SD Card APKs are invisible. Halp! - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

I used my own SDcard to install ROM on my GF's X10 Mini Pro.
Everything went good, but since then my Ace can't find any APK installed on SDcard. I didn't remove anything, didn't change anything. There are my apps marked as "On SD Card" in App Manager but with weird sdcard icon and I can't open them, it causes FC.
Is there a way to fix that? Do I have to install them again?

You use a2sd ?

I rebooted my phone several times.
And unfortunately I use 2GB 2nd class...
Maybe some wipe will be usefull?
I mean dalvik cache or partition cache.

you can try I dunno also if you have an ext partision bakup stuff on sd card and format sd on tha rom not cmw then tha ext partision will be gone then retry
GOOD LUCK!

Ok guys, I'm going to flash new ROM and put all things for the beginning because I can't find any workaround.
This thread can be deleted, because there is nothing important.
Thanks for replies.

Try a2sd ?

What class your micro sd have?
Are the apps icon not available on app drawer or on manage application screen to?
Can you still view regular file such as photos on your micro sd?
Can you access SD card? (/sdcard/*)
What ROM do you have? (custom one, original one)
Have some tweaks in it enabled?
Are you using EXT partition?
Do you have custom recovery?

Hmmm, than I can't help for now. I didn't find any information about how it works. I have some experience with using of EXT, mount it into system and remap old app folder to use extended one. Bu I don't know, if this app do this by same way...
Don worry.Its not too big a problem.I had this problem before too.I had to fix it the hard way and that is to format it.So,move your important files to your laptop or pc first.Redownload the apps again.Your sd card may be 'contaminated' I guess. That's my solution for you.Hope it helps.

Make sure that you are using an SD card with ECC. I've had 3 non-ECC cards go corrupt beyond repair after ~3-6 months. I've used a Transcend Class 6 ECC card for 9 months with no issues.

how can i move the whole app to sd

i'm working with stock froyo
link2sd i think doesn't move the the whole
app ( i tick app , delvik and lib
data) ,
ii hv epocrates whic is 2MB and 45 MB
date , link2sd moves only the 2 mega and
leaves 45 on my internal memory ,
same with angry birds .only move 1 mega to sd and leaves 12 mega on my internal memory
move 2 sd enabler and apps2sd i think they do the same
my phone is useless if i didn't find definitive
solution to the low memory issue

Try move2sd enabler and app2sd too. Maybe it helping(dont know exactly anymore), if not, they do not do any damaging to your phone. If not helping you just can unistall them then(TRY them)!

Jep, I read, just saying it to be shore. Then I think you try to FLASH you FROYO again and try then. It was worked to me before I was in FROYO! Was installed move2sd enabler, then run it, but EXTERNAL. Install app2sd, then JUST run it and you can close it. Now install link2sd(and OF COURSE you must be ROOTED, with two partitions in SD[FAT32 & EXT2]). And it must be working or you doing something wrong. SORRY!

finally I found the way to move the whole app to the sd card, i Have froyo 2.2.1 stock what you have to do is this:
-root your phone
-Make a partition to the sd card, FAT32 and ext2
-install move2sd enabler
then install move2sd and select EXTERNAL
-install link2sd and select ext2 and reboot
-after rebooting open link2sd and select the app you want to move, it say on sd (froyo way) select manage and move to phone select the app again and select create link, select the 3 checks, make the link, select app again, manage, move to sd card, your memory will increase a little bit with each app...
worked for me,,,

thnx a lot bro
did it 10 days ago and working great
but i hv both pattitions fat32 not ext2 ( didnt work for me)
but i got important app had 45 mb data on phone memory . how cn i move data to sd ? the app is epocrates medical
tried data2sd but it has many bugs
btw why the memory decreases slowly despite using move2sd enabler and link2sd ¿???
Well the cache and data keep on increasing as you use browsers and games....titanium backup has the option of moving data of each app to sd...if u have darktremors apps2sd there is a data2sd command

Can't install big apps from market

Hi, I just bought some apps in the 10 billion downloads promo, but I can't install any app that weights more than 20mb, it says I don't have enough memory, but I do, I have 90mb on internal memory, and more on SD card. How can I fix this? By the way, I just screwed something in my phone, so I was forced to reflash CM7.1, but the problem persists.

move cache to sd using darktremors a2sd script......
______________________________
Press thanks if i helped
Hmm I just installed it, but I can't get it to work, tried A2SD gui, but it gives me an error, I also tried "a2sd check" in terminal, but I'm getting lots of "/sbin/busybox: Permission denied" errors. Tried 2 versions of A2SD, the one from CF-root thread, and newest one from darktremor site.
Do you have root ?

never encountered tht but here is how i managed to run dtapps2sd :
1) install new rom n wiping data cache etc.
2)reboot in recovery ... mount system ... install dtapps2sd.zip...
3)reboot system ..... go to terminal emulator n type a2sd install......
Yep, if I didn't, I couldn't install a2sd in the first place.
None of these instructions helped me. The problem is a combination of issues related to Samsung's devices and the Market application's design.
What did was a simple app from the Market called "MarketFix." (Requires root.) It moves your Market app cache from the device to your SD card FAT32 partition.

Yeah, what he said. Install S2E to move the Dalvik Cache to the SD freeing more internal memory than any other app.
Here's a screen shot of S2E working its magic on my phone;

S2E is only for CynogenMod.
You can try using Link2SD, its good too.

That still limits you to about 24 MB max on a download, even if you can miraculously end up completely clearing the cash.
MarketFix app from android market completely eliminates the problem.
Well, something got screwed up, and sd-ext doesn't want to automatically mount on boot, and the script I made to mount it doesn't work. BUT MarketFix took care of this error, and now I can install those apps Thanks IrishRed.

"partition " u mean
u can partition your sd card using cwm 5 ...they are many you tube guides go watch them ...and for installation of apps on sd card why dont u use "S2E" ...its free in the market and compatible ONLY with cm7 ...it saves a lot of internal storage ( move dalvik cache to sd card) cheers
Edit: you should remember that cwm will FORMAT your sd card!!! backup your data first!!!!

7.You will see your hard drives and your sd card.
8. Right click on sd card and click delete. Then again right click and Create.
9.Select "File System:" FAT when you have 2GB or smaller card.
Select "File System:" FAT32 when you have 4GB or greater card.
10.Dont select the whole volume. Select for example if you have 4GB card select 3GB if you want your sd-ext to be 1GB
11.When you are done.Again right click on the sd card and create ext2 or ext3 partition.Then select the full volume allwoed.
12.Make sure that this volume is enough for all apps on your phone.

what is the point of having this sdext partition? almost every app can by installed on sdcard :/
i have all my apps on phone memory and i have still over 130MB free, when i get close to fill up memory i will move apps to sd with android app manager built in.
You can moove all apps and its data on teh sd-ext partiton. That way you have 300mb free on inital and android still recognizes the apps as on initial.So widgets work

but why would i have 300mb free? isnt it supposed to be used? like if u have 300$ and just looking at it and not spend it if it was ram that we could use for more smooth gaming then i would do it, but flash memory free laying unused?
