Hey guys,
i just want to know whether this whole thing of link2sd can be done in other mobiles also(samsung galaxy pop)......if this can be done with all the mobiles...i think it will help a lot of android users who are getting bugged from low memory icon popping on the notification bar as soon as they install a medium sized game or app..Plz reply asap..

Why r u caring about others?
They already know it.
Moreover phones like galaxy pop have got a custom kernel and all those advanced things then why they won't know abt link2sd ?

exactly!
in-fact we here are trying to learn and port already build up things
even wondered why XDA has so many less devices in catalogue? there exists devs which are developing like from 15-20 + yrs ! hence every now and then things keep on coming up if source is available .
also if these guys already have a k.source code they must have done many tweaks on the device, for them Link2sd is a kid's play !

Hi friend, after installing all instructed apps in your tutorial I was very happy as I saw a good increase in my phone internal memory ( free memory about 130 Mb ) but now I am facing again low memory as it showing free memory about 60 Mb. Link2sd app shows only superuser & link2sd in internal storage while almost 47 apps includig yahoo messanger with video plugin are linked 2 sd. Can anyone suggest me where I am making a mistake ? ( NOTE: NO DALVIK CACHE FILE AT THE MOMENT )

ninadchaudhari

This problem does arise with Link2sd as it does create system links for each app installed hence you install many apps it does matter !
the problem with Link2sd is that it does not link private data either

But for getting more from ur phone just do these steps
1.) open Link2sd and click on link Dalvik
2.) similar way link library
3.) get app like cachemate
4.) clear out the cache
5.) reboot to recovery or use Titanium backup and clear Dalvik
if you want a bit more :
5.) you can use Titanium backup and link system updates to System partition in meu !

NOTE :
these methods do help in increasing the space but for a drastic increase there is a technique called DTA2sd is used ! this is like complete data folder is linked once on sd
but not recommended as you do not control which app goes to Sd !

I have an 32GB microSD card... i formated using the GPartED, as i could not see the option in recovery mode to format.
I created first 28GB fat32 partition and second of 2GB ext3 partition.. formatted and rebooted system.
Installed Link2SD but when i starts it ask what is your secondary partition, on selecting ext3 it gives error

Mount Script error

Mount script cannot be created
mount : No such device
ext3 may not be supported on your device. Try FAT32 on the second partition

My phone is Micromax A75 2.3.4

helpppp

ninadchaudhari

Well it is a matter of fact that this is highly kernel specific !
I have written this for A70 which supports ext3 !
for resolving you can try these steps :
1.) Reboot and try also i will recommend [Quick Reboot] from the Link2SD app
2.) if the above option does not work try formatting ti ext2
3.) If the option fails too then u r out of luck but i won't think ext2 will not get mounted !!
4.) But ya if u want sure shot solution format the second partition also in FAT32 then it will surely work but just that doing so .... [ i have written in the Original Post ! read it from there ]

maheshyd

No success with option 1, 2,
and it ran the script for fat32 second partition...

i had read your full post and followed that same way..

ninadchaudhari

gr8 then Enjoy with fat32 btw
what is ur device kernel ?
Just go to Settings > Phone information
there u will see Kernel info
just type the entire stuff written here

nil22

Yup,
No problems !
This happens when ur second partition is not mounted ...

Go to Link2sd,
then select quick reboot 2-3 times
They will apear again

akee

hi ninad
did every thing as per your tutorial and everything is working fine.thankyou
just have one question to ask, i have selected the autolink option but whenever i install a new app the system memory also decreases.

ninadchaudhari

Well ,
i think, you meant data memory and not system memory !
Yup, this may happen !
instead of auto linking , i have observed, if you install App to internal memory then Link some apps in bunch manually later, it helps !!

akee

hey ninad link2sd was working properly on the stock rom
but after i flashed to hybridV3 getting the error
"Mount script cannot be created.
Mount: Device or resource busy
ext3 may not be supported on your device. Try Fat32 on the second partition"

Plz solve this issue..

mastermind1024

Try restart..
If that don't help then try factory reset..
even that also don't solve problem then reflash the rom..
It happened sometimes to me also n solved by reflashing.

hey my partitioned space is full and i can't save more apps on it... i don't know how but my dalvik-cache got linked to it... actually there r no apps in d partition and i don't know what it has....i want to format d partition... will formatting sdcard work??
data wipe ,installing a new rom didnt work..but tht was d reason it got created...
plz help!!

ninadchaudhari

well try a simple option

Go to Link2sd app , then select options then clean second partition

btw , how did you guess that dalvik got linked

sourru250

when i go for cleaning second partition...it says...only 70mb is unused...
and d unused files are all dalvik ones...and i have some 170mb free space on my internal memory..
iam flashing d rom again... hope it helps..

ninadchaudhari

Well flashing won't help

Do one thing, Go to Recovery, go to mounts and then go to format sd-ext
I think you are on A70

Btw, i had to say , go to link2sd, then select "clear second partition"

sourru250

i did that and phone got switched off after bootanimation...

sourru250

okay...phone started... i cleared sd-ext, nd installed d rom again...i still have some 330mb in sdext... on ubuntu i can c d drive connected...but has no folders in it...

ninadchaudhari

Well Do post the screen

sourru250

okay i have a new problem, my mobile was switched off after a battery drain.., now on starting it all my apps r gone...is it coz of link2sd or coz of froyo sandwich???
nd also i cant create mount scripts of ext3... ths wer yesterdays screenshots when i was in stock rom...

sourru250

i cannot mount sd-ext ... nd as per my observation that i had dalvik cache on sd-ext... all my apps r gone,.. wht should i do?

ninadchaudhari

ya that's fine ...
Do a simple quick reboot from link2sd>options>quick reboot
that should solve the problem

sourru250

'quick reboot' didn't work...
but i found a new solution....
downloaded software called "mini tool partition" on pc...
formatted d partition and everything is fine now...
