for linking obb and external data;


- root permission

Second partition on SD card is optional, folders can be moved


to the rst or the second partition of the SD card.

Note:
When you connect your device to PC as mass storage,
Android unmounts the rst FAT partition but the second
partition remains mounted so the apps linked to this partition
are not a ected and can be run without problems.
But the apps which their obb and external data les have
been moved to the external storage don\'t work until the
mass storage is disabled and the external storage is
remounted on the device.

Link2SD also provides native app to SD (app2sd) feature of


Android OS. It can move any non-protected user apps to SD
card (force move), with batch moving capability.
That feature uses rst partition (normal FAT) of the SD card,
does not require a second partition.

Cache cleaner function clears all your cache and free up space
with a single tap. Also cache cleaner widget displays total
cache size and enables "one tap cache cleaning" without
opening the app.

Hello Guys,

I am a newbie for android OS. You stated that you can do this
SD partition stu with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home
Edition" (free). Sahll I have to use a lunix based pc? or Win Xp
is enough?

Besides, ext2 partition will be used for the apps. And SD card
also has another partition with FAT 16 format. So, what will be
ratio for these partitions? Let's say I owned a 8 gb SD card.

As a last question, We will rst install the apps to phone


memory. And then link it to SD card. Am i right?

thank you for your support.

Hello,

You can use windows machine for partition stu with


"MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition". It is a windows
application, supports Windows 2000/XP/Vista/windows
7 (32 bit & 64 bit) operating system.

There is no such a restricted ratio but 10% is


recommended. So if you have a 8GB card ~7.2GB for
FAT32 and ~800MB for ext2 would be ok.

Yes, rst install the application and then link it to SD


card with Link2SD.

thanks for your explanations. I have another concern. ext2 is
the partition used for applcation storage. (This is what i
understand, may be I'm wrong.) So for a 8GB SD card, I may
opnly use 800 MB storage for the applcations. Is this correct? I
mean the remaining 7GB is for only data storage? will it be
su cient for all of the applciations installed in the device? I
am a bit confused. Why dont we use more storage for ext2
partition?

Thanks,

Yes, ext2 partition is used for application apk les, 800MB will
be su cient.
You can go larger like 1024 MB if you want but 800MB gives
you plenty of room .

I have a rooted Samsung Moment with 2.1 on it, but thankfully
the devs at SDX have gotten apps2sd working and I've gotten
it installed.
1. Could this app still work even though I have 2.1?
2. I have an ext3 partition instead of ext2. Will it still work on
that?

problem im not sure what to do

Hey so i used link2sd and im not sure what happened, maybe


some1 can help. I have an ext2 partition and fat partition on
my sd card. So i linked a few games like angry birds to the
sdcard usnig links2sd. However after a reboot, the game no
longer shows up in my app drawer. and also doesnt show up
in link2sd anymore, hjowever link2sd shows that my ext2
partition now has 30% lled up. Any1 have any ideas as to the
problem?> I am on a droid 1, using cmod7 nightlies

When i try to mount the partition like in the /etc/ sd le, i get
a response from terminal statin, "mount: cant read /etc/fstab:
no such le or directory". I hope this helps more...

Sorry if I look stupid, but could someone provide a little more
of information of how exactly we have to make that
partition?, I already downloaded the app for windows but I
see too many options that have no idea what they are for...

My android is already rooted and the apk downloaded just


don't understand how the partition goes...

Thanx
