Hi everyone facing this people from few hours I transfered some files to the mem card and when I removed the phone the applications are not showing at all I had shortcuts of two on the home screen surprisingly they work but have no icons just the name.

You can't just move the android_secure onto a new sd card and to a new rom. you need to use titanium backup. root and then get from market for free.

Hi All,
In the Applications screen, I have arranged the icons there but after reboot or disconnecting from PC, my icons rearranges themselves.
I have searched and in xda-dev, only one guy has posted the same problem in xperia mini:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998357
I don't have any SD card inserted so I'm not sure why.. (I've seen discussions that apps moved to SD card will make their icons run around)
Can anybody please assist?
Running Android 2.3.4, GINGERBREAD.UHKG7
Thanks!
Mine also does the same
Unfortunately I don't find any solution yet

hi chrisjcks,
thanks for your feedback but I don't want to arrange it alphabetically.
I want to sort it by my preference which would be in pages: apps, games, settings+mod, etc.
You can create folders and move your apps into them. I do it, the folders keep arranged as I pleced them. The apps inside, however, keep re-sorting as before. But if you have small folders, it's much better as if all apps are in a complete mess as it's without having folders.
Hi skr68,
yes i understand about the folders but it's sad having to create folders when we can have as many apps pages as we want..
can anybody else assist in advicing how to stop the icons moving around?
i'm currently using other launcher but it will not allow pages to be not full..
go to settings > applications > manage applications and the "on SD card" tab
the galaxy s2 partitions its internal memory in 2gb of ROM and the rest as an sdcard, so whether you have an external sdcard inserted or not, apps might still be being installed on the "sdcard"
have a look and see if any are ticked, open them and move them to the phone memory and see if the issue persists
Well, that might not *quite* be what he wanted to know...
We are talking about the icons here, not app installation paths.

Yes it the only thing I don't like about Touchwiz, You will have to use a 3rd party launcher like launcher plus or ADW launcher if you want that feature.
hi viva.fidel,
yes there are items listed "On SD Card" but they are not ticked - i opened them and the option is to move to SD card, no option to move to phone memory..any further advice?
Thanks!
hi jhernand1102,
i don't think it's limited to touchwiz, you can see the same problem with xperia mini at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998357
hi, any help?
I think what is being said is that apps on SD are displayed after others because it needs to mount and scan at boot time, this is what is killing the order in the launcher.
What I really want to figure out is if there is some way I can modify the touchwiz launcher to always arrange alphabetically.

hi alias_neo,
yes i understand that but i don't have any sd card installed and if you see post ten, none of the apps "on sd card" is ticked too..
anyway, gave up and decided to use after market launchers..currently using GO Launcher
I'm running KG6 on a SGS2 and I was also having this problem. I found a solution though.
1. Install AppZorter Lite from the Android Marketplace.
2. Open AppZorter and select 'Settings'.
3. Select 'Advanced settings'.
4. Select 'Recover application menu'.
This will reset the application menu on the home screen and the icons in the app draw.
5. Move applications to your desired locations in the app draw.
6. Restart and enjoy app icons where you want them to be.
@ _Sledz_
thanks for the valuable input!

A simple solution would be to use adw free or paid. You can make catalogs and sort your apps as you want.
However touchwiz does not have any such features except moving apps around and making folders
app icons keep moving
my app icons keep moving around after I place them where I want them too. Probably the most annoying thing I've discovered about this phone.

yeahh it works! thnkss :victory:
I just got a new sd card with more memory space(had 2g now 16g). Now that i have the room i would like to transfer all my apps to sd. The thing is a lot of the apps i have ive made into widgets that way i dont have to scroll thru my app drawer every time. My bf was telling that if it is an app that i made a widget then i cant transfer it to sd. He says that the app ends up failing or having issues. I transferred my titanium a little while ago and have not had any issues. So im wondering if what he told me is true or that i can transfer to sd without encountering issues down the road??

As long as your not using built Widgets but an app shortcut (which is what it sounds like your doing) you maybe OK. But yes apps stored on SD cards with Widgets do get messes up.
If you need the widgets you'll need to leave on the phone memory. Most of these apps state this in their documentation.
Sometimes apps requires you to download a widget if you plan on moving the app to the sd card.
I bought Galaxy SIII just 5 days ago and installed Omega v11 rom with SiyahKernel v1.4.I started installing apps to test my quad-core phone(Gangstar Rio,Asphalt 7,Modern Combat 3,Mass Effect Inflitrator etc..) ,when i noticed all the appdata were installed at the internal sd(mainly Android/data and Android/obb).I want to have that huge amount of data on my external and not interal sd.If move an app's data to external after it has downloaded them already,the app downloads them again.
If you do a search in the forum, it has been stated that you cannot run apps from your external sd card, with other android phones all you need is a app called app2sd, there are many for free in the play store.
I use gl to sd from the play store. Once moved you then news to open up the games from within the app or once in the app, select mount and hit the home button. Then open apps as normal. Its mainly for gameloft games (gl) but in settings there are also options to move data from the android / data folder as well as select your own custom folders.
There are a few others out there but this was my favourite.

