[SOLVED] Link2SD running on ext3 partition for XT720

---

Hello everyone!

Today with the help of the developer of Link2sd, Mr. Bulent Akpinar I managed to install Link2SD using a ext3 partition on my Milestone XT720 (USA).

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE

A)

You have to be rooted, use Universal Androot:

B)

Then partition sdcard using Minitool Partition Home Edition:

*All partitions created have to be Primary partitions*

I) Create FAT32 partition
II) Ext3 (to avoid problems make not bigger than 512 mb)
III) Linux Swap (not necessary)

*After creating those partitions "Flag" or "Label" FAT32 partition as *Boot*.

C)

I used Root Explorer

D)

Download ext3.zip.

E)

1)Extract ext3.zip file and copy files to /system/lib/modules/ using Root Explorer -make sure when using Root Explorer you have enabled Mount R/W button.

F)

Edit install-recovery.sh at /system/etc exactly like below:

#!/system/bin/sh
#added by link2sd
sleep 2
insmod /system/lib/modules/jbd.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/ext3.ko

mount -t ext3 -o rw /dev/block//vold/179:2 /data/sdext2

mount -t ext3 -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2



****Again, use Root Explorer, it has a Text Editor****

Sorry for stressing so much the use of Root Explorer but other apps do not let you edit install-recovery.sh

I have provided my edited install-recovery.sh from stock rom. If you have other rom then try to edit yours first as install-recovery.sh may be different.

After all this changes, REBOOT your phone, and install Link2SD.

Enjoy!
