Hello guys, I have a Moto E 1st generation. Today, Android 5.1 update came out for my phone and I have a question. I have a 32Gb Micro SD and 6Gb secondary partition for apps (linking etc).
I have rooted my phone and I am using Apps2SD to transfer some of my apps (that doesn't need big speed for loading etc) to sd-ext.
My questions is:
1) If I upgrade, will I have any problems with my rooting?
2) If I upgrade, will linking fail? If it will, will I be able to relink by reinstalling the Apps2SD?
If anyone has done anything of these, please answer to me.
Thank you!
I use link2sd and it works flawlessly with lollipop. No rooting problems or linking problems.

I have a sony Ericsson x10 mini pro. I'm wondering if its possible to move apps to my sd card, because the phone doesn't have a big internal memory. I heard something about having to root the phone, and doing something to the sd card. Could someone guide me through that, or tell me more about it? How will that effect the apps?
Thank you x
BTW, sorry if this is in teh wrong part of the forum, i wasn't sure what section it came under
I am also trying to find out the answer to this question. All i have been able to find out through search is that one has to root the phone and there is probably just one application superone click that allows you to do that currently for X10mini/pro 2.1 version. However once one has rooted through superone click, how do you then transfer all your applications to the SD card and whether its possible or not is my question. Hoping someone answers soon so i can take the risk of rooting.
There is an app that you can get at the market to enable you to transfer apps to SD..
App2SD and Link2SD.. just search on the Market
and also search the forums for these 2 apps, there are dedicated topics for these with more detailed discussions...
I've tried both App2SD and Link2SD along with a few others... none of them install on X10mini/pro runing on v 2.1. They require some sort of partition on the SD card which i have no idea how to do.

There is no. Of videos of partition of sd card in YouTube.
I m using link2sd and I feel its better than app2sd.
.
If you use Android 1.6/2.1 then you have to use link2SD.
Use this guide for partitioning the sd card
SD Card Partitioning
Or if you have gone to the new Android 2.2/2.3 you dont need these steps, because they are integrated in the OS itself. There are some advantages running 2.2 or 2.3
Good luck
Thank you all... It worked!!!
Used link2SD and created partition on SD card as advised by Tommylee567. Transfered my apps to SD Card. Only issue i am having after the root is that Skype is giving me problems. Have to take the battery out to reset the phone and stop it from ringing continuously whenever someone calls me on skype. I didn't experience this problem before though.
Anyways atleast i got my apps transfered to SD Card.
Thanks Tommylee
I have partitioned my ad and installed link2sd. However it gives an error saying the 2nd partition not found. i have followed all the steps correctly and my mini pro is rooted. Can anyone help? Please!!!
Hi every1, fairly simple question... but in true xda style you need some info.
Sgs3 ultimarom 8.0 running LOTS OF MASSIVE GAMES. Ive almost got every gamelost game. It will be a sandisk mobile ultra class 10 64gb micro sd card when it arrives. I currently use a 16gb (below) and with nothing but game data, 4gb music and my titanium backups I only have 300mb left. all of the games that use more than 200mb data in /sdcard/android/ are running off the external using directory bind. So I ordered a 64gb. Also I DONT WANT to use the 64gb as internal. I will be using directory bind. I know I have to use partition magic to make it fat32 (and still manage to keep 64gb). So cmw can use it. Correct?
My question is though would it be beneficial to partition it with 2 partitions 1 for games n one for everything else? WOULD IT BE FASTER???? Or shall I just dump them in a folder as I do now? If I do have 2 partitons will my phone mount them both without requiring an app to do it ? (like I do to mount ntfs - note I freeze this app when not in use as I dont want it always running)
Is there anything else I need to know?
Thanks everyone for the great community here! I love xda. Check it daily if not more! More than fb anyway and thanks in advanced.
O n if my search missed a thread that answers this, sorry please point me in that direction n lock thread...
you can use your phone to format it.
The phone won't recognize two partitions, and it won't make it faster
Hello everyone im new here...
I have been at it for hours, and i have finally managed to root my tablet. Its a samsung galaxy tab 3.7.0 wifi only with 8GB of internal storage, most of which is taken up by system memory. Its model is the SM-T210. I have a few questions and i would be very grateful if you could answer them...
1) How can i move apps to my sd card?its a 16gb sandisk...i have already tried folder mount, apps 2 sd and APPMGR 111, but they are either not compatible for my device or dont work/let me install them?
2)ive rooted my tablet...now what do you reccommend i do?
Thanks everyone, in advance.
1) Give Link2SD a try, it sounds like the closest to what you want. Make sure you read its FAQ, it's not a one click solution and you'll need to setup your SD card first.
2) Why did you root if you don't know what to do?
Hello together,
i have a problem with a desire x and i hope you guys can help me.
i have used the search but the posts i find are from last year so i'm not sure if this info are still up to date.
So i want to partition the sd card so i can install more apps on the phone.
Is there any better (easier or more secure) way than with 4EXT Recovery Updater?
Does the DX support the 4EXT or do i need to do a 3EXT?
Can i use all ROM's after portitioning the sd card? Do they all support installing apps on the sd card after partitioning it?
This are my questions, i hope you can help me a bit on that.
Thanks
You can also create partition on your sd card using AParted app from play store here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sylkat.AParted&hl=en
i have used it and it works as advertised
regarding support it depends on kernel and rom but EXT3 and EXT4 both are supported on DX as far as i have used them
not sure about all roms but i guess yes all roms might support partitions but you also need a compatible kernel.. i use nexus kernel v3 on EXT4 partition and it works well for me
dont know about direct install on sd card but i use Link2sd app which creates a 'link' and apps are indirecly as a whole moved to sd card if i am not wrong
Thank you i will try this app.
About the link2sd... i thought if i partition the card, the phone will automatically install new apps on this partition.
but it's not a big deal to have an app to do that.
I hope everything will work fine
Thanks again for your help.
i have one more question
Do i need to be rooted to install the apps you suggested and use them? or can i do this without root?
that would be such easier if i don't have to root the phone first and install any other ROM.

