Hi, is there any way to create a second partition, without formating sd card? (keep the existing content in the first partition).

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Tomek0000:
Find:

If we have obb files and copy all to sdext2/Andriod/obb/app_name and install app_name from apk file or play. google and apps2sd will link automatic or manual, the obb files will not be connected to the installed application and not be linked.

If we have obb files and copy all to sdext2/Android/obb/app_name and create directory /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/app_name, and install app_name, and apps2sd will link new installed application manual or automatic, it adds obb files to new installed application and create correct links to obb files.
[Android Apps and Games] gothicVI:
Sure. Resize the first partition and create a second one.

Find (in android 6).

i use apps2sd to convert user app to system. Next I use apps2sd to uninstall this app. Apps2sd will remove all files of app (only files). If I install the same app again it will work wrong or can crash. The solution to fix:

Uninstall the app again. Go to /system/priv-app/ and remove all subdirectories used by uninstalled app. Install app again and will work correct. If you have problem with removing directories, go to recovery and use build-in file editor followed by mounting /system partition.

If apps2sd will uninstall system app as removing all files and all directories, this action will not be needed.

Hi guys!

Does it have any feature active for rooted phones? I'm looking for getting a new phone that has 32Gb of internal storage while my actual phone has 64Gb.

For this I'm afraid in not being able to go backwards with such reduces space.

Can I gain some help with this app?

Thanks.

Apps2sd requires a rooted device.
[Android Apps and Games] stormy1777:
if u have a rooted device (which sounds like you do), u'll be able to easily move just about any app to sdcard, so u should be fine with 32GB+sd card..

Error: Unable to bind folder

Hi I am able to link apps using app2sd. However, apps default data folder is not automatically linked, eg whatsapp image folder. I tried the folder mount to sdext2 folder or sd card. Both failed saying unable to bind. I am also not able to find any log file. Is there anything that I can do to link my internal folder to external card or the sdext2 (ext4) folder?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
What are the source and destination folders used in the pair?
[Android Apps and Games] lifelearner:
Sorry, don't really get what you mean by what they are used. I was trying out before doing on actual data. So I just created a new folder "test":

/storage/sdcard0/test

And tried to bind to sdext2:

/data/sdext2/test

I googled somewhere that say maybe folder permission issue. So I tried binding in the same internal folder:

/storage/sdcard0/test1

This also doesn't work.

My phone is rooted. OS is kitkat 4.4.4. Is this version an issue?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Check the error report for any logs (It's an option in Apps2SD)
[Android Apps and Games] SpideyBR:
I had trouble updating apps backed up and restored or just moved to my micro SD card using Titanium Backup. I've even bought the full version after reading it's the definitive app backup tool on Android, but now I'm a little disappointed. After wiping and reflashing my phone several times over the last few days, I ended up ignoring the backup and just reinstalling the apps from the Google Play library, spending the time reconfiguring everything again.

Anyway, did anybody have the problems with App2SD breaking app auto update on Google Play? I was getting the dreaded 963 error.
[Android Apps and Games] lifelearner:
Managed to find the error report and learn how to read it. It's a directory issue and corrected it. It's working now, but linking to sdext2 folder had given me a shock, the whole of the internal storage becomes unavailable after that. Don't know why, but the system reports access denied to internal storage.

Had now link everything to external sd card to play safe. But correctly the folder mount interface becomes very very slow. Not too sure why. Hopefully everything will be fine. Had started linking actual data file now.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Linking should not be used for folders on fat partitions or emulated file systems, always use bind
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Use Apps2SD backup restore tool for app backup and use Broken app cleaner to delete leftover files which would resolve most of the play store errors
[Android Apps and Games] Infy_AsiX:
ran into a major issue with Apps2sd. I'd been using it Pro updated on a newer phone ok, been recently using the Tasker intent to mount all folders after booting as the auto folder mount still seemed intermittent the last version I tried. On this phone I hadn't been using a second partition for linking.

