I see. Probably not compatible without modification then. What rom are you using?
Unfortunately, I don't have any device that runs Lollipop, so at this time I am not sure how to proceed to come up with a solution. If a general solution (one that works for most devices) won't work, then an approach that targets the boot image (likely more device specific) might be necessary.
Too bad I don't have an answer for you right now. I'll look into this challenge when I have some free time.
The problem might have something to do with lollipop using art runtime. I tried using art runtime with carbon ROM and your SD hack wouldn't work with it. Hope this helpsOK not a prob i appreciate your efforts I'm on stock LG lollipop rom
Hmm... crm701 mentioned in the past that ART worked (with hroark13's D505-based rom, I think), so I've never looked into compatibility with ART in general. I'll definitely put that on the to-do list (or rather, "to-check" list).The problem might have something to do with lollipop using art runtime.

Well it may have also been a problem with the ROM too cause when I switched to art there were only about 10 icons in the app drawer after I rebooted.Hmm... crm701 mentioned in the past that ART worked (with hroark13's D505-based rom, I think), so I've never looked into compatibility with ART in general.

Probably a selinux issue like it was with KK before. The swap path error thing is probably something else, if you were using a swap partition before. For a CM rom, maybe try the init.d version. Not sure that the rom's init.d support would be trouble-free though if selinux is in full enforcing mode.Imma try it on cm 12 see if it works I'm on stock LG ROM Right now
To better understand.... Can you please specify for what rom or device its this...Here is how I mounted external SD as internal storage. It's pretty stable for a month now. The only thing is I don't know how to mount internal SD or a second partition as external.
1. Root the phone
2. Install TWRP to backup
3. Rename /system/bin/sdcard to /system/bin/sdcard.disable
4. Keep a backup copy of vold.fstab
5. Change vold.fstab
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host
6. Reboot

Yes you should... And thank you for bringing help. Everything counts.Thanks for help from some guys in other forums, finally found a way to mount external SD card as well. I'll start a new thread for this in case it could help someone
Well , It depends on what class you have . Take out the micro SD card and look for a number inside a sd. Then post back. It would be better to use anything above a Class four micro sdcard.My hats off to JVene for starting this out, and to the other devs for running with it. It's such a relief to have the extra space -- no more juggling a handful of apps in a constant install/uninstall routine.
I got this installed using the copy-install method, not using the init.d script. I think I didn't know what I was doing when I first tried this using init.d, causing the ext4 partition to "disappear." After several hours of reading...voila!
I do have a question, though, about simultaneous reads and writes. I've actually had to redo the installation because when I first got it running and was installing apps out of the Play store, the phone crashed and the partition again "disappeared." A few apps were in queue to download and install and when I went to open another app, my phone was slipped the Black Spot. I'm assuming the reads interfered with the writes, and the bleeps with the blips, causing the crash. My SD Card is a SanDisk "Ultra," so it's supposed to have at least a little pep, but is this truly the limitation? Is the card still too slow to be able to heavily multitask?
I see SanDisk now has the "Extreme Pro" for people who are extremely professional, and soon they're going to come out with a Ludicrous and Ludicrous Pro Plus Plus Pro that's said to go Plaid. Is this the cure, or is it the phone, or is it altogether unavoidable?
Thanks, fellers.

Edit: Oh and if you don't mind testing something . Partition at least a gigabyte of storage for a format called Linux Swap . It should make it a bit faster. This goes to anyone who's willing to try this
Well, I did try to put most if not all of the relevant info (and files) in my own thread. Since that thread is much shorter, it hopefully wouldn't take several hours of reading.I got this installed using the copy-install method, not using the init.d script.
