- I have a rooted Asus ZenFone 5 on 5.0
- I partitioned my sd, 2nd partition is ext2
- I successfully linked apps using the app Apps2sd
The problem:
- On reboot, the apps don't work.
- This is because the obb link of the app is shown to be broken(in app details, the link picture of obb is shown to be 'cut').
- Soft reboot doesn't solve it, nor does recreating mount scripts.
Only thing I could do is link the app again, and it works, but on reboot, the same problem comes up again.
How do I fix this?
You can't. Those files were never meant to be in external storage. This is due to the way android loads the memory.
Only option is to update to an os that adaptable storage.

So will this work(linking and not breaking) with apps that are naturally movable to sd card(i.e. moveable to sd from Android settings)?
And what OS could I get to change that? Cyanogen? RR?

Not really. Apps are really not made for sdcards. As for the OS you will need something that uses 6.0 as a base.
So marshmallow allows apps into sd? No problem with linking and rebooting?

It as adaptable storage. Which means converting your sdcard to be system memory. Does it work? Couldn't tell you. None of the devices I buy have an sdcard slot. And oem have hidden the feature or removed it all together.
So... either I get a custom rom with 6.0 without any guarantee that it actually works(and lose my data), or just be stuck with this problem on lollipop.
Another question, this problem will persist even for the apps link2sd and foldermount? I ask because they might use different methods, I can't confirm myself as my apps are already linked with apps2sd.

Yes. It is due to the way the os is set for mounting and reading the sd card. The whole OS loads before it reads the sdcard. Once all apps and data are loaded does it scan the sdcard. Not really alot you can do about it. I just wouldn't bother with moving things to the sdcard. Devices now generally come with plenty of storage.

True enough, guess I'll only link those that hog up too much space. Thanks man.
Btw, does titanium backup create backup of linked apps too?

I am not sure. Like I said. I have not had a device with an sdcard slot in like 5 years or so.

Okay, thanks a bunch anyway.
Dalvik VM might be the problem. ART VM isn't causing any trouble. Though it takes a few more seconds to start the linked app, the rest works smoothly.

Hi, yesterday I bought the Galaxy Player 3.6 8GB. Now when I look at my available memory it's far from 8GB, so I have 4.73GB internal memory and Internal device storage I have 1.86GB. Already rooted so have delete some of the stock apps but every app I removed just gave me more internal device storage and I would rather have it as internal memory storage of course, Is there any way to do this?
My other question is that there is a lot of apps installed that are actually phone apps (dialer, etc) would this give problems if I remove these seeing as I will never use it to make phone calls.
Thanks in advance
That is on all devices..i have nexus 16 gb and 13 gb free..rest is system files.

Well yes, I know the OS was going to take something but was shocked how much it took, so the remaining 1.86 Internal device storage I have left is unable to merge with my internal memory storage?

There is a 2GB /data partition (where apps are) and a 5GB /sdcard partition (where your files are). You cannot combine them.

So if I install apps they will go into the data partition and not in the sdcard partition or is the data partition only for the stock apps?

Stock apps are on /system. Apps from the market go in /data, unless you move them to the external SD, and then they will go there.

Assuming you are on CM10:
If you're looking in .android_secure, that is the app itself, and that bug is fixed with the latest kernel (uploading now).
Otherwise, you are looking at game data. To move that to external, uncomment the "switchablepair" line in build.prop and reboot. Note that any data in /storage/sdcard0/Android/data (mostly app cache) will not be moved, so you need to either copy it over before rebooting, or let it redownload.
For non-cm10 roms, all of the above applies except the bug and the exact line in build.prop. For example, some ROMs always have it uncommented, but have a line saying "ro.vold.switchexternal=0". In that case, change it to 1 to switch them.

