Seems like your sd card is slow. Use a fast sd card
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Apps2SD supports single ext partition or 1st partition as ext and 2nd as fat. You need to change the block path while creating mount script
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It's java regex. It includes both title and message
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Will work on it from next week
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Thanks, I'll check it out
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
You you allow Apps2SD to modify system partition then yes. Sdfix is available for all Android versions. Check if you used select/rearrange modules to hide it
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
For MM+ you need to apply Apps2SD SDFix and create a SDFix task on boot in the task scheduler
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
There's an issue in backup/restore if size is bigger then 2-3 gb i think. I'll check it out
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Do you use SuperSu or Magisk?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Is there any error when you create the script using su.d option?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Probably linked files are not available when xposed is trying to load the modules
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
On MM+ Apps2SD creates GPT and for LP and below it creates MBR.

For MM+ you need to apply Apps2SD SDFix and create a SDFix task on boot in the task scheduler

Hi.

Sorry for the digression.

Regerding this discussion, it will be very nice if you could write some guidelines for using Apps2SD with systemless root. What could be done with it without loosing systemless and/or safety net? Which Apps2SD options could be used and which could not? Is there any chance for writing Magisk module?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
If you don't want the system partition to be modified then always press No when Apps2SD asks. Modules which require system modification will automatically fail/be skipped.

I don't have any intentions to make Magisk modules
[Android Apps and Games] Kireto00:
I have a very big problem .......

Every app i install it or install it from googleplay

The link of data is corrupted every time it auto linked why this problem happen ?

However, every other things data and obb ..... Is linked successful ....

Pls anyone help me

Memo... I have systemlles root and have busy box installed with magisk
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Is there any error? Capture logcat after crash and attach
[Android Apps and Games] Kireto00:
there is no error app2sd given its only say that app is linked in notification ...

when open app it dont open because there is no data linked....

so i open app2sd and unistall the app then when i install it again it linked data ....

do u know a solution ??
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
After you open the linked app what happens? Capture logcat after you open the app and attach
[Android Apps and Games] Kireto00:
i am sorry now all apps is linked succesfully it not happen in all apps ....

when it happen again i will take a screen shot to logat then sent it in this thread but for now there is no apps corrupted data ....

but still remember this problem to talk to u when it happen again
[Android Apps and Games] Secuential:
No, there wans't. The only error showed after booting up and the app recognizing it couldn't mount the partition. Now I installed a custom ROM and it is working flawlessly with the script for Magisk, so it was a problem related to the stock ROM of my device. My problem is now solved with the custom ROM :) thanks for the reply!
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
Thanks for the clarification. So it wasn't a mistake by me in minitool, because I had used your partition tool first. I thought I had mistakenly done it in minitool.

I see that the task scheduler is a pro feature. If I purchase the pro version, is it good for all three of my devices, or do I need a separate purchase for each.

Forgive me if I missed it, but I couldn't find this info in the OP or the PlayStore link.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
As long as you use the same Gmail id the app can be used on multiple devices
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
Vicky, thanks for all of your hard work in creating Apps2SD and for all of the support you have provided to all users of this great app.

I just purchased it.

Thanks

I now see that I have both Apps2Sd and Apps2SD Pro showing up on my Android desktop. Are these still 2 different apps and do I need to keep both of them? In addition, When Apps2SD Pro was installed, are the settings imported from the free version?

Thanks, once again.

---------- Post added at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

On my second Nextbook Ares 8A, 6.0.1, x86,when I go to the playstore to try and download the purchased, pro version it gives me an error, you already own this and won't let me download it.

Am I doing something wrong?

Should I download the pro version, linked in the op, for this additional device?

UPDATE: I downloaded the Pro version in the Op and it installed fine. Can I now uninstall the free app? Also, apparently, the settings are not imported, at least for my situation.

On one tablet, I uninstalled the free version and the pro version is still there.

On my first, older, Ares 8 with 5.1.1, the pro version download showed up in the playstore and I was able to download it and install.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Free and pro version are separate apps. Use the import settings option in pro version and everything works fine uninstall the free version. Both should not be used together
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
Forgive me, I did not recall that there was an import settings option. I entered them manually and then uninstalled the free version. Doing it that way, I also had to recreate the mount script.

Does the import settings also import the existing mount script?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It's shown in main activity if the free version is installed
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Actually i didn't ask you to create a SDFix task, I was just saying how it works on MM+ ROMs. Perhaps I wasn't very clear. If it ain't broken don't fix :good:

I've no idea about your issue, maybe someone else can help
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
I didn't think you would. I guess I should move on to my newer device that is working great.

I just spent several hours doing a clean install of Window 7 on a users system who was scammed by one of the groups from your country that trick the user into allowing remote access software to be installed to supposedly fix problems that they had and had them pay ~$150.

A clean install was the only way I could assure them that they would be safe of any other compromizes. I guess I am the family and neighborhood IT guy.

Doesn't your country try to catch these scammers? Yes, I know, way off topic.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It's way off topic
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
Yes, sorry, I was just frustrated that scammers can get away with this!

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

Vicky, here is a question concerning the backup/restore, option.

Can the backup be done to a linux or windows computer, thru mtp by setting a custom output path? If so how would I do that.

I don't have much space left on internal or external SD, or even in the second, ext4 partition, on a 32GB external SD. maybe it is time to get a 64gb, the max my device is quoted to be able to use.

Is there info about this on your linked info page, I have not been there in a while?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
If the external storage is accessible by the device then it can be set as the custom path
[Android Apps and Games] Kireto00:
Here it is the logat of soundcloud and the corrupted data after install it from google play store do u remember my problem

[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Open Apps2SD, goto Error Report, Set your email id, Send device info from menu and pm me the email id
[Android Apps and Games] Kireto00:
Done . waiting for the solution
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
As far as I know, I can see my computer, whether booted into Linux Mint, or Windows 7, through SMB shares, in Total Commander, or Mixplorer.

Does that qualfy?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Pm me the email id
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Use the browse option in custom path if the SMB share is shown then it can be used
[Android Apps and Games] Kireto00:
I dont understand how to pm you in the email ?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Pm me the email address you set in Apps2SD before sending the info so i can filter the report
[Android Apps and Games] Kireto00:
I send it to u in a private message
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
All I see is the folders in my root directory. Would it be seen somewhere in there?

Also, for the first time in many weeks, since 2 days after updating to Apps2sd Pro,

I am seeing this error: mount: mounting/dev/block/mmcblk1p3 on /data/sdext2/failed: invalid argument. I am using the su.d mounting script. A reboot has solved it, but I am wondering now if this will happen again.

As I previously stated, I had no problems in the last month, or maybe month and a half.

UPDATE: I am now trying the advanced method again.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] AndresX:
Hi!, Sorry if this is an obvious question, but this app touches the system partition right? That means that I can't use it if I want to continue being "Systemless root"? I don't want to trigger safetynet... Thanks in advance!

Question

Thank you for this great app! I use it on my AllView tablet (which doesn't support apps moving) with no issues. :good:

I wanted to install it on my smartphone Lenovo A1000 which supports apps moving. I used Force2SD but it lefts big part of the moved app on the internals SD so I had free space on SD card but couldn't install more apps because internal card was full. I replaced F2SD with Apps2SD, did everything as on the tablet. But I started to get android.process.acore error and now I can use my phone for calls only in safe mode. I wanted to ask is it possible Apps2SD to be incompatible with Lenovo A1000, or to be incompatible with devices which support apps moving, or I shouldn't move only these apps which can be moved in the basic way? Or I need to stop Apps2SD from Manager after linking apps?

PS. I forgot to add something probably important. When I first tried to move apps I got dex error so I enabled Force dex linking. But after every restart I have some Linked apps as Partially Linked and space on internals SD decreasing while external SD stays with same space. Is it possible this to cause android.process.acore error?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
For some reason data folder on 2nd partition is getting deleted. Not sure what is causing it. I suggest not to link data folder
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Apps2SD has a check for Systemless root. If any operation requires modification of system partition the app will alert you and ask your permission. You can select Yes or No to system modification request. If you select No system partition will not be touched
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Dex error is due to invalid sepolicy on your device. Even if you force dex linking Android will create them after reboot (The reason for decreased space). The best way to deal with it is either switch to different ROM or set selinux to permissive (which I don't recommend)

android.process.acore crash might be due to something you linked. I suggest you do a factory reset if System partition was not modified else reflash the ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] vessto74:
Thank you! I supposed so bc error didn't happen in Safe Mode. I unlinked the newly moved apps, which were more than 50, and the problem seems to be almost gone, I have it rarely now.

The good thing in my situation is that due to the android error now I have new Samsung Galaxy J3 (6) which unfortunately cannot be rooted and to have Apps2SD.
[Android Apps and Games] bsports666:
Anybody know why I got "bind result" only , 5 total , 5 success , failure 0 ? Because I have linked more than 20 apps.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Symlinks are permanent so they are not required to be linked after reboot but bind mounts need to be mounted after reboot
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
Vicky, I tried the repair option in the partition tool and upon reboot, the error reoccurred.

