now, all my installed apps force close.... what should i do ??? I can't access market to reinstall them, can't syng my gmail.... nothing. Any ideas?
I have the same problem, but with App2SD..
Anyone could helps us?
Thanks..
Have u restarted ur phones?
Better than app2sd? Pros? Cons?
As I see it's way easier to install, comparing to app2sd
In App2SD applications installs to SD AUTOMATICALLY.
How they will install with Link2SD ?
1. To SD card by auto
2. To Phone and than move by self to SD ?
If 2 - then maybe modify code to move apps between /system/app and /data/app ?
If 2, u won't be able to install big apps. that's right?
And this too (big apps in some cases cannot be installed).
So, i 've got another problem, app after launch get force close. I have 2 partitions on my SD, Fat32 and Ext2, any ideas?
Use App2SD.
As for me - Link2SD has 1/2 of good idea - grafical moving applications.
But links - not good.
It may move between card and phone - that will be GREAT 100% of happiness.
i've tried the link2sd (app2sd n dc2sd)n it's works correctly even first boot needs much time depend on the apps...recomendations use highspeed class of sdcard to get good apps process
mine are working flawlessly
Thank's for the developer
thank you for sharing ! Works well, just what I've been looking for.
I've tried it,,
but why do a lot to reduce the internal memory
Works great
new version 1.3.0
thanks for sharing~let me have a look.
I've tried to install app2SD many times, but don't work...
Link2SD seems to be easy and works great! Thanks do the Developer

only the market fix doesn´t work for me
we can´t move the system applications, but if we uninstall the apps that we want to move to sd and install again, there is possible to move them
i try with semchome.apk

I wanted to ask how people manage their storage on their A101 efficiently. I have noticed that my system storage fills up as I install new apps and I have to manually move each to internal storage to keep the A101 running smoothly. Some apps cant be moved it seems.
Is there someway of getting apps to automatically install to internal storage to make life a little easier?
If you have root (Archangel is fine) you can use Move2SD Enabler. It is available on the market. Read instructions from the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720739
as you can't move apps with widgets or system apps, as they won't work properly. It has saved me lots of space on my A70.

Thanks Darren. I haven't gone down the Root path yet. Is there an app you can use without root that will do the job?
Try App 2 SD from the market
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&feature=search_result
You can only move apps which android allows to be moved with this, but it will tell you if you can move an app when you install new ones.

Hello
I know this is posted before on xda.
But have no reports of anyone trying it on Dell Venue.
Tired it on my venue last night and it worked.
Helped me move my Large apk game files viz "asphalt 6, modern combat 2, assasins creed etc. " to SD card with ease.
Recovered some phone memory after that.
Actually there is no need for this as we already have 550 MB inbult memory.
But memory hogging apps like whatsapp, some launchers, hancent, etc can be moved.
But once moved, if app supports widget. The widget support will be lost.
You need to move it back to phone memory for it.
heres the link.

do i have any problem by do this adb trick without root
Hello I am new is there any chance of brick non rooted mobile by using adb shell commands for move to data or install app to sd card pc
So here it goes:
I'm using a Galaxy xCover running a android 2.3.6 stock rom, and because of the memory problems i rooted it and used link2sd, I'm running a nonbranded probably european setup phone, so here are the specs right now:
internal memory 148/165mb
sdcard 2,97/14.84GB
sdcard (linkedpart) 1.09/14.4GB
system 214/238mb
cache 1.69/25,55mb
So basiclly my problem is that the internal memory is so full i can't install any new apps.
If someone has a solution for my problem it would be nice to know...and i guess that problem is been had by a lot of people but i used the search engine on the forums and on google but i didn't find a solution. Because i already downloaded the terminal emulator...and used the su / a2sd chachesdreset stuff but it doesnt find the a2sd ... so this workaround doesnt work for me...
Cheers and thanks for the help,

Did you create a second primary partition on the SD and linked the apps to there?
In link2sd, you can try more -> relink files, move stuff etc. Do all of these (except Restart / recreate mount script).
Still, some app data are internal. You can go through the (settings ->) app manager and sort by size, and delete data, clear caches... Made a big difference on my phone, since browser history, cookies and other stuff from apps were still internal and eating ~20 MB.
Also, an app like for example SDmaid can help you clean system logs, temp stuff, ... which also can save several MB.
Btw, you can uninstall unnecessary system apps with link2sd, like Samsung Apps, Social Hub, smart runner....
I have the same problem...as if the links are not working... I do believe that I've done everything right.
I'll get back if I find something out, and will be very interested to hear from others.

