No any work around found. Tryied all workaround like installing init.d toggler also no use. So i, flash my cm11 backup. Using cm11 now. (between i dont like lollipop visuals and stock rom is no extra features, not even xposed will work so i use cm12 only when arrive)
After flashing Cm11 i found on the Web that in twrp recovery go to advanced and select fix permission and try mounting link2sd but before you do take full nandroid backup.. If brick happens....

I just installed the latest link2sd update. It first shows partition not mounted then shows an error message and shows the option to recreate mount scripts or quick reboot because the mount script is loaded after system startup and after quick reboot second partition is really mounted. I think after every reboot this quick reboot is necessary , but at least its now working.
And apps2sd is working for all the apps.

What partition you using? .,ext2, ext3, ext4,fat32?
Please tell how you mountend step by step
Are you able to link apps?

I think i found the error guys the problem related to lollipop is older version of lollipop.
By version 4.0 this problem vas solved.. .. Anyone plz try and reportback.. ..

It still doesn't automatically mount the second partition. Boots up, shows the error, after quick reboot, it then starts working. I guess init.d scripts aren't working at all. They are not at all mounted at boot no matter what. Tried init.d toggler, enabler and what not, nothing works at all. Problem is with lollipop probably.

I am using ext4 . And yes I can link apps now. I didn't do anything special. Its just like after booting once it needs to quick reboot once again to mount the second partition and then the linked apps appear. Its still not perfect but its working. I would not suggest to link any important apps , I am only linking games and theme apks etc. so that if something goes wrong it doesn't matter.

What do you mean by this? Are you trying to say that after we have lollipop, we have to go to twrp recovery and fix permissions and then try back link2sd and it would work then? Where did you find this info? Can you please provide the link?

Here http://forums.androidcentral.com/general-help-how/387679-link2sd-ext4-xt303-problems.html refer 3rd post

Thanks but I dont think it's gonna work. Problem is not with permissions, problem is that init.d scripts are simply not run at boot at all and until and unless tht happens, nothing can be done. I used a test script which supposed to run at boot but it simply didn't run. I dont know whats going wrong with lollipop. I hope some senior member throws some light upon this issue and I hope the creator of link2sd is also listening.

[solved]
I confirmed that in lollipop build link2sd v4.0 released yesterday only work..
But one roblem there that after reboot u have to quick reboot everytime. This is I think bug in the init.d of the ROM not the link2sd fault...
It's up to mfn subscribers to report this bug as soon to make sure final build will come buggless........
If I am wrong..correct me.

I tried with ext4.. On thing is after restart dont creat another mount script.. simply go to reboot and chose quick reboot. .. .

But my phone restarts itself outta nowhere in every ROM! There was no Xposed module installed nor any other apps who want root permissions (I installed fresh KitKat 4.4.4 but still)
My main point is, it doesn't soft reboot, which makes all linked apps disappear after booting up. Any fix for this? (My phone was fell on the floor once which made it's screen cracked and I can't hear any audio anymore. I put the new screen but... :/ I don't think it'll be related to all of sudden reboots)

Link2sd was also working fine until i updated it, then it happened the same problem he mentioned in his post. To be more specific, was after reboot that i noticed that problem, almost all my apps were missing (all that were linked didnt showed in app drawer), in link2sd was that mount error. Just to be sure, i made a clean rom install on the phone, installed link2sd, rebooted to install/detect the 2nd partition, no problems so far, installed an app, linked it, the app was working so the linking worked. Rebooted the phone, after that reboot, the mount problem attacked again. after everytime i rebooted, link2sd got the same error again and again, i tryed with boot recovery formating and with a PC partition formating tool. I had the previous version backuped, installed it and problems disappeared. Some guys complained about the same in a portuguese forum. the conclusion they reached was when link2sd programmer(s) fixed the 2nd partition bug for some devices, some others started to have that problem.

[Q] CWM Recovery on Galaxy Player 4.2 {Related to No WiFi}?

Hello there guys so I'm here because I did a very silly mistake related to the CWM for the Galaxy Player 4.2 (Or at least that's what I think I did ).
Related to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39344227
Anyway I'm not familiar with CWM since the Galaxy Player 4.2 is my first Android device ( And is not like the device has been easy on us right ), my device is rooted and the problem is that I already got the Kernel on my device and as expected I'm without WiFi. How can I configure the CWM Recovery without WiFi, if not, how can I get WiFi back?.
Sorry for bothering with dummy questions/mistakes and thanks in advance .