It only works with games or apps that has the option to store additional data to ext. sd.
I think I heard about this in another thread.
Directory Bind. It will not move APKs themselves, but it will move the large data directories for games etc. that you're on about to the external card and correctly set up a bind mount so that it looks like the folder can be found on the internal card. If you use it, save yourself some time and enable the alternative database (something like that) option in its settings.
If you have root and partitioned sd card you have to instal link2sd. This will move the application to the second partition of the sd and creates a link to it. This will help the phone to recognize it as it would be installed on phone but really it would be on sd.
Like a shortcut in windows.

It doesn't move the app to the external card, only the data which is what the OP is asking. The apps themselves are tiny compared to the data, eg 9mm which has data of 2gb. Worked perfect on my S2 and now S3. Moved close to 20gb of data to the external card.
Directory Bind is also good but it would remove settings for me after a reboot. Maybe I was doing something wrong.

you probably misunderstood me, when I say games and apps, i mean as a whole, whether its a game or application download from play store, and not as a individual.
This is also the case with app2sd, the actual program is still in the phone, while the data is in the ext.sd.
thank u for your answers!i will check both glstosd and directorybind and report back...just to clarify,i want to move the applications data,like android/data,android/obb,gameloft to external,not the application itself
Hello Folks! I've been lurking these forums for a few months now, but now it's time to join up! You guys are awesome.
I've got a question relating to the CM10 A2 ROM. Install went smoothly from a fresh SBF/Root/Flash. I got all my applications installed and moved them all to the phone. I have a problem that occurs when connecting the phone to my computer via USB. If I leave it in charge mode, no problem. Upon clicking the option to allow USB Mass Storage, I get quite a few apps that FC. The list is as follows:
sManager
AutomateIt Pro
App Protector Pro
ROM Toolbox Pro
TiBu
I get popup notifications that the apps' processes have stopped and upon going to the app drawer, the icons have been replaced with the Android Robot. The problem persists after disabling mass storage and the apps FC on attempting to launch them. The only thing to fix them seems to be rebooting. I know each of these apps have permission req's that read/write the SD card, is that what is causing the problem? Any way to fix? Thanks a bunch!

Maybe because the apps are installed on your SD card and when you turn on USB storage, it cant display on your phone anymore. Are they installed on your SD card?

That was the first thing I checked and unfortunately they aren't installed on the SD. I moved all my apps to the phone.

I cant think of any other reason why they would stop working in USB mode. Maybe there are certain things they use that are on the SD Card and not necessarily the app itself. It does warn you that some apps will not work when you select USB mode.
IMHO I think it has something to do with the new SD card directory. I've used almost all the ROMs for the x2 including the cm7 and cm9. This seems to only occur with cm10.
Edit: I noticed some of these apps have folders located on the internal SD. I doubt that has changed across ROM's, any idea why it would change with this one?
Sent from my MB870 using xda app-developers app
Alright. So it appears that the problem is caused by a new way the play store distributes paid apps to JB. From reading around in various sites, these apps are sent to the "app-asec" folder as .asec files instead of .apk. When connecting to USB, CM10 seems to go through some internal trouble (i.e. lots of screen flickering/redrawing and sometimes it seems to soft reboot). My theory is that how the play store is installing is causing the issues app developers are seeing. The app is attempting to start before the app-asec folder is mounted, causing FC's.
Edit: Other users have reported a workaround that if you restore the apps with TiBu or something similar it places the actual .apk file in the correct directory. The issue only seems to affect paid apps installed by the play store.

Sorry to keep posting on my own thread, but I've found a workaround. This also seems to have fixed the launcher redraws and screen flickering I mentioned above.
Navigate to the /data/app-sec folder
Make note of all the apps installed there as .asec files.
Using your backup program of choice (I used TiBu for the majority and ROM Toolbox so I could backup TiBu), backup all the apps you found.
Uninstall the previously mentioned apps.
Restore using the same backup program(s).
Go back to the /data/app-sec folder and verify that all the files are gone.
Go to /data/app folder and you should see the .apk's from the restored apps.
Hope this helps someone else!

Good to see you figured it out and also, good find. I noticed plugging in my device as USB and having it "soft reboot". Lately I haven't had the issue happen again. Your theory makes sense now since there is one app in that location and it is a theme I was using but lately, have not been. Ill move it as you suggested.
I have a sony live with walkman phone with a 32GD SD HC card (10) and am having problems with transferring apps on to the card. Whenever I try and move an app I get a message that it could not be moved. On a few occasions the app has moved but then cannot be found when I want to use it and the icon changes. I had another of these phones previously and didn't have this problem, however I bought that one second so it may of been modded somehow. Another member on the sony forums told me the issue can be fixed so I was hoping that someone could help me please.
Many thanks
Which apps were you trying to move?Because some apps like Facebook and Gmail can't be moved to SD card but if your phone was rooted try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning and install Link2SD from PlayStore then you can link many apps that can't be moved to your SD card
Sent from my Live with Walkman using xda app-developers app
Thank you for your reply. I cannot move any apps to the SD card, not even ones that say they can be. The phone is brand new so not rooted. I had one of these phones previously and was able to move anything I wanted to the SD card, other than as you say apps that have to stay on the phone.
