I wanted to ask in the tread confused which one, so sorry if wrong place , my new occupant here

I 've installed the application link2sd , when I use my internal memory is still full , I use the " create a link " , and is still full , I try to select move to sd , memory is slightly reduced , why yes ?

I use ics rom ( what's not supported in ics )

please answer

Help, please!! I've used LinkToSD to move user apps to storage card. Later I also installed GL to SD for some games. But then I rebooted the phone and it doesn't load if the flash card is inserted. LinkToSD cannot mount 2nd partition and offers to remount sripts and reboot. After reboot the phone is again stuck in the loop.

I've uninstalled both programs, but the problem remains. What can I do?
[Android Apps and Games] egingell:
Use ADB from recovery to move /system/bin/debuggerd.bin back to /system/debuggerd if present, delete /system/etc/init.d/10link2sd, delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, and reboot.

Or...

Copy the APKs from the second partition to the first partition, get rid of the second partition, put the card back into the phone and boot it back up. If it boots up, move the APKs back to /data/app overwriting existing files, fix their permissions to 644 (u+rw,g+r) ((a rooted file explorer: left- top two, middle- top one) or (command line: chmod 644 /data/app/*)), and reboot.

Thank you for the response! P.S. Flash card isn't visible from PC or Xperia. Two questions: how do I flash into recovery on Xperia M Dual? and How to use command line to "move" files/folders with ADB?
[Android Apps and Games] egingell:
mv = move... and rename.

As for getting into recovery, I don't know. I've only ever used Samsung phones.

[Android Apps and Games] spocko:
Yes, this seems to be fixed in v3.1.5. Thanks!!

Edit:

Nope, it's not completely fixed. I'm having problems with Google Search after integrating a recent update. v3.1.5 may fix the ability to convert user apps to system, but apparently the feature for integrating updates still has issues with some apps.

[Android Apps and Games] dedalos91:
when update a system app (f.ex. play store.apk) and incorporate in system then the old app do not deleted auto,

only (i think) must delete manual from the file system/app.

is that correct or it is my phone's problem?

It's not you. This app doesn't try to look for the system app's APK file. It just moves the update APK from /data to /system.

Ok I am not sure what is wrong with Link2SD mount script initially as I could not get it to mount any second partition of any type. I downloaded the app DS Super App2SD Lite and ran the initialize on the SD partition 2 and now Link2SD was able to mount partition and work again with Android 4.3! :victory:

Can i move apps manually to data/sdex2?my phone doesn't have a big internal storage bcoz it still not enough after linking to sdcard

(Sorry for my bad english)
[Android Apps and Games] egingell:
Yes, but Link2SD probably won't relink them after an update. And don't forget to link the APK, libs, and/or dex files back to their original locations. And you will need to rebook afterword.
[Android Apps and Games] shikhar623:
Link2sd works on mediatek devices?
[Android Apps and Games] kotey:
I'll try to help you here, it happens to me on low memory devices such as Galaxy Y.

The problem is, sometimes after Link2SD moved/linked apps, the system doesn't realize it yet until a sync is comitted. So you might have to either wait a few minutes before linking a second app, or just reboot if you dont want to wait. When you have much more free space on internal, this sync bug will happen less, usually.

It's not Link2SD bug, its the way Android works on slower devices (at least it is for Gingerbread, not sure about low-end Jellybean devices, I don't have one currently)

You can also try this easier method:

1. Run LInk2SD

2. Filter for 'internal' apps

3. Sort by size

4. Find the smallest one that you want to link, and do it

5. Do the next one, and then next (smaller first) until the system tells you that 'storage is running out'

6. Now press menu and 'clear cache' and do it. The system will be forced to sync.

7. Click 'storage info' and you should see you have more free space on internal than before.

8. Now continue linking apps, smaller first as before until all is done.

Note: if you ever get storage is running out message while processing apps, you can try rebooting or just wait a few minutes and then do a 'storage info' before continuing...

I've encountered problems when moving huge apps (such as firefox with all the apk, dex and libs) that counts around 50mb.

to work around that is a bit of work:

- link smaller apps first to 2nd partition (or sdcard temprarily if you dont mind) one by one until you get enough internal space for that huge app (let say on galaxy Y it will need 60-100M free + 50M for FF + maybe 50M for existing apps, so its quite tough to really calculate exactly, while it has around 200M of internal space)

- you might have to wait several minutes until it syncs, or reboot and check 'storage info' in Link2SD

- then use system function (action -> manage in Link2SD) to move the huge app to internal. make sure it succeeds.

