I have followed a few guides for app2sd.
But i cannot understand them. The english doesn't make much sense.
Can anybody that speaks GOOD english help me with this?
Thanks
I can give u a much better tut for App2SD for Eclair:
Here we go.
1. Connect ur phone via debbuging, connect ur SDcard Backup all data from ur SDcard to PC.
2. Download this 'Home' edition.
3. Install programm and search for ur SDcard.
4. Rightclick on ur partition, click remove. Be careful: check twice if its ur SDcard from Phone
5. Rightclick on ur new partition, select 'create" and create a new partition with these settings:
FAT32, primiary and ca 70% of space from ur card.
Now u got 70% (1,70 GB from 2 GB SD storage) and a 30% none format partition.
Repeat step 5 with those 30% but choose Ext2.
6. Click on "Apply" on the corner to the topper left.
7. Reboot ur Phone and check if ur Phone starts with SD card.
8. Check for installed BusyBox partition. If there is none: install BusyBox
9. Download the App2sd.zip, extract on ur SD file
example path: X:\App2SD\app2sd.sh
10. Download from market 'ScriptMe' and install on ur Phone.
11. Open ScriptMe, choose 'app2sd.sh', check "with root privilege" and "Execute script"
12. wait a long time for reboot. WARNING: dont forcequit ScriptMe while extract the script. if u do it, ur SDcard will **** bricks. Choose "Wait for programm" if there is any PopUp.
13. Done.
Edit: tested on 2.1 Quarx, Europe Open, Baltic Black
other alternative 2 partition ur sdcard: (assume u have clockwork recovery)
-backup ur sdcard
-install rom manager
-choose manual override
-reboot phone (sometimes u need to reinstall the rom manager)
-in rom manager, choose Partition SD Card (the max partition is 512 mb, but i thing it's more than enough), u can also make swap partition (i chose 32 mb just in case)
adv: faster, no need to connect to pc, ext3 partition (for those with more than class 4 sdcard, i think and with the newest kernel)
dis: u need to backup ur sdcard, max size only 512 mb..

do i wipe, delete or format particion?

Delete. After this u should have a gray bar with none information but the size of ur SDcard.
sorry for bad english ... i stoped on step 8. Check for installed BusyBox partition. If there is none: install BusyBox, i have titanium backup do i need to instal busybox ? if i must vher do i install it, or how to instalit? on phone or comp? if on phon where?

At the end of all things u did u should restore your datas to your sdcard.
So... this sentence explain itself: u should install BusyBox _before_ u restore your data.
In fact: u need an installed version BusyBox on your device. Doesn't matter if u got a titanium backup or not. U can check for an installed BusyBox when u open the programm BusyBox
i did it and it reboted my phon anda al app were deleted and it says loading widgets on one screen and it doesent see sd card wtf is that

First: Its normal that all homescreensettings are gone.

hmm, did u use card reader, or from your phone to make the partition?
if u use or phone, try read the sdcard from pc/laptop via card reader. if it's readable, make sure u put drive letter in fat32 partition, and no drive letter in ext2/3 partition.
i made partitions from my phone, in my very first time of trying, i've got the sdcard error (or something like that), i chose to restore factory default, n it said that my sdcard is not formatted, so i formatted, then it back to normal (with no data of course)...
hope this can help you.
i did it from my phone, the prob is that i dont have adapter so i cant put my card intoo my laptop
i went to titanium and all i see overview
root access-- OK( busybox 1.16.0 from app)
.

.
data directory :/data
external storage : not mounted
backup directory : not avaible
internal: 146 MB
SD card: 0 B
SD card(a2sd: 256mb (19.3MB free)
i thought i dont have bussy box but i have, but before i could use titanium for uninstaling my apps now i cant i dont get it, adn my phone dont reed my sd card

Just a stupid question: could it be that u forgot to disconnect ur SDcard from PC?
'Not mounted' is the standard message for a stable USB-connection between ur PC and SDcard (device).
i just used my card in other phone and it is working, i dont get it. my phone cant read it, can i do smtg in my mobile so it can read it? and when i use phone with usb it dont connect, it cant find device
All drivers are installed?
Just reflash ur device and take a look whats happen.

Can anyone explain to me how i would setup apps2sd as i have no idea how i would set it up.
i think this way will be a "fail safe" way to do it. but it will/could take an extra install of a ROM.
Back up whole SD-card to example a PC.
install ẂildPuzzleROM
Start Rom Manager and choose partition SD-card and something similar.
Choose size of the ext-partition for example 512mb and you DONT need a swap.
You should now have an ext-partition and the phone should reboot automatic.
Now you can choose to upload all files you wanna flash to a folder on sd-card and reinstall rom and flash apps2sd files.
Hope this helps.
Regards Daniel
ps. their are many ways to make a partition on a sd-card, but this way should work for all users on what ever system and hardware they have.