it doesnt make sense to root your phone when you`re planning to install a different rom anyway.
the rom gets rooted, not the phone. and most of the custom roms available here a already pre-rooted.
and yes, at least link2sd needs root to work properly, dont know about the other app.
I thought without root we can't install any other ROM?
or is this S-OFF thing not something like root?
but anyway, if you say the link2sd needs root then i have to install such a rooted ROM.
Hi,
First of all : HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you reading this thread !
To start the new year 2015, I have one question regarding my Z2 Tablet.
I was really enjoying it until this morning. For the new year, Amazon offered some free apps of some interest to me. So I wanted to install them... and ran short of memory.
No matter, I decided to move the Apps to my 64GB SD Card...
To my surprise, I discovered that it is now impossible.
Every app I tried doesn't work...
Is there a way to move apps to the SD card and run them from there ?
Thanks a lot for your answers...
Regards.
Yes I have the same problem, what I did is:
1) sdfix so that all programs can use sdcard
2) I use foldermount, with this app you can create and the move any folder to the SD but the game or the app will never realize this because foldermount mount the app program directly to the sdcard. Foldermount require root and if you use the paid version it show a list of apps and their folder and everything is done automatically.

u should have root access to since Android 4 to move apps to sdcard and use some apps like folder-mount.
it means you cannot do it in normal way so first root ur device and then try...
:good:
Hi Guys,
Thanks for your answers...
I should have tyold that my Tablet is rooted... and I even unlocked the BL and installed a custom ROM (Carbon).
This is the config I have on my Z2 Smartphone and this allows me to move the Apps to the SD Card without a problem...
I would like to stress that my older LG GPad 8.3 rooted and with CandyKAT installed allows me to move apps to the SD card without a single problem.
So why the hell doesn't Sony allow that too ?
Obviously it is because of some weird "Emulated external (or internal) storage" garbage...
But that does not work on the Z2 Tablet
I then applied the permissions on the SD Card with SDCard Fix (from JRummy).
And then ran "Folder-Mount"...
But probably did something wrong as every app was then unusable
Will try to figure it out... but if I can't do it, then I think I will resell the Z2 Tablet and buy another tablet, but will make sure I can do it with that one...
Yes, I know I can move media to my SD Card... but the space is mostly used by my Apps...
Regards.
FRED
Do you activate foldermount to start at beginning?
