That's the point... As far as i have red correctly all the pages of this thread, at the time beeing the author has no intention to develope his software for s7 Plateforme. To be honnest he said he has no solution. That should not mean it'll always have no solution :)

That the reason why i ask formely the question : do the author intent to developp a s7 compatible version, even later on, or shall i resell my s7 Edge, wich is no use if both FolderMount and Apps2SD not beeing ported to S7 & S7 Edge plateform.

Edit

: Unless a version of CM13 has been developped for S7 Edge ? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Diamorphoses:
I am sure you will get it. Samsung is very popular compared to the phone I am using (and I got it already :p)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
There are two main issues with Samsung MM devices with stock ROM.

1) They use sdcardfs file system for the sd card which doesn't support mounting. (This requires a custom ROM built without sdcadfs)

2) Selinux is Enforced. (It'll still work but needs a soft reboot every time you boot)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
1) The swap size mentioned in the link is for a PC. For a device with 1GB RAM android creates 256MB swap partition so you do the maths. I'll look for a resource specific to Android

2) Both have almost same performance. But i prefer swap partition to swap file because it's a separate partition and i can't move/delete it accidentally.

3) Yes. Android will swap inactive resources from RAM to SWAP partition thus making more memory available to apps. If you have a slow sd card, app loading might be slow sometimes (due to moving resources from SWAP to RAM)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Yes the Link apps to sd card and Folder Mount options will be useless
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Which app did you link?
[Android Apps and Games] uhm:
DNSChanger.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I'm seeing missing meta data error. Probably mounting is happening after the Package is loaded or in between. Let me test if the new experimental method mounts before the current methods.
[Android Apps and Games] uhm:
Thanks for looking into it. Hope your experimental method will work.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Do you have native init.d support? Looks like the order is:

1) init.d(Native)

2) app_process

3) debuggerd

I use init.d and debuggerd. The experimental method involves app_process. There is a difference of 5+ seconds between 2nd and 3rd method. So it might resolve the issue. I'll send you a beta version as soon as i'm done with the changes

Note: I'm going to make the app_process method optional as it has the power to put your device in bootloop :)
[Android Apps and Games] uhm:
I had to flash a zip to add init.d support and to remove write protection.

I had tried your mount script with and without init.d option with same outcome.

Hopefully your beta version will fix the problem. I have nandroid backup so I'm not worried about bootloops.
[Android Apps and Games] Xkirnel99:
I have this problem with move to sd (attached screenshot)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It's an Android error. Use the Link/Unlink option instead of Move to sd card
[Android Apps and Games] Xkirnel99:
I will ask another noob question :D

When the 2nd partition it get full, the coming data for the linked app in sd card it will be saved in the 1nd partition or it will saved in the internal storage ?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
If the data is linked then it'll error out due to no space left. You'll have to unlink it or clean 2nd partition or resize the 2nd partition
[Android Apps and Games] curioct:
Running fine on my S7 just not the pro version oddly enough
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
What is the error with pro version?
[Android Apps and Games] curioct:
We had this discussion on email, your generic catch all error from memory - "some error has occurred" or something like that?
[Android Apps and Games] tchibeck:
Really interested in knowing if, when, and how it would work on s7 Edge !?

Pro version, of course.

You woke me up ! :D
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I'll add some logging and send you a beta version in couple of days.
[Android Apps and Games] tchibeck:
So, if i dare... Would you mind make an annoncement here, to the newbie (to your app, i haven't already tried), if it becomes available in pro version for Samsung s7 Edge SM-G935F ? :fingers-crossed:

At this time i have flash stock firmware back and no root.

Cause of almost brick and lost of everything, trying the beta release of madmack's FolderMount for SM-G935F, on which he is working.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I don't have a beta channel, i normally send the apk to user. To do beta testing of pro version you need to have a pro license.
[Android Apps and Games] tchibeck:
So i understand :

1) I have to buy a pro licence on the Play store or elsewhere ? (version on the Playstore seems pretty old)

2) Wait an APK from you to be tested ?

PS : Need to have some time ahead of me to reroot my phone install APK, try to understand, make lot of errors, spend somme night without sleeping and so on ;)

PS2 : Need to keep at least basics functions of my phone during daytime :(
[Android Apps and Games] curioct:
I went back to stock after trying adoptable. But the basic version, which near as I can tell has all the features of pro but with a nag screen (not really an issue with the multiple option I'm sure Vicki can tell you if there are other features) works fine you do need to set the automatic 2nd reboot or do it manually each time.

