Hi madmack,

I'm the author of the app2sd patches. Would you mind sharing what functions you are calling in the framework? I've only changed the package moving functions in the framework and removed checks for primary storage in Volume::mountVol in vold.

Personally, I'm thinking it was a CM issue that was resolved before you compiled. I've tested the 20130826 official build for jfltetmo, which had permission issues.
[Android Software Development] madmack:
I'm not calling any API for the remounting of sdcards, i'm simply umounting and then mount with 000 umask, fmask and dmask in a shell. One lazy way to see which of your commits broke FM is to to use something like git bisect if you're using git.
[Android Software Development] chenxiaolong:
Are you unmounting the sdcards? If so, I believe that would conflict with Android's app2sd functionality. It basically bind mounts /storage/sdcard1/.android_secure to /mnt/secure/asec and the mounts a tmpfs of /storage/sdcard1/.android_secure (to prevent access to the encrypted containers). There's no way to unmount a filesystem when there's other stuff mounted within it, right?

I don't think there's anything I can do about that considering that's how Android was designed to work.

EDIT: What I'm talking about (code from official CM): https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_system_vold/blob/cm-10.2/Volume.cpp#L684
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Yea, you're right. But I just downloaded and compiled yesterday's nightly (the commit you reference is from 4 days ago), and it worked fine. Something else must be happening on your specific ROM.

Never mine, that's the upstream function that actually binds secure to the internal sd. You're changing that, FM doesn't work. Got it. I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done. If you got your fixes merged upstream, I'll look into it, but otherwise I can't fix FM to work with your patches.
[Android Software Development] chenxiaolong:
Thanks for the reply. I'll try to workaround the issue on my end then (allow disabling the secure containers). As long as SD can be unmounted then FM will work right?
[Android Software Development] madmack:
Yep.

Is mounting ".secure" that beneficial ? I didn't think it contained big data. Maybe I'm wrong.
[Android Software Development] Sean09:
Hey guys, I recently updated my Xperia Tab Z from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. When I ran foldermount it detected this and asked to update my card location. Since then as soon as I try to hit the pushpin and mount anything it causes a reboot. Cant seem to find a solution. Any ideas?

I see others had issues but im on stock, not cm.

Edit, the rebooter above seems to have fixed it after I removed busybox and retried.
[Android Software Development] chenxiaolong:
Awesome, thanks!

The .android_secure only contains apk files moved from /data/app, no data (that's where FM is very useful). You're right though. Usually the apks are not very big. But some people wanted that feature from the stock ROM, so I patched CM to enable it.
[Android Software Development] htcsensation:
It says that it will trick the system but when I check free size it shows me with gb on it.

Can you tell me why ?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
How are you checking the size? All apps will see files in both locations, so any app that calculates the used space based on the files present is going to get one of them wrong. This might even include the system's default (Settings->Storage).
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
Guys I am having a heck of a time finding where the 1.6 GB of my 2GB is being taken up at and how to move it. This thread has an overwhelming amount of material. Can someone help me?
[Android Software Development] DeathEvil:
install disk usage and find out, its that simple
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
Thanks!!! Guessing that is free in the app store so let me look. Thanks again! Will it tell me the folders to look for and stuff?

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

Not sure what I am looking for. I see:

1. storage/sdcard0/ (blue)

2. System data (green)

3. Free space (green)

That is when I click on com folders. Can I move those? Like storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
You can move any arbitrary folder anywhere you want and link them with Folder Mount. FM will do the hard work on any insecure locations (anything on the SD card); however, you have to manually move any files from secure locations (anything in /data).
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
I just want to be sure because I moves some stuff before and really messed things up. Thank goodness for back ups. So will I mess anything up if I move things from data?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Depends on what you move. Most files on the /data partition need to have specific user, group, and permission properties in order for the app to work properly.
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
So basically that's a no? Because they seem to be taking up the most space. If I am reading things correctly with this app which I am not 100% sure I am, actually I am not at all sure I am. All I really know is out of the 4GB on the L9 really only 2GB is free and out of that I have 1.6GB being taken up by something. I'm really sorry but this is my first Android phone EVER so I am a COMPLETE NOOB!!! :silly:
[Android Software Development] DeathEvil:
First you want to go to system storage and find out how much space is unaccounted for (total space minus all the fields below). The missing space will raise in a root partition most likely data so in disk usage you will select root and data. After that it will clearly show you what's taking the space
[Android Software Development] Olioaglio:
Just my 2 cents, though it is maybe not a solution for using FM: IMO in storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia there is nothing you need to conserve. Most likely you will find the temporary install apk files of the amazon store there which take up a lot of space. If the apps are installed you won't need the apk files there anymore and can safely delete them.

