My phone is soft-rooted with Framaroot, but when I try to move apps to my SD card. the option is greyed out. Is there a workaround for this?
EDIT:
I found a simple solution that worked for me, maybe it helps someone:
1. I reset my phone to factory settings, let my google acc. sync apps etc.
2. Installed and ran Framaroot (root setting Gandalf).
3. Normal reset phone.
4. Installed and ran App 2 SD, it allowed me to move most installed apps like games to my SD card normally, no other changes necessary.
* Note: When entering android app info, "Move to SD" is still greyed out, but moving apps works when moving from App 2 SD.

Most difficult part for me was literally the partitioning of the SD card and finally the SD fix option did the trick.
Spent a couple of hours trying to get the most optimized partitions configuration for a 32G SD. The first partition have to be the fat32 media one, period... and the Ext3 for the second system partition was the furthest I could get that actually worked, as for the partition table did try the gpt witch is actually more functional than msdos nevertheless the android system did not like it very much, at all.
On a just-bought SD card tables there isn't always an option for two ,or more, primary partitions so had to delete the existing volume and create a new table. Anyways the only part that didn't get is how to fix the swap error I get when try to turn on the 1G swap partition I've created in advance while on PC, for the Partition Tool did nothing close to format after requested reboot. The error is like
Code:
sh: <stdin>[122]: swapon: not found
and
Code:
sh: <stdin>[78]: swapoff: not found
for the turn off the default 0MB swap.
Not really sure what it means but I assume it is some /sh file missing though couldn't find much to do with terminal or busybox applets that, to me, seem related.
Any suggestions, how to fix it?

I'm currently running cyanogenmod 5.0.8, and my 8GB A-Data class 6 SD card should be here soon.
I downloaded a program called swapper 2 and it seems to be working. When I get the new SD card should I stick with this program or do the partition method? Does anyone have experience with this program compaired to the other methods?
I also have Comp cache enabled too. Any thoughts on if I should use both or one?
For App2SD I noticed in the settings you can enable it there but its grayed out. I imagine once I put the new SD card in there it will partition the space for it then?
Thanks for the help. If you have any links to some good info that would be great too.
I think the general consensus is that utilizing a swap partition is much more efficient than creating a swap file on fat32, which figures. Just out of curiosity, does your homescreen reload?
EDIT: Just noticed your A2SD question, it's greyed out because you need to add an ext2/3/4 partition. That's for unofficial Apps2SD which is a hack-job, Google has implimented an official A2SD method in FroYo, however the developer has to specify whether you can Apps2SD-ify their app (I assume because their method moves the apk to the sdcard which can be shared with others, increasing the chance of piracy).

Not sure what you mean by 'does your homescreen reload'. It usually does reappear when I exit an app, but sometimes all the icons/widgets are gone and I have to restart to get them back. Although this happened before I used swapper 2 aswell. doesnt happen very offten.

Good to know that not every app can be put on the sd card. I didn't know that. When I get the new SD card and format a ~512mb ext4 partition; will it automatically move the apps to the sd card, will I have to reinstall the apps to move them, or is that grayed out option (app2sd in settings) allow me to choose (rather attempt, if the program allows for it) which apps to put to the sd card?
Thanks!

Yeah I mean when it has to redraw everything when it gets kicked out of memory. It used to happen every time I excited an app on CM5 and CM6 (nightly build), but now that I've added a 32mb swap file with swapper2 (it doesn't like my partition :'( ) they've all disappeared.

The ext/hackjob method will let you keep any apps on SD
I'm not sure if it will move them for you, but you can physically move the files yourself. It's just a couple of commands in the terminal in a reboot (wont get in to it now, it's 3AM and I'm tired, so I'll probably get it wrong ).
I would like to say that I've always used a partition. In the case that swap kills my SDCard, I would like it to be a certain fraction of the SDCard that dies, not a block here and a block there. I think that's more ocd, though.

How about using an ext3 partition for the phone to use upon boot? Anyone tried Darktremor's app2sd?
I tried with my Galaxy Ace, but after I set Move2SD I'm not allowed whether to move apps to my SD card or to do something different from uninstall the apps as all the options are disabled in the "Manage applications" panel !

