Apps and storage management

Link2SD

When using SD-Cards bigger than 32GB be aware of the following problems:

Summary according to the above post (thanks to user "regli"):

  • all partitions need to start in the first 32GB
  • link2sd insists that the ext2/ext4 partition is the second partition
  • create a small Linux swap partition first (32MB)
  • then add a ext2 Apps partition (as /system often is only 2GB use e.g. 2, 4 or 6 GB)
  • there should directly follow a fat32 Data partition of your desired size
  • leave spare, unallocated room for overprovisioning
  • finally mark the fat32 partition "active" by setting the boot flag
e.g. SD-CARD 64GB

File Manager

Best file manager for me: ES File Explorer

Problems with accessing the SD Card:
