Sorry, you will have to let someone with more experience handle that one.

--------------------------------------

Issue: When updating applications I get an issue with -110 error. I have tried numerous 'fixes' to no avail such as cache, relinking it all etc to no avail. If I install the applications and update without Link2SD installed it works fine. I have an EXT4 2GB partition (pro version so all four boxes ticked on linking to move private data) and initially apps install fine from a fresh ROM install however, once they need an update the -110 issue occurs and it is most likely with the links to the EXT4 and Link2SD because as I mentioned it does not do it when Link2SD is installed.

Any way around this? (The M12 Snapshot of CM11 for Moto E does not have app2sd configured on it yet this is not the issue is it?)

Has someone an answer for this? :crying:

I wish this app could move obb files. It's the one feature I'd like to see implemented. Is it being worked on ? If so, any best case ETA ?
[Android Apps and Games] FilippoMinutella:
Very nice!
[Android Apps and Games] magiaros:
i have successfully installed link2sd however i ,too,get the 110 error when updating apps.

my device is rooted with unlocked boot loader and CM11

i have a 20 gb secondary ext2 partition on a 64 gb sd card and everything is working perfectly until i update an app when i get the error

can anyone explain to me how i can backup this secondary ext2 partition?i have created with mini tool partition

i have installed evernote on the secondary partition and my notes are about 15 gb hence every time i get the error i need to uninstall the app and download again the notes.If i could backup the ext2 partition i wouldn't need to download evernote again.

thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] Synozix:
I unlinked my applications and was able to download the updates then relinked them (obviously if you unlink you will need the space on the normal internal side) to resolve the issue. However, I did also relink everything in the Link2SD options and remounted it so I am unsure which of those two fixed the issue for me.
[Android Apps and Games] magiaros:
i do not have 12 gb free on the internal storage.

i tried to unlink only the evernote.apk however it didn't work

i am going to update evernote every 3 months

any idea how to backup the ext2 partition?it can be seen on a windows pc or mac

minitool partition maybe can do this.
[Android Apps and Games] egingell:
Either way, you need room for the update in the normal place. The system installer does not follow symlinks nor do apps downloading their external data.

[Android Apps and Games] Technical:
I have changed my first ROM and formated the 2nd partition. I've reinstalled the apps that were moved to there but, now, I can't mount the partition anymore: Mount script error. Mount script can't be created. mount:mounting /dev/block/vold/179:66 on /data/sdext2 failed: invalid argument.

2nd partition was formated as f2fs and not ext4.

Can you help me? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
You need to make sure that the kernel you use support f2fs...if it doesn't support f2fs then use ext2 or ext3...

Sent from my SK17i
[Android Apps and Games] Technical:
Indeed. Alucard does support f2fs.

But I manage to solve this using AParted app to format the partition again (not via Windows) and then reenabling the links.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Technical:
I'm facing another issue that I'm not being able to manage.

Apps seem to be moving to 1st partition (or external sdcard itself) and not the 2nd partition (ext4).

My 2nd partition is only with few Mb and I'm moving ~100 apps to sdcard.

Is there any way to "disable" this behavior and got Link2SD working?
[Android Apps and Games] zzztidurvirus:
yep... most websites says dont go over 2gb... but hey... i have 4gb of ext3 now on my 32gb uhs-1 class 10 and its almost full (3.3gb of ext3 used)... can you even use ext4 if youre on [stock] Xperia Play (android 2.3.4)... okay, custom rom does allow ext4 to be used on gb roms. you can read this... http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/05/ext2-ext3-ext4/ About the size, you can make it even bigger... but the important things are in /data/data, so, say thanks to Link2SD Plus with the 4th option to tick.
[Android Apps and Games] Synozix:
Hi there,

When trying to update applications I receive a google error -110 when the application is linked via my ext4 2GB partition. If I unlink it then it updates. Obviously an issue as I have no space on the initial internal storage to update it. Any fix for this? Happens on multiple roms and even stock.

Thanks.

I've actually run into a similar issue. When updating a linked app, Link2sd crashes and the app gets moved back to internal storage while installing.