If you have an ext partition on your SD, then you should have flashed the apps2sd package, you had rebooted your phone and it TOOK SO MUCH TIME, well apps2sd did move every apps to SD at this moment, apps2sd doesn't allow to choose between phone's and SD memory, that's the way froyo handle this feature.

Nandroid backup => format SD card with an ext partition (rom manager) => do a full wipe => flash v6 + apps2sd + move dalvik cache, reboot and wait a long moment before the lockscreen shows up. Voila ! Stable v6 with apps2sd !

Yes Actually this method is called app2sd+ to prevent our internal memory from full capacity ..The work it do is fake the system by move ur app to another partition on Ur Sd Card..So u have to format ur Sd as 2 partition First is fat32 Second is ext2 . Ext2 is the linuk file format.. If u Need Extra information just search this key word App2sd+ .. And about 2.3.4 as I Already answered we need to wait for modified boot.IMF to make it execute App2sd+ Script .At boot Time...

maybe you have used a rom without root permission. make sure that your rom supports app2sd. Secondly partition your sd card with the help of gparted livecd or you can use the AD recovery's build-in tools to partition your sd card. then flash a rom supporting app2sd. here cm7 recommded,the extra space will be recognized automatically. if you use miui rom, pls make sure that your partition format is ext3. after flashing miui, open terminal-1.su-2.a2sd reinstall-3.reboot automatically-4.open terminal again-5.su-6.a2sd zipalign-7.a2sd cachesd-8.reboot automatically-9.just install whatever you want.

This makes me believe that App2sd+ is working, how else is there only 22 mb free? What is the partition size you made?
Things you can do:
Clear Cache of apps
Clear the downloadfile-#.apk in /Cache/ (you need a root explorer to do this)
Backup apps, delete apps, restore apps.
Another thing to do is to start from scratch, reflash your rom, using a backup program to backup your apps. Completly clear caches, and wipe sd card.
DOING THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE AND LOSE ALL SETTINGS
Rommanager is only available for cLK, make sure you have cLK, or phone will boot-loop.

I think that i don't have luck..
i reinstall the my HD2 with this ROM: DFT_LEO_NAND_Android.rar
Another (new) problem... my Android working good... but i don't see my SD...
I seen that SD only at boot if i boot in "MASS STORAGE"
Do you know what i really understand?
I have enough hours loosed... i need my telephone working...
I have been looking for something like this for a while. The flipout lacks internal memory and it soon becomes a problem if you want to have a good set of apps.
Here's what you'll need:
1. Rooted Flipout (I won't post instructions to this step, look for "Universal AndRoot")
2. Partitioned SD card (see below for instructions), depending on the method, you might need a phone with CWM to do this and ADB installed on your PC.
3. Download Link2SD from Market
So here are the steps:
1. Partition your SD card. There are many ways to do it. I will post two ways:
Use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
My PC didn't like this tool and I wasn't able to use it. However, it should be quite easy, you just need to put your card in a card reader and build two partitions with the following characteristic:
First partition will be your main card partition, should be of the whole card size minus the extended partition you want to create
Second partition should also be fat32 (link2sd didn't like ext2 nor ext3 on the flipout, it only worked with fat32)
Use CWM. I personally didn't want to install it on the Flipout, so I used a Samsung Epic 4G for the steps. You should be able to use any phone with CWM to do it, put your SD card in the phone with CWM and boot into recovery:
adb shell reboot recovery
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 (open partition manager for SD card)
print (prints partition table)
Here you should have one partition table, starting at some point and ending at some point like 7969 if your card has 8GB. Take note of the End value as you'll need it.
rm 1 (deletes partition 1, this will erase all data on the SD card)
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7425 (creates a new primary partition, the second number should be the value you took note of in the last step minus the size in MB of your desired extended partition).
mkpartfs primary fat32 7425 7937 (creates the new partition for applications, starting at the end of the last partition and ending on the max size of the card. In this case I used fat32 as I couldn't do it with ext3 nor ext2, link2sd didn't like this format on the flipout for some reason).
The partitions are created and you should be able to go to the next step.
3. Reboot your flipout with the partitioned SD card, make sure to have link2sd installed.
4. Open link2sd, it will take a while, ask for root permissions (always accept and make sure to have Remember checked).
5. It will ask for the partition type, select fat32. If you are asked to reboot your phone you have everything setup, otherway please post your problem.
6. Once rebooted, open link2sd again and go to settings and configure. I don't like having all applications automatically linked as widgets and this kind of apps can fail if they are on the SD, so I have this setting unchecked. However this is a personal decision.
7. To move an app to the card, hold your finger on it and when the menu appears, press link and confirm.
8. To move an app from the card to the phone, hold on it and press unlink, check everything and wait for the app to be returned.
Further Tips:
Avoid moving apps to the SD that are use widgets or that run all the time like: messenger apps, alarm clocks, climate widgets, etc. I tried one or two without any failure but I feel they could be less reliable this way.
Don't remove your SD card if the phone is turned on, now it has a partition that is used by the system, if you remove it you could have issues, I would only remove the card with the phone turned off completely and not boot without the card.
I made some tests connecting the USB cable to the PC and using the phone in storage mode, the PC could see the primary SD card partition and the phone could still work with apps on the second partition, so it seems to be stable in this sense.
If you need to switch to another card, you would have to setup the new card in the same way; I don't know yet if backing up the second partition and restoring it to the new card will work. If your data is critical use some SW like Titanium backup to back up the apps that are linked, remove them completely and restore when you have the new card setup.
So, this has worked for me like a charm, the phone really seems stable and I have so far like 150MB of apps on the SD card. No need to have a newer Android version, it seems very stable.
Disclaimer:
Any process that involves rooting your phone and partitioning can potentially cause data loss and/or bricking your phone. Do this only if you are 100% sure of what you're doing, I will take no responsibility for any data loss / damage caused by this process.
If you have any questions I will be glad to help.
Hi great post above
I rooted my phone and I partitioned my sd card into 2 partitions , both FAT32 primary 3.7GB and when i open link2sd and select either ext 2 or ext 3 I get an error message
"Mount scrip error
Mount scripe cannot be created.
mount: no such device
ext 2 may not be supported on your device. Try FAt32 on the second partition"
Has anyone come accross this problem before ?
Hi,
When you open link2sd,scroll down and select fat32. I tried formatting the second partition with ext2 and ext3 wit no luck. Fat32 is working just fine.
Regards
Hi Thanks a million that worked great
thanks
hi i tried wat u told but after some time link2sd is showing failure that "cannot link readonly" can u help me
Your guide works great. Finally I can have all apps I like to have installed at once.

