Okay so my Droid is running okay, but I would like to have more memory for apps. So I figured, why not just use the app2sd script from DT after partitioning my card in CWM like I did my Ascend. I tried these steps:
1. In the CWM recovery (2.5.0.1 and 3.1.0.2) there is no option ANYWHERE to partition the SD card like in the 2.x.x.x CWM on my Ascend.
2. I partitioned in ROM Manager and chose 512 Partition with 128 MB Swap. The phone reboots and partitions the SD, and I checked in MiniTool Partition Wizard to make sure, there was a ext3 partition and a linux swap.
3. I move all apps to Internal memory, went in to CM Settings and allowed application moving.
4. Flashed DT's beta 4 script in recovery and it wouldnt boot, had to clear dalvik cache.
5. Get back in and found that the apps had moved no where. I check the sd-ext folder in Root Explorer and it said empty folder. a2sdgui does not work, if I change something, it just changes back.
6. Reflashed, tried S2E (simple2ext) and had the same issue, it isnt recognizing the ext partition.
7. Reflashed and tried various other settings with no luck.
What should I do? I really dislike having 15mb of internal memory free. Any help would be loved
Here is the info:
Was using the latest CM7 build but now I tried it on SteelDroid 9... same issue
Got view but no replies? Need some help here....
delete all previous scripts and try link2sd. i have been using it successfully.
HI ! In this tutorial i am going to show ya all How to Increase the Internal Memory on SGA GT-S5830i.
This tutorial is not my work. I have taken other tutorials and made one full. As many people were a bit confused about doing this , here it is the all in one tutorial
What do you need :
- CronMod Script
- CWM
- Brain
- Latest Rafael.Baugis Kernels
CronMod Script by Styrke link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955422
- Now download the "Cronmod Unofficial by Styrke" from the thread ( I strongly recommand it , not the other versions because it doesn't lag and GPS works )
- Place it on SD Card after 1st step [ Partition SD Card step ]
Now we are going to make a partition to the SD Card so backup all your SD Card before doing this ( It formats it )
ClockWorkMod Recovery link : http://www.mediafire.com/?a4j6zsoyaihhy60
- Place it on SD Card after 1st step [ Partition SD Card step ]
Link2SD : Link in PlayStore ( Download when it's time to download on the installation steps lol :silly: )
OK , Let's start now :
Partition SD Card :
1) Open CWM Recovery
2) Go to "Advanced"
3) Select "Partition SD Card"
4) Choose your SD-ext size (if you’re using a 2Gb SD card, choose 512Mb. If your SD card is 4Gb or greater, you can choose 1024Mb)
5) Select "0M" Swap.
6) Wait for the procces finish.
7) Reboot.
8) Now download Link2SD from Playstore.
9) Open Link2SD you will be prompted to choose between ext2, ext3, ext4 or FAT32.
10) First , Choose ext2. If it don't work then restart Link2SD and when then don't choose ext2 but ext4. ( Don't worry , it works )
11) It will say mount script created. Reboot your phone now.
12) Open link2sd and if the message doesn’t show up, you succeded.
13) Go to Link2sd>Settings>check the autolink.
14) To check your memory, select “Storage Info”. This will show you the current state of your internal memory, FAT32, and ext2 partition.

Placing the 2nd partition of SD Card to internal.
15) Now your SD Card is formated .
16) Place the CronMod Script on your SD Card ( Cronmod Unofficial file )
17) Open CWM again
18) Foramt /data /sd-ext /system
19) Mount /system
20) Flash custom rom
21) Remount /system
22) Flash "Cronmod Unofficial " script.
23) Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Alternative mod : If you have already your custom ROM just do these easy steps :
1) Format /data /sd-ext
2) Mount /system
3) Flash "Cronmod Unofficial" script
4) Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOW YOU SUCCESFULLY INCREASED YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY
How to delete 2nd partition and revert to normally :
1) Go to CWM
2) Go to Mounts and Storage
3) Choose " format /sdcard "
4) Done

Note : Backup everything again or you will lose every app installed on 2nd Partition too.

how do I format sd card partition ??
any thing other than mini tool partision wizard ??
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
is this to download?
Data2sd-ext Fixed.zip
As the other one is not there
No no ! No tool needed and what do you mean to format it ? Ah, if you mean the 2nd partion just format/wipe the /sd-ext on the mounts and storage on CWM . But it is unnessesary becouse the 2nd partition is transfered to the the internal memory.
Sent from my Galaxy S4
recommend fresh rom... rom with lot of appk maybe bootloop...no need link2sd... easy way, flash rom, flash kernel(boot.img & module) mount system & flash cronmod unofficial by styrke(latest script).. done... depend of what rom, maybe no need to mount system... kernel also, no need flash if rom include lattest kernel...:silly: adios...
#remember, create partition with cwm its totally format your sdcard... before do this, save data sdcard to pc/laptop... only left behind cwm.zip... when done, move back saving data to sdcard... when all its ready, happy flashing lol...

