I think I kinda screwed up my phone...

I followed some tutorials cause I didn't fully understand how to use the app.

I've downloaded the latest version.

I partitioned my 2GB card in fat32 (around 900MB), ext2 (1024MB) and Linux something (32MB). After that I moved my apps to the card. After it was finished I rebooted my phone and all the apps were gone! Only the standard apps showed up in the main menu. When I startup a app on the homescreen it said the application wasn't installed on the phone. I rebooted my phone, without the card. The apps showed up only in the manage apps menu. I uninstalled all the downloaded apps with the exception of apps2sd. I rebooted the phone again, with the card now. Now it looks like my phone has some factory reset. I can't start apps2sd, even the market app doesn't startup properly.

Does anybody know how to fix this? And what I did wrong?

I 'backed up' the card before I did all this. I just copied all the files on the card to the pc, just in case.
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
First, try without reflashing:

put the app2card apk file on the sd card, start quickoffice. Quickoffice starts a file manager. Go to the sd card, and open the app2card apk file, install it.

Now app2card should start without a problem, and you can continue from there.

I had problems with version 2.7.9.1, and went back to 2.5.0. I think that they are not compatible with each other - when I restored a 2.5.0 backup with 2.7.9.1, I didn't see any app, but then when I put 2.5.0 back on, the apps appeared again. loglife_01 seems to have success with 2.7.8, which looks almost identical to 2.7.9.1

If all this fails, you can always reflash - look at the reflash guide.

Hello,

Has anyone had success with app2sd with the Motorola Charm. I rooted my phone and then installed the app2sd.apk. After I opened the app, it give me the option to partitioned my sdcard and then I rebooted the phone as instructed. But the apps continue to download in the internal memory. :confused: :(
[Flipout and Charm General] ksc2-303:
What do you mean with reflashing? I didn't flash my phone.

I just have a rooted phone.

I did a factory reset now, installed app2sd. Partitioned the card, hit the install button, restarted the phone. And all the standard shortcuts on the homescreen have some weird icon when I hit it, it says application not installed on your phone...

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I kinda give it up already. But would love it to use it. So if anybody can make me a step-by-step plan that even a 4 year old would understand.

I have a 2GB card.

Edit: I bought my phone in Taiwan and I'm useing it now in The Netherlands. I thought I had Motoblur, but it seems I don't. I don't know if it has something to do with it.
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
First, can you say if you have installed app2sd or app2card? I am only familiar with app2card.

And just a comment: when you play with things on your phone when you have root permission - for example installing app2card, and giving it root permission, "damage" to files on the phone can happen that can be fixed only by reflashing the phone. So, even though you haven't flashed the phone, sometime you'll have to reflash it (it is called "reflash", because the first flashing happened in the factory, and now you are reflashing it)
[Flipout and Charm General] ksc2-303:
I meant app2card, sorry about that.

So I have to reflash my phone first before I install the app now?

Another stupid question: how do I reflash?! I mean I saw a thread how to unbrand your phone. I almost did that to get rid of motoblur, until I realized I don't have motoblur. Is that what you mean with "reflash"?

BTW, thanks for your support
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
No reflash yet. Only if the following doesn't save you.

Turn off your phone. Take out the memory card, and connect it to a computer.

Put the apk of the same version of app2card as you were using before on the memory card, on the FAT partition (i.e. the one that you can see when you connect the card to a windows or osx machine)

(you can skip the first step if your sd card already contains the apk)

Now turn the phone on, and click on quickoffice. When it starts, you are in a file browser. Go to the "Memory Card", find the apk of app2card that you put there in the previos step, and open it to install it by simply clicking on it. This will fix app2card.

Now you should be able to start app2card. Start it,

If the tickmark in the top left corner shows that it is enabled, disable and reboot.

Start app2card again, click the tickmark that enables it to enable it, and reboot again. (so if app2card was enabled at the beginning, you reboot twice, and if it was disabled you reboot once)

Now you need to run the part of app2card called "fix FC errors". In my version, you click on "manage applications, and then in the menu that pops up 2nd from the bottom is fix FC. Select all user apps, and run fix FC.

