Hi

Is available any tool in this app for sharing apps between roms (multiroms)?

What is your android version?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Did you try it?
[Android Apps and Games] Thenetstriker:
I have a question regarding folder mounting under Android 6. I would like to create a Symlink for the WhatsApp folder under /storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp to /data/sdext2/WhatsApp. The problem is that under Android 6 the path /storage/emulated is mounted using fuse, so the ln command does not work. So I tried linking /data/media/0/WhatsApp to the sdext2 which seamed to work. But this works only in the /data/media/0 folder and not in the /storage/emulated folder. Is there any way to create a proper symlink on the internal storage under Android 6?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
No you have to use bind option
[Android Apps and Games] Thenetstriker:
Thanks for the quick reply, binding seams to work good.

Install latest version of SuperSU and create mount script using su.d option
[Android Apps and Games] ShinraTensei04:
Since Dex files require permissive selinux, I have to use the app to set it to permissive. But do so causes my phone to bootloop. So could it be possible to revert back to the old way of linking Dex files, since in older version of apps2sd, I don't face any such issue.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
You can enable Force dex linking in settings. Also can you send me /sepolicy file from your device
[Android Apps and Games] ahhazar:
same problem. Forcing option works but not as old way. I cannot see dex files after linking. Ahhh old beatiful days...
[Android Apps and Games] HighFidelity2k:
Hi,

i have a problem with backing up 8 gb data (out of 32 gb) 2nd sdcard partition with the apps2sd Pro Backup Tool. It stops at 98% and shows a huge log with red "X".

I'm using latest SuperSU and Apps2SD Pro App. Android 6.0.1. i already e2fsck second partition with TWRP Recovery.

Another question: Is it possible to get rid of that dummy message "sd card corrupted" in android notifications by using new adoptable partition tool ? If yes, then i will have to reformat the whole sd card, right ?
[Android Apps and Games] lee99:
Yes. But so far it is working as is should be.

Older version was working good all the time and I didn't have any problems with linking all apps after updates.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
send me /sepolicy file from your device
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I'll check it
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Recreate the partitions using Normal Partition Tool (non adoptable). Yes it'll wipe the SD card. Use a linux system with ext2/ext3/ext4 partition to copy contents of /data/sdext2
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman:
Hi Vicky,

Look like apps2sd not working normally in Nougat 7.0/7.1(CM14.1 nightly), link apps to SD seems not working..honestly first time flash latest CM14.1 nightly after that I try latest apps2sd as well. especially all the user apps that I link successfully without any issue..but after try restart device instead of soft reboot, all the apps are missing??? I did try recreate mount script also try broken apps cleaner can't help too. I also try re-install the apps again do the same method then restart device again Problems remain the same too. Hope you can fix & clear enough. Now i revert back to MM 6.0.1:( but working perfectly without any issue facing in CM14.1, hope are clear enough....hope can be fix too:) Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] ahhazar:
thats it
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Hopefully it will be fixed in next version

Hey Vicky

For now creating backups with apps who has dex and odex is working. Thanks

But tell me something. If I have partially moved to second partition (without data) apps and I like restore my backups to sdext2 I only can restore this apps with all files. So even If I didn't have app data on second partiotion now I will have this apps completely moved. It is possible somehow change this behavior?

Best regards
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
fixed
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
There is a clone option (1st one). Which will restore as it was backed up.

Missing Apps

Dear Vickybonick,

Yesterday night I tried Apps2SD 11.4 on LG L70, Android 6.0.1, CM13 2016.12.04: newly flashed rom with TWRP, Gapps and SuperSU 2.7.8. After first boot Developer Options: root on, adb on, su: enable on boot, nameplate off, installed Apps2SD Pro from Google Play. 32 GB microSD formated with Apps2SD: 29GB fat32, 3GB ext4, mount script: advanced method, reboot.

Installed 8 programs from Google Play, batch linked to microsd (apk, odex, lib...all), reboot: 3 program missing. Broken App Cleaner found lost files, clean, reinstall, link, reboot: 1-2 program missing (Waze, Opera VPN...). Tried link 30 programs, 10 missing. Tried to link one-by-one, not worked. If a linked program not missing after reboot , next time still installed, older linked program not missing.

Could you help me what could I do with missing programs? Log empty, no errors, no warnings.

Thanks your help, program is great.

[MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION] This may be a weird question, but probably a bad idea to move/link "Apps2SD" to my external SD card????
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Yes it's a bad idea
[Android Apps and Games] mU$!c:
If after reboot app(s) are disappearing then it means mounting 2nd partition at boot is not supported on your device, so you'll be asked to do a soft reboot.

Uninstall Link2SD and Install Apps2SD. Change your SuperSU settings. If your SuperSU has "Mount namespace seperation" setting; disable it. Enable "Enable su during boot" in your SuperSU seting. On some devices linking Google apps creates an issue, so avoid it altogether, and actually this info pops up in the app, Vicky thinks of everything.

