Link2sd / foldermount not working - Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl

Morning all,
I'm having the usual issues with internal space on my (rooted) s5360. I have tried:
Foldermount - won't work because /data/data isn't seen.as being on the internal SD card?!?
Link2sd - works on a fat/fat sd card only, then after reboot says "invalid argument" and won't mount. I've used Easus, Minitool and CWM to partition, but to no avail.
Directorybind - doesn't see any folders in /data
Are there any other ways to move / symlink monster apps like games and facebook to my SD?

With link2sd you need a kernel that can support ext4 partitions
steps to follow if on stock based rom
flash hells fusion #50 kernel
copy contents of sd card to pc
goto recovery mode on phone
in cwm partition sd card with at least 1024mb ext partition
swap is not required
restart phone
open link2sd
create mount script as ext4
Restart
Open link2sd & check 2nd partition now shows
copy everything back to sd card
restart

Having had to restore with Odin after messing about with kernels / roms (I need to run stock rom to avoid phone nework cutoff) I'm not keen on this approach.
I can't see why l2sd would work after a reboot with ext4 when it won't with fat.
Is there no other app that can be used as an alternative?
What about manually creating symlinks?

Because it needs kernel support
you won't have any problems running stock rom with hells fusion #50 kernel as long as you are not using DDMD1 baseband as that requires a different ramdisk

Install REPENCIES ROM PLUS REPENCIES KERNAL it has all support u need.
U cank also use darktremer app2sd . Its much better then link2sd & can transfer delvink also to sd.
Seach xda you will find everything
Thank you for helping me

Same problem, try to move to sd card, Moving Error, tried with 2 partitions on Floyo, tried in Gingerbread and...Nothing..
try Link2SD
download from android market, u must created second partitions with Fat32 format in Sd card, and need standart ROM 2.1 rooted
just run apps, reboot.. but u must move apps manually by open Link2SD >click >created link
I found app2sd didn't work for me. So I used link2sd in stead. Had to create a partition on SD card first there is a thread that I used to do it. I now have 400mb on the SD card just for apps.
But you need to have full root to do it.

It did'n work for me, too.
But I tried, and figured out how to install it.
First, you need to partition your SD-card. Second, do the method, that they wrote, but when you open the adb shell, first write "su", and accept it on your phone. Then you can begin to run the script. This way, I could install it.
I've tried several times before, without the "su" command in the beginning, it doesn't work without it. Now, I'm happy, because it's working and I have some free space on my device
if ext2 doesn't work, try use ext3 partition for apps2sd
vice versa
Just give it a try again.

Guys be sure you have 2.1.1.A.0.6, otherwise it won't work cous of kernel dependencies.

okay first tell us what ROM are you using, what app2sd type that u try to use (native or with ext partition), and what steps have you took?
ps: if u're using racht's 2.2.1 ROM (that i think you do), app2sd with ext partition works perfect. just use app2sd.sh with moved dalvik-cache that someone posted in development section.
For me a clean installation and following the given steps carefully works. Floyo 0.15 has native app2sd and it works for sure
I use Link2SD. It is a pain in the a$$ when you update or move to SDcard but it works.
Steps to get it work: (For Windows and Noobs users only)
1. Download the Link2SD app from store
2. Download and install this program (it will make the partitions of your card) from here (it's free)
3. Connect your phone as a USB (mount your card)
4. Follow this video (it's not mine), but do not leave space for a "Linux Swap" partition (unless you want it)
5. Reboot your phone.
Tested and it works!
P.S.: I think that even if i had an EXT3 partition the Link2SD worked when i ckecked the EXT2 partition (in it's set up). Can someone confirm that?

[Q] Using Link2sd in jellyblast

hey someone please tell me how can i use link2sd in JELLBLAST V3.0.1
IT shows that the sd-ext can't be mounted.
Please solve this problem
I have attached the image.
1) Try setting the mount script partition to ext2/ext3/ext4 and see if anyone of them makes the mount successful (it doesnt matter with which partition it mounts with)
2) Did you partition your sd card correctly? Mention more about how you did it..

