I used the new improved method of moving apps to the sd card and it worked great. However my sd card got taken out without unmounting it and now i cant access my apps. The fat32 partition still works but i cant seem to get it to relink to the other partition. All the apps have the broken symbol on my home screen and are not in the drawer. I tried rebooting and unmounting remounting but im not getting anywhere.
Also, when opening the Apps2sd app it says card not partitioned properly, it is possible it borked my ext2 partition and is there a way to check?
anyone know how to get the OS to see the apps again?

I don't know when did this started happening actually, I flashed a number of roms in the past couple of days, but I can't get rid of this stupid notification and its really driving me crazy!
When I mount my SD card so I can transfer files from PC and the unmount I get the error "Damaged SD Card - SD card damaged you may have to reformat it"
The thing is reformatting does not solve it, and when I have this notification nothing that accesses the card works (music, photos, astro..)
I tried reflashing my rom again which made the error go away for a while but after some mount-unmount I have it again!
I have a non-branded HTC magic (32A) with Cyanogen 4.2.3 and Enoch theme and RA's recovery image and NO apps2sd
Any help?
Thanks
fixed it
Okay I got it to go away, I formatted from the recovery menu (fat32 only)
and I turned off the swap file and uninstalled the swapper app.
No problems so far!
i've found that rebooting the phone makes the sd card damaged error message go away
and that rebooting my pc actually solved the problem of the pc not seeing the sdcard
but that may just be temporary, i dont know
Strange SD Card!
When I mounted my SD Card I was receiving an error and was asked to Scan or Continue. I chose scan and then it looks like it mounted fine. I can view all the folders and files but if I try to copy any files to the card or try to create a folder I get an error saying the Drive is not available and it is no longer mounted. I put the card in a card reader and I received the Scan option again and I scanned it to fix any errors but it doesn't find any. I then can copy, delete and modify anything on the card. I put the card back in the phone and mount the card. No issues until I try to copy, delete or modify and it unmounts and will not work. I have the original T-Mobile Rom and I have not rooted it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Hello,
I have Hyperdroid GBX v12 and updated with UNoffical Patch for GBXv12 by disco_hk.
I have re partitioned my 8gb sd card to ext4 partition using the guide by Sentinel196 here. I've checked it with quick system info and I can see that Apps2SD is working (Total 0.98 GB, Free 841 MB)
When I remove the sd card from my phone to copy files from my computer and re-insert to phone, android freezes. Sometimes it does not freeze but some widgets or apps force close.
Now I can figure it may be wrong to remove sd card because a part of it is considered internal memory by system because of app2sd. But i searched thoroughly and came up with nothing that says "don't remove your sd card from phone while using app2sd" or anything like that.
So is it just me that has problem removing the sd card or is it a default thing.
Thanks in advance...
You are correct, and its because some running apps are on the sd card, along with the dalvik cache, and so when you remove it you are ripping out of chunk of running system.
Either use usb to transfer the files, and or turn off the phone before you remove it.
After turning off my phone today and then back on it says the sd card is damaged and needs formatting. I just got this card last month. Has anyone else had this? I took the back off and put it back on so it's not the switch.
Even my pc says it needs formatting. I moved everything from to the SD with titanium. Does anyone know if that will be a problem if I format?

Your back-ups will all be gone, as will saves from emu's etc. All content that was on the sd card will be gone. If a format fixes the sd-card you can start backing things up again. apps that installed to the sd would probably have to be reïnstalled. If you format with clockworkmod you can create a sd-ext partition besides the normal partition. I believe costum roms like cm7 can use this to make apps transferred to sd run quicker.
I have a nook color with dual boot from sd card. The sd card having an android 3.0 version.
After I got the 1.4.1 update, I noticed that I was able to access the sd card( the boot partition alone) from the stock OS boot of nook.
But now, dont know how, I dont see that anymore.
Was this a flawed update that was fixed or am I missing something.
Do help please.
I could really use the advantage of using the bootable sd card as a regular storage card when using the stock OS of nook. I prefer reading on the stock OS of nook.
Not sure why you're not seeing the SD card anymore, does it still boot?
SD card installs create multiple partitions on the SD card and the Nook will only be able to access the first one (boot). It should be accessible with any version of the Nook default OS.
You should have a media partition with a decent amount of room (1-5gb depending on NC version). That would give you more room than the 100-or-so mb on the boot partition.
Just found out that you can point the emmc install to see the "sdcard" partition of the sd card using the following info:

use root explorer and edit vold.fstab to "4" instead of "auto" for sdcard mount

Yes, I can boot from it. Every time I plug in the SD card, the notification already says that it is safe to remove the SD card. In the device Info part of the setting, the "Unmount SD card" is already greyed, though it does say that the SD card is found.
It is however useful for me to know that the boot partition should always be accessible.
I did remove the SD card a couple of times without unmounting it first, could this possibly have corrupted the card?

Try to boot the uSD card (the one with Android 3.0 on it) and see what happens.
If it can, then it's good, if not, you can say it's corrupted.
Yes, I can boot from it. So I assume the card is OK
I plugged in other uSD cards and they get recognized fine. So I assume the Nook stock OS device recognition is OK.
I should probably recreate the boot partition as a last ditch effort
I had the same problem at first, but now I have mounted the correct sdcard partition that I wanted to mount.
I couldn't get it to work with editing the vold.fstab file at first. Then at some point after I manually mounted the correct partition through adb shell and edited the vold.fstab it now works.
Yesterday I purchased Link2SD Plus for my 128GB micro SD card. Mini Tools Partition wasn't detecting though Link2SD but on converting it to system app and recreating the partition through Apps2SD worked fine for l2sd too.
After linking few apps, I tried linking one obb file of a game and warning popped up saying the filesystem f2fs needs to be converted. It went fine followed by reboot.
Now the SD storage is missing but not the partition, from storage info l2sd. Now also linking possible but not the storage.
Pls help. Only root is visible from file explorer. Can't even take a screenshot.
Thanks.
Solved it somehow because I got to reflash with another ROM. Couldn't acquire a logcat. The attached is the screen shot where it totally makes linking impossible and destructs the partition too.
