I'm trying to use USB stick as an external SD on Nexus Player with custom ROM. By setting "Use custom dev block" to '/dev/block/sda', Partition Tool successfully created partitions but failed to format them. I also tried format option in Partition Tool but no success.

swap partition, Apps2SD gives an error just after reboot by partition tool.
mkswap: can't open '/dev/block/sdap4': No such file or directory'

mkfs.vfat: can't open '/dev/block/sdap1': No such file or directory'
newfs_msdos: can't open '/dev/block/sdap1': No such file or directory'

F2FS-tools: mkfs.f2fs Ver: 1.4.1 (2015-03-04) Info: Label = SdExtPart2 Error: Failed to open the device!

As you can see, the path name to dev block is wrong. For example, it should be '/dev/block/sda1' instead of '/dev/block/sdap1' for 1st partition. Could you please fix the issue?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Ok, i'll fix that. Can you send device info from Apps2SD

Crashed on LG G3 Stylus

Hi...

Great app you've made bro. I bought your PRO version.

I install it on LG G3 Stylus (rooted with KingRoot 4.8) and install Apps2sd PRO. My phone crashed sometimes. How to solve this issue? If I uninstalled Apps2sd PRO my phone become normal again...

Please help...

Is there any optimal configuration of Apps2sd PRO for my LG G3 Stylus?

I'll be waiting for your kind reply...

Hi whats difference if i choose ext2,3,4 or f2fs for second partition. Is there any difference in performance? I have 32gb class 10 memory card

Android 6.0.1
[Android Apps and Games] tinybilbo:
Hi...

I'm a bit confused about how best to use your app...

I have a Marshmallow (stock) tab (nvidia K1).

Whats the best way to format the sd I have? (128gb)

1) 64gb Partition1-Fat32 & 64gb Partition 2-ext4,

2) or 64gb Partition 1-adoptable storage& 64gb Partition 2-ext4....

3) or just 128gb adoptable storage and use apps2sd to move data between adoptable and system?...

The reason I ask is that I'm having trouble using the standard method (option 1) of fat32 & ext4 partitions when restoring certain apps. They won't restore or even install if the card is inserted... (they install fine if the card is ejected though). Must be a permissions or sd location issue....

Also what would be the pros and cons of each way?....

Thanks

How safe is this app for the sdcard?
[Android Apps and Games] t61p:
I've just sent device info from Apps2SD.

Meanwhile, I connected usb stick to ubuntu PC and formated the partitions (vfat, f2fs, swap) by using gparted. After that, the 1st partition is accessible as '/storage/1CD5-2471' and Folder Mount works, and the swap partition is mounted as '/dev/block/sda4'.

On the other hand, Recreate mount script gives an error.

2nd partition on SD card not found. Do you have single linux partition on SD card?

I answered 'yes' and proceeded to recreate mount script by giving '/dev/block/sda3', 'f2fs' and 'su.d' as parameters. But Apps2SD returned an error.

mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:66 on /data/sdext2 failed: No such file or directory

Could you please check this issue too?

In my Xperia Z3C smartphone, running the latest AOSP 7.1.1 build, I'm using just the Folder Mount feature. After each reboot Apps2SD runs automatically, but it always fails to mount/bind the folders, then. I have to manually run it right afterwards, for it to succeed.

What error you get with option 1?
[Android Apps and Games] tinybilbo:
Thanks for the reply..

It's bizarre...

When I try to restore certain apps via Titanium Backup, Titanium just hangs forever restoring.

If I try to install the apk for that app it fails. (i.e Minecraft)

However if I eject the card, the backup restores correctly and the apk installs fine too...

What I have noticed on inspecting the titanium backup, is that there is a backup of the externalsd.

This is not present those backups that do restore.

This I why I mentioned that it might be a paths or permission error...

I've tried changing the mount namespace option in SuperSU (both on and off), as well as all the mount options

I'm working around the issue by restoring without the card in at the moment, I'm using a 50/50 split of the card as in option 1.

Other than that your app is awesome! almost too much!
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Well it's not Apps2SD fault. You can try to set the install location to internal it should fix the issue

One question and one issue report.

2015 Moto X Pure (clark) XT1575

Android 6.0.1 (Dirty Unicorns 10.6)

Toggle Network Type 5.0 1.1.6.0

Magisk/MagiskSU 11.1

SELinux enforcing

When using MagiskSU and creating a systemless mount script for foldermount, is Apps2SD intended to create two files in /magisk/.core/su.d, 00000000apps2sd.sh and apps2d? I seem to recall only one under SuperSU's /su/su.d, and while I can see what the script does, I'm curious as to the function of the apps2sd file.

On boot, MagiskSU displays both SU granted and denied toasts, though as far as I can tell, Apps2SD still seems to function. It should be noted that I use relatively few of the features, so my testing is far from thorough.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:

Hi

My system:S7,SuperMan 2.0 Custom ROM,with Super Stock kernel with SuperSu root,Android 7.

Somehow whenever i try to transfer game files(fully) or game main file (OBB files for example) to SD card,when,i formatted sd by using instructions into two sections Fat32 and Ext4 by using app partition tool correctly.Program should transfer games(or other apps)to second section of card(to ext4),and this section is succesfully is mounted and also mount OBB files like no problem,but games no working! App2sd don't gave me any errors,consider app info it's should be work fine,tried different games but same result,no working games after transfer OBB to EXT4 section of sd card by using app2sd.

Tried to use fixes and foldermount,same not working games results.

It feels that something in the ROM is blocking whole "mounting-linking" process results.

Then i tried FolderMount app,it's not working too after i tried mount obb files(before on my s4 it was working).

