Does folder mount work for the LGMS323 that has emulated external storage from internal? I have not been able to find the right command to mount my second partition on this phone..I'm not even sure what exactly my 1st partition is mounting as..its so confusing to me with the emulated storage and all especially when they name it SD card and stuff like that lol..im sorta noobish when it comes to these things but i learn fast..anyone with this phone have the same problem or kno the command to enter to manually mount the 2nd partition and maybe modify it to automount manually?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bichofelix:
Don't mess with it, messing with your partitions could give you a hard brick. If you're a noob, stay away until someone more experienced has a solid guide.

PS internal is mounted differently than user data.

Your best bet is mounting an ext4 partition on your extSD as userdata (Dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata)

Extsd is mounted as a vold partition.

But, again, this information is at your own risk. Mount, df, cat proc/partitions are all commands to figure out what's what if typed into a terminal

OK TY very much, I wasn't planning on messing with my internal partitions at all :D I'm not to that skill level yet, so TY for the mounting script for my external SD..Is this for use with link2SD with a 2 partitioned card? if so do I have to name the ext4 partition so i can make sure it mounts with that command..I have no problem getting the FAT32 partition to mount and my EXT partition is recognized by link2SD when i look at the storage space area it just says it is not mounted and the remaking of the mount script comes up with the error of invalid argument.

PS i just tried (Dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata) in terminal emulator to mount the ext4 partition on my SD with no luck i recieved a can't execute: permission denied.. is there a certain permission i must modify first? and if so is it in platform.xml? I can post the output of mount or df or any other command if this will help in any way. Thanks!

I went into the phone files or what ever and fixed the write to sd card from what i understand the 4.4.2 has restrictions aginst read write i did as guides told me and still nothing .. in apps 2 sd. Is not supported by your divice. BecUse your divice has a primary external storage it says .. :crying:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maverick69420:
Yes 4.4.2 has restrictions against writing apps to the SD card but rooting gets around those restrictions. Plug your SD card back into your computer and look at what kind of partitions is on it. For the first partition it should be Primary FAT32, this is your external storage partition. The second should be Primary ext2,3,or4; this is your linked partition. Make sure neither of them are logical.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl00DxR3D:
Your phone is not going to work like normal meaning you click move to SD card and it actually goes there..since our phone has an internal emulated SD card ( a fake SD card that is tricking programs to install to it) you have to get the SD card with the 2 partitions and make sure both partitions get mounted with Link2SD, it will ask when u open it what system your 2nd partition is and you want to enter int hat correctly and cross fingers that it actually mounts it..then using Link2SD go through the programs and click on the ones you want to move and scroll down to where it says "Create Link" the program cannot move the entire app to SD card like a normal system does but you can think of it sorta like a desktop icon ( clicking the button finds and executes the larger program from another spot) This is the ONLY way you can do it with Link2SD and with this phone..because if u click on the program and click move to SD without linking with Link2SD it wont actually go to your physical card....You can check if the 2nd partition mounted by going to Link2SD program and clicking the top right 3 dots then clicking storage info and look for "SD Card 2nd Part." it should say under it /data/sdext2 and show how much free space..if it is not mounted corectly it will say not mounted..Hope this helps!

I have been having a big problem with my larger 32GB memory card t gives me an error invalid arguement when trying to create the mount script no matter how i partition and format..even wiped all to 0s and re did it all..so i tried my small 1GB SD card to see if its the phone or the SD card and the 1GB worked easy as pie..so its not my partitioning or the phone..just wish i could figure out what the problem is.

Ok so i got the game taped out witch is kinda big file and yea ! I still got my 1.3g on phone so it worked after i bought the link2sd pluss ;) my plan was to go out and get that 32g sd card. And now i hear its not working for you :0 so im hoping you figure it out.. please let us know if its your 32g card that is broke or just that this phone wont let you xo it with the 32g. Cuz 2g is nothing .. i did it like 5 times last night the guide says to do the 2nd portition to 512 mb. But i did it to like 950 mg and it seemed to work just fine so i got like 1g .. when i tried the 512mb i could hardly download anything to it.. also.. i heard with the 32g you got to write the 2nd partition to fat32 also.. that might work for you if you havent already tried it.. and also what seemed to work for e when i had my prob with the 2g i just deleted the link2sd and pluss restarted my phone run a scan clean up removed its files and then reinstall. Link2sd. Finaly tho now atlest i can download more then 1 big game! But only 2:/ please keep us updated on the. 32G if u can get it to work cuz i really need more then 1g of extra.

To use link2sd, you will need to format your SD card with two partitions. One FAT32 and one Ext 2/3/4 partition. You will then need to go to the Play Store and install "SDFix" to allow your SD card to be written to like we could back in Android 4.3. Then install Link2SD from the play store and begin moving and linking apps to the SD card.
