Apps2SD or Link2SD? What is better for SGS running ICS? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to know before I go formatting and repartitioning my SD cards etc.
Do most people do this to their ext card when they run link2sd or internal card?

You don't have enough with 2 GB ?

I don't know what its better but, i can say that i use link2sd and i dont have any problem

No its the fact that some of the larger ones dont allow for moving by apps2SD so was thinking of links2SD because they are typically symlinked from my understanding so the system doesn't know any different.

Yep same her used link2sd for a long time whitout probs!

I still don't understand why you would need it, but I also have used link2sd without problems on my G3. App2sd created a total meltdown on my previous phone.

i have a question: i can use link2SD with my external sd (with FAT32 file system)??

Exactly ^^^ when flashing new ROMs it wrecks the app icon link to the actual app even though the app is there and installed. It cannot be fixed except by reinstalling the app and re - moving the app to SD card again. I believe Link2SD you can just reinstall link2SD after flashing a ROM and then reconnect all the links to apps that are already installed and then they all start working again.
Thing is that I have partitioned the SD card and allowed for 800MB of space in FAT and the link2SD script doesn't work with my SGS now that I am on ICS

I use App2SD and it runs perfect..

[Q] Number application limit ?

Is there any limit to the number of application that can be installed to this device?
I'm using app2sd Amarullz script. I've tried Darktremor and also s2e.
But after I installed a lot of applications (only takes about 200MB of my ext partition), I can't install anything more. Everytime I tried, it always get reboot while installing.
but after I remove some apps, I can install it.
i had like 304 apps installed...but no reboot when tried to add new ones...in fact the only thing that happened to me was extreme lags
what a2sd u are using?
your size of ext partition?
sorry I kinda curious what happened to me...
i have 300+ app, and doesn't have such problem.
i'm using ungaze, never try amarulz.

If you mean the ext partition, it isn't. I have 1.28GB ext partition and I've just used around 200MB.
is it because I also use swap?

have not tried amarullz, but ur prob is sd-ext is mounted as read only and not read write.(check using rootexplorer or by any other means)
but u say after u uninstall some u can install again? i dont know abt that.

yes, after I uninstall some, I can install some. That's why i think the problem is application number or too much partition size that the device can't handle?
I've make a smaller partition of ext4. now it's about 800MB.
and 300MB swap.
why u change u'r partition?
i have 1,1 GB ext4 and only 100MB swap.

lol 64mb swap will do.
still tell me if ur sd-ext is mounted as r/w or r/o
there is no limit for the apps that u keep but the thing is u should have enough phone memory free so that your phone doesn't lag and runs smooth

I've opened Root Explorer and open /sd-ext. It's r/w.
that's should be right that, isn't it?
I have more than 250 apps, and i'm having problems - launcher forced close.
Problems disappear if i remove - or quarantine/freeze - apps.
Seeem to me that it's worst with apps that scan for apps list - titanium backup, or others apps manager.
I do not use any a2sd progs - just the native 'move to sd' feature, with the hack to bypass original settings, used to mov e in SD freezed (unused) apps.
Another - separate - issue is memory occupation...
Seem to me that updating apps do not remove the older apps - this is surely true with ROM apps - so i get a lot of memory wasted.
Another - separate - issue is RAM, or run-time memory... Android should manage it on its own - but still i'm not so confident that errors do not occurs with heavy load.
I thinj maybe the prob is your sdcard. Try purchase highend sdcard like classt10

I highly recommend using CMW for making the partition. I've had some problems making them through my PC. With CMW you just set the amount of size you want it and wait till its done.
Then install S2E.
yea its better to make it by cwm and its very easy....
but make sure you have the backup of you sdcard before partitioning...
Hey ! I just googled about partitioning sd card and found that CWM may brick your phone.. is it true ?

If your phone is rooted, follow these steps -
1) Download root explorer or file manager app from market.
2) Open the app
3) Go to system/app
4) Delete the following files
swype.apk
thinkdroid.apk or thinkfree.apk if you dont use thinkfree office(something like that, i dont remember the exact name)
youtube.apk
fmradio.apk and fmradio.odex
voicesearch.apk
voicerecorder.apk and voicerecorder.odex
etc..
Delete these files only if you dont use all these apps. Don't blame me later on.

Apps disappearing from EXT4 partition
Hi everyone. Since I see that at least part of this thread seems to be talking about Link2SD, I wondered whether anyone might be able to offer some insight into the problem I am experiencing.
Before that however, let me explain that I started off with an 8GB micro SD card with a 500MB EXT4 partition. I had been fast running out of space in the internal phone memory, and my SD drive itself was also filling up fast. When I installed Link2SD I managed to regain a considerable amount of free space on the internal memory.
The problem is though that once I had linked the majority of my apps to the EXT4 partition and backed up the device in that condition with CWM, once I rebooted the system all the apps that were linked had disappeared. However there are still some 244MB of files on the EXT4 partition that Link2SD says are in use, and I cannot delete them.
I then purchased a 16GB micro SD card from Samsung, and tried to restore the CWM backup to that card....my apps were missing apart from the few that remained on the FAT32 partition and in the phone memory....I should mention that this also happened before I installed the CM7.1 ROM.
Now things have really become problematic. I decided to remove quite a few apps, then download the latest version of Link2SD from the apps Market. But although there is now plenty of space on all partitions I keep getting the 'insufficient storage available' message, and I cannot install anything. I also did a CWM restore on the original 8GB SD card with the same result. This is why I cannot lay the blame fully on Link2SD, as there has to be a glitch somewhere in my installation.
FreeSpace [Root] shows the following on the 8GB based system:
Cache free space 20.7MB
Data free 16.6MB
Ext free 265.0MB
SD-card free 959.1MB
System free 48.2MB
So what gives? I really don't understand what's going on. I am running the latest CM7.1-RC1 Cooper-Grif ROM build number GWK74, with Kernel version 2.6.35.7-CL-562111 [email protected]#1 with all updates necessary. This is costing me more time than I can afford to lose on this, and I really need to find a solution once and for all, preferable without having to reinstall everything again from scratch, which is what I intend doing once the official Cyanogen Mod becomes available finally.
Thanks in advance, and apologies for the long post.