- now you can use Link2SD to link the app to 2nd partition. You might have to link manually one by one sometimes (apk then dex then lib) but usually it can be done in one pass.

- wait a few minutes then when we have the free internal space again, then unlink/move back the smaller apps to internal

- the caveat is, when doing update, this will get tricky all over again. so turn off auto update in google play and do manual update for the big guy only when you are ready/have then time

you'll get it over time how to manage the big and small apps. my galaxy Y has retired but still in excellent condition, it has 1.7GB apps (about 300 apps) installed on the 2nd partition with 100M+ free internal space.

Why is it so hard to configure on most stock ROMs? I've done all the proper steps but whenever I open Link2SD and create a script for it, it always says that 'mount: no device' WTF is that? -_- And found out that Ext2 Partition is not mounted, why the hell is that happening? Anyone knows how to mount the ext partition? Any answers will be appreciated :)
[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmmm.....

1. Your Rom and kernel must have init.d support if you want to use link2sd...

2. Your ext partition must be set as primary when you partition it...exept for linux swap, any partiton you created must be set as primary...

[Android Apps and Games] JovieBrett:
Does installing Busybox automatically sets an init.d script on the device?

All both are primary. It's Ext2 partition btw.
[Android Apps and Games] tramp20:
Hi,

what is the best way to recreate the mount script after installing a new nightly ROM?

Every time after flashing a new nightly I get this error in the screenshot below.

I tried:

in the app settings delete memory and cache

reboot

It seems that only a complete new install of the app does help.
[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
No....but you can install init.d HERE....
[Android Apps and Games] egingell:
1: No, it's not. Link2SD will make /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and/or /system/bin/debuggerd if init.d isn't available. Both run pre-boot.

Headache

Hi,

I have been using LINK2SD for the past 3 years over 2 phones ,,, it's only since updating my Galaxy S3 up to 4.3 firmware that I'm receiving the same LINK2SD error ... it worked fine when using stock firmware 4.1.2

The error reads:

Mount script cannot be created.

mount: Device or resource busy

ext4 may not be supported on your device.

Try FAT32 on the second partition

I notice that this new firmware has the ability to save apps to SD (I believe this is APP2SD support), but I want to use LINK2SD

Please can anyone who is also using stock firmware and managed to get LINK2SD working tell me how ?

I've tried looking all over the web and through this forum but can't seem to find a clear noob-proof answer.
[Android Apps and Games] d_bizzzz:

Is there ANY chance of Link2SD prevent USB connection?

Is there ANY chance of Link2SD prevent USB Mass Storage to work?

Can be just a coincidence, but...

It's been a while that my Android can't get connected via USB to PC. The phone charges normally. But no warning, no USB removal icon, no drive at My Computer, and Android don't show the USB Storage message... (tried USB debuggin on, off, taking off SD and reconnecting)

And I don't know when exactly this started to happen. I'm pretty sure that started after Link2SD first installation. I just can transfer files with Websharing.

I'm using Link2SD for a couple of months now, with CM 7.2, sd-ext 2 part, with 1GB. My SD have 8GB, class 4...

(Phone: LG P500, originally GB 2.3.3)

A few days ago, I flashed Jenkins' CM10, and now I have a sd-ext4 mounted and working.

Today, some bad bug happened, and I flashed again. Misteriously, this time, USB was connected, just for power purpouses. And, after flash... "ta da"! Windows accused USB drive connected, AND Android offered me to activate USB file transfer. How big was my surprise!!

Ok, I disconnected the phone from USB, came home.. After a few reboots, and restoring Link2SD (and keyboard, contacts, wazap), I plugged the phone again... and the problem is just back. Same: not even a signal of connection, except for the charging.

I hope to find other diagnostic to this problem, cause Link2SD saved my phone! :fingers-crossed:

Anyone seen it already?

Thanks!!!

Hi, I'm using the latest version and I've noticed whenever I uninstall or install a newer version of an application, Link2SD would pop a notification saying it is removing the link (name of the app) but those apps were not even linked. Example is Candy Crush Saga, if I install a newer version that notification will appear. Same with another game Jewels Saga. Is this a bug? Link2SD had nothing to do with those apps because they are not even linked so why the notification? Thanks in advanced!

