Hello, I am new to this (root, apps2sd, etc.) and I tried to use link2sd but after partitioning the SD it gives me an assembly error, with Apps2SD this does not happen but I delete the applications after restarting the phone and whatsapp He wouldn't let me send audios, images, etc. Now yes, but I think it is because it is installed in the internal storage

Hi all
I have just installed CyanogenMod 7 on my HTC Desire.
I partitioned my 16GB Class 10 MicroSD card into a 14GB FAT32 partition and a 2GB ext3 partition. I installed DarkTremor's apps2sd scripts, and the apps2sd gui. I set it to save apps to the SD card, and to move the dalvik cache to the SD card.
Everything was working well: I was able to install apps, and they were going to the SD card (had they not, I would have hit the limit of the Desire's internal storage!). Rebooting didn't negatively affect anything - I rebooted several times and the apps were still there.
Then, when I opened the Theme Explorer, the phone just hung. It didn't respond to any input, from the touch screen to pressing or long pressing the power button. Eventually, in desperation, I took the battery out to do a hard reset.
When the phone booted back up, all the apps I had just installed were gone. Their icons remained on the homepage, but with the generic Android icon instead of their actual icon. They were missing from the ADWLauncher panel. The apps are still present in the list of apps, but are missing their icons and proper names. Instead they are displayed with a generic Android icon, and their "long-form" name, for example "com.amazon.kindle".
In addition to all the apps I had installed being missing, certain apps that came with CyanogenMod were also missing, such as: ROM Manager and the program that lists the apps with root permissions (I forget the name). Also, the Market application is missing. However, the calendar, messages, Google Talk, Theme Chooser, etc are all still present and working.
I tried rebooting the phone multiple times, as well as unmounting and remounting the SD card, with no improvement.
Using the terminal emulator, I can see that /sd-ext still has five directories: app, app-private, dalvik-cache, data, lost+found. However, all these directories, including the /sd-ext/app directory, are empty.
Running a2sd reinstall goes through the list of apps, but for each app that is missing, it says that it cannot find the .apk file for that app.
I suppose, then, that I have two questions:
1. Can I restore my apps somehow?
2. If not, and I have to reinstall, how can I prevent this from happening again?
(At the root of both of these is the question "why did this happen?" so if anyone knows that, that would be a great help too!)
Thank you all in advance - please let me know if there's any other information I can provide.
I have a similar problem with my Samsung Galaxy S2 on Sprint. I used Apps2SD by Sam Lu to move many of my apps over to my new 32 gig SD Card. After a bit I realized that I had moved many of the apps over that should have stayed on the main internal storage, mainly because of widgets. So I moved many of them back.
Shortly after doing that I was at a retreat with my phone on airplane mode to preserve battery life. I took some pictures and videos, read my Kindle app and Bible and then plugged it in to charge. The next day several of the pictures and videos I took showed up as a black icon and were not accessible. Then I noticed that all the apps that I had moved to the SD card were "greyed out" and even some of the apps that I had moved back to the internal storage. The phone then told me the SD card needed to be formatted.
Since then I have tried to use file recovery software to recover missing files on the SD card and it finds hundreds of photos and several videos, but nothing else. So the big question is, where are my apps? I hope you find a solution to your issue because it may be the same solution for my issue.
Sincerely,
Nathan
Hello guys,
I have a problem with my HTC Desire X. Every time that I use the sd drive to save something or I switch off my phone, I lose all my applications!
I notice that the problem is collegated with the apps that I have installed on the sd card, because the other apps that I've installed at the internal memory, are perfectly in function.
What huppened?
Every time I restart the phone or the battery finish, I have to reinstall all the apps that I had on the sd!:crying:
I've heared that with the new version of android the sd memory storage will be replaced from an other tipe of storage, maybe is there the solution? I don't know more. Is anybody there that can help me? :fingers-crossed:

i had the same problem using 3rd party apps like link2SD, just use the built in app2sd and you should be fine.
Hi friends,
I managed to unlocked the boot loader and rooted. I installed Link2sd with Ext2 formatted second partition. I link all my application from internal memory to sd card. Everything is working fine, but after 15 minutes my sd card removed unexpectedly. Then I reboot phone and create the mount script partition again. After some time the SD card removed again. All my apps including updated play store, keyboard, face book, Titanium Backup etc all get removed. Earlier I use the same SD card in Moto Defy XT 535 for last two years and no problem acquired. Now I reset my phone to factory and re installed all apps again, It working without any problem. Any one know which format is suitable and working without any problem?
EXT4 Partition..

Try to partition your secondary memory to EXT4 format...
i think ,you wont get "sd card removed unexpectedly" error anymore using EXT4 format...
Try and hit Thanks..:good:
First, root the device using RootZenPhone.
Second, install Link2SD. Run it, and you will see that apps that uninstall on reboot appear as if they were on SD (it's not really that way, read below).
Tell Link2SD to move those apps to internal.
Done.
----------------------------------------------------------
How did I come to this workaround:
I first found that all applications that disappeared on reboot wrote data to /mount/asec, and that the data was wiped out on reboot.
I was trying to move apps to sd with different apps, with no success. But I found that Link2sd gave me the option to move apps to SD. BUT what it really does is not moving them to SD. It moves apps to /mount/asec.
That's where all the applications that disappearead on reboot had data writen to it.
I found, also, that all those apps appeared on Link2SD as if they were on the SD. So I moved all of them to Internal.
And it did the trick! Now applications don't disappear!
-----------------------------------------------------------
I don't fully understand this thing about applications in /mount/asec, and the apparent "confusion" that link2sd has about /mount/asec and external sd, but it worked. And I wonder if anyone with a deeper knowledge about Android could use this observation to also solve the issue about not being able to move apps to sd in this tablet.
Hi guys,
I have android kitkat 4.4.4, which is OS that has disabled function of moving large app data (obb files) to external SD card. My device is Huawei Ascend G620S-L01 (same as Honor 4 Play). I have root. I am browsing this and other forums for 2 days. I tried several solutions, but each has a issue. I tried each type of solution with more apps so that I can be sure, there is no problem in the app:
- Clean master says that my device does not allow to move apps to SD.
- System app uninstaller told me there is no need to transfer data, because sd card is shared (wtf?). I tried some more apps that should transfer app data.
- SD unlockers - I thought there would be a need to unlock my sd card, it was written on some forum, so I tried. It went successful, but still nothing was able to transfer app data to sd card.
Then I read about mounting, so I tried several programs. All of them had same issue - the game was looking for its data and trying to download them, eventhough they had been mounted. More people with different devices, had same problem, but most of them were just running game unmounted, or without reboot. I tried reboot and also checked mount before running a game.
I hope I was just doing something wrong and it will be possible to store apps on my SD. One guy had a solution for this, he wrote two scripts to overwrite something that I did not understand, but they made it possible to store obb data on SD card and also made apps look for them on SD (I have no problems to transfer data manually, but no app will look for them on external SD). Please, is there any solution for me?
EDIT: My phone has also emulated SD card, but I need to transfer it to external SD.
root?

Hi, I can't help you but was hoping you could help me. What rooting method did you use. I have already unlocked my bootloader. Thanks
