X10i - Link2SD

Great and fast update. Working like it should now. Perfect app for a 2.1 user. Many Thanks:D

X10i-stock rom-rooted-jit-Xrecovery and finally..........Link2SD
[Android Apps and Games] bakpinar:
Both partition should be primary.

Yes, second partition is used for application files (.apk and .dex files).
[Android Apps and Games] bakpinar:
Try with the version 1.5.0.
[Android Apps and Games] bakpinar:
Convert the file system of your second partition from ext2 to FAT32 (i.e. reformat as FAT32) and try with the version 1.5.0.
[Android Apps and Games] weslyr:
I would love to use link2sd but have a hard time getting to this next step.

Everytime i start the program i get the error message saying: "second partition not found'.

But my memorycard looks correct in minitool partition wizard and i have root:

I tried ext3, ext2, fat32, without succes.

Maybe it is because i'm using latest cyanogen 7 on my HTC legend? Which one is not supported (yet)?
[Android Apps and Games] bakpinar:
Did you reboot your phone after partition stuff?

Can you send me the output of the following commands.

ls -l /dev/block/vold

[Android Apps and Games] Mioze7Ae:
Great job bakpinar! Perhaps I'll ask the obvious question that the FAT support in 1.5 implies: why require a second partition at all? Is it possible to just use a folder on the first SD partition and leave ext mode as an optional/advanced feature for power users?
[Android Apps and Games] Hung Ming Hsieh:
After i install new version 1.5

,when i uninstall market app,it will show a wrong message about ext2 everytime,

Dear bkjart, can you solve this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] ChungHung.Chen:
Dear Bakpinar,

After upgrade to 1.5.0, when I upgrade app from market, I've always got a "Link2SD: Link create fail" message.

But the app which upgraded is not a linked app, it's in internal storage.

Is any background action by Link2SD to monitor market action?

BR,

Chung-Hung
[Android Apps and Games] Kierrok:
Happens the same here. Also now, when uninstalling a non linked app I get a "Link2SD cannot remove..." something message.

The dex files still aren't relinked after updating a linked app. This happens every time. I'm now with Froyo 2.2.2.

Anyway, thanks for the new version and for adding the features I requested. I have a new request, already requested before: Please let us link the updated system apps that are in /data/apps. They are not critical for the terminal functioning because older versions exist in /system/apps. They are the gmail, youtube, facebook, google maps, etc... apps.
[Android Apps and Games] CodeFan:
looks good
[Android Apps and Games] doctor-who:
You mean if you change sd card? Then you will must to restore all apps from starts. All linked apps are on 2nd partition of sd card and when you change sd all that gone. I think you already know that and I didn't understood you well
[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
No need....just make nandroid backup first...on his new sdcard just make ext partitions and then copy the nandroid backup to the new sdcard...reboot into recovery and do restore backup/advanced restore/restore sd-ext only...all install apps should be restore by then...he just only need to re-created the mounts scripts...
[Android Apps and Games] hello_world.c:
Yep, didn't help and had to completely wipe and rebuild my device. This is way too dangerous for me to use. Pity.
[Android Apps and Games] doctor-who:
I always delete 2nd partition after flash new rom and create it again with aparted app. Because I don't trust to cwm seems while formating sd-ext there is something messed up

and suppose my apk is instagram than i try to re-link apk or lib files.. nothing happens.. and when i go to clean 2nd partition it shows instagram files... that means files are still in 2nd partition, my be something happened in linking... dont know what..

only option with me is to clean 2nd partition .. reinstall from google play..:silly:

This happenes to me every day.. some time with wahtsapp.. or other.. ( i removed link from main apk .. whatsapp.. esfile expolrer.. etc ..)

Help to move apps to SD for Kitkat

Please can anyone tell me how to move apps in 4.4 kitkat to SD card I used Motorolla XT907..
[Android Apps and Games] pckarma112:
Yes, please let us know if it works for you. I had already tried this once. But that was a few months back. When I used tb to reinstall backup. I got a error from tb saying backup did not exist? Yet it did show it. It only comes up when you try to restore. Its as if the backup itself was corrupted. Very strange. If it works for you. I might try this thing again. Might....
[Android Apps and Games] kiridhruv:
hmmm

I got many files disappeared like this... and backup file are okay in TB , but restoring doesnt process ( may be cause link2SD has moved all files to ext2SD) ... so what i do is restore full apk+ data ( and delete the 2nd partition junk files ).

also, you know latest version of Link@SD says.. like this.."- fixed a bug which caused the linked apps disappear after reboot on some devices **

** if you have this issue run "Recreate mount scripts" and reboot

- some fixes and optimizations["
[Android Apps and Games] pckarma112:
Havexto think about that one. This is even more strange. In tb if I tried to restore apk only. Sometimes it would work. But never with plus data. Seems like a lot of work arounds(work) to get the right results. If it ever gets back to just working right without all the extra recreate and reboot. I might trust again. Thanks for info though. Appreciate it.
[Android Apps and Games] kiridhruv:
okay

:good:

Really, Restoring the APK that have Linked with Link2SD and disappeared,dosent work (i am using Titanium pro) , u will need to re-install them after deleting 2nd partiton junk.