[Q] Media Scanner causing phone to continually reboot?

[Q] Media Scanner causing phone to continually reboot?

A weird issue manifested on my phone today ... the phone started, upon boot up, to spontaneously reboot. It would boot up within 30s, at which point I unlock it an pulldown the notifications screen (to see what was going on).

I saw several instances of "media scanner running" occurring - over the course of various trials I would see the following messages alternate on the top status bar.

Media scanner running... (system storage)

Media scanner running... (SD card)

Media scanner running.... (USB storage)

Media scanning completed

...while below in the notification areas I'd see the "Media scanning", "Media scanning...USB storage" etc messages periodically appear.

The phone would first lockup, then reboot perhaps 3 out of every 4 startups. Several of those times the last message I saw prior to the lockup was Media scanner running.... (USB storage).

I pulled out the 32FB Sandisk SD card, then tried booting the phone several times, and this time no issue - booted up fine, no lockups nor auto-reboots. Note though that I've had the SD card installed for over a year, and the problem only cropped up today.

Same problem on Samsung Galaxy Ace

I'm experiencing the exactly same problem on my rooted Samsung Galaxy Ace (Gingerbread 2.3.6).

Reboots with SD card mounted and working fine with SD card unmounted.

I'm using Link2SD with a 2nd ext2 partition, and when SD card is unmounted, all Linked apps work perfectly fine.

I've tried removing and re-inserting SD card and also recreating mount scripts to no use.

What might be the possible causes of this problem???

Is this problem related to Link2SD???

:silly::fingers-crossed::(:crying:
[Android Apps and Games] molitar:
the EXT2 partition mounting stopped working with Kit Kat. But I still find it useful for moving to SD Card so now using Link2SD for that only currently.

Nice to see that you are selling an ad-less plus version ... which I bought yesterday :)

But how do you verify the license? I only get the Plus version when I am connected to the internet before I launch Link2SD! (Since I block internet access in XPrivacy and AFWall+, I assume that the license is checked by Google services)

Well, this is an absolute show-killer for me because I use my phone mostly offline. There are many apps that work well this way (AFWall+, Tasker, Apex Pro) and for some apps, licenses are available via e-mail (XPrivacy). Will you do something about this sometime in the future?
[Android Apps and Games] tobbbie:
It works fine for me even when I am offline (just re-checked going offline). As usual, the additional key you install will serve the purpose of unlocking the app. How do you tell the difference - by the app's headline either showing a lock symbol or a "plus"?
[Android Apps and Games] rakijaman:
How much costs key?
[Android Apps and Games] daniel_m:
Yes, I see a "plus" instead of a lock when I am online. Might be that I am blocking something vital with XPrivacy, but all I see in the XPrivacy log is privacy related things like DeviceID, NetworkType, PhoneType, NetworkOperator and my device's serial. None of these should be of interest to any app and I don't even know if it is only the plus key that needs access to some information, or Link2SD itself or both.

Still, it's curious that an internet connection makes it work ...

Init.d was working on my phone, but after installing Link2SD, it stopped working. I reinstalled busybox and used Term-init to re-enable init.d, but got no result. Please help.
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Link2SD can't cause the "stopped working" as it merely installs a script there.

More information, maybe? How did you know it was working? How did you figure out it stopped working? What do you have in your init.d directory? Etc.
[Android Apps and Games] MrinmoyJK:
Thank you for your reply. There is a test script installed by Term-init that confirms the working init.d. There are several scripts the folder. But the "00test" is first one that runs.

#!/system/bin/sh
#init.d test

if [ -f /data/Test.log ]; then
rm /data/Test.log
fi

echo "Init.d is working !!!" >> /data/Test.log
echo "excecuted on $(date +"%d-%m-%Y %r" )" >> /data/Test.log

I deleted "/data/Test.log", and no new file formed after reboots. The reason may be something else but, I have no idea what. Is there any way I can find out?

I have uploaded the contents of init.d(all 0777), build.prop(0644), init.rc(0750), install-recovery(0755),sysctl.conf(0644) and sysint(0755) here if you want to know more. Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] egingell:
Link2SD replaces both /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/bin/debuggerd with its own script. Both of which are used to enable init.d on ROMs that don't support it natively. It also puts it in /system/etc/init.d.
