I was mainly using the sound tweaks feature of NUI kernel. But for recent changes in CM, NUI also need to be updated accordingly. Which is troublesome for me. Do you know how to increase sound for speaker or headset .Or are you using similar feature with other apps/tweaks?

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
Yes bro, I'm using this port.

Whats App cannot write in mounted folder

Hallo,

I am using Xperia M Dual on cm 13. Last days I intalled Apps2ds Pro and it works. Linking Apps on second partition works fine. Sometimes it does not mount the second partition but it works the most times. Can anyone tell me why it works the most times and sometimes not?

Mounting a folder on first partition also works. But my problem is that WhatsApp cannot write. I linked the folder 'media' to the first partition because I have many pics and videos from the past. WhatsApp can read these things but I can't download any media. Can anyone please help me with my problem?

In configuration I choosed the options 2, 3 and 7 for the folder.
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
Try v80 of Apps2sd.
[Sony Xperia M] Plbg:
Thanks for your quick reply and sorry that I didn't mention that in my question. I have installed the v8 from Play Store because I bought and installed Pro version just two or thre days ago.
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
No, sorry for my late reply.

Any way, did you asked developer in original thread about your pro version?

I think he will help you better than me in that issues.
[Sony Xperia M] Plbg:
Thank you very much. I will do this now. Maybe he can help me. :)
[Sony Xperia M] Plbg:
It seems to be a problem of Whats App because Titanium Backup can write like I found out yesterday.

So I have another idea. Can I declare my sd card as internal storage and after my phone has decrypted the whole SD card split it back into two partitions? So I could link some apps on the second partition which don't support it in the normal mode (for example Google Maps which also saves the data section in internal storage). Do you understand what I want to try?
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
Yes I understand.

No you can't.

Please don't do that.

Apps2sd or link2sd doesn't support adoptable storage.

It must be normal storage and divided to two partition one is fat 32 and second partition must be ext2 or ext4 and both of them as primary.
[Sony Xperia M] Plbg:
Okay. It was just an idea. But with the adoptable storage I would just need the function to link the apps on the second partition because for example WhatsApp would use directly the SD Card for data.
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
With adoptable storage there's no second partition!!

About "WhatsApp" did you tried "folder mount option"?
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
If you use adoptable storage , you don't have any internal storage again. And why you still to need link your apps to ext sdcard? I think many social media apps work correctly with adoptable feature?
[Sony Xperia M] Plbg:
Yes, I tried folder mount option in Apps2SD and every app I tried could write in data partion. Only WhatsApp did not write in media folder on data partition so I couldn't downloiad any sent media. Now I have changed to adopted storage and the download of media works.

The problem with the original adopting is that it was impossible to move some apps on adoptable storage because I didn't get the option. So now I force the movement with Apps2SD and my small internal storage keeps free space. But now the icons of adopted apps disappear on home screen after every restart. I asked the developer and I hope I just have configured something wrong. Or my nightly is too old (13.04.) but I had problems yesterday with the latest nightly because my status bar didn't work properly. I will update in a few days and I look if it works then.
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
[MENTION=7466379]Plbg[/MENTION] be careful, in my opinion "adoptable" is not safety.

It could be damage your SD card or hard break your internal storage.
[Sony Xperia M] Plbg:
Oh that's bad. Thanks that you tell me this but I have no other chance because of the problem with folder mount and whats app. Also the developer of Apps2SD suggested me to use this. So I will use it now and if my internal storage breaks and the phone is dead then I have a reason to buy a new one ;)

If only the storage breaks until I reinstall system then it isn't so bad because then I reflash and try the folder mount again in some months. Maybe the problem is fixed until then.

I just hope that the system doesn't break when I'm on holiday...that would be very bad :eek:
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
OK, good luck [emoji4]
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
Where did you get this opinion? -_-
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
I just don't like it, I think it needs more development.
[Sony Xperia M] Nicklas Van Dam:
Yeah I know that's problem. That's not from adoptable storage problem, but that's from some third party apps that not support to move to external storage when we use adoptable or normal external partition. You still can move it by link it app, but I don't know that safe or not. Cause exactly that app you move it, not support to move on another partition except internal storage ? :confused:

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------

To break our sdcard maybe that's not problem again, cause this feature is almost stable now. We only need sdcard class 6 to run properly and minimum requirement and class 10 for best performance. And for break internal storage, I'm never have problem with that. But you need to full wipe if you want to change your ROM to stock or another custom ROM. Like wipe data,cache and internal storage. And for external sdcard you need to wipe it alone on PC using mini tool partition wizard. After that you'll safe to using your device and sdcard again
[Sony Xperia M] sbiswas:
My 32 gb transcend class 10 got damaged for adoptable storage. Now I am happy with this.

Hi [MENTION=4850039]kh34d[/MENTION] I'm having such annoying issues with apps2sd, when some apps get fc after link or just after a reboot, any solution? :(
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
Hi, did you do all steps?

