Some apps can't be moved to SD-card via apps2sd or what that app is called. Is there any other way you can move those apps to your sd-card?

Some apps cannot be moved to the SD card even when you have used the "pm setInstallLocation 2" command using adb, alot of widget, live wallpapers, some social networking apps like tweetcaster, and system maintenence apps all install to /data no matter what, to save space usually i push these apps to /system/app that way they work correctly as they are installed to the nand, but they dont take the space up in data ]
I hope soon someone will get apps2sd working on our devices, this symlinks /data/app/ and /data/dalvikcache/ to and ext partition on your sd card and not only saves space, but you dont have to worry about the install location of an app you may want to start at boot or sync using the native android sync settings
Over in the arc development section there is a whole thread on apps2sd and how to get it working properly maybe give that a shot and see if it works for the play

good morning,
my ace has 233 ginger installed, rooted.
I always used titanium back to move apps from telephone memory to SD.
I just discovered that linksd makes the same thing.
Reading around it seems the link2sd move completely the applications leaving only the link in the internal memory, but I don't know if titanium makes the same.
I'm wondering Which are the differences between these two methods and which is the best program to move applications?
thanks
I use Titanium Backup to move to SD and it must transfer the files to SD and leaves a link on the internal because amount of ram available increases on the internal drive.
I have had no issues with it.

Ram?
noboddy has tested both the applications to understand which is the best one?
I think titanium makes a mount point for each moved app, and link2sd a symbolic link. Dunno what's better though. I would say... Test it in performance, comparability and memory usage...

I've using the Titanium Backup feature but seems almost everyone "love" link2sd, so it has to have something different I guees.

Hey thanks. That means is "not that usefull" as Link2SD right?
Seems I'll have to try it then.
Any problems with it?

I just install S2E and then restore all my apps using Titanium Backup. S2E installs them in the SD automatically so I don't have to stop to batch move them so the SD.
Titanium uses the older method in which apps are stored on the FAT partition and mounted, link2sd needs a second ext4/3 partition and simlinks each app. link2sd method is better as it doesn't need to wait to mount on first login. Titanium leaves dalvik cache on internal, link2sd moves it to ext partition and so it saves more space. s2e and a2sd is similar to link2sd but they symlink the whole folder, which is less flexible but easier to manage.

And that's exactly the problem with link2sd: it runs late. So the apps it links to aren't available while the sdcard is scanned for icons and file paths. Consequently it often (ie. always in my case!) has to restart or "soft boot" the device, which is annoying to say the least. I even had some unusable apps that couldn't take the fuzz. All probs repaired easily, but then, why bother? I kept the 500MB ext2 partition, though, might come in handy some day.
I suggest using ext2 as a general rule: ext3/ext4 are created with a log by default. This log carries changes to any data on disk and is flushed out from time to time by a special kernel thread. While this can speed operation and even safe guard against data corruption it is also unsuitable for flash storage and puts load on the wear levelling block driver beneath it _if there is one_! Now ext3/ext4 can be created and mounted without a log, but you'd have to trust other peoples/devs judgement to get this right. Not a problem with ext2. Ext4 is really fast and reliable, but with flash the bottleneck is elsewhere.

Exactly.
I use both the apps, and you can make them working togheter for the best backup - restore experience on our SGA:
simply do this:
1) set autolink option "on" and install location option to "external" within Link2SD before installing the apps, all will be linked to SD automatically.
2) set "restore backups to ..." option to "Internal storage" within Titanium backup before restoring.
Once you do this, apps restored with titanium will be auto linked.
WARNING: don't link app like launchers (and related, like theme) or keyboards.
Hm, I've not had those problems with link2sd. I do agree that s2e method is simpler and less prone to possible errors; a sym linked dir doesn't need a service to relink per application as link2sd does. And I agree that if you are unsure about disabling journaling on ext4, then ext2 is a better default. Annoyingly sd-ext seems to mount as ext3 by default, so I manually edited init.d to mount as ext4 and removed journaling.

Hey,
Can someone suggest a descent app for moving apps/data/dalvik to sd-ext? I've been using s2e it did the job but there's an issue with ICS2 Final by jusada and I really like this rom.
I noticed that even apps moved to sd-ext, I could still use widgets which is cool, so any similar program for moving things to sd-ext and is compatible with CM7.2? I think apps2ext is not officialy supported by cyanogen so what's your proposal?
I suggest link2sd(search in market) it's free.
And you can move individual app/dex/lib etc to sd partition.(which can be ext[2|3|4] or fat).
It can clear all app caches, list system/user/SD card/link app/ sort with apk size,data....etc.

so if I press the move to sd for an individula app it sends it to sd or sd-ext cause I am using that and I think it moves them to sd. Maybe I wrong?
I am using link2SD and so far im not having any problems..and i think its better, and much easier to use than a2sdgui..

