Hello,
So I was using the latest nightly of CyanogenMod 13. If I adopt the SD card as internal storage and move some apps to the SD card, those apps will disappear after reboot. Even the apps list doesn't have the disappeared apps. After a few minutes, these apps appeared back. It's really annoying. Anyone know any workaround for this? Or can @PecanCM fix this?

May be if you change your launcher like nova or something else.

I already knew that nova launcher fixes the problem, but i'm a student and my teacher doesn't allow us to use the phone during the lessons and I need to quickly access the apps after turning on the phone. Also the battery is worn out and it often gets low really quick and shuts down itself. So I need a full workaround for it or even code patching by PecanCM.

Just created a folder to put my games in and noticed that some of the icons change after a reboot to a generic market icon.
If I take the app out of the folder and add it again it comes back.
Is there a fix for this or is it a bug with Froyo?
Did you change memory cards in between? I ask because some apps get saved onto the memory card and changing it will obviously mean that ur dhd can't access it......hope that helped

This seems to happen randomly to me aswell.

No. Same card.
This only seems to happen when you move the apps to SD card moving them back to phone remove and re-adding them fixes it or use folder organiser from the market

This happened to me with Launcher Pro for apps on memory card, but if you restart launcher pro, the icons should be normal again.
I noticed this too and came to the forums for an answer, however I found my own answer.
I believe it's related to the apps with data stored on your SD card. When your phone boots up it takes awhile to check the SD card, by that time it's already checked for the icons for the programs in your games folder.
A quick solution is to hit the personalise button, then the first option marked Scene, change the scene, change it back and you get your icons back without having to drag them back out
If you connected to PC via USB, this can cause the sdcard un-mount by the DHD. Reboot will solve it.

wow udk how greatful i am man xda always fixes these lil annoying issue!!thanks so much mate =D i found this issue so annoying i was going to change from virtuous unity..haha..u saved my life man!=p
How can I tell which apps can be moved to sdcard without issues. If you use a widget for a certain app you have to leave it on the phone's memory right? I am using CM7 and I was wondering since it allows you to move all apps or should I uncheck move all apps and then the ones that you are allowed to move will they still have that option? Thanks Again!
Right, apps have to be in phone memory for you to use their widget. I use App2SD (there is a free version) to keep track of what can be moved, is on phone memory, and is on SD.
i was using app2sd up till 3 days ago.
just bought Titanium Backup and i swear i saw somewhere in a batchsomething(?)...
found out i can move more than app2sd would let me do.
cant remember where i saw it @?????
Titanium is good for moving apps to SD too. Hit Menu, then Batch, scroll down to "Move/Integrate". It will let you batch move apps to SD or back to internal. If you have the Pro version it will batch all of them. Even the paid version of App2SD makes you select "Move to SD" for every app.
But, for moving one or two apps back and forth I still prefer App2SD. As soon as you launch it, it shows what apps are internal and external.
Now my next question is...
Are there any certain apps u would leave on on the phone?
I.E. stability issues?
Not dissing on app2sd, it has been a loyal soldier;
why has titanium allowed me to move more apps?
Been considering tasker next.

just how it was programmed. to be able to move any and everything i am guessing. i tried App2sd and it didnt move all the things i needed it to like Titan did.
You don't want to move launchers or anything your phone needs when it boots. I'd say any system app that you shouldn't remove shouldn't be moved to the SD card, since your phone will fail without it.

Leave any system app, on the phone. The only user apps that "need" to be on the sdcard are widgets, or anything that may need to read the phone state, like an alarm clock app/widget.
Heyy guys
Has anyone noticed that if you arrange the icons on the arc when the phone is restarted the icons all move around...
Is this just me or has it happened to others?
Thanks,
Jinx13
I got same issue, upon every restart the phone shuffles the icons adding new windows and places 2 or 3 icons on window or so...
What I've noticed is that this only applies to apps stored on the SD card, anything stored on the phone memory will stay in place.

