Hi guys,
I was wondering whether it was OK for me to remove
Sndinitdefy_1.4_2.apk
gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
update-cm-7.1-0-jordan-beta6-signed.zip
From my sd card once they're installed (got my phone a few weeks ago, followed a guide on XDA and am running CM7 now, but I'm not sure whether these files are needlessly hogging up space or not).
Thanks

I would copy them to you PC, then you are fine to delete them.

Yeah, you missed the part of the MoDaCo ROM release notes that tells you that A2SD is installed as part of the ROM.
yeh but i dnt get that option when i boot in the recovery screen thats y i downloaded app2sd

That's 'cos it isn't an option - you have to repartition your card and then A2SD (built into MCR2.2) moves your apps when it detects the ext3 partition.
You need to partition your SD card using computer, the phone itself can only 'format' the card which is no good. As per http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/A2SD:
The SDcard will need two partitions, the first Fat / Fat32 & the second Ext2 For the Ext2 partition I wouldn't go higher than 1.5GB cuz you may run into some issues. I was staying around the 500MB / 750MB area & it was working nice. As all the guides I've read state not to exceed the 1.5GB Marker.

Although a lot of guides say to use Ext3, Ext2 works fine for me. Remember, only newly (re)installed apps will be put onto the SD card- the old ones stay on the phone's own memory.

Incorrect if using MCR2.x; preinstalled apps are also moved.
Only if moving from an earlier Modaco ROM, everyone else has to wipe first. If Fezy had not partitioned his card first then his apps would be installed to internal memory and I don't think that partitioning the card subsequently will cause those apps to be moved to it.
Hi thanks for all replies your assistant is much appreciated. As i'm new to android (coming from symbian) I was doing so much research i ended up getting confused with all the stuff i saw. But just the day before yesterday actually realised what you just said. I had decided to manually create a partition on computer and did it up to ext 3 etc but thought it didnt work because again i tried to use da apps2sd application to move the apps ( i know "what a noob") and hadn't realised that the applications had alrdy transferred (i only realsied later when i saw 93mb of free phonestorage space) so i ended up doing it all again and as u can gess i lost all my applications lolz, but i had a backup created beforehand so it worked ou .
Thanks again for the help shluggity and squiffsquiff really appreciate it guys.
p.s all the preinstalled apps got moved first time hence me losing all the apps when i tried it again.
ok so i have an hauwie Ideos s7 fat on 2.1-update1 (not the newer slim one which already has the update to 2.2).
its not tied to any network just use it at home on wifi.
i would like to know how to install apps on the external sd in stead of the internal also how to get to the folder which holds pictures and videos so i can move them to create more room. it doesnt have to much internal memory so by installing everything on the sd i plan to improve usage.
i have searched the google and have searched this site and various others and havent found the answer to my question.
so any help given would be great thank u
ps would also like to be able to to move existing installed apps to the external sd as well thank u

You either need to install the Froyo update (since moving apps to the SD started as a default feature in Froyo) or root your device.

Use the app to transfer whichever apps you want to the new partition. Also set it to automatically link new apps to the sd partition, if that's what you want.
If you're having trouble, just Google it. There are hundreds of guides for using Link2SD, and thousands covering all kinds of ways to move apps to the sd card. Here's one to try.
Hello everyone, new to these forums, but have been reading here for a few years now
I have a couple of questions regarding JB 4.1.1 and Galaxy S3 i-9300
First of all, I can't seem to make my external SD card work with anything else but Recovery/Root Explorer.
Gallery doesn't show it, VLC doesn't show it, and I can't find any settings that will allow me to save pictures taken by the cam onto extSD, nor videos.I have tried both AOSP and PA 4.1.1, same issue.
Second, when I flashed AOSP/PA 4.1.1, whenever I go into Gallery, and choose Settings, I just get a blank screen, no options, no nothing.
Am I just stupid, or have I formatted the card wrong?
best regards, Tim :laugh:
Is is FAT32 ?
Are there any partitions (other than the primary) in the SD card? (or, have you repartitioned the sd card) ?
Thanks for the reply. I booted into CWM and formatted the card from there. It still doesn't show up. Will try to reflash JB again.

I am in the same situation. It started when clockworkmod couldn't read some of the files in the download folders (mods i intended to apply) which were visible in es file explorer. After a few tries, sdcard (a trascend 64gb uhs-1 which i indeed recommended a few hours ago in another thread!!!) looks dead both in android AND pc. Had to format to access it. Currently letting diskdigger do his job, then for more invasive action (still yet to figure).

