[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] n5dkj:
I don't know how typical my situation is, but I am having the same issue and thought i would attempt to provide a bit more in the way of detail.

My On5 is rooted with TWRP installed and functioning apparently normally. I can run apps that require root without issue, Titanium Backup for example. I have installed SuperSU and BusyBox which seem to behave normally, but Root Checker recognizes root and BusyBox but not SU Access.

When I try to use Link2SD, it doesn't recognize my second partition, and won't create a mount script. I can enter SU through terminal mode, and created /etc/fstab with mounting details for the second partition, but Link2SD still doesn't see it. Consequently, I can use the Move to SD function with some apps, but Link to SD is not functional.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] djmcho:
I would contact LINK2SD support and ask them if the app is even capable of handling multiple partitions. My guess is no.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] n5dkj:
Link2SD not only is capable of handling second partitions, it requires them for the Link to SD function. I followed their instructions carefully for creating an appropriately formatted second partition. The issue seems to be that the phone won't allow it to mount. That is why I posted here.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] djmcho:
Yes I am sorry, that is why I should post before I have coffee. I see you need an ext4 and a fat formatted... I got it to work. Here are my exact steps..

1. Down root essentials, LINK2SD from app store. Also must be rooted and have TWRP installed. I also suggest a full backup.. Then move the backup to your computer, free space on the phone... Don't leave the backup on the sdcard as it about to be partioned and formatted!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. If you already did this and tried adoptable let storage then use the 'revert changes' and reboot

3. Go into settings a d format sdcard as standard Portable Storage. Click cancel or no if it wants to move anything over.

4. Go into root essentials, storage tab and click adoptable storage

5. Follow procedures to download apk needed (the app will automatically load the web page).. Edit.. When used how much percent of the sdcard to use It's elected 50%.. I am using a 16gb card.. So I split it down the middle.

6. Power down phone

7. Hold down volume up+home+power until logo appears... Essentially go into twrp

8. Do a kernel (system) backup if you haven't yet recently.

9. Flash Apk which will automatically reboot phone

10. Not sure this is important but I waited for my phone to full boot... Paying particular attention to the Toast saying that room essentials has been granted full permissions....

10b... Do not go into storage settings and try to format the second part of the partition... It's already been formatted..

11. Went into LINK2SD, Settings... And pressed 'app location' got a weird warning about hierarchical something or whatnot.. Pressed it a few times and finally got the right screen. SELECTED EXTERNAL.

That was it... Now when I move apps with LINK2SD it seems like a ton of more free space is clearing on the internal... Before when I moved apps I think it was just moving the data..
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] cracker_jax:
I got it working temporarily but somehow it started making apps unusable and un-re-installable again. I'll do a factory reset and reroot (I think I just have to sideload SU) and try your step by step this weekend.

The other possibility is the apps that come with the phone are so big they don't fit in the 8gb that comes with it. Every time a Google app gets an update I lose more space and I cannot move those apps to my knowledge. Its getting harder and harder. With this method do I get true adoptable storage? As in all apps and data share the space?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] djmcho:
Most apps are under 100MB.. Even if they download extra data there is no way any one particular app is over 8GB...

Try this...

Sort the LINK2SD app list by 'size internal'

Uninstall the top 3-4 apps that take the most space

Move any system apps you moved to the sdcard back to internal

Clear the app cache and dalvik caches

Reboot

Reformat sdcard

Reboot

Then try my steps to get adoptable storage...

Report back if you can

PS I heard rebooting after you move the apps to SD seems to also fix the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] cracker_jax:
I did the instructions to get adoptable storage and it appeared to work (adoptable worked anyway) but Link2SD has no functionality with moving anything anywhere. The card is not formatted correctly for Link2SD. The main (SD) partition is receiving apps (migrate to SD built into Android) but very few and the internal storage fills up quickly. Basically the apps that work via App2SD were able to be migrated with the migrate button in Settings > Storage. I'd consider formatting the SD card's second partition so Link2SD could work on it again but I know already that it won't work with the "data" of the apps, even with Link2SD plus. I had limited success with FolderMount but that is a pain and I'm not sure it worked at all. Having data exist in two places seems to confuse my phone. Adoptable storage seems to be dead with most apps refusing to use it and Link2SD seems to be dead as it won't move most of my data without breaking the app.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] djmcho:
App have to be enabled by the developer to move the data with the app, Dex etc.. For example Waze is... Here is my files list view from links2sd about Waze... As you can see everything Def moved over to the adoptable storage.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] djmcho:
Continuing...

