hi falks ,
i have tried the 3 available sources of aku 3.2 rom on this beloved forum, from the 3 UNI gladiators ; the same problem occuring in each rom; icons fail to be retreived from apps on the sdcard, forum gurus had a vision that this is becoz the sdcard is not loaded on startup..... also , it is impossible to use an sdcard app on the startup folder, probably for the same reason, is there any way to work around this , or perhaps set a delay on startup apps untill they r able to be read from the sdcard ??????
hale to the uni genius guys, they help to make our life easier
Did you see this in my ROM?
And what are you trying to run from your SD card?
indeed
yes indeed , i m using your beautiful rom currently, 94 ...
i tried to put mobitools on the startup running from the sdcard , however , system couldnt find it on startup . yet after system complete the startup process ( 60 sec may be) , i can run mobitools manually. ( this is why i was thinking of setting a delay before running startup apps .
any , the MOST annoying bug i incountered in the THREE roms (lt.comdr, indra, jwr) was that ALL today plugin lounchers applications FAILED to retreive icons from any app installed on the sdcard, instead , it shows the ugly generic windows standard exe icons (and sometimes even a folder icon) .
i used most of the available lounchers including : spb plus 3.4 , handy shortcut, clouncher, shortcut manager , and even the START menu itself, shows the same problem.
- browsing the sdcard using explorer does not correct the problem.
- i m using sandisk ultra II sdcard (2gb) with a FAT32 system.
For your kind care ,
Let me look into it. I will try a few setting changes and such to see what I can figure out, if anything at all....
I will keep you posted.

P.S. I released a newer version of my ROM 1.90.96 WWE, I suggest you upgrade if possible (It contains a few corrections and patches)
i already downloaded it , can u tell us what are the changes?
will flash it now

Hi, I have a similar with the same version, it seems that the SDCARD is loaded with lots of delay. For my part, i had modified the registry to point email folders to SDCARD, with work well. When i soft reset, a directory Storage Card is created under root and the SDCARD is mounted as Storage Card2. As workaround, I deleted the fake Storage Card directory and unplug and replug the SDCard and the mount was then ok. But problems reappear after soft reset.
Anybody can help here?

I think I remember someone else have this problem before, but I could not remember how they solved it. Did you reformat your SD card using your computer?

I am using AKU 3.2 version .94 and spb pocket plus 3.1.2 ( latest version ), and I have more than 15 programs installed on my 4Gb SD card. All of them have an icon in SPB, and they never disappear. Could it be that you SD is slower ? Mine is a 150x Transcend card.
I have tested the Start menu behaviour also. I placed two SD-based program links in the start menu, and made a soft reset to see if the icons will still be there : NO, they disappear. So there I see the same problem unfortunately...

I installed AKU 3.2 1.90.96 on my qtek9000, from programs on sd-card, (like sprite backup, mobipocket reader, magic ss, tcpmp, opera, PromilleCheck, StDict, Skype) created icons with TC under Start Menu/Programs and everyone works fine, after more soft resets also. It's a noname sd-card, 155X.
In Windows\Start Menu\Programs are *.lnk files, like this: xnpocket.exe lnk. Content: 56#"\Storage Card\Program Files\XnView Pocket\xnpocket.exe"
well, i installed spb plus 3.1.2 , and i reformated the sdcard into fat16 using pocket mechanic , without a fat backup , BUT NOTHING CHANGED, still the same problem

Ok so this sounds strange but I was recently very close to tapped out of space on my 8gig shipped micro sd card.. I recently deleted a movie that I encoded to .mp4 on it.. I used Astro to delete the file which was over 1gigabyte in size.. here is the problem.. file looks like it's gone yet the space was never re allocated to "free space" Any ideas?? Maybe it was flaged hidden? Can someone please help?
Have you tried hooking it up to yuor PC and seeing if the file shows up (you can set to view hidden though i dont think you can hide in astro) this should help you see if the file is acctually gone.
Something else i always forget to do is clear out some old nands as they take up 200ish+ mb each i flasha lot and always forget till i see i am low on space to clean up the folder and get rid of a few old ones.

