Hi all,
If you are going to say we don't need Apps2SD on the N1, please leave the thread now . (Actually, read on) There are various reasons I can think of why we need Apps2SD on the N1, and one of the biggest is actually Games. I don't really play any games to begin with, but the last I checked, some games are as large as 19MB, possibly more. Isn't it kind of crappy that the N1, the superphone, can't hold more than 10 such games?
I started this thread with the intention of gathering more information, and hopefully some coders will do it (including myself, if I've the time). Package Manager (the thing in charge of installing, if I'm not wrong), is in the AOSP, under frameworks/base. In such a case, wouldn't it be possible for some programmer to mod it such that it will ask you whether to install to (SD/Phone) before each installation process?
The other issue is, looking at current implementation of A2SD, it seems all apps on Phone are moved to the SD card partition. If we can have an implementation that allows both to co-exist, in addition to the Package Manager mod, I'd say we'll have a pretty nice implementation.
Your thoughts/findings? I may be completely off, have yet to actually look at the AOSP source.
Update:
@ChrisSoyars has an early implementation of this in his SnackPack - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=638301
I would also like to thank everyone else for their valuable input and support ! Keep them coming. Lastly, sorry I'm not doing much code-wise (not at all), school work's too much .
Would be nice!
....I've got the same problem. Some application are very big and so i have got only 10MB free space anymore...

that doesnt work on roms like the desire by modaco. app2sd doesnt work, ive tried that method and it just hangs. true there is a thread already for app2sd, but its not going anywhere in terms of the newest desire release. i know its still early, but i only had like 50mb for apps and i have over 120 apps and i didnt feel like reinstalling. someone fix it please.
Apps to SD is of course necessary. The Nexus doesn't really have that much space for apps - about 190mb which is only the same as the Hero.
I have apps 2 SD working with CM 5.0.3 from the kitchen.
its also addable to a CM rom using the how to thread.
It WAS working ok with MoDaCo ROMS but for some reason has ceased to work and causes bootloops if you bake it in - shame...
I've no coding experience, but willing to test stuff out anytime.....

i think what Wysie is trying to do is stimulate discussion about a different way to do A2SD.
He, and a lot of people believe (including myself) that running apps from the sd makes them slower, so what he wants is like WM where when you install an app it gives you an option to install it either onthe device or on the sd. So you can choose to install your most used and apps that require speed the most on your device...
And if this isnt thread development where the hell should he have posted it? It certainly is development if you ask me. he is thinking of ways to develop a better A2SD.
Seems like unionfs + some kind of app to manage which apps live where might work. This would require kernel support, however. You would set up /data/app and /data/app-private as union mounts of (say) /data/app-internal with /sdcard/app and /data/app-private-internal with /sdcard/app-private. You would then want a custom app management tool to move things to the appropriate places.
Nice initative Wysie.
My suggestions are as follows:
Use a different mount point, not inside any of the other file systems.
Like /apps2sd, this makes it alot easier to handle in the recovery realm (which is what I care about).
As for handling the specific apps installed in either /data/app or /apps2sd I suggest we have a look at something simple. Like symlinking individual apps.
Ext filesystem is mounted on /apps2sd on boot.
New installs of apps are done in /data/app like normally. /data/app is not symlinked to the apps2sd directory like it is today.
If a user want a app to be stored on apps2sd instead of in /data/app a management app can just move the .apk from /data/app to /apps2sd and set up a symlink it up into /data/app again.
Simple demonstration:
Initial state, two apps installed normally:
/data/app:
SomeApp.apk
SomeOtherApp.apk
/apps2sd
<empty>
Now the user moves SomeApp to apps2sd:
/data/app
SomeApp.apk -> /apps2sd/SomeApp.apk (symlink)
SomeOtherApp.apk
/apps2sd
SomeApp.apk
If this is possible, i.e. making sure that Android doesn't bork on symlinked apps (can't see why it would, but best to make sure). This is clean simple way handle it. It gives more control on what apps are stored where, better handling of ext stuff in recovery.
Also writing scripts/apps to facilitate this is trivial since it's so simple.
What do you think? Want input especially from ROM makers.