You're welcome.
[Android Apps and Games] HighFidelity2k:
i would use linux mint, if possible, to copy sdext2 (ext4) data, but then i want to move the data back on a new F2FS partition created with the inbuilt partition tool. i will use my second sd card reader for the data then copy back to newly created f2fs partition.

[MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION] Is there a "legend" for the icons under "App Detail"?
[Android Apps and Games] mU$!c:
:laugh: I just knew it would be horrible to link Apps2SD to external LOL, confirmed. Thanks for the reply :good: :good:

Anyhow, on another subject, with apps like Firefox Beta, as you can see in the pic provided below, there are these 2 data folders. One is at /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.mozilla.firefox_beta the other is at /storage/sdcard1/Android/data/org.mozilla.firefox_beta, obviously. Should I link both folders or just the folder that is on sdcard1? BTW, I figured out the icons in "App Detail", HDD icon is system, I get it.

This is by far 1 of, if not the greatest Android app of all-time. I know this is the greatest app I have ever seen droid or iOS. It's like a Swiss Army knife. IDGAF who hates on you and says otherwise, this app is f#@%ing awesome! It Helped me, vicky :good: :good: R.I.P. Siskel & Ebert
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:

Cool. Thanks a milli, Vicky :highfive: Trying this solution right now :) . . . I'm linked up.
[Android Apps and Games] vgyuri78:
I wrote my logcat link via your website, I dont have here 10 posts, I cant share/attachment. Now I linked 27 programs, after reboot (logcat) I have only 15, missing 12: finearea.MobileVoip, com.overlook.android.fing, etc... Broken App cleaner found at /data/sdext2/apk/... 102 files, 128MB, but I can only delete they. I tried soft reboot, not worked.
[Android Apps and Games] HighFidelity2k:
i cannot copy/move all the files from second sd ext4 partition to another storage in linux mint, because it says that the partition is read-only.
[Android Apps and Games] ahhazar:
Thanks for the fast replies, solutions and improvements Vicky. I can see dex files on app detail page now and linking is much more faster than previous versions. I love much more Apps2SD now.
[Android Apps and Games] mU$!c:
[MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION] Can I bind folders with Apps2SD. I'm trying to change the default download location for Firefox Beta to a folder on sdcard1. It's using system default download location, looks like. Probably "/storage/sdcard1/Android/data/org.mozilla.firefox_beta" or somethin', which is the opposite of the original location. Just keepin' it simple. I think storage/sdcard1/Download will function alot better, though. I know how to write a change into Firefox Beta source code, but the downloads might go to the new location for a bit, but then stops, and then it will resume downloading to original folder location on emulated sdcard0.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Yes you can using the Folder mount option. Keep in mind folder on sdcard1 is already on sd card
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Try to repair it then
[Android Apps and Games] HighFidelity2k:
checked, volume is clean, but it cannot copy some files : "Error splicing file: input/output error". The 2nd partition is mounted read-write. i will now move as many files as possible and then check each linked app on my s5 neo.
[Android Apps and Games] mU$!c:
Also, I am trying to browse onto each partition to see exactly what files reside on each, but in stock explorer and ES File Explorer it just looks like 1 whole drive instead of partitions. So, IDK. Will Apps2SD allow me to explore each partition? I need to have eyes on the files that are on the 2 partitions.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
No. Use root explorer to browse /data/sdext2
[Android Apps and Games] agavia:
vick.... just send u error report & device info. still folder mount can't mount after reboot. all the apps datas & obbs failed to bind after reboot. I stored them in partition 1. please, fix these....

Are your SuperSU settings correct?

If after reboot app(s) are disappearing then it means mounting 2nd partition at boot is not supported on your device, so you'll be asked to do a soft reboot.

Can't move to SD natively

Tried using the native Move to SD function but this error appears instead.

Same thing for every other app that is supposed to be moveable to SD natively.

Also, I am unable to move via Settings->Apps->"App name"->Storage as there isn't an option to move.

What gives?

Hi

Thanks again for great app!

I use new rom [6.0.1]Thunderbolt UX v5 by [MENTION=6173089]malbert16442[/MENTION] and here isn't "install-recovery.sh" file in /system/etc so I can not successfully execute "sh /data/apps2sd/mount-script-recovery.sh" because I receive "Could not stat /system/etc/install-recovery.sh: No such file or directory"

Can I add this file ? Is it possible? how to create this file ?

BR
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:

[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:

[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:

[Android Apps and Games] tomaasz:
I've used and it is still the same ;/
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Then ignore the error
[Android Apps and Games] HighFidelity2k:
Done. partition tool created 3 partitions, where the 3rd is sdextpart2, is that right ?

Do I have to use the new extended mount script method for the "full sdcardfs support" to work or is it ok to use the "supersu method", as this is the only one working for me in the past ?

