[Q] Please Advise - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

after moved some of my apps to the SD to free up some space on my sgs2.After moving the apps (settings >applications> manage apps) they continue to function as normal. until i rebooted and then all of them become generic android icons with an sd symbol.
when i click on them it says "application not installed on phone" and nothing else happens. also if i go back to the app manager the option to move the app back to the phone is not available.

Reinstall those apps and dont move them .

Market download error?

So I've been having some update and download errors and so I flashed wolfbreaks rom. There are still problems with downloading some games such as angry birds, cordy, and stupid zombies ...

1. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications on your device and locate the Market in the list of installed applications. Tap on it, and clear both its data and cache from the resulting screen. If the Market won’t show all your installed apps under the Downloads section, this will likely fix that issue as well.
2. Make sure your phone recognizes your SD card. Try turning off your device, taking out the memory card and putting it back in. Then check with a file manager on your phone that the SD card in fact can be accessed properly.
It is still unsuccessful, but it is only apps like stupid zombies and angry birds that don't work

some people say that deleting folder adnroid_secure cures that problem, always make copy of ur files. (have u got any spare sdcard that u could try?) u can try formatting sdcard and than installing new rom.
I will try that now , and in my ROM thread I found a somewhat solution, which I will try also.
I fixed the error I used the method in Wolfbreak's FAQ Application not installed:
for those who have problem regarding 'application not installed' try this
use root explorer and delete the smdl2tmp1.asex
hope this helps

how do i do that?
go to menu setting applications and click on some apps you downloaded and there should be serveral options one is clear data uninstall and for apps that are compatable there should be a option on move to sd or download a app called app2sd but the probably wouldn't work until you move some app there in the first place..

[Q] problem with root/ uninstalling apps

Hello. I'm not very experienced with android and recently got a new z ultra (6802). I think it came with 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 i'm not sure, but as soon as i turned it on i was notified to update to 4.4.4. All went well and one of the first apps i installed was clean master. I hadnt tried to root the phone and i was thinking about it mostly in order to get rid of some preinstalled apps, but i found out that clean master had an option to "deactivate" them so they disappeared and all was fine. The last few weeks i loaded the phone with all sorts of useless stuff i wanted to try, and today i tried rooting it using this tool and everything worked ok. Then i did a hard reset and started setting everything up again... But this time clean master, root app delete and 2 other apps of the same type wouldnt uninstall system apps (despite having root access now). Any ideas on what to do? Is it because of the root - should i try to unroot it? Where can i find these ftfs needed? I saw some in the forum but they are for 6833..

Well, clean master is one of the app I hate most. Killing app processes frequently and clearing app caches are the bad ideas for android devices because android system always try to restart apps everytime you kill. So it greatly reduces battery life. Clearing caches can make apps to start slowly.
That's not the point, right? But just a suggestion not to use task killers and cache cleaner if you have enough RAM and storage space.
Ok now for your problem not uninstalling system apps,
-Install ES File Explorer
-Tap the upper left of the app (three striped shape)
-Tap Tools, Tap Root Explorer (not on the button "On") giving/allowing/authorize root access
-Now Tap Mount R/W and choose every partition as R/W then Tap OK
-Let's get back to explorer, Tap the upper left box labelled as "/" (it will redirect you to root of the Device)
-Go to "system" folder in explorer
-There are two folders in Kitkat, namely "app" and "priv-app"
You can now choose apps to be uninstalled that you couldn't uninstall inside these folders by removing any apps (and .odex files) by Long pressing on apps and choose multi apps at once.
For me, I don't delete apps that I wanted to uninstall but I cut them and create a new folder on sd card and paste them all in that new folder for later needs (you can navigate to internal or external storage from the upper right box of the Explorer, to create new folder, tap on the button with "+" sign at the bottom left corner of the app). Don't delete apps that you don't know well because doing so can prevent your device from booting up.
P.S. You can also install apps as system ones in that reverse way (copy, paste from external to system/app). Remember not to include space in the name of the app you wanted to install as system.
Remember to restart the devices after moving/deleting apps.
I think you now understand how to do. Good Luck, mate.
Thanks for taking the time to help! and es file explorer looks like a really nice app. i followed your instructions and moved some of the apk and matching odex to sd card. the problem is the apps didnt dissapear from the list and as soon as i was done play store was downloading new versions of the apps i moved... what i dont understand is why it worked in the first place when it was new! could it be the sony firmware it came with? since this failed, is there an app to freeze these things?

One thing I left to say that you must restart your device as soon as you finish moving/deleting system apps. After rebooting, the device system will delete app leftovers. It will solve your problem of not disappearing from the list.

Need Help with Link2SD Missing Apps

I have Samsung galaxy S2 duos phone. Been using Link2Sd app version 4.0.12 for a while. I've linked most of my apps to second partition of type ext4. It was working fine with no issues. But now after a reboot almost all my linked applications are missing and some apps are shown in app drawer with an SD symbol. When I try to open them, it says "App not installed". When I press cleanup 2nd partition it shows the missing apps in there. This is more like the links are broken. Is there a way to link them back? Please help me out. I have like 100 applications missing.

Strange. You or something has changed settings. Doesn't happen on its own.
Check your default apps and that it is set correctly:
Settings>>>App Management>>>>Default App
Check Phone is set to "system default". If not go into the list and select.
Hope that works.
If not...looks like a factory reset or update via recovery
Had the same issue.
I fixed it by going into "Settings>>>App Management>>>>Default App" and then change the System Launcher back to the default one that comes with the phone. I was using Microsoft Launcher before. Then, find the Phone Manager app and run it.
This is absolutely stupid. No idea why you can't run the same app in a different launcher. Oh well.

a common issue
Sometimes the phone manager App doesn't come pre-installed, install it from play store.
For me, I clicked phone manager and then a message came out: Error 101. What is that?

A quick search helps:
Solve Error Code 101 in Google Play Store
The error 101 occurs due to the memory issue, which can be ROM / SD-card storage / Cache memory. But this error mostly gets solved by deleting some unused apps or by freeing the SD card memory.
Solution 1: Free memory card space by deleting unused Apps or content. Also, free up the Phone internal storage. It should solve the problem.
Solution 2: Remove the Google Account and open the Play store again and log in.
Solution 3: Uninstall Play store Updates Go To Settings Select Manage Applications or APPS Manager Tap on ALL Scroll and Look for “Google Play Store” Clear Cache and Data Click on Force Stop Select Uninstall Updates Reboot you phone and try again
Solution 4: Clearing cache and Data for Google Apps Go to Settings Select to Application Manager or Apps Under All , look for Google Services Framework Clear Data Cache and Click Force Stop NOW do the Same With Google PLAY STORE, Google Play Services, Download Manager Reboot your Phone, it should be working fine now.
