[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sf_loft:
I bought an SM-G920S while on vacation in Korea for a good price, unlocked, but failed to do research on the supported bands. So now when using a local T-mobile sim, I'm only getting 3G due to the missing bands. I've rooted the device and have customized many things but the ability to access SK Telecoms hidden menu errors out when trying to enable additional bands in the CROM menu. Our phones can be enabled on all bands, but if there is a bootloader installed, it's impossible to change. I've done a search here and online and can't find a well known bootloader removal. I'm waiting for cyanogenmod to come out to completely wipe the ROM. SK Telecom has so many bloatware that it's eating up the battery. Luckily with root, i can kill and remove background services.

Thanks any help much appreciated.

Hi all,

This is my first post in XDA but I've been a regular reader as a guest. I've developed an app(Apps2SD) to move/link apps from internal storage to external SD card with lots of other cool features.

Apps2SD has evolved from being an app which moves app data to sd card to an all in one app with many cool features.

Tutorials @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4q5HAHJblI&index=1&list=PLiRFJHKSKUX_q0hsN0oHn4iXGoloJku5s

Prerequisites:

Device needs to be rooted

Root permission should be granted to Apps2SD

2 partitions on external SD card (use Apps2SD partition tool to create 2nd partition). 1st partition should be FAT/exFat partition, this is your standard SD card storage. The second partition is used as the internal storage for linked application files and can be ext2, ext3, ext4 or f2fs.

Apps2SD development

HI Vicky,

let me first congratulate you on making such a useful app which has so many features .Does this app has any device limitations .

thanks , Rahul
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Thank you Rahul,

There is no device restriction apart from Android version. The app is supported on android 2.3+.
[Android Apps and Games] Cablespider:
The app won't partition my 32gb card on a Galaxy Tab 4. It keeps instructing me to reboot. Once I do, the app auto-starts, attempts to partition, then fails. Again, it instructs me to reboot. I never make it past this point. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks for the app and your time.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Hi Cablespider,

Do you have busybox installed? can you check if fdisk is available in your busybox version.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Cablespider,

I've sent you a PM, please check.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
The partition tool should work now. I've updated the apk in google play. It should be available after 3-4 hours.

Thanks,

Vicky
[Android Apps and Games] hunkrahulsvnit:
Thanks for the information.I tried it on my Samsung S5 and it works .The interface and visualizations provided to showcase the space used by different files are really impressive and easy to handle.
[Android Apps and Games] anil2705:
good app.

link2sd and apps2sd when used together have conflicts.

App needs stability. every reboot asks for another soft reboot to mount partition.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Please let me know your device name and android version. Ideally Link2SD and Apps2SD should not be used together. Any app linked by Link2SD will be detected by Apps2SD. If you still want to use them together make sure to deselect auto linking in Link2SD or Apps2SD settings.

As for the post reboot issue. Can you recreate the mount script from Apps2SD, reboot and try again. If the problem still persist send me the content of /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file.
[Android Apps and Games] anil2705:
running moto e 5.1.1

using only apps2sd solved the issue. and mount scripts were done from apps2sd itself
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Great. Please rate and review on google play if you like the app.
[Android Apps and Games] anil2705:
but every restart forced a soft reboot to make it work.

jus fix that, it'll be great.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Can you update to latest version, recreate mount script from the app, reboot and try again.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Thank you hunkrahulsvnit.
[Android Apps and Games] 10507:
I can not get it to work with my samsung tab 4 7.0in. I have link every option in setting, but applications still install in tablet internal storage. Tablet still showing Low on storage memory notification.....

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Can you send me the Android version. Also are you able to Link/Move apps manually? Also do you mean after selecting all the options in auto link option, newly installed apps are not being moved to SD card?

Please note that Auto link Settings is for newly installed applications. To link existing apps select the app and link individually or use Multi select to link in batch.
[Android Apps and Games] 10507:
It still running it original android version of 4.0.2. Yes, the newly installed apps are not being moved to the SD card. Everytimes I install new apps my internal storage decreases. I will try further more to see....

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Also are you able to Link/Move apps manually?

I'm not sure what you're asking. Have you tried ES file explorer?
[Android Apps and Games] prazool007:
app disappears after reboot

App disappears after reboot then app ask for soft boot then apps appears again .Once I saw there pop up message to format using f2fs partition.I googled but didn't found any solution :( .help me if possible bro.Your app is aswesome and I enjoy double storage form phone and 2nd partition .
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
That is a problem in the ROM. If your device supports f2fs then you can format the 2nd partition as f2fs(it might help).
[Android Apps and Games] wackowizzard:
Yes, I use ES file explorer, with root permissions activated.

My problem is that I placed an external sd card in my galaxy tab 3, but I can acces te card in file explorer. Its like there is no external sd card placed. Before I had no problems with it, but after flashing a custom rom it started. I can mount the sd card...I think...[emoji16]

[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It is a ROM issue, not sure Apps2SD will help you but you can try.
[Android Apps and Games] ithakaner:
Mount script creation

First of all thanks for your work - looks really promising, however I've the following problem:

Can I somehow point/correct the selection of the mount script process to an alternate partition?