Olioaglio
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
Thanks that is somewhat helpful.

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

APKs are taking up a ton of room but I can't seem to get to them. Any ideas how?
[Android Software Development] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
Has anyone mounted the whole Obb folder? Would it be wise to do so?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] egingell:
If there's nothing in files/apks, then there are none.
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
But Disk Usage says there is something there. Shows the apk files and they are taking up a lot of room. In Disk Usage it shows Storage, Apps then the different apps are showing large APKs.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Yes, several people in this thread alone. Whether it's wise or not is subjective and circumstantial.

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

You can delete the folder with Disk Usage by clicking the folder, hit the menu key, then click Delete - it won't change anything if there are no files in there, but maybe your file explorer just isn't seeing the files for whatever reason. You can also rescan to make sure it has an accurate scan.
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
I see the APK and can click it but when I hit menu the delete option is greyed out.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
You can also delete the folder with a file manager. I probably should have mentioned that as well.
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
Trying to find them with Root Explorer and can't.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
The folder itself. Not the APKs that may or may not be in there. If you can't even access that folder with Root Explorer, then you have bigger problems.
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
I can get in folders but there are no APKs there. If I go to system/app I see a bunch of APKs there. Can those be deleted?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Delete... the... folder... :|

Edit: Requesting clarity: Do you mean the folder /sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia/files/apks is not there or that there are no APKs in said folder?
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
Yeah. Other folders the same but they don't have the apk folder
[Android Software Development] ryangco:
Hey there. I have a question regarding "mount -o bind".

I have mounted DCIM folder to extSD.

My problem is, the gallery shows up two folders.

And my question is, how to hide folders in extSD?
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
So no ideas on where I can locate these APKs that Disk Usage is showing me? I mean they show in Disk Usage but the delete option is greyed out. Are they just phantom or some kind of ghost images and that's why I can't delete them?
[Android Software Development] Olioaglio:
If they are located in system/app and/or in data/app they are no ghost images but active and needed apps. You should not delete them. Period.

Olioaglio
[Android Software Development] realhuh:
.. the .nomedia empty file ..
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
Sorry I was talking about the other ones that Disk Usage shows as being under apps and then in each app folder. Not in the system folder but in the Android folder. Suggestions?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
That will make the media scanner ignore both paths.

There is an option when setting up the pairs to remove one path from the media storage... use it, that's why it's there.

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

What do you get when you use Root Explorer and long tap the "apks" folder and click Properties? (screenshot if possible)
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
In Disk Usage I see, for example, Storage Card, Apps, Chrome and then inside Chrome APK, Data and Cache. Chromes APK is large and apparently unnecessary but I can't find where it is with Root Explorer.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
I don't know what you mean by APK in this context.

I've attached a screenshot using Root Explorer which shows the path to my Amazon Apps' apks folder (at the top). Does it match where you're looking?
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
Trying to share a screenie but it just keeps saying "Waiting response..."
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
I see this:
[Android Software Development] egingell:
That screenshot is tiny, but it looks like your using "Storage card". "Apps" shows you your apps, not where they are. Go to "media" instead. Then "Android". Then "data".

Side note: Disk Usage is weird and behaves differently on both of my phones.
[Android Software Development] Olioaglio:
Getting extreme off topic now and also seems senseless... I'm out.

Cheers, Olioaglio
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Off-topic for sure, but hardly senseless.
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
Not even sure if it is off topic. I was looking for the folders in an attempt to mount them but then it was suggested that I don't even need them since they are just APKs and once the program is installed the APK is unnecessary so no need to mount. All in the course of trying to figure out how things work with FM.