Apps to sd card?
Anyone have any ideas how to get apps to sd card tried deleting some apps due to insufficient space (can't even update a app) deleted 3 apps and still can't download Folder Mount as suggested. Any help would be much appropriated as I am stuck can't update apps or install like this. Did I miss a work around in the OP?
How bad is your storage situation? In terms of MB available?
Also, do you already have Titanium Backup installed? If so, just back up a bunch of apps to your SD card, delete the installs, and then restore from the backups after you've got Folder Mount running and your storage cleared up.

As a reminder, the "/mnt/sdcard" device is INTERNAL memory on this phone. You want to move your apps to /mnt/extSdCard, which is the microsd slot.
I've never tried it, but pretty sure I saw an option in Titanium Backup to move app to sd.

No, you can't just move them there. Applications won't be recognized if you just pick them up and move them.

Ok never mind. That isn't going to work. I can't download folder mount that is kind of my problem. out of space when I have plenty. as shown in the screen shots.

I have a feeling even if I erase all of the apps it will still say that as I have so much storage free(internal). Sigh

I haven't pulled the battery oddly enough..(you would think that I would have done that first)... I will try that when I get home as it is in a otterbox case and I am at work and it's a pain to get out. As far as ME7 Builds go last I heard once you flash to a ME7 build you would be stock on ME7. Which I am not trying to do. I am happy with touchwhiz at the moment. Not really into the plain dark look as it is just that to plain for me. Which Rom where you suggesting that you can revert back to a MDK build with? I have a nandroid already. But I tried deleting apps to see if if would let me download it and all it does is delete that app and I can't put the app i just took off back on. With all the storage available. Just kind of baffled that no one has really ran into this. I have TWRP on it now. I might switch it to 4EXT Recovery as it just has way more options.
1. Deleted apps no difference
2. Deleted Cache no difference (TWRP style wipe)
3. When I get off going to try and wipe Delv/Cach (see if that does anything)
4. If all else fails I will do a complete wipe and start with that app.(Even though you can just change the file destination in root explorer to go to sd card. There is also 2 places it stores on your phone you have a internal sd and a emulated storage. I believe this is wear the hang up is being caused.
Just seems strange that you are getting any type of error with the amount of internal storage you have available. When you get an app from tue store itsaves to your phones internal storage, which is not even close to being full. Also if you are rooted you can go back and forth between MDK and ME7 builds. Devs dont really mess with bootloaders when making roms...

Store/install the Games/apps files on the larger part of the memory (IE. SD Card) and have them run from that location.
I know the system apps can't be moved but almost any game or app can be.

Dude... The whole purpose of people moving apps from internal phone storage to an SD Card is to free up space on the internal storage... by moving them to an EXTERNAL SD card (ie removable)
Since these phones don't have an external SD, all you're doing is moving your apps from internal storage to (drum roll please...) Internal Storage!!!
So basically... you're moving an app from the "Program Folders" area to... well... anywhere BUT that folder, but keeping it on the same hard drive. Make sense?

Apparently I am not getting my point across this is the HTC One X+ section right...
There are two sections on the solid state "hard drive" one is referred to as the SD Card which is allocated 50+ gigs the other section is system storage which is only allocated 2+/- Gigs.
Now I want games/apps to install to the SD card section not the system section which it dose by default.
I know this can be done as I mentioned previously I had it configured to do this but I can't remember how nor can I find anything (apps/tutorials) that will get me back to said configuration.
I hope this is a bit clearer.

No mate it doesn't. Unless your rooted you don't even have write access to /system/.
All apps and data will go on the /data/ partition. The "mock" SD card is located in /data/media/ or /data/media/0 which is just a folder on the main /data/ partition.

Try going to /data/apps/ and checking if you will find white files that end with .odex
Apps that have that will most probably be the ones affected by that error. The .odex file is created if you have "lucky patcher" installed . If you do not have this app or haven't found any odex files then ignore what I just said.

