[Q] Move apps to external SD, CM10.1

Hi everyone ..
I have been searching the whole internet for a way to move apps to extSD or at least their data.. But I had no luck AT ALL..
I used to use DirectoryBind on 4.1.2 but it doesn't work on CM10.1 (4.2.1)
And I tried to swap memories but it seems to make directories issues..
Because (after I swap memories) and I try to install apk that is located in
/storage/emulated/0/... It will not install.. It says app not installed..
But if I go to it from /storage/sdcard1 and install the same apk.. It installs normally
That's a big problem to me..
Any one have a way to move apps to SD? Or at least fix directorybind or swapping memories issue..
NOTE: I have Galaxy Note 2 GT-7100 on CM10.1
Please help me

Bump..

Read more... i cant remember where i saw this... but there is a MOD that makes your external sd card the main source for storage... so when u download anyhting from the play store it directly saves on the external sd card!! sorry but i really cant remember the thread

Don't think it works with 4.2.1 or it doesn't on the tab 2 anyway. I'm going to give link2sd a try from the play store

I know what do you mean, and yea i did try that! It did make the external storage as internal.. But i have a problem with it is that
If i install any apk from /storage/emulated/... It WONT install.. But if i do install the apk from /storage/sdcard1 which means the same apk, it does install fine..
But this problem will make stores like amazon, and many others, USELESS.. Because they use /storage/emulated not /storage/sdcard1
If there is a way to fix this, this will be amazeballs (got this word from a movie)

Two ways.. Using this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext
It used to work with me..
And second way is flashable zip
http://www.mediafire.com/?sbrzaezr29fhtge
These used to work with me on CM10.1, im currently using slimbean which has custom kernal, so its not working on it now..
Any ways give it a shot, if it didnt work, it wont harm your phone,

Swap Internal SD with External SD on CM10.1 4.2.2 [NOTE II]
MMohammed779 i am fully with U. This is a situation that we need to handle. All the sudden nobody wants to switch
Internal to external storages on ASOP Romz. Either that or the developers are having a really hard time with it. So i can move with u and do this thing. But the problem is not so much the Init.D folder. We need to EDIT "Vold.fstab" file in the system/etc folder.
Its a simple file in the CM10.1 system. It cant be crazy to do. I been just playing around with it. I need a skilled developers help to really gwt it working but now im doing trial an error. Here is the vold.fstab file:
# external sdcard
dev_mount sdcard1 /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1/
# usbdisk
dev_mount usbdisk0 /storage/usbdisk0 auto /devices/platform/s5p-ehci
Heres the changes i made to the script that didnt work. I simply reversed the storage location in the
Vold.fstab script:
# external sdcard
dev_mount usbdisk0 /storage/usbdisk0 auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1/
# usbdisk
dev_mount sdcard1 /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/s5p-ehci

[Guide] partition and link2sd [pictures included for each step]

