I seem to have the a problem with viewing a newly downloaded apps, Link2SD and Superuser Pro.
I have installed and uninstalled these apps more than once, I have benn asking around but this seems unique
The apps aren't in the SD but they show in the app drawer only so that I can delete them.
But no luck over here. I have a rooted ARC S running on 4.04.
Other apps download and work fine but this one in particular as well as Superuser pro
I am trying to take advantage of a recently installed 32g SD card that I partitioned with the Minitool partition .
won't show on the application screen. Finding a solution has not been easy.
The apps show everywhere except on the applicationthe screen.
A little frustrating I'd say. Does anybody else have a similar problem?

hello,
ive made a newbie mistake and moved ALL the apps i could to sd card resulting in the fact that i can download apps from market or internet but notINSTALL. ahhhh it says installing forever!!!! when i open manage applications the option to move to phone is grey and i cant press it or uninstall or change in any way. you guys probably know a lot more about it than me and i would realllllly appreciate any help you can give me. everything else works correctly except the option all the time to choose sense or launcher and the different application viewer 3d.
and also it keeps poppin up all proccesses on the right hand side of the screen (see image) i cant uninstall or install apps. what do i do??? thanks again, eiran
+1 for me too. I can download but not instal. Out of 32 apps downloaded Ive only been able to install, Adobe 10.1, App Brain, Titanium, and E!.

All my downloaded apps are gone from the android market (my apps tab). Anyone know how to fix this?
SD card problem?
what do you mean sd card problem? I search and found somewhere that it is a bug I also think so and i don think that it is the sd card's fault... thx for the reply tho
Lol. Cause you may save all downloaded apps to your SD card, and probably your SD card is no longer functioning. thats why you are unable to see those apps. What bug is that? you're currently using stock ROM?
My apps are all fine but when I open the market and go to the my apps tab it says " no application downloaded " and now I cant see updated apps
solved restore one of my recent backup
Titanium Backup can reconnect applications installed and their market links I believe.
Hi everyone,
In panic mode right now...
I downloaded an app that helps you find all your apps that can be moved to the sd card. So it found 150 or so. After an hour of manually moving each one, I had over 400mb of free internal space and only like 40 apps left on the main phone storage. Awesome... but then this morning I noticed that things were running real slow... so I rebooted my phone. When it came back up I noticed some of my home screen shortcuts had become generic android icons. I went to my launcher & lots of apps were missing. I have a LOT of apps so I can't quite confirm yet whether its all the apps I moved to sd but it seems that way.
When I go to the market I see apps that I had yesterday as not installed. I have astro but I'm not quite sure what folder to look in to see if the apps are all still there, just not being seen by the android system maybe?
I've been driving all morning so I haven't gotten to research this much yet. Just rebooted a couple times hoping to fix it but no luck yet.
Any help is majorly appreciated. As soon as I'm at a computer ill be working on this all day. Freakin disaster!

update to my question
so now that i'm in to work i can mess with this... quick update...
when i go to manage applications and go to "on SD card" i get a big list of apps that have the names like "cn.miren.browser" instead of Miren Browser and "com.alphonso.pulse" instead of Pulse which is kinda normal except usually they then refresh with the regular name and the size listed underneath. well it's been sitting here for 5 minutes now and hasn't change and it still says "Computing..." under each one and instead of the normal icons, its sort of a grayed out generic Android icon with an SD in the bottom right corner of the icon.
so clearly it still knows that these apps are there. it just maybe can't access them? i dont know. could it be the sd card? this is the original 8gb sd card that came with the g2...
any thoughts?
???
so i found out that the sd card had some errors in the file system. so i let windows fix the errors. no help (although my phone boots WAAAAAYYYYYY faster now).
so then i found that i have an extra 8gb microsd laying around (which also happened to be a better, class 6 one too). so i cleared it off and copied over alllll the files to it. booted up. STILL NO GO.
anyone have any ideas here? i'm really running out of ideas here.
when i boot, everything runs great, but all my apps that are installed to sd are gone. also it never says "preparing sd card" in the status bar when booting. then if i go to manage applications it never finishes "computing" the size of apps. if i go to "on sd" it shows all my apps, but says computing, and i can't access them, uninstall them, move them, etc. i'm totally out of ideas here and i really don't want to have to do a system restore.
anyone?
think im having the same problem . has ur market gone too?
fix?
ok so i ended up getting mine fixed using these steps that someone from a company that makes an apps2sd app sent me... the only difference i had to do was since my phone also wouldn't recognize my pc, i had to pop the sd card into my pc directly to delete the .android_secure folder... i don't want to mess up your phone or anything so make sure to read around a bit more before trying this, but this is what worked for me. after i started adding all my apps back one by one i've been fine ever since.:
"I guess the problem is ".android_secure" is not recognized by Android.
Would you try the following steps (I am not sure if it works)?
1. mount phone with PC
2. backup all files under .android_secure
3. delete .android_secure directory
4. unmount
5. try to move an app (any app) to SD card (it forces Android to
create .android_secure on SD)
6. mount phone with PC
7. restore all backuped .android_secure/* files to .android_secure
8. unmount => check if it recognized the apps that you moved to the SD card"
I am attempting to install clockwork mod on my Samsung galaxy s3 and want to know if the Samsung Galaxy s3 (metroPCS) in the setup is the right install for model number SGH-I747M. Im asking this because when rooting my phone i used the wrong Samsung root and ending up bricking my phone. I then went to a store where they do that kind of stuff and got them to recover and install root for me. Im still running on stock firmware thou. Wondering also if im fine with stock firmware 4.1.2, but would stock firmware limit me in any way for root apps?
Termal emulator the java enabler scripted for dolphin doesn't work for me. Also someone link me to that muiltitouch scripted.
DroidSailAPP2SD sometimes when i have it guided to install to SD card it says insignificant space for some apps. I deleted the cache for playstore like i read on another post and i think that worked maybe.
when i click on install to sd card it just brings me to the app info page. Is that normal or is there soppost to be some sort of progress bar.
If I install on sd card and take out the card will the apps be disabled or will it crash?
Just installed ADfree didn't seem to get rid of adds on tetris. Maybe i have to set it up some how?
Rom toolbox seems like, a all around program. Worth the full version?
uninstaller app worked wonderfull.

