I believe the recommended size for the ext2 is below 1400 mb... My installation didnt work at first, so I did a full format on the sd and then I partioned... Rebooted the phone and then accessed Link2SD where it told me, that it was working now and all that remained was to reboot the phone... I did that and now it works like a charm! Truly an amazing app!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] teapea:
Another thumbs up for this app - however if we're all using this then I can only assume it's because we have quite a lot of apps installed and were running out of space on the internal memory.... with quite a few apps installed we get quite a lot of updates.

This means unlinking, market fixing, updating, re-linking, rebooting and market fixing again - which is a PITA.

It makes it worse when I can't remember which apps I've moved and which apps I've not when I see the updates in the market. It also means auto-updates in the market have a potential to update an app before we've unlinked it from the SD card.

Hopefully the update issue will be addressed (and I don't know how) in a future release.

Is JIT actually needed to install this?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
Hi,

I used to install app2sd, but recently I have had a lot of issue with it.

Link2sd is better? If I decide to uninstall it, will it be easy to do?

Thank you
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rikirix:
yes, it's much better and very easy to install; non need of commands it's just an apk.

@komatoes: i don't think so, even if i have jit installed.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
Ok, thanks. And if I want to uninstall link2sd, will I have just to uninstall the apk as I do for the others?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
Confirmed. I don't have JIT and have installed Link2SD running smooth.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
This app is terrific!!! You are my hero!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
I have a problem with link2sd. When I used it with angry birds and fruit ninja they disappeared. I have to download them again. Why? There's a size limit?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sur1k:
Firstly, you need to remove all the links (to get your apps back to phone memory).

Then just uninstall link2SD like any other app.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rikirix:
once you make the link the icon disappear; you only have to restart the phone and they are there again but on the sd
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sahilahuja:
can anyone please tell me the size of ext2 for 2GB sd card????
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
I did it. It works perfectly with every other apps, but with Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja don't. I restarted the phone 3 or 4 times but nothing. I used the tool Market fix but nothing happened. I had to download them again :(

It's not a big deal because link2sd is perfect with the others, but these 2 apps are the bigger ones and I will prefer to link them to the sdcard to have more space in my phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
The size is up to you. How much space do you need for music o photo on your sd?

You can create a 600mb ext2 partition or more if you don't need space on sd
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rikirix:
strange because i also linked angry birds and after reboot works perfectly from SD......
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
mmm I tried to reinstall Angry Birds and linked it again, but nothing. Same thing for Fruit Ninja and PowerAMP. Really weird :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:
Hmmn.. Strange, I move Angry Bird (13mb+) to SD and it works perfectly. you could try to Move 1 app at a time. then reboot. It will disappear on your home screen and app drawer but after a reboot it will come back to the app drawer though you have to re-add the shortcut on your homescreen. or maybe not, Im using Launcher Pro and I need to re-add it.

But bottom line, It work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:
I also move PowerAMP and all the downloaded games and application to SD and it work perfectly. With exception of widget and services(Its not they are not working, I just want them on my phone memory since most of them sizing not more than 100kb). I haven't tried to move Fruit Ninja to SD, I have it uninstall-ed, Since i will not enjoy it on my x10 mini.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
I'm using Launcher Pro too. I already tried to linked only angry birds but no icon on the drawer. I found the link name com.rovio.angrybirds on the app list in x10 mini settings but no icon.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
I tried 6 times but now it works xD Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sur1k:
You need to restart the phone after linking.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
I always restart the phone after linking but sometimes it doesn't work. I have to link only the lighter apps.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] antyohos:
same here with me, if i have also seen this thread before :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] darrie1:
Thank you for this:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hehe13:
216 views [as of feb 05] and 9 thanks - no fair... =[[

can you provide me the link to the original post where you get this, and do you think this would work for other units, not just for x10 mini pro... thanks man!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
Updated version 1.3.0 uploaded in the original thread and in the market. It has few more interesting features.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] safrajs:
Excellent

Works really well.

Installed the new version (1.3) in rooted mini pro (2.1.1.A.0.6).

Many Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lalich:
Thank you , work perfectly
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
hmm, this looks good and i'd love to try it but maybe some other time (when my phone screws up again). and i hate the fact that i have to reboot my phone everytime i link a file.

but as i'm doing some reading on the previous thread, it's good that this has an "undo" button as opposed to app2sd.

btw, this only works on ext2?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] BomBoz:
I have trouble while use partition magic..

on PC its work but when i un mount from pc the phone identified that my sd card not formated..

sory for my bad english
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] farsight73:
Great to read this break-thru... Unfortunately I'm already running app2sd.

