[Q] Link2sd not working properly - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people!
I´ll like to ask something that has been bothering me; here´s some context:
I have a very very low end android phone (motorola xt303) and it was working the best it could, i was using link2sd normally (with an issue that i will tell you in a moment)... then the power button failed, i took it to waranty and they change the motherboard, basically i have a "new" phone now (On the inside xD)
Here´s the thing when i got my phone back, i rooted it and installed link2sd right away , i formated the 2nd partition of the SD before all of that, but now when i´m trying to link the apps i have a problem: if i just pick Link application it would work but if i choose to also link dalvik caché and libraries it won´t work, it would tell me: "Fail Create_link.blablablablablalbla: I/O error" - Check attached image.
What i´m doing or what i did wrong? before waranty i could link both dalvik and the libraries.
-And the other issue i had before (and now) was that even if linked most of my apps (Had in the internal storage the basics and most used (no more than 40MB) it would took my memory and ended up without space again (i had a bunch of apps tho), but i´ve found on foroums people who have many apps and most of the internal space avaliable.
I will really appreciate any help,.
Pd: if there´s something that you don´t fully understand about my writing i´ll try to explain to you (English is not my native lang)
Pd2: Really googled and searched here before posting but couldn´t really find anything that helps with my problem

No clue?

2 Questions (MoDaCo 3.0)

Hello Guys,
I'm pretty new to all the Custom Rom things around here...
Yesterday I've installed the new MoDaCo 3.0 version for my hero, i had 2.3 or what so ever. I installed the rom, and then formatted my sd-card up to EXT4 via the adb tool. I'm sorry i can't remember if i first formatted or i first put on the new rom.
The thing is: in the List it says that Apps2SD is fully included in the update. I was not able to find the changes.... i tried it my self afterwards by installing the 2 files with a terminal, but the app2sd says its not working i should read the tutorial.(which i have) although it says 100mb space free now... and before the update all my progs filled up to 30mb.
So Q1: how do i install this version right?
and Q2: i still don't get any animations for my htc Clock (with the flipping pages) and i couldn't find any preferences. how do i get it to work? (and is there a prog where i can choose all my preferences, i get the feel i can't change all the things in the HTC-Preferences Dialog.
I Hope someone understands my problems ;-)
can you please state the exact error message from apps2sd?
it should work automatically on mcr. try to partition your sdcard again (btw i'd suggest ext2), then wipe and reflash mcr. that's it, the rest is taken care of. if you still think you have problems please search for it, there are numerous threads where i explained in details how you can check whether it is working or not.
as for q2: can also be covered by a search. in short: no animations any more.
thanks for the input, search actually did help me out for the clock problem ;-) (no possible on modaco hehe)
and I'll try the formatting and re-rom again, hopefully it works.
thx!
great place here

[Q] Big problem with my Folio

Hi all, I need some help with my Folio 100. I have installed V1.3b FolioMod on my tablet and apparently everything works OK, all the applications work fine, Wifi is Ok........ but I've noticed that have stopped responding both SDcard slot as the USB port. I tried by all means go back to the stock mod but no way to do it since it seems not to find the SD.
In addition, reviewing the tablet with the file manager seems to be nothing in the internal storage (or folders or files). I´ve tried to connect with my computer using the mini usb port but I can´t.
Could anyone help me to recover my Folio????
Thanks and sorry for my english but It´s rusty
Try removing the battery for at least 5 minutes or so.
Hi Nemo0815, thanks for your response. I have removed the battery for half an hour and no change has happended.
Cheking the Folio in the device storage settings I have found that the total space in the internal storage is 0.00B and I don´t know where is the storage space.
Regards.
this happened once for me too, i just removed the battery, waited 30secs while holding power button down, so i could drain it for all remaining power..
inserted battery and all was ok, and usb was working again.
looks like he's having the filesystem-not-mounting bug.
Hi Dexter_nlb, I have tried your suggestion and the problem is still there.
I´m thinking if the problem could be in relation with the missing storage capacity.
Thanks.
pasting from first post of foliomod thread:
V0.0+ Generic format internal storage for all mods (so far) here, only needed if you got internal storage problems.
Rename downloaded patch to update.zip and install using recovery.
see if that one helps.
uh.. silly me... you have no way of getting it on there :S
you could try to remount using ADB, but i have no clue on how.. it should be somewhere in the foliomod-thread though.
Hi kepler1982, problem is the Sdcard slot don´t work.