[Guide with pics 4 noobs]
Hello heros (and a 3or4 heroines I've seen around here )
This is a tutorial on how to partition your SD card and start linking apps to SD card (I have included screen shots fore each step to avoid confusion and also to make it easier for beginners )
INTRODUCTION
Wat is linking to SD??
------> as the name says linking apps to SD is moving applications and their belonging resources to a special partition in SD card and creating a link to them for easy access.
Y link to SD???
------> I will tell it in short...
Apps perform better when they are on internal memory rather than on SD card because there is an easier access to their resources.. but not all phones have enough internal memory to move all apps to internal memory ... so keeping apps on SD and creating a link to them ensures better and faster performance of all apps even in devices with low internal memory ..eg galaxy y
Software's needed
1.mini partition tool (for PC ie windows)
2.link2sd (for mobile ie android)
PROCEDURE
pleez following the procedure carefully and exactly to avoid any inconvenience
1. First you have to download Mini Tool Partition Wizard Manager. You can download it in the link above... download it and install it on PC.
2. Insert your SD card to a card reader and open it on your computer.(not via USB cable)
3. Back up all your files to the computer because partitioning will wipe your data.
4. Open Mini Tool in your computer. Locate your SD card (be careful in choosing and make sure not to choose the drive of your computer)
5. Right click and choose Delete.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6. Right click on it again and choose Create New. Create “FAT32″ partition (This is where all your media files will go. Be sure to make it bigger than the 2nd part)
7. Select “Create as: PRIMARY”
8. Next, create an ext2/ext3/ext4 partition (I suggest ext2 cause it works on all roms and kernels). This is where your apps will go. I suggest a value of 512Mb would be big enough but its ur choice...
9. Select “Create As: PRIMARY” (make sure that it is both set to primary because it will not work if it is not set to primary)
10. Click the “Apply” button on the top left corner and wait for it to finish the process. Done.
11. Put back your SD card to your phone and switch it on.
12. Download and install Link2sd from Google Play Store link given above.
13. Open Link2sd. You will be prompted to choose between ext2, ext3, ext4 and FAT32. Select ext2.
14. It will say mount script created. Reboot your phone now.
15. Open link2sd and if the message doesn’t show up, you succeded.
16. Go to Link2sd>Settings>check the autolink (to automatically move apps upon installation)
17. If you already have some apps, select “move to phone” then after moving select “Create Link” (be sure to check the three files: app, dalvic-cache and library files)
18. To check your memory, select “Storage Info”. This will show you the current state of your internal memory, FAT32, and ext2 partition.
19. Now you’re done and ready to install vast amount of applications as you wish!
1 request guys ... u see above this at least 4-5 hours out if my life that I spent to make this thread ... so I don't ask u not to share it... but pleez don't just copy paste this in different threads or in ur freaking blogs... if u want to share pleez share a link to this thread ... thank u .
And don't forget to hit thanks (only if this helped of course )

For those who doesn't like or don't know chinese language, you can switch to another superuser app
1. Download SuperSU app from the attachment
2. Place the app in /system/app/ with the file explorer that have root access such as Root Explorer or equivalent
3. Set the permission rw-r--r--
4. Disable the chinese superuser app so that only one superuser app run at each time
5. Reboot
6. Check the root status using Root Checker
***If this screen is displayed out, congratz and now you are having root access with SuperSU app which is in English version. Enjoy
***If you wants to remove the Chinese superuser, now you are very safe to remove it from /system/app/

after installed superSU or superuser via cwm or playstore (make sure binary updated and binary access accepted 1st), download any bloat remover exp : nobloat or master uninstaller from playstore. then uninstall the Chinese superuser. restart. DONE.

Thanks to the reply that given by you to the others...
There is an alternative way to achieve it by using root explorer or equivalent.
Go to /system/app and delete the chinese superuser apk
Place the superSU.apk inside the /system/app and set permission to rw-r--r--
(Last time I've tried to download and install the superSU from playstore and update the binary but the superSU seems doesn't work if it didn't placed as system app. But if works for your phone then congratz)

Sorry for late reply....I mostly active in the i9001 forum and recently busying with my college project...Here you go~
You are just lucky that I didn't deleted that apk during I clean up the bloatwares by Alcatel~
Since the apk is odexed maybe you need the odex file as well..(It is a compressed file, not a CWM flashable)

For your issue, I can't test it out because I've deleted the one touch manager apk file inside my phone. However, in order to root this phone we do not need the help of the one touch manager. We install it just because we want the driver that came with the package.
You just straight away use the Root Master to check for the phone driver status etc, if everything ok the button at the bottom right will turn green. Click on the green button to root it and you are good to go
Hope it helps. Cheers

Actual location for boot screen:

Seems you not delete the "Thumb.db" inside the folder that cause that problem. recover firmware with Mobile Upgrade S.

That's cool. Thanks for the guide!

[A] Sign an apk !!