Just a couple of days ago I had to send that new phone away for repairs and returned to using my old phone. Everything seemed ok until I updated the old version 13.3 to 14.3 and did the same folder mount after boot using Tasker (unsure if that's part of the fault just something I did). Then my second partition would never mount and after a quick search and FAQ check I followed the instructions of repartitioning and fixing 2nd partition permissions. After finishing the long backup, partition and restore, the same issue exists where 2nd partition won't mount, so I reverted to v13.3 and it mounts ok again. Is there some known issue in the later versions I should avoid? I can probably narrow down the issue now I know I can just change the app version to test rather than taking forever trying to fix the partition. Only just figured this out... need to relink all those apps and configs again...
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
What is the error in v14.3?
[Android Apps and Games] Infy_AsiX:
I didn't record it down but it seemed to be the normal mount error. A quick search and I see it looks like this "mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/public:179_66 on data/sdext2 failed: invalid argument"
[Android Apps and Games] Infy_AsiX:
I think I've narrowed down my issue a little. After updating Apps2SD back up again it still works mounting fine. I realise now when I downgraded versions I used a Titanium data restore which removed the only new folder mount I created for Spotify, that seems likely part of the reason for the issue. I've realised I don't need to mount Spotify anyway as it seems to default to external on my ROM setup anyway. I'm also not using the mount all folder intent again yet as self mounting seems ok so far. So everything seems ok for now. Strangely though I did run into the issue one more time when I was trying to choose the storage location that Spotify uses in its settings, for some reason Spotify has several of the same locations listed and ticked a few times. After trying to click those one time and restarting the issue reoccurred, which leads me to think there's some issue with external mounts on my ROM that can be triggered by Spotify's location for some reason. So I just restored a nandroid and just leave Spotify location untouched and hopefully everything remains fine.

Hi Vicky, I have been using your app now for while and everything works great.

I do have some feature suggestions I would like to ask you to consider.

1. A easier way to check the space of the second partition. (I now go to the link an app menu to see the space available)

2. A pop up or toast message saying if and how much space has been cleaned when a clean up of the second partition is done (I now check the size veggie and and after the cleanup)

3. Automatic restore home screen shortcuts after re-linking apps, if possible.

All of these are just suggestions I think might improve your already awesome app.

Thank you for your time :)

1st and 2nd is possible but 3rd not. I'll first two features in next version
[Android Apps and Games] JudgeDread11:
Hi Vicky,

an other in my opinion useful feature would be too be able to launch the apps straight from the 'link apps' and the 'app component manager' sections. For example by clicking the app icons.

This way new changes can be tested easily.

Well...out of curiosity...i tried link2sd and it seems to be working for me. Phone is a bit glitchy but I'm still learning what to/not to do and, so far, no softbricks. Yours doesn't seem to like my setup/rom I guess. I wonder what difference is...?
[Android Apps and Games] pretoleane:
2 advantages is saw for moment

apps2SD can link OBB automaticly <=> Link2SD you need to make that manualy

apps2SD move \data\files folders <=> Link2SD don't make for moment.....

Apps2SD : Ads support <=> Link2SD (free version don't have enough option to be t the same level option than apps2sd) => you need to paid for full access.....

app2sd on Android Marshmallow

Hi [MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION],

I have troubles using app2sd on my Samsung Galaxy S5 (sm-g900f / klte), rom CM13.0 unofficial, build 20151110 (sd card Sandisk 32GB).

I created 2 partitions using Minitool Partition Manager (because app2sd internal partition manager cause app force close): 1st partitition fat32, 2nd partition ext4.

Once booted up, I choose "portable" and then I open app2sd: app2sd say 2nd partition is not mounted and ask to remount or recreate mount script.

If I try to remount I get an error: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:66 on /data/sdext2 failed No such file or directory.

I attached output of:

ls -l /dev/block

ls -l /dev/block/vold

fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1

Can you please try to help me?

Thank you!

SOLVED: I had to not choose sd card type after boot up (previously I used to set sd card as "portable")

[Android Apps and Games] goose2600:
WhatsApp media

Is there a way to move WhatsApp media folder to the external sd (because moving just the app is not helping so mutch to freeing space on internal storage)?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Yes, use the foldermount feature
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Open Apps2SD, select the app from the list then link obb file
[Android Apps and Games] goose2600:
Thanks for your quick reply!

In foldermount feature have I to chose bind or symlink?

