I don't see any option to set "primary" in the partition tool or aparted when i format my 2 partitions. Can you recommend a partition tool that allows me to set that option?
[Android Apps and Games] kh34d:
Mini tool partition wizard(PC)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Apps2SD by default creates primary partition. 2nd partition should be ext2, ext3, ext4 or f2fs
[Android Apps and Games] stephlal:
OK. What do you recommend I try next?

As a side note, I still reformatted my SD card using the mini tool partition wizard to give that a shot, same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Well it's an android error, i can't do anything. I suggest you link apps to 2nd partition instead of using native app2sd.
[Android Apps and Games] unclegreggy:
I am having a problem with cm 11 kitkat, whenever I reboot my phone the installed and moved/linked apps to my 2nd partition always keep disappearing I dunno why, and 2nd partition is mounted..

I even tried recreating the Mount script and remounting 2nd partition still no luck. So I clean broken apps tried downloading again in playstore , I linked the app and there it is again after I rebooted the app went missing again.

Is it possible that its because I use superSU instead of the built-in superuser in cm11? Busybox is installed also so I dunno how this keeps reoccurring
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Do they appear after a soft reboot?
[Android Apps and Games] unclegreggy:
I haven't tried soft rebooting Ill try if it appears

Edit: OK I tried soft rebooting and it doesn't appear also.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Attach logcat after the boot. Also attach output of below

ls -l /data/app

ls -lR /data/sdext2
[Android Apps and Games] unclegreggy:
May I know how do I do that? :)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
There is a module to save/send Logcat in the app. Run the commands in terminal emulator and email me the output
[Android Apps and Games] stephlal:
Alright.

I tried the link functionality and its working surprising well to be honest, but I totally forgot to complete a nandroid on this new phone. I'm in the process of delinking everything to get it done, then I'll relink post nandroid. There is most likely another way, but I'm just comfortable with nandroids.

I noticed you have a restore/backup functionality now (not in your video). How would it work with a nandroid? Do you have any links / video's you could point me to?

I'd also like to request a feature. Adding a way for me to save a profile of apps in link apps to sd card for quick linking after a nandroid restoral would rock.
[Android Apps and Games] ImranHameed:
Well i am having this issue right now. I have enabled the auto linking of apps. And after installing the plus messenger (which is a wrapper for telegram) I register my number on it and when I close the app and Reopen it, the registration is gone. I have to register once again. However If I install the app in internal memory only then it works just awesome.

In addition, after installing the Facebook, and linking it fully, the Facebook doesn't open and only shows white screen. No login screen shows up. All this happens after linking......
[Android Apps and Games] ImranHameed:
The below snaps are attached when I try to copy the data back to internal memory by using cp and rsync. The errors occur even with cp.

Anyone else facing this issue? There is a class file named lbloom in facebook that seems to be the source of this issue. That's the only file that fails during copy..
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Is it possible to use a file manager to explore the files in the 2nd partition?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Yes you can browse /data/sdext2 folder
[Android Apps and Games] kh34d:
Yes you can.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Delete that file and reboot
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I haven't made a video for it. It backs up your linked apps as well. While restore it gives you an option to restore completely in internal or sd card(linked) or they way it was while taking backup (clone). It'll be slower than others btw
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Perfect, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Looks like Android PackageParser is running before the mount script. Are you selecting init.d option while creating mount script? if yes then enable usb debugging and create mount script without selecting it and reboot. If it doesn't work then only way to keep your apps from disappearing is not to link apk.
[Android Apps and Games] gordie99:
got a weird issue with galaxy s5

using apps2sd for a while now, 128 sd card, 92 exfat w/ 30 ex2

no issues worked great

i wanted to try a 200gb sdcard, 150exfat/40 ex2

unlinked all apps, formatted card using roehsoft

copied all the exfat from the 90g to the new 140g

apps2sd recognizes the partition, links properly

however, nothing will install either from the store or via manual apk install, error 906

i then unlinked files, shut down, put old card back in, but error still persists

when i unmount 128gb card, installs are fine

what did i do wrong?

TIA
[Android Apps and Games] Stevemann:
No errors on remount.

I moved an app - total 15MB to SD card. Remounted. Persisted.Then linked the dex and data...soft rebooted...ok. storage info reports only 5MB used. Rebooted...msg-App2SD relinking applications...and the app persists!

So it looks like I must move the app to SD then link the data, cache and dex files. The only things not linked are the apk and lib files - should I move and link them too?

The cpu is a 1.4 GHz quad-core Cortex-A9 - an ARM architecture not a MIPS one.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
By move do you mean native app2sd? If yes then its not needed. Link an app everything then reboot verify if app is missing soft reboot and verify. Btw storage info shows usage of 2nd partition so anything moved with native app2sd will not be displayed there it'll be added in external sd card.
[Android Apps and Games] Stevemann:
Yes - moved by App2sD. Tried another app move and linked all choices. Softbooted...all moved apps persist. Rebooted...same. All apps still persist on the SD card.