Can I flash the fix without CWM, for example with Odin?. I'm having a really hard time here, since I was dumb enough to install the Kernel without configuring the CWM before or at least making sure I could do it without the WiFi. Now the problem is when I want to flash with Rom Manager it says I need the recovery since I'm not a premium but again in order to get the recovery I need WiFi internet :/.

Wow it's the first time I see somebody having more problems with CWM than odin (no offense). Actually all you need to do is to put the patch into your device and then boot into CWM. Once into CWM, go into install zip from sdcard, then chose zip from sdcard and chose your patch zip. Once you choose it, you will see a bunch of no and one yes, check yes and it will patch it. Once it's done, reboot your device.
Hope it helps.
I'd like to know if flashing the kernel with CWM will make loose data, apps and preferences ? Thanks.

You're right, it works fine ! Now I have a question : I tried a backup in CWM, system and data have been backed up, but neither applications nor cache.
I got the following error messages :
Code:
No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage.
Backing up cache...
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Any idea ?

/sdcard/.android_secure is the directory of the download of big apps (for example apps like nova or subway surfers I think) Cache has been backed up. Don't worry, all your things has been backed up.

Man, I feel so stupid right now . I managed to run the CWM boot now when I try to install the zip the update. Says:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
Maybe I should tell you everything I did just in case.
I had the device already rooted.
Flashed the kernel
Installed the CWM v5.0.2.7
Transfered the Fix zip to sdcard
then I did everything you said and also tried to disable verification and still failed.
Sorry to be bothering U_U.
Ok I finally fixed everything... It was my external sd after all, it wasn't functioning properly. Tried with another Sd card and now it's working. Thanks you for your patience and help

So I suppose that I've no such apps, as I don't have any .android_secure directory in /

Problem with cyano 10.1 and razr xt910 jb

hi guys.. i have a big issue with my razr when i try to use cyanogenmod ( the official one obviously)
the problem is quite simple..i use safestrap to install the custom rom in rom slot1, i flash the rom and gapps, i wipe cache/dalvik cache ( so i do everything that should be done) but when i try to use google now (in particular the voice search) google search close down and it doesn't worked...this happened even when i was on official 4.0.4 and even now that i'm on 4.1.2....i have noticed that in the stock rom if i get "motorola service" unistalled, google voice doesn't work anymore... ( and even in this case with the stock rom i'm the only one who has this problem)
but with cyanogenmod 10.1 ,which is a modified rom installed in a different partition i really can't understand why it doesn't work to me!! ( i've already asked in other italian's forums if someone else had the same problem, but i'm still the only one..)
how can i solve it?
p.s. sorry for my imperfect english :crying:
ok guys, problem solved by myself updating the app/ reinstalling it
i have another question...is there any possibility to have only cyanogenmod on the device instead of dual boot with safestrap? or is it impossible? :silly: (stupid locked bootloader :crying: )

done it this afternoon :good: at the first restart i have had to fight a lot with my phone to boot properly, but with rc2 it works very fine! and i also have more free space in rom partition :good: and obviously in data partition because of less bloatware..
i have another small question about bmm, maybe you can help me...before doing what i have just said , i installed cyanogenmod in system 2, then i have format the partition ,wiped everything and so on...i want to ask if after this format all the space in system 2 has been released
(sorry for my mechanical and uncorrect way of writing..when there are too many verbs my mind explodes :silly: )
edit : to work it without any problems, is important to wait before restart and to select "install bmm to main menu" in advanced settings

u better not mess around with the processes happening in bmm ( install bmm to main nemu) accept it if it asks
actually deleting system 2 does not release any space. that space was withheld by motorola for the webtop partition on EVERY phone
now that we dont use that space , it is used as a place to test roms on our phones AKA system 2
on the other hand safestrap does not use this and utilizes the internal sd partition to install roms

[Q] BMM Standard System choice?

