Hi Vicky , i just emailed you i guess.

i was using link2sd pro for long time, stopped since they never update for MM.

now on App2SD.i was using the normal version all the while and today i bought the Pro version.

When i open the pro version , the app asked me to Uninstall the non-pro version. which i did. following that the Pro version app crash every time i open it. i'm unable to use it even once.

so i uninstall the pro app and restart it .

i receive a message from android after reboot something like this " System is unstable, might need factory reset "

Few of my apps went missing, i tried to reinstall it back but i get error -506 from GP.

Please let me know what went wrong and if there is anyway to get back my where it was before.

my system : Android 6 MM.

ROM : GPE

cheers

Problems

I have been trying to figure this app out all day. I'm sorry if I am asking a question that someone has already answered but after reading twenty pages of questions and did not finding the answer i decided to ask.

I have a Rooted Samsung Galaxy Core Prime with the custom slim pickins rom.

I tried to use the partition tool but it kept telling me there was an error and i needed to reboot. I have reformatted it six times and remade the partitions correctly with the same error so i used my husbands linux pc and used Gparted to make the partitions. I have a 128 gb sd card and 10gb has been set aside for the ext2 partition i created. Everything works great until my phone reboots and it tells me that partition 2 (my ext2) is not mounted. I have tried to mount it and reboot but when it reboots i get Error! Mount:mounting/dev/block/vold/179:66on/data/sdext2 failed: invalid argument. Reboot to continue.

I googled the error and the results i get are for link2sd problems. I had that downloaded at first but my hubby said the 2 would conflict so i deleted link2sd and retried the partitions only to get the same error message. I tried rewriting mount script and get the error as well. I really want this to work for my phone because two of the apps I have downloaded right now (Game of war and family guy) are 1.5 gb of data by themselves. It would be great to be able to download some of my other favorites as well and not have to worry about my internal memory.

I have the pro version of app2sd. I would be very greatful if someone could point me to a guide or give me some advice. Thannks!!
[Android Apps and Games] Noobgirl85:
Version 5.1
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Enable Usb Debugging and recreate mount script by selecting ext4 as file system
[Android Apps and Games] Noobgirl85:
I've tried that and every other option on there, then unistalling & reinstalling the app, it is not just apps2sd that has a problem with mounting. When I uninstalled it, I installed link2sd just to check and see if that would do anything and that didn't even work for me. When i reinstalled the app i made it a system app, but that didn't help either. I am at a loss as to what else to try.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Format the 2nd partition as ext4 using gparted
[Android Apps and Games] Noobgirl85:
Gparted is what I used. My hubby has kali linux on his pc so i used that to format it to ext4 the last time i tried. He said that he downloaded the app as well and it wouldnt work for him either.

I was just thinking that maybe one of my other apps is messing with the mounting or maybe i do not have an app that is needed. I installed busybox via your app, i have supersu, lucky patcher, xposed... my phone spent much of the last few days down so i really do not have much in it at the moment. I had to reflash everything because it softbricked itself after downloading unknown files... it might be my sd card. They're 128 gb class 10's. Are there certain settings i am supposed to have the app at maybe?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Open apps2sd partition tool and select format instead of create from the bottom left dropdown. Then check the 2nd partition checbox(don't select other checkboxes) and select file system as ext4. Then recreate mount script and see if it works
[Android Apps and Games] dreinulldrei:
Hi. Was testing Apps2SD yesterday. But noticed that after mounting 2nd partition and de-selecting it in the app, the 2nd partition was still there. I'd like to make sure I can revert to my working system.

So I hope it is ok to ask: where is the mount script? Running Marshmallow.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] AndiVienna91:
How big are the chances that you get it to run on the s7 ??

I bought the pro-version and hope you can bring your awesome work on my device. :)

I dont like adoptable storage, so all my hopes to move my apps on the 200GB MicroSD are on you.
[Android Apps and Games] curioct:
on point one I am guessing I am going to need to wait for some custom rom's? Or try to compile my own kernel with out it? (SGS7)

Ok, but any ideas on why my FAT partition wasn't accessible? (tried both partition magic and Gparted both xfat and fat32 always primary always set active with the ext4 partition always set primary) the phone would recognise the FAT on first boot but not after the reboot? Any ideas what would cause that?

On point 3 regarding "adoptable storage" any improvements or better control tools would be a bonus the current OS tools are lamentable. Immediate suggestions would be the ability to reformat the portable area into standard fat32 or resize the file blocks (for example I have an app which saves multiple files to the external storage) BUT the way android has decided to format means the 100k or so files I have stored as 3.2GB saves on the disk as nearly 15GB) but that's a personal gripe (I haven't played with the formatting yet to see if I can change it)

even simple things, or possibly more accurately things I've taken for granted for years, like the ability to list the apps on the adoptable storage / the ones capable of being pushed on to it. Would be a great start.