. but the recreate and reboot will work , and that solves all problem.. and remember if you think .. someone helped u.. click THANKS button :D
[Android Apps and Games] hello_world.c:
No, it doesn't always work. Never did for me under CM11/kk4.4.4.

linked apps on link2sd disappears after reboot

I have 32 gb kingston class 10 sdcard on which I have 4.5 gb ext3 partition .I have xperia c, jellybean OS

Now I have Google chrome lost and some other apps. It happened before but after recreating Mount script and rebooting

It helped, but now it doesn't work, any suggestion? Maybe should I have formatted it to ext4 or f2fs?

I found a script that perhaps fixes it somewhere I don't remember. so, any idea?

Thanks in advance

[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmmmmmm....

1. Make sure that the kernel you use support ext4 first...if not supported then re-partition and change ext4 to ext2

2. Both partition (FAT32 and ext) need to be set as primary...
[Android Apps and Games] hello_world.c:
If it is an app from Play Store, I can reinstall and it then is back with the previous data, so it is only an inconvenience.

If it is a side loaded app, I became dead in the water. The system doesn't allow to reinstall from apk - wrong "out of memory" error and since Titanium Backup doesn't work either, nor any of the other million things I tried, I ended up wiping the device and reinstalling everything.

Yes, it's that bad.

Solution : DONT restart :p

if u gonna re-start ( remove link from those app which are most wanted for you... )

====================

i got interesting thing lol... i was much relieved , like Link2SD is back for me atleast now..

one app named " FLUD torrent " was disappeared .. when i tried to click it in from go launcher app drawer it was not there... so i tried restoring it from Titanium backup... and i Restored only APP , not APP + DATA ;

And it was back again... wuhuuu.... i am sure if i have restored both app and data.. it was hung up on the screen " restoring..."

No data access/storage on the external SD

Please help,

If it's explained somewhere already please redirect me but I couldn't find it.

I had Link2SD installed on my XCover2 on stock ROM and installed it again after upgrading to CM 10.2. Partition formatted as described and as it was before (ext4+fat32 both primary) and it mounted without problems. But before CM 10.2 after linking apps to SD I could actually see the app folder and data on the SD external memory, I could copy/move files. Now they are not there. They are put into some emulated storage place or somwhere that I can see only through my root browser. What's the idea behind it I don't understand. The storage for apps that require a lot of space for offline maps, like Sygic sat nav, is not moved to external SD after doing link2SD. Before it was, I had all apps "linked2SD" visible on my external SD. Now I can link2SD all installed apps but by SD card remains empty. The only exception are the apps where you can specify the storage folder manually (camera, Locus) then they will use data from extSD.

I have linked almost all installed apps to SD but when I connect the phone to my PC the internal memory is almost full and the external is almost empty.

When I go to Storage Info in Link2SD I can see: Internal (/data) 12% free, SD card (/storage/emulated/0) 12% free, Ext. SD (/storage/sdcard1) 80%free, 2nd Card 2nd Part (/data/sdext2) 62% free, System (/system) 72% free, Cache (/cache) 89% free.

Checked with this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1432459 but can't find a solution to my problem.

What am I missing guys?
[Android Apps and Games] kiridhruv:
May BE

Please tell me in that you have clicked.... "Create link" or "Move to SD" , because if you have clicked "Create Link" than you can see "Linked -> SD card" Label, that means it will be linked to ext4 partition..... and i think you have done that.. and SO you cant see them in FAT32 partition ( when you connect to PC you can see FAT32 partition).

Simply stating.... you may have moved data(linked) to ext4 parition of SD card, and hence you cant see them when connected to PC
[Android Apps and Games] lagusz:
Yes, all are linked not moved. It doesn't even allow me to move saying "app2sd is not supported by your device. because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. you can link....". It sound logical what you say but 1- why on stock ROM before I could see data on the FAT partition even though I was "linking" not "moving" as well and partitions were configured the same 2 - why my internal memory is full when everything is linked???
[Android Apps and Games] kiridhruv:

Hi developer!

I use lg l40 dual as my phone and have been rooted recently.

Also I have part my 4gb sdcard into 2 storage.

The first is primary, fat32, 2.5gb.

The second is primary, ext2, 1gb, cluster 4kb.

And the rest I create primary, linux swap partition.

When I try to move my app with this app it says that "App2SD is not supported by your device

. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from internal storage... "

I cant move app 2 sd.. How to deal with it bro?

Folder mount for MOVING big files ( i use for BIG apk also.)

and link2sd (click create Link option only.)

:cool: Enjoy...
[Android Apps and Games] lagusz:
That's what the message looks like. I guess App2SD is a synonym to "moving". Link2SD app uses App2SD phrase as a synonym for moving the app, not linking it.

