Xanders....elegale here. Seeing as we av a lotta newbies here...many of them lost as lost can be, my advice wud b to post this whole thing on a brand new thread. Post d GB we're supposed to download, post d stock ROM, post as many screenshots as possible, then post a super comprehensive tutorial (even those wey no go sch suppose understand am), and then post a link to the thread here, so that this one can be retired. That way, u'll be able to track user responses and stuff like that. #justasuggestion.

wale0911: weldone bro, but i got problem with getting it done. I couldnt locate sdext rather what i saw was sdext2,,,, i tried using it notwithstanding,,,, when i long click it i still couldnt see the "create link",,,,,,, pls do expantiate on this bro,,,, thanks

If link2sd created ur mount scripts correctly and u restarted ur fone MANUALLY, u shud see sdext, nt sdext2. U shud copy those 4 folders into sdext. And u shud long press on d folders INSIDE sdext...not on d sdext itself. Scroll down to d end of d options dat pop up as a result of ur long click. Itz d last option there.

- Link2sd...application...can be gotten from google play store.
- Root Explorer...application...can be gotten from google play store.
- sdext...2nd partition on ur mem card dat only d fone can see. It is created using a tool such as mini partition tool wizard.
- ext3...d file system type of ur 2nd partition (as opposed to fat32 for d 1st partition).
- swapper2...application...can be gotten from google play store.
- linuxswap...file system of the 3rd partition when you partition your memory card.

<Br> <Br>
Read d post well and follow accordingly. D partitioning is done wiv a computer system with Mini tool partition wizard installed.

aIIkae: I hav used the two.....what mount2sd basically does is to move the entire content of ur internal memory(excluding system apps and files) to sd-ext. So ur internal memory is freed up.
But u need to reboot after each action.
Link2sd is much more flexible as it doesn't really require a reboot to move ur apps. And it autolinks new apps. BUT it doesn't move files completely from internal.
Mount2sd can make ur phone bootloop.
But overall I prefer link2sd...it does the job well if u know how to manage it. Just link ur apps regularly and ur internal won't get filled up.


Dude, u're still in d stone age. U're still talking "linkin' when we r talking "total freeing up, permanently". Look for my post on internal memory. Dat shud clear ur doubt. I'm currently running on 172MB free internal storage.

Well, when you are done working, do remember to post d following:

1. Detailed steps on how to go abt it...not just vague procedures.
2. Screenshots (very important)
3. Known (and foreseen) bugs.
4. Where and when u av tested (or not tested) it and results.

U avnt tested it...and u're releasing it for public consumption. That is just great. First of all, no recovery is 308kb. 2ndly, even if it is, it shud be in .img format.

Sorry,was a little hurry in me last post,i was.
What me means is...
Each time i install it gives any error saying "script improperly executed on last boot"
An trying to decide between m2sd and samo ol l2sd

Use link2sd. If it keeps givin u error...uninstall it, reboot ur fone, reinstall, reboot ur fone. Create mount scripts, reboot ur fone MANUALLY (not from link2sd). If after this, u still get the error, den open settings and den choose "recreate mount scripts"...den reboot manually. Any other probz, jes lemme knw.

Elegale post a guide thru for installing mount2sd as I want to port it into the GB final

#confusedMuch. I dnt understand "installin mount2sd". I use link2sd...and u can jes install as is...if u wanna port it, jes make it a system app after u install it. Since u av root access...use root explorer to go to /data/app and look for d link2sd entry. Copy that file to /system/app. Den delete the one in /data/app. Reboot ur fone after. Link2sd is nw integrated.

aIIkae: Iv noticed that if i wipe data after flashing, my phone will bootloop after a few restarts. Tried it on anoda n3. Same.


Errmmmm....u r supposed to wipe data and cache immediately after flashin...even before u boot ur fone. If u get boot loop, den probably u flashed d wrong img into boot. Make sure u flash boot.img into boot and recovery.img into recovery.