But bulk moving etc, the ability to "link" data /obb folders on there and see them like you can with apps2sd would be stunning although I do accept that I probably dedicated too much space to the adoptable partition (thinking I could use it like A2SD) but any greater degree of control would be good.

The ability to link app's that the OS believes are not linkable

To be honest I have no idea how 'hard' these requests are I haven't yet had the time (what with all the agg restoring what I do have and easter and so on) to have a poke around in the new architecture yet. As I said though I am happy flashing devices and so on to help you with testing if this is something you want to look at.

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

This is what I have been trying I've ended up 'accepting' the adoptable for now (nearly 1000 apps) but its pretty much awful, did you do any testing? how far did you get?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Delete the mount script and reboot
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
When you create two partitions on sd card does android detect the first partition? Also Some people told me that MM mounts all the partitions automatically(atleast CM does) if it's true then mount script might not be needed at all.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
What file system android uses for the sd card when you format from system setting? Try the inbuilt partition tool. Use Format option instead of Create.

Some people told me that MM mounts all the partitions automatically. When you create 2 partitions on the card does the 2nd partition get mounted automatically?

I'll look into the adoptable storage.
[Android Apps and Games] dreinulldrei:
I would love to try. Where is it?

Android only detects the first partition on an SD card. I specifically need to mount it, especially since it is ext4 formatted.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Same menu as recreate mount script
[Android Apps and Games] dreinulldrei:
Thanks. still... when Link2SD stopped working I had a problem. Would be nice to know where the script is placed. Just in case.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Below system files are edited:

Hi. I have a problem using the app. I have it running in a tablet, it worked, but i change the rom and now it doesn't run properly. When the tablet starts, the app stays initializing...
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Reinstall your super user management app
[Android Apps and Games] ImranHameed:
Well this version 7.6 has really improved the issue of apps disappearing at the reboot. That's a good thing. Moreover, I would update the newly added urdu language strings soon...

Keep up the good work...
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Version 7.7 released (Attached to OP as well) with below changes:

Added progress for cp option

Added Português(Brazil) and updated Urdu, Italian (Partial) and Hungarian(Partial), Chinese Traditional, German, French, Spanish, Turkish, Russian, Indonesian and Polish language

Optimized mount script

Added device administrator check for apps before uninstalling

Added option to auto soft reboot after boot if 2nd partition was not mounted

Added option to not delete files on update(will fix app not working after update)

Added option to send device info to dev(in Error Report page)

Other Bug fixes
[Android Apps and Games] Anniepoo:
Screenshoot

Just installed nx rom(cm13) and it auto mount the second ext4 partition of sd.

What can I do if I just want to use the link script?
[Android Apps and Games] kh34d:
Good work [emoji6]
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It is not yet supported in Apps2SD. It is one of the high priority task for next release
[Android Apps and Games] Anniepoo:
Is there an workaround like creating mount script manually and copy it with file explorer to the destinations
[Android Apps and Games] nextheart:
This is rally a very great and must have app for every android user. Please add widgets for "task manager", "hibernate apps" etc.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I don't see the benefit of it. The purpose of mount script is to mount the 2nd partition, which is already being mounted by CM
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Widgets are planned for Pro version only. They'll be added in next version probably
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
A request to all Pro users, please leave a review on play store.
[Android Apps and Games] Pericomon:
Hello;

I have been a couple of days tried to prove App2SD and am not able to make the program recognize the external SD.

The apparatus in which'm trying this is a Mygica ATV1200. These are its specifications:

Amlogic Cortex A9 ARM Mali 3D M6 MX 400 (400Mzh)

2 x CPU Core 1.2 Ghz to 1.5 Ghz

1Gb DDR3 RAM

NAND Flash 4GB internal Flash memory

Android 4.2

The tests I've done are always with a clean installation of Mygica and the latest version of App2SD, previously I have installed the SuperSU and BusyBox.

Messages leaving me in the App2Sd are:

- Openning app: 2nd patition not found, recreate script or partition the SD

- Recreating script: ERROR: 2nd partition not found

- 2nd Remounting partition: ERROR, 2nd partition file system couldot be determinedd:

- Trying to partition SD through app: No SD detected

I have tried EXT2, EXT3 and EXT4 without result. I have partitioned the SD through Mini Tool, the first partition is created in FAT32.

The 2nd partition is mounted, checked With Diskinfo, so that is not the problem.

I have used Link2SD without problem, this partition recognize me without any problem, and allows me to move applications to the SD.

I would like to try your app, but for now it is impossible. Please tell me I have to do to recognize my SD.

Thank you very much.

