Apps on partition 2 are nomore available

Hello to everybody in this gigantic forum.I have registered here a few days ago to find a solution for my apps2sd problem.This is really a brilliant app that I dont want to miss anymore! Thank you very much!

I have been searching now for many hours in this forum, but did not find the solution that fits to my problem:

I rooted my phone with KingoRoot PC-version.

I had installed apps2sd, also superSU, updated the bin-file, disabled namespace separation, installed busybox

from within apps2sd, partitioned the external sd card with ext4 and superSU option.Downloaded many apps from playstore and everything worked perfectly! I linked the apps manualy.

But suddenly, when I told apps2sd to link an app that I had just downloaded, a failure message appeared

saying something like Not Possible to Link.

Then I tried to install another app, but I got the message Not Enough Memory! I opened the phone’s

setting went to Memory and saw that the internal memory was almost full (around 100 MB compared to around 700 MB) when everything was working!

I decided to factory reset my phone, reinstalled apps2sd, superSU and so on.In apps2sd I choosed Wipe mount file, then Recreate mount file and Mount second partition.Everything was ok.Then I restarted my phone, but the previously linked apps dont show up.

I have - for test purpose - installed a few apps (with the setting to automaticly link them) and everything works fine.

But how can I get acces to my previously installed apps?

Data:

apps2SD Pro Version 10.5

Phone: Bestore (Alps) X8, Android 4.4.2

I did not want to open a new thread, but I am also not shure where to address this item.

I am looking forward to get a solution from you!

Thank you and best regards,

seeker24
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
You shouldn't have done a factory reset. Did you wipe 2nd partition as well?
[Android Apps and Games] ch3mn3y:
Ypu cannot access previous apps as thay are not in the system and it doesn't acknowledge them. You meed to reinstall and move any of them, maybe than they will see the data, but probably not.

no, I have left the second partition untouched.

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

ok, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Then reinstall the apps(all apks are stored at /data/sdext2/apk) and manually copy app data from /data/sdext2/data to /data/data. Note: you'll have to set the correct owner and group for the folders to make it work

Hi Vicky,

thanks for the update. Of course I tried the new "Custom path" feature for the Backup. My USB flash drive has plenty of space, all File Managers can see, read and write to the drive. When I want to do a backup of the "sdcard 2nd partition" and select the custom path, I can browse just fine to the USB drive, select the folder I want to put the backup in, but when starting the backup, I got an error :

After "scanning" it said " Command failed"........... I tried again and this time the error was "Segmentation fault"

PS: I did alogcat, see attachment

Any ideas ? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] jce2005:
Hi Vicky,

there is no error report showing that I could send from within the app...... It's empty. I tried several times to backup and got the described errors, but nothing shows in the Error Report. I started "Logcat" from within the app and tried to make a backup, then saved the logcat ( see attached )

Any other ideas ?

Thanks for helping
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Then send the device info from Error Report page

please help
[Android Apps and Games] GreyRainbow:
I am using Resurrection Remix 5.7.3 (An unofficial marshmallow custom ROM).

Adoptable storage doesn't work so I decided to use apps2sd. I have used apps2sd on lollipop with great success.

When I partition my card and use it in my phone. The phone starts thinking of the ext4/ext2 partition as adopted internal storage (but appears as 'corrupted' in setting). I can't use a file manager to view this partition contents but I can link the apps and the apps work too.

The problem is that the ext4 partition becomes the (how do I say it?) Primary storage. Although there is a fat32 partition, apps just can't see it. I can't install apps like Sygic. While installing it gives an error "can't install because app needs external storage. Please insert an SD card". I can use fat32 partition otherwise using a file explorer, I can copy files and stuff.

While setting up I tried these:

-*- I formatted the card as fat32 first. First partition is fat32. And then made the second ext4/ext2 partition.

-*- First partition is larger than 2nd.

-*- Formatted the card as fat32, inserted it in the phone and set it up as portable. Removed it from the phone and then made another ext* partition.

If anyone has it working perfectly on Marshmallow, please guide me.

Thank you.

