[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbxdauser2011:
So you are pretty sure that Apps & Games (particularly the BIGGER ones) ONLY move to the "EXTERNAL" Micro Sd card & never to the INTERNAL 16GB USB Storage ! .....& this is the Default NORMAL behavior for moving apps & games of all other Galaxy S2 in the world ! So,in the same logic,when you said in post#204 before, you successfully "moved the xda app to sd card and back to device storage without problems"...you meant that you could successfully move the xda app to the EXTERNAL Micro SD card & Not the Internal SD USB Storage & back again to device memory...is that what you meant? or do Small apps like the "xda app" move to the Internal Sd USB storage only? So if i may comprehend, ...Smaller apps/games moves only to the Internal USB storage whereas BIG apps/games particularly moves only to the EXTERNAL MicroSd card & everything is absolutely Fine with it ?

Also, my failure to Format my Internal Sd USB Storage have always kept me thinking about it & therefore about its physical fitness of the NAND chip on it & also about the Brickbug problem.I made the check today & it came out Good.It reports my SGS2 emmc as a Sane chip (screenshot attached)

Also as [MENTION=3690986]_Sale_[/MENTION] asked here about a checkdisk test, here >> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63032773&postcount=184 ( as showed by [MENTION=4905463]electricsheepdreamer[/MENTION]), i did again made those check (followed instructions in ditto) & Nothing came out of Normal, (Screenshots attached)

Also i made a Complete Full thorough test by HD Tune Pro to detect for any damage or error in the Internal SD card (USB Storage) & it also didn't comeup with any errors on the Internal Sd (USB storage).

* File system appears to be FAT32 & not EXT4, so that causes all errors?

Now what to make of it?...is my Internal Sd USB Storage perfectly fine? or does that formatting error signifies some other hardware/chip level problem somewhere else (which i'm yet to find out)... or is it purely a software issue only ? (cant replicate problems on Samsung Stock Rom or Stock Kernel)?

Does this in any chance got to do something with "fixing permission" which i can try through the Apolo cwm recovery but haven't tried it? should i try it out?

Anyway, Helpful & indepth informative replies like those from noppy22 are most welcome.

Thanks in Advance for all your good inputs !!!:good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I think when you install an app, it goes either to /data(on the device) or ext sd card. You can then move it where you like. I always move any apps to the device.

Yes, that is correct. I thought that you were having problems doing that?

I don't think you have a problem with the hardware. The fact it works with stock rom/kernel and not with another kernel would make me think it is related to the kernel side(or at least the kernel is having issues reading/writing to int sd card).

Maybe. It would be trial and error. You could try formatting internal sd card to default(vfat from memory) from recovery and see if that makes a difference. Good luck :good:

I cannot connect my phone to pc using the USB cable.

I go to Settings > more settings > usb utilities > USB mass storage > connect storage to pc > connect USB cable (I connect the usb cable) and ....nothing succeed.

In USB settings is selected only Media device (MTP), but nothing changes if I select Camera (PTP).

How can I solve?

I have the same problem on 2 different pc. However, the battery is charging when connected to pc.

Thanks!

Did you Click on that Grey button that Says "Turn On USB Storage" ?

Hope clicking on that Grey button should do the trick !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm not 100% sure of this. I suspect you could do it, but I've never looked into it.

It's possible. If these problems started happening after the service, then maybe there are hardware issues away from the ssd

The default file system for /system, /data, and /cache is ext4. The default for sdcard0(internal sd) is vfat(AFAIK)

I think they are like app managers. They make it easier to manage where you store your apps, and see at a glance which ones can be moved. In fact one of them(AppManager3) claims to be able to move apps to both internal and external sd. Like I said, this isn't something I've really explored before
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbxdauser2011:
Thanks noppy22

I simply cannot Thank you more...from the bottom of the heart, i am indebted to the Great support & informative replies you have provided all throughout in the most lucid way to help a fellow xda member ! Xda community should be proud of having such Great Helpful member like you & I say that with all honesty !

Anyway was reading an old thread regarding the same issues about the Galaxy S2 here >>http://androidforums.com/threads/q-is-there-any-way-to-move-apps-to-internal-usb-storage.359813/ Seems like, you really can't move apps or games to the Internal Sd USB storage (11.5/16 gb) but only to the External MicroSd card (to a hidden folder called "android_secure" ) & perhaps there is No workaround about that !

Anyway, i do stand more informed about this topic than before ! Thanks noppy22 once again !:good:

You are in the wrong thread. If you are using Neatrom 6.4(TW 4.1.2), then that option does not exist. This is the rom thread you are asking in.

You could try a system app remover from the play store as an alternative

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepw8:
Want to try out Neatrom v6.4. Now using the above non-rooted JB stock rom. Which means it's stock 3e recovery.

1) Since there's no backup and restore option in 3e recovery, what do I use for Nandroid backup?

I know about apps like Titanium and needing to flash a suitable kernel/recovery. Which is easier and safer?

2) If I need to flash a compatible PhilZ kernel, which version do I use?

PhilZ-cwm6-XWMS2-MOT-5.15.9-signed.zip Or PhilZ-cwm6-XWMS3-FOP-5.15.9-signed?

Can't tell the difference...

3) I heard TWRP works as well. Any compatible and up-to-date TWRP kernel for Neatrom 6.4 and my current model and build number?

Just a question about partition sizes. I have my system partition set to 6Gb because I was using LineageOS for a while. I tried installing the latest version extra lite rom using twrp and I wiped ready for new rom etc. The rom flashed ok, but I can't get it to boot. I get stuck on boot animation. Could that be the partition size? What is the maximum size that a stock based rom can use? I have had the factory rom on it before with a 4Gb partition and it worked ok. I can use the partitioning zip tool to resize if needed.

If it isn't the partition size, what could be the issue?

Thanks for your help.

Don't try to install them as a normal apk. Extract the apks (MusicPlayer.apk and VideoPlayer.apk) using a root browser like root explorer to the /preload/symlink/system/app folder, symlink them to /system/app folder (click my sig), set correct permissions (0644) and reboot your device

why to the /preload/symlink/system/app ? I only extract to to /system/app (and lib to system/lib) set permissions and worked. :)

I think the symlink is not necessary.

can I create a symlink of the ExtSDcard in the storage/SDcard0 ????? the explorer of some applications do not access to the ExtSDcard. And that would solve that problem....

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
/preload/symlink/system/app & symlink is how it is on stock Samsung.

It's done this way so that the system partition doesn't get full.

Dropping an apk in system/app will work but if another mod replaces the same apk in /preload/symlink/system/app then the new mod won't work.

You can't symlink the external sd card to the internal.

Hope its not a stupid question - I did have a good look but couldn't find an answer.

** A quick and dirty solution I've found is to take screen grabs of the list and then use Google Keep "grab image text" which then allows me to have text lists that I can hopefully then paste back into the blacklist after a clean/new/different rom flash. **
