Thanks for a wonderful program. May I make one suggestion on how to improve it:

Only auto-link applications over a specific size (which can be user-defined), so that the smaller apps that don't take much space in the internal storage stays put, while the larger apps that uses alot of the memory, is transferred to the SD-card. This is done automatically with the auto-link option.

It is only an idea I've had - I'll leave it to you.

Is it possible to mount adopted storage as second SD card partition (in MarshMallow)?
[Android Apps and Games] zputnyq:
Hi [MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION],

Everytime I create mount script using your app my install-recovery.sh file's permission change into 777 is it normal?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I'll fix the permission in next version
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Thanks, I'll think about it
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
No, it won't work
[Android Apps and Games] porroni:
Thank you! I'll wait for news :)
[Android Apps and Games] HOS2002:
I got this error all of a sudden after restarting the phone to integrate some updates in the system :confused: I tried to recreate the mount script but it didn't work...I only had a 2-3GB game linked to the 2nd partition of my SD card and now it won't appear on the apps list anymore...is there any way to fix this and get my game back?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Try the repair option in partition tool
[Android Apps and Games] zputnyq:
Hi [MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION], currently I wanna change the sdext2 directory to /root/sd-ext but I don't have that directory so I have to make it first using your. Is it possible to do it using your app & could please show me how to do it?
[Android Apps and Games] HOS2002:
Thanks!It worked!I also had to remount the SD Card,or maybe that was the main problem,dunno...

However now the game is dumb and re-downloads all the files over the existing ones :p

At least I hope my save is untouched :D

Thanks a lot I really thought I lost my progress in-game forever :D
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
The directory can't be changed but it should be automatically created if not found. I'll check on that
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Repair unmounts the card so a reboot is needed after repair. After reboot Apps2SD will bind all obbs

Hi all!

I have a problem with my Huawei P9...

I installed app2sd, created partition on my sd card, link apps to sd, look work but after reboot, app I linked disappear so I cancel everything and do a reboot again and now I'm stuck on first sreen on my phone... :(

I didn't have the Huawei logo.

Just the screen saing the device booting...

Can you help me?

I can go on bootloader but don't what to do.

Hope I don't have to format my phone...

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Does it boot after removing sd card?
[Android Apps and Games] Phiver13:
No He wasn't.... :(

So I format everything again. I'm afraid the Huawei P9 aren't comptatible with a lot of apps .

Don't know if somebody else with P9 find the right way...

Hope you'll fix it it future!

Vicky I needed to do full reflash because I got bootloop. I don't know for sure it is apps2sd pro or something else but when I update and relink apps I got bootloop. Also in 11.6 partition module didn't show any partition on my external sd.

For now I will be using 11.5 pro and I do some more tests in near future.

Best regards
[Android Apps and Games] orangebirddave:
I do the partition stuff, fat32 for first partition and ext4 for second, after it does the partitioning it restarts and App2SD opens automatically, and gives me the error "mke2fs 1.42.13 (17-May-2015 The file dev/block/mmcblk1p2 does not exist and no size was specified." I have tried restarting, removing and inserting the SD card and reformatting SD card.
[Android Apps and Games] stormy1777:
you may want to try using 11.5... it might be that 11.6 (current on playstore) has some issues.. I'm sure it will be updated soon... to d/l 11.5, see TOP/first post of this thread :)
[Android Apps and Games] mielletseed:
[MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION]: I have a question. I use to move some bigger apps to second sd-card (ext4) in Android 6.0.1. Unfortunately some of them vanish from time to time from the installed apps (e.g. launcher). Most of time I can get them back via the "Restore apps (sdext2)" command. But this time some apps where still missing. But I can't neither restore them from a backup not can I reinstall them. I tried the menu option delete second partition but I can't get rid of the remaining entries. When I try to install Amazon app for example the android installer tells me that it would update an installed app and later stops with an error message. So my question: how to remove this formerly linked apps completely so that I can reinstall them? Second question: how can I avoid the vanishing of the linked apps? Thank you and best regards.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Use the Broken app cleaner to remove left over files
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
There is some issue in partition tool. Send me an email. I'll send a beta next week
[Android Apps and Games] mielletseed:
Just in this moment I wanted to write you that I found the broken app cleaner option ("Bereinige kaputte Anwendungen" in German) - thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Can you install the attached apk and create the partitions. After the process is complete sen the device info from apps2sd menu. Make sure to set your email address in the app and pm me the email so i can filter it from other reports.
[Android Apps and Games] guastucci:
Vicky, what do you recommend to link? Asking because I am linking everything and having troubles with it. Tks
[Android Apps and Games] guastucci:
What about this error
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Check error report for more details
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Everything except internal data should be OK. If apps are lagging too much then unlink Dex/odex aswell
[Android Apps and Games] bpushpak:
I have moved most of the user apps with its data and cache to ext4 part. All works without any problem.