Yes that's exactly what I tried. I also searched for it. Does Android possibly auto move it to Rom if your copy to SD doesn't have capacity? This is really strange..
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"
When I boot up my phone, the first thing it says that there's not enough space to complete some kind of action(see attached picture below). I have more than 2GB free space on sdcard and almost 6GB free space on external sd, even in file system root I have 1gb/2gb space.
I have cm10.
what does it mean? what does it want? and why does it says that? and what "action" does it talk about??
I wouldnt care if it will be just this message,but since it started this, the phone seems to be more unstable(sometimes it loses wifi/cell signal,have to press lock button 3 times to wake up,and stuff..), so I decided to make a clean reinstall anyway, but it would be great if some of u had any ideas what causes this
I've experienced something similar. I use to mount the storage on my win7 laptop and use to copy/delete files from them. Suddenly it was not letting me copy anymore telling me that the storage is out of space and when i saw it it showed free space which got me confused.
So i went ahead and set windows to show all hidden files and OS files. On the storage there was a "recycle bin" having 1.6 gb of data . I deleted the folder and all was fine.
Maybe your's is a completely different issu,e but you can check for the above.

hm, I set it to show all hidden and "protected os files" (I have windows 8 on my netbook), but no "recycle bin" can be seen.. :S maybe I'm missing some more options to show that, or looking in the wrong place
Hi!
Just updated my HTC One M8 to 5.0.1. I thought I would be able to R/W SdCard finally, but NO!
When I'm asked to grant access, I hit Grant, and then when I select SdCard (external) error pops up with : "Documents has stopped working". I used Solid Explorer (to delete or create folder), ES File Explorer (same), Quickpic (to delete picture). Of course "stock" File Explorer is working fine.
I tried: disabling Docs, G Drive, etc., uninst. updates and nothing helps.
Has someone got this too? Or is it only on my side?
Thanks!

I have this problem too and i hate it. I dunno what to do. Only the system filemanager can write on sd card.

Now that Lollipop no longer requires root permission to gain access to the SD card, most file managers will be working to add compatibility fairly quickly.

I have formatted sd card in WINDOWS without disk label - NOT WORKING
Formatted WITH disk label (in my case "SanDisk") - WORKING!
Odd...
Thx guys!

Gutec solution worked really nice.
I have a HTC M8 (Lollipop) and i was fighting to make SD work with no luck ... neither from HTC.
And now a guy comes with one simple step and everything working as it should.
Why HTC or any other company didn't figure out this solution and didn't give directions that solve the problem ..... and Gutec i really wan't to know how you come with this solution?
Anyway thanks a lot
format it as fat32
it's incredible that you format an SD with Android, and still cannot use the card.
Format it as Fat32 and Label as discribed by gutec WORKS!
THANKS!
I've got to say that my SD card is in fact formatted FAT32, without any set label and I don't have any problem writing to it. I can't imagine the drive label being important for anything, unless there is some really weird bug in Android.
thank you so much
So simple. Just label the sd card and problem solved. Didn't figure that out yet, glad you did.
RE:
HTC M8 European version.
Android 5.0.1 official update.
No root.
Cannot write to sd card with 3rdparty apps. Except copilot, none are working.
My card has a label, tried formatting with phone and windows pc with no positive result, same problem persists.
what else can I do?
thanks to the post above my problem was fixed. Also its not necessary to format too(i didnt cs mine was already fat32 so i didnt bother). Just adding a label to sd card will do. seems Documents app cannot open the card while its unlabeled

Hi guys. If you did everything and still not able to see the card, you should try some extra steps.
In the "Grant permissions" screen use three dots menu and check "Show SD card" and after that you will be able to see it and selected. This worked for me.

Hi gutec,
Thanks for the tip, worked for me. :good:
External SD had no label, e.g. app "Nokia here" couldn't find maps on external card.

It seems important that it is FAT 32 - if NOT Fat32 then you have to reformat to FAT32 ( I had a 64gb sdxc)
