Default [Fixed] How to regain phone memory using LINK2SD.

So....I created an Ext2 partition on my sdcard & installed Link2sd.
I then successfully created a Link to an app residing in phone memory...but i can't find any space being freed in my phone memory.
Can someone pls put some light in this regard...

If ur ext is correctly mounted, u'll have ur internal space...

Hi KiraXce,

I created a link as u said but could see space being reduced In both phone memory & ext2 partition. Is this how Link2sd works ???
I don't think there's any problem with my Ext2 Partition.

ur ext space should decrease but not the internal...make sure that ur dalvic cache is linked(if not, do a re-link dalvic cache in option and reboot), it'll give more space...

Internal memory doesn't show up as freed until you reboot. You can do a quick reboot directly from Link2SD. That's probably what your issue is.

Not sure if the Reboot worked for me...but now i can see some space being freed in phone memory after linking an app.
Thanx KiraXce & Toy187 for the suggestions

For all you guys who face some or the other issue with Link2SD...i suggest you go ahead with S2E, itz far less complicated than Link2SD & does what it has to do with total ease

Download S2E (Simple2Ext) from Google Play