I did a repair option a second time so far, the error has not reoccurred in more than 24 hours.

Does the repair option use the various fsck binaries, you include to do the repairs?

I do know from many years of using Windows, that sometimes, one can benefit from running the chkdsk more than once, in some cases.

Is that also true of fsck?

Also, before these repairs, the MMC Speed test were, I believe, better after the repairs.

If the error re-occurs again, I will let you know.

I take that back now. I am currently running the test on the 2nd, ext4 partition, and the write speed is currently dropping as it progresses: 0..4 MB/s.

The card is a relatively new, 32 GB Samsung EVO, high speed card formatted with FAT32 on the first and ext4 on the second.

Maybe I should back it up and redo it in MiniTools, and try again?

I do have two more of the Samsungs and one SanDisk Ultra Plus, I could try, also.

Note also, I had done a very recent known good, working, nandroid backup, that I restored then updated again to the Pro version and used the import settings this time around, if that matters.

Finally, I can provide logcats, dmesg and last_kmsg logs, if required.

Thank You, Vicky
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Yes the app includes e2fsck binary to repair ext partitions.

The card seems to be dying or the partition is non repairable. Take backup of 2nd partition, Recreate the partitions (use ext2 for 2nd partition) and restore 2nd partition backup.

Note: if you're running MM+ then creating partition using tools other than Apps2SD partition tool will result in the Corrupt partition notification (even tough the partitions are fine)
[Android Apps and Games] francwalter:
Does this means, if I have a 128 GB sdcard with exFAT and the system doesn't recognize it, saying it is corrupt, if I format it through Apps2SD with exFAT that could be then recognized by the system?

Android 7.0 on Cubot Note Plus.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Check /proc/filesystems file if exfat is there then yes otherwise no
[Android Apps and Games] francwalter:
As I don't see exFAT in filesystems I assume it is not working :(

But I don't see FAT32 neither, only msdos and vfat, I assume these mean FAT32 (msdos=FAT32 and vfat for long filenames)?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
vfat is for fat32
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
I see, that must be why I sometimes see that corrupt partition message? So that even holds true when I have repaired it with Apps2SD's partition tool? Is that also why it also shows sometimes as unsupported?

since I don't have enough free space internally, is there a way to back up the 2nd partition, to my Linux desktop, through and sd card adapter?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
I restored a very recent (10/31), nandroid backup and all seems well again. As a precaution, I may switch out the Ext. SD card.

I had run into problems when restored it from my Ext SD in TWRP where it took many hours to restore. Apparently, that was corrupted.

Fortunately, for me, I had saved that known, good backup, to the internal storage. I did a restore from that and the time to complete it was normal, this time.

So far, so good.

I did look at another Samsung EVO 32GB card on my Linux Mint and I believe it was formatted with your partition tool. It has a fat 32 partition, an android meta data partition and the ext partition.

Is it the meta partition that your tool creates, that the other tools that you say don't work, don't do?

I am using your partition tool now, on the other card and using ext2, for the 2nd, instead of ext4, as per your recommendation.

Thanks, Again
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Android MM+ will show corrupt message in 2 instances:

1) The SD card doesn't have valid partition table but the partitions are actually good and mountable

2) The SD card has valid partition table but the partition is actually corrupt

As for 2nd partition backup you can use below:

1) Use a linux OS to copy the files including owner, group, permission and selinux context (ext attributes)

2) Use Apps2SD Backup utility, I haven't tested it for size bigger than 4 GB. It's planned for next version (if possible)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Is it the meta partition that your tool creates, that the other tools that you say don't work, don't do? Yes (along with some GPT info)
[Android Apps and Games] :
I have very less space in internal partition so I made a adoptable storage, but the problem is that even though there is space in adopted partition the install of apps ask for uninstall of apps , and there is no way I can set install adoptable storage as default location
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
If you are using pro version then enable Auto move to sd card/adoptable storage option in settings. Apps will be installed on internal storage first then Apps2SD will move them to adoptable storage

In need of assistance

So I love this app. It has helped me out wonders. I currently am using a Samsung Galaxy On5 G550T1 rooted running SuperSu and TWRP. Given this device only holds a total of 8GB of storage, I'm in need of an SD card, so I have a 32GB SD card.

Now, I am somewhat a noob at all of this. As far as partitioning an SD card, I haven't done it before and it's a completely different language to me.

So I'm thinking that adopting the storage as internal memory would be my best bet, but someone correct me if I'm wrong. And can someone please tell me how I would go about doing that?? Thank you so much in advance!!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Well that solved the problem though new one popes up. The updates fail for apps in adopted storage.
[Android Apps and Games] Infy_AsiX:
I've been using A2SD for a few months successfully on a stock 6.0.1 ROM with system version SuperSU. It works well for my case of only linking apk and lib files with very limited /data linking.