Yeah...
Is it possible to be the low-class SD doing this? The standard default SD Card included in Arc's box is Class 2 I believe.
Could higher class SD card fix this? Can someone with Class 4-6-8-10 share impression please?
It is strange tough, I'm using the SD card provided with the Arc and dont have any problems.
I read some people did have problems with the launcher but that was fixed in SEs latest android version, are you guys on the latest version ?
more people are having this problem :
Touranaga said:
Regardless the complainings about the Arc I would definitely say that is a faulty phone. I have mine for 2 mounts now and the only problem i experience is when i reboot the phone occasionally it shuffles the icons...no lag, no delay. It's a truly worthy phone.

Same problem..Sandisk class4..latest firmware
Glad to hear it's not just me lol I also have the latest version 2.3.3
I didn't actually notice that it was only the apps on the SD card that moved till it was mentioned
Using 2.3.3 here as well.
Hope this will be fixed in upcoming updates, cause its annoying...not that i restart my phone often, but nevertheless when you do you need to spend some time to re-arrange all the icons back again or just scrolling arround till you find that you need.
Depends on how many craps you have installed on you phone lol.
Brah.
Have same issue with icons.
2.3.3 did not help at all.
Anyone else having this issue? It seems to happen every time i connect to my pc to transfer a file using ES file explorer pro. After the session, many deskop icons disappear from many screens on my phone. Getting to be a real PITA.

Do you have your sd card merged with main memory? If you reformat it as removable storage it will probably fix that (but you will need to reinstall some apps). This fixed my disappearing icons.

No but it is formatted as internal storage therefore encrypted and that was my next step. Now I remember this happened to me in jellybean after using apps to SD. Its actually Widgets mostly but apps too. Thanks a bunch for the reply and jogging my android memory. Knowledge is only useful for the young minds that can retain it.

hi i'm having app issues since i have android 11.
some emulators that I have (dolphin) do not have access to the microsd folder where I have the roms.
does this happen to you? Is there any solution? wait for the application update?
thanks
we'll just have to wait until devs update apps to be compatible with scoped storage
Yep, my microsd is readable till my phone lock himself. After that it dismount the card and I have a try at next day... same thing happens again and again. I didn't found a solution,but I still have 120 Gb free space in phone...
Meh... that's one reason I'm staying on Pie.
If I wanted scoped storage I have gotten a bloody Apple.
Is it possible for samsung to fix that microsd bug? or should it be google?

Assuming Google gives Samsung the leeway to fix it, Samsung could... eventually.
Lol, took over a year for them to fix the Buds firmware
Does anyone know of an e-mail to contact Samsung?

You can phone them in the USA. Their tech support is pretty much worthless.
Best bet is a Google search but the OS is very new so it's going to be slim pickens. You might luck out though. Try other makes and models as it may be a shared issue.
I don't fully understand: the problem accessing your SD card is with any app, or with some particular apps? If the problem is with any app, this is a major bug that makes unusable a hardware section. Can you please clarify please? Thank you very much.
Update: I have read more about "scoped storage", and I think that the problem is only with apps that "need" to access beyond its own storage (like file managers, photo managers, etc). In that case, I think that the solution is just to keep with "old API" version of those apps, that will not have the Andoid 11 "scoped storage". I hope I am ok.

If you have Magisk: have you tried tze Magisk module mentioned here in XDA https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/module-exsdcard-write-access-enabler-5-0-8.3670428/?
Hello ! I am still trying to understand "scoped storage" before upgrading my Note 10+ to Android 11.
Does anybody know what will happen if using an "old" application targeted for APIS older than 30 ? Is it possible that old APKs still are allowed to access the SD Card ?
Example: I have a couple of apps (file managers type) used to do some back-ups to the SD Card. Using AppChecker, I have found that they are API 28 and API 29. So these APKs can still access SD Card under Android 11 ?
Thank you very much in advance.