Hey guys!
Have been running BMM a while now without any issues, and my phone has been running great on 4.1.2. Yesterday I installed AOKP 4.2.2, and the ROM itself works perfectly fine, but if I reboot my phone it always goes to System1. My AOKP is on System2.
This isnt that big of an issue, as I'll just use BMM to reboot to system2 (And lets be honest, how often do we actually turn our phones off..?) But nevertheless I'd like to have it boot straight to System2. I'm quite familiar with BMM, but can't seem to find a setting for this. I only find the reboot option to reboot to System2 out of recovery, and to switch to System2. What I want is to set which system it automatically boots to.
Can anyone give me a pointer to how I'd do this?
Thanks ahead of time to this great community!
I myself am having problems with BMM too. It is not as easy as SS3. Well at least for me I cannot delete the system 2 which I opened for another rom . Do you know how can I do that?
Hm, I don't know how you can delete it, or even if you can. What would be the purpose of deleting it? It wont be in the way or anything afaik.
Just Wanted to know if there is a way to do it. I searched it a lot. And the last time I deleted my internal storage :/ a good cleaning isn't it

In the app that you install in the system (Boot Menu Manager) you can choose the default system to boot. It's on the first page of the manager.
Do'h! It never occured to me to check in the app, just in the recovery.. Thanks a lot, that solved my problem!

when u reboot your phone press the android icon on the bmm splashscreen and go into settings. in there choose the system u want to delete and
select destroy. destroy all 3 (cache, system and data.
even i found bmm hard first but i feel it is much better than safestrap
That I cannot do on system 2. I tried it but there is no destroy on system 2. Only on System 1. I dunno why :/ I want to delete System 2 But there is only Activate Button.

you cannot delete system 2 since this is webtop partition and is made by motorola.
this was needed by GB. from ICS and above this feature is into the first system itself
therefore, activate it and flash a rom into it. SS cannot do that, it takes space from internal memory only
Going off topic - what's the size of your bmm nandroid (DUP) backup? I got somewhere near 680KB for a full backup!

[TWRP_Recovery_2.8.7.0][Unofficial][quincyatt]

I wanted to post this here since I've been busting my tail on an update for a week now. This WILL flash, Backup & Restore android 4.4 roms! USB mounting, internal & external sdcard mounts as well. There are still a few bugs to work out but give it a go & some feedback. It's still a WIP but plenty stable to use daily for now.
Also anyone interested in flashing the CandyKat sweetener packs, you may now do so with this recovery!!
TWRP 2.8.7.0​
I am not responsible for misuse, bricks, or exploding devices! Flash at your own risk! You can download the zip file & flash it from within your existing recovery & reboot to recovery.
CREDITS: Javelinanddart for fixing mounts, f2fs, & for fixing vibration for 5.0 & up Disconnecktie && Santod040 I have bugged these guys to death to get this working so Please stop in & thank these guys as well. They are a huge part of the success of this! Obviously this couldn't happen without Omniroms Source! And a huge thanks for
Dees_Troy for his guide to compiling twrp recovery!!
TWRP Themes have changed a bit & if you use a them then you'll want to checkout this link.
THEMING TWRP THE NEW WAY!
What's new in 2.8.7.0
- Initial ground work for software drawn keyboard (_that)
- Fix handling of wiping internal storage on datamedia devices (xuefer)
- Allow DataManager to set and read values from the system properties (xuefer)
- Fix crash when taking screenshots on arm64 devices (xuefer)
- Fix error message after an ORS script completes (Dees_Troy)
- Fix crashes / error when creating encrypted backups (_that, Dees_Troy)
- Add system read only option - more details below (Dees_Troy)
- Add resize2fs and GUI option to run resize2fs (Dees_Troy)
- Fix crash loop caused by empty lines in AOSP recovery command file (_that)
- Prevent duplicate page overlays such as multiple lock screens (mdmower)
System read only option: Devices that ship with 5.0 and higher as their initial OS are using block level OTA updates. With this style of OTA update, the update script checks to see if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. Further, the script also usually runs an SHA sum of the entire system partition to detect if any changes have been made. If any changes have been made, the OTA update will refuse to install. Since not all OEMs and devices have factory images available, we have created a new feature in TWRP that detects if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. If not, you will be prompted asking if you want TWRP to mount system as read/write. If you choose not to allow TWRP to mount as read/write, TWRP won't prompt to install SuperSU and TWRP won't try to patch the stock ROM to prevent TWRP from being replaced by stock recovery. The goal of this option is to hopefully allow the user to make a raw system image backup that they can use to get back to a state where they can take OTA updates again.
resize2fs feature: On some devices like the Nexus 6, the factory images include a userdata image that is the proper size only for the 32GB units. If you flash the factory image to a 64GB Nexus 6, the data partition will appear as if it only has the free space of a 32GB device. Using the resize2fs option, TWRP can resize your data partition to take up the full space available. The resize2fs may also be useful to resize system partitions on devices where custom ROM system images don't take up the full partition space. Lastly, resize2fs may be useful in some cases to reserve the proper space at the end of a data partition for a full disk encryption key, should your partition be formatted incorrectly for some reason.
This new version also marks our first set of full builds using our new jenkins build server.