Okay, that's better than my idea, assuming it works. One disadvantage is that removing the SD card breaks all the links. You could conceivably swap cards with the unionfs approach, as long as you were not using any widgets or launcher icons which rely on APKs in the SD storage, and had a way to properly unmount the disk. Might not be worth the complexity, though.
I think the biggest issue is with regards to removal of SD card. You guys have made it way more complex than I thought, thanks for enlightening/sharing !
I thought it could be as simple as simply modifying the Apps2SD script to allow apps to exist on both the sdcard and the phone, and then modifying the Package Manager to prompt the user on where to install to. Keep those thoughts/opinions coming!
If it wasn't for my school work and lousy time management i'd definitely start doing something. For now, it's good enough if all the necessary knowledge is shared here, then some dev can actually start work and put it on github or something for the rest of the community to contribute!
i haven't looked deeply into android's files. but i've worked on hacking motorola phones to engineer a packet manager system. (EZX phones)
i believe the solution that we want isn't with the use of symlink or that sort. we should aim to find a clean, programmatic way of doing it - built to the heart of android.
any idea how android am manage the apps on the phone? is there an sqlite app db or something? how does it store the installed applications information?

Well, you have to remember that the solution should work on stuff that we do not have source access to, like people wanting to use on ported ROMs or a rooted stock ROM.
I tried to simlink apk's but for some reason it didn't work, simlink the app directory works.
I think the best way would be to add paths in the program that actually searches/launches the apps (my guess would be that's in framework.jar)
Currently it looks in /system/app, /data/app & /data/app-private there should not be any technical reason why it couldn't look in a forth directory. this way you can keep the imporant/most used apps in the flash and large/less used on the sdcard...

Again, this is the problem. A general technique suitable for XDA-type applications must require only root or changes to GPL code. You can't touch the framework, which can (and does) have proprietary branches.

i would say that we have no choice but to implement it without considering those groups. however, i do suggest that we should make the implementation compatible, just that, on modded frameworks like cyan, it works to the fullest.

Unionfs is not available for android devices without kernel sources.
Concerning ported rom, I am not sure the package installer get modified by vendors. So it may be possible to implement the changes done to aosp code using baksmali.
So my two cents are:
- modify AOSP sources to have android lookup at /sd/app for apps
- modify package installer to have it asks where to install apps
Sure the removing of sdcard problem is still there. I don't know how we can ever handle a straight manual remove of it. It implies big modifications to AOSP sources to have the system aware of missing applications that have existing home shortcuts or widgets, so it "hides" them until app is back...
Anyway we can start implementing the functionality and look after for that sdcard removal problem.
I've been thinking of doing this for a while, has any progress been made?
I like the idea of modifying pm to prompt for the install location, I was thinking of just writing an app to manage that (but probably would be a good idea to have both).
If progress has been made, great, if not, I may start a fork of CM5's vendor tree for this.

Kernel sources are the one thing you most assuredly do have on all devices, at least if they're sold where copyright law can be enforced. No one needs to risk a lawsuit by intentionally violating GPL.

Well.. it is not the case in real life.... For eg, acer Liquid kernel sources they acer provided is unusable.
Just a clue for aosp source modification:
services/java/com/android/server/PackageManagerService.java:frameworks/base/ Log.d(TAG, "Scanning app dir " + dir
Hello! I want to ask you how to get real path of installed application. It would be awesome to get database of Applications Settings (i guess there are paths to each installed application). And I don't need general answers (like "they're installed in /system/app or /data/app") - I need to know where EXACTLY Android look for SPECIFIC installed app - a path to it.
do this:
getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo(getPackageName(), 0).sourceDir
Thank you for your help, it works!
And another method:
Go to /data/system/packages.list.