Just to remember that after update of the app's, these will show as partially linked and you will need to relink them

Great app Vicky
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Can you send me device info from the app before and after the update. Make sure to set your email in the app and pm me the email
[Android Apps and Games] bpushpak:
Mine is perfectly working Vicky.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
That's for analyzing the partially linked issue after an update
[Android Apps and Games] bpushpak:
I will do that after the next set of updates. As of now all apps are in perfect state. Wait one or two days and some update will come
[Android Apps and Games] guastucci:
A bug that I am facing is when I change the language to English (not mine OS language) it keeps back to the os language. By the way Vicky, Brazilian Portuguese is really bad translated.. If you want some help with it, just tell me.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I'll look into it. Some one on the translation thread also said that and has started fixing the translation, you can also join him
[Android Apps and Games] bpushpak:
Sent you the device info and pm you the details
[Android Apps and Games] guastucci:
After few reboots the apps no recognize the linked obb and starts to download again, like the follows screens
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
What mount method you are using?
[Android Apps and Games] guastucci:
Su
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
What is your Android version? Is it SuperSU or magisk?
[Android Apps and Games] guastucci:

[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Can you clear apps2sd data and try again.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I haven't tried it but it should work.

1) Take a backup of /data/data/in.co.pricealert.apps2sd/databases/apps2sd.db

2) Copy contents of /data/sdext2 to your laptop.

3) Insert SD card and format

4) Reboot

5) Copy sdext2 backup to /data/sdext2(Make sure 2nd partition is mounted)

6) Exit Apps2SD

7) Delete /data/data/in.co.pricealert.apps2sd/databases/apps2sd.db

7) Copy backup of apps2sd.db to /data/apps2sd folder

8) Open Apps2SD it'll ask to restore the db. Click Yes and make sure everything is linked.

9) Open linked apps. If you are on Lollipop apps might crash. In that case run

setenforce 0

as super user in the terminal
[Android Apps and Games] kilogams:
good app.

link2sd and apps2sd when used together have conflicts. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Mohan04:
yes i already did that, even i made clean partition and uninstalled app and re installed and did all things from scratch again but having same error. i m reporting this after doing all possible experiments . i thought it was because busybox.. i m using tesla rom and busybox in installed in /sbin/, so i manually installed from app in /system/xbin but it's keep reverting to /sbin/ after each reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] Playdoe:
Hey Vicky,

Just wanted to say thanks for making such a wonderful app. i gave you five stars on google play and told everyone how easy it is to use. one thing that I'am having problems with is the partition manager. I'm intermediate with apps and software but I just don't get how to do it. Can you write a small tutorial,or anyone if you know how to do it. I'm just afraid I'll format my internal storage,since I cam't figure out which is which. I've partitioned my sdcard with mini tool partition wizard on PC so I get the whole create/format etc but I just don't know where to start, or which is which. Besides that your app is wonderful . i'm amazed how you created an app with so many tools and an easy ,and finely tuned interface. It's basically Link2sd/foldermount and more in one. Also will you ever have a paid version? Seeing that I've already purchased foldermount/link2sd and more just to get what I get with one app with you I wouldn't mind shelling the money. It's great !! thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Just checking if the translation is finished
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Thanks. I'll make couple of videos on how to use the app very soon.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Please use some other tool to partition and then use Apps2SD.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Please use any one to avoid conflicts.
[Android Apps and Games] Mohan04:
i already said i also used gparted to partition sdcard , both primary fat32 and ext4.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
what error you are getting? please attach screenshot.

[MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION]

Urgent sir

I was updating apps from playstore then an error appeared I think it has a word "acore" then app2sd started to crash. When I rebooted my phone I am having a bootloop. I tried removing my sdcard and reboot and it rebooted but apps are not there. I also tried uninstalling app2sd but still bootloop when sdcard inserted. What should I do?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
First check if your Sd card is ok using another device.

