New "external data" ??

Some apps, i.e. Maps have ext data and ext cache.

Where is this stored be default?

I linked the Maps ext items to 2nd partition; would 1st vfat be better or worse)?

Operation showed error and ext items no longer visible. Took a hint and rebooted.

First off, got notification "all directories bound" (or something like that). Never saw this before. Is this OK?

App now shows Maps ext items symlinked.

EDIT: Successfully moved a few others without error. Note that I have an older phone, has only the sdcard I put in, no "internal" sdcard.

As previously suggested, apps such as some browsers and Play Services?? write a lot of data to their caches. This might not be good for the sdcard (I now have an "ultra" type 10--ok?) There is a virtually unused /cache partition on nand memory. Propose option to make use of it.
[Android Apps and Games] Verrocio:
ok it seems the mount script issue was fixed in 4.0.2 but now i too cant move anything. I'm getting the following error trying to move any app.

"app.name: cannot create/data/sdext2/data/app.name.so: directory nonexistent" :(

what am i doing wrong ?

I'm having the same issue how did you fix it ?
[Android Apps and Games] doctor-who:
have u guys checked is ur 2nd partition corrupded or read only? download disk info from playstore and check it
[Android Apps and Games] Verrocio:
yea i checked it and it does say read only. :(

Is there a way to fix this IN Link2SD ? Why is this happening ? I'm formatting with clockworkmod 5. Everything should be working correctly right ?

By the way i should also mention there is nothing wrong with the hardware at all. I tried this on two other devices with two more cards with the same setup and android version and got the same thing.

:)

EDIT: Some preliminary optimism. I switched to TWRP (latest version for my device) and things seem to be working a little smoother now. I still need to do a LOT of testing here but i think i might be out of the woods. I will update further tomorrow when i get a chance :)

Thanks everyone !

EDIT: Evening update.

ok so heres the final word on the matter.

TWRP 's way of formatting sd-ext seems to be better however i've noticed some issues with TWRP which could be a downside.

1. ) I can't flash IntersectRavens kernel from it.

This leads me to believe that it will also have issues flashing other kernels from it as well. :(

2.) It doesn't have a wipe /boot option.

Normally and 99% of the time i wouldn't be worried about this. But since its a HTC device the ability to wipe boot comes in handy sometimes.

3.) Its all touch or nothing.

This could be a killer if i ever break the screen on the device.

Some advantages to this however are.

- Encrypted backups

- Easy touch interface

- May work with cyandelta

- Later update

- Parts are open and less invasive

And i'm sure there are more advantages as well. I would also explore the option of using 4EXT recovery but i'm still trying to figure out if i need S-OFF or just a unlocked bootloader to use it.
[Android Apps and Games] doctor-who:
when 2nd partition became read only there is no some good solution only to format it agen... that is not fault of link2sd, have many reasons for that u can see on wikipedia.. i had used once 2nd partition over half year without problems but sometimes it became read only after few days, weeks of use.
[Android Apps and Games] Verrocio:
ok I'm having trouble understanding you. But from what i gather you are not telling me anything i don't know.

I'll give you a A for effort though. Anyways. I was able to find a temporary workaround for the issue by using Recovery Tools (rashr) 1.3.5

Basically i'm using recovery tools to switch back and forth between clockworkmod 5.0.0.2 and Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) 2.6.0 when i need to.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] Technical:
I'm not being able to find the option for OBB files (generally in sdcard) to be moved to the 2nd partition (since v4 if I'm not wrong).

Where is this option? Thanks.

Hello!

It seems that link2sd is preventing my phone to go into deep sleep mode. Usually i idle at 0/0,5 % battery consumption every 3 hour, since yesterday when i installed link2sd this went to 5%/8% every 3 hour in idle.

Wakelock detector don't show any strange wakelock nor wakeup trigger, but it shows that since last charge (exactlty when i installed link2sd) my phone never went into deep sleep.

The app is really useful, but the battery drain is a little bit too much for me. Is this expected or is a problem that only i have? Are there solutions out there?

Thanks

Hello [MENTION=3258861]bakpinar[/MENTION]

I found a bug using link2sd 4.0.6 free in Xperia L CM12 with ext4 filesystem.

After reboot linked app disappear, I need to open link2sd and doing soft reboot to make linked app appear again.

