Can't move apps to external SD Card or install APKs

Ever since recent updates, I have been unable to move apps or their data to my external 32GB SD Card. No app really works, and Link2SD with the partition process was a huge headache, but barely works.

My SD Card is not broken, bricked, or useless, I'll tell you that. I can still use it for files and all that, but the HTC Desire runs out of space real quick on its stock 4GB internal SD, and with me not being able to move apps now, it's just a constant struggle of no space like I'm back on Android 2.2 with 1GB of space...

Still no vibration!!!! What gives????

ok, before anyone implies ive done something wrong on my end.... i know exactly what im doing. ive been modding androids since GB. that said.....

i had the same problem someone else had on here. i installed this rom. and suddenly no vib. anywhere. thats way odd. ive rooted and rom'd over 100 models. ive done this for cash for customers of my pc repair business. never had one lose vib before. so FoxyDrew (thanks for the assist btw ;) ) suggested i relock my bootloader and flash a ruu. my BOOTLOADER WOULD NOT RELOCK. i lost the ability to boot to recovery. i DID get into recovery through adb (fastboot boot recovery (cmd)) BUT and heres where it gets really odd. the device would random reboot when in recovery if i tried to make or restore a backup. anytime it touched the system partition BAM reboot. i could no longer install or uninstall apps at all. suddenly i had reboots every few minutes and after each it would revert back. EVERY GODDESS FORSAKEN TIME. basically i had a paperweight......

so i RMA'd the thing. i now have a shiny new a5 chl.

i unlocked it.

flashed twrp.

flashed cm12.

flashed gapps

and guess what (really guess) NO VIBRATION. i can verify that the last one i had MUST have had a defect in it. but vib DID WORK ON EVERY OTHER ROM I THREW AT IT UNTIL I RUU FRIED IT. (and YES sometimes flashing a rom CAN KILL YOUR DEVICE! ive locked up a few so back i couldnt even use fastboot or adb commands, and they were the proper rom for the devices, its usually caused by a faulty memory chip on the board or an overclock kill)

im on the VM variant. says i have NO SIM CARD as well??????? is this a virgin issue (wouldnt be the first time for that)

can i PLEASE get a hand here. FoxyDrew you were MAD help before, much appreciated and anything you could throw at me this time will be as well my man. and grarak thanks as well to you for dev'ing this rom. i REALLY LIKE Lolly and CM

so just to be clear.... i have...... (this is displayed in fastboot)

a5_CHL PVT S-ON

hboot-3.18.0.0000

radio-1.46.40.0425_2

openDSP-v28.2.2.00546.0331

os-

eMMC-boot 1536MB

Jul 14 2014,21:17:44.0

i opened the package, charged the phone, plugged it into the pc, unlocked bootloader. booted. enabled dubugging. flashed twrp. twrp flashed the rom and current gapps. rebooted.

thats it. im writting this less than 2 hours after it showed up in the mail. and no vib. no sim card (says no sim card - no service)

so any help here would be grand, cheers!
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxyDrew:
Okay, lots and lots of crazy stuff going on here...but firstly CM12 doesn't recognize SIM, thats a known bug no need to worry.

Where your currently sitting, your saying that vibration only doesn't work on CM12? Which means if you flashed a different ROM, say CM11, that vibration would work just fine?

Or your saying that flashing CM12 somehow broke vibration? No matter what ROM/RUU you use? If that's the case its definitely faulty hardware (bad luck on your second phone in a row).

The last think I could suggest you do, is try to flash CM12 with the recovery on Graraks BasketBuild. Making sure you wipe EVERYTHING ie /system, /data, /boot, /cache, dalvik cache, and all. Maybe that will help as TWRP has been know for wiping issues.

Edit: HERE is the recovery.img on Graraks BasketBuild that I recommended. I believe it's just a modified CWM.

alrighty im gonna give that recovery a whirl in a sec, i wanted to come reply to ya. thanks [MENTION=5995633]FoxyDrew[/MENTION] for the assist.

ive been screwing around with all the roms here on xda. and so far here is my findings....

i HAVE been using twrp.. 2850 i think. and so far ALL cm12 based roms stop my vibration. AS WELL AS GRARAKS KERNEL on cm11 roms. every single time i flash it. vib works on all the cm11 based roms just fine. the sim issue stems (i think) from the fact that my phone is NOT ACTIVATED. cant afford the 35 bux atm.... =/ yeah i know.... (quit laughing at me lol) i also tried MoKee (its cm12 as well) and same issues (as well as random chinese characters all over the place.) but pacrom and carbon BOTH work great, no issues, UNTIL I FLASH GRARAKS KERNEL, then no vib. dunno. but im gonna switch to the modified cwm and see what happens. i really wanna get used to cm12/lolly as i have an Nvidia shield tablet on LP. i even found a way to get Viper4Android to play nicely and not run with scissors on LP. ok flashing now brb with an update. OH and to be clear. vib DOES work on stock and cm11. just doesnt like graraks kernel for some reason. it borked vib in every cm11 rom i flashed it over.

ok tried the recovery you recommended, firstly its twrp again not cwm. 2840 instead of 2850 and it looks like its multi rom ready as well. i cant even FIND cwm new enough to flash 5.x anywhere. and still no vib. i know i can not be the only one to have this issue.

p.s. btw i could find NO OPTION in twrp to wipe boot...
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxyDrew:
Again the no SIM issue in CM12 is a known bug and happens to all a5_chl users.

