never mind this one.
[Android Apps and Games] janbazz:
Thank you rahul i am looking for that kind of app. thanks once again
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
I don't get it:

- I bind a 3 Gig directory to my external SD .. takes long since it has to copy 3 Gig

- I unbind the directy (very fast .. only few seconds)

- I have 3 Gig on intern SD and external SD

Huh ????

What I expect is that all data is on external SD while there is an active bind.

After I unbind I expect the directory on external SD to be empty (all data back in source directoy)

So I also expect the unbinding to take about as long as binding.

Where am I mistaken?

I realize there are tons of options but I didn't check any .. since I thought the default should already simulate a symlink.

Is it so that I use twice the memory if I don't check any boxes? Since all data is and stays on both partitions?

Another thing really strange. I link Snapchat and it shows me green sd card symbols for about 500 MB work of data (alltogether). When I check the folder size of folders within the second partition it sums up to about 25 MB .. not more .. and all folders are empty except for the app-lib folder. huh?

Edit: this one seems to be an error Totalcommander makes while it calculates folder sizes.

---------- Post added at 12:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

Is there any way to get rid of the SD card corrupted message? If you try to repare the sd (like it offers) .. it set's back all partitions and formats the sd - instead of just formatting the first partition. So this is quite confusing.

Edit: I managed to get rid of this by disallowing all notifications of that app (not perfect but will do).

Feature Request: Launch hidden app without unhiding it.
[Android Apps and Games] skezza:
OK,

I think you could do with explaining the differences between linking dex, odex, etc files. I tried to link a whole bunch of apps last night, and caused utter havoc. I'll probably have to wipe my phone and start again, because it's not running right at all, but I think if we understand how these things differ, we'll understand it more.
[Android Apps and Games] alfredudu:

[Android Apps and Games] mielletseed:
Yes, I described it earlier in this thread. If you are XPosed user you can use XPosed modules for that.
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
Regrettably xda extended search is currently under maintenance (or so .. doesn't work) .. could oyu give me a hint about the module's name?

[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Capture logcat
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Yes you need to select the options carefully.

e.g. If you don't select any option then a copy is created in external card but it is not deleted from internal card. Now if you unbind it'll not delete/override data in internal card since it is already available.

I'll add the feature to launch hidden apps in next version
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I'll update the faq soon with these info
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
I think I got it in the meantime .. for former foldermount users it's quite a brain teaser ;)

Maybe you can come up with an idea how to help .. maybe code a default behaviour and add all the switches as expert options .. or so :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] Handsome Jack:
1st partition is FAT32. Care to explain why it's better?

Is it bad If I link everything of the app to ext4 partition?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It's mainly because 1st partition is generally bigger than 2nd. You can use any partition. Also you can use the speed test to determine which partition has more read speed and use that.
[Android Apps and Games] Handsome Jack:
FAT32 fragments very easily which is the 1st partition.

Does this mean that ext4 partition is better for linking apps?

About "1st partition is generally bigger than 2nd". This shouldn't be problem. I can create the ext4 partition bigger than the FAT32 partition.
[Android Apps and Games] owilsky:
Fragmentation is no problem on flash memory since there are no moving parts like on hdds.
[Android Apps and Games] ShinraTensei04:
Apps 'breaking' on reboot

- I have a rooted Asus ZenFone 5 on 5.0

- I partitioned my sd, 2nd partition is ext2

- I successfully linked apps using the app Apps2sd

The problem:

- On reboot, the apps don't work.

- This is because the obb link of the app is shown to be broken(in app details, the link picture of obb is shown to be 'cut').

- Soft reboot doesn't solve it, nor does recreating mount scripts.

Only thing I could do is link the app again, and it works, but on reboot, the same problem comes up again.

How do I fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] skezza:
So a few problems I'm having:

The copying process takes a long long time and eventually seems to never finish. It gets slower and slower before grinding to a halt, say if I'm copying 30+ apps.

