Has anyone ever been able to expand the second partition with out having to format? I'd like to to know before buying this app. My app mngr pro sucks!
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
You should be able to extend the second partition using MiniTool.
[Android Apps and Games] passport619:
Ok, cool, thank you!

Hi, I contact you because I have a problem with your application. I've been using it for quite some time, and I can completely move all the components of the application to the microsd, but often after moving an application it does not open or disappears completely, in these cases I have to uninstall and reinstall and it is very annoying. It's not an application problem because the same ones, after reinstalling them, work properly after moving them, so it just seems like a random problem. I hope in a reply, I'm sorry I can not use an application that is indispensable to me. I'm sorry for my english. Greetings.

If you are using SuperSu or Magisk then Recreate the mount script using su.d option otherwise use the Advanced method
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Anywhere between 512MB to 1GB
[Android Apps and Games] catfre:
Yes, I'm using SuperSu. Can i recreate mount script advanced method with root systemless? It modify partition system?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Advanced method will modify system, use su.d for systemless. Make sure you use SuperSU 2.79 or the latest one
[Android Apps and Games] paed808:
With Magisk v13 Beta (official build) foldermount doesn't work. I have to mount it manually and it says success , then I check the internal storage and the files are not present, and if I go back into Apps2SD it shows the folder as unmounted. Worked in Magisk v12
[Android Apps and Games] catfre:
Ok, I'll try with su.d, thanks ?
[Android Apps and Games] paed808:
Nevermind it was due to the Namespace mode in Magisk v13, I switched it to global namespace and it works now.
[Android Apps and Games] catfre:
I have tried to follow your directions, I reinstalled the partition with su.d and initially seemed to work, but then the usual application problem that disappears, leaving only the package to be uninstalled. I use SuperSu version 2.82.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Try magisk instead of SuperSU

Notification remover app doesn't help :mad: any suggestions? I'm on CM13
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Use the latest version to recreate the partitions it will fix the issue
[Android Apps and Games] Child's Play:
I did but it didn't work. 2nd partition wasn't created successfully, so I used MiniTool instead
[Android Apps and Games] misternop:
A lot of apps that don't support being moved to adopted storage natively after being force moved to adopted storage show error at updating them. Then the only way is to uninstall them, reinstall latest version and then again force move to adopted storage. I wonder if there's anything Apps2SD can do about this or is this strictly a repercussion of not having proper adopted storage support in app itself. Because apps still work from adopted storage location, just updating them doesn't.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Well then nothing i can do. Check if the Notification remover has all the permissions and the filter condition is correct
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Apps2SD uses hidden system function to force the apps to adoptable storage. So there's nothing i can do to fix it. Use the linking option.
[Android Apps and Games] jesuita:
Today after linking 2 apps to second partition they disappeared.

The option to recover them didn't work either.

Why was that?
[Android Apps and Games] lee99:
Try to repair second partition. And btw if you are using custom recovery you probably can access and repair your second partitoon as well.

What sdcard are you using and how long? Maybe your card is dying and you will need to buy a new one. Who knows.

Best regards
[Android Apps and Games] jesuita:
But it's just those 2 apps that stopped working, they kind of disappeared.

I have a lot more on the sdcard and they all work.

Anyway, I'll try to repair the second partition but one question before - will that clean the partition or I don't have to worry about loosing the apps?
[Android Apps and Games] lee99:
Don't link them. Use internal storage instead and see what will happened.

Do you get force close massages? If yes you can also try to clean all data of those two apps.

And last one. Are you linking this apps with app data or you have app data on your internal storage?

Best regards
[Android Apps and Games] passport619:
I looked up the info regarding minitool and they don't support ext4. Guess I'll hold off till they make an app that can do this.
[Android Apps and Games] martyfender:
If I'm not mistaken, You can boot a gparted live cd or live usb key on a windows machine to do this. The micro sd card needs to be in a card reader on that machine. I haven't done this myself to confirm, though. I may be wrong. I still think you would need to backup the files on the fat32 partition to your pc as that partition would need to be deleted to change the ext size.

Minitool can create ext4 partitions, but you can't resize them without data loss.
[Android Apps and Games] catfre:
Hi, I have followed all of your suggestions but unfortunately nothing has changed, sometimes the applications disappear or do not start anymore. ?

[Android Apps and Games] HighFidelity2k:
Hi again,

First problem is that active Folder Mount pairs make my phone boot slowly and heat up.