----------------------------***********------------------------
Flashable zip
-----------------
1) Download and extract the
sample.zip by root explorer.
Extracted folder (sample) will be in speedsoftware > extracted
2) Now open folder sample you should see two folders: one called "system" and one called "META-INF".
3) Let's start with the "system"
so open it:
In there, will go all files that what
you want to add or replace to the
system. So let's say for example that you want to replace the bootanimation.
4) Make a "New Floder" in sample> system > newfolder* ,name its as "media" *(make sure its aint in CAPS nor with in quotation marks)
5) now simply move the file in
their respective place:
the bootanimation.zip file should go in '/system/media' folder
**If you have more files to add, just follow the logic above; I'm sure you get the idea by now..
[size=+2]Hints[/size]
/system/app - all the system apps (SystemUI.apk etc)
/system/framework/ -framework-res.apk,android.policy.jar
/system/media - bootanimation.zip
/system/lib - libraries (*.so)
6) The other folder included in the folder sample(sample) is named "META-INF". So, [highlight]You may have to Replace the update-binary[/highlight] (if ur flashable zip is not working) inside the META-INF folder with an update-binary got from a zip that works in your phone.
7) if ur work with that folder complete then zip that folder.
8) now open ZIPsigner
-choose input
-Give address to ur zip u have created
-Give address to output where the flashable zip will be saved!!
(as explained above in SIGN APK)
9) Choose auto-testkey as key.
10) press Sign !!

Nice guide but some steps can be reduced if we use zarchiver instead of using root explorer.

Link updated in guide!! u can also download zipsigner by clicking here!!

In many cases there is no need to change updater-script !! It can only edited by notepad++ or high end text editor for android 3.0+ !!
But any one add his/her signature in updater-script then that signature will appear while flashing that zip!!
So its important to don't change it if u don't want another's signature in ur zip!!
Thanks 4 ur support !!

Editing update-script is really necessary for flashing zips like pushing/replacing apps in system and you can add there an auto-mount feature. Anyway, nice guide. :cheers:

Make app. signed apk through "BytecodeEditor.apk"

Its easy zarchiever allows us to add or remove files from a zip you can just edit a flashable zip that works on your phone to add the files you want and delete the ones you dont want. And then jst sign it using your method.

[Q] File Manager in HTC Desire 816

Hi Friends,
Need a helping hand.....
I am a Samsung smartphone user and now jumped to HTC Desire 816. i want to view my files and folders (as normally you can see ur internal memory SD card memory files in samsung smartphones) in HTC.
is there a hidden inbuilt apps or ineed to download any application from google play store.

Nope. After kitkat 4.4, google limited the external sdcard as read-only for 3rd party apps. Thus all file explorers were broken and no longer to create or delete files beside the "application specific" folders.

You have to download a file manager app from the play store. File commander and es explorer are good.

I would beg to differ on that. it's all going fine in Desire 816. ES Explorer am using and there is absolutely no issues in accessing root folder, SDCARD or anywhere. :good::victory:

U are only able to accessing it not Modifying it . Without rooting it's not possible now (we al know, due to kitkat restrictions). I myself tried many file manger on desire 816 but with no success .(Some explorer can do one task ). I found only these ways to modifying sd card data without root.

One would need root to modify root folder. but ext-sd/SDCARD is working all fine for me . Indian Stock ROM

Thanks guys... it worked with downloading an Astro File Manager as it is easy to view and modify the contents.
ES Explorer may be good but i found it quite confusing.
need to download another App for moving apps to SD ------- APPMNGRIII

File cannot be modified... kitkat restriction!

How are u able to modify files on SD card? because SD card has(only) read only permission... and Files can neither be moved or copied from internal storage to External storage/SD card....nor within the External Storage/SD card!
Can u plz help with this issue? without rooting...because if we root, warrenty becomes void!
and 1 more issue! - Files are absolutely not visible on Polaris 5 app's file browser...it displays as - No items!

A stock file manager would have by passed the kitkat related issue..
samsung has stock file manager, so it has the permission to write on sd card..thats why on my note 3 i can modify sd card files without rooting..
but htc doesnt have a stock fil;e manager..thats why we are facing problems..

Thank you so much. I was waiting for ages for the upgrade for this file!!!!

If I am not wrong I was able to delete, paste onto SDcard in earlier KK devices like Note 3, Galaxy S5 and Xperia Z2. Wondering why KitKat restriction is only with HTC.