MOUNT SCRIPT ERROR

[Android Apps and Games] guest_2011:
Samsung S3 CM11, link2sd, samsung evo 64gb, SDFormatter, Mini Tool Partition Wizard, win8.1. Formatted 64gb 10gb ext2, 54gb fat32, both partitions primary. Link2sd was able to recognize ext2 partition and i testmoved one app. Seemed ok, no problems/errors. When connected phone to pc via usb cable, i could only see 7gb phone storage. I had to revert back to exFat formatted in SDFormatter and all is good like it used to be. I can access both phone internal storage and external sd card. When i try to use link2sd i get a message app2sd not supported by my device. because my device has a primary external storage emulated from the internal storage.

I though splitting external sd ext2/fat32 would give me access to internal phone storage, emulated external storage where i can install apps when phone's internal storage becomes limited, and the rest (54gb) is for media recording, downloads, etc., when connected to pc. Am i doing something wrong is it the only way app2sd works in 4.4.4?

Sort apps by actually occupied space

Hi all!

Is there a way to sort all user apps by space which them

actually

occupy on internal storage? I don't need detaliztion on dex/apk/data. For a first glance I need to know which apps are eating internal storage space, then I will think what to do with it. So, is it possible in some way?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] El Porcharo:
sure there is!
[Android Apps and Games] Kirrrr:
Thanks, but that is real Total = sum of all app files. ((

I talking about space occupied by app files only on internal storage which doesn't include files linked or moved to SD.
[Android Apps and Games] El Porcharo:
Not considering those ones marked Linked -> SD Card is not enough?

I'm afraid yours is a feature request! :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] Kirrrr:
This mark just states that some part of the app is linked to SD.

I just need a sort option "Total internal size".

I'm afraid too. :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] @atnfas_hoak:
Great work
[Android Apps and Games] Kirrrr:
Feature proposition

Well, here is my small feature proposition.

To add a couple of subtotals for Total size (a) parameter which can be shown in the app info and can be used for sorting:

- Internal size (b).

- External size (c).

- External moved size (d), i.e. via App2SD method.

- External linked size (e).

Where:

a = b + c = b + d + e

c = d + e

These subtotals can help to understand which apps consumes more space on corresponding storage partition.

Where can I place/send this proposition to give it a hope to be realized?
[Android Apps and Games] Holmes.Sherlock:
Does Link2SD latest version still rely on /system/etc/install-recovery.sh? Because, below is my install-recovery.sh which does not contain any reference to Link2SD.

#!/system/bin/sh

# If you're implementing this in a custom kernel/firmware,
# I suggest you use a different script name, and add a service
# to launch it from init.rc

# Launches SuperSU in daemon mode only on Android 4.3+.
# Nothing will happen on 4.2.x or older, unless SELinux+Enforcing.
# If you want to force loading the daemon, use "--daemon" instead

/system/xbin/daemonsu --auto-daemon &

# Some apps like to run stuff from this script as well, that will
# obviously break root - in your code, just search this file
# for "install-recovery-2.sh", and if present, write there instead.

When I link a new app to SD the others linked are erased, so only can have 1 linked app in SD. SD partition is 1GB size and I'm running CM12 (lollipop) for HTC Sensation. Any tip to solve this? :(
[Android Apps and Games] iFlasher:
For me too. The problem is caused by the new /data/app/app_folder/base.apk system introduced in lollipop. Link2sd now need to link the folders instead of the apk only because it overwrite the others base.apk linked before and the result is you can link just one app. This only happens on Lollipop and I hope the dev fix it soon.

Doubt - Moved to SD and then Link all files? or just internal to link2sd

I am using Xperia C rooted with Link2sd.

recently due to some issue i was mandated to factory reset my phone... post which i lost all my Apps and data...

I thought of installing it everything from scratch.. but just spent time in link2sd site faqs and tried recreating mount scripts ..

Voila.. i have got my Apps back... But Unluckily.... only part of them..

Since.. Intially i have moved some apps to native app to sd and then used this tool to move remaining files...

and for some of the apps used directly this tool to link to secondary partition...

My question.. is.... what is the correct procedure to link...

