[Q] Moving Apps to sd card gives me splash screen - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I put the new ROM Synergy on my phone, restored apps and since then a lot of the apps FC right away and anytime i try to move an app to the sd card it gives me the Synergy splash screen. I really like Synergy so i would like to find out what the problem is. I also tried downloading apps like apps2sd and install manager and they also just freeze and go to the splash screen. Any help would be appreciated.
I searched everywhere to find the problem but to no avail. Thanks

Well, first off, how is your card partitioned?
And if you use the Synergy Updater, there is a mod'd version of A2SD you have to flash then once you're booted, go into terminal and type:
SU
a2sd reinstall
That will move ALL your apps to the sd card.
Make sure you use Titanium or MyBackup to back them up then, becasue if you ever format your card, even the apps that cam e with the ROM will be gone, and you'll have to reflash the rom or pull those apps out of the .zip file and install them

[Help] Apps on SD Card

I've read most of the guides down here and other forums and how to install apps on the sd card, but I'm confused with one thing, having the AP2SD on the ROM automatically does it? or having just the ext03 partition? I tried every method i read but there is something im doing wrong as apps are still installing on the phone (some apps on SD and some on phone), i even tried the modInstall app and chose the SD card but I still can't get it, I know im doing something wrong or missing some step please help me
you need both
you need o have a rooted rom with AP2SD included if not AP2SD installed a partion ext 3
Download gscript lite from the market place the attaced script in the in the gscript folder in the gscript menu add script and see what it says
sorry forgot to upload unzip and use the file inside
thanks ill try it now
btw im using LeeDroid latest ROM and latest radio version with bootloader 0.80
so you just need to set up the ext3
•Froyo A2SD mod install location is included in the rom doent that meet your requirements
havent used it myself didnt know it existed till i checked the LeeDroid rom

it is working, but is there a reason why some apps would not install on the SD card?
thanks for the help <3
it does seem to be working i dont get the stderr messages not sure what they mean
what apps arent installing to your sd remember your imternal phone storage will decrease slighty i have about 40 apps installed and mine is down to 88mb
only: Bluetooth File Transfer, Facebook, Papertoss
but no big deal thanks for the help with the script it's was excellent!
paper toss i actually went into the settings/ applications/ manage applications /downloaded and had the option on the phone to move it to sd which i did
Hi everybody, just thought id mention that if your using a rooted froyo 2.2 Rom, you not longer need to use apps2sd or make a partition on you memory card. Instead use setinstallloctaion.apk this then installs all your apps to card without the need to partition your sdcard. works great for me.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA app
well I am runnig froyo and i installed SDMove which has "Apparently" moved apps to the SD that had gone to the internal memory
But:
If you use the FroYo APP2SD method and moved your apps manually to the sdcard, will you be able to use them when you connected your phone to the PC in "Disk Drive" mode?

[Q] Help! Desire, rooted, Ginger Villain, boot loops and market won't work!

Hi,
As per title, parttaioned sd card today using Gparted on Mac. 16gb card became 14gb fat 32 primary and 1gb Ext 4 primary and 32mb linux swap.
SD card worked fine in phone but needed to restore data after wipe so used Mybackup Pro Rooted to restore app's from file after I restored 11GB onto SD card.
It said please reboot to see app's, so I did. Then Boot loop MAJOR! Ginger Villain screen causing me proper nightmares.
I've tried going to recovery and clear memory and that made it boot again but lost everything (backed up on mac though) but gone meanwhile. So bought titanium Pro to batch restore. Wouldn't download, on install just got GV boot screen and after 10 sec's the lock screen.
Went trawling through phone settings and into CyanogenMod settings/application. Ticked 'allow application moving' and selected 'install location' as external. Went to market and got TP to install, which unlocked free version.
Tried running batch command restore as thought i'd backed up TP files from last backup pre messing to Mac, which i'd since restored to SD card. However all app's are crossed out so I'm guessing I missed a file with app's in and there all corrupted.
Can't get market to work again now though. Just goes to boot screen on install again. I don't get it!
I'm going to try a different ROM I think like Oxygen to see if that changes anything but I'm worried its the partitioning, even though it all looks good in TP and mounts fine on Mac with labels I gave. Also worried i've lost market links.
10mins later...
Just installed Oxygen Gingerbread ROM. Going to see if I have any joy with this.