Now question:

1: my app2sd is running in ext3 and work great. Possible to create another ext2 then install this link2sd?

2: will it run app2sd and link2sd at the same time? So my upcoming apps to install here ext2.

3: or better just stay with app2sd since its already running fine.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hannyst:
It works really great !!!

Thanks !
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lawgone:
Question about this. What will happen to the cache? I mean how would this app compete with the DC2SD of APP2SD?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
Upgraded again to 1.3.1 with some bugfixes.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] amsmd:
android newbie heeds help!

hi everyone..

newbie in android here..

was wonderin' if someone could help me by posting the link on

Link2SD (working)..

TIA!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
Go to first page of the thread. There you will find the app posted. Download and install after creating ext2 partition in your card. If you are new and need more clarification click on "Link2SD" in my signature. It wil take you to the original thread. Read the entire thread (preferably) carefully - build up confidence - and then play with this app.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sirpam:
thanks for your hard work, I always had problems with app2sd on x10 mini.

link2sd run lengths better.

thanks thanks thanks :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] BomBoz:
i love app2sd but i had some trouble if i use it..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] BomBoz:
its still work for latest fw u20i?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] seppdaruler:
Yes, it works with latest firmware on u20i.:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lawgone:
UP! I wanna know.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
^^ it can't because afaik, this only works for apps that are downloaded from the market or back-up apks that you are saved in your memory card.

with Link2SD, you'll probably have 130MB of phone memory (same with app2sd) but with app2sd / dc2sd, your phone's memory would be roughly 180MB.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lawgone:
hmmm so technically speaking, the app2sd with dc2sd is better in terms of freeing the internal memory. ok so i think i'm gonna stay with what i have right now. thanks.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
I installed the 1.4.1 version and now it doesn't work anymore. When I tap on Create link it starts creating and then stucks in loop. I tapped on "create link" 5 minutes ago and it's still saying "creating link"
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bakpinar:
Try with the latest 1.4.2 version.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
The latest version 1.4.2 of Link2SD is capable of moving DC to SD.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
Man people on here can be real space junkies... how much do you need and for what exactly?

is there really any point in having internal memory if your not going to use it? Link2SD is Better than apps2Sd in every way! leave important stuff and widgets on the internal memory that Sony was nice eneough to give you and keep all your big memory hungry games on SD.. hrmmmm... just like Android 2.2 ;) (if you take your SD card out your phone will still be quite usable)

No matter what you might think.. having nothing on internal is not going to speed up your phone.. or is it just so you can brag about how much free space you have? I hear the chicks really dig it.. :p

Just poking a bit of fun at the obsession with freeing up internal memory.. no personal jabs intended. :)

Kiwi
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Soulj4h:
Have to say this works for me and works great. I just had to resize the partition instead of formatting it, then restarting the phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
The 1.4.2 version works fine!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
Good one;), agree fully with you. BTW can anybody comment on how low we can go with the phone memory? Anything less than 10mb is not recommended I think.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] avlopp:
If I already have App2sd working properly on my phone, is it worth changing to Link2sd?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:
Link2SD and APP2SD have few differences its a matter of choice, what to choose.

here's a few information as far as i know.

APP2SD support ext3 and ext4, Link2SD only Support ext2.

App2SD transfer the whole application to SD, link2sd transfer apk only.

Link2sd can transfer dalvik cache to sd, i don't know if app2sd do it.

In Link2SD, you need to reboot your phone everytime you link an app in android 2.1 and lower.

In Link2SD you need to hit the "fix market", if an application(s) is linked.

Link2SD does not allow system application to be linked, this is a good thing, since you are sure you can use your phone even you pop-out the SD card or if it become corrupted.

widgets can be linked without issues.(based on my experience, eg beautiful wdgets, widgetsoid, etc.).

Link2SD have more straight forward and hassle free installation, or its just me. I have couple of problem enabling app2sd. so based again on my experience, this is the best with regards to ease and feature.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] avlopp:
Thanks for the quick summary :) I think I'll stick with app2sd since I'm not experiencing any trouble.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] carryo:
Your instructions don't say if I need to ROOT the phone first: will this work without rooting?