you can always reach it with adb and a folioMod installed, through recovery..
so if you can install adb (android sdk tools) + the proper driver, you can at least login and see what is wrong..
but if a sdcard slot is not working at all, that can also be your sdcard not supported, many others has the "16GB" problem using NTFS formatted cards.
make sure the sdcard is fat32 formatted, make sure you put a "update.zip" in the root, when recovery should try and find it..
Hi kepler and Dexter. I´m installing SDV but I never used it before. Some help with this tool are welcomed.
Thanks

Yep maybe it's better for you to have a look in the foliomod topic, in the android dev. section. there you can read what is already possible

read the wiki's opened, those are there to help in such cases..
Hi, I had this problem once and I solved it like this :
1. Extract SD card.
2. Wipe your device, with the blue screen etc
3. Then install FolioMod 1.3d
For me it works, but yes i know all your data will be gone after this...
By the way, thank so much to you Dexter who transform my Folio in a great device. Keep going on !
Same problem
Hi, I have the same proble and symtoms are:
· No sdcard (neither internal nor external). In this state, update fails, because external SD card can't be reached. I've tried FolioMod13d, FolioStock and File system format, but they fail.
· Tablet sometimes starts, but you can't do anything, because neither internal storage is not available, nor external.
· Cannot reach tablet through ADB, because USB link cannot be stablished.
· Have tried extracting battery, pushing on/off button, internal "reset" pin point, putting a piece of paper, tighting screws... no result
· Sometimes, when starting, starts vibrating and keeps all time like that, untill you stop the device.
· And sometimes, tablet even doesn't start, you get only black screen. Other times, you got start screen, but flashing "Android" does not appear.
All things had been tryed on full battery and low battery. Non starting problem appears often when low battery.
Sugestions?
I have to say that your Folio seems to be be very capricious, I never had so much problem with mine.
If you can't switch it on and if it's still cover by warranty try to bring it back to your seller.
Sorry to be unable to help you...

[Q] Help to install apps into SD (stable method)

Hello to everyone;
To start with I suppose I must introduce myself:
My name is Manu from México and I am a proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy Ace since three months ago.
During this time I had played with it and its stock ROM with 2.3.4 from carrier Telcel, I rooted it and removed bloatware from the carrier, the result was really nice; even thou after some apps the internal space run out, and therefore the responsiveness of my phone also got cluttered.
About a week ago or so I decided to go beyond and flashed "CyanogenMod 7.1-cooper-KANG-RC1 Android 2.3.7" so I tested it for a while and even thou I found many improvements, many bugs were unbearable for the phone use I’m used to; so I switched back to a Stock Rom and flashed "S5830SERKPO" with 2.3.5. and my regional modem.
In addition I did this process to Deodex + root "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118048&highlight=DEODEX” the result in my personal opinion is very good, but I’m back to the beginning. IM RUNNING OUT OF SPACE FOR INTERNAL STORAGE AND THE PHONE STARTS TO ACT LAGGY
I have read about s2e, link2sd and darktremor a2sd; where is require to partition your SD (which I already have also done with CMW at no avail) and I have finally ended up with a program called Install Manager 3.5.1 which promises to do move apps to SD (as far as they are executed locally from an .apk file and not market)
So... after this entire intro, and to avoid any flaming against me: I have read many many posts and have ended up overwhelmed and more confused.
¿Can someone please help me into the best way (in terms of stability and performance) to manage my apps to the SD card with a stock ROM?
(If possible a detailed explanation please, remember I have Stock "S5830SERKPO" with 2.3.5. and my regional modem)
Thanks a lot.
Also let me say I had read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172684
But I get lost into "make sure the rom supports it" and therefore not sure if this applies to S5830SERKPO 2.3.5
Well, seems that my post is getting to much attention yet... still, I have an update; today during the course of the day, two times the phone screen turns off and it does not come back until I remove the battery.
The phone continues to work... (the radio still plays, calls continue, etc) just the screen turns off without any means to turn it on.
Hope someone can guide into how to find a better solution for my need.
Probably the easiest way to fix that is to install a ROM from the dev section (make sure it supports A2SD) Cyanogenmod is not official for our Ace, wich means lots of bugs, but other Customs Roms should be ok for you.
Create a ext4 and swap with CWM in your sd card (reboot into recovery, advanced, create sd partitions) Open the A2SD app and turn the swap on, move applications.