App is generally unstable for me :(

Also it's not possible to mount fat32 or fat16 partitions?
[Android Apps and Games] ShinraTensei04:
I've tried only 1, big app(1 gb game). it took less than 5 minutes to link it; the app is very stable.

No, you HAVE to create second partition as ext2 format, not any fat ones. Otherwise the phone Will ready the second partition, which you don't want. You want it only readable by Apps2sd.
[Android Apps and Games] skezza:
Use public void is missing from the settings now :(

Still no luck making it work efficiently :( Trying hard.

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

Using ext2 now. Still no luck. It just crumbles. I've tried with some recommended settings. I'm sure it's just a settings issue I guess.
[Android Apps and Games] ShinraTensei04:
Use the app AParted to wipe your partitions(it has a pdf manual in the app). *Unmount sd before wiping

Then, use Apps2sd(not AParted) to create two partitions(don't create swap partition, i.e. leave the third row blank in the partition tool of App2sd.

Set the first partition as fat32(usually set to take up 80% of the overall space of sd) and the second as ext2(automatically will take up rest of sd space) and create it. You should know the rest such as creating mount as ext2. Don't forget to reboot. Hope it works.

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------

I have another issue now. I had linked 2 games(I've linked only 2 apps till now). They were working fine, even though I had to relink them every time I rebooted my device.

However, now those 2 games don't even start. Even after relinking, or unlinking even. I tried to change it to system app, but had no effect. I then tried the fix permissions on 2nd partition tool from the app, but it didn't work.

The apps don't even start. My screen just changes to landscape view for a second and then back to portrait.

Need help.

EDIT: I tried recreating mount scripts and then uninstalling and reinstalling the games(now unlinked). I ran the games without obb files, and they started(but asked me to download addition data of course). And then I ran the games with obb, but now they won't start... Are my obb files corrupt due to relinking over and over again??
[Android Apps and Games] skezza:
Right. I've got it working with ext2 and it works OK except one thing. It won't Mount on boot without a soft reboot. Ext4 and f2fs don't need soft reboot but have their own issues. I've also tried mounting with ext4 even though it's an ext2 file system. It mounts on boot now and is slightly more stable than ext4 but still has problems.

Anyway to fix ext2 mounting on boot?
[Android Apps and Games] ShinraTensei04:
You can't fix the problem with ext2 as that's a system incompatibility. What problems do ext4 and f2fs give? And what format is sd 2nd part./mount scripts when you used ext2 file system to make it more stable? And what problems does this pose?
[Android Apps and Games] koyo:
Hello. I just want to thank you for this app which is incredible and works wonders for my low memory chinese smartphone. But I have a problem.

Link2SD had some flaws on Marshmallow which wouldn't allow it to work, which is why I switched to Apps2SD. It is a noticeable upgrade in numerous areas, but one thing I have a problem with is auto-linking after updating apps. Normally, I'll just go and find those updated apps in Partially Linked, and manually re-link them, but when I restart the phone, I once again have to update. Then the cycle repeats.

Also, it's noticeably slower linking apps compared to Link2SD but then again that could be a placebo effect of your app showing how much mb it has linked / total. Other than that, your app is awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] ShinraTensei04:
Do you have to manually relink all your linked apps after reboot?
[Android Apps and Games] Gr0wing:
I have used your app to partition a 64gb sd card.

1st partition - fat32 or exFat

2nd partition - ext4

Here is the Diskinfo http://imgur.com/a/sywpB

The 1st partition is not recognised as external storage, but the 2nd partition (ext4) is recognisable and links apps.
[Android Apps and Games] koyo:
Not all, just the ones I have updated. First, I have to re-update them all over again. Then they show up as partially linked, so I re-link them again. Then, when I restart my phone, they end up having to update again. Then they show up as partially linked again, so I have to re-link again. The cycle repeats itself.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Can you send me the Device info
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Can you send me the Device info from the app
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It must be due to left over files. What i would suggest is use the Broken app cleaner to remove unused files once a day or couple of days.