I am trying to get Apps2SD working correctly on my Galaxy S5 running Android 6.01. When I create a second partition on my SD card, I am no longer able to select storage card as the default destination for photos in the camera app. Also when I connect the phone to my Windows pc via USB I only see the internal memory not the sd card. If i format the sd card as a single partition (portable) neither of these problems occur and I don't get the corrupt partition error. I assume both these problems are related to the corrupt partition detected by Android 6. Does anybody have a workaround to this? I realise this is not exactly an Apps2SD error, but I am reluctant to use Apps2SD with these limitations.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
The sd card damage message is a dummy message so ignore it. You can use Notification Remover to clear the message.

The second partition is mounted on /data/sdext2, you can use a root file explorer to browse it

Try to set the install location to internal and see if it works.

You can try below maybe it'll work

1) Format 1st partition as ext2/ext4 and 2nd partition as fat32

2) In recreate mount script dialog change block path from /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 to /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 and see if it works

[Android Apps and Games] GreyRainbow:
It worked! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
which one worked?
[Android Apps and Games] GreyRainbow:
First I partitioned the card with first partition being EXT4. The apps started detecting the card. But that also gave a mount error even after I recreated the mount script. So, I changed mmcblk1p2 to mmcblk1p1 while recreating the script, keeping the first partition EXT4. And it worked. Apps2sd worked and sd card was working with apps too.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
So that a possible solution. Nice :good:
[Android Apps and Games] jce2005:
Hi Vicky,

could you see or find out what the problem is ?

Thx.....
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
There is some issue with apps2sd binary. I'll rebuild and send you for testing tomorrow
[Android Apps and Games] brentk:
I have just tried this suggestion and still have the same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] brentk:
New update - this suggestion does allow the camera to write to external storage (my first test I had created 3 partitions (including swap partition). Further testing shows the FAT32 partition mus be the last partition.

Unfortunately I still don't see the SD card in Windows explorer when connected via USB - but this looks to be a different problem as it is unreliable even when the SD card is formatted with only a single partition.

Big drawback to having the FAT32 partition not being the first partition is that Windows cannot access it when plugging the card into a windows machine - WIndows can only access the 1st partition.
[Android Apps and Games] VICosPhi:
I was surprised to see this issue is still ongoing :confused:

Thanks everyone for ideas to get the camera to recognize SD card but the big issue is why Windows won't see the SD card via MTP when phone is connected to Windows? Anyone has any ideas on this one?
[Android Apps and Games] brainvision:
Hi there!

First I want to say that you really did a big big big big BIIIIG work here!! This app has everything a rooted user may need, maybe even too much! At the moment I'm writing from tablet so I'll just ask you for a question, but as soon as possible I'll post from PC with a few suggestions, if you please..

So, my question: as Link2SD Pro user (I bought this one years ago, literally, but recently the dev seems to have stopped working on it) I always use the Integrate app as system app when system apps were updated.. It always worked nice..

I tried your app and do the same thing, but it always mess things up, unfortunately. It seems to remove the updated apk from internal storage (/data partition) but then it doesn't reinstall it as system app, but in the same time removes the older apk from the system! So, after rebooting I do not have those apps (also when I use the Clean option from your app it found dead dex files, so it seems my thoughts are right)

I just flashed a new ROM into this tablet so my tests were done in a clean system and I could simply wipe data and cache and flash again without loosing my data; apps I tried to integrate are also Google apps like Play Store, WebView and Play Services. Cannot remember exactly because I literally repeated the whole wipe/flash/integrate thing at least 5 times, but I'm pretty sure I also tried with a few non Google apps. I'm telling that because I read that you don't suggest to link Google apps, don't know if it means also using the integrate trick for google apps..

So, what do you think about? I followed all the suggestion from your app (also changed SuperSu option namespace and root at startup) and I was able to link a few non google apps normally.

Now I went back to Link2SD and again it succeeded to integrate those identical update as system apps.. ?

I like your app but I cannot flash this ROM for the rest of my life! ? That's why I'm asking you for suggestions before trying - eventually - once more.