Currently the automatic process always picks mmcblk

1

p2, but my sdext2-partiton (on a real sd-card) is mmcblk

0

p2.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Thanks, I'll add the option to select the partition in next release.

Android Lollipop 5.0 Apps Crashing after SD Link and Reboot / Unable to Move Apps

Hello,

I'm trying since few days to Move Apps to SD or to Links Them, and I had many problems

I tried a lot of options, a lot of apps, I searched for hours (and almost days), but I can't find a solution...

Maybe it's because of Android 5.0 ? Maybe it's because of the Elephone P7000 ROM ?

1) When I try to "Move Apps to SD", I get two messages :

- " INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINTED_ERROR " (with another app)

- "Action performed successfully " with Apps2SD, but nothing changed

2) When I try to "Link an App to SD", everything seems to work fine, but in fact, after a reboot, the App I have linked crashes at launch

After some tests I doubt it is caused by "Lib" things, but i'm not sure

I put in my phone a 64 GB SD, with two partitions, as needed (A first in FAT32, a second in ext2), but the "Storage Info" shows :

- Internal (/data)

- SD Card (/storage/emulated/0)

- SD Card 2nd Partition (/data/sdext2)

But in fact the "SD Card" that [Android/The App/The System] see is the Internal Storage, the details are exactly the same !

Please, can you help me with those things ? I don't know what to do now, I'm totally lost...

I just want to move some Apps on SD, where is the "Move to SD" native Android option ?!

Thanks in advance guys !
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Can you post the screenshot of Apps2SD storage info
[Android Apps and Games] TBGleNolife:
Here it is (I can't post links because I'm a new member...) :

Btw, Have you got some ideas about my problem ? What can it be ?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
The SD card fat partition is not detected. Is your card 64GB? Does your device support exfat?
[Android Apps and Games] TBGleNolife:
My card is a 64 GB one, yes

At first it was in "exfat", but actually there is a FAT32 and a ext2 partition

I suppose that my device support exfat, yeah, I don't really know...
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Use apps2sd partition tool to format the card to below combination.

exfat and f2fs. If f2fs is not working then

exfat and ext4. if exfat is not working then

fat32 and f2fs/ext4. (Use f2fs if f2fs works)

Note: to check if f2fs is working. create mount script by selecting f2fs and reboot. If on reboot it gets mounted then it's working.
[Android Apps and Games] TBGleNolife:
I followed your instructions, but at each it time I got this message (just after the formatting, or after a reboot, it depends on the combinaison)

->
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Did you ext4 for 2nd partition?
[Android Apps and Games] TBGleNolife:
I tried all possible combinaisons, it's always the same :/
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Try exfat and ext2. Reboot, then recreate the mount script by selecting ext4 file system and reboot
[Android Apps and Games] jessica Smith:

Noob ask... I am currently using link2sd paid version... If I change this do I have to unlink everything before install this?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Send device info from Error report and set your email in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
You'll have to unlink obb and external data, everything else will be detected
[Android Apps and Games] XavierNovella:
Info sent and then added email. I hope we can solve it... Although game progress is lost! :(
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:

[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I'll see if i can include an option of scheduled backup of critical data of an app
[Android Apps and Games] XavierNovella:
OK... Although I use Titanium backup and may have save this problem... I did not have a save progress from this app, silly me. not many hours lost, though. :(

BTW, mail has been sent.

Guys, i'd like some feedback on the widgets if you are using them
[Android Apps and Games] alvtminghui:
I have formatted my SD card using the app to the follows:

1st Partition - 45GB exFAT

2nd Partition - 15GB ext4

2nd partition is working well and the app managed to find and mount on it.

However, the 1st partition is missing from file explorer and everywhere else. The system also says that the SD Card is corrupted and it needed fixing.

However it works well when I plug it into my card reader which shows 45GB.

I have tried to do the above but the option "Revert modification of SD card filesystem" does not appear on my navigation drawer. I have also tried the "SD Fix" option on the home screen and it says everything is okay (it can write onto the SD Card".

How do I make the 45GB reappear again? I'm sure it's not supposed to disappear. Thanks.

P.S. - My phone is the HTC One M8 and I've checked that I can indeed read and write from exFAT SD cards before this and even after this error I reformatted as 60GB exFAT and it is ok.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
The Revert option has been moved to menu option of main page
[Android Apps and Games] alvtminghui:
Found it. But then pressing it shows an error

"Backup File not found"

& my SD Card's 1st partition is still missing.

*I have used Android's native format function to format the SD Card and it reappears. Then when I use App2sd to reformat again into 1st and 2nd partition, the 1st partition goes missing.

[Android Apps and Games] alvtminghui:
Finally got it to work. Reformatted the 45GB exfat partition using Windows explorer and my phone manages to detect it.

Btw vicky, is there any recommendation on what to/what not to move/link to the 2nd partition on SD card for the best balance between a functioning app and least space used on the internal memory?

