[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.

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] root and internal sd

hello
i did this guide to my arc s lt18a 2.3.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18805560#post18805560
in the end of the rooting i get the massage that "All Done..press key to continue"
after the phone reboot himself i didnt notice any superuser (like the phone just do a normal reboot)
i installed root checker and the result was "sry this device does not have proper root access"
what to do?
p.s i did a bootloader hack
second question
if i want to installed the "mooded rom" i can do it without a root?
i try to put the rom into the phone but i just see in the computer the external sd card. i dont find the 1gb internal card
thanks guys and sry for my english.

No custom ROMs without root.
Also most of them require unlocked bootloader.
If you want to root your Arc and it is on GB, the best is to use DoomLorD's rooting script.
If you have unlocked bootloader and don't want to do much, get RootXperia.zip from somewhere and flash it through CWM.

thanks for the comment.
my bootloader is already unlocked.
but i don't understand what to do for rooting.
i tried the "DoomLorD's" but nothing happens.
flash it through CWM

what that mean?
do you mean to install it from sd card?
how i can enter to the cwm?
how i can put the file into the internal storage in the phone? i just see the external sd card.
thanks!

If you don't have a custom kernel with CWM, search for a hotbootable Recovery mode. Flash RootXperia.zip once there.
Also there are a lot of Stock and Custom ROMs pre-rooted so you don't have to do anything.

thanks.
Can I install a ROM while it is on external SD card? because my phone doesnt allow me to put any files on the internal memory (actually i can see the internal storage drive in my computer.. just the external sd card).
thanks

Yes, keep the ROM.zip on your SD card. And then flash it using CWM.

I prefer Foldermount. Lets me mount at boot and it's more versatile.
Did anyone get link2sd to work? I got bootloops
But that was before I did a full root, maybe I should try it again.

Link2SD works perfectly fine on my phone. Rooted with Super SU, Bootloader locked! However you should note that, since the Firmware we are using is stock firmware, it might not have support for EXT2, 3, 4 filesystems as the second parititon of the SD Card, I already tried, so you're going to have to format the second parititon of your SD card using FAT32,using minitool home parititon wizard, then use LINK2SD, it should work perfect. But even then, you can move the App, Dex files and Lib files, which work fine for apps, but the games have an additional SD data or OBB files, which cant be moved to SD card. Meaning to perfectly play games on our Xperia M, you need to have a combination of Link2SD and GL to SD apps, GL to SD helps link./ mount the games on SD card and bind them to the apps, and make them appear as if they were on the internal SD.

Download link2sd and install the app,
Then, connect your memory card via a card reader.
Download Mini Tool Home Partition Wizard(Google it)
open the Mini Tool and select your memory card,
Assuming you backed up the data on your memory card,
Format the drive for best results, and create a new parition, File type FAT32. Type: PRIMARY!! Set the file size...
Leave whatever amount of space you want for the Apps partition.
Then create another partition on the SD card.
It will say that the second partition will not be viewable on Windows, Click OK.
Then change partition type to FAT32... Size is your wish. And Type: Primary!!
Then save changes, Now you should have two partitions on your SD card,
Both are FAT32 and both are PRIMARY!!! -This is necessary.
Then put back the Mem card in the phone,
Open LINK2SD, select second partition as FAT32, reboot the phone, and
You should be able to now expand the memory of your phone... Transfer apps to Memory card!

when i want to install link2sd show me error App not installed

You're not able to install link2sd from play store?

xperia m app2sd problem

hello,i own an experia m c1905 4.3 rooted...the problem is that link2sd or app2sd do not work(it shows that there is not an sd card or my phone does not support it or the sd card is emulated)so is this a problem of the firmware?would it work in 4.1.1?or is a problem of my phone?could anyone help me with this?thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english....!!!!!

Bro xperia m doesn't support moving apps to external sd but you can use link2sd to link your apps to external sd instead of moving, linking will move all the data of the app to external sd, making space on internal sd but you have to make a partition on your external SD if you want to use link2sd using mini partition tool.
So download mini partition tool on your pc, connect your external sd through phone or card reader and make a fat32 partition of 2gb or however you like and then you will be able to use link2sd.