I used Minitool partition wizard home edition to partition my sd card. set the partition as fat32...didnt really like the idea and after trying a new rom, and going back to jellyblast v3.01, i removed several apps(link2sd included) by uninstalling them through titanium backup, and then used install manager v3.5.1 to move my apps to my unpartitioned sd card
I partioned my sd card using minitool...

Jelly blast has kuro kernel, it supports Link2sd, dont use mini tool, it complicates things, make it the easy way, go to CWM -> Advanced-> Partition SD card -> Give 2nd partition space-> swap as 0 and then wait till it get partitioned, now try mounting ext3 in link2sd, it must work

The post is actually not aligned properly which makes people confuse.
Just download savies kernel rev 73 modded by Ronnie (just look for the same title which is a download able link).
Copy it and Cwm by mad team or skin to sd card, go to recovery mode, first flash Cwm zip, and then flash the kernel zip, it shows a aroma installer, click default installation there, restart and done, check if you got 4 io s and 18 governors, if not flash again, this time choose custom installation and select all things, reboot and it will stick

Did you select all the governers in custom installation?
Wait, after flashing savies kernel, you get a permanent CWM, in which you need to click mount/system in mounts and storage option EVERYTIME you flash a zip, either it be a ROM/Kernel/Anything, ALWAYS mount/system when using savies kernel CWM

[SOLVEDL]Y not booting with kuro kernel

Heyyyy buddies
I was using ussrv5+kuro kernel 1+ akurodata2sd
Today I thought of uninstalling games and apps cause of 12th board, cet, aieee...
After uninstalling 32 apps...
I open cf3d and uninstalled it my phone rebooted with lots of force closes then it stuck on splash screen
I restored my latest backup
Same fate
Went to internet cafe downloaded DDLF2 odin pack (thanks to sir docky73)
Flashed it and phone booted..
After that restored my backup and wow it booted...
Bt kernel was stock one
My all apps were gone...
So I flashed kuro kernel and again it stucked at splash screen
So I flashed stock kernel
Now all my apps are gone..
They were in 2nd partition
So which kernel should I flash????
And worst thing
I heard a conversation in my cell
Stock Kernel to battery: Babes I am gonna eat you
Battery:noooooooo!!!!! Somebody plzzz save me

Use savies rev 73, the easiest to install and user-friendly kernel yet with very good performance imo..I had problems booting with kuro kernel for some ROMs (having custom kernels), but with savies kernel never had a problem
Merruk Dev 7 would be the best performing kernel out there, but a bit tricky to get it installed..
thats's akuro failure. the phone didn't boot because the data inside ext partition is different with the one used by system. you must delete /data folder inside your sdcard partition to boot up. after that you can copy /data/data into /system/sd/data as usual. if you don't know how to delete /data folder inside your sdcard, the easiest way is reformat your partition.

for safety reason you can delete (or copy into somwhere else) all files in your init.d folder and wipe 2nd partition. after that you can move your tweaks into init.d again. this step might a lil bit inconvenient but in this way we could boot up the system succesfully and easily diagnose the problem source.

umm...you better don't touch any of them. you can copy /data/data to /system/sd/ to activate dt2sd function and prevent system to write your original /data partition but you'd better don't delete/modify them

Terminal command to wipe 2nd partition plzzz
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
Code:
su
mount -t extX -o nosuid,nodev /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
note:
1. extX - replace X with your type partition
2. its mmcblk[zero]p[two]
after executing these command you can go to /system/sd then delete all files there. if you don't have any app backup you can move the /app content to your sdcard. in this way you can reinstall all your app later.