As for bricking that's what nandroid back is for.... My advice TWRP 3.0.0.3 su 2.68 (personally I found 2.71 unstable) xposed (optional to suit) nandroid backup, then apps 2 sd basic

It's almost impossible to fully brick a Samsung device these days
[Android Apps and Games] tchibeck:
Sorry about my silly questions : do i need to root with CF-autoroot only, to try APP2SD, or shall i have to root with the TWRP method ?
[Android Apps and Games] tchibeck:
Number 1 : done !

Now I have to re-root my phone...

Number 2 : Rooted and TWRP.

Number 3 : APP2SD Pro installed v7.7 from the Play Store.

What am i supposed to do now ?

Quietly reinstall my apps ?

Then try to use it and understand what are functionnalities and if it works ?

Report the result here ?

Or wait for a beta from you, [MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION] ?

Anyway, i'm not in the hurry. I'm able to be patient. Especially when i need some sleep :cool:

I would have loved someone had made a french translation of your website, i begin to get mind confused since my quest of informations, here in XDA. :p
[Android Apps and Games] curioct:
Not really the place for it. But if you are going to root why would you not install a custom recovery? For nandroid backup alone TWRP is essential in my opinion. Is it the odin flash part that bothers you because I think you can cf root first then install TWRP using the app once rooted. But even then you need odin for the cf.....

All I can tell you for sure is I've had my S7 less than three weeks and I've flashed TWRP twice thus latest time with the most recent version. The only issues I've had have been with the latest cf root (2.71 iirc) I went back to 2.68
[Android Apps and Games] tchibeck:
Sorry about that :-/

Many thanks
[Android Apps and Games] iHurricane:
Good One
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
No need to wait for beta version. Are you getting any error? if not then you can continue to use it and report any error.
[Android Apps and Games] tchibeck:
I haven't started yet.

Just need to reinstall some essential apps, have sleep, start some appointments during the week. So i'll try to discover it quietly.

Then if i have troubles, i'll ask here if i dont find the answer on your website.
[Android Apps and Games] tchibeck:
Hi you all,

First try today with APP2SD Pro on my Samsung s7 Edge SM-G935F

Prior to anything, i inserted a fresh brand new SDXC Card SanDisk 128 Gb pre-formatted in exFAT.

Run APP2SD : first return, no data, licence check fail

Activated data, run again : licence OK.

Next : Try SD Fix : answer : "Device not rooted, unable to fix SD" or something like that.

(Of course it is rooted, many Apps say that it isn't rooted though they are able act as root)

Next, i tried to format 6 Gb for the swap, 40Gb for second partition, using ext4, the rest to be left in exFAT (or FAT, i can't remember)

The reason i can't remember is since that time, APP2SD is freezed, trying to do .... i don't know what.

I let the App try to achieve something for 2 hours... but still this circle turning.

Unable to kill the task.

Reboot

The task automaticly started again doing nothing but showing me a nice circle turning.

System tell me SD corrupted.

A glance with X-Plore show me the card had been partitionned correctly.

But for Android 6.0.1, cooked by Samsung, it is corrupted, and that APP2SD that never end, never stop.

So, i reboot once more, let Android format the SD as exFAT, while App2SD started again doing nothing.

Stopped once again App2SD, emptied the cache, suppressed data.

Gave another chance to App2SD : still that circle turning and nothing else.

Uninstalled App2SD then reboot phone.

Re-download that V7.7 App2SD pro, run it... and again that circle turning and the app not able of anything else.

Download the free version : same nice circle spinning round.

Shut the phone, extract the card, reboot without a card : same marvellous circle turning... and nothing else.

Extract SD, formatted it in PC in exFAT again, reinsert in phone, reboot, run App2SD Pro : ... circle again.

Tried in Linux Gparted in my other PC : partionned it like this :

1st 80 Gb FAT32 (Gparted doesn't know exFAT), 2nd 32 Gb ext4, 6 Gb swap

Inserted card in phone, boot, message "card corrupted", and immediatly next, a notification "App2SD initializing"

Then ran the app pressing the icon : same old circle spinning without effect.

At that point, don't know what else to try.

Newbie Help

Forgive me for asking basic questions but despite reading around the internet I still find myself confused.

The info on this app states..

"Apps2SD uses a secondary partition on your SD card and uses it as another segment of internal storage. Apps2SD moves apk files, odex files, dalvik-cache (.dex) files, lib files and internal data files into this partition, which the OS mounts on boot, and creates a symbolic link in the original location. This retains the file structure that the system expects but with the bulk of the data moved to the SD card".

