[Android Apps and Games] dying4004:
hi, did you get the answer why the apps are still showing in both places?

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Surpriser:
Hi, yes i did, what shows in /data/app is just a link of apk files. after installing many apps your internal storage is getting low, because it is used by dalvik cache and apps data. if you need more space you can move dalvik cache too ( in app setting check its checkbox) and you will see more huge free space. i have a class 10 memory card and did it and i'm happy with it!

one problem i am facing is that after enabling mounts2sd now when i try to copy something in my sd card its extremely slow.

its taking an hour to copy 20 mb files.

any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] xenithorb:
What are the implications of going into CWM recovery and wiping /cache and /data/dalvik-cache while using this script?

Is it rendered ineffective because CWM is unaware of the /sd-ext location?
[Android Apps and Games] py_martinez:
I own a HTC one m8, s on, rooted, with custom Rom (insertcoin ) , I followed exactly the instructions and bricked (temporarily) my device and lost my apps 3 times..

S on is a problem or not ?

Do I have to use super su or su ?

Do I have to make the 3 partitions (fat 32) ex fat and swap as primary?

Do I have to create a ext 2 or ext 4 partition I have a doubt....?

Thanks in advance

[Android Apps and Games] keen36:
no, formatting /cache and wiping dalvik should only make your phone re-do the dalvik cache on boot for all apps, which could take a minute or two.

if you wipe /system the mountscript is gone, and if you wipe /data the app is gone.

i am a noob, though, and could be horribly wrong :p

ext4: it depends on what the kernel you use is supporting. ideally, you would want ext4 with journaling off, if i understand correctly.

partitions: you need three partitions: the first should be for all your data, it should be fat32 so that poor windows computers can mount it, too. the second one should be your sd-ext, either on ext2 or ext4, depending on your kernel support. the last partition is your swap partition, i do not know which file system you should use there, probably linux swap if your kernel supports it, but i tried it and my kernel failed horribly. what i do know is that all three partitions need to be primary, and to be in that order.

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

what did you move to sd-ext? maybe your sd card is just overrun with requests?
[Android Apps and Games] pos_ei_don:
I have a lot of free space on all partitions, but when i try to update tapatalk, i get an errormessage (out of diskspace). A second app had the same problems, but i uninstalled it. Other and even bigger apps can be updated without problems.

Do you have any hint, what I can do?
[Android Apps and Games] dying4004:
i moved only applications.

i have a pretty fast sd card which has 70 MB/s read and 20 MB/s write.

if i go into cwm and copy a folder from internal memory to sd card then it goes very very fast.

but whenever i boot into android copy speed is amazingly slow.

even if i go into gallary the icons load really slow as well. takes almost 20 minutes to load 100 images.

so, i had to disable the m2sd for now.

any clue what can i do to resolve this?

do you guys need log?

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] keen36:
What is your setting for SD card read ahead? You only moved apks, nothing else, like the cache partition maybe? Did you activate a swap partition? Also, check settings in storage options, is your phone using mtp instead of ums maybe? Alas, mtp is ridiculously slow sometimes.
[Android Apps and Games] dying4004:
only application. nothing else.

i have activated swap partition.

sd read ahead is default. i have tried 128, 256, 1048 and 2048 and dint see much difference.

not only copy from pc but when i go into gallery it takes 10-15 minutes to create the thumbnails. and thumbnails disappears after some time randomly.
[Android Apps and Games] keen36:
yeah, you are right, mtp is not the problem when the gallery is slow... try disabling the swap partition in mounts2sd
[Android Apps and Games] dying4004:
tried disabling swap. tried with different settings in swap. still same.

so disappointing. such a potential app. :(
[Android Apps and Games] keen36:
strange... does the log of mounts2sd put out warnings (W) or errors? (E)?

i also think that this app has high potential, i especially like the flashable zip for after rom updates. although the installer has problems on my phone (aroma doesn't really work), it still does it's job :good:

i had problems with link2sd every single time i wiped dalvik or updated my rom.

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

i am not sure, but i think i had that problem once... try uninstalling the app, then search in /data for a part of the package name. IIRC in my case there was some file left in /data/data or /data/app or something. i deleted it, install went fine. of course you might lose your tapatalk settings and data if you do that!
[Android Apps and Games] dying4004:
UPDATE:

i have switched an old 16gb class 4 sd card with exactly same settings with my other sd card and everything is working as smooth as butter.

no problem at all. doesnt have a single hiccup.

dont know why it is happening but its working perfectly fine.

looks like its time to buy cheap 64 gb class 4 sd card. :D

i wouldn't be like that in your situation! i wouldn't be able to sleep until i have found an acceptable explanation c:

Issues with S-On on VanirASOP S7710

I wanted to try mounts2sd on [ROM][4.4.2]VanirAOSP[OFFICIAL][Samsung X Cover 2-GT-S7710] on my Skomer (Samsung X Cover 2-GT-S7710) and encountered the same problem as described above.

