Hey guys. I know this is an old issue but im hoping someone found a way to fix this already. Based on the forum research, the main cause its having the app on the SD card but I did not force the app to the SD card, i made a partition with ROM Manager and moved the apps there with [A2SD]Darktremor 2.7.5.3 Beta 04.
Has anyone found a fix? any ideas?
Thanks

Not sure why its not working from your sd but Try this:
Copy the launcherpro apk to your computer.
Uninstall launcherpro from your phone.
Boot into recovery and mount /system.
Use adb to push the launcherpro apk to /system.
Reboot.
Launcherpro should now be installed to /system instead of your sdcard ext.

Thank you. I think I did that already, Titanium Backup has a "convert to system app" option. I used it on LaunchePro but still happening. Will try your suggestion.
For one reason or another, on the CM7 that has been released (this may change when the fix for the SDCard formatting comes out), some apps from the market display:
Error
Couldn't Install on USB storage or SD Card.
Apps Effected
Aldiko
Line Runner
Wordpress
Workaround
Go to Settings->Storage->Unmount SD Card
Once the SD Card Unmounted message is shown in you notifications, install the app
remount SD Card and Enjoy
Simple fix but I hope it helps
Also if you know of another app giving this error, please reply and I'll add it to the list so this workaround pops up in search results.
Unfortunatelly, doesn't work for apps like Evernote, which want to use sdcard partition and refuse to work without it.

This applies to other Android devices - i see the same issue on an HTC Legend.
Another affected app is Wordpress

I finally got around to installing the CM7 Alpha yesterday. There were several apps from the Amazon Appstore that would not install without the SD card being mounted (but then would not install because they were too large).
I took my Titanium Backup and opened the .tar.gz files in Ubuntu (there are two ... the one with the longer name) and was able to get the apks. Then I moved them to internal storage, unmounted the SD card, installed, remounted the SD card, and restored data from TiBu.

Not a matter of them being too large but their apks were set up to prefer sdcard installation.

An easier way is to set your TiBu preferences to install only to internal.

I'm pretty sure I tried that in the original build and it didnd't work
It's all fixed in the current build anyway though so no need to worry to much about it

I've had good results using this method. Until the revised Cm7 is released, I'll continue doing it this way. Just my experience.

Thanks so much for this thread! Aldiko was really the only major usage app I was missing in CM7. Works great now!
Another app this also fixes...Minecraft PE! SWEET!
The new-to-Android "Readability" app also is victim to this bug. The workaround is effective.
I flashed CF-Root 5.4 and the problem solved.
THANKS
great help. worked for me .
I desperately tried to install "lane splitter" on my sgs2 , ics, and failed.
un mounting sd card did it .
Hi all
I'm new to the whole Android world. Although after a bit of a research I managed to root my phone and installed the resurrection rom for my sgs2.
All is fine with the new rom except that my SD card contents aren't visible in the file manager. But if I connect it to the PC it shows up just fine.
It would be real helpful if someone could give me a solution.
Thanx.

Have you read the FAQ for the rom?
« ¿Where are the files of my External SD?
This time the manage the external sd it's different way, now the external SD it's called /emmc, there are your files. You can access to this folder with any file explorer (even the stock one). Just open the file manager, select the "mnt" button, the one between the Home icon and SD icon. Inside you'll find emmc.
« ¿Ok, but then how set my external SD like "external_sd" instead of "emmc"?
You can test this app made by gundalbert: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ostcount=30625
or you can check this post courtesy of lbsonic:

If you have troubles with the featured methods, at reboot the problem persists and you can't see anything on external_sd, please check this post by ggs2:

Hope this may help
Have fun
Dip
just format it.(do not forget to backup things)
Hi guys, I've run into a problem. I'm on Resurrection Remix 3.0.2 (jelly bean) and before flashing the latest version of the rom I tried to do a nandroid back up. I had done this numerous times with no problems. Anyway, I tried to back up to external sd card. The back up crashed since there wasn't enough free space and the phone rebooted itself. Since that happened, I lost access to my sd card. I can't view my pic gallery and lost some apps. ES file explorer says there's no card,even though there is. I tried flashing the most recent rom version and tried rebooting of course. Nothing worked. Solutions?

Yep, I tried that too.
i have faced the same problem , the whole problem is that in AOKP the external SD is mounted to emmc instead of external_sd ,( i know that's a pain in the neck ) but there is 2 ways to overcome this :
1)search for an app on xda called remountSD
2)or just use directory bind here is the guide:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536568

Thanks, but I can't download the remountsd apk because there's no sd card. Ironic, but it stinks.

can't u just connect ur pc and copy this apk to your internal sd card using mass storage mode
or even go to the link from your mobile with a browser like chrome and download it directly to your internal sd download folder (/sdcard/download)
by the way external sd is found in (/emmc)to get there u need an app like root explorer
Hi
I have same problem in my Sony Xperia tipo. i have install this APK in on devices. it's called "REMOUNT" just search in play store. After install follow the step...
In option just select
/mnt/ext_card

It's Done !
Hi xdians,
I'm experiencing such a weird problem with my 8gb SD card I guess.
I download a music with mp3 format and I can listen it, but after 5 minutes I can not listen the music, its not recognizing the music, it can't open the music file.
When I download an apk from web I can install it immediately after the download has finished, but after 5 or more minutes I can't install the apk, it says ,, there is error parsing the package" also the icon from the apk is changed into android icon.
One more problem... when I move an app from internal memory to SD card I can open it and play it, but after 5 minutes or so after closing the app, I can not open it again, it instant force close when I'm opening. Also in settings on Manage Applications the icon on the app that has been moved to SD card is removed.
This are the problems I'm facing, every help/opinion is very apprecied.
Thanks a lot!

First of all, backup apps using Titanium backup. Secondly, Backup any data on your SD card to a computer. Format your SD card, restore data and see if that works.

You can still use apps in internal right?
You might have to replace your SD card.
But first Flash stock firmware.
Did this happen all of a sudden? Or did something happen.

Yes in internal I can use apps without any problem.
All of sudden I guess, I'm using custom miui rom with cm7 kernel.
And how do you mean replace my SD card? Use a new one or unmount>format>mount from stock rom?

He means go for new SD card
See if you had tried all possible methods for recovering like formatting and all so if now no option is left then go for new SD Card