If yes, try to use the broken app cleaner to clean all the unwanted files on 2nd partition, then install apps again and link it.

Of course update app2sd to last version.

May be that's useful for you.
[Sony Xperia M] Alex_Gamer:
Yeah, I followed the steps like every clean flash that I do, plus I have the latest app version btw this happens randomly but it's strange because the problem is seems to be data lost or corrupted, what can I do in that case?
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
Good, I see developer helped you.

I think when you link just "apk files"

You will avoid such issues.

If not try flash stock rom to get signal then flash Cm13 again

[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:

Did you tried wipe everything even internal memory?
[Sony Xperia M] Alex_Gamer:
HI, I'm getting problems on aosp... It doesn't recognize the second partition as cm13 and apps2sd is not working because that, what can I do this time??
[Sony Xperia M] agavia:
i did clean install but the problem remains. its a random thing. sometimes the signal shows but most of the time its lost if u softreboot. is there any solution that i don't have to soft reboot with the app still functional...???
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
Send logcat to developer of Apps2sd, but I think there something wrong in your side.
[Sony Xperia M] Alex_Gamer:
I think is rom problem.. On cm13 the second partition its recognized, not here so I think i better get back to cm

Hi, i'm getting a message "An error has ocurred", then i press OK and the app closes. I followed all steps one by one,even from the dev's thread (specific SuperSU and apk versions), sd card well partitioned (minitoolPW) but the message keep going. I need some help please :eek:

I have latest CypherOS Marshmallow rom wich is CM-based and permissive SElinux by default

Saludos
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
If your second partition is ext2, Try ext4.
[Sony Xperia M] holamundo216:
I tried both (actually the internal partition of the xperia M is ext4) but i just cant select any option because of the pop-up message. Might it be because is a CM-based rom and no an official CyanogenMod one?
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
BTW.

First partition must be fat32, the second can be ext2 or ext4.

Both of them must be primary.

Issue solved! newbie style! i just installed the free version and it works properly, my problem was with paid version. thanks anyways:good:
[Sony Xperia M] MaxySpark:
Before these steps, what should I do First?

i m using CM13

Should I flash disable_selinux.zip and then superSU from here http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
Yes if you have Sony Xperia M.
[Sony Xperia M] MaxySpark:
will it work on android one
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
Super su will not work until you disable SELinux.

You must search in your device section for it.

You must have permissive mode first or custom kernel to use this especial version of SuperSU.

Hi Guys, I am going to follow the below steps, please guide me if I am wrong.

1. Take Backup of Memory Card (32Gb)

2. Format and Partition in 22GB(Fat32) and 10Gb(Ext4)

3. Set SELinux to Permissive.

4. Flash disable_selinux.zip

5. Flash SuperSu version given over here.

6. Then Install App2sd given over here.

7. Link Apps with partition 2.

If anything goes wrong then flash my Rom Again.

Ressurection Remix 5.7.1

TWRP Recovery.
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
Hi, there's no step (3)

3=4
[Sony Xperia M] madsand:
3- Install "universal init.d" and make it "ON".

4- Select "use public vold" in setting of apps2sd.

7- install busy box [/SIZE][/B]

Are the above steps necessary? because the first post doesn't mention them.

Thanks for the info.
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
No. 7 not necessarily because it's now "built in" in app2sd.

Try without no. 3 first.
[Sony Xperia M] madsand:
Hi Dude,

I have done all steps

1. Take Backup of Memory Card (32Gb)

2. Format and Partition in 22GB(Fat32) and 10Gb(Ext4)

3. Set SELinux to Permissive.

4. Flash disable_selinux.zip

5. Flash SuperSu version given over here.

6. Then Install App2sd given over here.

But when I open App2sd to link apps it takes too much time / Ram and phone becomes unresponsive.

I have to remove battery to restart the phone, probably done it around 8 times or so.

Please suggest a solution for this. Or can I use some another similar app for the same.
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
If you run marshmallow try step 4 and 5 , good luck [emoji106]
[Sony Xperia M] madsand:
Select "use public vold" in setting of apps2sd.

How do I do this?
[Sony Xperia M] kh34d:
I don't use app2sd now but open sitting and search for it.
[Sony Xperia M] madsand:
I have linked Apps now

Now ES explorer doesnt show ext2 partitions data?

Is it an issue on my end or do I need to use some other file explorer.

Hi Guys, Apps2sd is now working for me. The internal storage is now free.

I have also got multiple issues using this. And got tired cleaning up again again using broken app cleaner. It is not that much stable. After reboot most of the apps get broken. I have used this for few months. But it seems it is not great.

[Sony Xperia M] extremetek:
Because the accessible (FAT32) part of the SD card is being mounted before boot, so the EXT part gets mounted after boot (pretty much the same as adoptable storage), and it will make the device have to refresh apps list by soft rebooting. Plus Marshmallow has more strict storage management, so the EXT part will be render corrupted.