[Q] Link2SD not linking to SD Card 2nd Partition

I followed the tutorial by Sir CarlDeanCatabay to increase the Internal Memory by partitioning SD Card using Mini-Tool Partition Wizard. I first made my 2nd Partition as EXT4(as Merruk 2.5 supports EXT4), but, Link2SD was unable to mount script. I tried with both EXT2 and EXT3, but, the same result came. I saw another external tutorial which said to make the 2nd Partition FAT32; I did, and Link2SD was able to mount. I installed some Apps and LWPs, and Link2SD said that it was link to the SD Card. When I looked upon the Storage Info in Link2SD Menu, I saw my 2nd Partition as same as it was at first, but, my Primary Android-SD(it was set as Active during partition) was filled with 35 MB out of my knowledge.. Isn't link2sd linking my apps to the 2nd Partition and instead doing so to SD Main? If so, what should I do? Thanks!

[Q] internal memory is full ...... help me

how to set external memory as default installation path &
how to install and play apps on external memory
im using galaxy y GT s5360
please give proper help ... step by step solution
Root your phone if not already rooted (search how to)
Flash a kernel that can support ext4 partitions (if on stock based rom Use hells fusion #50 kernel -search dev section for links & instructions) Copy all sd files to pc
go into cwm on phone goto advanced & partition sdcard Partition sdcard with min of 1024mb ext partition
Copy sd card files back to phone
Install link2sd (playstore)
Open link2sd mount 2nd partition as ext4 (other kernels may vary)
restart
open link2sd
select app & create link
For more details search for link2sd
Link2SD has some complicated steps and requires 2 partitions in SD card. If you don't want to do it and you have root go to play store, search Force2SD(root).
Please note that by moving app to sdcard, you can't use its widget.(if any)

To me, the most easily is move apps to sd card with Titanium Backup or similar.
You cant use an A2SD script. What it does it puts your internal memory to your newly formatted ext4 partiton on your sd card. But it's a little bit complicated, since you need to modify you boit.img, and it may not always work. The second option is to download "mounts to sd" from goigle play, but you need root and kernel with init.d support.

If you are on stock ROM & Kernel...first root your phone & then install 2 apps from play store:-
1.Link2SD
2.Universal Init.D
Open Universal Init.D & enable Init.D support
Then download CWM & reboot to recovery & then:-
1.Select Install zip from SD & select CWM...now CWM will open
2.Select advanced
3.Select Partition SD card
4.On ext size select 1024MB (it is the max recommended size)
5.On swap select 0 M
6.Now SD card will be partitioned & formatted
7.Reboot your phone
8.Open Link2SD & choose the second partition of your SD card as EXT3
9.Reboot your Phone
10.Now start linking all your apps to the SD card & free up internal memory & you will be able to installl many apps now
Here's a video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEtSyLwUTCw
1. root your phone
2. use link2sd(from playstore) to move apps to SD-card
internal memory full ?
well if ur internal memory is full , ransfer your apps to sd card via
1) link2sd
or the best is
2) TITANIUM BACKUP PRO
Take a backup of the apps that are installed on your phone. Search in google play for those apps which provide backup. Plug your phone to the computer and copy each and every file because you are going to format your SD card to increase the storage. If your device is not rooted, you have to then root it first. Search on XDA for rooting guides. Make sure you have ClockWorkMod recovery file is on SD card.Then after that follow the following steps:
1. Install Link2Sd app
2. Reboot your phone and goto recovery mode
3. Install ClockWorkMod
4. Clear Cache
5. Mount Everything that can be mounted
6. Goto Advanced > Partition SD Card
7. Choose below 1024MB as it causes some issues
8. Set Swap size to 0MB
9. After doing, reboot your phone.
10. Goto Link2sd and select recreate mount scripts and it will automatically reboot your phone.
Now you can get more internal storage. You can now restore your backup that you have made in computer back to the phone.
P.S. I am not responsible for any damage that occurs to your phone or SD card. I just provided a solution.