Hyundai A7HD - Internal Storage damaged

My Tablet (Hyundai A7HD) with CM9 (unofficial) started behaving very strange.
It doesnt recognize my sd card, nor its own internal nand storage anymore. (Apps from Google Play can still be installed on its App partition tho)
I dont know what to do, since i cant even flash an update through CWM anymore without a functioning storage medium.
the sd card works fine on my pc and i cant format the internal storage through my tablet.
what else can i do to fix this?
I already made a post about this (more than a month ago) where someone advised me to use ADB. But that doesnt work, so i installed Connectbot, which works.
The person who told me to install it back then stopped replying, and even after posting in that thread to keep it alive, i recieved no more replies. So maybe with this new thread someone might be able to help me.
I am grateful for any help you can offer.
once ever met SD card unread,but some trouble like you seems if it couldnt solved by reboot ,it would be a serious matter that might not ONLY the system damage.maybe hardware damaged

Im not sure it actually is hardware, since the app-space should only be a partition of the NAND storage. If this partition works, i think the hardware should be fine.
does factory default work ?do it,May fix the software reason.if no effect,send it to factory and fix it:what:this might the last measure you can do.
sent from my 中华 phone
Factory reset and normal firmware update dont work anymore because cm9 is installed.
Tablet is from china, so no warranty.
i find many people had Chinese device,honesty,i was a college student from China.and i wish i can help anyone who has problem about Chinese device ,app,....language translation....but seems i couldnt help you this time@_@the hardware should be in trouble
sent from my 中华 phone
I still think its only a software issue, to be honest.
I think this might just be fixable.
I also think so,i searched your device in Chinese page but failed to find any useful info for your problem,sorry
sent from my 中华 phone
Still, i thank you very much!
Maybe someone else has any idea how to make this work again!
i sure hope so...
EDIT: I finally managed to flash it back to stock!
Apparently my anti-virus program prevented Livesuit from flashing it!
Now everything works beautifully again!
Im so happy right now ; )

[Q] sd card not mounting problem in CWM

I´ve rooted my Sola, installed CWM (touch 5.5.0.4), cleared cache, data, etc. but when I started to installa zip I found that CWM would no longer see my external SD card. It did see the ext_sd one time, but no longer. I have tried two different cards, both FAT32. I can´t even start android normally any longer, it just goes into a bootloop so I can´t just go and put the files on the internal storage.
Please someone help me, either tell me how I can use a computer to access the internal storage on the Sola without having to turn it on (then I can just put the files into the internal memory and install from there)... OR
tell me how I can get CWM to recognise my external SD cards.
Spent my whole day off on this, getting very desperate. Also it seems like my phone wont even charge anymore (can you charge whilst just in CWM?) and I´m down to 19% so I´m doubly desperate.
Thanks in advance.
OK, I half fixed it, I had enough battery to use flashtool to reinstall the generic ftf, but I´m still stuck on how to use the ext_sd.
Well in the end I managed to install what I wanted, but warning to others, if you are using the CWM in the Sola forum it does not seem to work with the external SD card, well not for me anyway. So put all your zips on the internal memory. Then it works fine.
BTW. Gingerbean is awesome, so silky fast and smooth. I was so disappointed in my update to stock ICS: constant hanging, crashing, dropped calls. Now I´ve been running Gingerbean for a week now (thanks again Diego910) and it´s stable, fast, calls don´t hang, everything works (wifi did not work on the first install, but on the second install it did), battery is better.... I haven´t tried any of the custom ICS builds so I can´t give a fair comparison, but I don´t need to try them now as GB is fast enough for everything I want. Install instructions are a bit vague though.
To who you talking ?
No one is responding here and you talk to yourself .. Lol
Kinda useless, or you just make this thread to get 10 posts.
Sent From Cybertron With My Powerfull Xperia P
Talking with you now init, lol.
not really interested in getting ten posts. but did want to share what I learnt from installing a new rom on my phone, maybe it helps someone else and they don´t have to spend as many frustrated hours as I did installing the damn thing. It probably seems very easy to you as you look like an expert on this matter, but when you are a new it is really complicated and time consuming as there is all this new terminology (flashtool/cwm, root/bootloader unlocking, ftf/zip. kernel/rom/???, etc), a million different ways of doing the same thing, lots instructions from different people that often contradict each other and the ever possible chance of bricking your phone. So if what I wrote in a minute saves someone a few hours, then it´s not pointless to me.
