There is a huge problem with this app and Android

.. 6.0.

I have installed about 50 apps, and everything was going (somewhat) fine until I rebooted.

When I rebooted, Android showed a message "There is an internal problem with your device, and it might be unstable until you factory data reset." then everything goes downhill.

I get constant "XXX has stopped working", there are so much of this message that the ui is completely unresponsive and I have to turn off the phone.

I was really wondering what makes this message happening, so I put another SD card and... Magic, the message dissapears, and Apps2SD says that it of course can't mount the external partition.

Rather :

- I linked an app that I shouldn't have but I doubt because my phone works correctly withouth the SD card

- there is a compatibility option a should deactivate in Apps2SD but I don't know what (I always link data+odex+dalvik+apk)

- There is a serious bug (and I think it is this cases, because there are a lot of other bugs in Apps2SD, this one would just be another)

Edit : the problem seems to happen with the relink partition at boot parameter. I disabled it and every thing seems fine since. But, I can't access my apps.
[Android Apps and Games] jot-ess:
"Advanced Method": Sorry for the maybe dumb question - I read about using the Advanced Method but I don't find anything inside the app to choose a method. Could anybody give me a hint?

For context:

On my Samsung S5 neo suddenly the 2nd partition of my external SD card was not to mounted any more. First partition was accessible. Now after several reboots, it seems to work again, but I would still like to understand.

After booting the system still presents me with the message "There is an internal Problem with your device. Possibly it behaves instable till yout reset it to default." (translated backwards from German.)

And App2SD said (while mounting didn't work):

"2nd partition was not mounted, some apps might not be detected. A soft reboot is required to mount

You can fix this issue by recreating mount script with "Advanced method" mount method"

Hi

Consider formatting your SD card and restarting from scratch. (you can format it with android's native tool)
[Android Apps and Games] juandante:
UPDATE : I had a problem with Apps2SD and this is an update to confirm that there is a problem with this app.

I have handfull apps linked (from banking apps, forum apps, social apps, etc), and when I mount the partition at boot, my phone continually displays that every linked application has stopped working.

I searched for different fixes :

- Use "SD Fix" in Apps2SD (although, there is no clear explanation of what this does)

- Selected the fix permissions from the Apps2SD menu, and I even manually fixed the permissions (and even : chmod -R a+rwx)

- Disabled all the linked apps

- I tried also "SD Fix" from a scheduled task from Apps2SD menu

It seems that after a fresh reboot, the apps run fine but few minutes later they start to crash. In the logcat, I see many "permission denied" errors for each app, as if Android doesn't want the app to read from the external SD card.

But why do they run after a fresh boot ? Would Android have a scheduler that restores the permissions and prevent writing to external SD card of each app after boot ?

The only solution : disable mount script. If I manually mount the partition after the boot, I will have the /data/sdext2 but obviously the apps are not loaded.
[Android Apps and Games] arnoldoree:
Hi. Has anyone experienced the issue where folder mounts are not successful on startup? I am able to create the folder mounts, and observe the copy to the destination SD card filesystem is successful, and moreover am able to observe that the bind has been successful, as both access locations increase / decrease in size simultaneously.

I have had the folder mount at startup succeed on one occasion, but on all other startups has failed.

I am using Lineage OS 17.1 (Android 10) on a Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus.

Is the Apps2SD application still being actively maintained by the developer? As the character of this issue appears to be related to changes in the Android modus operandi with regard to startup / initialization.
[Android Apps and Games] LeonardVincentJosol:
Hi there.

I've been using this app for almost 3 years now. I recently flashed a custom ROM (Resurrection Remix) on my Redmi 4X(santoni).

I installed several apps, and subsequently linked them on my sd card 2nd partition (ext4). It worked very well, all was good until i rebooted my phone.

All the apps disappeared. This was no cause for alarm to me as, after using this app for several years, have grown accustomed to this. a simple remounting of the 2nd partition would do the trick.

However, now it seems it could no longer mount it. it gave me this error:

"Mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/public:179,65 on /data/sdext2 failed. Device or resource busy"

Now, i haven't tried anything drastic yet. it's getting late from where i live, and plan on trying again tomorrow.