Firmware guides and contributing files

3.1 Downloading full firmware packages ​

You can follow [MENTION=4877730]Corduroysack[/MENTION] ‘s guide here which will work on windows.

Or you can use following websites:

1.	http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model

2.	http://samsung-updates.com/

3.	http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

(NOTE: On Sammobile you’ll need to create a FREE account, to download firmware files)

3.2 Backing up and restoring your device’s data ​

This portion of the guide assumes you are using the LATEST version of TWRP recovery. If not, you can download it from here

-nope-

3.3 Repartitioning and installing full firmware packages ​

-nope-

3.4 Download links for latest PIT files for all variants ​

Thanks to [MENTION=4583018]yakapa40[/MENTION] for helping and giving me permission to use his PIT files for the I9500, I9506 and I9515 variants!

I’ve checked and these are the latest files accessible.

-nope-

3.5 Creating flashable .tar files automatically using The_MaB script ​

If you have acces to a Linux environment, use the MoBo_Maker (1.4) script!

-- TO BE UPDATED --

Installing the script

1. Download the script and make it executable
2. Navigate to the directory you downloaded the file using a terminal
3. Type: ./MoBo_Maker --install
This will move the script into /bin and apply correct permissions to it

Using the script:

MoBo_Makker XXU---- -d -p -r --bootloader --radio --combined
First parameter always has to be the letter code in question.

-d
Enables debugging
-p
Moves the bootloader, modem and NON-HLOS files to the current
directory and keeps them
-r
Removes files in the current directory named the same, instead
of renaming them
--bootloader
Adds BOOTLOADER to the list of .tar files the script will make
--radio
Adds GSM and NON-HLOS to the list of .tar files the script will make
--combined
Adds the COMBINED baggage to the list of .tar files the script will make
‘—radio’ has to be given first for this to work

Making .tar files using the script

1. Download the preferred firmware from SamMobile
2. Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the firmware
3. Extract the firmware you downloaded into a folder
4. Type into the terminal MoBo_Makker LetterCode [OPTIONS]
5. Wait for the script to run
6. Done!

3.6 Template for posting new firmware files ​

If you want to contribute modems and bootloaders, please follow this format in your post to ease downloading and finding the files using the search tool. Then just notify me using a mention, [MENTION=6082440]_Bon_Bon[/MENTION], so I’ll give a link to your post it in the OP :good:

The downloads from Sammobile are taking so long, that I probably won't have them ready before tomorrow. So if someone has some more up-to date modems and/or bootloaders they can post, I'd be more than grateful :)

And BTW, I updated the OP and I'll post as soon as possible a handy little script for making the requested .zip files from given firmware automatically :good:

Hey, great thread, just what a noob like me needs! Could you please explain what the difference is between "GSM", "NON-HLOS" and "GSM and NON-HLOS"? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
Thanks :)

GSM is the modem itself and NON-HLOS (also referred as the WiFi fix) is flashed to fix compatibility issues with the WiFi. The Combined files just has both of these files together to make flashing more convenient ;)

I'll add more detailed explanations to the OP as soon as I can :D :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
Sadly, I can't add the XXUHOL3 lollipop mode, as it's missing some bootloader files :/

On another note, I added one more KitKat file, XXUGNK4 and marked it as latest

OK so here goes. I'm on O2 network and was curious, will an O2 modem increase signal strength to the O2 network or doesn't it work that way? I'm still on UHOJ2 modem & BL. Just checking before I update to latest unbranded

Sent from my GT-I9505
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
Only if you'd have an older modem, would it affect the signal strength. So updating your modem will most likely only give you a more secure signal. It won't make it more stronger nor weaker. Updating you bootloader has nothing to do with your signal strength, so updating it is advised to make your boot more secure (and maybe faster.)

Help!!! Odin keeps showing 'fail'

So I downloaded the latest modem and boatloader but each time I try to flash it, I keep getting a fail on Odin, I even tried different cords and ports on my system but to no avail, I even raid flashing a stock ? lollipop rom but to no avail, funny thing is when I tried flashing c.f.autoroot it worked, could someone please help me out or suggest an alternative to this issue.
[Galaxy S 4 General] _Bon_Bon:
Did you use the Odin download linked in the OP? And do you have the proper usb drivers? You can get the drivers by installing (and uninstalling, if you don't use it) Kies, from samsung.

And could you please attach the whole output from Odin you get.

The best answer I can give you is "maybe." I don't use gps myself, so I don't have any experience on the matter and a quick google search didn't really help. Some sources say that it did help, others say that it has nothing to do with anything :P So try to make sense from that!

Lol of course not, I was following the instructions. Selected the bootloader zip to BL and the GSM and NON-HLOS zip to the CP. When that didn't work I unzipped the combined file, tried both time with bootloader at BL but same result. Stayed on OJ2
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kippy51:
Don't know where you get the zips from .. You should just use the tar-files. Don't unpack them! And power your phone down, don't use the re-start menu to get into download.