You might want to read app description.
it can move to SD card in froyo way or linking individual app to sd partition.
s2e or other script link /data/app directory (just like your pc shortcut) to sd partition.
link2sd allows you to control which app to move.
I prefer this way since I don't want some apps on sd partition.

I've read instructions but couldn't understand that linking means moving the files to sd-ext. So if I want to place them in sd-ext I choose Link and not move to SD, correct? And would be the same as s2e, right?
does links2sd works on stock rom and 4 GB EXT ?

you need to "create link". thats all. move one at a time or batch move. then reboot.
Sent from a phone with an app.
Just for clarification:
"Create link" in Link2SD means "move app files, app libraries and app dexes (if any) to sd-ext and create a link in /data/app (or anywhere the app originally came from) to sd-ext."
Linking in Linux/Android is the same as making a shortcut in Windows.

Put no system app's in you SD card using App2SD, before create a ext4 partition in your sd card and opem App2SD. After configure and move you apps to sd card except system apps (SMS.apk .... ... .. .) and apps with widget in you desktop.
try clearing dalvik cache,gave me like 7MB of memory,better than nothing
You can try to force move apps with titanium backup too
there is a way on galaxy mini forum
You could try first changing the default place to save the apps (you don't need to be root, but you need the sdk installed on your pc).
You need to open adb (Android\Android-SDK\Platform-tools) from sdk and type this command (this works only for gingerbread):
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2.
This will set the default location to the SD card. I used it, but you should keep widgets and other apps in the phone (facebook has some problems in the SD) so the load fast when the phone starts
Have you done the following?
open the app called a2sdgi select "move and rebuild" after checking "dalvik cache in sd-ext" (it will automatically reboot once you press move and rebuild
delete apps in data/local in your internal memory using root explorer

for the moment not possible! Maybe in the future someone will make a rom who supports that
Gl to sd card only moves files. Apps will not work later. For example, I moved Max Payne to external sd card, and then when I launched the game, it asked to download missing files. What we need over here is an app that will automatically rout to sd card when clicked.
I tried App2SD, Link2SD and GLtoSD and none worked except for breaking Google Play, the only solution i found was Directory Bind.

Thanks, will give it a try. Weird thing, i've spent like an hour trying to figure out why can't move apps to sd...
Well Directory Bind can't move Apps it only moves folders, so you can move all the SD data and some of the folders containing the Apps but when you move it you have to leave the original folder on internal memory because it makes it impossible to delete, so you just have to delete the contents.
Anyone tried "super mount".app made by lidroid
Would this work?
I opened the script file using notepad, would you just change where it says "external_sd" to "extSdCard" and it would bind the folder and allow games to access the data from the external SD?
Just asking because I'm not sure if this would work on the S3...

With Link2SD i moved a lot of applicaton to the system partition, but i had problems with shazam and opera classic. They doesn't work and if i try to re-pass them to the user partition, Link2SD give me the error: write: No space left on device. (but i've a lot of space!!). This happens also with the others applications.
How can i solve? I've wiped cache by recovery but the problem remains.. any suggestions?
EDIT: it's the dalvik cache.. I've two directory /cache/dalvik-cache and /data/dalvik-cache. If i clean the first the space problem disappear and i can do anything perfectly.. but when i reboot, the dalvik is recreated and the space is full again (cache).
This is the question: the apps i've moved to the rom memory (system memory) create a too large dalvik-cache (i think). I would like to move the dalvik-cache of this applications to the user memory (not to the sd card). Integrate /cache/dalvik-cache in /data/dalvik-cache. Is possible?
How can i do?

Hmmm...dalvik-cache from system apps can't be move into ext partition using link2sd...link2sd keep it at cache/dalvik-cache so your phone can boot faster and can open system apps quicker...
but if you want to really move those dalvik-cache you have to use other apps than link2sd... This Apps can do the job but remember you need to restore all files that have been link using link2sd first...both app can't work together so you need to uninstalled link2sd before you can use it....also remember this app might not work on certain phone and rom...make Nandriod backup before you attempt to try this apps...