Try below

Remove sd card

boot

edit below files to remove entry for /data/sdext2 and anything containing apps2sd

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

/system/bin/install-recovery.sh

/system/bin/debuggerd

Insert your sd card

reboot
[Android Apps and Games] oldman20:
Excuse if question is stupid: So with this app, i can mount /data/app to external SD?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Apps2sd works on per app basis. You can bind/link a folder using the inbuilt folder mount feature.
[Android Apps and Games] keysikasuy:
Thanks sir but I just reformatted the sd card haha. I will save that trick if ever I experience it again. Anyways how could I edit those sir?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
You can use any root file explorer/editor to edit them. e.g. ES file explorer. In next version i'll add the option to remove mount script.
[Android Apps and Games] oldman20:
thanks, i will try it soon:p
[Android Apps and Games] keysikasuy:
I mean what to put on those scripts sir? Anyways that optioj you gonna put in the next update will do the trick right? If that happens again
[Android Apps and Games] keysikasuy:
Okay another emergency sir [MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION]

I rebooted my phone and now my apps linked are gone. I checked storage info and the data are still there. I checked storage in settings and my sdcard is there. I don't know how to make the apps appear again or make the 2nd partition work. I tried remounting 2nd partition and rebooted still not there. What to do???? :(

"Apps2SD Pro [UID]" root request

Hello again, I'm wondering if "Apps2SD Pro [UID]" root request is part of the app's processes? Accidentally approved it before I realized there was a suffix [UID]. Attach is a screenshot.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Probably sometimes SuperSU is not running the script before Android is loading stuff. Try the advanced method and see if it helps
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Unless you used su {Id} in Apps2SD terminal it should not show but your su manager may have some additional logic so I'm not sure. You may want to contact the su manager dev
[Android Apps and Games] Selexo:
Adoptable storage seem broken. "Partition Tool" detects my adoptable storage (created finally with different tool), warns I should use "Partition Tool (Adoptable)" click on it and it states "Error: Adoptable storage not found. Do you want to force adoptable storage?" Then "Success......" with a retry.. I had to use a another app "Root Essentials" to create my adoptable storage.

Problem is, it has always said adoptable not found, do I want to force, with a succeed, but kicks you back to root menu with same looping messages. Every other action seems to work though so I didn't refund the app. But thought you might want to know. Listed terminal data below

BTW; Reason I picked your app first is you actually have a separate complete pro app, instead of some stupid 2nd app just to license the main app or some broken in app purchase feature. Plus you also support family share feature so I can use this on my wife's phone if the need arises.

2nd thanks for the SD benchmark option, I have seriously got to invest in a faster write card as mine turned out scary slow.

I did wish at some point the app manager had the option to filter only what was on the SD card already so that I could uninstall them properly before the partition and format.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I'll look into the partition tool. As for apps on sd card filter, you can use the On sdcard filter from menu in "Link apps to SD card" option
[Android Apps and Games] guastucci:
Maybe because Samsung do not support adoptable storage? We have to do it by ADB.
[Android Apps and Games] Selexo:
Probably

Linking apps to a 2nd partition and having adoptable partition tool kinda implies (by not much of a stretch) that this app is going to set this up in house on the app. Even asks to force? So yes Samsung in all its infinite wisdom doesn't natively support (taken out of system menu) but still supports it OS level which you can access via ADB or in a terminal on phone with root, but isn't this tool using root to do all this anyways in app with a nice pretty GUI. (Btw loving the layout and huge amount of data feedback the app gives) Linking apps to sd card isn't native to any brand phone.

Anyways I digress, I am simply stating that given what I expected to see happen vs what actually did happen when I was playing with certain features in the app were less than ideal given its an option anyways. In fact the more I think about this issue the more I wonder why "partition tool (adoptable)" is even in the app. Sure I would love this to be the jack of all trades in app management options on initializing my SD card. But being able to link to a secondary partition does negate the need for adopting the SD card to internal memory... Unless we're talking about having adoptable storage and the secondary partition at the same time?

I don't mind being at fault if that's not what the developer intended "partition tool (adoptable)" to be used ?for the actual setup of adoptable space?. But I went throughout every help menu, every video tutorial (must be relatively new as I came up blank on this piticular menu option) and figured that's what it was intended for but could never find if it's suppose to trigger the native format menu. I figured that I could just adopt my SD card and not have to micro manage the apps to the second partition so I tried that first.