Hey I followed your whole procedure,
but I got stocked when I wanted to apply the data2ext-fixed file
During my stock rom, I had partionated my sd-card on windows computer, not with CWM, but after I used ur guide, I partionated it again with CWM, so now it should have the structure given by CWM, right?
But here is the problem. In CWM I don't get the option "Format /data /sd-ext" there are just the following options: format "/data or /sdcard or /system or /cache" but no option "Format /data /sd-ext"
So might it be that CWM didn't apply the extention right?
When I open Link2SD it does all the things it should do, but the internal memory is rising, so maybe it is not putting the files in the right place, someone said instead of putting them to "sd-ext" it is putting them to "sdext2"
Another point: In the tutorial u mentioned after step 14)
"Placing the 2nd partition of SD Card to internal." Is that a point I have to do?
Because right now the 2nd partition is sdext2, but it is still not preventing that the internal memory is rising.
Hope u can help me to solve this problem.

LOL. Of course there is no such option like Format /data /sd-ext. What he mean is format your data and sd-ext one by one. Meaning you should format data 1st, After finished format sd-ext.
And for your second point problem, it is a title. Not a step to follow.

Ok, but in CWM there are only the options "format data" and "format sd-card" so in this case "sd-card" and "sd-ext" is the same?
Because I don't want that the ext3 which i partitioned before will be deleted and the sd-card will only consist of one partition and not "sd-card" by itself and "ext3" part on the sd-card.
If i push "format sd-card" it will not destroy the partitions which i created before?

LOL , data2ext script is only for ext2 first and you should go to mounts and systems and format /sd-ext and data as i said in the instructions . If you can't see any , buy some glasses You haven't seen correctly ! Follow d steps carefully. It's a bit complied so you should keep an eye to the thread and an eye to the phone .. And yes if you format /sdcard your partition will revert back , so you will uninstall it

Thank you for the answers.
So yeah maybe the CWM version I'm using is outdated.
So let me ask this
in this thread there are some files to root and also have CWM.
My phone is rooted, so which file (i think they should be most up-to-date CWM-files, right?) should I download and use for CWM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551156
So another question, so you said the partition should be ext2 not ext3, otherwise the data2ext script doesn't work, right?
I think I can't see the "format sd-ext" option, because my CWM is outdated, which version should I install? Where is the link for the most current- or usable version? Should I get the ClockWorkRec_S5830C-i-M.zip from the thread mentioned above?

My plan is to be able to backup my Phone operating system (ROM I think it is called)
And I also want to put all my apps stored on the phone's memory onto an SD card. This is because I keep getting warnings that my internal memory is full.
I would appreciate any help or advice

May I ask how you can tell if the Backup process has been successful?
Is there a way to verify the backup?
I only ask as I have tried to make a backup and got the message that could not mount SD-ext
And that the backup my not be supported by my device. The information went very quickly so I could not get the info exactly.

1. Your backup = ALL your current rom data
2. Umm... I've never had a problem using CMW :S
3. Sd-ext IS NOT sdcard, so no problem if you haven't got sd-ext partition the script always finish telling you that you haven't got a sd-ext and skipping automatically this step , that's all. No problem at all
Hello
Before I did the clockworkmod, I partitioned my SD card into two FAT32 partitions. One was for my data and a smaller partition was to be in preparation of learning how to transfer all my apps to the SD card.
I was worried that partitioning the SD card had caused complications.

What did you use to do partitions?CWM?
I use minipartition tools (a windows free tool) and is to easy
Now you can use Link2sd e.g.
If I were you I'd create an ext4 (as sd-ext partition) instead of create 2 Fat32. Because ext4 can be used with int2ext scripts too
If you want you can read this q&a thread about link2sd/int2ext to get more useful info

So this method works for sure? On the Ace is possible to make only a 512mb ext4 partition to use it with int2ext, right? Because every 500mb partition is needed 100mb of internal storage.

Yes, for sure!!
...no, you can do a partition with the size that you want. This script mount your /sd-ext as your /data partition so you can use all space you want in your sd-ext partition
I had 1GB partition and worked without problems with int2ext+ script
Hi guys Do I need a special version of int2ext in order to use it with Jelly Bean rom (in particular CM 10.1)? An ext4 partition will be fine for this use? Last but not least: to install this script is needed a special procedure (like mount /system and /data in recovery)? Thank you for your help and time Have a great life, peace!