If the market app still has problems, you can also run fix FC on it (it could be under system apps in the app2card menu), another thing that worked for me to fix the market is to go to the main settings of the phone-> applications -> manage applications. Click on menu, filter, and select "All". Then in the list, find Market, click on it, and click "uninstall updates", "clear cache", "clear defaults".

Once this finishes, if everything went well, app2card should be active, and you can now install applications from the market.
[Flipout and Charm General] kousik:
I had the same problem. com.android.vending will crash no matter what. Repeated 'fix FC' of app2card wouldn't help either. Finally what I did is to use a nuke, what I did is to "pm uninstall com.android.vending" using a root shell. Rebooted and it came up with old market, and then I restored the app from Titanium backup.

After this crash has stopped but it wouldn't download anything. Realized that gtalk is not working (it was hard to make the connection that market needs gtalk). Then I realized gtalk can't read my google account info. I couldn't fix it so used another nuke, deleted /data/system/accounts.db file. Next time fired gtalk it asked for google a/c info. Since then, all iz well.

i just joined this site a few seconds ago.

i'm a complete noob at this. ive been jailbreaking ipods and iphones for a while but that's not making this rooting stuff easy. i have the universal androot but i don't know how to install it since its not from a "trusted" source.

if i could install this apk so easy i wouldn't need to root it right? so i must be missing a simple 1st step.

any help is much appreciated
[Flipout and Charm General] Schallstoerer:
first you have to allow installing non-market apps in your settings!

then you put universalandroot.apk on your sdcard

go in the market and load easy installer or something similar.

open easy installer and choose universalandroot and easy installer will make it for you.

another way without easy installer is to send universalandroot.apk via e-mail on your own adress and check your mails with your flipout. then you can install it only by clicking the atached file!

hope it will help

bricked

so somehow app2card didn't really work for me this time (Ive gotten it to work before) and now my phone doesn't get past the motorola splash in the boot, and only sometimes does it get into stock recovery if I try that

anybody have any help for what I could do, I was using app2card 2.8.2 I belive, and I formatted the card then did a install apps to sd thing, it went to reboot, and now it doesn't boot at all. I talked to some of my friends and they said that the only way to get it back might be an sbf recovery and flash that with rsd lite, but I have the att version and I don't want to loose connectivity so I'm not sure what to do.
[Flipout and Charm General] a_rocklobster:
thanks for the attempt, i really appreciate it. att doesn't allow non market apps at all because there's no option (at least for my flipout).

i had to install the universalandroot.apk with the andriod debug bridge. now hopefully with super user i will be able to install apks from untrusted sources. if not, i'll have to keep using the adb through the command prompt.

thanks again though.

has anyone figured out another way to do app2sd?i seem to have boot loops and Fc's with this method.

App2card can't mount ext partition

Hi

I have an Orange UK flipout which has been debranded with the standard UK rom. I have rooted with universal androot and installed App2card. I formatted the microsd in windows using Easeus Partition master (standard 2g one as fat 16 one as ext2(tried ext3 as well). When I try app2card it fails to mount the ext partition. I am using version 2.9.3(only version I found on the site). I get incompatible kernel messages. Any ideas or a link to an earlier version to try ?
[Flipout and Charm General] spark9990:
Try link2sd - works great. google it.

You just need two partitions (keep them both fat).
[Flipout and Charm General] xevil87:
only a question: if we use link2sd to transfer ALL application in external sd, phone will worked without problem?
[Flipout and Charm General] breakingspell:
From what i've seen, you never want to transfer system apps to the SD, it has the possibility of bricking your phone. Link2SD works perfectly for me, in contrast to App2Card, which bricked my phone, forcing me to reflash it.
[Flipout and Charm General] AndiDeepBlue:
For me too.

i give up to use app2card. Link2sd works great and I never had problem with this. I use FAT16 as first partition.
[Flipout and Charm General] thekeiron:
Program for sd partitioning on flipout?

What did you use to partition your sd card? Link2sd can't find my ext partition, it says about having 2 fat partitions but i have no idea how to do it! I tried using theFlipout Recovery but that only partitions to ext!
[Flipout and Charm General] Geko90:
use minitool partition wizard... it worked for me...
[Flipout and Charm General] ohadbenita:
Thanks all for your comments

Can someone post a layman working tutorial on how to install applications starting from the partitioning part ?