I dunno what could be reason of this issue.Is anyone could have any theories about this?

HI Vicky,

Awesome app with so many features. i couldnt find any all in one app like one which you have made, your hardwork is appreciated a lot and you are sharing it for free is like service to needy.

i need your help to get working of your app in my phone.

I have rooted my nokia xl and have installed your apps2sd , i have problem in making partitions of sd card. the Error says " mke2fs 1.42.13(17-May-2015) The file / dev/block/mmcblk1p2 does not exist and no size was specified."

Can you please help me to link my apps to sd card. i dont have deep knowledge about its working but because of your youtube videos i could manage to follow the process. the videos are very helpful for beginners.

Thank you so much.

Hoping for a positive reply.

[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
What is your android version? Are you using latest version of Apps2SD?
[Android Apps and Games] dervish200:
Yeah there was something wrong in custom rom.

I tried AOKP rom,and everything works fine there links and mountings,then i tried other Touchwiz Android 7 rom,and it's works too at Advanced and Normal methods of mounting second partition.

But i've met other issue,whenever i install a game...it's dissapear right away from menu 0-0 after installation(bt apps not which i installed) just games,i tried to remove mount,and tried Fix partition,tried other partition methods,but they still not appear after reboot.Yeah they still in system and can played by usind apps2sd menu,but i don't see those at main menu screen at all...is there a way to fix this wierd issue?

Hmm found how to fix it,i just needed manually reinstall each game apk,from apps2sd by using it's "reinstall" function,but it seems that i need to do it every time,or maybe it's should be like that? well anyway not so hard to do so once for each game.

Thanks for cool app ))

[Android Apps and Games] guastucci:
LOL. No, but I really don't know how to bind. Like, when I bind, app2sd automatically copy all files from source folder? Or I have to check any option?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
If you just want to bind then use the mount/unmount only option instead of the slider
[Android Apps and Games] guastucci:
Inside the folder mount?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Yes. Pair menu option
[Android Apps and Games] guastucci:
So let's see if I got it. To folder mount the WhatsApp folder. First I click on + button. After I give a name, select source folder, select destination folder. Check only create folder and bind folders. And that's it? Every thing that is in the source folder will be moved to destination folder?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Now in the foldermount list if you use the slider/toggle button it is copy the files. If you don't want to copy files then use mount only option from pair menu(3 vertical dots at the end of the row)

First off let me thank you for an amazing app that is turning our $30 Moto E 2015 models with next to zero storage available into phones that can handle our data/app demand!

With that being said I have a bit of an issue that I can't track down in any logs... Odex files will come unlinked after 3 or 4 random reboots. It's always the odex and only about 3 percent of apps will have their external data unlinked too. This seems to happen at random after the 3rd or 4th reboot wether it was a manual reboot or a system crash. This happens on 3 of the most popular Roms for this model.

Any advice is much appreciated, I will be giving you a 5 star rating on the play store!

(I'm also attaching a screenshot of my Kindle app with the odex unlinked, although it's of little use.)

Thanks again!

This might be related to selinux policy. Android is probably recreating the odex after reboot. As for external data not being linked after reboot try different mounting methods. If you use SuperSu or Magisk then use su.d option else use Advanced method. If still it doesn't work then follow below link to disable selinux and enable it after mount script is finished.

Sorry for late reply!

As i remember i send it at night timezone was GMT+3,it was night at my local time(around 2am),phone is Samsung S7 Flat,model-930fd.

But the thing is that,i think problem was somewhere inside of custom firmware i had there! Because when i tried later other ROM's AOKP and Touchwiz ones,

it was worked flawlessly! And right now i have SuperMan 2.1 new version rom(had issue at 2.0) and apps2sd works great now!

Back there i just installed apps which could touch system files:SU root,Lucky patcher,AD blocker,and Titaniumi think tha'ts all.

Anyway it was something wrong with ROM or kernel back there,i don't think it was app fault or issue,coz i use same version of app2sd now and updated rom and kernel,and everything works as it should be.

But can i somehow save links of games when i would update or reinstall rom in fuure? Or i would need each time fully link all apps again after installing new rom?

Is it safe for sd card to use speed booster function?

And thanks again for amazing app very helpfull with lots of usefull functions and thanks for your support too!
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Pro version has an option to import all linked apps from 2nd partition and obb form 1st/2nd partition which is helpful after rom install and factory reset. I believe it's safe to use the booster.

If I make Apps2SD as System application in Lollipop (5.1.1), can it work without Root? I can manually give the required permission 755 or any other that may be needed, but would like to see if I can run this without the root done. Any other permisiion like device Admin is also ok

Hi vicky! Due to some issues with some games that don't run on adoptable storage but in the second one they do, and due to some issues with internal memory even using the second partition, I had to use both the second partition and the adoptable partition. So, right now, my SD Card partitions are a FAT32 partition, an EXT4 that I use as second partition and the adoptable partition. Apps2SD mounted the second partition correctly and recognized the adoptable partition. Apps can be linked without problems. The problem comes when I try to link to the second partition the external data, such as OBB files. When I try to do so I get a bind error "cp: can't stat '/data/media/obb/appfolder/.': No such file or directory

Same goes with the external data folder. The thing is that I've moved the data from the internal storage to the adoptable one, so the folders 0 and obb in /data/media are empty, cause they have been moved to /mnt/expand/$UUID/media. But Apps2SD keeps checking in the /data/media folder and of course, it doesn't find anything, giving a bind error. Can you help me with this? In my case Apps2SD should check in the /mnt/expand/$UUID/media folder, not in /data/media