Grakernel on CM11 roms always breaks vibration for single SIM, thats also a know bug.

TWRP having no option to wipe boot is the reason I told use to use the CWM I linked you.

And are you saying the recovery I linked you to is TWRP? Because thats not true...
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pariahnoble:
alright i found cwm by grarak for the 816, and yes the link you posted was twrp. i tried it twice. (click it yourself??) it was multi rom ready twrp. but anyhow, no biggie, i did get cwm (6051 by grarak) installed and tried to flash and again. (now that i know the sim issue is still there of course) and still no vibration.

im thinking im gonna have to just wait for this to be cured somehow. because once i get paid on the first im gonna activate this thing again. i let my bill lapse when i rma'd. dont think it will work with no sim right? (i may have missed a post someplace, ive been flashing on 4 different phones and tabs the last couple weeks and alot of reading..... pls forgive me if i did miss a beat someplace. example.. i missed the post about his kernel borking vib....totally missed it lol)

again [MENTION=5995633]FoxyDrew[/MENTION] thanks a ton for your time and help man. most appreciated!!!!

so this must be a CM based bug. everything else seems to run GREAT tbt big thumbs up to our intrepid devs and folks like FoxyDrew that take the time out of their own to try and assist the community. need more like ya!!!!! CHEERS!
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxyDrew:
Sorry but not this is not a CM based bug, thats sort of why i was trying to help you out. I also have the a5chl and vibration works just fine for me on CM12...

If you used CWM to flash, and you made sure to wipe /boot, then I have no clue what the issue is.

yeah i wiped it all first. should i try the ruu again? i was perma bricked the last time (not your fault, im not blaming you, im sure mine was effed when it got here.) and also does service work on cm12? at least the 3g? ive had nothing but problems where i live with VM's damned 4g lol. its a joke here.

but i AM willing to try the ruu route again if it may work. i just might need some assistance in getting it done. so far as i know i put the ruu on the sd card root and reboot to hboot after locking the bootloader again. then cwm and flash cm12? but service is key. i may have to wait untill the sim issue is resolved. as always thanks for the time ya spend helping me out!!
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxyDrew:
Nope the SIM bug is purely aesthetic, if you flash the APN fix RIL (data and MMS and SMS) works just fine.

And you can flash a RUU sure but I'd recommend the exe file.

And as far as the RUU just follow the instructions in the thread.

Desire 816 CM12 'a5'

Hi there, I've recently flashed CM12 onto my Desire 816. Apart from small problems faced, I've faced a larger problem. The NFC toggle won't turn on/off there and it DRAINS BATTERY way faster than I thought. It would be around 6 hours battery left from 98%.

Try adding files more than 4gb.

300mbs isn't a lot by any means. Like I said its the way the partitions are set up, this issue was already brought up and Grarak said he wasn't addressing it.

Only the stock ROM will read these partitions right and give you your full 8gb.

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggerman0421:
4 gb of memory is all you're going to get, even on stock. It is way the memory is allocated. You have a total of 8 gb of ram, 3.7 gb is allocated to the system, this leaves you with 4.3 gb to install apps, save pictures, video, documents, etc. It is the same on all phones, my old Galaxy S2 had 16 gb of memory, with 11.5 gb available for the user. If you need more room for apps, I would suggest using either Folder Mount, or Link2sd. Link2sd will require you to repartition your sd card with a primary Fat partition (your standard Sd card storage) and a second primary ext3 or ext4 partition to link all your apps. All the .apk files including the obb and data files can be moved to this second linked partition.

Hi,

I've updated to CM 12 Nightly ROMs (currently 12-20150216-NIGHTLY-a5), with a clean install, to get away from the restrictions on SD cards in 4.4.4.

Although I do seem to have SOME access to my card at seemingly random times, I mostly do not. I've seen nightlys which stated they've fixed SD card issues and have updated to them, and for the past couple of weeks, I've been updating multiple times a week. But at present, I cannot even move what seems to be less that 2MB in most cases to the SD card, even with a root-enabled file manager (Yes I am rooted). Do I still have to edit user rights for my owner account?

I've gone into my app preferences and chose the SD card as my preferred install location as well, but it seems that this option will only install to the emulated/sdcard0 directory. I get the same result if I use the app manager and choose "Move to SD Card".

I constantly have to purge info from my internal memory just to even be able to update apps. I have about 54GB free on my SD card according to my phone. the 10 or so gigabytes used are from a manual backup that I had performed before flashing, using my PC only.

Could anyone please help me with this?
