Hey guys,
hope someone could help me. I flashed the newest version of BoyPPC-Shift PDA. I partitioned my SD Card (8Gb) to Fat and EXT3. Now I have the problem with the internal memory. I also put the Data2SD folder and the .config to the SD Card before flashing the ROM with CWM.
Unfortunately it doesn't work. Do i have to partition the SD Card to EXT4 and put then the Data2SD folder and the .config to the SD Card? I don't have any experience with EXT4. Before i used Rafroid and everything worked fine with EXT3.
Thanks a lot for your help
i got the same problem exactly and apparently no one knows a solution i iwsh it was like DHD where it works automatically also note that this issue has been always there with all BOYPPC Builds if u go to to the Memory settings it reads the EXT3 size but all the apps are installed on the internal memory so i do not know whether it is a bad script or what exactly
Hello, i´m from germany and my english is not good...
but i try to help..
I use the BoyPPCShiftPDA DHD Rom with 1GB app2sd and my SD Card is completely formatet to FAT32 (8GB).
To use the app2sd feature i extract the files from the attachment and put the folder and the config file to my sdcard.
This works perfectly for me.

Searched before, never did found a good tut for partitioning a SD Card with Success.
Like to partition a SD card to ext/swap/fat32 properly.
Also always wonder, can I install apps on to SD card fat32 partition or ext? rather than the Cell build in memory?(myTouch 3G 1.2)
Can some one point me to a good tutorial to do this?
Or a video tutorial?
Cheer!

Use the option in your recovery image. I think AmonRA's should work just fine.
The ROM your using will decide whether you can install apps to FAT or to EXT partitions. Honestly I would use the EXT partition out of the two because if loaded to FAT you'll lose your Alps when you unmount your SD card. Honestly you've got plenty of internel storage so you shouldn't need it.

Hey,
Yh, I know: another app2sd+ question...
Tried using the search button, but did not find what I was searching for
I'm using the TyphooN CyanogenMod7 RC2 v2.5.5 ROM on my HD2 and was running low on internal memomy and used to send apps to my sd card, but some wouldn't not work and my internal memomery was low on memory.
So I decided to partition my 8GB scandisk sd card:
6.7 gb FAT32 en 800mb ext2
After I did that, I used a clean instal of TyphooN CyanogenMod ROM and everyhting works .
When I go to applications and then applications managing, I see that my internal memory is just 244 mb and my external memory 6.5 gb.
But what I don't understand :
Who do I move downloaded applications from my phone to the ext2 partition on my sd card instead on the fat32 partition ?
Does this (moving to ext2 partition) happen automatically when I download apps and move them to the SD card ?
The ext partition is considered internal, so if you manually move an app to the SD card, it will go from the ext partition to the fat partition and many wont work. When you have an ext partition you don't need to do anything. The rom will use the ext itself.
When you look at internal memory size it wont show the ext space, only the actual internal space. Say you instal a ten Meg app, that figure goes down ten even though its installed to ext, but it will go back up ten next reboot.
Thank you very much !
That was very clear, didn't find this somewhere else

After i have installed it, the phone cannot detect my sd card. What is the problem there? Can anyone help?
Do you have only a Fat 32 partition or do you have ext2 or ext3 partition?
I have the same problem, I have 2 partition (fat32 + ext2)
how can I solve this problem??
there is no need to use ext, i have only fat partition and it works very vell, format is with the pc to fat, and i think is will work
When you use this rom, you have to only use a Fat32 partition.
format the SD card with other cell phone (this work for me when i have this problem), with 2.3 and 2.2 you don't need have a ext 2 or ext 3, my card is formated on fat16, in fat32 don't work
grettings, sorry for the english jaj
I formatted it with fat and fat32 with ext3...it doesnt work at all...hmm...format the ext part?
had the same issue , a full wipe and deleting the ext3 partition worked.
happy hackdroid 2.3.3 user now , i hope te fix the camera to take some pics as well now cause thats the only thing i can care a lil bit more

yeah...i solved the problem by formatting the ext3 part to only fat32...it works..thanks alot guys...but installed apps will continue eat my phone memory???
Oh..found that this 2.3.3 have the function installing apps into sd card..great! thanks!!
Hey,
I'm sure there is a way to do this but I'm not sure!
I have just upgraded to vegacomb and are still learning! I have the stock 4gb SD card at the moment and want to upgrade. Do I have to start from scrafch again or can I copy every thing from one to the other..... the from and all apps etc?
Thanks
First thing is to make sure you make a backup of your data in your 4GB card if it has enough space ( From the recovery bootloader ).
Then you copy all the folders on mem card into a folder on your computer. Make sure you select any hidden or file system files on the mem card and copy them too.
Depending on how you want to use your new card, you can either format it for FAT32 or mixture of fat32 and ext3 . If you are planing to move you apps to SD using link2SD, i recommend have dual format which allows copying "most" of the apps to the mem card without effecting how they work. Best way to do it is to create FAT32 first and as the first-to-read partition then create ext3. make sure both partitions are primary.
I use Easeus Partion Master ( on windows ) to format the card with dual file systems.
After you did it, you can copy back the files which you saved on your computer at first stage back to the new mem card.
Hope it helps
Hi, yeah ttah does help thank you mate. So the actual ROM (vegacomb) is stored on the tablet and not the card then... thats what I wanted to doubler check.
Thanks mate.
Hello
I have rooted J5 (2015) with stock marshmallow 6.0.1 (rom installed manually via odin) and i want to use link2sd app. I make 2 partitions FAT32 and ext2 both are primary and FAT32 is a first partition. But link 2 sd dont see second partition. When i make script via link2sd i get message No such file or directory. I try format card and use ext 2 ext3 ext4 formats always that same error. I think that maybye sd card is broken (i have old 2gb card) it can be it?
You need to separate partitions on your SD card, you can do this either by PC (if you have microsd slot) or using an app, i don't remember the name. Those are the ways to make sd card second partition for cache and etc.
But doing that you will just slow your phone down
What do you mean separate? I have two partitions fat32 and ext2