Thanks in advance,

Don' use the application in this forum, its really easy to break the phone!!!!! Instead use links2sd its in the marker, its free, and it works perfectly and simply

guys pls help me

these are the things i did

1) i rooted my mobile

2)i used app2card for partition i hav 8gb card where i used fat32 for second partition(1gb)

3)rebooted the mobile

4)used link2sd and moved my apps to sd

5)worked fine for 2 days

6)now my mobile is switched off when i reboot motorola logo coming then android and again motorola screen flashing and so on

7)if i remove the sd card phone reboots properly but all apps are are gone and internal memary low

8)now i reset the factory data settings

can any one help me to partition the card properly...plsssssss
[Flipout and Charm General] nixonpjoshua:
I would partition the card using a desktop computer and then just use link2sd, easeus partition master (free edition) works perfectly for it, make two primary fat32 partitions, where the second one will house your apps, the first act as your sd card. There are a lot less problems this way (its what I do now and ussing app2card i bricked my flipout before). If you have any more questions and I didn't explain that well enough i'll be happy to answer them
[Flipout and Charm General] lovdanie:
thankss

k ill try it!!!!after using link2sd if i use mass storage mode for transfering songs via usb will it affect the applications?????
[Flipout and Charm General] qq446015875:
i think you can use link2sd . it's very easy and safe.

[Flipout and Charm General] lovdanie:
hi thats not a problem..just scroll through the link2sd u wil find fat 32 select it and mount it thats all

Flipout on Link2SD

After reading through most of the limited info on this, i have got the Flipout working on A2SD without a problem. Here are the steps I followed.

1. Used Androot to Root my device

2. Partitioned the card using MiniTool Partition Wizard - 1st Partition primary FAT 32 for my normal data and drive letter assigned, 2nd Partition FAT 32, Primary, 509MB

3. Installed Link2SD (can be found in the market check on the net since i am not allowed to post the url here)

4. Opened app and selected FAT32 as the partition type to mount.

5. Re-booted the phone.

6. Loaded Link2SD and linked ONLY the non-system apps (i.e. stuff that I had downloaded from the market). Now have 83MB free in the internal mem :cool:.

Phone works fine, no FC's.

Thought i will helpout anyone looking for this solution :).

Getting worried now.

I just unrevoked my Desire and put the latest radio onto the SD Card named update.zip

I used Rom Manager option to install ROM update and checked both the Wipe/Reset options..

My Desire is currently stuck on the screen with the White Warning Triangle and Yellow Exclamation mark, with the little Android.. for over an hour now.

Pulling the battery seems to be a complete no-no, but is over an hour wait normal ?

What do i do now...!?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaspx:
Nevermind, I took a deep breath and pressed a few of the buttons and the Clockwork Recovery screen popped up with an Authentication Error for the update.zip...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamlucal:
er .. i think you have to press vol up + power simultaneously for the recovery menu to show up while you're in that screen... though I'm not 100% sure if that's the combo for the desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaspx:
..and it all works!

Hacking phones gone 2am.. it's been a while! :D

Anyways, it's all working now. I decided to try the custom ROM update first which took just a few minutes, followed by another Recovery Reboot for the Radio ROM which took a few more minutes in the end.

I'm assuming the Signature Verification thing was something that is turn on/offable, because after trying the Custom ROM update first I then noticed in Clockwork Recovery that there is an option for having verification on or off.. but it was already set to off!

I'm sure in the myriad of HOWTO posts it's written in there, but believe me, during that hour and a half of waiting to see if i'd bricked my phone, I was reading just about every HOWTO that's been written!!

Anyways, knowing now how easy it actually is to unrEVOke, then apply custom ROMs/Radio I wish i'd done it sooner.. or at least started earlier in the day.

Hey, everyone,

I've got a prob with Smart Dialing on my CDMA Rhodium running a stock WM6.5 ROM. Okay, here we go...

