Is it possible to have an option to disable sd-ext (format) checking, in the next version (whenever that comes)?

The app works super flawlessly for me...symlinks are perfect...

But one of the roms I'm using has a memory hack pre-implemented, which I cant disable as its configured along with the framework, so I can't remove the memory hack without breaking down the rom completely...

But I still use Link2sd as its an awesome and fast loading app manager...

And the sd-ext format selection screen keeps coming after every app restart...

Is it possible to disable that?

On my current rom, I just wish to use it as an app manager...

Thank you for this awesome app!

Been using it since months!

FYI

Titanium Backup has a feature to reclaim orphaned app data. I just tried it and recovered 25mb+ on my precious internal / data storage.

Maybe something similar would work well for Link2SD.

hello ,

i m new to this app ,i successfully partitioned my 8 GB SD card with 2 GB internal and remaining 6 GB as secondary partition ( is this correct combination ? ) . what is the difference between linking and moving applications to SD card ? i don't find any reduction or change in app size when i link , but size is reducing when i move it to SD . :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] GJSmith3rd:
FYI

ROM Manager downloads section under Octavio uploads area has CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 for Ideos U8150 which properly backs up and restores ext-sd partition used by Link2SD and others so swapping ROMs is effortless.

Hi, just a quick question, I have on my xperia apps like Gmail and Facebook from the start, the fact I can't move them manually to SD means they are system apps? So with this do I have to convert them to user apps before moving them to SD?

Yes system app will never move to sd.. you have to uninstall it and install again from download play market.

I am running CM 7.2(Stable) on HTC Wildfire(Buzz) with ext3 partiton(I am not using any script right now).

Do I need to install everything once again following a clean install of ROM and link2sd app or should I just install link2sd,choose the apps I want to link to sd-ex and reboot the phone ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] pdario:
Each time I turn the phone off, it shows the "low storage" warning for minutes and during this time is slow and terminates several processes.

I think that's because at startup something is created on /data and then moved by Link2SD to sd-ext. Could this be?

If this is the case, how can I know what are the files that get created? I mean... It could be a big part of this problem comes from an app I rarely use and I could decide to remove it.

Tnx

No, that info is just an example of what happens at boot. You can't do nothing to avoid it. Just don't link the lib files like me.
[Android Apps and Games] a.cid:
A clean install would be recommendable...

You could try linking your apps first...

If it works (don't see reason for it to go wrong), well n good...

If it doesn't, go the clean install route (assuming clean install includes a reflash and data wipe)...

I partitioned my sd card to ext3 using cwm5.. I get "unable to mount" when i select ext3 during mount script option of link2sd. But, when i select ext2, it gets mounted..

Will mounting an ext3 as an ext2 partition, corrupt linked apps in the long run??.. I mean to say is there any compatibilty or stability issue if link2sd mounts an ext3 partition as ext2 format ??
[Android Apps and Games] pepoluan:
ext3 is basically ext2+journaling. So, no, it will not be corrupted. But when it's mounted by another system as ext3, you'll have to endure a *very* long fsck...

Better to copy the contents of the partition to another ext{2,3,4} volume, recreate the partition as ext2, then restore the files.

-- Galaxy W + DXKL1 + CM9 + xda --
[Android Apps and Games] Kierrok:
No. Perhaps your ROM doesn't support ext3. I prefer ext2 over ext3.
[Android Apps and Games] Lurker0:
Stock Android 2.2, the second partition is ext3, all works almost OK. After each reboot, or after turning the device on, the dalvik cache files are re-created, and I have to manually launch Link2SD and re-link the dalvik cache. The option to re-link it (if required) on boot is activated but it seems it does not work. No problem with libs: they remain linked after reboots.

So how could I have dex files being linked to SD after reboot without manual actions?

Another question: why Link2SD does not allow to move to SD libs and dexes of ths system applications, i.e. those AKP's are in /system/apps? I see no a big differences between system and installed by user apps here! I think it can be allowed, and it's up to the user to decide which system app can be linked and which is not. Just like "force move to SD" which overrides developer's settings.
[Android Apps and Games] optimusodd:
Why is it showing wrong storage information about "cache partition" ?

Terminal emulator shows that only 1MB memory is being used while Link2sd-storage information shows that 242 MB of memory is being used.

Why ?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Kierrok:
Does that match with /data memory used? My CM 7.2 mounts /cache/download on /data partition and Lin2SD shows /cache and /data the same memory used.
[Android Apps and Games] optimusodd:
Yep,that matches with internal memory(/data).Why is that ?

Even Freespace shows that the space used by cache is just 1MB.What does this "/cache/download" mean ?I don't understand:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Gokilz:
Thank You Very Much
[Android Apps and Games] Kierrok:
/cache/download is the place where (at least) the apks you download from the market are temporary stored. And in your case, and mine, that folder is mounted on the /data partition so it "belongs" to /data and not to /cache.

So Link2SD shows all the used space in /data and not just the space used by the download folder.
[Android Apps and Games] optimusodd:
Sorry,I didn't get you.:rolleyes:If you navigate to /cache/download you will see that there is no file in that folder.Then why the hell it's showing that 22% of cache partition is being used.That's a false information.
[Android Apps and Games] Kierrok:
Again: because Link2SD checks for the used space of the partition where the download folder is. In our case it's /data. Yes, it should report only the download folder used space. Yes, it's a bug, a minor one.
[Android Apps and Games] optimusodd:
Ah okay,thanks for making things clear.

I have a Motorola Droid 1 running Froyo and it seems the latest link2sd is corrupting data as the previous version I had installed on July 4, 2012 worked fine but when I downloaded the latest one, Titanium Backup would run and exit back to link2sd on it's own and then when I power off the phone and turn it back on, the phone just shows the droid eye and never stops. The phone boots up fine without the MicroSD card. Other MicroSD cards work just fine. I tried a test by buying a new 16GB MicroSD card and the same thing basically happened, running Titanium Backup would work fine but after an hour or so, the next time I run Titanium Backup, it exits to Link2SD and then power off and power on results in the boot that never finishes. If I format the first primary partition, it doesn't work either. If I completely repartition the card again in either the 1 FAT32 for the entire card or 2 FAT32 Primary partitions, everything will work correctly again. It seems like when I view the card using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Editition, the 16GB card would show the entire drive as one partition of 14.91GB which is the correct size except it is using the MicroSD card as one partition instead of 2 partitions. However, Drive Snapshot can see the 2nd partition and image the files. Not sure if it messed up the partition table or not. I have used Link2SD since the very beginning and they all worked fine.

Problem seems to happen with 2.2.3 but not with 2.2.1, with 2.2.1, the only problem I have is occassionally Link2SD will make the sd2ext partition read-only and it will say write failed if I try to link, only way to fix it is to reboot. Have not tried 2.2.2 yet.
[Android Apps and Games] bzby:
When the free space on the partition DATA less than ~ 2 Mb - program Link2SD v2.2.3 does not work.

The button "Filter" is not working and not working auto clean up dalvik-cache when smartphone rebooting.

This is very important because the android 4.0.3, 4.0.4 on reboot often performs "update android" and "optimization of applications." In the resulting - folder dalvik-cache overflows, and free space a partition DATA decreases to zero.

"write: No space left on device" warning

Forget all that, I just found my problem, System is full, it shows 0% Free, Total: 225 MB, Used: 225 MB Free: 36,00KB... How can I clean it up?

-------------------------------------------------

After searching over and over in google and on this thread, I haven't found a solution for this problem, so I will give you all the information I can

I have a LG-E510f, with Android 2.3.4, rooted, I had a 8gb SD card with Link2SD running without problem, until one day I tried to clean it with SDMaid and my phone freezed (it was the first time this happened, I have used SDMaid before without problem), and then the link with the second partition totally failed (it was a ext2 partition, about 800mb).

After many attempts to make it work again, everything failed, so I assumed the SD got damaged or something, cause after I deleted the ext2 partition, I couldn't make a second partition again, due to i/o erros on the SD.

Just for the record, I did a factory reset on my phone while attempting to make link2sd work again, with no luck, getting the "No space left on device" message when trying to create the mount scripts.

So I was sure the SD was failing because it would get unmounted sometimes, but surface tests with MiniTool Partition Wizard were okay, and chkdisk showed no errors, but I still couldn't make a second partition anymore.

So just today, I bought a new SD card, 16gb, hoping this would be the cure for my problem. And then I created a 1024MB ext 2 partition (primary). So I backed up with Titanium Backup, changed the SD and then did a factory reset, to start it fresh.

As soon as the reset was done, I downloaded Link2SD from the market and I opened it, and I was getting the same error message "write: No space left on device", and then I noticed the 2nd partition wasn't even shown on storage info... I rebooted the device, unmounted and mounted the SD but nothing changed.

So, I took of the SD, inserted back in my PC and I deleted the partition and I created again, but this time around 850MB, and I inserted it again on my phone, and this time the partition appeared on storage info, showing /data/sdext2 as the location, but I still coulnd't create the mount scripts, I was still getting the same message.

--------------------------------------------

Short version:

-It was working correctly with my old 8gb SDcard

-One day it stopped working, showing "write: No space left on device"

-Bought a new 16gb SDcard hoping that would fix it

-Still getting the "write: No space left on device" warning, but the partition is shown there
[Android Apps and Games] tobbbie:
Great you found it yourself :) Link2SD needs the mount script linked from the system partition and just a little tiny space on there for that. If you had it working already, you could just "convert" one app from a "system-app" to a "user-app" but this is a dead end here.