Great work!

Three questions:

1. If I change my ROM or kernel (upgrade) - do I have to undo the moves and linkages first or will App2SD remember these?

2. If I install new apps/update apps will these automatically transfer to the SD card?

3. If I need to swap/replace the SD card do I first have to undo the moves and linkages (so current card out then another put in to get archive stuff off it - then put the current back)?

Many thanks. I'll post +ve review.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Great!

1. Changing the ROM- If you don't wipe data partition user apps will be recognized. System apps will not. Updated apps might or might not. Upgrading the kernel - Everything will be recognized unless you wipe something.

2. Yes

3. No need to undo anything. Copy 2nd partition data from old sd card to new sd card. Insert the new sd card and you'll be good to go.

Note: Just to be safe before doing 1 and 3 take a backup.
[Android Apps and Games] Stevemann:
Vicky, many thanks for your great App and the answers above.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
You're welcome. Make sure you rate the app on GP
[Android Apps and Games] haplox:
Hello vickybonick, giving another try to the app.

At this moment it is working fine, without the need of soft reboot after a reboot.

- I have made another clean installation of my ROM (CyanMobile-GB 2.3.8).

- Erased all kind of mounting scripts in init.d

Unchecking the automount in the ROM configuration

- Installing first busybox from Market and assuring that fdisk is installed

- Installing Apps2SD and mounting my 2nd partition as EXT4 (reformated ALL the SD, with SD-EXT in ext4)

Th e only thing is that I see my internal Data partition goes on growing as I install apps. Can this be fixed?

Thanks and great app
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Do you mean even after linking apps, internal Data partition size is growing?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark-Coder:
Hello.. /

That Partition Problem Still Not Fixed ??? :confused:

Creating 17MB partition of FAT32 every time... :(

And another problem is Some of my Games not Working After Moving...

Like i Move Asphalt 8 , Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja.. Angry Birds Works Fine but Asphalt and Fruit Ninja said Resources are Missing And it start downloading those additional Files (Unlinking Move the files again to internal memory and after unlinking app again start too Works Normally)...

Please Fix these Issues , as Soon As Possible... :(
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Partition issue will be fixed in next release. As for games not linking properly. Please do a reboot after linking obb/external file. it should work fine. A soft reboot might work too(if it doesn't do a full reboot).
[Android Apps and Games] Dark-Coder:
Hello...

Game(s) Still Not Working After Linking( Did Full Reboot , No Luck)..

For Example i Link Asphalt 8 and it Successfully Linked , i Full Reboot and still No Problem But Game itself Not Running.. :confused:

Please See this Video (1)...

http://www.fileconvoy.com/dfl.php?id=gfea3700dcd408bd6999701346c59066f435ea24ea

After Unlinking Game Working Fine , No issue(s) At All... This Only Happening With Bigger Games or Maybe only With GameLoft Games.. :(

Please See this Video (2)...

http://www.fileconvoy.com/dfl.php?id=g53bc5497dea9417499970134850e24d52d2ce9faf

It would be Nice if You Check By Your Own Too (Take Asphalt 8 For testing)

(Please Let me Know As Soon As Possible When This Issue got resolved/fixed)

Some Suggestions ... i have some suggestions regarding GUI if you don't Mind..

1: Please add Percentage or Progress Bar where it says "in Progress" ... So this would give us Good Idea About How much More we have to Wait or How Much Time Approx Remaining to Complete ..

2: Please Give "Linked" Etc More Dark Colors or Make Them More Visible , Increase it's font Size etc Because this Linked Text (When we Link , a Text Shows up under the App Named "LINKED") is Almost Unnoticeable , We have to see every App Very Carefully...

Thanks in Advance... :)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I'll test the game tomorrow. In couple of days i'll release next version with several fixes.

I'm working on suggestion 1 but it'll take more time because i need to rewrite the core. I'll implement suggestion 2 in next release.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark-Coder:
Thanks , Waiting for Next Release... :D

[MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION]

Ive never used any of the other Apps everyone has used , so I dont know how to use your app. Is there some kind of tutorial you can direct me to, that can teach me the basics for using the app? Linking is better than completely moving the apps right? Because it moves them except keeps a symbolic link in the old location? Thats the main reason I found your app to begin with
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Yes it moves the files to 2nd partition and keeps a symlink in the original location. Here is a Youtube video(Made for an old version) on how to use Apps2SD. I'll create a FAQ link and update the video with audio very soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark-Coder:
How to See the Failed One ?? it shows that FAILED:1 , how i see which one failed ???
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
What do you mean by failed one? Apps2SD restores files if something fails.
[Android Apps and Games] haplox:
Hello vickybonick,

Anyher bug/issue that I have found, at least in my phone. When I recreate the scritp and mark that my ROM has int.d support, the script created in init.d (Apps2sd) points to a mounting directory that in my ROM DOES NOT EXIST (data/sdext2).