Here's the log http://pastebin.com/SADD6kDp

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] optimusodd:
Probably,that's a bug.The "NoClassDefFoundError" indicates that the classloader, which is responsible for dynamically loading classes, cannot find the .class file for the class.That shows that classpath option was not set when executing the code.

You can find the previous working version here.

Hope this helps!!!:)

2nd Partition Optional

I still have a bit of confusion. Since version 4.0 Plus says "2nd partition is optional, folders can be moved...".

Does this mean that after a second partition is created, folders from the Link2SD second partition can be moved to the first partition, even with linking external data to a SDCard Fat/32 partition? I just removed a Link2Sd partition to attempt using one partition but I can't create mount script or link apps. So if I create a 2nd, small, Link2SD partition, create mounts scripts and reboot then I'll be able to move files from the second Link2SD partition to the first SD card partition AND link eternal data even on FAT/32 partitions?
[Android Apps and Games] nilanko:
I'm on lollipop 5.0.2 using Link2SD v4.0.6 (latest) from the playstore. Many linked apps don't work at all. I have a second partition ext4 and I have to soft reboot after every hard reboot to make linked apps appear-- I learned to live with that but now half of the linked apps aren't even working. The apps complain about missing library or say "Unfortunately stopped...." or say the app isn't properly installed. Please uninstall and re-install the app. For example, take Google Chrome. If you have it on internal memory and then you link it, it simply won't work. Same is with Google Drive and many other apps.

Also, I have noticed that the apps which have lib files-- when we link those apps including the lib, the lib part vanishes and is not linked at all when you try to unlink it, you'll see library (3rd option) says "no lib files"
[Android Apps and Games] nilanko:
I have figured out that all apps which have lib files (at /data/data/lib) don't work after linking because lib files vanish after linking. What's the solution [MENTION=3258861]bakpinar[/MENTION]?

Also, if we uninstall any linked app, it won't re-install again unless we go to /data/dalvik-cache/ and delete the link file of the uninstalled app because it doesn't get deleted automatically.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I don't know, I tried linking dex, apk, data expect lib as well, that didn't work either but one thing I know is that those apps which have libs don't work upon linking.
[Android Apps and Games] Cristabel:
Long time user, never had any issues. After app updated (and a reboot), a bunch of apps force closed - second partition had unmounted itself. Now when I try to 'recreate mount scripts' I get the invalid argument error.

Any way to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] iGuyver01:
Seams like I am having the same problem as above since last update, around one third of my apps gone, and I can't reinstall them neither from thye store or the SD card.

Tried clear the caches, relinks, soft boots, nothing is working =S

And I have made so much personalization till now that I don't want flash or hard reset it now.
[Android Apps and Games] btb55:
I had this happen too with a number of apps. I found a workaround was to search for any files with the same name as the app and manually delete them. I think they would be library files. After that I could re-install the app. The apps it happened with to me didn't have any meaningful data that was lost, so just a minor inconvenience.

I don't know why it happened though, and I quickly deleted related files and re-installed without looking into it any further.
[Android Apps and Games] iGuyver01:
Thanks btb55, so did you delete the app library files in the SD in the FAT32 or EXT4 partition? In windows or in the phone?

Thanks for the help.
[Android Apps and Games] btb55:
I searched internal memory, not the ext SD card, and deleted every instance.

For example one app that failed was BBC iPlayer, so I searched "iplayer" on the internal storage and deleted every instance. After that I could re-install the app. I didn't need to do anything on the external SD Card.

Hope that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] iGuyver01:
OK thank you for the info, did you used some special program to acess the files in the internal memory?
[Android Apps and Games] btb55:
I use X-plore File Manager, free version.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore
[Android Apps and Games] iGuyver01:
Hmmm, installed the X-plore free and I really find some files from apps that has disappeared, but when I tried to delete gives me a error that cannot delete that files.

Used another free Explorer and gives me an error about the "Root" being read only, used Disk Info but nothing seams wrong =S
[Android Apps and Games] btb55:
Your device needs to be rooted. If so in X-plore configuration tick to show hidden files and also set 'SuperUser + mount writeable access', then you will be able to delete the files you found.

If your device isn't rooted I'm afraid I don't know another solution that will let you re-install the broken apps.
[Android Apps and Games] iGuyver01:
Yes I have an, HDC i6 Plus, Droid 4.2.2.