Update:
Having checked again, and tested by moving a few apps around, I have found that Link2SD works fine with my Samsung Galaxy Xcover.
These are the steps, I used:
Rooted the phone using the Universal Gingerbread Root kit v 25
Bought a 32GB Class 10 MicroSD card, slotted it into my Windows PC, and partitioned it using MiniTool Partition Wizard. I created one large FAT32 partition to be used for "regular data" and one ext2 partition at about 1.8GB to be used for Link2SD.
Installed Link2SD from GooglePlay and followed the available instructions.
Only problem, I have now is that sometimes Link2SD gets stuck when I move apps from the SDcard to Phone (which I believe uses the native app2sd method) and when I also when I try to create links for Apps that are installed (partly) on the SD card (using the native app2sd). I leave it for a good long time, but Link2SD just stis there saying the it is moving the app. Eventually I wait a little longer and then terminate Link2SD; it has not caused damage (yet). But I think I will set the installation defaults to install to Phone by default for the future, and then use Link2SD ...thus not using the native app2sd at all.
Next I will find out which of the Samsung-installed Apps that can also be removed or linked. Some of them are classed as "System Apps" even thought they clearly don't need to be ..e.g. YouTube...
PS: during the process above, I also installed Titanium backup and ran some backups - just to be on the safe side ...and I also at an appropriate point reset the phone to factory defaults, just to get it to a defined state before making big changes...
PS: my Samsung Galaxy Xcover is running Android 2.3.6 and the kernel version is 2.6.35.7

Lars

Since the firmware update I have the same problem. Also with freezing system apps. After killing L2SD, it seems like it was successful though.

in my experience a very double edged sword, cause this blew my hole system 3 or 4 days ago had to reinstall everything from scratch ... and also one titanium file got corruped so i lost this apps data completly.
But on the other hand i have been tweeking around with my phone quite a bit in the last some days and it seems it got a bit faster.

Hey there. I got a Xperia Sola recently and am loving it so far. Getting this has been my switch from IOS to Android and so i'm a little unsure on how to do things, I need a bit of help with something.
Going over to android I was rather excited for some of the larger, more intensive apps that my old iPhone3g couldn't run so I bought myself a nice big 32gb sdcard to put all these apps on. Today I bought NFS Most Wanted, installed the downloader thing from the play store and set it running. When I came back later, I was sad to find that rather than installing to the nice spacious 32gb external card, it had downloaded 2gb of files into the Internal Storage and half filled it. How can I move these files to their intended place on the external card, and how can I make future large downloads go onto the external card as well? The only options I can see in the settings menu are Move to Phone or Move to Internal Storage/SD.
Thanks in advance ^_^

Thanks, but is there no way to do it without rooting? All of the rooting methods I've been able to find for the Sola (I think the one by Bin4ry is a popular one or something?) use the restore and backup thing and that refuses to work for some reason, just gives me an error message every time I try so I haven't been able to root the phone yet.
Edit I think i've figured rooting out. What does the "set abd in path" thing mean in that first link you gave me?

Try this if you are on ICS
Settings> Apps> Downloaded/ALL > NFS Most Wanted
Tap open it. Scroll down and there would be a button reading move to phone! Click it and see if that works. If It copies the file from internal storage to the phone's user available storage then download any market app like app2sd to further transfer the game files to your ext card.
I don't know whether it'll work or not. Still give it a shot!
Happy to help!