Where as chrome is not set by the developer to allow moving stuff like data over to SDcard. See attached... You will see some is on the phone and some is onbthe sdcard. If you want to move data over to the sdcard for apps that are not designed to do so you could purchase the pro version of Link2SD that allows for the forcing of data by creating linking. You might be able to do it for free using terminal emulator and the Linux linking command, which escapes me right now..
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] cracker_jax:
My problem with the Plus version of Link2SD, which I purchased, is that whenever I liked the data portion (IIRC) the newly moved app would immediately force-quit when opening after that. So I would move the data back. It would still force-quit. So I would uninstall and reinstall. It would still force-quit. Sooooo if and when I used that function it completely broke the app until I did a factory reset.

Now, Link2SD plus has nothing to do with adoptable storage as I was able to move apk and data over simply by getting the correct formatting on my SD card, though I don't remember the correct combination of ext2,3,4 partitions that made it work. What I do remember is after that I would only ruin apps by moving the data. Now, with adoptable storage, Link2SD cannot use the card at all though I haven't tried reformatting the second partition as an ext2,3,4,whatever.

Maybe go back to trying to get support from Link2SD developer?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] n5dkj:
Excellent!! I just got time to try it, and I now have much more available space. Thanks for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] strykyn:
no dice for me. pretty sure i did ALL u said. when it comes to lin2sd...nothing seems to work. have paid version.

after following your steps, i get a notification telling me "new sd card inserted". the choices are use as "portable" or "adoptable" adoptable reformats, so i chose the former.

i selected "sdcard" under root essentials "install app location".

ANYTHING with link2sd gives me errors, or does nothing. "cannot create mount script"..or "location does not exist" (as per your {settings} instructions)

tried several times...help??

edit-this is all done on COMPLETELY stock rom, immediatly after ODIN/Initial Phone-Setup
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] djmcho:
Seems people who paid for Link2SD are the ones having the problem.. It's probably the days directory move that the paid version gives you but seems the apps can't handle that. Try removing the paid status and try again..

As for the sdcard.. Don't ever format it. Just leave it the way root essentials leave it..

Do me a favor... I want to help you guys debugging this....

Format the sdcard with the os

Remove the sdcard and reinsert it.

Check under settings /storage that the card is 100 portable.

Reboot

Run the adoptable storage wizard for internal storage... Reapply the zip Install for internal storage

After it forces the reboot, DO NOT ANSWER ANY NOTIFICATIONS TO FORMAT SDCARD OR ANYTHING.. HIT CANCEL

then take screen shot of your storage settings and post it...???
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] strykyn:
ok. np. gotta give some serious time tho...just added my music back (50GB) and transfer speed vs lollipop are way worse. but im on it!

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

kaay. so far...CANNOT get 100% portable. sfter OS format...640kb used...after rebooting...1.27 MB used. having root essentials installed prior to this probably the reason. seems to be transferring at reboot. now im TWRP back to factory stock. will begin your last request from there..
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] djmcho:
Run root essentials and click REVERT... Report finding plz:good:

Oh then format thru OS, maybe reboot after reverting
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] strykyn:
alright. your EXECT instruction.Sir...

starting with Stock Firmware! only TWRP/ROOT.

download RootEssentials/Link2SD.

format SD. 640 KB "used".

remove/reinsert: now i.85 MB "used". (continued anyway..no way around this..)

ran adoptable storage, downloaded zip, installed zip, rebooted, ran adoptable storage wizard- chose 15%, let it reboot.

STRAIGHT to settings/storage....heres your screeny....

nvermind 1st screeny.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] djmcho:
OK clear the data and cache for Link2SD, see if thay removes your pro/paid status.. I'd jot, Uninstall Link2SD and reinstall it NOT activating paid status.

Download Waze MD try to move2sd by long pressing Waze Nd selecting move to SD card.

Report results. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] strykyn:
link2sd isa a new install..never opend. so leave it n try the "waze md"??

where do i find WAZE MD? dont show in store...

all i get is that its some sort of "gps/maps/directions" thingie...
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] djmcho:
Waze maps, that's it. It's only temp.. Waze is package and compiled to allow sdcard migration
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] strykyn:
ok....

