so you are both aware the need to do a hot boot after a reboot has only been necessary on rare occasions.

To anyone that has encountered this issue, I have found the best 20 second fix, a) to let you know before opening the lockscreen whether ext is being read and b) how to instantly do hot reboot to make it all good.

I put an app that starts at boot and has a notifier or symbol in the status bar upon booting and loading, for me it is app called volumer, but many show up in status bar like swipepad and SB launcher as they both have status bar symbols that show upon start up.

After the animation ends and you go to lockscreen, you can still see statusbar, watch for the symbol of the app placed on ext, it should usually pop up before the rest of the sd mounts so you should see the sd card symbol and your tester style app up in the status bar, if the sd symbol disappears meaning it is now mounted and the symbol of your app is not up, open lockscreen.

On main home page I have a widget for hot reboot, and hit it upon unlocking screen and after a five second hot boot, the symbols should show up in status bar. And since it is a hot boot there is no additional wait for sd card to mount since it did on first boot, so in all it may take 20 seconds to go from ext not being properly acknowledged by package handler to everything up and perfect.

If that is the only issue and very rare at that, then it is certainly no deal breaker and 20 seconds to be able to use an indispensable app is a small price to pay, especially since bakpinar has he app out for all at the incredible price of free.

Stupid asinine fart apps cost more and I know, always looking for the next great fart app, as what better way to express one's complete lack of restraint and level of maturity and sense of humor.

Also if there are people that flash lots of different ROMS and find it is hard to get link to script for the ext, it may be the kernel.

So I have actually put all kernels that are very friendly and accepting to link app in a folder and try those first and so far they have all been working on all my ROMS.

Then after that, you can mess with other kernels and see how those take, just do a nandroid upon first set up with all link2sd items linked and everything is set and running smooth.

This way no need to go through an entire scripting process if you need to go back to kernel link app friendly nandroid.

Hope this helps and makes the rare not seeing that ext has mounted, just that much quicker/easier to solve.

not to mention the way bakpinar works this will probably be fixed in next version that will end up being released soon.

bakpinar's commitment to this apps improvement is how I wish all developers acted towards what they put out for public consumption.

in fact, bakpinar is it possible to create a link for donations? I would like to show some appreciation in more than just words, and I imagine many others would as well.

Though I have a 16gig sd, I still love this app as the things it allows that apps on sd or 2 sd or others like those, do not allow.

And I would like to think the people with 2gig and 4 gig cards are even more appreciative than I as you have created the ability for those to shatter what the limitations they had due to card size.

Just a thought, and this way you can keep the app free or not, but I like to give back to those that give, and bakpinar has truly given and I'd like him to experience some receiving even though that would never be able to equal the gains link2sd allows.

anyone agree re: donation link, pipe up so bakpinar sees that it isn't just me wanting to give back. and thus more likely he who has been selfless will at least know our wish to show thanks in more than just words.
