Link2SD

What they say

Quote

Link2SD is an application that makes it easy for Android users with root privileges on their phone to move applications to the SD card.

The idea behind is same with apps2sd scripts, linking applications to SD card ext2 partition but differs in two ways.

One, instead of linking /data/app folder (that means moving all applications), you can select applications that you want to move.
Two, its an application which means has a user interface. You can manage your applications, create or remove links with just one click.

Features:
- Creates and removes link for application you select
- Lists applications, shows they are linked or not
- Sorts and filters applications
- Displays available space information of phone, SD card and SD card ext2 partition.
- Repairs missing Market applications

What you need:
- root permission.
- ext2 partition on your SD card. 2 partitions set up, first FAT32 and second ext2, both are primary.
- Thats all. Just install Link2SD, it will do all necessary. No need to copy files or run scripts*.

This app is one of the best ones available - easily lets you move apps to sdcrad on lg gt540 and probably on loads of other androids as well - it was a bit tricky figuring out how to get the second partition - but when i did - it worked great.

THIS APP IS A MUST HAVE!!!!!!

It seems very good, but is it working with ext4?

Okey, now I don't know what to do.

I've Formatted my 16GBSD-card using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition, created a Primary FAT32 for the full SD.
Resized it (tried different sizes for the Ext2 partition from 1gb - 10gb) and both partitions are Primary. Still I get a message saying "Second partition not found on your SD-card"

I've even reformatted the SD to 16gb FAT32 and tried partition in CWM, nothing works. What to do?!

Cheers!

I had the same problem the first time I opened Link2SD, but after I rebooted it worked.

Here's a thread all about Link2SD that might help.
