how can i get that space back to normal Storage.

Also could you suggest how much app's storage is enough and which one is better mounts2sd or link2sd.

None

I have used the OG Galaxy Note and using swap is not recommended at all !!It will just be bottleneck !

Repartition the SD card to "recover the space ...

mount2SD or linkSD both use same/similar script ...

Use whatever works for you ...Simple :) ...

How do you make your FAT32 readable/writable by Windows after you partition the card?

It's working fine on my phone with Link2SD but can't access it through Windows which is quite a pain in the butt, need to transfer a lot of files and don't want to do it through USB.

it is probably due to a bad quality sd card. my stock sd card also died, but if you buy a little more expensive one from a reliable brand like sandisk or pny, the life of the sd card should be pretty stable.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] droidsnarf:
Some bat drain is expected

If you've done everything correctly there will be some additional power use as data swapping on the extSD uses the extra power.

On the other hand, if the bat drain is severe it might be a different kind of problem entirely.

I use a 64gb card that I cut into two partitions and my tab works just fine.

This question has been bugging me for a while. Say I want to swap my sd card with another card. How to unmount the link2sd partition safely?

As I know android's settings>storage>unmount sd card only unmounts the first partition.

How to unmount the second partition too? Shutdown then swap the sd card may be an obvious answer, but I didn't want to wait the phone to boot. It takes ages :/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm...make Nandroid backup then transfer the backup to your other SD card (using PC) then turn off your phone and insert the new SD into your phone...boot into recovery and restore ext partition only...that should do the trick...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fundre:
Sorry I didn't mention this explicitly; I mean only swap temporarily. Only to view files etc, then return to original sd card. I have a few sd cards lying around. Our phone is hotswappable, right?

Sorry again :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
LoL there no way you can swap SD if you have ext parititions and linux swap...you have to reboot if you want to use different SD card...on SD card that don't have ext partitions and linux swap that can be swap without rebooting your phone...

by the way "I didn't want to wait the phone to boot. It takes ages" how long did you mean by that? it just take a minutes or two to boot...if it longer than that then its your kernel and rom fault...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fundre:
It's the kernel boot logo that take a long time to finish. ROM boot time (bootanim until lock screen) itself is fast. I'm still using mike's first alpha kitkat build anyway. Too lazy to do full flash to new partition layout :)

edit: kernel boot time is 2.30 minute, ROM is 1 minute.

The pic you used did not show the PC hard drive on it like mine did and there was no addressing this possibility. This was my first time using mini wizard so it's difficult to know for certain what you are looking at. The whole program is just jumbled with little icons and check sins legalese and it looks like you know sixth-grader put it together and I'm not trying to insult at all I'm just saying it was not user-friendly in that it made it clear how to do the things you're suggesting, maybe I needed it to be at the six grade level but I have done my fair share of rooting and installing custom ROM's, I rooted my S4 I 545 I installed safe strap on it and know I'm not an idiot is far as that goes, I know how to get into titanium and freeze apps. I know my way around a little bit but I found out the hard way that some of you guys are poor guides through these processes. My laptop is wiped clean, no OS, nothing. I would warn others be very cautious as to who you follow or take advice from. I've lost everything and it's devastated me. I know I did my share of mistakes. I didn't have my stuff backed up and I followed the advice of a stranger without question. Lesson learned. Just be careful cause **** can get sideways in a hurry! :mad:

drive C, D and maybe E are basically belong to your hard drive and drive F and so on are removable disk...even if you unable to recognized it, you must able to see how much storage capacity for each drive...

even if the name is different at least you can tell the different in storage size between both disc....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mshawn3:
Because the program is so cluttered and unorganized with terrible indications as to what does what. And the size shown for disk 1 was smaller than disc 2 which showed approx. 14gb total space.

Anyone ??

Sony Xperia J X(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Link2SD is for you to move your apk/dalvik-cache/lib files to your ext2 partition...for a devices that have smaller phone memory, link2sd help them alot by moving it...swapp2 is just an apps to activate swap (if you have create linux swap on you SD)....

all stock kernel doesn't have swap support...so you need to unlock the phone bootloader and flash custom kernel that support swap if you want to use linux swap on you devices....that is the use of bootloader unlock...

Hi eveybody, Its my first post

I am using Live With Walkman WT19i ROM: Stock Rom, OS: Android Version 4.0.4 Build: 4.1.B.0.587

SD Card is 8GB Class 10

I have some question,

1.Is my device with current rom supports EXT4 for link2sd??

2.Currently I am using 1GB EXT2 partition and its almost full!! :cowboy::cowboy: can I use 2GB partition as 2nd partition for linking application??

3.After 2-3days when I reboot my phone its shows me android is updating application & takes a few minutes at startup then shows me alert that phone memory is low!! But I always keep up to 220MB free internal memory, then I have to restart 4-5 times then it not shows me that again & internal memory shows again up to 220MB, how to solve this problem??

4. I flashed my phone to current stock rom what I got from internet (same ROM also in this forum) but before flashing my phone showed me that model number was WT19a (in settings>about), currently showing WT19i (in settings>about), also WT19a printed in my device's back ( I mean where IMEI numer & other information printed ) can anybody give me the link of WT19a Stock ROM Build 4.1.B.0.587??

5.Which custom rom is stable & perfect for WT19i/WT19a?? (Please give me the download link)

6.is it possible to backup link2sd 2nd partition?? currently I am planning to buy 16GB class 10 sd card