BTW i compressed the data on sdext2 because some files were corrupted and could not be copied, only that way. but when i recopy the files to new 2nd partition, app DATA cannot be read (i'm newb with linux maybe i changed some permissions)...
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Perhaps compression didn't keep permissions and extended attributes. Sdcardfs is unrelated to mount method so it doesn't matter

If I turn on device encryption after having set up apps2sd, will it cause any issues?

[Android Apps and Games] HighFidelity2k:
hi,

problem now is i linked a twrp backup to internal memory with folder mount option, but the internal storage is full now of course, and now, even if the mount point doesnt exist anymore, the transferred data seems to be still on emulated internal sd card. nandroid backup didnt change the memory issue.

i did this because i needed specific files of that twrp nandroid backup and tried to open them with Titanium Backup, didnt work because external sd card is write protected, and additionally, the SDFix option from apps2sd pro doesnt work because of EACCES permission denied error.

damn....
[Android Apps and Games] iPAQ 6515a User:
Reboot your phone and right after it restarts go to TWRP folder on your internal card and delete or move it.

Do it fast, before Apps2SD starts mounting folders
[Android Apps and Games] HighFidelity2k:
twrp folder on internal sdcard is deleted, but the problem is the cached "BACKUPS" - "code" folder which is 0 bytes in es file explorer, but cannot be deleted (error).

maybe reinstall apps2sd with backed up configuration ? (configuration is on 2nd partition of sd card, right ? because i have several sd cards in use)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I didn't get your exact issue but you can use the unmount only option for the pair. Also you may try the repair feature in partition tool
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I'll check it out

Hi Vicki

I have just installed CM14.1 and I want to move some apps to my SD card. So I installed your app, formatted the SD card so it got two partitions. FAT32 and f2fs. Then I tried to move an app to SD and got an error message "Error! Error:java.lang.IllegalStateException: No suitable external storage available."

I tried to recreated 2nd partition again as ext4 but it did not help. I can reboot the phone, "recreate mount script, fix permissions on 2nd partition" without any issues.

I am running http://xdaforums.com/redmi-note/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-1-redmi-note-4g-dior-t3491719/ on Redmi Note 4G

"Freeze" on LG D405n with CM13.0

Hi,

I am using Marshmallow 6.0.1 (cm-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J8-w7) on LG L90 (D405n) and when I install Apps2SD, the phone kind of "freeze".

The screen remains black and it does not react to any button. It is possible to call the number from another phone, however the phone does not ring, the screen remains black and I am not able to pick up the call.

After uninstallation of Apps2SD, it works again normally.

When I used stock KitKat on LG, it worked fine with Apps2SD.

I presume there might be some conflict with Marshmallow or CM.

Any idea how to solve it?

Thanks for any suggestion.

[Android Apps and Games] 513263337:
A proud pro supporter here, just wanted to say "thank you very much" to the developer.

Link2SD failed me big time - 6 out of 10 apps crash after being linked by Link2SD, probably permission somewhere got messed up. Just when I was about to give up, Apps2SD came to the rescue and has been working flawlessly so far without crashing linked apps.

One more thing Apps2SD also does perfectly is identifying emulated external storage vs real external storage. On my device (Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N9100 Android 6.0.1), some apps utilize both, and Apps2SD is smart enough to differentiate between the two and link only the emulated external storage. On the other hand, Link2SD gets confused and treats both as one.

Not to mention Link2SD to this day still didn't resolve the mount issue on MM. Overall Apps2SD is a WAY BETTER choice. It's a shame that it has 1/10th or less of number of downloads compared to Link2SD, and probably equally less pro/donate buyers to support the amazing development.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Thank you for the support
[Android Apps and Games] 513263337:
I'm having an issue here and looking for some help.

I have some apps (usually games) that natively store obb and data on emulated storage: /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/xxx and /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/xxx. I used Apps2SD to move and link them to 2nd SD partition since the emulated storage on my phone essentially resides in internal storage. The issue is that every time after a reboot, these games don't work any more, asking me to re-download the game files (GBs). And if I go into Apps2SD, it either shows the link is broken (in case of emulated data) or shows as if it was never linked (in case of emulated obb). I have to click on "Rebind external folders" and everything will be fine.

This is not a big deal. I just have to remember to "Rebind external folders" every time I reboot. But I'm wondering if there is a option/setting or something that can fix this issue.

Not sure what you mean. When I tap an application so I am in "App Detail" screen and then I hit "Move to SD" I get the error.

I did not know what "Link/Unlink" means so I did not try before. "Link/Unlink" works just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Move to SD is native app2sd and the error you got is an Android error so it'll not work for you. Use the link option
[Android Apps and Games] cimenta:
is that because of my hw or sw? cm 14.1?

Thank you for great piece of sw :good:
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Sw. Some ROMs don't support it and on some ROMs if you create multiple partitions on sd card it doesn't work
[Android Apps and Games] lastsaves:
It turned out, that the problem was in bad Micro SD card.

I changed it and it works like charm!

Thanks for an awesome app!