I would love to know if I was off base with what I expected that option to do. That's why I just dropped the info in my post and left it at that, while enjoying the many other awesome features it provided. If the app needs a native system menu for adoptable storage to work the yeah the app is working as intended and I'm sorry I forgot to mention Samsung doesn't expose this option when initializing the SD card. Sorry dev. He did say he would look at it to see if it was at least working as intended because after a retry it never failed to succeed when asked to force and you say yes (loop).

Wonderful app anyways.
[Android Apps and Games] justjr:
Well, pretty sure the option is there so you have more options to choose from.

[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
1) Android doesn't create split partition where a part of the SD card is used as adoptable and other as portable.

2) When you adopt an app Android still keeps the obb and external data in emulated SD card most of the time

3) If you use the adoptable partition tool to create split partition, you'll be able to adopt the app as well as bind obb to portable partition thus moving everything

4) you can also format the portable partition as ext4 and use it for app linking since not all apps are adoptable even with root.

Hope it clarifies the purpose of the adoptable partition tool
[Android Apps and Games] justjr:
Portuguese translation revised and completed, just wait for dev to push!

You can always review my review ;)

Maybe it helps, I just installed pro version and it does not have this bug, free version does keep some screens with os language when you choose english (I think only the home screen is in English when you choose english).

[MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION] what exactly the clean up 2nd partition option do? I guess it does not wipe it, since wipe is right below it.
[Android Apps and Games] lee99:
Vicky I have question for you. Can you make "cancel" button for backup/restore option?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Cancel on backup can be done but on restore is difficult and possibly dangerous (data corruption/loss)
[Android Apps and Games] Selexo:
Wow, that was an awesome explanation. Thanks for giving the time to do so. Hope the "Partition Tool (Adoptable)" is fixed for my device then at some point. I now just use the terminal to set up adoptable storage as my phone is rooted but it's not permanent till I can get around to buying a really fast microsd card as 10meg writes are horrible, tho 30meg reads could be better.

apps2sd (pro) forgets links to 2nd partition for apks and libs / mount script errors

Hi Vicky,

I had apps2sd running successfully on my g900f Samsung S5 klte with Lineage OS 14.1 and super su 2.79 SR3. However, after making a clean install of the 20170308 nighthly of Lineage OS, I also clean-installed apps2sd and re-formatted my second sdcard partition (unfortunately, I discovered the new restore apps from sdext2 feature too late). Since then I can't get linking apks and libs to the 2nd sdcard partition to work any more. To be more precise, it works until I reboot. After that, apps2sd reports that the apk/lib exists on the 2nd partition, but isn't linked, see attached screenshot. By the way, foldermount (binding folders) works without issues.

I tried with three different SU options:

1) super su 2.79 SR3 beta 20170114 build with namespace separation option deactivated and super su enabled during boot.

2) Lineage OS su addon

3) Magisk su 11.1

None of them work. My feeling is that it is somehow related to the systemless root features of Lineage OS, although I'm not sure. I also tried all options for installing the mount script. With init.d option (ignoring systemless root), the scripts are installed as expected, but linking still does not work as described above. With the manual installation via the recovery, I found a small issue in the /data/apps2sd/mount-script-recovery.sh:

Some of the paths are given there as /etc/ or /bin/, and some are given as /system/etc/ and /system/bin/, the former yielding errors basically because the paths without the /system/ prefix are not found, at least in my TWRP 3.02-2 recovery. I modified the /etc/ to /system/etc/ and the script runs without errors, however also not solving the above link issue.

What else could I do?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
The issue should fixed in next version
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
What is your android version and what mount method you are using to create the mount script?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Set your email in the app and send device info from the app after reboot
[Android Apps and Games] iwanova:
I have same problem with him, I use Foldermount method and Magisk SU.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Try the advanced method to create the mount script and see if it helps
[Android Apps and Games] guastucci:
Worked pretty well for me...
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Use the "Fix permission on 2nd partition" option from left navigation drawer in "Link apps to SD card" and see if it helps if not then set selinux to permissive
[Android Apps and Games] iwanova:
I'm doing it. Waiting for the results.
[Android Apps and Games] E_Ben:
Hi Vicky,

Fix sdext2 permissions didn't help, but setting selinux permissive solves the problem. Do you understand why I do need this and most other users don't? How are chances for a fix in apps2sd not requiring selinux permissive for linking to sdext2 work properly?