Whenever I delete a call entry of a contact from the Call History, Smart Dialing no longer works for that name. If, however, I manually dial any of the contacts numbers, the call dialog displays the contact name, and from that point on, the entry's returned. Soft resetting does not return the contacts, only manual dialing.

It seems pretty random, but it's a real pain in the @$$. Has anyone had this problem, and if so... HEEELP!!
[Vibrant General] hospo:
I just rooted my phone (thank you xda for making it super easy!) however, now I'm a little freaked out about what I've done.

I basically rooted so that my phone is speedier. I have no idea, in the area of ROMs or customizing, what else rooting can do. I'm not asking for help in doing those things, because like I said, I just want my phone to be speedy.

But now I'm a tad worried (due to a "beware" response I received on another forum) that I've opened up a portal for someone to access my accounts, contacts, etc. through apps on the phone. Sorry if I sound like a complete idiot, but in this arena, I suppose I am!

I just want to make sure that having the Super User permissions that I didn't just open an security threat that I'm not equipped to deal with.

Thanks for any help or suggestions (even if your suggestion is to unroot). Like I said, please go easy on me...I have no idea what I'm doing, lol.
[Vibrant General] kboater:
i dont think rooting/superuser give any access to threats that you were not already exposed to.

someone please correct me if im wrong.

as far as what to do now with root, there is a sticky here in general with things to do with root. we are wating for Roms
[Vibrant General] rudeguy:
You are correct.

Ignore the ignorant.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
You have root = you have power. You control what your phone does. Don't download apps asking for permissions they should not need... you asked a good question so Im not worried about you being an idiot... just dont be stupid.

That said, take advantage of root. I put my suggestions in the sticky at the top.
[Vibrant General] hospo:
Thank you. I will be sure to read the sticky...

I don't think I'm an idiot, just not very savvy with Android. Yet.

I am very diligent as far as doing my research, but this is a tough subject as 1/2 the information I find says one thing, and the other 1/2 contradicts it. :(

I'm truly not ignorant, or at least I'm attempting not to be, as I have read up on this. I just don't know what to do with the conflicting information.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
root does not inherently open you to security threats.

but you said you 'rooted' to make the phone speedier, so did you just root, which has really no effect on speed or did you do a lag fix? the lag fixes won't cause a security problem, but from what i understand, ext2 will corrupt over time so that's not 'safe'. i think some of the lag fixes check for this, but there are so many now, i stopped keeping up on them.

if you just did root and remove some stock bloat, then don't worry. just actually read everything you do from the dev community and apps, and ask questions if you are unsure and you should be fine. definitely check out the sticky, though. lots of great stuff there.
[Vibrant General] hospo:
I did do the lag fix too, but I don't think it was the ext2 one. I could be wrong though (and probably am). I found it here, RyanZa's One Click Lag Fix APK.

So you think it's something I should uninstall now, or just be aware of the issues with it for the future? (Sorry, again, if that's a ridiculous question. I honestly just thought that was part of rooting.)
[Vibrant General] rudeguy:
I wasn't calling you ignorant at all. I was calling the people that were telling you that you would be open to your data being compromised. Root just gives you the control over your phone. Not others.
[Vibrant General] hospo:
I had a feeling it wasn't directed at me, I was just covering my bases in case it was, lol. :D
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
that's what i figured. that's what people were 'warning' about. there are a couple versions of the lag fix.

if it's this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=760267

then i think you'll be fine. i think as long as the one you are using runs e2fsck on boot, you should be fine.
[Vibrant General] MilkPudding:
Ya rooting(gaining root access) really has nothing much to do with making the phone speedy especially on Vibrant right now. An average user shouldn't even feel the need to root the phone.

The article that you have seen is most likely to clear the misconception of rooting is necessary for all Android phones.
[Vibrant General] hospo:
I used the one that the link ends in 760571 (sorry, since I'm a noob I'm not able to post links yet)

I think they are the same, just a different thread?
[Vibrant General] hospo:
I'm totally the average user but I knew I had to root to speed things up a bit with the lag fix. I would unroot and undo the lag fix, since I'm obviously in WAY over my head (lol), but I'm just as scared to do that as I was to root in the first place! :rolleyes:
