Scanning extra partition for linked apps is not very reliable. What I can do instead is add a functionality to export linked apps information then in new device you can import the settings and Apps2SD will link everything according to setting. It'll be a pro only option though.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
1) I'll make it unchecked by default

2) Android already uses that directory, the reason i use Apps2SD directory is to avoid clash and to identify it's moved by the app. May i know the reason why you want this? is there any issue?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Probably it has to do something with selinux context set on 2nd partition. I don't have a solution as of now. You can use the broken app cleaner to clean all the unwanted files on 2nd partition
[Android Apps and Games] curioct:
That's fine, although I am still struggling with the pro version but that may change with with a new rom, I do have an error.db to send you from the beta pro version
[Android Apps and Games] idoit:
Exactly because Android uses this directory is why I want it to be there. I believe if an app uses INTERNAL/Android/... as a directory, it won't use EXTERNAL/Android/... as another directory, so it won't overlap with this functionality. So it would make more sense to stick with EXTERNAL/Android/... instead of EXTERNAL/Apps2SDAndroid/...

If you can put an option in settings, it'll do for me too. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Some apps do use external/Android directory. There is a reason why it's there. I still don't see the benefit here. If you can explain the benefit i'll add else i'll not because it's a big change
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Sorry but why do we need that step "unchecked by default".... It must be checked before linking anyway. Isn't it?
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman:
I totally agreed... Suppose must be checked by default instead of unchecked:)
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
I've miss typed "after" when I should wrote "before". Glad you still got me right anyway. Sorry
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Ok, I'll add an option in settings to uncheck it by default
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Whoa!?... LOL!... I hate to be repetitive, Vicky, but I guess we got a bit confused here: Iceman and I agreed that the natural, positive way is to have it CHECKED BY DEFAULT, instead of unchecked; because we all must check it in order to link anyway. Why do we need to be checking it every linking time? Nevertheless, I can see Iceman thanked you, because you will add an option in settings to... UNCHECK IT BY DEFAULT!... Guess we're throwing you way too much requests at once!... Sorry for that
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It's better to disable apps before linking but it removes the icon from home screen. So some people want it unchecked by default.

No problem with the request as long as it is useful and doable ?
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Ok... Since I don't have such issue, I was not aware
[Android Apps and Games] Night Thrasher:
im having problem with the app, on creating the partition it create successfully and needs to reboot, after the reboot there's an error "2nd partition's file system couldnt be determined". I've tried f2fs, ext4 and ext3 but same error.

[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
After creating partition you need to create mount script

hi installed card2sd root in my Samsung Galaxy Duos 7102 and hibernated Samsung galaxy link and google drive and drop box.

Now I cannot access google play, my phone gallery, my SD card show 0 files.

I also clicked on remove lag but it said phone SD card does not have additional partition. So I did not move ahead. Just backed out. Now ive resetted my phone.. But I cant still open my gallery and google play ?

Any idea what has screwed my phone? I uninstalled app2sd root but I think that has not reversed the changes it made to system files.:crying:
[Android Apps and Games] Night Thrasher:
Even there's an error after creating the parition and rebooting?

Hi [MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION], I'm having issues with this app such as fc on linked apps or just buggy experience, sometimes I have to reinstall the app more than one time to get it work, the strange thing is that this never happened before :(
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Attach the logcat and send me device info from Error report page

Also send the device info i asked earlier
[Android Apps and Games] Alex_Gamer:
XDA labs
[Android Apps and Games] Alex_Gamer:
Am trying but the app just stuck here
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Are you using any ad blocker? disable it reboot then send again. Also are you using v8.2?
[Android Apps and Games] Alex_Gamer:
I don't use it and yes I have 8.2
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I'm seeing many selinux denials. Can you set selinux to permissive then run the app and check if it works?
[Android Apps and Games] Alex_Gamer:
Already set to permissive
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
ok. Can you unlink xda labs, reinstall then link everything apart from odex and see if it works
[Android Apps and Games] Alex_Gamer:
Its working now, I hope the app won't disappear on reboot. Anyway any suggestion to avoid this? I use the auto link option so I have to unmark odex and lib to prevent that problem?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Only odex should be fine

Hi,

can you give some further explanation about the new warning about sdcard file system ?

I linked obb - ext data fine until now, why the warning says that I can't link if I don't apply the fix ?

