I just wiped my phone and see all of my apps there because I installed them before to my sdcard.
But when I go to the Market, they are no longer in "my downloads." So... how do I know if an update comes out for them?
Thanks.
Do you use aTrackDog?
No. I don't know what That is...
I reccomed reinstalling all your apps as you may have an issue with running them properly. If you paid for an app you can download it again and they will show up in your "my downloads" atrackdog is a 3rd party program that will check for up dated versions of your apps by using a p2p like protocal. It works for apps that you have that are not on the market like wireless tether and g-arcade.
But really reinstall all your apps. Use atrackdog. You can manage them from there.
Just wondering... Won't this happen every time I wipe then? The apps still show up in the "drawer" where all the apps usually are, just not in the marketplace. So... if this does happen everytime you wipe (the phone, ), then what's the whole point of apps2sd? Please clarify. Thank you.
The point is to free up the phones internal memory and keep it from lagging when the free memory gets below 20mb. Also a sdcard class 6 is slightly faster than the internal memory. Besides would you rather have 80 megs total to download programs or 500 megs?I wouldn't want to have to uninstall last.tm to play a game
I get that... but... if I wipe the phone, the apps will show up again once I put the new rom on it. However, there's no way to check if the apps have been updated by the developer since your downloads no longer show up in the market's "my downloads." So... Is there a way to fix that or a way around that..?
Currently there is no known workaround
Use atrackdog. Its available in the market. It won't auto notify you. Personally I run it every few days and it works great. If an update is available you can go directly to the programs market page and install the update.
Edit: you can always reinstall them
start all over i guess.. i do this all the time just to try a rom
format Fat32/Ext2 both it will format installed apps.. ur paid apps will be there regardless
wipe
flash the build
set-up app2sd before installing ur apps
then start serching all the apps u had
yea its alot of work but atleast i see my apps updates
I did this (but didn't start downloading apps yet) and for internal storage in settings>sdcard/storage, it shows internal storage free space is 840mb. Is that normal? Its just reading my ext3 partition as the internal storage,right? I did NOT set up apps2sd files or anything yet, but when I installed one app I looked at the free space again and it went down under "internal storage" instead of sd card. That would be normal EXCEPT for the fact that the internal storage free space is showing 800 something megabytes...
PLEASE HELP- Thanks!

Its a bug in the build. As long as you have a ext2-3 partition. Any Rom that is a2sd enabled should see it automagically.
You did nothing wrong. Install any app and look in your system/sd/app folder and see if it is there. If its a paid app? Check system/sd/app-private
Thanks man- I really appreciate it. So far out of a many responses over many threads, you're the only one to give a response.

I recommend using the app -BackUp For Root Users- before wiping and flashing a new rom. On the second page is an option to backup and restore your Market Database file. I assume you can probably back up the same file using Terminal but I'm no expert on it, nor do I know the location of the Android Manifest file. If you save this file and restore it after a fresh install it will restore your My Downloads section in the Market and thus show you when updates are available.
As for currently, you'll have to reinstall your apps from the market first.
Why is this? My app2sd space is 300+mb but why it seems like my apps installed in my phone memory?
I need to uninstall some my apps to get rid of the Low On Space message in the notification bar

1)verify your apps are actually on the ext partition. Use Root explorer to verify the links.
2)try "cachesd"
3)try "datasd", seriously slows down boot-up.
edit: Thought you meant apps2sdext by darktremor.
A2SD doesn't move the entire app to the SD card, only part of it. I believe that if you are root, there is a method known as A2Ext which makes use of a partition the user makes on the SD card and treats that partition as if it were part of the internal memory, thus making it unnecessary to use A2SD. Can someone with more knowledge on this topic clarify this?
i've had the same problem for the last 6 months, never been able to fix it. I have 20 mb internal storage left, and a2sd is definitely working (partition shows up in Titanium Backup, and i have a LOT more apps than would fit normally on internal). Someone recommended I move my dalvik-cache to sd, never tried it, but I'll look at it soon.

Ive tried typing a2sd cachesd in terminal emulator. But my phone memory are still decreasing after i install sniper vs sniper online from 30mn to 20mb. And now the Low On Space message are back on my notification bar.
And yes, i use darktremor app2sd.
Other suggestions of what to type in the terminal emulator?

You guys definitely need to move the dalvik cache to SD. I forget the exact term to type into terminal emulator but I think there is an a2sd app available on the market which you can use to do it. Its called A2SDGUI

I have installed it. It says my dalvik cache are on sd-ext. Other suggestions?

like britoso said, try datasd. that should clear up a lot of space
I had a similar issue..not sure if my solution will work in your case, but worth a shot:
In Root Explorer, go to the "/Cache" folder
Delete all the "downloadfile-(number).apk" files
See if that fixes it
It seems as though the marketplace gunks up that folder whenever it's updating an app, or something along those lines.
I have the exact same issue. I'm always hovering around 20MB
have you tried flashing the dark tremor's script that does the trick for me
i have 208 free memory, and i cant install titanium backup, its writing that there is no enough free memory.

can i move the system app updates to the system to save the space? did something change in 4.2 since 2.3 i have to look for?

You're not saving space by moving them as a system app.

How so? When a system app is updated, is only the updated portion stored outside of /system and not the whole app?

The system folder is on the same internal storage than the rest of your phone. It makes no sense to move downloaded apps to the system folder to "save space." that's like saying, I want to save space on my computer let me put this file in my windows folder to save space.
It just doesn't make any sense. The only reason why someone would want a app in system would be a app to stay there after flashing a update to your rom such as a security app such as cerbereus

are you sure i would not save space?
lets take Gmail.apk as exmple.
Gmail came preinstalled with my phone, this means there is a Gmail.apk on the "virtual" system partition.
now i install the google play Gmail update. this means the gmail.apk update will be installed in the "virtual" data partition, i could be wrong here because i am new to 4.2 and the nexus 4. anyway now i can uninstall the updated and go back to the preinstalled Gmail version.
titanium backup shows me "the integrate update to system" option for 16 Google apps i am sure that is about 200mb.
United is talking about moving the apk's to the system ROM. This will save space on the internal/SD card storage, as it is a separate partition (I believe).
You will save space by integrating to the roms system via titanium.

Hi,
I'm using official CM12 (CM12 have native app2sd and native root), don't need install nothing more.
In configuration select Apps
In right side top have 3 vertical dots, select it
In Preferred Install Location select external SDcard
Go back to Apps, select one and select move to SDcard.
In stock 5.0.2 you need root and app2sd to better control apps in internal and external memory.