I've tried to follow TichDarkener advice but could not find the "recovery.zip" anywhere on my device (root/hidden/system-enabled file explorer search).

Finally I copied "fallback.zip" from /data/local/ to my SDcard and installed it manually with CWM 6.0.4.7 for Skomer and IT WORKED !! :cool:

I checked all possible content to be moved to SD (2nd, ext3 partition) and rebooted again. It took some ages at bootanimation before lockscreen but my Skomer storage looks now as follows. :good:

Big thanks for developing this extremely useful app!!

I hope my feedback will be at any use to You or other xCover2 users. Go go Skomer devices! ;)

After partioning sdcard...

i have 8gb and 4gb memory card i created partition of 4gb memory card 2gb for sdcard and 2gb for ext-sdcard.

2gb is not enough for sdcard :( so will i be able to use 8gb memory card instead of my 4gb partitioned(i.e2gb) after partition??? will it effect the ext-sdcard partition if i remove sdcard??

sorry bad english i know :p
[Android Apps and Games] TopperBG:
Pretty sure you lost everything if remove card or partition.

I suggest:

1. Re-partition* sd card in 3gb/1gb for exmpl

2. Copy like image old card to new card (8gb) and again re-partition*

3. Make backup (full backup) replace the card and restore image. Re-partition* again.

In all cases full backup is a must before do anything like this.

* MiniTool Partition Wizard will be sufficient

S-Off problem on I9100 (S2)

Hi,

I was using your application successfully on a very old phone (HTC Desire Bravo) running CyanogenMod Jelly Bean. Now I installed the CM 11 KitKat on Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 (snapshot M8). The CWM Recovery is CM 6.0.5.0. After installing the Mount2SD and trying to install the startup scripts I first get a message that:

"Your device is S-On protected which means that the applications cannot write to the system partition from within Android. Do you want to launch the recovery fallback handler?"

After I answer OK, something was being done, after what the following a message was given:

"Could not reboot the device into recovery mode due to limited toolbox binary."

What should I do to resolve the issue? Can I somehow turn S-Off on I9100 device, or what should I do to upgrade the "toolbox library"?

Thanks,

Aivars.
[Android Apps and Games] Traace:
Samsung ain't got "s-on" "s-off"
[Android Apps and Games] aolins:
Yes, but that's what application is saying! The question is how to overcome this in order to install the script?!
[Android Apps and Games] Traace:
Try to:

Change Rom(Guess some bugged there)

or

Provide a logcat and hope that dev will fix :)
[Android Apps and Games] dk_zero-cool:
Samsung does not have S-On no, but CM is using an old Busybox version that does not support new Android's device locks, which blocks /system from being remounted with Write permissions. M2SD should be updated to handle this manually at some point when I get the time, but for the time being, you could just download the recovery script from the OP and manually install the script from Recovery.

Mounts2SD can't see mounted external partition

Hi to everyone,

I installed latestet Mounts2SD 3.4.8 and I have a little problem. I use it in a Huawei Ascend G6 with Android 4.3.

Android mounts external sd partition (formatted in ext3) in /data/sdext2 but Mounts2SD in view tab in label "External" don't show it so program don't work. What I can do? I attached debug log and a picture.

Thank you in avance

[Android Apps and Games] Codeplayer:
Had the same problem, with false detection of S-ON and the app trying to install the script with the fallback option, then failing to boot into recovery due to a "limited toolbox binary". The solution is simple: I used the recovery-installed zip of the Mounts2SD that is available here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432479 After that, everything works. The phone that I tried this on was Samsung Xcover 2 GT-S7710 With CWM11 port Vanir (android 4.4.4)
[Android Apps and Games] productoglobal:
(arg... typing entire message for second time due to bad internet :/ )

I really like the concept of Mounts2SD because I think it will do exactly what I'm looking for: primarily I want a way to use my SD CARD as an EXT4 filesystem and not the flaky exFAT or FAT32 that my phone wants to do by default.

I have a BLU Advance 4.0 with Android 4.2.2. Unfortunately I can't do any custom roms on this (that I'm aware). I have backup up my apps and data with Titanium Backup, but not sure how to backup the phone ROM if I somehow bork it. The phone is rooted btw.