Now I'm transitioning to using LineageOS Nougat with systemless Magisk. I use it similarly for linking apk+lib and a couple of /data. The issue is sometimes after restarting a large amount of apps go missing all at once. I can only get the old mount apps working again by restoring a Nandroid backup. I've tried recreating the mount script, fixing permission on 2nd partition and there is no Error Report.

What do you recommend I should try changing to prevent the issue occuring? If I prefer to keep passing SafetyNet, do any of the other mount methods stop it working? I'll test and try to see for myself if the other mount methods pass SafetyNet with the Universal SafetyNet Fix v1.10.1 but some guidance on which mount method works or something else that might solve the issue is needed. Thanks for your great work and support!

Problem with licence check

Hello Vicky

About a half a year ago, I purchased Apps2SD Pro and I have been very satisfied with its performance.

About 2 weeks ago, whenever I open the Pro version, I receive the message that the Licence check has failed and the app closes afterwords. Current settings and Links are still active, and I am having no problems with other apps linked by Apps2SD. I still have the non-pro version installed on my phone, and it functions normally. Linked Apps which are updated automatically re-link with no problem.

What shall we do and what information do you need to fix this issue?

Thank you for your assistance in advance

Sincerely
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Uninstall the Pro version then goto play store if you are asked to purchase again then contact play store support
[Android Apps and Games] gutf0005:
Thank you for the quick reply.

Everything seems to have worked after I re-installed the app.

Best wishes!
[Android Apps and Games] makmm:
hello, I have a moto e2 (2015) LTE and I tried using your tool with mokee ROM and magisk v14.0. and for some reason it wont work, when I reboot sometimes a2sd tells me it couldnt get root access. but even if I then try remounting the partition none of the apps I moved appear. but when I try mounting the partition via terminal the apps appear soo.. I don't know what to do halp pls

here's my partition list for ext SD

files - fat32

a2sd -- ext4

swap -- swap lol

Hi i have a problem with symlink, it apply but after i see like a file.. see attach file
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Symlinks don't work on non ext2/ext3/ext4/f2fs filesystems, use bind instead
[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
I just installed apps2sd this morning and I linked my dalvik-cache to the partition in my external sd card and I have one question:

if I install a new app, will it's dalvik-cache get moved as well automatically or do I have to tell apps2sd to do so for it?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I'm not sure linking whole dalvik-cache directory is a good idea, but if it works fine then all dalvik cache files will be created inside the linked folder
[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
well, it's a function included in the app, "link all dalvik-cache files",

and I was interested in exactly this scenario,

because (my) dalvik-cache is constantly expanding after I update few apps

(and after I upgraded to lollipop from kitkat),

and my free space is not much,

so I had to resort to wipe dalvik-cache each time

(and wait for my 136 apps to rebuilt their dalvik on the next reboot)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
That option will not link newer apps. Use auto link option in Settings
[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
correct! I had to use auto-link for dex files,

one more question please?

I found out that it doesn't move system apps of course,

but even some user apps are left out of dex linking,

why is that?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
On some ROMs linking dex causes issue due to incorrect selinux policy. You'll see an error message on Link/Action window if that's the case
[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
no, I didn't see an error, I'm running stock rom,

that wasn't my question though
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Those apps may not have dex files
[Android Apps and Games] Luthiensdad:
Hello, having a serious problem w/ Apps2SD (pro) on my Android TV box. Installs fine from playstore, but upon opening app for 1st run, it checks for root (which it has) & then proceeds to extract some files. During the latter the device freezes completely & controls are completely nonresponsive, requiring removing & reinserting the power cord. Rebooting device from there leads to the same freeze as soon as toast "Apps2Sd has been granted superuser permissions" appears.

Reflashing the device firmware is then the only way to get it to boot again to work. The problem is not the device, as it works fine when the app is not installed. I have tried an uninstall & reinstall of both regular & pro versions with the same result. Box is running Android 7.0. & has an internal hard drive attached as well as 16GB eMMC flash.

Any ideas? I don't think a debug log would be possible as I have to reflash just to get it working again. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Can you take screenshots/picture when it is frozen and attach
[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
I saw it moved dalvik-cache for system apps too,

I unlinked them completely,

but, since I'm new to this app,

could you give me a suggestion?

What should I move?

dex? apk? lib?

edit: or selected apps linked completely?

I switched to this scenario now

thanks again for the help