I went in the dolphin settings and checked and there is a flash box i picked it. I think it has flash now. haven’t checked. The forum i must of read was prob old and they added it in a newer update.
I really think apps are not installing on SD card. I looked under clockwork mod and theirs an option to partition the SD card for installation of apps. Like I said I press the install to SD card and it goes to app info page on a different app. I don't see any transferring bar or anything. Next time i gotta see how much memory i have to compare.
Is that what I was I soppost to do? I still haven’t installed clockwork mod im afraid of it being a different version still.
i don't think Droidsail is doing anything. I select the file then click on move selected app and it asks me for root access and when it does it goes to the app info page. No progress bat or anything.
I found another app called foldermount witch I think makes a directory on your sd card with the app. looks like it works. looking at the folder it seems that it just copys the app. When i check how big the app folder is it's the same size both on the sd card and internal. Apps are located at Android/data right?
I need a answer for the clockworkmod asap.
I found another thread about Mounts2sd.It requires me to make a SD-EXT partion do i do this by enabling the cache-move the cache partion to data or sd-ext. going to read the thread thouly
If this is the wrong forum please direct me to the correct place but I have a few issues and questions.
I'm running 10166 on a 640, I don't know if I can update to the latest without a PC but I don't have access to one until October 30. Clarify if I can?
Another problem. Is there known issues with SD app installations? I can't seem to find a list of known issues for my older build, it runs great aside from some new problems I discovered since I just got an SD.
If I install an app to the card, which is the default option and is selected on each choice in Storage.. Some apps on the store wont install and tell me to change where I install apps. I do and retry, it says same thing. I'm sure that changing any of those options doesn't work at all. Sometimes the system loses the SD and it basically shows as not inserted, to which makes me restart and once up again, the apps on the card are all broken and tell me to reinstall, if I go to the store and click Open, the app works fine so it's a shortcut bug apparently. I can't even remove the card and try to install some apps that won't go on a card. Messenger is one app I cannot install no matter what I try since I got my memory card.
Other than this card issue and how ugly and slow the store is, everything else is great.
Oh one more thing, when I reset this build recently, it seems like backup and restore doesn't work very well? It definitely lost all my bookmarks how do I save them? It also applied a lock wallpaper I haven't had in 3 months, and I don't know what else it's supposed to back up but nothing else but texts and a couple random apps restored.
Whoever reads all this thank you for your time hopefully someone can help in any way, reddit sucks for adequate help.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First of all, you can update to any preview build without a PC
Later when RMT does release, which will probably be a previous build than the ones we use as insiders.
The SD card has been spoken about in numerous blogs and forums, some apps need to install on the phone and have no permission to install on SD card, in that case, change storage settings to let apps install on phone, install the app from store and them swap it again to SD card.
The store is a lot lot better on build 10536
Theres a bug on 10536 where apps that cant install on SD and only phone, WONT install, its a know bug which Microsoft is fixing