I'm asking because I tired moving/linking everythiing (ODEX,Dex,APK,Data etc) to the 2nd partition and some apps will crash/not load at all.

I can't say but i'm planning to maintain a user driven list in future

Hi,

I have no second partition.

I have selected ExternalSD as default installation location.

Regardless of that all Microsoft updates that were updated yesterday were installed on internal SD.

Please let me know what I am doing wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] btb55:
On one of my phones I've switched internal and external storage. I'm not sure how to tell apps2sd the new locations and that they are switched over. I think I do it settings where the option is to set the locations manually for internal and external storage, but I'm not sure what to write? Can you help please?

Edited to add:

I think I've got now, I set internal as /storage/sdcard1 and external as /storage/sdcard0 It seems to be correct, but these things easily confuse me. I've linked an app and think its has linked correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] ForForkSake:
:D

So I've spent half the day trying to get a micro SD card to show the 2nd Partition,

Tried partitioning on Linux and every other way.... along with scouring this forum...

Was considering trying Link2sd...

However, I spotted a new micro SDXC card on Sale at the local store... the speed is so much quicker and used the partition function within this amazing App and it only took seconds. check your old memory cards people, they could be to blame .

Working great on CM 12.1 :)

Thank you and well worth the £2.56 !
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
The app has to support installation on sd card as well

Hello. Earlier in the old version of this app it was working absolutely fine. But after an update(i cant figure out which one) randomly apps are not responding. I am attaching my logcat file in zip format as the txt file exceeds the limit of 512kb. Hope you will see into the issue. Thank you.

Edit: i forgot to mention that sometimes, very frequently i must say, apps especially that uses internet are hanging a lot. I have to force stop them, clear caches, restart my device then only they again work normally.

cm13 needs soft reboot every time?

Hi Vicky, thank you for your wonderful work:good:. I used Link2sd in cm12 before, and just upgraded to cm13 recently. Since Link2sd doesn't work in marshmallow, I tried your app (latest v9.2). It works like a charm, except 2 questions:

1. every time when I reboot, it is said I need to do an extra soft reboot. Link2sd doesn't have such a problem in cm12.1. Cm supports running commands on boot. Do you know any reason for it?

2. Every time after I reboot, the build-in adoptable storage feature in marshmallow wants to format the sdcard, which is annoying. How can I avoid it?

thanks:laugh:.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
1) set selinux to permissive

2) use a notification cleaner app

[Android Apps and Games] The Unborn:
Can an existing user, who's been using App2SD for quite some times now, make a tutorial for all the steps involved to make it fully functional for beginners alike? Like to move apps to external, step 1 - create the partitions and some tips like informing them the Partition #2 would be used by the app to move your files, app, obb etc.

I have went through Vicky Bonick's tutorial however I felt it lacking because he didn't explain many terms like what is Directory Binding, Folder Mount etc. All He seems to have done in his video (the voice was hardly loud) was to walk you through the different options that exists in this software.

Right now I have this installed, and I am done to make the 2 partitions which is step 1. I am lost but would like to know how to proceed with the next steps to follow. I heard App2SD moves apps from the internal main memory into the the external SD Card's Partition #2 which is having ext4.

Other than this, how to make it works I don't know much.
[Android Apps and Games] keikari:
Suggestion of changing app filter to show apps even if app only fills one condition

Hi, would it be possible to make application filter work so it would show same time partially linked and not linked apps. Because now if you check both it shows none apps. Auto link doesn't seem to work with honor 4x. So it would be bit more practical to use.

And thanks for the great app, it has been really useful.

Android won't start after MM fix

First of all, great app, but my phone won't start after applying the sdcardfs fix under Marshmallow.

In the prompt to apply the fix, something was described to apply a backup to revert, but i can not remember.

Successfully created mount script on Samsung MM. But I noticed that if I format 2nd partition as Ext4, android is throwing a notification on every boot "Sd card corrupted"; and if I format as Ext2, on every boot, android is mounting second partition as active (hence file managers exploring second partition as SD card). I have to manually unmount the second partition on every boot from settings>storage to get access to first partition.

Please fix it.

The problem(mounting the card) is with your ROM. There is nothing to fix from my side. In the Pro version there is a task scheduler where you can schedule a shell script. Create a script to unmount the partition and schedule it on boot. Also sd card corrupt is a dummy message you can ignore it

[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Hi Vicky. I got error -506 "can't install app" from Google Play, which only affects 'eBay' and every other online purchase apps previously installed and linked (I use three of them). I can't find specific explanation neither solution anywhere for this one. It came right after playing around with formating (while apps were still linked, I admit) and increasing SD card second partition with 'Apps2SD'. Then came the mess. Device said "SD card is corrupted", so Apps2SD somehow failed to accomplish the task. I ended up using trusty "Partition Tool Wizard" and now I have a properly increased second partition, but also this weird, though interestingly 'new' error: -506. Do you have a hint on what could possibly happened?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Try below

1) Use Broken app cleaner option to delete unused files

2) Wipe dalvik cache

3) Clear Play store data and cache

4) Reboot

5) Install the apps?*