Yes those above methods aren't quite helpful. Try Link2SD, it'll surely free your internal storage as it shifts the entire app data as well as library files and dalvik cache to SD. I use the same. =)
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA Premium App
Thank you, it work
I thought SG Ace already had app2sd..(enable by Froyo). Because after I installed any games.. I just use setting inside SETINGS/APPLICATION/MANAGE APPLICATIONS and move to SD..
so what is the major different about Link2sd and Move2SD?
The Froyo way, Apps2SD or Move2SD Enabler still store the dex and library files needed for the application to run, on the internal storage. You will see your /data/dalvik-cache takes up the most space because of this. Whereas in Link2SD method, all of these files are physically stored on your SD card on a second partition which is mounted at boot. They are simply symbolic linked with the original locations.

Sadly Link2SD doesn't work on 2.3.3. There's an unresolved bug / uncompatibility issue and I don't know if/when the developer will come up.
I heard so, that's why I'm not upgrading to Gingerbread yet.
i've tried move2sd, first it work great but then i got this 'unable to install to sd' error when ever i tried to install apps. i have to unmount my sd card then i can install the apps, quite annoying to me, so i formatted my sd card and uninstall move2sd and the error is gone....
Well done !!
It works !! almost all the 3rd party applications run now from SD !
SAVE ME 30 MEGA pure rom memory AND SURVIVE MY GOOD HEALTHY !
Any help how to deal with all the provider rubbish and stinky applications to throw away from phone or moving into the the SD ?

you can try simple2ext but this only works for CM roms. A caveat however. Most, if not all CM roms ported to the SGA are still at RC1 and not final yet. There is a bug which causes the phone to restart when market attempts to install a newly downloaded app. Appears to be CM related.
So you can choose to wait for the devs here to port CM7.1 final for SGA and then try your luck.
Hey all...
I realize there have been several threads about this general topic, but I couldn't find my issues specifically. First, thanks to all the developers for all their work. I've had a blast with my ManNooter'd Nook.
Issues:
1. Using WinImager to an 8 gig Sandisk card. As expected, the "generic.img" supplied in the thread created only one visible partition (for Windows) of about 117 megs. However, I'm not able to resize the partition using any of three different partition managers I tried. I'm doing this before I install CM7. As far as the programs are concerned, I have a 117 card, period. I've tried deleting all partitions and reformatting to the full 7.x gigs, then reimaging, but still no dice.
2. If I do go ahead and install CM7 with the default partition, it works fine and I can boot into the OS. It shows that I've got almost 6 gigs free, so apparently it created the FAT partition. However, I can neither mount the SD card in Windows to copy over the Gapps, nor can I access the card via USB through the Nook. If I put the card in directly to the PC, I get "need to format". If I run it through the Nook's USB, I get two drives popping up in Windows that both say "Insert Disk". So short of downloading from the Internet directly to the Nook, I can't access the card at all.
3. Say I DID want to settle for just downloading. How can I access the "boot" partition to drop Gapps there? I don't see it in File Expert.
Any suggestions for any of these? Many thanks.
Adam
Are you trying to resize the partition BEFORE you put the imaged card in the nook?
If I undrstand what you are trying to do... create a larger boot partition... you MUST resize that before doing anything else.... put the image on the card... resize the only partition on it... then put it in the nook for it to setup the remaining partitions and install CM7...
As for the rest... buy a cheap usb card reader... several internal card readers have issues accessing these cards for some reason.
If you wanted to settle (3) above... you would do the following in terminal emulator on nook or adb shell on computer...
Code:
mkdir /sdcard/boot (only have to do this one time)
mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/boot (has to be done every time... lost on reboot)
That will allow you to access the boot partition via /sdcard/boot directory.
Yes, I'm trying to do this in the order you've mentioned. Blank Card -> Image -> Resize attempt. Prior to Nook. However, I am using the internal card reader. If I can find the cheapo one I've got lying around, I'll try that and see if it helps. On both prob #1 and #2.
Thanks for the command line stuff. I shouldn't need to access that partition often, so losing it on reboot is no big deal.
Many thanks!