I've restarted the phone many times.
[Android Apps and Games] kiridhruv:
i never got this problem,

--i clear you one thing after looking at your reply.. i HAVE NOT used moving in link2SD ( so never got moving error) , i used CREATE LINK and no problem so far.

.

i have googled much and have seen problems in which people said "no change in internal memory " and solution was like to refresh the link2SD and re-boot or wait and wait...(BEFORE link2sd i was having 600 mb internal memory free and less apps, now many apps and still 1.3gb free)...

Back up second-partition data

Anyone help me please how to back-up second-partition data. Currently I'am using a 16GB sdcard, and allocate 2gb for second partition. I need more space for storage, and consider to buy a new 32gb sdcard. My question is how to back-up second-partition data from old SD card to old sdcard's second-partition ?

Any helps are appreciated ...
[Android Apps and Games] kiridhruv:
Simple

Use a windows app like partition wizard or Mini Tool partition wizard ( you need these apps because your PC will detect FAT32 parition not the other ext2 partition)

it's free just Google it. Use an adapter for one card, put the new one in your phone and connect to your pc. There's a function to copy a partition, use that.:good:

[Android Apps and Games] jayachar88:
Not sure, but maybe Link2SD (normal, not plus) and "insufficient storage"

Initially I started with a situation where I was already frequently encountering "Insufficient storage" problem, while trying to install apps. This was before Link2SD was installed. I could remove some of the existing apps, and make space for new ones. This worked quite predictably. However, I was hitting a point where I didn't want to remove apps (since I was using them), and could install no more. The NAND flash of the device (Xolo Q700), is 4GB, but around 2.3GB is available initially.

At this point, I adopted Link2SD. Rooted the phone, and followed the officially recommended procedure and set it up. Prior to that, I had removed many large apps, freeing up significant amount of space. After installing Link2SD, reinstalled some of the apps I wanted, and those got moved to SD automatically, and all was fine for a while. After a while I started seeing the "Insufficient storage" problem yet again. So I started removing some of the apps, to free up storage. However, I noticed that even after removing some large games, and freeing up a lot of storage, I still cannot install any new apps... even apps as small as 20-30KB.

It is now at a point that I cannot install anything at all. Please help correct this issue. I am sure that the problem has something to do with some misconfiguration or some bug somewhere, because I have used multiple tools (already installed) to clean up SD card, clean up storage, check the storage free space etc.

Internal storage has 1.5GB marked as available, 0.91GB used by apps (data & media), 73MB of Pics, Video, 220KB of audio, 1.34MB of downloads, 11MB of Cached data, and 162MB of Misc.

I used link2sd almost flawlessly for over a year on my Samsung Galaxy Ace, but now since I've changed my phone to Sony Xperia SP, I am unable to mount the same SD card partition. The phone has been properly rooted, USB debugging has been enabled. I confirmed with the partition tool that it is an 'ext2' partition. Every time I launch link2sd, I'm asked to select the partition.

Hi I can't get link2sd working with my p6800.

I've tried partitioning my card with minitool partition wizard and aparted however I ended up with same results, I've tried using both ext2 and fat partitions. In link2sd when I select the file system of my second partition I get an error saying mount failed, invalid argument. When I've tried to mount my second partition manually using terminal emulator I've got the same error. However if I build a file system of the second partition using terminal emulator and either mkfs or mkfs.vfat commands the partition can be mounted and link2sd works.

The problem is that when I reboot the device, after reboot the second partition on the sdcard is no longer recognized and I get the same invalid argument error when trying to mount it. Using mkfs again allows to mount the partition but erases all the data.

[Android Apps and Games] AlienX94:
Ok guys so i have a weird problem:

Link2sd recognises and mounts my second partition, it is even visible in es file explorer as partition, but apps i moved there dissappeared. I checked that no files were copied to mounted /data/sdext2 indeed. I managed to figure out, that if that second partition is not mounted (e.g. microsd not in phone) APP FILES ARE ACTUALLY PRESENT IN /data/sdext2 FOLDER! Tried to make some files with es file explorer in /data/sdext2 when partition is mounted, it says that it actually created the file, but guess what: no change is visible, and again, files are present in non-mounted /data/sdext2 folder. Tried different partition types, recreating mount script, and reinstalling link2sd - nothing worked. It sems to me like some weird mounting problem - looks like its mounted for read, but for write whole mount is somehow bypassed (WTF?). Can anyone help me with this?
[Android Apps and Games] hello_world.c:
You're on KitKat? I had the exact same issue. What helped was for PlayStore apps, reinstalling would restore the apps, and the data would still be there. But for non-PlayStore apps there was no recourse since reinstalling the apk would only give me an out of memory error, so dead in the water as far as those apps are concerned. I've really tried everything but had to wipe my device in the end. I have given up on Link2SD for now, not worth that amount of hassle.
[Android Apps and Games] AlienX94:
Yup, kitkat indeed. I dont care for apps i moved, cause it was nothing important. ATM I just want to know what is going on with this weird mounting, mostly because I'm curious :)