Berryman: But one tin: is one supposed to link d data folder? I think its supposd to be exclusively 4 internal.

D idea behind this is that d 4 folders (which are d folders u fone runs off, technically) are moved to d second partition of ur sdCard..and den shortcut links are placed in their former positions.

Lemme use an illustration: u wanna install a software, say microsoft office, on windows. If u go to advanced install, u can specify where to install d office, other than the regular c:/program files. D same idea is used here. When d fone needs a data file, it goes to d default data location where it will see the shortcut link, dat eventually takes it to d location of d file. Dats why if u notoce very well, ur internal memory isn't ENITRELY empty. Dat 1MB or 2MB dat u see are just links. D main files/folders r in ur sdext.

Plus, ur data folder (out of those 4 folders) is what really takes up space on ur internal mem.

Here's how to increase the internal memory of your Tecno N3, using Link2SD.

TOOLS NEEDED:
- Link2SD
- Rooted Device
- Root Explorer
- SDEXT on your SDCard (preferably EXT3, but anyone is cool)



PROCEDURE:
NOTE: this is assuming that neither link2SD has been installed nor your memory card has been partitoned and your apps have been linked, prior to this. Please, back up your phone. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG WITH YOUR PHONE. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING, OR NOT SURE OF ANY OF THE STEPS, "ASK QUESTIONS". IF YOU ARE SCARED, RUN TO YOUR MUMMY.

Follow the instructions carefully.

1. Partition your mem card into 2 partitions using Mini Tool Partition Wizard (or 3, for those who will use swapper). The first partition is FAT32, the second is EXT3 (u can use EXT2 or EXT4, but preferably EXT3) and for those who have a 3rd partition, Linux Swap. All partitions must be marked as PRIMARY. U can use any size you want for your second partition...I used 2GB.

2. install Link2SD
3. Open Link2SD
4. Choose your EXT partition type (depending on what u created in step 1)
5. Restart your fone manually (not from Link2SD)

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
NOTE: If you get an error (mount script not created.....), don't panic. Just restart your fone manually. Den go back to Link2SD, Options >> More >> Recreate mount scripts. Den restart your fone manually.
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

6. Open link2SD and go to settings
7. Uncheck ALL options.
8. Exit Link2SD

9. Open root explorer (remember, your fone needs to be rooted)
10. Go to /data/sdext, delete everything u see in there.
11. Go back to /data.
12. Using the multi-select option, CAREFULLY select the following folders:
•app
•app-private
•dalvic-cache
•data
13. Go back to /data/sdext and paste.
14. Go out of /data/sdext and then go back into it.

Now, this is the most important...yet most dangerous part.

15. Create a link to the APP folder. This is done by long-pressing d folder, scroll down the options that pop up and choose "Link to this folder". Den go back to /data and choose "create link". A warning will pop up (app folder exists...do you want to replace......or something like that sha). Choose "YES".

16. Repeat this step for the remaining 3 folders.

17. Restart your fone TWICE. PLS DO NOT USE YOUR PHONE UNTIL YOU HAVE RESTARTED IT TWICE.

18. After that, check your internal storage.

Voila.



**side-effects** Longer boot time (depending on the apps you have installed), but what is boot time compared to memory space...abi??



Also, i believe this trick works for most android fones...since the basic underlying technology is the same...but if u have large internal memory, u wouldnt need it...just except thou art greedy.


**ahem** Dazzol.





SideNote...abeg, make nairaland make mobile app. Following these threads is becoming a chore. Thanx.

Der is a way to move all ur apps to ur 2nd partition using link2sd and root explorer. Risky, cos if u don't do it well, #phoneBrick...buh it wrks. Currently aving 2GB as my internal memory and all my apps (and I mean ALL) are installed on "internal". Only my large games (like MC4) are on Mem card.

Current usage of 2nd partition: 538MB / 2048MB.