Don't use the internal card reader in the Nook. Use a USB reader on your PC, or any reader you might have built in on your PC.
EaseUs Partition Manager is free and can do what you want. That is how I resized mine when I was playing around with Honeycomb.
I actually just re-created my microSD layout with a bigger boot partition. Just make the first partition a FAT16/FAT32 volume and drop the files from VG's boot partition there. While you're at it, you might as well create the other partitions if you prefer to customize. A major gotcha for me was that the first partition had to start at sector 63, not 2048 as fdisk preferred.
In the "you've got to be kidding me" category, retrying the image/resize partition operation worked perfectly using my cheapo $2 card reader that came with a card I bought years ago. Neither the reader in my work PC nor the reader in my nearly new laptop would do this properly, and I used the exact same steps each time. Thanks for the suggestion, Dizzy.
My only problem now is getting Youtube on there. Twice during previous CM7 attempts, I tried flashing Gapps, selected a few of the apps to install including YT, and ended up with a bunch of "can't be found" errors. WiFi was up and running already. It installed Gmail and Talk about nothing else. This most recent try (after the successful resize and CM7 reinstall,) I selected nothing except the required Google Search. It installed without error, but now I can't get YouTube on there via the market.
Edit: I tried reflashing Gapps over itself. VG's recovery picks it up and looks to install it, but I don't get YT and it doesn't run the original setup screens again.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again for the input, all.
Adam
I assume you got your NC straighten out, so no more help, I guess.
As for the Youtube, you have 2 choices
a. Uninstall Market Updater OR reverse back to the older version of Market.
b. Sideloading the Youtube app.

Yep. Good to go on CM7.
I went ahead and sideloaded the version of YouTube I had from my ManNooter'd ROM. The newest version on the Market always gave me problems and didn't seem to want to play any videos. I'm also good to go here.
Thanks again for the help, all. Still can't believe the key was to use the crappiest card reader I could find.

hi all,
I cannot see or mount my sd card. It can be read and written in PC, but my u8800 can't see it.
I loaded 2.3.5 official. After some search I rooted it somehow and installed "x5 settings" application (I dont remember why I installed it, damn). After using "selecting internal/external memory" area and rebootings, my sd card cannot be seen by the device anymore. When I plugged, there is an option "turn on usb storage" but it doesnt work, just turning and waiting when clicked. In the storage settings "mount sd card" doesnt do anything.
I formatted the sd as fat32, tried using it when backups restored and not restored. But doesnt matter.
Btw, my internal sd is completely free (as i see in the storage settings) but i cannot see it when plugged in the computer neither.
any help will be appreciated,
ismail
edit: when dload of 136 is in the memory card and opened in pink screen, it gives an "update failed".
edit2: 138 and 162 does the same, update failed. Again, i cannot reach my internal sd.
edit3: the problem may be not the sd card (update fails because I try to downgrade from 526 to 1xx). however i cannot reach internal sd. making downgrade from internal sd may solve the problem, anyone knows a way to reach it somehow?
Have you tried the trick to remove the battery and put the phone to charger and then installing? And after install you put battery back. Also make sure that there is free space in sd. Also make sure there is free space in sdcard. 500MB should be enought.
I put the b136 rom inside sd card. When battery out, if i plug the device, it starts normally. But if <power+-> combination is used when plugging, it goes to the pink screen and waits.
there are 14 gb free space in external and 2 gb in internal sd card.
btw, thank you for your reply.
I think you can mount internal sd in ubuntu while in pinkscreen. This requires you to have ubuntu and unlocked Bootloader. To install ubuntu, use WUBI, which is easy way to have it with windows. Blefish has posted a way to unlock to bootloader. There is a link for it in my signature. After these are ready, plug your phone while it's in pinkscreen to ubuntu, and search for 2gb partition. Then pud dload there and continue like you normally do.
I'm using Ubuntu right now I ll give it a try, thanks again.
edit: tried, but as far as there is no sd card mounted, it seems there is no way to unlock the bootloader. (error: /sdcard/bootloader.bin: cannot open for read: No such file or directory)
On project menu, which is accessible by *#*#2846579#*#*, there is an options menu for sdcard. I think that needed Google option to be enabled. Try to play with the options there(reboot after a change).
Also from X5settings, choose external memory.