Ok. So having installed Apps2sd successfully, do I now have to do the move of apps myself or has Apps2sd done all the above under the covers for me?

Also I note that each app when displayed has a Link/Unlink option. I can't find any helpful info on what linking does and whether I need to do it or not.

I'd be grateful if you can help or point me to some help on this. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Logos Ascetic:
Since Ive never used any kind of linking/app2sd program on android, a FAQ page would be really helpful. The Youtube video is great for demonstrating the features, but it doesn't help me figure out the when I need to do them, and which ones to do.

Explanation:

Moving apps to your REAL external SD card can free up space when your internal SD is running out of room for apps. But, since android will get confused if you move the apps to another folder after installing them, this application creates symbolic links to trick android into thinking they are still where they are supposed to be. But in actuality they have been moved to a 2nd partition on your SD card. This really helps people with phones that come very low internal memory.

[MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION]

Id also like to know if App2SD automatically move files when you "link" them? Or do you have to move them and then "link" them?

Is there a way to backup apk's with your app? I see there's an option to "share apk" in the menu. What does this do exactly? Ive got some older app versions that aren't available anymore online,and Id like to back them up in case I ever need them again.

Suggestion/Request: For your next release. Can you add an option to sort apps by total size?

Perhaps you can write a tutorial for "moving/linking" one of my user apps from my internal storage to my SD card?The biggest user installed app I have is Nokia's HERE map application. Its a total of 580.1 mbs and a prime example of a large app that can be "linked" to save internal space. Ive attached a screenshot of the HERE app detail below.
[Android Apps and Games] drucassam:
does it work with link2sd?

does it work with link2sd?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Yes it does. It'll detect all the linked apps (Apart from obb and external data). Better to use only one but if you want to use both disable auto link feature of one the app otherwise it'll create issue.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Yes you have to link apps manually. Apps2SD provides an interface to do it. You can use Auto link apps(Links newly installed apps automatically). Linking will move the files to 2nd partition of sd card and create a symbolic link in original directory. Unlinking will delete the symbolic link and restore the files/folders in original directory. I'll be finished with the FAQ document soon so please wait for some time. :)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
1) There's already an option to sort apps by total size.

2) Using share apk you can share the apk using bluetooth, email or any other app. You can save the apk to any folder by choosing ES file explorer (if it is installed).

3) When you link apps it's moves the files to Sd card 2nd partition and creates a Symbolic link in the original location.

4) I'll release the FAQ document soon.

5) To Link Here app: Click on Link/Unlink button in the next window select whatever you want to move(May select all available options) and click Ok and you're done.
[Android Apps and Games] Logos Ascetic:
1) Sorry, I didn't see the option to sort by Total size because when you open the menu it looks like the sort options stop at Cache size(Internal). Maybe add "more options" to the bottom? or an Arrow?

2) So when I share the apk, will it share the stock apk? or will it have all of my user data attached to it?

3) Thanks for clarifying that App2SD automatically moves your files when you link them.

4) I look forward to seeing your FAQ's. Until you release them should I refer to the FAQ's for Link2SD for now, since they are similar? http://www.link2sd.info/faq

5) I went ahead and selected all of the options since I want to free up as much internal storage as possible.

Thanks for your help
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
1) I'll think about it. May be in future release

2) Only Apk

3) No problem

4) All are not applicable but you can use them as basic concept is same

5) Ok

Got some issues with the app2sd app

I;ve installed the app on my tab Pipo M3 using android version 4.1.1 kept getting issues partitioning my 32gb sd card after rebooting to format the sd, nothing. plain nothing once I ran the app it stucks at a white screen. Tried clearing the data of the app then it will run normally again. Ive installed the busybox which was required by the function to partition

Tried another way to format my sd card using minitool partitionb wizard create and partitioned with 20gb fat32 and 9gb ext2. inserted and runned the app2sd, its stated need to create a mount script to the ext2 so I selected recreate boot script and restarted. after restart I opened the app the error notice again returns stating it to try to create a mount script and so on repeatively. Tried create it into ext4 but the error says use ext2 and try again. :(
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Please create the mount script by selecting ext4 as the file system. If it doesn't work wait for my next release(probably today).

Made a mistake : it's Super SU 2.71 Pro
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Reinstall and reboot
[Android Apps and Games] tchibeck:
What do you mean by "reinstall" (to the noob i am) ?

