Root [Boost Mobile] Link2sd problem

[Spiyder]

I cant get link2sd to work. I have an ext4 partition at 1gb. When i attempt to mount the script it says failed to mount script, divice or resource busy......any ideas?

Stock kernal doesn't support sd-ext or init.d scripts, so until a custom kernal can be made, no go

I'm curious as to why Link2SD would even be necessary on this device with its generous internal storage.

right mrsboots i second that. there is no need

 

[Spiyder]

I see thanks for the info.

And i want to use l2sd while i test roms, etc. If all my apps are on the sd i just have to recreate the symbolic links. Should be faster than titanium every time.

Titanium Backup pro is pretty fast

When playing with different ROMs I'm assuming you're doing a full wipe in between flashes which would also wipe the sdext so it's moot. Backup is better.

 

[Spiyder]

No im removing the sd card before wipe so its not exactly moot.

Ah... The need to use Link2SD is that due to a bug in the android OS, since 2.3.5, once there are n apps stored on the SD card, the phone goes into an infinite reboot loop. There appears to be no fix forthcoming in the immediate future, and not so much as even an acknowledgement of the bug from Google, Sprint, or Samsung. It is reproducible. Just google it, and you will see for yourself. I am a bit of an app junkie; it's happened to me...

I know this thread is old, but for those who want to use the app or other that do similar things, you just need to format the extension to FAT32, and the script will run.