So I receive a mounting error in every reboot (the mounting point does not exist). I have created the directory by hand to take the app working fine
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Thanks for reporting i'll have that fixed. Did it say data/sdext2 or /data/sdext2
[Android Apps and Games] Dark-Coder:
EveryTime when i Reboots My Phone , it Starts Linking and shows Successfully Binded : 21 and Failed : 1 (Total : 22) .... So what is This Failed Thingy ???
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Check out the link http://valuestuffz.blogspot.com/2015/08/how-to-fix-error-906-in-google-play.html
[Android Apps and Games] gordie99:
yes, method 3/4 works....(method one did not) .but before i tried to put in a bigger card, it was working without having to unmount the card, did not change anything with the 128 card which i put back in

i know i have write permissions on both cards because apps2sd still works

what causes an apk to no longer install on the sdcard? i figured i'll reformat with fat32

thanks for the fast reply, vicki!
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
That's a mystery :)
[Android Apps and Games] gordie99:
you are correct!

so i put a fresh 128gb card in and install is working again (evo, factory exfat)

i unmount, put the old 128 in and it's working

unmount and put the 200g in and it's working

each one has a slightly different part1 exfat

the one out of the box (evo) had hpfs/ntfs->exfat

the old 128 had linux->exfat

the 200g has win95->exfat (all as reported by roehsoft partition toolkit)

go figure!

[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Mounting system as rw didn't work. Install kingroot again and Before running the script, manually mount system as rw.
[Android Apps and Games] senseye2324:
and now ?
[Android Apps and Games] anaknin:
Does the SDfix included work on cm13?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
System is still read only
[Android Apps and Games] stipx:
I got everything working in CM13 (except the umount thing) without the need of super su. I use the built in su support from cyanogenmod.

I finally got to modifying the mountscript (damn job ;) ).

I attached the modified mountscript. When I call it manually mounting works as expected. I hope it is the right one ( /system/etc/apps2sd-mountscript.sh). When does this script get called? I also experienced that the debug logfile was not written after booting the device although the error dialog appeared.

After I started the script I got an output in the debug file:

Sun Mar 20 17:50:56 CET 2016 mounting...
/data/sdext2
Need to umount /dev/block/vold/public:179_66 ?
Attempt to umount /dev/block/vold/public:179_66
mount: '/dev/block/mmcblk1p2'->'/data/sdext2': Device or resource busy
mount: '/dev/block/vold/179:66'->'/data/sdext2': No such file or directory
mount: '/dev/block/vold/public:179_66'->'/data/sdext2': Device or resource busy

And afterwards everything worked as expected (of course I had to do a soft reboot).

Maybe you have some advice what I should do next? Did I miss something?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
If the debug logfile was not written after booting the device then mount script was not executed. This can be due to selinux denial or script not being called.
[Android Apps and Games] ivanws:
No works in cm13 as internal storage no such file exist

Sorry for my bad English
[Android Apps and Games] Zeviorak:
.

Does this work on cm13?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
What error you are getting?
[Android Apps and Games] ivanws:
When create script mount after reboot error in script mount this in cm13 and not move apps to sd

Sorry for my bad english

[Android Apps and Games] TheDerekHarper:
Just bought the app, Whoo!

Quick question: I have 59.6GB free (of my 64GB micro SD card) and i wanted to get the best for both partition.

What settings should I use to maximize efficiency?

Again, I'd like to be able to split the card in half. One side will be for photos/videos/media and the other to move apps and such.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
40 - 20 should be more than enough
[Android Apps and Games] TheDerekHarper:
How would I go about doing that? Seems complicated to be honest.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Use the partition tool to create 2 partitions. First partition 40 gb fat32 and 2nd as ext4. Perform a backup of SD card first
[Android Apps and Games] TheDerekHarper:
Like so?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Select the filesystem for 2nd partition as ext4 and click yes
[Android Apps and Games] TheDerekHarper:
This normal?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It's a dummy message shown in marshmallow. Don't format
[Android Apps and Games] TheDerekHarper:
Thanks, and this?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Create mount script. Open link apps to SD card module
[Android Apps and Games] TheDerekHarper:
Ext4 correct?
[Android Apps and Games] TheDerekHarper:
Thanks for all the help :)

For the most part it seems to be operating 'as should' with a couple exceptions to: Spotify, Cortana, and Google News & Weather.

Can't seem to link those apps go the SD card without crashing.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Link everything apart from internal data for those apps
[Android Apps and Games] TheDerekHarper:
Guessing unlike the data folder?
[Android Apps and Games] TheDerekHarper:
So far so good, guess that was it.