Hi, I have a Sony Xperia J and this doesn't work on my phone...do you have any recommendations?
[Android Apps and Games] btb55:
Well, it just happened to me again. Amazon appstore and Amazon Kindle received updates,both were linked to the the ext SD card. After the updates the appstore reported it was not installed and Amazon Kindle FC.

I tried to reinstall both and got the error message that there was not not enough storage space and the installation couldn't complete. I searched /root for all instances of amazon (to find all amazon appstore and kindle files) and deleted them.

After deleting these files I successfully re-installed both apps and I've took some screenshots and attached them.

Its not a good situation when an update breaks the app, hope we get a fix for this soon.
[Android Apps and Games] bakpinar:
Thanks for reporting, will be fixed in 4.0.7
[Android Apps and Games] nilanko:
That's awesome. I think I would just keep the phone away and wait for the magic to come :)

Thanks a lot :)

EDIT: The app works flawlessly on Cynogenmod but not on stock ROM. Also, mount scripts are not loaded automatically at boot on stock ROM. I'm on CM12/5.0.2. Problems only arise with stock 5.0.2 ROM (Moto E here).
[Android Apps and Games] Chanteyousei:
When I reboot my phone, there's a chance that the game data stored on SD card partition 1(fat32) which I linked to partition 2(EXT 4) would suddenly unbind itself and could not be bound back, no matter how many times i tapped 'bind' or restarted the phone. if i try to start those apps, they will try to redownload the data like the app was newly installed.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3196417&stc=1&d=1425605837

when i went to /data/sdext2/Link2sd/bind/data, i realised that the data is still there, but the bind is somehow not working.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3196418&stc=1&d=1425605837

if i rename any of the folders, in link2sd the EXT folders will be able to be "link to sd again", but if i try to do so i get this error:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3196419&stc=1&d=1425605837

anyone knows how to fix this? i do not wish ti redownload all the data again when they are still there.

Edit: I noticed all affected apps' folders original destination are all in /data/media/0/Android/data/* where.* is the name of the app. could this be the cause?
[Android Apps and Games] Hydrony:
I have a question. Since every data of my apps is stored on my external sd what will happen if i flash a different rom or perform a factory reset? If i install link2sd afterwards will it detect all my apps i stored on the sd card with link2sd before i did the factory reset? so i dont have to reinstall them?
[Android Apps and Games] tobbbie:
No this does not work. Android assignes "User"-IDs per application and permits only this ID to access the data. This is linked to package manager knowing about the installations. So a factory reset will clean this data and all files on the sd card are not accessible because no user id is linked to them. Only with a lot of manual actions and detailied know-how you may be able to reinstall and recover your data later.

It is much easier to do a nandroid backup of your /data and /sd-ext partition and restore that after a new ROM. Possibly you could even skip /sd-ext (as it stays untouched) but I am not sure here.

Mind that the sequence in restore leaves a trap that will catch you with link2sd. All the link-scripts are on /system and you must install link2sd on a fresh system first to create the link-files - then un-install link2sd again (it should leave the link-files). Only then restore your partitions - which will put back the original (backed-up) link2sd, all other apps and their UID matching to the UIDs linked on the sd-ext.

The few times I have done the procedure on my Xperia Ray have finally resulted in re-installing due to various traps on the way...
[Android Apps and Games] iGuyver01:
Hmmm new update new problem, cannot bind some stuff, for exemple Data (Ext.) & Cache (Ext.)

P.S.: Resolving this problem now by unistalling and reinstalling all over again.
[Android Apps and Games] spannernick:
Why do you need to use a second partition on your sd card,why can't the files be linked to a folder on the sdcard like obb files,I can't use a second partition every time I do my phone messes up and all my apps disappear or i get a app id problem,last time it messed up so bad that now my sd card is no good so I had to buy another sd card..??

Thanks to being able to move the obb files over you don't even need to link the apps now just move them to your sd card.

When I try to link internal data to my SD-card, I get an error message: Failure. Link2sd package invalid

(Link2SD is version 4.0.9)

My system is protected by XPrivacy and AFwall+, but I don't see anything in the XPrivacy usage data that might lead to Link2SD not being able to do its job.