Has anyone tried yet, and do you know it would mess things up if I tried to install without rooting?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hansip87:
Well anything that comes from this place almost always needs your phone to be rooted.. ;) if not, literally you can't do anything with this apk because busybox won't be able to copied to system folder, which is the most essential utility for this kinda app..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rikirix:
Update in first post.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:
Does it add performance when using ext3 or ext4?

thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rikirix:
i don't think so however i didn't test.....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] davebyone:
Good!!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:
ok, I thought I need to re-partition my sdcard, now that I will not gain any benefits.. then I'll stick with ext2.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
since the new version supports ext3, i'll try this then .. :)

===

update: it says that ext3 is supported on the latest version but when i selected ext3, it say that there's no partition found.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
Hi

Link2sd worked perfectly until today. I switched on my phone and it went on loop. So I had to repartition my sdcard. But after I linked the first app it stucked on loop again :S

After the second repartition it seems to work, but...what happened? Maybe it was the app I linked...is it possible?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:
What type of partition did you use? ext2 or higher?.. Did you link your home screen to sdcard?.. I have no problem with widgets but for home screen its different, I think..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] raiderkilo:
On Phone have I home LauncherPro,widgets,Gentle alarm,Tasker,Lookout,Widget Locker and Quickdesk,all other stuf is on SD card.Partition ext2
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
Hi

I use an ext2 partition. I didn't link my homescreen. I prefer having it on internal storage.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mangoman:
That was easy,-

and appbrain market still see the linked programs as installed.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
I tried to clean the cache on the phone but link2sd deleted important apps! I couldn't call, send messange or use the browser. Fix the option!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:
hmmm.. thats strange.. can you tell us what you did?. for example you link-dalvik... or something.. on menu. sorry, I just want to assess your problem.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:
I don't think that link2sd have that option, since link2sd does not allow system application to be modified. for the same reason. what application did you use to clean the cache?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
I tried to clean the cache with the link2sd option! But after the operation I couldn't open messages or make a call. I rebooted the phone but it was stuck in the boot screen.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:
do you mean the "Clean up the 2nd partition" or the "Clean up the dalvik-cache".. I haven't seen them before, just not, I might have unupdated copy back then. I think they are meant to clean up the 2nd partition or dalvik cache, regardless if there is a linked application to it. if that whats the software developer intends to do.. it might be a valid bug.

I haven't tried those option though...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
Clean up the 2nd partition works perfectly, but Clean up the dalvik-cache made a mess with the phone :S
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:
So I guess we should stay away from that option.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:
wow.. that link2sd have this new algorithm that you dont have to reboot. link2sd become more hassle and trouble free than app2sd... now we can link our application without the need for reboot...

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] gsronald:
According to the question I ask, I think I would like to standardize the "marking scheme"

1. Overall Performance

2. Boot up time

3. Battery Performance

4. Buggy?

5. Compatibility?

6. Internal memory after initial setup?

Thanks everybody! Just doing the research which one is the best.

I have used MIUI, CTM, etc... Want to get more information before I changed to another ROM.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DannyDroid:
I've only used Miui as I've never had any reason to change.

Overall Performance:

Seeing as it's BETA software, the performance all round is much, much better then stock.

Boot up time:

This isn't really an issue as I never turn my phone off. Unlikely computers phones are meant to be on 24/7 so boot time is moot in my eyes.

Battery Performance:

With every new kernel and update, I find my battery lasting that little bit longer. I can get around 1.5-2 days out of mine (as Miui has the option to turn off things / underclock).

Buggy:

For BETA software things break from time to time, although the things that do break aren't that important (Tether and the Theme Downloader mainly).

Compatibility:

What do you mean?

Internal memory after initial setup?

With a fair few apps I have ~30MB left.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] gemini002:
cronos or iceandfire are the two best roms hands down...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bijixda:
Stock 2.2 is the best now imho
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] norberto877:
froyomod 2.4
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] xenosapien213:
I am using APAC (asia-pacific leak) since Friday, and it is absolutely brilliant - near perfect, I´d say.

By now you can also apply some themes, and the battery life is great!

The only problem I am personally having is that the app "LEDs Hack" doesn´t seem to be working at all anymore and I haven´t found anything else to turn of the Softkey-Backlights while in Dock Mode... once that is solved, I´d have the perfect ROM :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] takota6:
Project elite

Used cyanogen for about 6 mo but alot of fc.went to sorcery for about a month, it looked great and performance was good but my cell reception was in the toilet.Now project elite since christmas and I have fallen in love with my droid again.they have the kernall clocked at 1100 ewhich will run warm after 1/2 hour so i clock to 900.status cool and stable plus you can eryn your browser as an iphone (which comes in handy for netflix)..keep that droid around it still keeps up or beats your friends phone....ps screw motorola for wanting to lock their bootloader.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] w3dig:
MIUI is okay for me
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] arttree:
CyanogenMod 6.1.2 for Milestone is my choice, tone of customise fine tune your milestone and good support fast bugs fixed won my heart :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Silentz0r:
It also works for me. I installed this "app2ext" and worked amazing. 6 HD games, 5 Normal Games, 30 Apps+ And i still have 80mb free :D!