1. Internal to link2sd?

2. Move to SD and then link2sd?

Which method will give me more space left on my device and most important part is..

If i again factory reset unfortunately.... :( which type will give my apps back quickly?

Thanks in Advance..

Hope you people understand my question...
[Android Apps and Games] 5n00p3r:
You only can use one of them. But you shouldn't touch Move to SD. It's the native App to SD which was built in Ginger Bread (2.3.x) and was really crappy. Maybe it also wouldn't work on Android 4+.

Use ONLY Link2SD. This is, what the app was made for. ;)

[Android Apps and Games] jes0411:
Also it doesn't recognize dex files (like if apps doesn't have it) because they are on /data/dalvik-cache/arm/ on lollipop instead of /data/dalvik-cache/ so link2sd doesn't move it to second partition.
[Android Apps and Games] GusArb:
Any idea why is this happening to me? I already made a partition on my SD card and I have successfully linked the apps to it but when I try to move them I get this error.

Have a look at 2 posts above yours (#4716)

You mustn't use App2SD-Option on your device, which is built in Link2SD app. ONLY use Link2SD option!

Even on old Android 2.3.6 you only can use one of them at the same time.

hello, i use link2sd plus for a long time and it worked great.

unfoutrently something as gone worng as i created links and after reboot the links are gone altugh the second partation on the sd card i mounted correctly.

i used it with xposed framework and tries to use a scripit that will connec the download folder to sd, as i looked in this thred

it's seems that most likly this scripit is the fault of this.

can i move the data back to the internal partion so i will not need to install everything again?

S III Paranoid Android

Hi, Internet,

I recently installed Link2SD on my paranoid Android installation for my Samsung Galaxy S III (sprint). Everything was working fine until I rebooted and now all of my apps are nonexistent with the exception of the launcher shortcuts that do not work.

I have Link2SD Plus and I linked my data files. My SD card is 32GB in size and is parted like this -> 4GB Fat32 | 28 GB ext4

Paranoid Android 4.45 (stable) | Android equivalent 4.4.4

I have looked everywhere and I can't find a solution to this issue.

Thanks!

How does link2sd work (differently?) in Lollipop?

System apps are in individual folders? Do art-compiled dexes or whatever they will now be called go in these folders instead of /data/dalvik-cache or however this be renamed?

Do user apps install similarly, in individual folders now, same question... ?
[Android Apps and Games] .Ejekt:
I haven't been able to get Link2SD to function properly since moving to Lollipop. It seems that the app has trouble setting up the secondary partition and instead creates the necessary folders on the primary SD partition. I don't have an explanation for this, but it's the behavior I've noticed.

latest version of Link2SD app reports missing superuser permissions

Hi there,

since updating to version 3.7.2., Link2SD complains about not having root permission on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro (MK16i) running stock ICS (4.0.4).

I'm using SuperSU latest version (2.40) and everything went fine with older versions of Link2SD (before version 3.7.2). I've updated Link2SD to latest version (3.7.3) but, still, the app reports missing superuser permissions (even though I get on screen notifications by SuperSU for Link2SD being granted superuser access!).

I've enabled full logging for Link2SD app in SuperSU and it seems that problem arise due to (at least) the following errors:

1) "sh: <stdin>[1]: /data/data/com.buak.Link2SD/files/link2sd_b: cannot execute - Permission denied"

2) "sh: <stdin>[1]: /data/data/com.buak.Link2SD/files/deldex.sh: cannot execute - Permission denied"

3) "sh: <stdin>[1]: /data/data/com.buak.Link2SD/files/caac: cannot execute - Permission denied"

I checked for these files and "caac" does not exist in the specified path while the other two exist but there's a problem with permissions set on the files (execute flag, indeed, is not set at all).

Can you help me suggesting what to do next? Should I reinstall Link2SD app (hopefully I'm not going to lose linked apps, then, and I do not have to reformat/repartition my sdcard), can I fix the problem anyway or do I have to wait for a new version of the Link2SD app?

Thank you in advance for your help!
[Android Apps and Games] Devtaji:
After I moved the app data to SD card,I couldn't update any app. Whenever I updated an app, the installer would say "app not installed".