Works well except mount memory

Mounting which partition? Anyone that finds an error or a bug should try posting the recovery log after said error. Don't post the entire log in a post but put it on pastebin or something similar. Having the logs greatly increases the likely hood the issue will be fixed. Thanks.

What do you mean by mount memory? Where you add something from the pc to the sd card & it shows up on the internal when in twrp? The internal sd card mounts when connected to the pc, not the external sd. I don't know if that's how it's suppose to work or not. This is my first twrp attempt and I had to build it from scratch basically. Like Disconnecktie stated, a log may be helpful.
Great work. Missed TWRP. Just had to tick off my internal sd. Panicked when my partition wasn't visible with my ROMs to flash. LOL.

I had in mind when're in rekaveri not mount the memory to your PC
Maybe this Problem just me, let me know
Updated OP with better mount paths & usb mounting working better. Guys if you all test this latest and give feedback, I'm working on getting this to the official site and in Bigbiff's thread. I appreciate your input. I have worked tirelessly to make this work but I may be missing something. Let me know what you find, working or not. I know the vibrate isn't currently working in recovery but I am looking into that.

For some reason (most likely that I'm a dummy, or missed reading somewhere)
Recently my SD card took a poo, so I've been saving to internal memory.
I flashed TWRP. When I look in sdcard I have no files visible. When I am booted into CandyKat I can see my files with my file explorer. Am I missing a valid mount somewhere? When I go to / I don't see a folder called storage, and in my /sdcard all I see is a folder called TWRP which is empty.
THanks!

When you are in TWRP recovery are you selecting "Internal SDcard" or "MicroSD card"
Edit: Latest twrp recovery with vibrations enabled!

Haven't tried your update yet but on the last build in order to use themes I had to load them into /data/media/0/TWRP/theme/ which I believe will be overwritten as soon as I flash another ROM. Is this one of your corrected paths?

No it was not. I've been waiting on more feedback from the update or any of my twrp builds. Now that I'm aware of it, I'll look into that so we can get it official in Bigbiffs twrp thread. I think it's close enough for him to release it as an official but this is my personal feelings. It'll be a couple days maybe before I get back to it since I've spent the last week concentrating on this, it's time for me to move on to other things for a moment.

We can probably keep this here until the bugs are worked out. Have you tried the latest here yet? I don't theme my recovery but I'm willing to so I can get it correct.
Also that may be something you can set in twrp, set a different default path for themes but I'm not 100% sure.

Default path in latest is correct now. Themes work from the correct directory now (/sdcard/TWRP/theme/ui.zip ) so they won't get deleted. Love button vibration as well! Excellent work.

Thank you for the feedback, it is very much appreciated! If you run into anything else, good or bad, Please feel free to give a shout out. I have OCD and with the vibration as an option, well it just was NOT an option to NOT work.. Lol

I tried to install the full aroma rom patch by pollution and it seemed to work but gave com.android.phone error on boot. So I thought easy fix, I'll restore the backup I made with TWRP yesterday and got even more errors. Yes, I factory reset before restoring. It seems that this TWRP is not doing everything like it used to under the 4.2's. I'm going to go back to CWM and restore a CWM backup, regroup, recharge.......and try again from scratch to test this thing out again. Wish me luck.

I'm not sure that I understand what you're saying? The internal sd mounts to the pc once you go into twrp & mount it.

Best of luck to ya! I have restored my nandroid with twrp but not in my latest version. I'll give it a try this evening and see what happens on my end. I have not used the aroma installer because I personally would rather not use it. I just use the camera fix from Pollution since I don't have the screen flicker or any other issues with my phone.
