Link2sd / foldermount not working

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

[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.

Yes for linking apps to sd depending on kernel support & selecting the correct mount scripts in link2sd
No for swap - you need a swap partition but swap is pointless anyway - There is no need for it & in my opinion you will get no benefit

Thanks for replying,
By the the time I was waiting for some reply I tried out Roehsoft Ram Expander for swap.
Is there any other way for increasing internal memory only?

Only by creating virtual storage on your sd card & linking apps to it - you already have an ext partition
If you mean ram then no - nothing that will make the phone suddenly super fast

Yes Iv already said
If the ext partition was created properly & you using a kernel that supports it (don't ask me for suggestions) & you select the appropriate mount script in link2sd

I have set the default install location in link2sd to internal, confirmed using command
pm getInstallLocation
1(Internal)
But still certain apps get installed to the sdcard. If the apps get installed to the sdcard link2SD cannot auto link newly installed apps. In A2SD GUI it shows apps on internal. How do I force the apps to get installed on the internal storage?
Do I need to activate zipalign on boot in a2sdgui?

You can't force an app to install anywhere - only ask it to but if it's manifest states to install it somewhere that's where it will be installed
Of course you can decompile the apk & edit the manifest resign the apk & install it however you won't be able to update the app via playstore without uninstalling the modded version first
Best to just manually link what you want

Did the same and working properly but swap is not activating and auto deactivating cant extend ram by the method please suggest.

Either remove the mod if possible maybe a script in init.d or flash stock rom via odin & start again (see my firmware thread)
Also your kernel might not support this mod
Please don't ask me what does as I don't have your device

link2sd wont work
second partition wont mount automatically.
link2sd wont work after rebooting many times

Problem with link2sd

Hello,
I have a galaxy s4 ( i9505 ) with an external sd card samsung 32GB. So my problem appeared with the latest Update of Link2SD . I explain: wanting to link data from one application to the sd card space ( without ext2 partition) he said : Your device uses " sdcardfs " file system for its internal SD card. This one does not allow the attachment of a folder. You can not move the data and OBB ext. Link2SD can solve this problem by enabling the standard file system "fuse " of Android. ......... Want to continue? A reboot will be required. After I said yes and after restarting my ordeal began : all files in the external SD card appear intact but unusable : photos , documents the titanium backups etc. everything is there but inaccessible.
I copied all the files on pc but again they seem intact, but do not open .
Help me to just get photos and videos and thank you

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

Ok i am sorry