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

Will try that. Thanks!
[Android Software Development] ryangco:
I have done this manually using scripter because I've got no money to buy the FolderMount Pro. And I need to mount many folders..
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
Didn't find anything using that route. I did find a few using the search feature but I think the search is specific the folder you are in at the time and I'm not sure which folder I was in at the time. I will try going to the sdcard and just searching from the beginning and report back.
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
Ok I found a ton of APKs and excluding the ones under system I deleted them and the phone went crazy! Fortunately I backed up before and am restoring now. Will keep checking and trying. I thought once installed the APK's were kind of useless but I guess not.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Don't just delete random APKs - those are your apps. If they're in /system/app or /data/app, they need to stay there. Anywhere else is fine.
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
I think they were data/app. Not sure if I can fix this. Here's to hoping. I am using Titanium Backup but it keeps freezing at certain points.
[Android Software Development] egingell:
I find that TiB chokes when attempting to restore everything at once.
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
Yeah I got things mostly back to normal. CMW back up for sure next time though. Is it possible to move the entire data folder with FM since I can't delete those APKs without pooching my phone?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Yes, but it will break everything.

If you want to move the APKs, I suggest Link2SD.
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
I thought Link2SD didn't work on the L9?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
How do you figure?
[Android Software Development] Oblition:
Love this app. Allowed me to download my entire comic collection from the marvel app. Alas, since this damn 4.2.2 update xperia tablet z the mounts just cause the app to crash. I noticed in my file browser that the file system and paths had changed, so set them up to no avail. Mounted the legacy and the emulator sd data folders as well as the one from root/data/data. App just crashes.

Any ideas?
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
What do you mean how do I figure? I didn't figure anything, I just thought I remembered hearing that it didn't work or there waas some disadvantage somewhere. (Maybe people just didn't like creating a second partition? Will I have to wipe my card if I do so?) If it works then great, I will try it. Will I be able to move the entire /data/app folder?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Link2SD moves individual apps. You can move as many or as few as you want.

The program recommended in Link2SD's thread won't wipe the card when adjusting the partition table.

[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
Ah ok thanks, that clears things up for me.

Now after my little incident before I got things restored on my phone but it seems more memory is eaten up. Strange thing is my computer shows only 86.4 out of 1.80GB and using Root Explorer it shows 1.58GB used and 186.46MB free. One has to be wrong and the second is especially puzzling. If 1.58GB is used shouldn't about 600MB be free? Any ideas?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
That has been addressed many times in this thread. Apps that calculate usage will add up what it sees not what's actually there.

Sent from my SGS4.
[Android Software Development] Blackman75:
So then what the computer sees is the correct space right?
[Android Software Development] egingell:
Yeah.

under "kernel wakelocks" it says "ste-gps-interface" 93.6 % but I almost never use gps.

then "vbus_present" 19.9%

"synet"3.2%

"powermanagerservice" 1.8 %

"radio-interface" 1.5%

"max8998-charger"0.1%

and the rest are 0%.

so what is "ste-gps-interface"? There are some threads on it. The only time I switch on gps is for this speedometer-radar detector app that I haven't used in months.

partial wakelocks are negligible.

Under alarms I am getting 61 wakeups for Yahoo mail which makes sense as I'm on too many email lists. I've now frozen the Ymail application since I don't want email notifications on my phone anyway. the next highest is 21 wakeups for maps and I don't know why that is.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Sounds like your ROM/kernel's GPS handler is screwed up.

My suggestion would be another flash of your ROM without a wipe, reboot to system, unlock phone and accept any SU request popups, wait 10 minutes, and then if you had a custom kernel reboot to recovery, flash your kernel, reboot to system, wait another 10 minutes... and check Better Battery Stats to see if GPS is still going nuts. If so, you'll probably need to wipe system and just follow those steps again.

Does anyone else get a lot of hissing in the background when using headphones on the Note 2? If I have my ear buds plugged in, the second I load an app with audio like Google music, it kicks in. When playing Audible.com books or listening to quiet tracks on an album like the Skyrim soundtrack, the hiss can be almost as loud as the audio.