Make partition in cwm yet easy but...it will format your sd...on minitool is better if u have lots of thing on your sd...
regards,
•ƒγяύs ργяσ™•
I got some problems doing this. This is what I did:
I had many apps installed and moved to SD (8gb class 4), so I made a backup of the SD content.
I formatted it, and created 2 partitions (6.8gb and 515mb) using Minitool Partition Wizard. Both are primary and FAT32 (if I create the 2nd partition as EXT2 the phone says SD is damaged).
Moved my backup content again to the 6.8gb partition and rebooted the phone.
Looks like everything is right but Link2SD says "second partition not found".
What IM doing wrong?
Would Link2SD detect that 2nd partition if I flash my phone and I start installing apps now that my SD has 2 partitions?
IMHO from what I've experience, Link2sd does not accept fat partitions. I had the same problem.
Are you looking for the correct type of partition?
Start Link2sd>menu>More>recreate mount scripts and choose FAT32/FAT16

Moving Apps & Games to ext SD

Hi,
i flashed my phone with the pre-rooted firmware, managed by avicohh.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2030282
Thanks for the great job! Is there now any way to move application and games to external SD card?
Thanks for your help.
Try the Link2SD app. There are others available, but I've read many reviews for it and it seems to do its job well.
I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it's what you were looking for.

Thanks,
i installed the Link2SD app, but everytime, when i try to move any app or game to ext SD, i get error "install_failed_insufficient_storage".
Any idea? I have 2 partitions on the ext SD card, both primary, size aprox. 15 GB each... One of them is FAT32, the second one is EXT4. I tried formated the second partition with EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, FAT32... always the same error... Thanks for help
Hmm... this is interesting, it looks like many users are reporting this same error. Sorry about that!
I haven't installed it yet, as I added in my edit above, but I'll give it a try later on and see what I find.
Edit: if you want to move Gameloft files, then there's also GL to SD which is reported to work (but then again, so was the one I suggested above ).

I tried app2sd also, after installation i got error - "The device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary external storage is emulated. Moving app to SD function may not be supported by this device." That's all.. i can't move anything...
I'll try the GL to SD later... Thanks for help
App2SD won't work since the only thing it does is inform you that an app can be moved to SD and present you with a shortcut for that action - it's not compatible with Android 4.0 and above since Google disabled the feature. You can only use it in previous versions where the option is accessible from the app's screen anyway.
If you're really anxious, then there's also DirectoryBind and a nifty tutorial here to test.
Oh, and please click the Thanks button if you think I've helped.

Low memory with CronMod on CyanogenMod.

That's really weird. It's not supposed to happen. Though I have had some issues like that, it's because you know some parts of the app stay in the internal memory of the phone, they have to be manually moved to the SD over time. Since it's a really small amount of storage that that part of the app takes, it really shouldn't be a problem. But since you have a lot of them installed, you're gonna have to manually move the apps to the SD.
Use Titanium Backup and batch move the heaviest apps you have to the SD and it'll work normally.

Sorry, I'm just having no luck getting the fixed IN2EXT4+ to work on an international galaxy ace. the script creates a file in the init.d folder, as opposed to the unfixed version, but it still doesn't mount or recognise the ext partition on the SD card. I've followed your guides very closely, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...
after each attempt, i start from scratch (clean ROM install), and yet I keep failing ;/
I partition using CWM recovery 5, so does that create an ext4 partition or 3/lower?
Thanks for your time

You should mount /system from CWM before you install CronMod. CronMod mounts the ext partition of your SD Card as the new /data moving all the original /data files in there. Now certain applications like Google Play, Google Setting, etc needs to be in the internal memory to work properly. Otherwise they will give forced closes. With CronMod, you will not be able to move any apps to internal memory as your new internal memory is the ext partition of your SD Card. While using CronMod make sure to install only the necessary apps as installing more and more apps will make your phone more laggier. Also the maximum size of the ext partition should be 1 GB. Hope I Helped

hello,I'm quite new here,but I've tried partitioning SD fro my galaxy Ace in the past,and it did not work kind of well.My question is,what should I really mount when I'm flashin int2ext+?I've tried googling,but all the forums have been giving me different answers,so could anyone please help me figure out the "REAL" things to mount?because I'm quite confused as what to mount.Furthermore,after I flashed int2ext+,my phone became quite laggy,and my apps sometimes are not responding..So,any help/insight on that is greatly appreciated!

Hi sorry for the late reply.I'm using Touchwiz Revolutionized 5.0-V4.0 [FINAL],and it seems to work fine,with cronmod's int2ext+,but the occassional lag still happens,sometimes unbearable..maybe I'll try another ROM later

Since the original /data partition is moved into the ext partition of the SD Card and the SD Card R/W speed is less than internal memory R/W speed, yes, it will lag. You can control this to a certain extent by using Class 8 or above SD Card and only installing the necessary apps. Don't forget more apps you install to ext partition, more laggier your phone becomes

There is a way to avoid lags (but with Class 8 or above) and that is RAM swap...on Play store there are great apps for this. Just type "Ram swap".

The main problem while using swap is that it degrades your SD Card's life. So use it at your own risk. Hope I Helped