1. Int2ext scripts work in JB
2. .ext4 is the best option
3. The procedure is always the same:
First of all create you sd-ext partition using MiniTool Partition
Code:
1. Backup your current data (optional)
2. Boot into CWM/Go back to CWM menu
3. Flashing the script:
>>> mount data
>>> mount system
>>> mount sd-ext
>>> format SD-EXT (YOUR EXTERNAL PARTITION, NOT YOUR SD!)
4. Flash the script!
5. Reboot system

You can create your sd-ext using your pc or CWM, I advise you to use your PC (MiniTools Partition). It's safe, easy and you can choose .ext4 format
Using CWM >> Format sd-ext command will wipe your sd-ext data, so don't worry about "re-format" your sd.ext, it won't change your sd-ext's system format
The best, the safest & the easiest way to create a partition on your SD card is always via your custom recovery. You can format it to the EXT4 file system using the EXT4 conversion tool by PSDNA. Mini partition tool killed my brand new 4GB class 4 SD card.
Also nothing special for Jelly Bean as @Viper The Ripper said. It is just the same drill & yeah, cronmod scripts support all android versions & the flashing procedure always remains the same. I recommend you to use INT2EXT+.

I created succesfully a 768mb EXT4 partition with Minitool Partition flawlessly. First I formatted the SD card with Windows. Than into Minitool Parition I deleted the whole FAT32 partition, created a new FAT32 partition set as active with 768mb unallocated. Last thing I did was allocate that 768mb as EXT4. All partition are created as primary, not logical. Also used diskinfo on android and got that 768mb working without problems. Hope my steps are good hints for you to avoid other dead SD cards

According to MiniTool Partition Wizard, yes, I have 1 FAT32 (about 30GB) and another Ext3 partition. However, the device doesn't read it, and I cannot partition through either TWRP or CWM. I'm testing Cronmod on CM10.1 now, will update.

TWRP or CWM should not be used to create a new ext partition if your sdcard already have another ext partition. Meaning you should have only one ext partition in your sdcard. So delete the ext3 partition and the fat32 partition, then create a single new fat32 partition on the 32BG sdcard. Now use the recovery mod to create the ext partition. That should work. Between Link2SD and CronMod, I would always go for CronMod. Then again its my opinion. Any way if you have any problem, just post here and I'll be glad to help

Steps taken: Copied files directly through Cronmod ZIP (INt2EXtV2+) to respective places (i.e. /system/etc/init.d/) using FX File Explorer, rebooted, and it BOOTS!
Hang on a minute, let me check my disk space, it still reads '16MB free, 162MB used'. is that normal? The script has already been put into the- Wait a minute, the space just increased to 24MB free, 154MB used.
Oh my gosh. Link2SD is saying that there is no second partition.
Apparently the other init.d files are rwxr-xr-x, root, shell, but 40int2ext is rwxr-xr-x, root, root. Is that normal too?
P.S. Sorry, my Shift key is malfunctioning
EDIT: I'm manually flashing Cronmod again, instead of copying directly, as TWRP and CWM 6 didn't allow. CWM 5 works like a charm.
EDIT 2: Still 15MB free *Cries*

You should know that CronMod and Link2SD doesn't work together. Since CronMod is present, Link2sd can't find the ext partition. What is the size of your ext partition. What rom are you using now? For every 512MB sd-ext partition you need a 100MB space on /data. So please limit your sd-ext patition to 1GB max.

I'm using Maclaw's CM10.1. I don't use CronMod and Link2SD together, when i figured out that CronMod didn't work I tried to use Link2SD. As for the /data, is it 100MB free?

For our Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830, we have an internal memory of 150MB. So your ext partition size should not be more than 1GB for CronMod to work. BTW what is the size of your ext partition?

If I'm not wrong... I chose 1024MB (1GB) at the selection screen.

As a last resort, try to reflash this rom. Make sure to backup all the data. Take the rom file, extract it, put 40int2ext file inside /system/etc/init.d/ and then compress it back. Now go to CWM, do "Wipe Data/ Factory reset", "Wipe cache partitions", Mount & Storage> "Format /system" and "Format /sd-ext", Advanced> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Wipe Battery Stats". Now reflash the custom rom. This should pretty much solve it. Restore all the necessary data.

I've tried that already, and the device went into a bootloop. However, I used GParted to partition 777MB sd-ext, and the rest FAT32, and it boot up after flashing CM10.1 > GApps > CronMod INT2EXT4
The only problem was that the memory remained the same, and Partition info showed /sd-ext (EXT 0.00B/0.00B)
EDIT: For some reason sd-ext doesn't mount, but formats perfectly.

Have you tried flashing the CronMod from CWM? Can you give it a try? Also try to use INT2EXT+ as it is much more stable than others. Hope I Helped

When I flash it from CWM sometimes it somehow finishes without incident, but the file doesn't get copied.