Also, it is written with orange letters that if I lost data or other stuff I should revert the fix. Is data lost permanently ?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] nu66ie:
I too had troubles after updating to the new version. Removing the fix did not solve the issue either. At one point the SD card showed no data. Unmounting/mounting fixed that. Google Play was crashing, so was settings.

Even after doing the rollowing, things were not right.

Cleared cache. Apps and dalvik.

Restored previous version of Apps2sd

Restored Nandroid backup

I finally formatted the SD card and flashed the stock rom and all seems good now.

UPDATE:

I just installed the new version on a clean install of 5.0.2. After applying the fix and rebooting, everything Google started crashing and the SD card showed no data. Could not take screenshot either. Reversing the fix appears to have corrected the issues this time.

UPDATE 2:

After a few hours of tinkering with it. I gave up. I did another fresh install, and loaded the previous version (apk only) and started over. Everything is back to normal. I don't know enough about the process to proceed. I don't understand why restoring the Nandroid backup didn't fix whatever happened.

Android 5.0.2 - Galaxy Tab S - Baseband Version T807TUVU1BOE1

Help! I can't Revert modification of SD card filesystem because I've uninstalled Apps2SD.

And I can't install anything (i tried to reinstall apps2sd) from google play since it said my storage is full. Now I can't read the internal or external SD card. Any script to revert the mod?

Thanks for great app and pro apk. ım using since 7 months. Greetings from Turkey.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
If obb linking and folder mount is working on your device then the fix is not needed. You can check Don't show again and click cancel. I've updated the warning message to make it more clear.
[Android Apps and Games] nu66ie:
Thank you for the info and quick update. I guess seeing the warning and being somewhat new to this caused a little panic. I appreciate your effort and this awesome app!

My launcher is missing a lot of images and Icons. Happened when I restarted after latest update.

Also noticed some apps don't work, such as Fdroid, Titanium backup etc.

From what it looks like is there is No SD, most show up as /media_RW/extSDcard

Is this correct?

That may be why some apps are not working correctly, and I am assuming this is so.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Did you apply the new fix?
[Android Apps and Games] eracet:
Maybe I missed the new fix.

I did the latest update and version.

Sorry if I overlooked in the comments about what to do.

I will look over the previous comments again and see what the fix was.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I was asking if you applied the fix.

[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
no problem :)
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
Forgive me if this has been covered on one of the 200 pages.

"Automatically link newly installed apps (optional) and updated apps"

Does this mean I can explicitly tell the app to always move e.g. Microsoft Word to the SD card and it will do it automatically every time there is an update? I have tried several tools and I always have to do this manually - which is very inconvenient. I wouldn't want to redefine the generall app installation location .. just maintain a list of apps I always want to be moved (and then forget about it).

And I do understand that you need a second partition on the SD-card .. I assume I need to backup everything on it before I first launch your app?

Cheers

Hey there, so after I created my second patrion and mounted, my sd card says its corrupt. I can still use the app but now things that need the SD can't see it. Very odd. What info do you need from me? The fix messes my phone up. Lol. Galaxy S5. Android 6.0 Btw.

Goto "Link apps to sd card" then from left navigation drawer click on "Revert modification of SD card filesystem"

I did that before I asked the question. I've tried it 5 different ways and all come up with the SD card being corrupt. I love the app Btw, that's why I'm panicking that it my not work now. Lol

sdcardfs vs fuse not working J5 5.1.1

I need help to revert this change. When I open apps2sd today it told me something like " Your device uses sdcardfs ...You can not move OBB .. Apps2SD can solve this problem by enabling the standard file system "fuse" of Android. ......... Want to continue? A reboot will be required. After I said yes restart I have no access to the sdcard. I cannot see the photos nor the sdcard on fexplorer or on the android storage info.

How do I fallback this modification?
[Android Apps and Games] arpcpro:
Thanks for the fast reply. I've got the sdcard back to normal. I had read this answer a few post above. But as I was never waiting 2 minutes for all the apps to appear after pressing "Link apps to sd card", the left navigation drawer showed nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
Thanks, I do have an issue that I think your app won't cover but since it's all about freeing up internal memory it might be worth looking into. Many times I run out of memory for app installation the fault is with "download manager". What I need to do then is clear cache/data for that default app and then I usually have enough free space to install.

I would be looking for a tool that simply wipes cache/data on that app on a daily basis.

Interested in looking into this?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
In pro version there is a task scheduler where you can schedule cache cleaning or any shell script
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
Just checked .. cache 1,2 GB .. data 33 MB .. so the culprit is "cache" .. but I usually clear both :)

Will download and go pro asap.