Does your SGS3 get detected under the Devices menu in UbuntuSDK? if so, go to build >> Ubuntu Touch >> Run Application on Device or just hit Ctrl+F12. if it isnt detected, i guess only the officially supported devices can run the apps.. contact me if u want to have a trial run of your app! il be happy to help! :laugh:

Well, there are bugs with the "Run Application on Device" feature. For example, it does not work with apps which have a C++ backend.
Workaround: Create a click package, adb push it to the device and pkcon install-local <mypackage>.click

At least it's the only workaround I know.
I don't understand it either. There are a lot of bug reports regarding the building process. Short selection of those which I found annoying:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtcreator/+bug/1215937
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu/+bug/1299817
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu/+bug/1299797
Note that you won't have these problems if you build the package from the command line.
Just build in chroot from Qt Creator. Use the terminal to navigate into the build directory of the chroot (usually in <build directory>/ubuntu-sdk-14.04-armhf) and run
Code:
click build .
Then you can install it as described above.
EDIT: Note that you won't have these problems if you stick to QML without C++. Then everything should work fine.
Hi ,
Yesterday, I installed ubuntu touch in my nexus 4 and decided to use it as my daily rom.
So, i tried to modify some settings. Everything is working well, however i have two problems.
The first one : I failed to synchronized contacts with syncevolutions. It's working but it synchronise only one or few contacs in my .csv file. As a solution i used google contacts sync. But if somebody have (or had) the same problem it can be interesting to share the solution with evryvody.
The second one : I tried to change the browser app settings, but it didn't work. I used these two websites to help me :
"bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/webbrowser-app/trunk/view/head:/README#L71" and
"lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg10301.html" I removed the first part, because i'm not able to post outside links.
According to the first website, we can change the homepage and the searche engine, you can use the second website to understand how to do it, i followed the instructions, but it didn't work for me. So, if somebody want to try or already have the solution, it would be amazing.
Thanks.
Edit : Apparently It is now possible to change the search engine directly in the browser (18 June update)
Although it's about calendar sync, this might be helpful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ubuntu-touch/help/calendar-app-doesnt-sync-t3054933

The file is automatically generated on devel-proposed build 166 now. However, it's called webbrowser-app.conf there.
If you're on the stable channel, expect that your browser settings will break in the future. However, you'll simply have to apply your changes to the new file then.
Hello,
I decided to install ubuntu touch again after all the new things they made.
However, changing the browser is no more working for.
I just wanted to know if there was another way to do it or if it was only my fault ?
Moreover, is that possible to uninstall preinstalled scopes like 7digital, amazon, ebay ... ?
@Remy.L There is just one browser for Ubuntu (except one third party browser). You can switch tabs by swiping up from the bottom edge though.
No, uninstalling preinstalled scopes isn't possible using the GUI as long as they aren't in the store.

Now I get what you mean with "changing the browser". There should be a settings option in the browser itself now (install the update from this week if you haven't already). Give it a try.
If there is still something you want to change manually, check out the contents of the browser's data directory. I think they renamed the settings file.

Sorry, i did not mean browser but search engine (replace google by duckduckgo).
I did not managed to have it working in the new version.
Anyway, do not bother you, i'm not using ubuntu touch anymore because i'm do not like that path they are taking with this OS (you can not uninstall what you do not want).
As i prefer to use open source software, the best thing to do now is to use an AOSP rom (or maybe firefox OS)

You could try removing them with the terminal-app like this:
Code:
sudo click unregister --user=phablet com.ubuntu.badscope
That should actually work. Pretty much everything can be uninstalled, even though not easily.