I can tell some experiences with backups.
Before I had blur stock rom with link2sd and changed to deblur central europe rom. After reinstalling link2sd all apps where still gone.
And even after restoring all user apps with titanium backup they were restored to phone memory. I had relink them with link2sd manually and to batch restore with titanium backup twice because it broke down in the middle because phone memory was full.
Unfortunately link2sd is no magically way to have them backed up apps and to be independent from the rom. Titanium backup is still needed but that is fine. Nothing seams broken after restore with TI and relink with link2sd.
lovdanie, it's strange, had no issues with the tested phone yet, I partitioned 500mb and it has already like 200-250MB of apps linked and is working great, no issues.
One thing that could have happened is that you removed the SD card. Are you sure the SD card hasn't been touched or formatted?
bagers, it's not really a magical solution, it's just a way to get more space on a phone that lacks internal memory...

Just for some info.. under windoze try the "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" makes partitions like charm..
Guys any one have links for disk partitioners? minitool is not a freeware as u have t buy it when you apply the partition. any one know a way roubnd this? please help
miniProBhashi,
That's why I always use CWM to partition the SD card. As I don't have it on the Bllur, I put the card on another phone I have with CWM and it always works... Maybe if you have a linux PC you could do the same thing...

Help
Hi, I just partitioned my SD card. When I open the Link2SD app, it did prompt me to select the file system of the SD card's second partion, however, after I select FAT32/FAT16, Link2SD could not gain root access, there's no pop-up of indicating me to select "Allow" on the Superuser Request. Now wot do I do. Please help, thank you...
Well, I would start checking the SuperUser app to see if there is some exception in there. If you don't have it, check out if your phone is rooted by installing some other app that requires root access.
If not, check the root method for your phone.
If it's the Motorola Flipout, download version 1.6.1 from this thread, install it and run it:

Hi,
I would try on a Galaxy Ace forum to check for the rooting process and validate if your phone is really rooted. When you are 100% sure you have root you can come back to this post and we can check if there's some other issue...

Hi,
Have seen similar problems when using ext filesystems. Are you 100% sure that the secondary partition on the sd card is fat32? It really should work on the flipout without any issues.
Remember that you need:
* Rooted flipout
* Partitioned sd card (secondary partition must be fat32)
* Link2sd opened and allowed to use root permission
If you are sure you did everything stated above, we can look at it with more detail. What tool did you use to partition the sd card?
root permission
hi,
i have installed Link2SD from Market to my lg optimus p500 os,gingerbird2.3.3,when i stared to move app to sd it asks root permission.
so pls guid me to activate root permission in my device

It doesn't make much sense to use Link2SD if you're on Gingerbread as your OS natively can copy apps to the SD card (at least some of them). Just go to "Manage Applications", and select the app you want to copy, there should be an option to "Move to SD"...
If you still have some good reason to use Link2SD, you should first look in a forum for your specific device to find out how to obtain root (I cannot help because it varies for each device)... Once you have root access, I can help you out with this process.
Regards