I bought the Plus version (a long time ago) and Link2SD shows that it is running in "Plus mode". I can link dalvik-cache files of system apps and I can use other features of the Plus version. This makes me think that it is Link2SD, and not any restriction by XPrivacy or AFwall is causing trouble here.

Unfortunately I cannot even provide a logcat. When trying to link internal data, logcat simply doesn't show anything! (logcat shows everything equal to or above information level).

Edit: Btw., I love the new UI! :D

Hi there, long time big fan of this application. I'm having a frustrating problem after updating to lollipop. Often after a twrp restore from backup, after boot, I'm presented with a UUID are inconsistent . In the past I would wipe the data partition then reinstall application and "relink all application files" but now every time I'm presented with found no file to link, despite having a ton of apps in /data/sdext2. I'm banging my head here... Please help
[Android Apps and Games] geondut:
Is there a way to link custom folder from internal to ext sdcard? For ex I want to link manga watcher folder its not data / cache, its just storage for downloaded manga
[Android Apps and Games] cantenna:
Urgh, just happens again!

Can someone confirm that the relink application files feature is indeed broken on lollipop? I had this feature working great in KitKat. Thanks.

Also can someone advise how to correct uuid error without have to wipe data partition? I have a good understanding of how to use Linux. Can I fix this error by determining current uuid and setting data dir to the correct uuid? Is their a tool to do this.

Again, don't want to wipe data partition because for me the relink application file feature is broken, so I have to manually re install everything, very time consuming :)

Update: moving files back from second partition to internal storage made the uuid error go away. :) so instead of moving all 300 apps to second partition I'll keep it to just 50 apps. I believe that there one or a few apps that don't tolerate movement, wish I knew which apps.

Mount script created, please restart your device to mount the second partition of your SD card.

If you're getting this message after restarting, it means that the second partition cannot be mounted automatically at boot.

OK REBOOT DEVICE

You can select some apps as favorites and then show them together in one Favorites list.

You can use a script in addon.d for that purpose (follow these instructions). If you have never done something like this before, it can be awkward to set up and it can potentially break things. But once you got it running, it is unbelievably convenient and you will never have to think about deleting unwanted apps after a system update ever again :D

Alright guys I'm about to blow my top off here. The most recent Link2SD update completely messed up my entire phone.

For reference, I'm currently running an LG G3 D851 4.4.2, stock ROM and rooted. Everything was fine until recently when I started noticing a Play Store update app error "-110".

Not knowing what it was, I investigated, and found that my entire group of app installations have been completely screwed up.

1) First off, I can't install ANYTHING. No app, no nothing. I need to probably install an updated Link2SD to fix this nonsense...right? Can anyone direct me to how I would install the apk using ADB?

2) My mount script is broken and it's not working. It tells me "Mount script cannot be created. mount: Unknown error 150". As a result, my SD 2nd partition remains unmounted....which I think is the source of this entire problem.

3) Viewing my internal storage through DiskUsage, I've discovered that every single app I used to have installed has been "merged" into a single folder simply called "System data". Referenced through this photo here: http://i.imgur.com/ksukQGG.png . Instead of showing the individual folders, e.g.: Google Translate, Pocketcasts, etc, it just shows that big anonymous block of "System Data".

4) If I go to Settings -> Apps. Every single app shows up with "0.00b" as their app size.

HELPPPPP PLEASEEEE :( I will seriously monetarily tip someone if they can provide me with a solution to this.

Hi,

A question about Link2SD and delvik-cache. I noticed that the dalvik-cache files somehow unlink (if I link an app and look at it again in a few days, the dalvik-cache file is not linked anymore), is this the normal behavior? I'm sure this was stable before (it could be because before I used version 3+ or that before I used Jelly Bean and now KitKat?)

Thanks.

Quick Fix : Just uninstall Link2SD > Reboot > Install one of the Previous Versions of Link2SD from here .

Installing the app using ADB :

First setup the ADB,place the app you want to install in the same folder where "adb" is and run the following command.

adb install app name.apk

e.g. if you want to install "link2sd",the command would be

adb install link2sd.apk

Here is the Full Guide to ADB.

Hope this helps!!!

Repartition your SD Card with GParted.

After that

>Insert your SD Card in the phone

>Reboot your phone

>Install Link2sd again and open it, when it asks you to select the file system of second partition,select ext4.

It should work now.