Thank a lot for paying attention,

Have a nice day, see you! ?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Thanks, I'll look into integrate feature
[Android Apps and Games] mielletseed:
[MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION] I wanted to try the "foldermount" feature but I didn't succeed - data files where moved bot not mounted afterwards

so I tried the "other" tool foldermount and that told me, that the file /system/bin/sdcard of my Samsung Galaxy (G800H with 5.1.1) is corrupted and asked for replacing it.

After replacing that file (for the sd card daemon?) and rebooting YOUR foldermount works perfectly.

So my question is: could you also provide the option to replace the wrong /system/sbin/sdcard file for Galaxy phones in your program? (just a suggestion)

best regards
[Android Apps and Games] brainvision:
oh, forgot about a few details: Android 5.1 / Latest SuperSU version, latest App2SD AIO version..

so, in general, the "don't link Google apps" suggestion is not also related to Integrate as system app feature?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
No it's not. There seems to be a bug in integrate feature. I'll send you a beta version for test
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It's already available Activate Android's standard "fuse" filesystem for SD cards option in menu
[Android Apps and Games] mielletseed:
Ah okay - didn't know that does the same "trick", thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] MasterCATZ:
spent an entire day trying to get this to work with out the corrupted sdcard thing

formatted and partitioned using various settings on my Ubuntu box and multiple smartphones / programs

I rather find the issue than cover up it with the nag screen removed

tried with and without ext4 journaling file system

and with f2fs

it seems to happen once apps2sd mounts it with its script

remove script second partition is mounted fine

normal and with Init.d option
[Android Apps and Games] brainvision:
Ok, so..

I just tried to do the same thing with Titanium Backup and it also fails completely! I'm starting to fear that it depends from my tablet.. The root partition here is placed into an unusual partition name (/android_system): if you think it could be related please ask me for details I could give!

PS: it's a Cube iWork 10 Ultimate Dual Boot (Windows 10 and Android 5.1) - i15-TCL
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Are you using Apps2SD pro or free version?
[Android Apps and Games] brainvision:
was using the free one!
[Android Apps and Games] zack3571:
Thanks for the information.I tried it on my Samsung S6 edeg and it works :)
[Android Apps and Games] brainvision:
well, it's definitely due to the partition system of this dual boot tablet.. I solved now by manually moving APKs with a file explorer.. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] MasterCATZ:
mmm

after moving 1 game

now my systems stuck in read only mode ... even as root

as much as I would like to solve this one its just quicker doing restore :P

also might have been related to the ssh server program that was installed

:crying:

Dunno what I have done even after restore from lastnights backup still only ro access now ...

:confused:

never had to do this before

mount -o rw,remount /system

anyhow edited

apps2sd-mountscript.sh

to do

mount -o bind /storage/e1aa119f-00e8-47c7-b4f9-621d2b6372e1 /data/sdext2

this seems to keep android and apps2sd both happy

how ever during the copy process having

cp: can't create symlink `/data/sdext2/data/blabla/ ./lib`:Funtion not implemented

and if i do it the second time it works ?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
android mounts the partition as vfat/fuse which doesn't support symlinking so binding /data/sdext2 to it will not work. You'll have to find a way to disable android from mounting it. If you find a working command/script then Enable "Enable addition of commands in Mount script" in Apps2SD setting and add the script/command in "Append command before mount script" textbox
[Android Apps and Games] brainvision:
Bind question

A little question regarding the Bind/Link option: does the Bind way keep two copies of the same directory/files into different places? Or it just links them (not symlink).. I mean: I want to make a link into my external SD to the emulated sdcard (internal memory) Download folder, so that when files are downloaded they go to extSD even if the OS still "think" it's the internal memory..

Is it the right way to use the Bind feature?

And if yes, in this case, the Source folder should be the internal memory one or the extSD? I'm a little confused about that...

thanks a lot for paying attention, see ya! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] eracet:
After saving a picture to external SD. All of a sudden my phone ended up not seeing SD card.

Thought this may of been a faulty SD card. But trying it on the PC it worked ok. And am able to see main partition on es file explorer.

Apps2SD is stuck on initializing apps , then eventually fails.

Apps2SD hangs when working on this so unable to see some of the information until the linking fails.