---------- Post added at 07:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 AM ----------

I read that linking requires this second partition .. can I go without a second partition if I just want to use "move"?

---------- Post added at 07:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------

I see the cache cleaning for an app also removes external data .. not 100% sure what that is but I checked it for download manager. I can't find how to e.g. tell the app to move Microsoft Word to SD automatically each time there is an update .. maybe you can give me a starting point.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Automatically moving an app to sd card is only supported for adopted storage on MM+. But you can set the default install location to sd card from menu in "Link apps to SD card" option. If the app supports native app2sd it'll be installed on sd card

yes. Is your sd card file system sdcardfs?

No

First partition is exfat

Uninstall the pro version, install the free version, then use broken app cleaner, then wipe dalvik cache, then clear play store data and cache, uninstall free version, reboot, wait for couple of hours, install pro version from play store and see if it works

I am currently link2sd user. How to switch from link2sd to your app?
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
Hmm .. the options for binding aren't clear for me .. why would I delete source files after a bind? Wouldn't I bind a local folder to an external sd directory in a way that the files are moved to external and are only linked to internal? So no files would be local to be deleted?!
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
Seeing your options for scheduling cache cleaning for single apps it would IMHO be very simple to include a scheduling service for this. Just like cache cleaning you could add apps to list and have them moved either at a specified time or by event. Everything seems to be there that just needs to be put together as such a scheduling item. Would really be nice to e.g. add the microsoft apps to a list and have them moved after they are installed .. even on Android below MM. Please take this as a feature request :)
[Android Apps and Games] Eversmile23:
Sometimes Apps2SD not responding.

I observed a peculiar thing : Sometimes this app does not respond from the beginning, I mean from the screen 'Checking root access'. Also while trying to move to 2nd partition, it says 'disabling the app' but it continues endless. I had tried it after rebooting, then I had succeeded. Is something wrong or needs improvement in the app. Another thing I wanted to know is what benefits I can get if I convert this app into a system app?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
That means it's not able to acquire root shell. Try to reinstall your super user management app.

Apps2SD uses some apis which are restricted to System apps on LP+(On LP+ i use shell commands which don't have all the info required). So if you are on below LP then conversion is not required. On LP+ if you convert Apps2SD to system app, it can access the apis so work around commands will not run.

"Optimizing app 1 of 11" on boot

I installed Apps2SD 8.7 on my BLU Life XL (Android 5.1) and it works great (almost) at moving my apps to the SD card.

The problem is whenever I restart my phone, I get the message "Optimizing X of 11" which cycles through 11 apps, adding about 5 minutes to the restart time. Moving/unmoving apps affects the number of apps optimized, but it is not entirely 1 to 1. Sometimes after unmoving a single app app there is no optimizing in subsequent reboots. Other times unmoving an app only decreases the number of optimizing apps by 1, or not at all. Then moving a single app can return it to optimizing 11 apps at each reboot. I've spent several days trying to understand the pattern, experimenting with moving different components of each app one at a time, but I am at a complete loss to understand it.

Is this a known issue? Any suggestion for resolving it? Already tried clearing the Dalvik cache and data cache with no effect.
[Android Apps and Games] Eversmile23:
Still same problem persisting.

I replaced my SuperSu 2.71 with SuperSu 2.74(by Chainfire). Did u mean this or I will have to do something else. Please explain. 'Apps2SD' still now failing to accomplish some tasks. I am on 'marshmallow', converted 'Apps2SD' to system app.

my question, which one is better? adoptable storage or the classic 2nd partition linking? why?

[Android Apps and Games] owilsky:

I found a bug: I set the application language to English but after a restart some or most texts are again in my ROM language which is German. Settings still say English...
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It's a ROM specific issue. Linking dex/odex or sometimes data triggers this

I have a problem

i'm using marshmallow (latest nightly)(Xperia M) . with selinux set to permissive mode. Super su 2.5. 2nd partition with ext4. APPS2SD 8.6

The problem i am facing now is, after linking apps to sd card, the app icon is changed to android icon. and i cannot start the app. it leads to error. like.. java.lang.classnotfoundexception.

this same problem happens to most of apps. Chrome, Trails frontier game, es file explorer. etc.

I have tried changing the option " Disable app before linking" But that does not help me.

I have noticed that, this problem is arising recently.
