Root Link2sd PLUS and Showbox

[daveintexas8]

Hi there. Here's the deal....

I have rooted my Exhibit successfully and partitioned my SD card with Aparted. I have got Link2sd working, and have got everything linked to my 2nd partition on the SD card.

What I really want to do is to get Showbox and those large files moved over to the SD card, of course.

I have Showbox linked, but it still seems to be eating up the space on my internal storage.

I upgraded to Link2sd Plus because I figured that maybe it was the data files that needed to be moved.

So what I'm wondering is am I making this harder than it should be?

Link2sd Plus says that in order to link those data files, I have to use a non-FAT file system. So do I have to reformat the whole SD disk, then link everything again? And what file system should I choose. I thought that when I created the first partition, somewhere it told me to use FAT-32.

Thanks for the help. My phone is "almost" set up perfect now.

If you want easier use, get a custom rom.

Well I don't know what showbox is but it could be cache files or something taking up space still.

When you partition your SD card for link2sd you need 2 different partitions. You still need the main fat 32 partition to still be able to transfer stuff to your sd card like pictures and music, and then the 2nd partition should be ext3 or ext4. I recommend ext4.