Bro app2sd won't work on any android version in Xperia M but you can use Link2Sd for linking apps to external sd and here is the tutorial link to partition your SD and use link2sd (look at the 4th point) - http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/
And no matter you have locked or unlocked bootloader , you can't transfer apps to sd .... you can only link them.
But if you want you can swap your internal memory to external and vice-versa.

this is exactly what i did and my phone was rebooting all the time so i had to flash the rom again....i made a folder in sd card named 0 and moved all files from internal in there (cut-paste)was this the Wright way?or I have to just copy paste the files???also after the root on 4.3 can i delete thes system.ext4 file cause its too big

Instead of cut/paste try copying the files and look on the 18th page of that swapping sd card thread and follow the step by step guide by "spknair", and yeah you can delete that system.ext4 file now it will be fine.

If you are stuck in boot loop (rebooting after Xperia logo), maybe you are not "full rooted" your handset.
you have to use 'boot fix' to get full root. search for it. test with all available bootfixes available, as I do. I couldn't share my boot fix. its for XMD
why are you still on old firmware?
In my opinion 4.3 is better.
The useful thing I had noticed that its Unicode support of fonts.

Bro, read carefully his first post, he already told that he is on 4.3 rooted , So that's the new firmware and i don't think there's any need for 'bootfix' for 4.3 root .
I think he must be doing something wrong in the swap procedure that's why he is getting a bootloop and that's why i suggested him to look on your post. :good:

First of all, I am also a newbie to Android.
I had make swap my memory more than 4 times.
because I had tried to link2SD work with this.
1. download busybox & root explorer from store & install it
2. download zip file & APK file from OP
3. install intd.apk. open it. tap on 'activate' & 'verify'. Now you could get the verification.
4. make a folder named "0" (zero) 2 @ root of your memory card.
5. move all files & folders to '0' on your memory card
6. move all files & folders from internal storage to '0'
7. if you got any error message, please copy-paste all files & then delete from internal storage.
8. just extract the zip file. you will get 2 folders
9. move these to root. root is the basic location. I you press back ('parent folder' in root explorer) many times you will get to root position.
10. if you got any error message, please copy-paste all files to its respective locations. you have to mount as r/w in root explorer (option as a button)
11. then go to root-system-etc-iniit.d. folder. there will be a file named "11extsd2internalsd", right?
12.set permissions to '11extsd2internalsd' all 9 options (just ticking) from root explorer's menu. (read, write, execute)
13. Reboot.
Never connect your mobile as mass storage
use any application to stop all running processes & apps before moving (step 5)
No need of formatting & flashing (LB)
In my advice please delete .thumbnail folder from DCIM, which will accelerate your moving speed.

the problem is that when i extract the zip into init.d it nothing happens it shows just the two files that are already in the folder....(i use root file manager not root explorer because its not free)

ok i finally did it succesfully...i will write exactly what i did to help others having this problem too...
1.i downloaded this zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2681457&d=1397284566
2.i downloaded this apk from this thead http://click.xda-developers.com/api...pdated for (LB) - xda-developers&txt=this app
3.using ''root browser'' (from play store) i created a folder in sd card 1 named ''0'' (without the quotes)
4.moved all files and folders from sd card 1 to folder 0 (the one that i created in sd card 1)
5.moved all files and folders of sd card 0 in the same folder as in step 4(android folder was still there but all other folders and files were moved)
6.i opened init.d and pressed activate and then verify to see if it was succesfull
7.extracted the zip and cut 11extsd2internalsd file and paste it into system/etc/init.d(before this i set all permision ticks to the init.d folder or else could not move the file in it)the other folder named META-INF i copied it to home of the ''root browser''(i mean to the first screen you see as you open the root browser)
8.i set all permisions to 11extsd2internalsd file(9 ticks)
9.rebooted my phone
10.the swap was done succesfully!!!!
thank you all for your help and for your time!!!!!!!!!

that cause from root issue, you should re root again but not try with towelroot, because you still need to remount reboot fixer. it's not effect i think if v3 too. so you can try with dd flasher rooter for xperia m for full root your device.
but are you sure you want to try link 2 sd? i think stock rom can't do that

I hope i'm not to late!

You can't move apps to sd cards from settings?
If you want to install game to sd card then Insall Xposed and there is a module called Obb On SD. With that your phone will load obb files from SD Card