I'm pretty fluent with linux and partitioning, and I've repartitioned my external SD several times trying different things. I'm using gparted (linux) and also AParted (free in Play Store) -- both seem to do the job equally well.

Currently I have it setup like this:

partition 1: Primary in FAT32 format, 256 meg

partition 2: Primary in EXT4 format, ~15.75 gig (all remaining space)

The issue is that Mounts2SD doesn't seem to do anything at all. I have installed the startup scripts, though I'm not sure if I have active init.d support (how can I check this?)

I did however try to manually mount sd-ext from the root commandline, using both standard mount commands as well as invoking your script. I am still unable to get it to mount the EXT4 partition at all.

I'm attaching the debug file here. Thanks in advance for any help or tips.
[Android Apps and Games] o4tuna:
uninstall?

I installed this on my 16GB S3, with a 32G SD card. partitioned it to:

8GB fat32

24GB ext4

So, settings>storage shows me 12.05GB internal, with 4.20 available

and sdcard having 7.62 total, with 7.49 available

The app says

external: 1.64GB/21.75GB

So, I want to uninstall this, so I can try out root internal 2 external sd.

I'm not at all sure how to uninstall this without losing access to the things it has installed to the sd card.

I think > move /app, /app-asec, & /app-private from /sd-ext to /.

But I aint sure?

Does this program handle all the linking & redirecting, such that uninstalling it & moving those directories would get the system seeing those files the way they're supposed to be seen?

HELP?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] nussbaum:
It should handle that correctly, as long as destination partitions have enough space. I often changed my settings and moved app, dalvik, libs independent back and forth. Next reboot moved as expected. But backup to be on the safe side.

Link2SD incompatibility

You need to advertise the incompatibility with other linking scripts - i.e. Link2SD !!!!

I installed your script and obviously soft-bricked my phone! I've lost 4 hours last night fixing it. This is ridiculous! Put up a bloody warning in the description, check to see if Link2SD is installed ... anything FFS.

I've seen you answer this question to somebody else as if we all should already know this... are you serious?!
[Android Apps and Games] Skippernl:
It should just do that. To me it should be obvious not to use two different scripts without testing and making a nandroid backup first.

[Android Apps and Games] aand16:
If the phone doesn't boot (even in recovery) how am I supposed to restore the backup? :eek:

We aren't all devs, to know the intricacies of Android/Linux. Most of us installing your apps are simple users with crappy phones, we shouldn't spend hours trying to figure these things up, when there could have been a simple warning on the main post, or maybe a check on app start.

Hi I don't get it. I have a Matricom G-Box Midnight MX2. I have a 30GB external SD card. I followed the instructions (as well as I could) and I created two partitions on the SD card. One is a 200MB Fat32 partition and the rest is an ext 4 partition. Both are primary. My device is rooted and is running Android 4.2.2.

I installed the script the app asked me to install when it started up. this went without problems.

I rebooted and looked at the torage structure of this system. Looking at it now, I have "emulated" "external_sd" "sdcard0" and "usb" These are located in /storage in the top level of the file system.

Mount to SD has full root permissions.

In the configuration section it says that the ext4 driver is enabled, although all other options are greyed out. It also has a message in a yellow box saying "could not locate the SD-EXT partition. This should be the second partition on the external SD card. (Which it is.)

So what's going on?

Have you tried reducing the size of the ext4 partition, 30GB seems a little excessive, try starting at 2GB and the rest for the FAT.

How did you setup the partitions and which tool did you use?

This might sound like a silly question, did you unlock and root with the full S-OFF?
[Android Apps and Games] jebus197:
Well I might have gotten the partition sizes the wrong way round. The instructions didn't say much about this. I assumed the ext4 partition would be used to move aps to. I used Minitool Partition Wizard - given that it is the most popular free tool on the market today for tasks like this.

The MX2 box couldn't see the ext4 partition regardless anyway, I'm not sure how it was rooted, But it also came prerooted.

F2FS support; and ext4 journal option

I'm having a couple of problems with mounts2sd:

1. F2FS is not listed in the driver options: I've installed a custom Kernel+ROM with support for F2FS (the latest, backported from 3.17) but still F2FS is not available in the mounts2sd config tool. Do I have to do anything special to enable it?

2. Can't change Ext4 journal option: Since I can't use F2FS I've gone with Ext4, but I wanted to disable Journal to go easyer on the SD card. Unfortunately the Journal option on the confic tool is greyed out, so it can't be changed. By the way, the ROM I'm using does have tune2fs included.