You need to find out the right package name of the amazon scope (given that it is installed as a click package, of course; I was unable to find it using "click list").
The reason why you don't see the option to change the search engine is that the devel builds are really, really outdated. I think they are half a year old or something like that. Either install the stable channel or devel-proposed.
Ok, thank you for all your answers, it may help a lot of people

Hi,
Yes, there's been a discussion about this on the ubuntu-phone mailing list recently. The reason why they can indeed not be uninstalled is that they are remote scopes with the code lying on a Canonical server and not on the device itself. I didn't follow the whole discussion, so if you are interested, check out the mailing list archive and you should be able to find the conversation within the first 5 pages.
Hi Nikwen,
So i checked your link and found what i needed
So yes, it is impossible to uninstall these scopes like you said, the only way is to keep it without using it.
But the thing i was thinking about is : If you do not use these scopes does it still get informations from you (in background) ? (because and do not want it to use my data continuously)
Sorry for all these questions
Have a nice day,
Remy
@Remy.L No, they won't be giving any information away. Scopes only run when they are in the foreground and even if they are, they are confined by a software called "apparmor", which means that they cannot access any data besides that which you enter into the search box. They don't have access to any of your private stuff.

Hi All !
Some of us do know the application a long time but others don't. Therefore this small GUIDE.
Removing system apps without root/unlocked can be done in a few ways like :
manually : with an ADB list and described HERE huge thnx @SirTAVARES
automatic : if you don't like to do it manually, you can use the ADB/Fastboot Tool which will do the job for you.
The XiaomiADBFastbootTools isn't explained in depth afaik and can do a lot more but I'll focus on the removal of those system apps.
HOW TO :
NOTE : do try some apps (not all at once) and see if the phone boots again - if you would have a problem you can always restore the onces you removed or perform a factory reset to restore all apps (as they are not really gone )
0. enable developer options to enable USB debugging ( go to settings/about phone/tap MIUI version 7 times to enable dev. options -> then go to settings/additional settings/ dev. options/enable USB debugging )
1. download the latest version HERE
2. run the .jar application
3. you'll get this screen
As you can see, the tool will start by default in ADB. You'll see a bunch of apps you could de-install under the Uninstaller tab.
If you're sure which apps you want to de-install just check the ones you want and tab UNINSTALL
google where is the nearest gas station
TIP : try one first like Google Chrome f.e. and see if it works
EXAMPLE : Removal of Google Chrome :
Once removed you can check if the app is gone of your home screen apps or under settings/installed apps/tap the 3-dot sign to show all apps/ search for ''chrome'' and the app should be removed.
4. if you want the removed app(s) back, just tap the Reinstaller and check the ones you want to re-install. Easy right !
Once re-installed your Chrome app will appear again on your home screen/app list
5. TIP : before removing, check the app name under settings/installed apps/show all apps/tap on an app and tap the Ⓘ to get the app info
Other functions :
1. As you probably noticed besides running in ADB, this tool can easily boot into Fastboot, Recovery, System or EDL.
When booting into Fastboot you can see some other functions you can apply. Be aware of the risks applying things under fastboot !
2. Very useful option is the possibility to push, pull ,... apps/folders with FILE EXPLORER. Just tap OPEN and you can easily perform some actions afterwards.
(ignore the KB sizes - once pulled you'll get the right folder/apks )

That is what I downloaded...Win version. I unzipped and then tried to open but it does not work.

You don't need unzipped. Download the version .JAR an run it. I made this way
Evidently I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. Nothing opens

Lets go from begining:
- First thing that I did, I uninstalled all versions of Java;
- Second, (I made this way, you can jump this step) - reboot my laptop;
- Third, I installed the latest version (in this moment is version 8, update 221) - I installed both 32 bits (x86) and 64 bits (x64);
- Fourth, run the tool (just download .JAR version) and clicked with right botton for open with Java.
When I right click nothing asks to open it in java
If you have java installed, then just a double click on the XiaomiADBFastbootTools-6.5.1.jar is enough.
Opens in 7z

Probably you made 7zip as default app. Right botton, "open with...", choose Java
