Xperia J should be able to handle max 32gb UHS-1 cards without problem. are you using ext4 as the 2nd partition. mine works fine, also, swap your internal first to get maximum speed.

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

if you can, please do a full factory reset on that J and immediately swap storage. then activate Link2SD, try linking everything (means tick all)

Thanks for your replay:). For me i am partition my micro sd card into 3 section, ext1, ext2 & ext3. The second partition that i have using was ext2. Can i know that the use of the different partition will cause the lag problem when openning apps?....i thought that there is not necessary to create the ext4, am i wrong?:confused:..........for the factory reset i have already done it many time using CWM recovery mod. Also i have installed the custom rom from XDA developer website. I just want to solve my lagging problem when opening apps from sd card, i hope that can be solve soon. Thanks:D
[Android Apps and Games] egingell:
It doesn't matter what your second partition is formatted as, the point is that your SD card is slow which is why you're getting lag. The process no different from running an application on Windows directly from a USB drive.

Thanks for your reply:). As you mention above, there is no problem that i using ext2 as my second partition instead of using ext4 as my second partition. Thats mean when i create the partition of sd card, doesn't matter that i create 3 or 4 partition on my sd card. Now my point is on my sd card. Does the problem of lagging will solve when i change the faster speed micro sd card for my phone?:confused:..........if there need to change micro sd card, does this type of sd card is suit for my phone?:confused:(SanDisk Extreme Pro 16GB MicroSDHC UHS-1 Flash Memory Card With Speed Up To 95MB/s- SDSDQXP-016G-X46). i currently using sony xperia J ST26i.

Hi everyone,

i want to reinstall CM today and while i'm at it plan to use Link2SD for optimal storage use.

Just a question if i understand everything right: I need to partition my external card in 2 parts, one part (the second?) will be used for linking app paths to it, right?

With the plus version, do i still need Folder Mount for data and obb-files? And if so, do they go to that same partition or do they go to the first partition on the external card?

I am not quite sure how big i should make my partitions...

EDIT: i just played around with that stuff before reflashing, so now i can do a clean install :)

Hi guys,

I've just started using this awesome application, everything is fine except for size of 2nd partition it reports - 8GB while I actually have 4.

I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Free and EXT4 + latest version of Link2SD + android 4.4 tablet.

I'm affraid that some day app may try to write in inexistent area of partition which will cause fail.

Do you have any thoughts or ideas what can it be?

I would really like to share some screens, but I can't insert links to other sites until I get 10 posts :/
[Android Apps and Games] egingell:
This app gets its partition info directly from the system and if someone or something tries to write to space that doesn't exist, it just bails - there are plenty of safeguards in place for just such an edge case.

Hello,

I have many problems with this app, which I paid directly for pro version without much tests :/

I am using miui on Redmi Note 2.

I tried to use it a while ago, put a few apps link 2 sd (I used "link 2 sd" option then select all) and then I ended up having some problem at boot, system warning, almost bootloop... so I found a fix on internet and stopped using it.

I just installed new latest version of my rom on my RMN2, and tried to give it a try again.

Now, my phone takes ages to boot everytime, I see a progress bar on boot.

Also, all the app I linked to SD are now FC.

I use a ext4 partition on my sd.

I link everything (check all option)

only on games, no system app or widget app.

even unlinking them the games still FC now...

I tried the option in link2sd (last version) to re link various stuff and recreate mount point, also tried to link dalvik... same problem still.

any help greatly appreciated. should I use app2sd app instead maybe ??

thanks!

I might have, but can't say if it was caused by Link2SD. Had a 64GB Class 10 card go into "write protected" on the EXT4 partition and couldn't get it back. The FAT 32 partition was perfectly fine.

I could not mount or change the write protect EXT4 on WIn7 or Ubuntu. Would not reformat either.

Eventually gave up & re-installed w/ a 32GB. Been running OK since August 2015.

The mount script was changed to disallow access to the second position except by the system. Check the script in /etc/init.d/#link2sd, /etc/install-recovery.sh, or /system/bin/debuggerd, for gid=#### and uid=####. Change whatever the numbers are to 1023 and reboot.

The first and 3rd are modified, but like I said, it didn't make any difference. All I changed/added:

mount -t ext4 -o rw[B][I],uid=1023,gid=1023,umask=133,dmask=0002[/I][/B] /dev/block/vold/179:66 /data/sdext2 1>>$LOG 2>>$LOG

If you remove the uid,gid,umask,dmask and change mmcblk0p19 to mmcblk1p2 you have the original mount script. 11link2sd and debuggerd are similar.

Hi,

I use link2SD since about one year and it saved my device :)

Recently, my second xt4 partition dedicated to link2sd was full so i moved and resized it with gparted on my xubuntu computer.

After that, some of my linked apps where not installed anymore, and more bad, i can't restore them with titanium or install them throught Google play ! I think these apps or the ones i linked "all" (apk, data, etc..).

When i browse my internal sd card with esexplorer i can see their Android\Data\ folders but apps icons are greyed and i can't delete these folders. It seems to be a "permission folder" pb ?

So my questions are :

What can i do to reinstall my missing apps ?

Is it really possible to resize a "link2sd" partition ? If yes, did i used the good method ? If not, what is the good method ?

Since i use link2sd, i continue to use titanium to backup my apps. Is there anything special to do or is link2sd transparent for titanium ? Same questions if i restore titanium backup, should it works ?

Thanks

However, after I reboot I get the message "Android is upgrading" for all of the apps I moved and they (mostly) fail to run after reboot.

SD Card cant delete partitions

Hi. Recently tried this app on an old Samsung Epic 4g that I flash clockwork onto and got Cyanogenmod 11 on. I used a 16 gig sd card. Used mini partition wizard to create two partitions, one fat32 and the other ext 2.

Got everything working

Im having a problem however. The phone was acting strange. So i decided to restart. Tried to reformat in mini partition wizard but couldn't. Tried formatting through windows and cmd but couldnt either. Tried reformatting through phone and then through AParted and neither could either (couldnt even unmount). Aparted said SD Card didnt mount correctly.

Went into adb and ran this command

# e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

and got

"Error reading block 5038083 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan."

Pretty sure SD Card isnt dead. Link2SD works fine now and can read the second partition, I just wanna undo it. It seems Link2SD Write Protected it or something. Because everytime i delete the partitions or delete files on the part of the SD Card I can access, it just rebuilds itself.

Same with Mini Partition Wizard, it says it succeded in deleting and formatting but in the partitions are still there. Need help

Hi

I found, apart from partition linking error that is solvable via a symlink the first time, another MAJOR issue with Marshmellow (at least in my RR rom): the structure of installed packages is changed, ART cache for data packages are not more in /data/dalvik-cache (system apps still do), but every cache file is in a "oat" subdir in each /data/app dirs, as a .odex file.

So, link2sd ignores them and does not link cache files more ... :(

Warning: If you're like me and just use this app to move apps to the sdcard (not link them) and are on Marshmallow, don't do it. It will only break the app being moved.

I liked that I could use this app to quickly move multiple apps at once. Can't do that anymore, but all is not lost, one can still use this to quickly access the built-in App Info page ("Manage" from L2SD's menu), then go to Storage and move it from there.

As a result of this, however, is that one can no longer move apps not deemed movable by their respective devs.
