I followed the tutorial by Sir CarlDeanCatabay to increase the Internal Memory by partitioning SD Card using Mini-Tool Partition Wizard. I first made my 2nd Partition as EXT4(as Merruk 2.5 supports EXT4), but, Link2SD was unable to mount script. I tried with both EXT2 and EXT3, but, the same result came. I saw another external tutorial which said to make the 2nd Partition FAT32; I did, and Link2SD was able to mount. I installed some Apps and LWPs, and Link2SD said that it was link to the SD Card. When I looked upon the Storage Info in Link2SD Menu, I saw my 2nd Partition as same as it was at first, but, my Primary Android-SD(it was set as Active during partition) was filled with 35 MB out of my knowledge.. Isn't link2sd linking my apps to the 2nd Partition and instead doing so to SD Main? If so, what should I do? Thanks!
I think u must prefer cwm method....as it is easy and doesn't creates problem

I wish I'd have done that, I've already partitioned...I'm also not so sure if it is linking or not..

Did you set your 2nd partition as primary?

yeah! I did set my 2nd partition as Primary and FAT32....since, Link2SD was unable to mount the EXTs...

You cant simply format to unpartition the sdcard. Use any partition tool to unpartition first. Then format the whole sd card.

why does my hd2 have 151mb of internal storage and only 91mb for installing apps. i have NexusHD2 ROM.:crying:
You have a 512MB HD2 (European). And most of that is taken by the system partitions and whatnot. You need data2ext or sth like that so that you can have more storage.
create ext4 partition on your sd card using mini partition tool, it will increase your internal memory.
Hit thanks if it helped :laugh:
it's normal that you have only this storage memory, Nexushd2 ROM are consuming a lot of memory.
You can move your apply on your sd-card if you have one or you can do that Rahil S say.

but i dont know how to create an ext4 partition on sd card, can someone please guide me through on how to do this.:crying:
I'm sorry, you will have to look for that yourself.
You can use the link in my signature, it's an HD2-specific search.
So when the ext partition is created, will some of the internal memory still be used up by apps that are on SD.
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda app-developers app
When you create an ext partition, it becomes the internal memory for apps. No need to move anything to SD.
Yes but i have created ext partition of 1gb, yet I still get low memory message. I used titanium back app.

You reflashed the rom? And chose Dataonext?

i just created an ext4 partition of 1gb on the sd card using cwm. like rahil s indicated
No. Even after creating the ext4 partition, data and apps won't move on their own. You need to reflash the rom with the option "DataOnExt".
You can use TB to backup your apps, and restore after you re-install.
Is there another way, cause I don't want to mess around with the flashing stuff as I have bricked my phone in the past. I mean is there an alternative to flash like partition the SD card and use app like link2sd to move app data to sd

Sorry for getting in the middle of your conversation,
but i believe that the best solution is data onext that it was stated above.
Tou should really give it a try!

Are you looking for 10 posts also? Because we've already agreed that DataOnExt is the best option. He DOES want to give it a try, so your post is pointless = You are looking for 10 posts. What's the sudden interest in the HD2 section for spamming?
Also, NO. Your apology for interrupting this conversation IS NOT acceptable.
Anyway, @OP:
I think the best option is to back up all your apps using Titanium Backup, reinstall the ROM with DOE option, and then reinstall TB and your apps.
No, using Link2SD will not help you. It doesn't work like that. Sorry.
go to market and dowload link2SD to link or move app to SD ext or

I partitioned my 8gig sd card => 6.5(fat 32-prim) & 1.5(ext4-prim).
In Storage Menu under settings,it is showing available space as 0.00 B
Also whenever i reboot the phone, it gets back to default state.
Any help ?
P.S. I tried partitoning using CWM & PC both. Still the same results

Please re-format your ext4 partition to 1gb. As far as I know all those dataonext scripts using 1gb.
By the way:
I did the formatting of the partition for dataonext not over CWM. I used the program "Mini Partitioning Tool".
Just search the Internet, Google is you're friend

I hope you created the 1GB as primary and not logical. I made the same mistake some months ago
Please check the OT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224469 installation section.
Do it like he is descriping and flash the ROM again. Otherwise it seems to be a problem with your SD card. Cheers
I came from the og evo where a2sd was the norm. From what I've seen link2sd is the norm (correct me if I'm wrong).my question is, for the s4 what is the best way to partition my SD card

Op is asking how to remove partition.. not how to wipe/format partition.. so your answer is wrong for this question. So the correction..
You would remove it if you don't want to use the second or third(swap) partition anymore.
@ op.. use any partition managers like minitool, easus etc to remove it or as stated above windows disk management will do.. you would have to delete both partitions in sdcard and create a new partition of fat32.. search in Google.. you will find good guides..
But make a backup of sdcard first before doing it..

if you use some kind of partition manager, you can remove the partition without losing data, but always backup

err.. no.
Formatting only resets data on that partition. I mean it only clears data from that partition.. it won't delete the partition. Say you have 2 partition.
If you format in phone. It will format first partition. Second partition data will be intact. And it won't be deleted either.

just use any partitioning tool to remove both partitions, then make a fat32 partition of the whole sdcard.

you should be able to use minitool to remvove any sd card partition
copy anything you want to save onto pc
open mini tool
delete all partitions on sd card
create a new partition of fat32
hit apply
you could if you wanted just merge the partitions or delete the unwanted partition then extend the other partition into unused space but the above method is quick and simple
Try formatting the sd-ext on CWM advanced tab