Second problem is like others describe, that odex file becomes unlinked after a while, especially after wiping dalvik cache. Further, my linked obb data is not shown, but exists. Now i had to move everything back to internal to make obb visible and working again. I also recreated mount script.
[Android Apps and Games] iPAQ 6515a User:
Similar issue here. I use Folder Mount option only. Am symlinking 12 folders, downloads and DCIM among them and noticed the phone heats up a lot (it never happened in versions 10.x). On top of it, the symlinks are wonky:

* when booted into recovery I noticed that the folders that supposedly are symlinked are full of files (they should stay empty) and the destination folders on my external card have the same files. Am sure this is not ok. I have a similar issue with symlinked Titanium Backup folder

* files downloaded to download folder through xda app and Tapatalk are downloaded to internal storage download folder only (in theory they should be sent to the destination symlinked folder on my external card instead), they are not visible at all as the folder is symlinked (I can see them in recovery only)

* if I want to switch off pairing, the phone hangs, and nothing happens. The switch stays on, so does the symlink

I have been experiencing these problems ever since v11+ update.

I am on Samsung Galaxy SGH-I337M running JDCTeam 6.0.1 AOSP Rom
[Android Apps and Games] jimbo77:
Thank you for this. I was going nuts with the same problem and your suggestion fixed it :)
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
I've got some idea about the issue. Hopefully it'll be fixed in next version
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
There's some performance issue with the mount script, i'll fix them in next version. If you're using magisk v13 them set namespace to global
[Android Apps and Games] hellicious:
im kinda new on this android stuff and i was partitioning my sd card using your app and now i want to remove the partition but how do i do that? i tried to format it using in built format feature but it gave me an error
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Use System -> Storage -> Erase sd card
[Android Apps and Games] jesuita:
Hello.

The same thing happened again.

These 2 apps, Firefox and Mobile access for Outlook, were working correctly. They were linked to the second partition with all the linking options checked.

Today they were updated by Google play store and after and it even popped a notification saying "Relinking app". However after the update and the relink were completed as soon as I touch they force close. After rebooting they disappeared from the launcher.

What can I do to stop this from happening?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Check your pm
[Android Apps and Games] ivicasd:
Thank you for your answer!

IF I want to use BOTH swapping AND linking features, do I need 3 partitions on my SD card?

1 for swapping (up to 1 GB), 1 for linking (as much as I like, e.g. 4 GB) and 1 for standard external SD memory (the rest of the space) ?
[Android Apps and Games] Zehlek:
Anyone find that Apps2sd don't detect latest Magisk 13.0?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Yes, it'll be fixed in next version
[Android Apps and Games] Zehlek:
I'm trying out a new SD Card and after creating a second partition. I rebooted and I am getting this error. I selected fat32 for main and ext4 for 2nd partition
[Android Apps and Games] Zehlek:
Also this is what I select when I go to partition . After it says completed, it doesn't ask to reboot and also my emulated/internal storage disappears and I have to reboot into recovery and wipe internal storage
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Reformat the 2nd partition as ext2 and try again. If you're going to use Apps2SD partition tool then change lower left dropdown from Create to Format
[Android Apps and Games] Zehlek:
Thank you I will try that
[Android Apps and Games] Zehlek:
Didn't work, I wonder if I need to reflash my rom?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:

I installed latest version of Magisk 13, and latest apps2sd, but still couldn't get it to work whichever method of creating mount script i choose. Installed magisk module to enable init.d, no luck either. I'm not sure however what path i have to set to su.d/post-fs-data.d/servise.d. There are two directories in magisk core directory - post-fs-data.d and servise.d. Tried to put mountscript manually there, but no luck either. Any help would be appreciated
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:

I cannot link the Cyan colored data from root/data/data.

If I do, the app no longer runs.

I cannot manually mount root/data/data/[app data folder]/files to my EXT-4 partition because the folder mount stop working later on.

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

Use the internal Partition Tool that is in the apps2sd menu.

You also may have to change to a fuse file system

Your partition is correct. You also have to see if your file manager can see the Fat32 and if Root Explorer can see root/data/sdext2

If I proceed on this, what would happen with systemless root?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
System partition will be modified
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Well, yes... that's what the prompt says; but I meant, what exactly happens with systemless root?... Whatever, here's the problem: I'm starting to have this issue in which 2nd partition is not being mounted at boot, however, there was no such issue before; it's happening after I've restored nandroid backup due to some microphone not properly working issue I was in hope to fix (not related with this) I've been using Apps2SD for more than a year now on this very same device so far, with no particular issues; though, If I did something in order to make Apps2SD work flawlessly, or even if you suggested something to do so one year ago, quite frankly, I just can't remember. So first I've iinstalled Apps2SD on plain stock Android 6.0 and it was flawless; then I switched to squid2 r16g kernel for Moto X Play and Apps2SD still was flawless; now, on either very same arrangements it isn't anymore. In some other prompt, it says something about a script to solve bind issue, perhaps that's what solved the problem in the past, but as I said before, I just can't remember if I even had a problem! Which could be this magic script?