There was google mode selected, i tried the others also. No change. imo, source of all the problems is the "x5 settings". I had installed and remove it many times, but before the last uninstall, i changed the option to "external". Now i dont have x5 settings enabled, and dont know how to reinstall since there is no sd.

no, i dont have CWM right now, before the sd card issue, I was trying to install it but the bootloader problem was preventing me.
can you try to install b518 or b517? they are official 2.3.5 betas, but with unlock bootloader.
I am downloading them and will try both.
edit: didn't work. "update failed" problem.
i cannot install CWM because there is no sd card mounted.
also cannot make bootloader work because there is no CWM and sd card.
So not able to install any custom rom from bootloader.
And since my version is b526, i cannot downgrade. (i dont know if the reason impossibility of the downgrade or the sd card problem or not mounting internal sd.)
I will wait the next (final) version. For now, i gave up. Thanks for all
tl;dr
The card is tested and good (results below), the card reader is good (tested by reinstalling 5.7.4).
So few other people are having this issue, what is going on with my phone?
--
I've read and read, but no matter what I try, I can't get my SD card to work.
Here's the details of how, and what, I installed on my Sprint S5.
I'm coming from Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 MM, (where the SD card worked fine, but did have a few issues with the camera (used open camera instead) and some post reboot oddness (shortcuts disappearing)).
I first formatted card using the windows software sdformatter to FAT32
copied files to SD card using a card reader plugged into PC.
Files copied
RR-N-v5.8.2-20170304-kltespr-Official.zip
open_gapps-arm-7.1-micro-20170327.zip
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip
TWRP 3.X
wiped dalvik/cache/system/data
then factory reset
added files to zip queue, Rom, then Gapps, then SU
Flashed
Phone boots fine, initial set up completes.
Tried a reinstall of apps using Ti Pro, but it failed, so started again and used google apps restore during boot. Issues with many apps. So started again, with a "fresh start" option during set up.
I took a few pictures.
I can view them immediately after taking, by pressing the previously taken image image inside the camera app.
Open default Gallery and get the error "No storage. No external storage available."
I installed a+ gallery and it is able to open the images just fine.
Default Files app can browse the SD card.
Aldiko will not download books, as it thinks there is no SD card installed
I've tried (and checking each time)
formatting in card as internal, then back to portable in phone.
Clearing the data/cache for the apps giving errors.
factory resetting
Wiping and formatting the card (on PC to FAT32), and starting again (several times).
Started from scratch again, with a brand new Sandisk card
Tried ZepherOS Zephyr-N Version (Viserion-6.1) Android 7.0
Wiping cache/dalvik only and rebooting
Same "No storage..." error, every time.
I tried ZephrOS. Right after install there is no file manager, but if I click the default app "downloads", I can navigate to the camera folder, then to the image. When I click on it, it opens the image, but still shows the same error "no storage..." even though I'm looking at the image behind the error window. :/
I'm running H2testw, but don't expect an issue, as the same error was on the previous card and the brand new card.
Can I go from 7.0/7.1 to a stock ROM without issues, if so which one?
Update:
SD card test result
Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 7.15 MByte/s
Reading speed: 15.7 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4
UPDATE #2:
I started fresh with a new install of RR 5.7.4 and the card does still have issues with some apps, but is working fine with others. Open camera works fine, and the gallery access the correct card in this ROM. Aldiko still fails as it's trying to download to /sdcard
Most apps are looking for /sdcard but I have /sdcard1
If it helps, it appears sdcard is symlinking to /storage/self/primary
Anyone able to help?

A fresh install would resolve any path issues. The device can't read the card, which means that it's formatted incorrectly or is incompatible. How did you format it originally? On a computer? Go into the storage menu, and if it's detected, then try using the native Android option to reformat it. Back up your stuff first.
If that fails, try formatting it in recovery.

Thanks, I know the OP was long, but I hoped the details of what I'd already tried would be appreciated. I did several fresh installs trying to fix, and formatted every which way I could in phone and on a PC. Nothing has worked.