I think I have to use symlink, but unfortunally does not work (I get an error activating).

If I understood, using bind feature I have to copy the content of whatsapp media folder in a folder on external sd card, then delete the content in the old folder and bind the new folder (source) to whatsapp default media folder (destination). Right?

The new whatsapp media content will be saved in the internal strage?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Use bind, Symlink doesn't work on fat partitions. Also Bind will do all the work automatically. You just need to select source and destination and select the options, then turn it on
[Android Apps and Games] goose2600:
Sorry for asking a lot of things...

The source folder is the one in fat32 partition on external sd card and the destination is the one on internal storage?

Which options I have to check in folder mount options?

Does the new content will be saved in the internal storage?

Thank you again!
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Source : Internal folder

Destination: SD card

Select 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th option
[Android Apps and Games] goose2600:
You was very clear!

Just my last question: where the new content will be saved (internal or external)?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Whatever destination you choose. You can choose a folder in sd card 1st or 2nd partition. /data/sdext2 is the 2nd partition
[Android Apps and Games] goose2600:
Thanks you and, of course, I will vote this app on play store.

I cant make use of your app. i have send device info(yz27_8170) via app. No matter what size partition i create when i check it is always 21279mb (20gb) in SD card and 1st partition is 8385mb i have tried ext4 and f2fs. My total sd size is 29.0 GB.

i did encounter message saying second storage not mount and require reboot but nothing happened once again.

Upgrade Magisk to 16.3 or 16.4 stable, recreate mount script using su.d/magisk option and reboot. The issue should be fixed
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
The stable version is 16.0.

16.4 is the current official beta version.

The current unofficial builds with the latest commits by [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] are here:

https://github.com/kantjer/MagiskFiles

And here is the link to the unofficial thread:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/unofficial-magisk-v10-beta-built-t3521901

You must remove your current Magisk Manager if you go from stable or beta Magisk because it is signed with a different key. If you don't do this you will get an app not installed message for the manager.

If you try the unofficial builds, reboot a second time after install. The recent builds have had a root loss issue but I have seemed to solve that with the second boot. I have ran 2 devices for over 60 hours without root loss by doing the second reboot. [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] 's recent fixes since 16.4 beta, can be found here:

For the most part, I have had very good results on my devices with these unofficial builds, with the latest fixes. Results can vary with different devices, though.

Vicky, in the past you have recommended setting Global Namespace in Magisk settings. I don't doubt your wisdom in this, but I was wondering what this does versus the other options?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Global namespace allows other apps to see mount points created by Apps2SD while Isolated option doesn't and Inherited option inherits the namespace from parent process. Sometime back I asked topjohnwu to add -mm flag in magisk su to set Global namespace on the fly (for the current process/shell only not system wide off course) and he added it in v1510+ if I remember correctly so it shouldn't be an issue with v16.0 (unless topjohnwu changed the logic)

You can read more about Mount namespace @ https://su.chainfire.eu/#how-mount

Unable to migrate to Pro from Free

Hi, vickybonick. Thank you so much for this amazing app! It's made my wife's Samsung J106M with its 8GB of internal storage (only 4GB of which is available after you subtract the system partition) actually usable again! Samsung in their infinite wisdom have completely locked out the adoptable storage option on this phone, even with root, so linking to the SD card is the only option to get more space even on Marshmallow.

I bought the Pro version of Apps2SD after setting everything up in the free version, and I'm trying to migrate the settings from the free to the pro version as instructed on your website. However, when I hit the "Import Apps2SD free settings" button, I'm getting this error message:

"Error! Apps2SD free version is higher than Pro version. Please upgrade the Pro version then do an import."

I have checked Google Play, and both the free and pro versions of Apps2SD are up to date on the device. When I look at the version listed in Android's "Applications" menu, they both say "14.3".

I tried to get more info from the terminal via adb, and I think it's possible this might be relevant:

shell@j1minivelte:/ # dumpsys package in.co.pricealert.apps2sd | grep -i version
versionCode=144 targetSdk=25
versionName=14.3
shell@j1minivelte:/ # dumpsys package in.co.pricealert.apps2sd.pro | grep -i version