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

After doing this magisk modules stop working, i guess they don't copy files to system, for example viper4a and others just disappear after reboot. Delete the mounting script and reboot - they're back. Strange
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
It seems to be working fine for me. Can you try with a fresh install? Maybe the corrupt apps2sd binary did some system modification
[Android Apps and Games] e-cl:
Shure. Uninstalled, deleted all the files and folders containing apps2sd in their names, reinstalled, put your linked file, and all the same, when mounted magisk's modules do not load files, apps disappears. Delete mount script - all comes back. If it matters, magisk is latest version.
[Android Apps and Games] Bob1900:
[MENTION=6726362]vickybonick[/MENTION] Hello, thank you for a very good and versatile app. I have a question: I have a successful install of Apps2SD with three partitions: fat32, ext4 and swap. Now I want to split the fat32 partition in two, and create a new ext4 partition (so I can install Linux with "Linux Deploy").

Can I just copy the files over to backup, then delete the fat32 partition and split it? And recreate a new fat32 and copy the files back?

Or will I have to reinstall Apps2SD and re-link all the apps?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Perhaps flash the ROM again and try. Make sure to replace the apps2sd binary before you create mount script
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
As long as the 2nd partition is intact you'll be fine. You'll have to recreate the mount script by changing the device block path. e.g if it is /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 then change it to /dev/block/mmcblk1p4 or the appropriate path

@ vickybonick

is it possible to switch on a phone with Link2SD to Apps2SD without loosing linked Apps and Data?
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Symlinks will be detected but obb and ext data bound by Link2SD plus will not be detected
[Android Apps and Games] maven33:
ok, it was only the Link2SD free version installed. So I can safely remove Link2SD and install Apps2SD?

Asking because the device has low internal storage and I need to change it over teamviewer.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
yes uninstall Link2SD, Install Apps2SD, Recreate mount script with proper method, reboot and test
[Android Apps and Games] maven33:
... and if gapps is crashing? I tried fixing permissions and broken app cleaner, clear all caches and dalvik caches.
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:

Maybe just dirty reflash gapps?
[Android Apps and Games] the13thstraycat:
Hello! Not sure what the safest way to proceed is. Apps2sd can't determine 2nd partitions file system (in remount)

Phone:metro pcs k-10 ms428 16GB + 32GB Sandisk U3 w/TWRP 3.1.1

History

(pre-root & apps2sd):

-16GB adopted storage created on 32GB SD/ remainder as External

-some movable apps moved with AppMgr III, some non-critical unmovable apps made movable with APK editor

-data migrated to adopted storage

(rooted)

-Installed Apps2SD, immediately installed Pro, uninstalled Apps2SD (before reading FAQ lol)

I can't seem to use Apps2SD to move apps (Sandisk SD reads/writes 3X faster than internal SD)

-2nd partition is not mounted, please remount or recreate mount script and/or reboot to mount correctly

-recreated mount script with pre-selected option (magisk interface)

-remount brings up error.

-reboot does not fix it.

Is it safer to revert apps/data back to internal (ExtSD is backed up to Laptop), and use Apps2SD to redo it all?
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Vicky, as I told you via E-mail, I've ended up installing SuperSu v2.82 from Play Store and it solved the 2nd partition mount issue of v2.62, as well as the Wi-Fi disabled issue from v2.79 (though I'm now experiencing some random FCs of native apps) I understand that SuperSu downloaded from Play Store is not supposed to be systemless (is it?), that's why Apps2SD is working now (isn't it?). However, in SuperSu settings I've noticed that the option to install SuperSu into system is greyed out because the option is not available in systemless root mode (?)... though, Apps2SD does not detect systemless root which is confirmed by "Root Checker" that's telling me SU is in fact, installed in system/xbin, which means it's actually not systemless(?!)... But then, with file explorer, I've found SU is also installed in su/bin (?!), which means systemless!!!... Do you have any idea about what is happening here? is this some sort of trick generated by Apps2SD in order to do its job?
[Android Apps and Games] Bob1900:
Thank you. :good: I didn't need to recreate the mount script, because the Apps2SD partition kept its designation after I repartitioned the SD card in Gparted.
[Android Apps and Games] 10507:
I am not sure. Everytimes I link or move app, apps2sd would said successfully but I don't see any different in memory storage
[Android Apps and Games] vickybonick:
Where do you check the memory details. Default android storage details will not give the correct details. Please use Storage Info option in Apps2SD to view actual storage details. Let me know if internal storage is getting decreased there.