I just reinstalled from the APK i had saved from a previous backup.

Is that enough, or should i flash something ?

The root rights are given to App2SD, and i added the option "force de root".

Reboot 2 times, and still have the waiting circle.

Notice that at the very first launch, App2SD launched normally with having ask and obtained the root rights from my SuperSU Pro 2.71

It stopped to work when i choose the partitiions size and apllied the partionning choosen.

Since that nothing happened but that waiting circle.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Uninstall SuperSU the install again
[Android Apps and Games] tchibeck:
Uninstalled SuperSU, re-installed superSU, reboot done, launch ES-Explorer to make him require again root rights, same with X-Plore, next launch APP2SD.

It asked for root rights, have been given, then the circle took place, and that's all.

Wait for a beta version

I have found issues with 2.71 but have found 2.68 very stable you might try that best to flash it in TWRP
[Android Apps and Games] tchibeck:
Flashed free version of SuperSU 2.65 via TWRP several times.

But the binary cannot be update.

During install i'm suggested that if it doesn't work, it could be better to install binary via TWRP

But i don't know how.

After several attempts I removed, and tried APK install of free version of Super SU 2.65

Same thing : it ask for having binary updated and can't do it.

So, at this time my phone is once again not any more rooted and need to be reflashed.

Since it's three weeks of brain storming on it, with my noob brain, i get strong headhake and huge lack of sleeping.

And i have a brillant stupid smartphone much less usefull than the Note 3 I gave to my son.

I think i'm about to give up, flash a stock rom, and re-sell that piece of <censored>.

Better get an good old Note 4 and try to make my way without this awfull "smart" phone :(

I suppose i'd be better after sleeping...

But anyway, i need a phone for phone calls, texting, notes and messaging... and can't afford to continue with unavailable phone because of geek problem that i'm not enough clever to deal with.

Sorry for disturbance.
[Android Apps and Games] curioct:
You need to go to the pinned threads in the s7 forum there are clear instructions for installing TWRP, then using that to install chainfire root you need to flash twrp using odin and have both the files mentioned ready on your sd card NOT the internal storage which will be wiped!

I still reccomend you use 2.68 not 2.71...

These are not issues with App2sd.... go to the correct forum
[Android Apps and Games] tchibeck:
Hello [MENTION=3485938]curioct[/MENTION], thhanks for your help.

I think i need to leave it for a while and come back in a few days.

At the time being, I have re-flashed a stock rom.

And i'm finishing to reinstall the essential apps that i need to use all day long.

Ideally it would take me two s7 Edge

So i do not have the root anymore, nor TWRP anymore.

So, if i have to reinstall correctly TWRP and root with 2.61 SU version...

i'll have once again to reinstall everything :(

I have rooted my s7 Edge several times, once only with CF-auto-root, all other times with TWRP methods.

I previously followed some french tutos, on french forum, as long as it's easier for me and my poor english.

Later on i used strictly the pinned methode for s7 Edge here on XDA.

Each time, each root on that s7 Edge, each method applied, some root apps, like ES Explorer and others say that the phone is not rooted though other root apps like Titanium Backup are able to work properly.

As i've read on french forum, i'm not the only one.

It seems the s7 Edge are not totally or correctly rooted with all those tutos.

So, what for now ? If you know a method to re-root without wiping the internal storage, i'll do... otherwise, i'll wait for better days. I feel tired :-/

To all MM users,

After analyzing the MM source code i think i can implement below for Stock MM, CM13 and custom MM ROMs:

Adoptable (Stock + Custom + CM13)

Add a new module: Partition Tool for adoptable storage (Any suggestion for the module name?)

Here you'll have the option to create a single adoptable partition or create 2 partitions; one for adoptable storage and other for SD card.

If you create 2 partitions then you can format/repair/upgrade the 2nd partition

Add an option in settings to enable Adoptable partition tool

Add Adoptable filter in AppList

Add Adopted status for Apps (similar to On Sdcard, Linked, Partially Linked)

Add options to single/batch move apps to adoptable storage. You can force move apps which don't support this.

If you format the 2nd partition as ext2/ext3/ext4/f2fs then 2nd partition can be used for linking apps as usual.

Add option in setting to disable mount script creation/requirement (general setting)

Apps2SD Pro version only [Adoptable (Stock + Custom + CM13)]

Add option in settings to move all apps to adoptable storage when they are installed/updated

PS: Any suggestions/improvements is appreciated.