Also when I tried opening the app, it gave the same message "app not installed" .

In the app list in link2sd, the app details didn't show up.

If data is not linked to SD card, then the apps update fine.

question ? - sdcard filesystem - options

I use link2SD (its awesome) ! kudos for keeping development going.

I dont know if it matters to the APP but had a question and was wondering if the 1st partition can be ExFat or NTFS on 4.4.4 devices, i always do ext4 on the secondary. And in the past even setup a swap partition but from by new understanding the swap partition will never be used. Can anyone comment on any of this.
[Android Apps and Games] -Jonny-:
Link2SD uses 2nd position, so doesn't matter what you format 1st partition. 2nd must be ext# as Fat/NTFS can't link.

Swap is ROM based and doesn't impact on Link2SD (and visa-versa).

Mixed Mode?

My sdext2 is filling up. Just removed a lot of stuff just to install Google+, an example of the newer Google and other bloated apps.

My question is: Can I then symlink their dexes and data or are these now stuck on internal?

Yes, just click on Create Link and you can add symlink for dex and data, regardless of whether apk is linked or not

[Android Apps and Games] spocko:
That is not the fault of Link2SD. It sounds like your SD card just failed. I had a card that failed in the same way, i.e. it was readable but could not be written. You will probably need to replace your SD card.

mount: Operation not supported on transport endpoint

Hi! So, I am facing this too. It says "mount: Operation not supported on transport endpoint" while creating the mount script and so I can't really move forward on using sd-ext.

Xperia E3 dual (D2212), SuperSU, 16GB sd-card formated as:

first: 8GB Fat32 (primay)

second: 7GB ext2 (also primary)

third: left space, ext2 (also primary, who knows?) :)

If you provide a check-list of tests to try to find what's wrong I'll be happy to help.
[Android Apps and Games] Barleyman:
I have a "no such file or directory" problem here. I think the issue is partly due to Cube's chinese kernel wonkyness.

It does not seem to have modules for ext2 or at least mount fails with -t ext2 when the 2nd partition is formatted as ext2 with minitool. Cool.

However with ext4 partition and -t ext4 there's no problem. This works just fine:

root@U27GT-S:/ # mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2

Afterwards link2sd is happy too. But after a reboot, recreating mount script creates just same complaint about file and/or directory.

In any case, I just created

/system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh and put the mount command there, problem solved. Kind of.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Symlink alternative for high traffic data/cache?

and my sdcard similarly failed! Luckily, from recover, I could pull all the data to my desktop. Bought a new, larger, "ultra" (class-10?), sdcard. After some adventure with fdisk and finally AParted, got it formatted and up and running, pushed everything back on. Now the fun began.

The pull and push changes the dates of the apk's, creating conflict with their data. Had to restore or reinstall a bunch of apps and had to remove some of their, now dangling, symlinks to achieve that. After two days, phone is back to where it was.

Had the old card three years with never a hitch. Why did it fail now? Age, number of writes?

Here is the rub: Play services has 30+ meg of data and cache. Having too little internal storage, took advantage of Link2SD plus and symlinked this as well. Then, the troubles began. I have decided to return this to internal storage so I am "down" to 80meg free, can live with that almost.

How does a gluttonous app like this affect sdcards? Would it fare OK on the "ultra?" Is another symlink option in order for this, some browsers, etc., which may have high traffic? That /cache partition on NAND is virtually unused (Dalvik once fit there, no more, CM-roms can place system dalviks there). Could a future version of Link2SD Plus let me symlink higher-traffic data to /cache instead (and possibly warn me of apps not to symlink data to sdext)? (Is there another app around to take care of this safely?)
[Android Apps and Games] X-Flies:
I'm trying this app for the first time, it's really great!

I set the auto-link and choose install location as internal but when I install some apps from the play store it still install it to the sd card. Despite the install location I choose, it always installs it to SD card.

I tried to move them to phone and then link, but when the app is updated it's again instaled in sd card. After the update i have an app that is "on SD Card" and is also "Linked -> SD Card"...

Any solutions?