Broken premium handling?
I have sent a bug report from the app via gmail, but I will try to be more verbose when describing the issue here, since I wrote it from a mobile phone. The issues concern premium version of this application (I could have easily write the binding script myself, but told myself what the heck, let's support the developer).
1. I have installed the free version from an account which I don't use for purchases on SG3 mini. So when I installed it through Google Play on the second device with the intention to go Premium later, it did install from this account anyway (and kept doing so), preventing me from buying the premium. This is the Play issue, but some apps let the user choose which account should be used for in-app billing. You may consider this.
2. When I paid for the premium from Xperia M, the payment succeeded and after 1-2 minutes the app became premium version. However, this did not happen on the SG3 mini, which keeps the "basic" version event after an reinstall and a hour after payment. When I try to buy the premium package ("Zakoupit premiovy balicek"), the account is the same and after clicking on Buy (Koupit) & Google Play, the Google Play gives me an error that I already own the entry (Chyba: Tuto polozku uz vlastnite) but pressing OK does not help, the premium features will not be activated and I get back to the "Buying" dialog.
Can you fix that?
EDIT: OK, one of the reviews mentions restarting the phone to get premium features in similar case. It helped, the app is now premium.
Foldermount stopped working
Today my z1 compact(kitkat) crashed and i had to use the off button near the sim slot. since then i cant mount any folders. I can still move data on sd and back but i cant mount anything. I tryed reinstalling, new folder pairs and reinstalling the sd fix. till there everything worked fine. Any Idea whats wrong?
Edit: im using 2.7 premium and the 4.4.4 Andoird with the .157 build
Can i mount the whole android/data directory as well as the whole android/obb directory onto my ext sd card, instead of individual app data or obb folders? Does it make any difference?
And another thing, what exactly do the green and white pins mean? If i leave a mounted directory's pin white, how is that bad for me?
Folder mount doesn't work anymore since lollipop update. App is shown as mounted, but app never works.. This is on my nvidia shields tablet wifi
Edit.. Got it to work.
paste data on external sd card
Why it isn't working when I paste data right in the external sd card and link folder with foldermount.
I can't paste the data on emmc (or internal sd) because I haven't enough space on it. When I touch the pin it colored green and I can see the data on the internal sd. But the game request for downloadin data from internet.
sdcard deleted and not fixed after renaming sdcard.backup
Hello sir,
I am using galaxy trend s7392.
I am usong stock rom only.
after opening the app it asked to patch system, i selected ok.
It replied patching failed. After reboot, sdcard was deleted.
As you mentioned in FAQ i deleted "sdcard" and renamed "sdcard.backup" to "sdcard".
But problem is not solved.
Pls respond to this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Do not see the android folders in foldermount
Hey all,
I'm really new to tablets and rooting. I have two Nextbook 7" that I just purchased for my kids to game on it comes with 4.4 kitkat on them. I used Kingo root to root them and made sure they got the SD fix so they could write to SD card. I did a ton of research into getting apps moved to the SD card to make room for more. I got foldermount and purchased the pro version. For whatever reason in storage/sdcard0 I don't see any sub folders. When using ES File Explorer I can see the android folder and it's sub folders of data and obb and the apps within them. In foldermount I don't see any of that. Spent quite a while trying to figure this out with no finds. Lots of internet searching didn't turn up anything for me either. I hear foldermount is the best so I'd like to get it working. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Has anyone found an easy fix for MIUI V5 (4.4.2) ?
I can mount a data folder but not an OBB folder.
Thanks a lot.
Hello.
I'm running Android 4.2.2 on an old ZTE Blade Q. I purchased the pro version of foldermount and the problem I keep running into is that I can't update my apps through play store - I get an insufficient space message each time I try to update an app.
I have most of my apps mounted on the external SD, all their pins are green and the internal SD storage status shows that 2.21 GB out of 1.3 GB is used.
What am I doing wrong here? I can't benefit from the app if I can't solve this. :/
FolderMount vs link2sd?
i have link2sd pro.. from what i have read FolderMount only allows me to move a small amount of files that link2sd supposedly cant.. i have never tried FolderMount but if it is better id be interested in learning more about it.. does it have automatic linking functions like link2sd does or is everything manual?
mount /data to sdcard0 or extsdcard
hey mate, super grateful for the folder mount! nice one..
been tinkering with mounting from /data/data to sdcard0 or extsdcard but to no avail. I am aware of the warning message when i choose /path, but is there any work around for this?
as of the reason why, i want to install this one game, but it install 1 gb data directly to the device memory, and because of my GT I9100 only has 2 gb partition for the device memory, and i don't want to lose any of my data, i don't know what to do. i even uninstalled every other app but still hasn't reach the requirement.
hope u can help! thanks!
seems like no one is answering questions here anymore? guess ill stay with link2sd.. all the automated functions would have to give it the edge in comparison.. tbh though i havent tried FolderMount but thats due to lack of questions being answered.. basing my opinion solely on experience with link2sd and what i have read about FolderMount
@BHoller, hope I got your question right.
I'm using FolderMount parallel to Link2SD. It works fine. You have to Setup, which folder has to be mounted to which other place on your device (e.g. "Whatsapp/Media" to external SD). In my case I had to create a new folder on my ext SD with a separate File explorer, because FolderMount didn't do it.
Once mounted, FolderMount puts automatically the files to ext SD and does it also automatically after every restart.

I made the jump to Kit Kat and was hoping to clear up the issue with the storage restrictions with something like this. However after reading through the. Apps thread, I had some more questions.
So the MOD on the app thread noted, in fact on the last post I read today (December 19),to come here for questions when he/she was responding to another users post.
Well I'm here and I see a lot of questions from all the posts above........ but the answers just seem to have vanished! I'm certain they are here because the developer specifically noted that one of the strong points for this app is that he wouldn't abandon us and to read over the question and answer section because it would probably answer any questions that we may have, before asking him anything.
Ohhh wait maybe he his answers are just typed in a color font that it is just blending in with the background of all the post here......... right?
I guess I will have to go search for an app that displays this "invisible" text and come back.
Thanks for the redirect MOD!