The issue you are facing is what made me flash from AOKP to PA/AOSP in hope of improvement.
While I was running AOKP, I connected my Galaxy to my PC via USB, and in the external SD card, I found multiple copies of the same folder.
For example, I made a folder called PICS inside my SD card when I got it a couple of weeks back and everything was running smoothly. Then just a couple of days ago, I wanted to copy some of my pics, and now I had 5 folders called PICS on my SD, and none of them contained actual pictures, the files had no extensions whatsoever, just blank fileicons.
I'm considering moving back to a stock Sammy ROM, these external SD card issues are getting really frustrating.

i've got the same problem..i read somewhere it was to do with CWM recovery being used? i havent had time to investigate and cant mess with my phone as i'm going away tomorrow....i hope someone points out the solution as this has plagued me since day 1 with jelly bean..
So, formatting the card on pc as NTFS/standard allocation/FULL format (took about one hour and a half) worked for me. Cwm reads it and i made a couple of format to be sure. Weird thing is in settings/memory the ext-sdcard capacity/free space is correct, but there is no visual bar (it is there for internal sd). I'm pretty sure at this point the problem was probably caused by some action i took with mobileodin using files from the sdcard.
Hello everyone! This is my first post in this forum but i've been using this forum for months now..
Anyone knows why my files are getting deleted randomly and placed in LOST.DIR? Files are still in their locations but their size is 0.0kb.
They somehow go to LOST.DIR and become unreadable. Is it a faulty Micro SD card or my Player 5?
My SGP 5.0 is using:
PARANOID ANDROID v2.57.4- March 07 Update
Mercurius v5 Kernel
This problem also happened on Stock GB ROM, anyone know what is happening? any help is much appreciated.

Google told me in 5 seconds time to,read this or many other similar threads.

This is not any related to our very good device, it is android behavior. (good anyway)
Thanks!
But Google didn't help. I know what LOST.DIR is for.
This doesn't happen only on startup, sometimes it's hours or days before files get deleted.
I also do the whole safety remove thing on my PC and SGP 5, and let it finish checking the mem card.
There's also nothing wrong with the files, my iPad and blackberry have the same files in them but don't get deleted.
I know the SGP 5 is a good device, i have one...
If it's android behavior, why is it wiping half my memory card's worth of files for no reason?

Try backing up your files and format

Already did that several times now but it still happens.
I've formatted my SD card, restored it to default, de-fragmented it, full factory reset my SGP 5. It still happens.
Maybe it is a faulty SD Card?
Also, this happened twice already, after copying files to my SD Card from my PC, safety removed it, my SGP said "broken sd card, please reformat", even my pc can't read the card...
It must be my sd card that's causing the problem and hopefully not my Player, what do you guys think?

Fine,
You may Check for some days with another ext Sd card to discriminate this case.
Do you have backup application running or some auto cleaning apk like "forever gone" starting at certain times?

No cleaning apps... I'll try with a different SD card... Thanks for the help.
It happens to me as well. I assume it has something to do with the Galaxy Player (or the SD Card). If it doesn't happen, the SD card randomly gets damaged.
so i bought a new SD card, a Kingston Class 10 32gb, using it for more than a week now and so far no file deletion. I think it's because i was using a cheap SD card, a TDK 32gb Class 2... if the problem happens again, it must be Android's check disk that's causing it.
Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me out.
I'll start up by saying I know nothing about phones or programming so I'd appreciate your inputs if you have the patience to teach a laic
I bought Xiaomi Redmi3 and I'm so far very happy with the phone.
The only thing is I'd like to move some apps to my SD card since the phone only has 16GB.
I read somewhere that since the phone has multilanguage ROM it already has root. It comes with an app called "SuperSU".
Does this mean I can move stuff to the SD card somehow and not break the warranty of the phone?
Is there any way to move stuff to the external storage without rooting the phone?
Thank you so much!
same problem here

Hi, i recentely have tried to solve this problem. As far as i know miui doesn't support any kind of app on the SD.
However, with a rooted phone, i tried to use App2sd.
To use it i had to partition my 32 gb sd, with a first Fat32 partition (almost 20 gb), a Ext3 partition (almost 10gb), and a swap area (almost 2 gb).
App2sd used the second partition, the Ext3 one, to move apps in there.
Everything worked flawlessly, but when i rebooted the phone the MIUI didn't load the second partition (so App2sd said) and so i lost every app i moved in there, without being able to reinstall them (i recieved an error from the playstore).
Surely there may be a solution to the problem through the use of the app, however i'm not good enough to find it, and so i reflashed the miui and rolled back to the previous situation.