SD Card read in GUI but not recovery mode

Strange issue here. I flashed CWM & CM7 + Gapps to my phone, however after that my phone would not read my sd card, so my friend put his sd card in my phone & bam it read it. I said okay maybe I need to reformat my sd card, which I did. Put it back in my phone nada. So we put his back in & sure enough it reads it. He placed CM7 + Gapps on his sd card, thinking we could just reflash. However when I go into recovery mode the sd card is not recognized. but it does recognize it when running the CM7 gui.
I noticed that when going into recovery mode I get numerous errors to name a few:
missing bitmap icon_clockwork
failed to open /etc/recovery.fstab
unknown volume for path /cache/recovery/command
I can still use my phone, download from the market, but cannot get my phone to recognize the sd card in recovery nor can I mount the device as usb.
Please help.
No one? I have read thru the various threads, but would like to prevent myself from having to unroot via Odin. Hoping there is an easier alternative.
Again I can get into the CM7 GUI, download from the Market & my sd card is recognized & mounted, but once I go into recovery, the sd card will not be read.
I've wiped cache, data, fixed permissions etc. etc. & still nothing.
P.S. If Odin is the only alternative then so be it. But just thought I'd get some feedback first
Update: Odin'd phone back to stock, rerooted using the 1Click method, installed the MIUI Rom, but could not get gapps to install, no biggie, as I really wasn't feeling the MIUI GUI anyhow.
Redownloaded the CM7 alpha4 rom from this site as well as the accompanying gapps.zip & decided to give this rom another go. The rom installed fine & loaded perfectly, however when going back into recovery to reflash gapps, my recovery menu was giving the same bs errors as noted in my first post. So something is a miss with the rom itself or I'm missing some step that allows the sd card to be recognized while in recovery. Do I need to do a sd card partition?
I did notice however, that after the 1Click root method the CWM menu was green (not to sure of the build #), then after installing the CM7 rom the CWM menu was orange with a different build #.
So as of now I Odin'd once again & I'm back at stock, until I can figure out which rom would suit me best.
Out of all the android phones I've had (all HTC btw), this Samsung Epic seems to be, IMHO, the most difficult one to get a decent rom working. On the plus side it's also the easiest to recover from a soft brick, which is reassuring.
As for the issue with the memory card, I can offer no help. I have had numerous problems getting ROMs to operate properly. Viper's Synergy ROM with the Genocide 1.0kernel works perfectly for me, however...maybe you should try that one. There are a "proprietary" apps that come with it (Viper's app launcher is probably the best I've ever seen) and they take great care to communicate well from what I can see.
Again, sorry I didn't directly address your problem, but I thought I would say something anyway.
Thanks jdtuttle & any help is much appreciated. I'll give that rom a try.
I'm having the exact same problem. No one seems to know anything about it so far. I had the same change in menu colors for cwm recovery screen same errors. Won't let me flash google apps or any back ups on my sd card. When the phone is running outside of recovery the sd card is fine will read write do everything it normally would

Why did all of my apps on the SD card disappear? (after restore from recovery)

So I am currently running CM7 7.0.3.1 on my Evo. I decided to update to the 7.1 RC1, so I did a nandroid backup then flashed it. It worked perfect, but when I went to flash the Mattedblues theme, I got bootloops, so I restored back to my 7.0.3.1 backup. Now when I look at my home screens all I see is this. Those were all my apps that were missing on my SD card. They are apps with official install to SD card support.
When I go to manage applications, then SD card, I see this. They are there but will not let me move them back to the phone or anything.
Why is it doing this? How can I fix it?
Nobody can help?
First off are you're using the official move to SD feature and not one of the third party options requiring an EXT partition?
If you're using the official method then those apps are stored in the the encrypted android_secure folder on your SD card. It's my understanding the have to back it up using recovery just like you would a normal partition.

I have twrp recovery..im on the LJ7 MODEM..MY SG3 MODEL IS THE SPH-710 ...HOW DO YOU MOVE APPS TO SD CARD SO I CAN UPDATE MY APPS...PLEASE HELP ME GUS OR GIRLS!!!!
Have you tried clearing data and cache from the play store, settings-apps-play-clear data, clear cache. That's happened to me on various phones and roms and that has always worked for me?
Out of curiosity, do you use lucky patcher? And what else have you used to try to move the apps to sd? If your default install location had been set to sd via an app, and the card isn't set up right you will get this error.
I haven't used apps2sd in a long time. If I remember correctly you need a separate ext partition on your sd card. If you never formatted the card that may be the problem too.
what is a lucky patcher? ...i just bought the sd card i have been able to add things to it and install with no errors..when i updated the jellybomb to v7 i unstalled it on this sd card with no problem...

You're running a deodexed ROM....go into system/app folder and see if you see any .odex files. If you do, delete them and you won't have any problems updating after that.
I'm running an ODEX stock rooted JB ROM. Is there a way to use the external sd card for apps? I purchased the 16 gig model thinking I can use my 6 gb ext card, only to find out it is sitting there only being used for titanium and root backups.