So I am wondering if something is corrupt with the 2nd Sd partition.

From what I can tell is Apps2SD disables any reading of SD until it completes.

Trying to figure out what is going on .

Thanks ,
[Android Apps and Games] randomherRro:
Hey everyone,

I'm struggling to make Apps2SD work as I'd want it to, but I'm having a hard time. With Link2SD and Lollipop things were good, but I switched to Marshmallow and I know about all the issues the application has with the OS. I have a G901F and I'm running the latest 6.0.1 build for Nordic countries, the G901FXXS1CPI4/ G901FNEE1CPE1 with root and stock kernel. I also have a 32GB microSD card that I was able to partition in the past correctly using Apps2SD and Marshmallow.

What I'm trying to achieve is to move an entire app and it's data to the card. To give the best example, I'm trying to move CSR Racing 2, as it's a >1GB app, and I would rather not have it eat up my entire internal memory. However, I can't seem to do it properly. The application won't move in its entirety, as I would like it to, and I'm also running into this issue: "Your device use "sdcardfs" filesystem for internal SD card." Activating the "fuse" system renders the second partition unusable and I have to revert the settings.

I've read through the topic a bit and I learned that I should use a kernel that doesn't use the sdcardfs. Would this solve the issue that I'm facing regarding moving an app in its entirety? If so, is this kernel something that I should flash? If not, could someone point me to a good kernel?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] brainvision:
I'm not the dev of the app so take this with caution, but when you are in the Main windows of the app, tapping the three dots in the toolbar, you'll find an option "use fuse etc etc".. maybe is what the app is telling you, but - again - I'm not the dev! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] randomherRro:
I know about that and that's exactly what is not working for me, because or the kernel (or at least that is what I assume at the moment). Thanks for the reply, though.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
files/folders will be deleted/kept based on the settings you choose. Source folder should be the one which you want to move. Use link option between ext partitions only and bind option between fat partitions only.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Try below

1) Reinstall your super user management app

2) Use the partition tool to repair 2nd partition
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
any error after applying the patch?
[Android Apps and Games] randomherRro:
What patch are you referring to? Is there a new version of the app out?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Activate Android's standard "fuse" filesystem for SD cards option from menu
[Android Apps and Games] randomherRro:
I'm stuck at the moment at formatting the card. I tried to split it between fat32 and ext4, and when I reboot the phone, Android says the card is corrupted. Apps2SD sees the second partition correctly in the Storage Info, but it doesn't see the first one. I solved this in the past but now I can't seem to get it work. How should I proceed efficiently in order to avoid crashing the card from too many reformats (happened already once with another card).
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
1) Format 1st partition as ext2/ext4 and 2nd partition as fat32

2) In recreate mount script dialog change block path from /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 to /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 and see if it works
[Android Apps and Games] randomherRro:
The second step works, but I can still only see the ext4 partition. After the phone was restarted and I continued with the creation of the partitions, I received this error.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Send device info from Error Report page
[Android Apps and Games] randomherRro:
Done.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
try below

1) Format 1st partition as fat32 and 2nd partition as ext4

2) In recreate mount script dialog select su.d option

3) If you have TWRP installed then apply the "Activate Android's standard "fuse" filesystem for SD cards" patch from menu.

if after applying the patch your device is stuck in bootloop then follow below
[Android Apps and Games] randomherRro:
This is how the storage info tab looks after performing these steps. Is this correct?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Yes seems correct

I do have everything backed up on PC with primary partition and using Titanium backup for any apps.

Also did a nandroid backup a few weeks ago.

I found a backup tool that will work and save files to PC, going to try reformating.

right now its ext4 .

Should I go to something else or keep it at that when reformating.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
if your device supports f2fs then go for it else try ext2

Tried formating in PC and it failed.

Seems as though the write is bad on it.

Good thing its under warranty.

Now going to get a new card.

Any suggestions on formatting when I get it.

My old card had about 100gb of exfat and 20 gb of ext4

I did do an image of the ext parition but not sure if it will reload correctly.

and the main partition will just be a straight copy. ( just want to try to make sure I can get main paritition stuff onto PC easily ).
