Guest TechnoLover Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 my link2sd is in german so I don't know the exact english names, but this is how it goes: menue -> options -> automatic link of apps, check it and then the app links every installed app automatically ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stonebear Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I have never used "link2sd" before...I can't see how to move apps to ext2 partition, I just have an option to move to SD card and when I click it, it says it will be moved using native apps2sd method. So instead of move, I select "link"? That moves them to the ext2? How does that provide more space than app2sd does? Because it moves other stuff like dalvik and lib?

Guest sjaakiespeelman Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 whats the use of a ext2 partition. i don't have it, put my apps to sd with titanium.. tried to move dalvik but i need ext2 .. is it better, or can i deal with just moving apps to sd.. can i copy my sd to pc, then make an ext, and put it back? root the device install and partition an external sd card with a ext2 partition of say around 1.5gig install link2sd use link2sd to move ALL your user apps over to the ext2 partition use link2sd to link dalvik-cache and lib files for all your user apps over to ext2 partition install titanium backup pro use titanium backup pro to move all the dalvik-cache files for your system apps back into /sys/ partition. nett result on my device 175+ apps installed and around 70mg free space on internal. you can also look at using titanium backup to move your move commonly user apps into the spare space on the /sys/ partition Westa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stonebear Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) whats the use of a ext2 partition. I had about 40mb free using apps2sd (or titanium), I have 120mb free using link2sd. Link2sd needs ext2. Also it means you can put things like widgets on the ext2 and they won't break like if you put them on SD in normal way. can i copy my sd to pc, then make an ext, and put it back? Yes.

Link2SD doen't move absolutely everything, some kinda data isn't moved, I don't know what. I assume you have a lot of apps installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try linking all the apps you have on SD. When they get put on the SD it is the default froyo method. Some apps have large portions that remain on internal storage when moved to the SD card. By linking the majority of the app will be on your ext. It should free up some space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stonebear Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yes, you have to link all the apps, don't just link some and have the others on the SD in the apps2sd way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, that will give the most free space on internal storage. Also, if you have Titanium pro you can select "integrate sys dalvik into Rom" (from the "more" options) and "integrate updates of system apps into rom" (a batch option), that gives quite a lot of extra space.

My Dalvik cache is on SD-EXT Im using gingerounay 3.0.4 ,Facebook stopped syncing so I moved it back to the internal memory so far I have experenced no other problems,It leaves me 105mb of internal storage Is it okay to leave the dalvic cashe on SD ?

Link2sd does link the dalvik of the apps that you link, if you choose that option. So I reckon, yea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr-brunes Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Hi Sorry for the newb question but I'm installing Link2SD after partitioning my 32GB SDcard with a 1GB partition using ClockworkMod Recovery v4, and Link2SD is asking me to "select the file system of your SD cards' second partition - ext2, ext3, ext4, FAT32/FAT16". I've absolutely no idea what to put for this and searches don't leave me any the wiser. Did the Recovery's Partition SDCard function create a filesystem as well as a partition? I can't see any type of filesystems listed under Settings or Manage Apps. Surely Link2SD should be able to detect the type of filesystem that is present?

Guest mr-brunes Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Eventually I found a solution to finding out what type of filesystem CWM Recovery had used when partitioning my SD card. I downloaded the free MiniTool Partition Wizard and this told me that it was Ext3. Indeed next time I'll use MiniTool to do the partitioning, as per the detailed instructions in post 40 in this thread : http://android.modac..._1#entry1874947 Edited January 15, 2012 by mr-brunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