I hope some of you guys can help.

Thank you very much in advance :):):)
[Android Apps and Games] LeonardVincentJosol:
oh, man. i'm having the exact same problem. :(
[Android Apps and Games] dan60:
After a reboot the same happens to me and I can't discover the reason (my ROM is OREO's original 8.0). I wonder if my ROM is the problem.

But, maybe, to mount 2nd partition you should access apps2sd's configs and help the app find su.d/post-fs-data.d/service.d by providing the path. For me it's "/data/supersu_install" (without quotation).

I thought you could try it.
[Android Apps and Games] LeonardVincentJosol:
my path is /data/adb/service.d

pretty sure it is, since i was initially able to create 2 partitions on my sdcard.

sdext2 just won't mount :(
[Android Apps and Games] Scarlett Vicencio:
Hello I am using Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime and rooted by Magisk I have a 120 GB sdcard that has 2 partition the 1st partition is 100 GB and the 2nd is 20 Gb I try to create those parition via partition tool in the app, minitool partition wizard and Gparted run by linux. When the partition is created via Gparted its start to run properly but just like others after I link one app or even create a mount script my phone just reboot by itself and after there is a message about 2nd partition can't be mounted soft reboot is required. I dont know what to do I want to make it run smoothly because it become annoying that it aways reboot on its own everytime I open the app or select link app option in the menu.

2nd partition is 20 GB, primary, the file system is ext4 and has a label of sd-ext
[Android Apps and Games] LeonardVincentJosol:
i gave up on apps2sd, man. i had problems with it so i decided to just flash a new ROM, clean install.

it's not so bad cause just about all my essentials apps consume about 7gb only. i have 14gb still remaining. i'll live with that rather than endure the headaches brought by this app

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] dan60:
Hi Leonard.

As I've been also trying hard to get Apps2SD working, and by reading you experienced a good interaction with it when you had a previous ROM installed (before resurrection remix), I wonder whether ROMs are crucial to the right performance of Apps2SD? What ROM did you have previously?

My Moto Z Play with Oreo 8.0 ROM won't get Apps2SD working fine. A similar issue you face with Resurrection Remix happens to me.

By the so many times I've been trying to run it properly, I'm reluctant to admit a total failure.

Also, by reading so many users reporting this same problem of of APPS2SD deleting linked apps to SD and losing its linkage to the card after a reboot, I'm forced to believe it's whether a ROM problem or a Apps2SD problem itself.

Best regards.
[Android Apps and Games] LeonardVincentJosol:
i think it is. i initially started on MIUI EU on android 7. it had 0 problems. i only began experiencing the disappearing apps on reboot issue upon upgrading to havoc android 9. the simple solution was a soft reboot.

on android 10, nothing works. i just straight up, quit after several tries.
[Android Apps and Games] dan60:
So I'd guess the problem starts with ROM Oreo (android v 8.0) and so on, as you had no problem with Android 7.0.

This might be interesting for the developer vickybonick to verify and release a new update for Apps2SD 👍🏻

Hello developer!
[Android Apps and Games] LeonardVincentJosol:
yeah. unless an update comes that addresses all these problems, i'm staying away from this app. i kinda figured a little extra storage won't matter if you're having performance issues. and boy did i have them.

aside from the recurring problems i mentioned, my device slowed down dramatically.

now 2 weeks removed of apps2sd, i gotta say i don't miss it
[Android Apps and Games] dan60:
Thank you, Leonard. I'm more confident now and will uninstall Apps2SD as well. Let's keep on watching Google Play and this thread, hoping better news will come soon. Best regards.
[Android Apps and Games] axel979:
Hello!

I hope you can help me, I do not know if it is the place but I understand little about forums, and I do not know where my question can go.

i have a:

xiaomi redmi note 4 root (systemless)

with TWRP installed, and a Rom of miui 12 adapted for my cell phone because the update for my cell phone did not arrive.