Definitely leaving you a five star review on Google play, thank you for all your support :)
[Android Apps and Games] stipx:
But I don't get it. The error dialog is shown after booting. Is there any way to track that down?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
There are two methods used by Apps2SD to mount 2nd partition, mount script and after device is booted. If mount script was not able to mount then after boot it'll be mounted and an error will be shown. In next release i'm adding an option to auto soft reboot if it was not mounted
[Android Apps and Games] riznuma:
i have problem, after linked my games they work fine. but when i updated the game, they wont open anymore and need reinstall. what should i do? its too much GB to reinstall and linked again.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
We can debug the issue over the weekend
[Android Apps and Games] unclegreggy:
can this app damage your sd card or only if you have swap partition to use for swappiness?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It won't damage it but it'll reduce lifetime of the card
[Android Apps and Games] unclegreggy:
ohh i see even if I didn't create a partition for swappiness?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
If sd card is used it's lifetime will decrease. Linking apps also reduces lifetime
[Android Apps and Games] unclegreggy:
okay thanks, somehow while playing GTA my phone screen bled and rebooted then on my notification it says "damaged sd card. try formatting it." lol duno how that occured -.- now my sd card is like dead tried the solutions i found here in the forums and outside but no luck. :/
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Get a sandisk class 10 card
[Android Apps and Games] btb55:
Another swap related question, does creating a dedicated swap partition on the SD card give us any performance advantage?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
If you don't have built-in swap then yes. Even if you have a built-in swap it might improve performance
[Android Apps and Games] unclegreggy:
i guess the one i bought was a dud class 10 lol -.- dang it.. so my sd card has no chance of being fix huh?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Try to reformat
[Android Apps and Games] unclegreggy:
I tried reformatting it with disk management on windows and other 3rd party programs that might recover lost data but it just ejects itself even when formatting hasn't even started, I tried chkdsk /x /f on cmd but SD card is on a raw format. I also tried using a raw format formatter to fat32/ntfs but it just says "Partition collapsed, initialize drive and try again." after doing that it just ejects sd card hmm so I guess i really need to buy a new one? cuz what im using was a samsung class 10 sd card :/

oh and also was it because i kept reformatting the sd card using apps2sd everytime I flash a new rom and links apps to it and cycle repeats..
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Give gparted a try.
[Android Apps and Games] unclegreggy:
okay i'll give it try, so far i'm trying to fix it using MiniTool if it doesn't work i'll try gparted, some how the sd card is detected but cannot be accessed, partition is also lost and the whole 32gb spaced is used..
[Android Apps and Games] unclegreggy:
no use even gparted cannot create partition table :/ might as well buy a new sd card , thanks for the help :)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Hmm. I use a sandisk card and its holding good even tough i'm using it for testing
[Android Apps and Games] arpcpro:
Anyone tried to link the game Dead Trigger 2? It is around 500mb but it never works when I link 450mb of OBB to 1st or 2nd partition.

I've also noticed errors downloading apps from the playstore. Error code 963 mostly and error code 924. With opera mini beta is always happening. I have to unmount the sd card to install opera mini beta successfully.
[Android Apps and Games] unclegreggy:
I dunno why it gave up so fast I bought it last month -.- so I guess SanDisk brand is the way to go.
[Android Apps and Games] curioct:
HI Vicky,

I'm a long time user of link2sd who didn't really do the homework when the s7 came out waited for the root and xposed support but didn't consider for one second linking apps to SD would be a problem.

Anyway I quickly realised l2s wouldnt work and bought your pro app which seems like l2s but on steroids and still supported.

So I tried your app but I couldn't get it working yes I managed to link apps to the sd card (dual reboot) but once in this state the FAT32 or xFAT partition (I tried both!) was not readable by the phone? I guess this piece is all I really need but couldnt figure out.

So in the end I moved to adoptable but encountered the same issues everyone else is suffering as in its basically crap and intensely manual, and it seems like every update means an app needs redoing, i.e. this is not a long term solution for me. I have had a read through this thread and done some searches, but I cant seem to find the answers I am looking for so I have a few questions

The new way marshmallow treats storage seems to be the issue.

do you have a recommended set up that should allow both the ext partition and the fat partition to run sat the same time? any way to get rid of the corrupted sd card nag?

my set up was always FAT32/xFAT primary and active then ext4 primary

Are you planning on adding any tools to make the the adoptable storage more palatable? bulk moving detecting where apps are etc etc?

I have upwards of 1000 apps (system and user) so changing thing without knowing it will work is a pretty big deal for me, I am happy to help with devlopment/testing if you need this I can reflash the phone fairly easily with TWRP etc
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
1) The only way to avoid soft reboot after reboot on MM is to flash a kernel with selinux disabled.

2) I don't have a way to disable the notification

3) What are your suggestions regarding adoptable storage?