[MENTION=7083389]MrWasdennnoch[/MENTION]: On #497 the mobile data tiles (sim1, sim2) do not open mobile data settings. Was working on last build I had.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Some people have reported formatting 1st partition as NTFS solves the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] ShinraTensei04:
I've had a lot of changes done on my phone, and now I'm on stock KK.... I wish I could have sent you the info. But I can tell you this, obb kept breaking, for any app.

A few points of information:

-After relinking so many times, I couldn't start the apps any more. I tried unlink and then starting app, but they didn't even start.

- I tried to reboot and then try, no use. Even tried recreating mount scripts and rebooting and then linking, still won't start.

- After unlinking, I noticed something strange about these apps. Their obb files, now in internal, could not be cut-pasted into external.

- I could rename them though. When I did that, the apps started, but asked me to download additional data of course.

- I check the app info via device settings. I noticed that the entire obb portion of the space used, which was to be listed under the "Data" category, was now listed in the "App" category(where only the APK size should be displayed).

I hope this can help realize something... Once I get the app again, and if I still have the problem, I'll report the required information.
[Android Apps and Games] koyo:
Doesn't stop the fact that apps don't auto link like they're supposed to after updating. If they did that, I don't think I'd have this problem. It's even weirder because they do auto link sometimes, yet sometimes they don't.
[Android Apps and Games] owilsky:
I flashed an update of my custom rom to my system partition where Apps2SD was. I then reinstalled Apps2SD from Play Store. It found a backup of the database and all apps are there.

However now some apps show that the data is there ("File/Directory exists on sdcard without any link to it") but the link is missing.

Is it possible to quickly recreate all links?
[Android Apps and Games] TBGleNolife:
I tried, but after the last reboot Android shows "SD Card Damaged" ... :(

EDIT : Should I choose "SD Card" as a Default place in "Settings -> Storage" ?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:

[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:

[Android Apps and Games] TBGleNolife:

[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Not sure. Let me try to replicate. If i'm not able to then can i run some tests on your device?
[Android Apps and Games] TBGleNolife:
Yes, I'd be happy to help !
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Thanks, I'll let you know.
[Android Apps and Games] TBGleNolife:

Btw, any idea on what the "mount : invalid argument" message is ? What can cause that ? :/
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Invalid file system
[Android Apps and Games] TBGleNolife:
Uh, okay...

If it can helps, here is a screen of the "Storage Info" by another apps, here is how the partitions are now :

Hi, i am getting this pop-up message "an error has occurred" then i press OK and the app closes, i installed specific SuperSu and apk versions neither with play store apk, i'd try both ext2 and ext4 format. Some help please

CypherOS Marshmallow rom (CM-based)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Next time it happens send me the report so i can analyze
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
When it's not auto linked do you get any notification?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Are these obb and external data only? if yes then just press OK, it'll re bind them
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Have you purchased the Pro version from play store? You'll have to purchase it from play store
[Android Apps and Games] owilsky:
Yes. So I have to open each app in Apps2SD and click OK? I was looking for a quicker batch like operation... Also to identify these apps I also have to open each app. A new wizard to find those and recreate the links would be fine.
[Android Apps and Games] koyo:
Nah, but I found a solution. I set it up as system app (durr, sorry) and used Auto Start - No Root to run it at boot up, so that there is no way it isn't running to do what it needs to do. Immediately after, it started re-linking apps and stuff. Sorry, it was a short coming on my end.

But I want to know the difference between disabling an app and then linking it or just unchecking the disable box then linking again. Because I don't like how it deletes the shortcut from the home screen. I put alot of time and effort into organizing my homescreen into folders, would not like to continuously re-drag the icons into folders over and over again.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Some apps crashes during linking process. So i added the disable option. There is an option in settings to default the option to unchecked state
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
You can use Rebind external folders option from left drawer menu
[Android Apps and Games] Plbg:
Hello,

I'm using cm13 in an Sony Xperia M Dual with adoptable storage. Your app works fine but I always loose the links on homescreen of adopted apps. I have tried to get link out of your app but this doesn't work. After the reboot the app is disappeared from the homescreen. But that is not my main problem. I asked this some weeks ago the first time and you said that it could work when I make the link on homescreen through your app but it doesn't.