I use app2SD to create an ext 2 / ex4 partition, it creates the partition for me and when I reboot and choose the partition and the filesystem (when I create the mount script)

I choose ext2 / ext4

and "normal" mode

and it tells me "command error"

I tried to make app2sd a system application and there was no difference,

also partition inside and outside the cell phone with MiniTool Partition Wizard Free without success.

try using Link2Sd to create mount script

tells me:

"No such file or directory"

I tried again with app2sd with mode:

"I have init.d support on my device"

And he told me:

" Error!

ini.d folder not found, please add init.d support to your device or uncheck init.d to create mount script "

I honestly do not understand what it means, I am very ignorant about it.

I have magisk

if I select:

"I have su.d support on my device / I use the Magisk interface"

tells me:

Error!

It is not possible to determine the path of su.d, you can set the path for "su.d / post-fs-data.d / service.d" with the settings and try again "

again I don't understand what I have to do

I used root explorer to look for that directory and the truth was I didn't find anything at all because I don't know where to start looking, I understand very little or nothing.

Finally if I use the advanced method it tells me again:

"command failed"

and I don't know what else I can do

I was investigating and apparently my cell phone does not allow mounting the 2nd partition, and supposedly I can do it via commands,

but since I have no idea I was guided from this page.

Solución: 'Error Script de Montaje no puede ser creado Link2SD' | Mira Cómo Hacerlo

Muchos usuarios, actualmente se hacen la misma pregunta ¿Cómo podemos solucionar…

miracomohacerlo.com

As soon as I put this command:

"Mount -t ext2 / dev / block / vold / 179: 2 / data / sdext2"

he throws me

No such file or directory.

somebody could help me?

I bought a memory of 128 gigabytes exclusively for this and now I find this problem, in the past with another cell phone I could use app2sd without much problem, but now there is no case.

I don't know if this helps but, the first time I use app2sd when mounting the mount script, it threw command failed, and in the same way it allowed me to pass the app to the sd, but when I rebooted the device, the apps disappeared,

I had to use the option (restore applications (ext2)) and still lost many applications that could not recover.

I am sorry if my English is bad, but I do not understand and I use the translator, I am also sorry to be bothering with so much problem unnecessarily but I cannot find a solution by my hand

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] dan60:
Hi Axel979.

Just because I had been through the same problem (even bricked my phone and had to flash a previous system image through TWRP), yesterday I just uninstaleled apps2sd and guess? I have no problem anymore 😜

I came to this decision mostly because I do feel apps2sd will work up to Android v. 7
[Android Apps and Games] LeonardVincentJosol:
i would recommend against using this app, honestly. i just feel there hasn't been any support for it on higher versions of android.

i had no problems on miui eu, based on android 7. upon flashing havoc android 9, things went awry.

but, it's up to you. anyway, try this one /data/adb/service.d

it worked for me :) :) :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeonardVincentJosol:
agreed!! been almost a month without apps2sd and i gotta say i don't miss it at all!
[Android Apps and Games] axel979:

[Android Apps and Games] romilspm:
Hello. I know it's this is old but I need this feature. Is this compatible with magisk? Thanks for anyone who can answer.
[Android Apps and Games] arpcpro:
Yes it is compatible. I use AppMgr III on a phone with Magisk and they don't interfere with each other.
[Android Apps and Games] feromgar:
It's already in ext4. In theory CM 12.1 supports f2fs. I try that and get back at you.

Update: It seems I didn't activate f2fs support when I installed CM 12.1. I did erase everything on the micro SD and created the partitions anew with MiniTool Partition Wizard, and everything seems fine now. I had to use my pc to format the microSD to ext4, though. The in-app partition utility showed an error about size being too large or something.

Thank you again for this great app!
[Android Apps and Games] metropolitans:
I want to thank Vicky very much for helping me solve a big problem I recently had. I was trying to format a 128gb card with a 2nd partition in Windows and no matter what I tried, neither Apps2SD or Link2SD could see the 2nd partition. So no script could even be attempted. I had tried Mini Tool Partition Wizard, plus Easeus Partition Master, and EXT2, EXT3, and EXT4 formats. Nothing worked. But I had no issues with a 32gb micro sd card formatted in Windows. So I emailed the developers of both apps to see if they knew why.