The only thing i don't like is the fact that MIUI launcher doesn't have scrollable widgets compatibility :(.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Caz666:
+ 1 for CM6...plus kabaldan has done so much for us milestone users and he still helps out.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lmf04:
CyanogenMod 6.1.2 is my choice, fast fixes for bugs and like MIUI, after installing a ton of apps (over 30 as well) I stil have over 80mb free.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] andreju:
I've been on stock Eclair most of the time and it of course bugged me a lot. Tried Froyomod 2.2 and had the fast battery drain issue, now I'm using FroyoMod 2.4 and seems to be *much* better now.

I'd like to see the stock 2.2, but...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] shreyas99:
The bset ROM I've yet tried has to be the APAC leak, the latest nandroid. Its incredible. Kicks Nexus ass, bigtyme !

1. Overall Performance : Incredible. There is no other way to explain this.

2. Boot up time : NOt much of an issue, but if ur still interested, its almost equivalent to other roms available.

3. Battery Performance : The best Ive yet seen after trying every mod available, excet shadowmod. It gives me 2.5 days till discharge. For the milestone, thats a colossal feat.

4. Buggy : Not at all. No bugs found yet. Been 2 weeks.

5. Compatibility : Everything runs. Without applying external updates, or software hacks.

6. Internal memory after initial setup : 158MB. But most of my apps are on SD, So i Still get about 102 MB free on my phone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] alijs:
FroyoMod 2.4c & G.O.T 2.2.1
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] enzolight:
_ MIUI is good for me now!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] JCeppli:
Now i'm using Froyomod 2.4, but a brazilian guy Edgar Castro launched new shadowmod version based on gingerbread.

I will install today.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mohitrocks:
I would also say CM6 is the best in terms of performance. Just to add on (NOT MEANING TO TAKE OVER THIS THREAD, just a suggestion), could we add how much mb of ram is available after boot? (E.g you could use advanced task killer, or memory booster just to see how much is available (BEFORE KILLING APPS) )
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] andreju:
Hmph. I guess I'll have to do a major cleanup ;)

38MB after boot.
[Droid Incredible General] gtdrew:
Headphones are being recognized as Headsets on my Incredible. I have tried multiple pairs of headphones. Flashing back to a stock rooted rom solves the problem. Really liked the ROM but it disables the phone mic when connected in my car.

Mod: CyanogenMod 6.1.0-Inc

Baseband: 2.15.00.07.28

Kernel:2.6.32.17-cyanogenmod #27

Has anyone else had this problem or know a solution?
[Droid Incredible General] Jes7er:
Just kidding didn't read your post fully haha sorry
[Droid Incredible General] gtdrew:
Just flashed CM7 nightly build #17 and it does the same thing. Uggh. I really like the functionality of the Cyanogen Roms. They just make sense. Going back to sense is going to suck.

Really all I need out of a ROM is landscape home screens, stable, and good battery life. Everything else I can live with. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
Senseless rom with a new launcher Yay??

I use OMFGB and it knows that headphones are headphones
[Droid Incredible General] gtdrew:
Dling SR Athena now. That with ADW or whatever it is and I should be good to go.
[Droid Incredible General] gtdrew:
Well even with the Sky Raider Athena ROM which runs on a sense kernel the damn thing still recognizes headphones as a headset. I'm at a loss. With the stock rooted rom and stock kernel it works flawlessly.
[Droid Incredible General] gtdrew:
Well back to running a stock rooted ROM with ADW launcher.

My phone is a slug and the battery lasts half as long :(

Can I run another sense kernel with this ROM. Do I just flash the kernel zip and hope for the best?
[Droid Incredible General] ProTekk:
Yes, you can run another kernel on a stock ROM. You need to download the desired kernel (find one that is Sense based since you're using a stock ROM). Boot into recovery and flash the zip and you're good to go.
[Droid Incredible General] gtdrew:
Thanks. Trying it now to see if it is the kernel that is causing the problem.