When I force the movement of an app to the adopted storage that does not support this normally this also works. But after every update the app is back in the internal storage so that I have to move it manually back to adopted storage. Do you have solution for this problem? The automatical movement for every new installed app is activated but it works only when I install a new app and not when there is an update.

I have no problem if it is now possible to use adopted storage and a second partition on one sdcard the same time. What will happen when I use the integrated tool to format the sd card with the option of adopted storage? Will my adopted storage be deleted or remain my data remain adopted?
[Android Apps and Games] holamundo216:
Yep, in fact my problem was with both paid versions(Play store&this threat), but free version is working excelent (sometimes it gets stuck on messages like scanning but i think that´s problem of my low-end device). Now I am using free version

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

I think that your problem is to use the adoptable storage and linkage at the same time which creates conflicts in the decision of finding the routes. Try to partition the memory to fat32 and a second partition on ext4 and use only this app to link your apps to the second partition. The native adoptable Marshmallow storage still sucks.

Also check the options "Add soft reboot in mount script" and "Create secondary for dalvik-cache symlink":)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
If you use the partition tool (Adoptable or normal) your data will be lost. Auto adopt (Assuming Pro version) should work for both newly installed apps and updated apps. Do you get any notification from Apps2SD for updated apps (already adopted)?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Try below for the licencing issue.

Clear Apps2SD pro data

Clear Play store data and cache

Reboot

make sure you have internet connection

Open Apps2SD after couple of hours
[Android Apps and Games] koyo:
Thanks bud. That did it. Now your app is perfect

Hello,

I am using a rooted Xperia M2 with stock. I have created two partitions with in included tool. I ahve tried all formats for the second partition. When I try to craete a mount skript, I get a long error message which includes

"read-only file system (30) rsync error some files were not ransfered Code 23)"

I can reoumnt the second partition though. But after a reboot all linked apps are gone. Even after reinstalling them: Gone again after a reboot.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ShinraTensei04:
Okay, I don't know why, but now, after coming back to LL, and getting apps2sd again, it's working. No broken links.

I had first tried link2sd this time, but I couldn't move obb as it's a pro feature; I do remember setting mount scripts as ext4 even though the partition was actually ext2. I did the same with apps2sd, and it's working :D

I think it's because my VM changed from dalvik to ART when I came back to 5.0...
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Check if your system partition is mountable as rw
[Android Apps and Games] suet_yyp:
Thanks, how do I do that?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
run below commands in terminal emulator

su

mount -o remount,rw /system
[Android Apps and Games] suet_yyp:
It says: "Operation not permitted"
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
So it's not mountable as rw. Do you use SuperSu and TWRP?
[Android Apps and Games] suet_yyp:
I use KingRoot. I have SuperSu also installed, but it doesnt work. I guess there is a cinflict

Can I just deinstall KingRoot and reinstall SuperSu?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Do you have TWRP?
[Android Apps and Games] suet_yyp:
I don't. Would that help?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
See if you can install twrp
[Android Apps and Games] suet_yyp:
I installed it. It asks me if I want to install busy box, which just doesn't happen if I click "yes".

What shall I do in that app?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:

Hi

Fantastic app work MM, however recently I have encountered a strange issue .... I added a new link folder and when I am trying to link it, the gets stuck with "working.." screen and nothing happens. Weird, as I had never experienced that bug before I tried recreating a link. Any help?

[Android Apps and Games] iPAQ 6515a User:
Just for a particular pair. I noticed that some data was lost/corrupted and then I recreated the folder with a backup and when trying to link the problem started. I left my phone on working.. screen through the night and it linked.

So far so good, let me see how it works after a reboot and will let you know (am using the latest pro version)