I never heard back from the developer of Link2SD, but Vicky graciously responded the same day and told me to partition the card with GParted. That was the key. Now the second partition can be recognized without any problem.

In case someone else runs up against the same problem and you are on Windows, what you need to do is boot up using a linux CD that has GParted on it. The ISO image to make the bootable CD can be downloaded from links here: http://gparted.org/download.php. If you are on Windows 8 or 10 you might have to temporarily disable Secure Boot in the BIOS settings before you can boot into the CD. Also, be very very careful in GParted that you have the sd card selected and NOT your hard drive before doing any operation. Otherwise you can do irreparable harm to your operating system.

Hopefully this can help someone else who encounters the same problem using a large capacity micro sd card.

Thanks again to Vicky for being so helpful!

[Android Apps and Games] pathologo:
Linking Apps2SD to SD with another tool and using Apps2SD's function 'Clean up 2nd partition' removes all Apps2SD files from SD.

Also, Apps2SD always creates an additional link in the dalvik cache, as compared to other tools e.g. Link2SD. One link is pointing to the .dex and the other is pointing to that link. Normal behavior?

Is it really necessary to relink all applications on every boot? Link2SD doesn't do that and an option to turn that off would be nice. (All 3 options to relink odex, dex and lib on startup are turned off.)

A few seconds earlier the same notification says "Initializing Apps2SD". Is that also necessary? When Apps2SD is not installed anymore, all works anyway.

But, all in all, Apps2SD's mount script actually works on my device, unlike Link2SD. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Just copy all the files/folders to your sdcard folder(normally /storage/sdcard1).

Yes the partition tool should work on your device
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I'll add a check not to remove Apps2SD on clean up. I would suggest not to move/link Apps2SD to sd card.

Yes creating 2 links is normal (It's done to avoid crash on some ROMs)

It is rebinding the external folders, obb and any folder mounts. You can hide the notification in settings in latest version

It is to configure all the settings (e.g. swapiness, swap, folder mount, sd booster etc). If you haven't set any of these, it's just a dummy notification. You can hide the notification in settings in latest version.

[Android Apps and Games] knightofzealot:
I cannot download or update any app after linking apps to 2nd partition. The download always stuck at 50-60%ish and never finishes. I can only download again after unlinking all apps and then relinking them all again, which of course is a huge waste of time. I have tried

reformatting and repartition sd card,

deleting and recreating mount script

remounting 2nd partition

turning off auto link

using broken app cleaner + cleaning play store cache (as stated in the app's web)

delete invalid link and invalid binds,

and even reflashing ROM! However it just does not work.

No idea what to set it to? It's in link apps settings

If someday, somehow, you remembered it, can I please ask you to share it with me? Thank you.

Still looking for an answer now
[Android Apps and Games] Techguy777:
su.d/post-fs-data.d/service.d path that magisk uses only I don't know what magisk uses
[Android Apps and Games] Techguy777:
I did it it works to I figured it out.

In link apps go into settings, set su.d/post-fs-data.d/service.d path

This is the path I used copy and paste

/data/adb/post-fs-data.d

Than go into magisk settings mount namespace mode

Set it to global

Than go into apps2sd pro and recreate mount script to advance ext2 or ext 4 whatever it is.

Worked s10 lite android 11 3.1 UI your welcome it took me hours of guessing
[Android Apps and Games] Techguy777:
Hold on after reboot my app was gone then it wouldn't work so I tried other things

Set su.d path was correct and so was global setting on magisk

I then tried recreate mount space on advanced didn't work again

I then tried to recreate mount mount script on I've su.d on my device I use magisk and ext2 because I have ext 2.

That works on reboot my app reappeared and was usable even though in link apps to SD card category inside links to SD said unable to mount on reboot.

We definitely need an update but it is possible
[Android Apps and Games] Techguy777:
You might need init.d injection tool for magisk I installed it but technically it's outdated it doesn't update no more sadly. After 2 reboots apps are showing up if you could confirm please do thank you