Attach the screenshots. Send device info to me from the menu in error report
[Android Apps and Games] Bryan Ong Manalili:
Thank you so much.. It is possible to add kernel tweak to this app?
[Android Apps and Games] sjlouis:
How do you get the command rsync? I haven't found how to install it in the phone. It's in Marshmallow but I shall install it only later.

Thank you :) .
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
rsync and cp are installed internally by Apps2SD. you can switch between these 2 in Apps2SD settings
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
That is a lot of work. There are couple of excellent apps which already do it.
[Android Apps and Games] Bryan Ong Manalili:
Ok Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] sjlouis:
I have already added options to cp with Busybox ;) . Can I use rsync as a command in a script? I'm not sure to understand the switch between cp and rsync. If I want to use rsync, I shall not can use cp anymore? Or I have to open Apps2SD and switch every time I want it :rolleyes: ?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
The setting is for Apps2SD use only. The rsync binary is in below directory, you can use it in your script

/data/data/in.co.pricealert.apps2sd/app_binary

/data/data/in.co.pricealert.apps2sd.pro/app_binary
[Android Apps and Games] sjlouis:
Ok, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] sjlouis:
Finally, I've found a binary command :

[Android Apps and Games] TomTanguy:
Hello,

Do you plan to make sdfix work on Marshmallow and ROMs based on (if possible) ?

That would be great.

(I just acquired a Galaxy S7, rooted on stock, and my usage of the sd card need write permission for all apps ; it's especialy upseting that the Samsung "My Files" explorer app can write on sd cause I feel it's just there and I can't reach it... But then, I understand little of the technical parts)

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Unfortunately I don't have a solution for this
[Android Apps and Games] TomTanguy:
Ok, that's sad.

Maybe you should mention on the description of the app "SDFix (Fix external sd card write permission - does not work on Marshmallow)".

Thank you much anyway, for your answer and your app.

Apps2SD Android is Upgrading

Hello Everybody,

I am running Apps2SD on a lenovo K3 note with Android 5.0 (custom, rooted). I have the SD card partitioned properly (ext 4) and can move apps to the SD. However, after I reboot I get the message "Android is upgrading" for all of the apps I moved and they (mostly) fail to run after reboot. I also tried Link2SD and the same thing happens, so I assume its an issue with the ROM but who knows. Any ideas about how to solve this problem?

Update - I have unchecked the "mount namespace separation" box in Super SU. I continue to get "Android is updating" at boot (although not every boot, now) and I am now also getting bind folder failures at boot.

Best,

Jon
[Android Apps and Games] uhm:
The linked apps still disappear after reboot. But I noticed that they disappear when data folder is linked too. Just linking apk, lib etc. keeps the app.

Also, in the log with the new version, it shows device or resource busy message.
[Android Apps and Games] Mikethe3nd:
I'm having the same issue and I would love a fix thank you for the app, it used to work but now not anymore, also I can't find out how to unlink
[Android Apps and Games] Rohit Salian:
Hello, App works just fine only a thing required is in partition tool can u add Second Partition with fat fs option.

Reason: Android one(sprout) device don't have internal and uses sdcard as its main storage except apps,unless moved.

So if I use 1st partition as SD storage and 2nd for linking. 2nd comes into action as storage and after installing script system cannot recognize any partition for storage and creates a mess. While using Linux sys I partitioned manually and now its working fine.

Conclusion: Just add make_fatfs option available in second partition in inbuilt partition tool.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Apps2SD needs a linux filesystem(ext2, ext3, ext4, f2fs) on sd card to link apps. Formating the 2nd partition as fat32 will be pointless. Use the FolderMount feature instead.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
The Android package Parser is running before the mount script. Did you enable public vold option?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It's a ROM issue. Unlink dalvik-cahce/odex and see if it helps. To unlink, uncheck the checkbox and click ok
[Android Apps and Games] Rohit Salian:
Already been aware about that but after installing the script it unmounts in which I cant downloaded , take a pic or even a SS anyways I have rectified it earlier itself so its not a problem for me. Its completely different scenario much likely unexpected. ;)

What I Did!!

Part 1 10gb ext4 (link)

Part 2 ~30gb fat32 (storage)

And mounted 1st part with script.