When I partitioned mine I used GParted Live. It's a Linux-based boot disk, but you don't really have to know anything about Linux to use it. Just download the .ISO and burn a CD, pop it in your PC and boot off it. Its free, graphical (not command line) and relatively easy to use. There is also an option there to set it up to boot live off a USB drive, but that's a bit more involved to set up.
gparted . sourceforge . net / livecd.php (sorry, it won't let me directly post links yet)
If you can burn a .ISO to a CD, you can probably figure it out. Just make sure you pay attention to which disk you are partitioning (look at the sizes) so you don't accidentally re-partition the hard drive in your PC.
EDIT: If there is anything you need to back up off the SD card, I would do that in Windows first, and then copy it back using Windows after. You CAN do this with GParted Live but there would be additional steps to mount / unmount the Windows partition on the PC that you want to copy to.
the bootstrapped recovery seems to be having a partitioning tool.
Maybe im wrong, haven't used it though
WARNING
This will format your SD Card and you will lose all data on it! Make a backup first!
WHY
No limit of file size
Safer filesystem
IMPORTANT
If you use SuperSU, disable "Mount namespace separation"
You need to have busybox installed!
TWRP recovery will automatically detect the filesystem and work as before.
Everything works as before. That includes MTP, Stock File Manager, Storage settings.
HOWTO
Install SuperSU:
If you have root, just download from play store, select Normal Installation. Wait. Go to MIUI Security, Root permissions, and enable SuperSU. Go back to SuperSU, select Normal Installation again.
If you don't have root, you need to install from recovery, with twrp.
Install Busybox from Google Play, then start the app, and press install.
Install Redmi Note 2 Tool from Google Play.
Start the app, give root persmissions.
In MIUI security, enable Autostart and Root for Redmi Note 2 Tool.
If you only want to use the SD Card functions without the CPU tweaks make sure Set On Boot and modify touchboost is unticked.
Make sure you have a backup of every important data on your SD.
Select Other from the left menu, and press Format SD as ext4, if you haven't done it manually before.
Tick Mount SD as ext4 on boot.
Press Save&Apply, and you are good to go.
OP updated with own application and instructions.
Hi, is there a limitation to the sd card capacity? As I'm using 64 GB one with FAT32 and I want to increase the 4 GB file size limit. Thanks
No, it's not something you have to worry about today. (16TB)

Hi,
I´m sorry to ask but watt´s the advantage of this.
Regards
micro SD card with FAT 32 limit max file size to store on it to 4GB.
There was an issue with mounting that could prevent writing to the card. Hopefully 1.3 will solve this.
I have managed to make it work without SuperSU and busybox from version 1.5, although some feedback would be nice.

Try again a few times, or try to reboot. If the problem persists, you may have to format the card in a PC.
Also 1.8(.1) has a problem with auto-mount on boot, it is fixed in 1.8.2

Got it. It works. I dont use touchboost mode and if im using performance mode i cant open app. Yeah im switching but it is a small bug.
Is there a possibility to save aps on sd? I think by using apps2sd, make second swap partition? Dont know am i right...

With 1.8.3 you can continue even when using other governors.
Apps2SD would be harder. Yes you need second partition, and you would need to mount that to data in the beginning of the boot. That's not possible without ramdisk tweaking. Which is extremely hard and dangerous to do with an application.
Is it possible to read a SD card formated with ext4 in Windows?

If the phone is connected to the PC, with MTP, you can read/write as before.
If you want to read the card itself, you need something like ext2fsd, or a total commander plugin, etc.
Sorry if I ask something silly. If I backup data with titanium before formatting sd card with ext4, can I just restore it after formatting the sd card ? Or I should do another thing first ?

Titanium backup is going to backup your applications to the sdcard, so it's not what you want.
You just have to copy everything from external sd to your pc or cloud or whatever, and after formatting, copy it back.

Ha..ha..ha..how can I forget about that. I forget about system and aplications are installed in internal storage and backup to sd card. I'm going to try it. Thank you for you explanation..

With the past few versions, it was actually not possible to format the card.
This new version will not only format, but repartition it, to minimize the chance for an error.
I have used the Redmi Note 2 Tool for some time, but since Xiaomi removed Root from there Dev Roms and I have to use SuperSU for Root the mounting of my ext4 sd card doesn't work correctly anymore. I always get a Permission Denied error in Apps that don't have Root Rights.
Is there a way to make this work again or did I overlook some Setting?
Hard to understanding ex4 is OK if in case not wok I can mount again in ex4 tools. But miui file broser file manager can't use ext 4. Rootexpoler can use ex4. Is it need give permision for each program ? They don't ask for permision. Then how to solve it and run ex4 sdcard as normal in fat 32