So you need to remove some bloatware from the system partition to free up space. I have no advice however on how to do that for your device. Or you may find some other non-app files (like example media or other alike) which you could just move out until Link2SD has done its link job. For that you need Root access and a file manager that can RW remount the system partition.

good luck!
[Android Apps and Games] d12unk13astard:
^ glad im not the only one griping about this problem, its frustating coming from a phone that link2sd worked on(g2x) then finding out it wont work for the epic 4g touch.. Most likely because of the way our phones are partitioned. Though im also thinking it could be the lack of ext 2/3/4 support on our roms and/or kernels.

Right you are. I let go of this project about a month ago because I couldn't get this to work. Honestly I did not check

whether the SD card was good or not because I got it from a reliable store ... I just checked the SD for reasons unrelated

to link2SD and it appears to be only 3.7GB instead of 32GB. So this is probably the reason I couldn't get this to work and

Thanks for the thread

I reached the limit of apps install-able in my Nexus One (cyanogenmode 7.2) and I found your thread about Link2sd very helpful

I tried many others solution without success loosing many hours!

The only thing I would like to add It's that Link2sd in my phone don't recognize the sd-ext2 (never mounted)

I found a way to bypass this problem by installing mount2sd (with clockwork recovery because It not check .Zip) Ra-recovery (not allow It)

I changed with Rom manager the recovery app. I installed after that Link2sd and work perfectly (after rebooting) !

Because my backups are made with Ra-recovery, I re-install It again at the end.

ext or fat filesystem

Hi to all!

By my Galaxy ace s5830i with stockROM and Rafael Baugis Kernel, does not works Link2sd when the second partition of the sd card is an ext2/ext3/ext4 file system.

But it works perfectly with fat32.

Any ideas? Or should i leave it, when it works with fat32?

thx...

and sorry for my english.
[Android Apps and Games] molitar:
With a Galaxy S3 it works perfectly with EXT3 partition.. but if I use EXT4 partition I think it confuses it with the EXT4 partition of the internal for the phone and does not work. So you want to use an EXT partition that the phone does not use to keep it from getting confused. When I tried 4 it always failed but went to 3 and it worked perfectly.

Have someone been successful using Link2SD on a tablet?

In my case, the tablet is Ainol Novo 7 Crystal with stock (but rooted) firmware. It mounts external SD as /dev/block/cardblksd. 1st partition is cardblksd0, 2nd partition is cardblksd1.

The strangest thing has been happening:

* If I format 2nd partition as ext2 (1st is FAT32), the stockROM insists on mounting the 2nd partition instead of the 1st

* If I format both partitions as FAT32, the stockROM properly mounts the 1st partition, but Link2SD can't see the 2nd partition...

If anyone can help me, I'd be very grateful.

Problems at boot with Link2SD on Moto XT530

Hi, maybe somebody already posted about this but I wasn't able to find any info on the thread.

I'm using Link2SD on a Motorola XT530 with 2.3.5 and it works fine apart at boot time. When the system boots, the internal memory gets filled up and the phone enters into the "free memory or emergency calls only" mode. The only way to get it working is to clean up some memory until I get to around 8MB free and then start Link2SD manually and relink the apps.

I think that the system starts to unpack libs or recreating dalvik caches before Link2SD kicks in, the internal memory gets full to the point that Link2SD is not able to do its job.

It's a pain on the neck :( Any suggestion on how to fix it? I already tried to set "relink lib files at boot option" as suggested without any success

[Android Apps and Games] optimusodd:
Don't move data.Moving data to sd-ext means less stability and decrease in performance.
[Android Apps and Games] pepoluan:
But what if we're ready to accept the consequence?

To prevent people from willy-nilly moving the data directories, the option can be hidden until the user spelunked into Link2SD's settings to enable it. And everytime the checkbox for data linking is checked, pop up two or three warnings before actually checking the checkbox.

-- GT-I8150 + DXKL1 + CM9b3 + xda --
[Android Apps and Games] optimusodd:
Dude,I am not the developer of this script so ask bakpinar to include those options.:p

As i said,moving data to sd-ext means less stability and decrease in performance.It could cause lag on low-speed SD cards.

If you want to play with the fire you are free to do that but don't come back ranting if something get screwed(and worst case scenario-crashing of sd-card).;)
[Android Apps and Games] tobbbie:
I would also like to see an option here, best would be to permit linking dedicated items (at least directories) in the \data\<app>\ hierarchy. You would need to pick those items which are read only (a lot for games) and could so move that out - even without affecting SDcard lifetime.

I know that this is growing the scope of link2sd much beyond current strategy, but usefulness would likewise grow for low memory devices (which are still made to be able selling high priced ones - with little added value).

To supervise which files are unchanged, per application a list of files would need to be stored and then compared (on dedicated request only) if they had changed. Only such items should be proposed for moving/linking, yet still keep the option just to move/link all.

I can still keep up with 420MB on my device without moving data, but sometimes you need to cleanup data still.