Thanks for the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Mikethe3nd:
Got a different issue now lol, I can't partition my device anymore it used to work fine until I accidentally did something in LG Flash tool "normal flash" instead of cse flash to reset my phone and now I cannot partition anymore, so many different errors even link2sd is giving unknown error 150 tried everything on the net and I'm desperate of using this app
[Android Apps and Games] uhm:
When I click that option, it doesn't get selected. BTW, I'm on kitkat.
[Android Apps and Games] jonmyers:
Thanks for the suggestion, buthat didn't work for me either......
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It's available for MM and above
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Did you use gparted to format?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Ok, i'll add fat option
[Android Apps and Games] uhm:
You suggested that in order to fix the issue but if that's not available, what's the fix for disappearing apps when data is linked?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
As of now, only way is to switch ROM. I'm working on an experimental method to mount the 2nd partition. I'd like your help in testing.
[Android Apps and Games] uhm:
I'm available for that. Let me know when you're ready with a test version.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Probably next week
[Android Apps and Games] Mikethe3nd:
I can't, don't have sd card reader, I only use your app to partition.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Try aparted app from play store
[Android Apps and Games] Mikethe3nd:
I tried it once, though not sure completely, I think it didn't work but now I wanna try again and my sd card isn't getting read. Trying to fix.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
If you can find a card reader try gparted. The card might be damaged
[Android Apps and Games] Mikethe3nd:
Well I can use the sd card and all but It's as if the card isn't getting read by any programs it partitions perfectly by your app but it doesn't get detected, I can use the sd card and store things in it I think It's enough of a sign of life.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Then android is not mounting the 1st partition as sd card.
[Android Apps and Games] Mikethe3nd:
Lol okay, suddenly it works now, I haven't done anything other than erase my sd card **** load of times and just decided to try to partition my device again
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Does a soft reboot bring the missing apps?
[Android Apps and Games] uhm:
No. Is there a way to force android to parse apps again?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
A soft reboot should have done that
[Android Apps and Games] uhm:
Then the problem lies somewhere else when the app data folder is linked. Apk linking works fine.

In the linked data folder on sdext2, I see a symlink in one of the sub folders, could that be an issue?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Is it specific to some apps or all?
[Android Apps and Games] uhm:
All apps.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Can you link one app, reboot and capture logcat as soon as possible after the device boots
[Android Apps and Games] uhm:
I don't see an option to add attachments in xda app. Can I email it to you?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Sure
[Android Apps and Games] uhm:
What's your email address?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:

[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Ok. I'll check it

What's the best size to put for swap size? I have a 64gb msd, I gave the partition for apps 20,995mb and the rest for my phone. I want to use this app to its best ability so what is the best swap size? Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I'd say 256-512 MB.
[Android Apps and Games] Marty_Since87:
Thank you for the fast response.
[Android Apps and Games] Marty_Since87:
I had to use mini partition wizard to partition my SD. For some reason my SD kept getting corrupted but all is good now. I partitioned about 20GB for apps and gamesgames.
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman:
Hi Vicky,

I would like to check with you It is every time we have Rom update/Otg update from custom rom must unlink all those system apps & third party apps first before update ROM?? I was experience twice although in previous or current latest version of Apps2SD when flashed the new update custom rom(Cm12.1/Cm13) facing bootloop stuck in boot animation:( Of cause clean flash ROM are no issue at all. Please advise & thanks in advance:)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Can you attach the logcat. Enable Save script in system partition in settings and see if it helps
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman:
Thanks for you reply, unfortunately I already clean flashed the ROM instead of dirty flash, so all the logcat that I was see just now is today date, doesn't got yesterday logcat, cause I was facing issues are yesterday. So today logcat still can help?? Between of that I will try enable save script in system partition instead of data in setting of apps2SD. Thank in advance:)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I need old logcat. Save the logcats if it happens again.
[Android Apps and Games] uhm:
Did you get a chance to look at the logcat I emailed you?

How move all apps to sd in cm13 ?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Checkout the video attached in OP
[Android Apps and Games] Marty_Since87:
Cm13 should have an option to have adopted storage so having this app would be useless I think.
[Android Apps and Games] Diamorphoses:
Hi.

I have seen your videos, searched this thread and ended up in your website - thank you so much for the FAQ. :good: (I suggest you add the FAQ link to the original post)

According to the link that you provide in your website about SWAP partitions :

I have a couple of questions:

1 - If my phone has 2GB of RAM, logically I should create a 4GB SWAP partition, right?

2 - What's more effective regarding performance: SWAP partition or SWAP file? ("google" says it's basically the same, but answers are very outdated).

3 - I am assuming that the purpose of creating a SWAP partition/file is to get better performance (for example, to be able to play heavy games with no lag)???

Thanks in advance :)
[Android Apps and Games] tchibeck:
Why this app in the Play Store says it is compatible with Marsmallow and above when I read here that it is not compatible with Samsung s7 Edge?

Why isn't it mentioned on the Play Store that it doesn't work with Android 6 and/or Samsung s7 family?

Why can't I read here if the developer intent to make it work on s7 family or if he definitely don't work to port it to s7 and s7 Edge?

I'm not complaining... Just would like to be kept informed.
[Android Apps and Games] Diamorphoses:
I am on Android 6.0 (CyanogenMod13) and it's 100% compatible. Tested the app and everything works fine. I don't know about Samsung family.