Try to wipe all including the data and do factory reset.You are using TWRP right? then goto advance sideload and then adb sideload the rom which u want ... from command prompt.. what you are saying is really not possible....may be you did mess up ur partition since we dont have any physical SD card slot there is just plain 64GB of which 51~55 is usable....Goodluck

I removed the two odex files I found but yet again it made no difference.

when I did the wipe I cleared everything and went back to the Tellus stock RUU (lost all my pictures in the processes dam dropbox) and started over from there.
the first time I changed to the ViperXL+ OS I had the same issue unfortunately I can't remember how I managed to fix it I thought I used Rom Toolbox to set where apps/games installed by default but it says I have to be updated to 2.2+ and I'm only on 2.0.0
So I'm feeling like quit the Dumb A$$ I figured it out after my last post all I had to do in Rom Toolbox is change it from SD card as primary to internal storage as primary and now I can update/Install more apps
Thanks for the help
Is it possible to install apps to your sd card?
At this point I'm unable to download larger apps (2gb+) due to the smallish internal memory of the phone. An example App is Icewind Dale, I'm able to get the apk and install it, but it will not download obb data to the sd card at all.
Thank you for any help!

What I've observed is that some apps can be moved to SD and some can't. Being rooted and having link2sd helps, and link2sd will let you set the default install path to SD (with root). But some things like Chrome can't be moved. I think it has to do with hard-coded paths in some apps and not others. And then there's the Android 5+ nonsense about not using SD to promote the cloud. Might be worth looking into Ubuntu instead of Android. Sadly, Google is a company making decisions they think will maximize profit. Ubuntu doesn't have a vested interest.
2 gigs for one app, no way would I want such a thing unless I had a terabyte of internal memory. That's bloatware.
I used the new New Adoptable Storage Tool! and now have a 64 GB g6!
Confirmed working on mine as well so far.
hmmm.... now to contemplate if I need 96GB or 160GB internal......
Thanks for testing it out and confirming!
Great find. All I need now is root to have Adblock and I won't need anything elseView attachment 4108366

I have a concern regarding this adoptable storage. Every app that I go in and gives me the option to choose a location to store data (Spotify as exemple) shows internal storage with 13GB free, not 16some GB... If I remember correctly, adoptable storage means that the phone would treat the partition of the SD card as internal memory... And use it all as 1

Its not working for me, when I try and do it manually It just hangs and when I used this program I get this error message "Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Thread Binder:1828_4 gave up waiting for partitionMixed after 180000ms

The tool is not working for me. I don't care, I just want all the files I download to go in the SD card not internal
Manual mode worked for me...

What happens when you remove SD with this enabled?

Great question... I would like to know this as well.

If you migrate data to the adopted storage, it becomes unaccessible. Any apps you move to the adopted storage become inaccessible as well. But you shouldn't have any issues still using any apps still on the actual internal.

Are there any stability issues? I remember Apps2SD back in the WinMo days and it caused some issues with rebooting, random data loss, ghost apps, etc.
Does this degrade performance at all?
Do you have to select what gets stored where? Or does the system manage the "internal" external SD the same?

I have successfully used the tool and now my SD card is formated as adoptable storage.
I am unable to migrate the data to the SD card.. I process starts, gives me a message that it will move 6GB from the internal to the SD and will make my SD card default for future apps. After several minutes it fails with an error message that data were left at the original location.
Did anyone manage to perform the migration?
try apps2sd pro to migrate apps , i am using it on my xperia z3 sucessfully with adoptable storage 128gb card memory card under 5.1.1 (rooted)

Try AdClear no need to root/unlock.
The current way to block ad without root is a VPN running on the phone and blocking sites through the VPN.
It works.

Adguard works very well. No root
Does anyone know if adoptable storage (via adb commands) is supported on LG G6 after upgrade to Oreo?

Great! But, why not use a 128gb card? Since you're stuck with it now.

I haven't done it on this phone because I don't need it ( we've got enough storage for apps, imo ), but I've done it on a J5 2015 and it automatically installs apps on the SD card. Haven't seen any stability issues, but it can degrade the performance because it depends on the speed of the card. If you've got a slower card than your phone's storage, then you will see some performance drop for sure.