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

where am i supposed to long-press it?? log pressing icon only moves it to desktop. opening the app i have to give country, it seems to wanna hold a conversation.

long pressing it in settings does nothing, just pressing it in settings says "uninstall/force stop?'

alright..im gettn rid of this. theres plenty OTHER apps i can try stuff like this one with.....dont make sense

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

ok. looking inthe ROOT ESSENTIALS app i think i COULD do what you asked..but it appears to be ALREADY on external sd...
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] djmcho:
In LINK2SD, not root essentials. We are done with root essentialz. PS.. The 'App install location' setting is also in link2sd, not root essentials.

The long press on Waze is done in link2sd
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] strykyn:
i will reinstall it and try it. BUT..as i play with this....apps are being installed AUTOMATICALLY to anywhere i specify in root essentials. if i choose "auto"...non-system essential apps like rocket player AUTOMATICALLY goes to "externalsd" titanium backup went to "internal". BUT..if i specified SD..it goes there. THAT part of it (app install) seems to be JUST FINE. i guess to save MORE space link2sd could create links...but that isnt possible as it wont create a mount script. or am i missing something??

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

yeah...like i said. i reinstalled "waze"...went to link2sd..but its ALREADY on external.....thats seems to be being handled by the "install location" set in root essentials...
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] djmcho:
Interesting.. So the the problem is that if apps are not packaged to allow alternative folders you are fubard unless you write your own mounting scripts in fstab
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] strykyn:
i guess. you just super-passed my knowlege man. all i can say is...root essentials (when set to auto) is placing apps where they "should be" according to me anyway. ie-titanium backup went to internal: root exlorer went to external, and functions totally fine (moving stuff, permissions, etc). system apps are on internal. BUT, if you go to root essentials/app management/select an app, then click "tools"..you can manually move it. more steps vs link2sd, and im sure link2sd can "move" more (library filwes/dex..blah blah....but im still saving ALOT of internal space. i really appreciate your time n effort....so u know..im ALWAYS willing to test. not possible for me to hardbrick this puppie....

Apps2SD Pro worked fine for me. I used Mini Tool Partition to partition my sdcard, making both my 1st partition (Storage: FAT32) and 2nd (Apps: EXT4) marked as primary. Inserted my card into the phone and used Apps2SD to create mount script for 2nd part and I'm able to link apps and their data to the card.

I never was able to get Link2SD Plus to work for ?

I created a second partion and then link2sd currupted my sd card. Any way too fix an sdcard once it is labeled *bad disk"?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] djmcho:
Pop it in a computer and wipe all the partitions with Computer Manager / Disk manager and reformat.. I'm guessing. Be careful with disk manager. Make sure you are wiping the right partitions.

Hola!. Bien soy nuevo en XDA, Pero viejo usuario de Android. Necesito ayuda en la cocina de kernels android en la que soy novato. mi problema comenzó cuando conseguí una rom CyanogenMod 10 Android 4.2.2 con bugs. Los cuales son:

*Sonido por altavoz y auriculares no funciona.

*Camara no funciona

*Bluetooth no funciona

*Micrófono no funciona

*Botónes Power y Home invertidos

Como la rom quedó bien cocinada y el problema es "corregible" decidí intentar arreglarla por mi cuenta, investigué mucho y hasta donde entendí el problema radica en el kernel, en los drivers específicamente, ya que dicho kernel es de otro dispositivo con un hardware similar a mi huawei cm980 pero no es exactamente el mismo, Es un Huawei C8651 hasta donde sé. Bueno renuente a volver a Gingerbread, desempaqué ambos kernels (Original del ROM Stock) y el que traía la rom CyanogenMod y resulta que son la misma versión de kernel (2.6.35.7-perf) pero modificado. Mirando los archivos me dí cuenta que entré a área de expertos pues el init.rc al igual que otros archivos es programación pura. Entonces que quiero?? Pues quiero extraer los drivers del Kernel Stock y instalarlos en el Kernel modificado para que pueda funcionar lo ya mencionado, o al menos el audio y micrófono que es muy necesario. Me tomé la molestia de desempaquetar los Kernels y los subo tal cual desempaqué. Espero me puedan ayudar.

[Off-topic] M_T_M:
They claim that their "maximum non official" allowed is 100GBs per month but since a lot of us are on a month to month basis ,with a grandfathered unlimited data plan, there will be nothing from stopping them to either cancel our plans at any time or force you to one of their current data plans.

I've been also told that it may be set to a maximum of 50 GBs per month but the person telling me could've been just messing with me. Either way...I may jump ship as sooner than later...not sure where but soon.
