[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rawintellect:
Ok I've gotten a few PMs so I figured I'd make a thread about how to use foldermount with link2sd.

1. download foldermount from google play here.

2. download link2sd from google play here.

3. to use link2sd you'll need to create a 2nd partition (and make it primary. ext4 is recommended) on your sdcard.

***Note I've made my second partition 10gb you can make it smaller according to your taste.

this guide shows how to do this nicely.

4. once you've done this you now need to move over all the apk files you can to the sdcard. open link2sd, select menu > multiselect > select all > actions > create link. This will move all the apk files it can to the ext4 partition you just made.

5. now lets focus on the data. this is the biggest culprit of space. open foldermount. click the + sign to create a new entry.

6. name the new entry something you'll recognize. I'll use GTA3 for example. I named my entry GTA3.

7. Select the source destination. This is the folder you wish to move data FROM. using the example of gta3 this translates to /emulated/0/android/obb/com.rockstar.gta3.

8. Now select the destination. This is the folder on the sdcard we wish to move the huge data file to. using the example of GTA3 it translates to: /storage/extSDcard/gta3. press the check mark. it will ask you if you wish to move the files. say yes.

9. select the "pin icon" to the right of the entry you just made. this will activate the mount point for the data. fooling the system into thinking you still have that data on the internal sdcard.

10. That's it. Rinse repeat for all apps or games you have installed. typically huge game data is stored in the /storage/sdcard0/android directory. either the /obb or the /data directories beneath that.

The result? Typically if you haven't implemented this proceedure after the Android OS, Samsung bloatware, sprint bloatware, you'll have about 9gb of free space to use for installing apps. I have full use of my micro sdcard now. I have about 10gb of data used on it and 39gb free on the main partition. I used about 830mb of data moving the apk files to the second partition using link2sd. "internal sdcard" is nearly empty and I retain full use of all my apps and games on my sdcard. Please see my attached screenshot that confirms this.

I hope this helps some people. :)

*** Warning!!!!! creating a 2nd partition on your sdcard will wipe the contents from it!!!! Please back up the contents of your sdcard prior to doing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*** FORCE CLOSE ERRORS

Are you getting force close errors after linking an app to your 2nd partition? I have a solution that worked for me.

When I upgraded to MJA I lost the ability to link apps to my ext4 partition. After linking them they would force close when I tried to open them. Strangely no one else was reporting this problem. I Googled high and low. I found no solutions. I then thought about it and wondered if it would work if I changed the file system from ext4 to something else. Well ext2 didn't work. neither did ext3. So I tried FAT32. Bingo! It worked! So I'm now functioning fully again on MJA.

What could be causing this problem? I'm thinking the custom kernel I use isn't configured to read ext2,3,or 4. I think that's the reason other's aren't reporting this as a problem. They aren't using the kernel I'm using with MJA and link2sd.

In short,

if apps are force closing after linking them to your sdcard, then delete your second partition and redefine it with FAT32

. It should solve your problem.
