MMhh... just adding a little piece. I realized that I nver had Busybox installed. (!) Perhaps this can be the solving item?

Busybox, supersu, and towelroot must be installed. Make sure so let busybox installed the rest of its files from within the app as well after you get it. Yes it might be
 
Hi guys, thank you for the instructions.
I'm having a problem and I'd appreciate if you guys could lend me a hand.

I'm stucked at the step when start the app LINK2SD and enter the file type I created in SD partition (Ext4). The app shows "Please wait" stuff and it does nothing else. I went to sleep and when I woke up it was still the same. I tried with Ext2 but had no success either. Could you guys help me out?

Note: I rooted the phone through Toweltool and installed SU and Busybox from play store.

It sounds like your ext4 was not created correctly. It should be the 2nd partition on your SD card. And it must be Primary/Active.

Hey, thank you for the quick respsonse!

I changed the partition format EXT4 and Primary/Active as you said, and it recognized and mounted the script! I'm linking the apps now. Thank you very much!!

Note: I had some "mount" issues as I tried to build the 2nd SD, so I tried Ext2, Ext3, primary/active or none, and finally what worked for me was Ext4 Primary/Active (but I had to wipe and format 2 times).
 
Thank you folks! After having uninstalled Link2sd, installed properly Busybox, reinstalled and correctly configured Link2sd... voila, game is over!

The ext4 must be active (boot flag) and the fat32 not active? AFAIK there can only be one active partition (with MBR type). I've been trying to move my files from a 16gb card to a 64gb card and link2sd says mount script failed when I try to recreate the mount scripts.

I've tried the Linux DD command and windows win32diskimager, both create an unrecognized ext partition.
 
Been playing around with link2sd and noticed significant performance increase when apps internal data is not linked. When only the first 3 options are checked boot time is drastically improved. All my widgets and icons are loaded in around 45secs, when I had apps internal data linked it took around 3 1/2 to 4 mins. So if your buying the pro version for this feature,....

That has been my experience as well, but this was on a class 2 or 6 card ( it was too small to read the number). It wasn't just the system boot and programs launch that was slow, the program ran very slow as well (it was chrome ).

I'd like to know if a class 10 card is as fast as launching from internal memory. When it's connected to my computer via usb, I can read files from the SD card faster than internal.

Your phone's internal memory is way faster then a class 4 or a class 10 micro SD card, if your micro SD had the full load of the phone on it,meaning the ROM and user partitions then you would feel the the difference. And the reason its reads faster when connected to internal is because the whole load of the ROM is on it while its serving up media
 
I am using a class 6 card. Launching programs from SD card may be slower. But it is definitely not 45 sec vs 4 min slow.

That's because I had apps internal data linked as well (74)apps 1411514167701.jpg
Those numbers are boot times not how long it took to launch an app
 
guys hope you have an answer for this

I got my lg l70 on July, I rooted it but I am unable to use my SD card as external, I can save only photos but I want to use it to store games and apps, I have done everything I have done before with other phones but looks like nnothing work. I used link2sd, fouldermount and a bunch of apps. I have also tried different SD cards.

This is frustrating because I can't install anything! the 1.5 GB are almost full with practically nothing.

Is there something I am doing wrong? or what is the issue with this thing?

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
so i want to be able to set the second partition as google plays default location to install, not external becuse that wont work
 
I had some problems working with link2sd on my L70. I was not able to mount the sd card I've partitioned on my linux with parted command line app.
The setup that eventually worked for me was:
  • Installed aparted app from play store on my android device
  • made 2 partitions :
    • first primary partition is fat32
    • second partition was ext4 (ext2 and ext3 didn't worked - mounted - on link2sd)
Hope it helps.

I can't tell you how much this helped, it not only works for the LG L70 but pretty much any android device, also, i will note, i partitioned my SD card using Tails OS. Now i can download a ton of movies on my son's Tab 3 Thanks, Dan
 
Link2sd always ended up with the error : Mount script failed to create no such file or directory...app2sd wprls perfectly for me on d325 variant with Lineage OS 14.1 Official....even linking google apps like maps , google app , photos etc works just uncheck lib files option in App2SD otherwise it crashes... And also dont try linking system apps it doesn't work..
Hope i helped someone...
