So I updated to the leaked Samsung 2.2 Froyo. I am trying to move apps to the sd card and I am getting an error. "Failed to move application. Not enough memory".
I have seen demos/reviews with this function working. I am also making sure I try it with apps that are compatible with the feature.
Anyone have a clue as to whats going on here.
Other than that, I love being a new Android user, ported over from the apple world. Captivate made my 3g look foolish.
Thanks in advance for any help guys.

When installing a program it will pop up, this is Apps2SD, do you want to move. Or you can see it in manage applications, select application > Move to SD is highlighted
You have to be careful with it because that silly media scanner will run and disable you sd functions. Example. You have a program that starts up when your phone starts you will get a FC because the media scanner is running.
Good to have you by the way.
I'm getting the same message, but it was working before.
I flashed a ROM and enabled lag fix. However, when I went back to stock, I forgot to disable the lag fix.
I'm back to the leaked 2.2, but I still can't move apps to the SD card. There is plenty of memory free.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks!

Have you tried doing a master reset to remove the the lag fix or gotten the app from the market app2sd?
I tried a master clear using Odin, but I haven't tried a master reset. How is that done?

If you did a master clear with odin then it is pretty much the same thing
Oh, and when I use the app, I get the same message.

Ok I know a dumb question but do you have enough rom on your SD card? Try the apps2sd app from the market
No worries, I know you have to ask.
My SD card has 12.83GB free.
I did try using the apps2sd, but I get the same message, that there isn't enough memory.
I would say that there is an issue with the leaked rom. I would try a custom rom and see if it happens, if it is still an issue I would copy the stuff off your card and reformat it to see if that is an issue
I actually got the message the first time I tried a custom ROM. When I went back to 2.2 the problem went away, but I hadn't tried the lag fix.
When I tried another customer ROM today, I got the message again, but this time a tried the lag fix.
I forgot to disable it when I went back to stock, then to 2.2.
I did reformat the internal SD card, didn't help. That's why I turned to the forums. I'm all out of ideas.
OMG I am stupid lol. The apps to SD is for moving the APPS to an EXTERNAL sd card not the internal sd
LOL, no worries.
I don't want to waste my time, but would it be worth a try to:
1. Flash back to stock.
2. Install Clockwork recovery
3. Install customer ROM again.
4. Enable lag fix.
5. Disable lag fix.
6. Flash back to stock.
7. Master clear
8. Install 2.2 again?

Only if you have enough room on your external sd (micro sd plugged into the phone)
I don't currently have one installed.
It must be a file system issue. Is there anyway to rebuild the stock file system? Or is that supposed to happen when I flash back to stock?
By the way, thanks for your help on this.

No prob, but here is the deal. This only works for external SD card in 2.2 2.1 didnt have this option at all. So unless you insert an external SD card it is not gonna work.
OK, now I'm the stupid one. I didn't even think of putting my SD card back in! I always take it out when I flash back to stock because the media scanner takes so long.
Anyway, I put it back in, now I can move to SD.
So, my next question is, where does it put it on that SD card? I looked, and I don't see anything other than my music.

To tell the truth I dont remember really, I have not needed to move anything to my external sd in a long time, what are you using to look at your SD card?
Root explorer. It's not really that important, it's mostly just curiosity.
okay, so i've found myself in a bit of a pickle. Recently I've been running the CM7 nightly's, but today I tried out the RoyalGinger rom and I believe it either corrupted my SD card or it's blocking my SD card from being used/read.
Tried several times to reformat it but each time it said 'checking SD card', but the weird thing is I have an active wireless connection, but I'm not getting texts. I can download from market, get on Facebook, etc, but my texts won't come in until I reboot the phone. A few times I booted it up and it wouldn't allow me to even see my homescreen because it'd pop up with EVERY app force closing (including google services, framework, etc), I was able to get back to my homescreen by clearing by Dalvik Cache luckily, however I'm still unable to do most anything. I went in to wipe/restore but it says cannot find SD card, directory invalid, cannot mount, etc.
Is there a way to reformat my SD card through terminal? If so could I get the code procedure for it? or anyone have any ideas other than picking up a new micro (which isn't a big deal but I'm strapped on money til Friday) but i'd still prefer to know that it's JUST my SD card and not my phone memory. Anyone? Anyone? Beuler? Beuler? Thanks in advance. I'm really sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, but c'mon, everyone gets one.
Ok so do u have a stock backup rom? Ide say go to rom manager and go to recovery and whipe etc.. Then install that stock back on it.....And can ur sd card even read at all? Just get any.file manager and check your sd.

I think I have a backup rom of CM6, but not an actual android stock rom. It won't allow me because it says 'must have an SD card inserted' then it says must have clockwork mod recovery installed, which I do, the current version. Now that it says that I'm afraid to boot my phone into recovery, and I can't really tell if my SD card will read. I was able to use my file manager and the entire SD folder is blank.
ten minutes later: still boots into recovery, none of my backups are available on it. I was thinking about downloading a rom from the phone and trying that way, but I don't know if it'd save to the (apparently unreadable) SD card.
Ok try this...... Find out what recovery you use 3.0.0.5 or the normal 2.5.1.4 for froyo then download a rom thats the same recovery as the one u have on it right now...... If its the same as your cyanogenmod 6 then install that from the recovery manually!!!
if its not then download a rom that is and make sure you use a file manager to see if the download sticks in your sdcard. And if it doesnt stick then......your problem sir might be a corrupted sdcard, or a phone that cant read your sd.
Hope its not either or, so give it a shot.....
And ur supposed to have a stock backup as soon as you root and switch roms man Lol makes life easier

It sounds like he doesn't have access to his sdcard. It doesn't matter how many backups you make if that's the case...
If you happen to have a sdcard reader or a microsd usb adapter you could format it in windows, copy the files you need, and start again. Also did you try connecting to your pc and seeing if it's readable that way? You can format the card if your pc recognizes it. If you have adb set up you can push the recovery image to the phone without a sdcard. But once again without a working sdcard you won't be able to flash a new rom.
Hey guys I'm pretty sure it's just my SD card. I tried saving an image, just to test it and it says 'an SD card is required to download images.bin', so I'm HOPING it's just my SD Card, however my notifications are working properly so I can at least deal with it til friday, if it IS my SD card reader in the phone, well... I have a plan for that, however due to already technically breaking that I shouldn't go into it. Thanks to you guys for taking the time to post and if you know anything else that might help me I'd gladly accept it.

Hi, I have a reader on my laptop but not the adapter, so I can't tell and yes, you were right, I can't see any of my backups (which I have my stock, then cm6 and cm7) so I either need to find an adapter or get a new SD card. luckily I pulled all of my camera images off my phone last night when I put the new rom .zip on the phone sd, so I'm not really worried about 'losing' anything as long as I get my phone working back in proper condition.
Well that happened to me before as well.. All i did was replace sd cards lets the phone do its thing flash a different rom like CM6 or CM7 and then once replaced i got the adapter for my old sd card reformatted through windows and put it right back in and it worked.. So try that?
Ill have to. Thanks a lot guys I do appreciate any comments and suggestions and ill be picking up a new sd later thia week to fix it but can amyone recommend a good brand sd to pick up? the apparently failed one was a samsung 8gb

Something similar happened to me. Your SD card likely has a bad or corrupted file. I used Win7 to copy over what I could to a folder in my PC. The Win7 automatically refused to copy over the corrupted files while carrying over everything else. In XP, your file transfer stops and you have to try again to ensure you have everything that's not corrupted transferred over.
After copying, I just went ahead and formatted the SD to FAT32, transferred everything back, installed on my phone, and voila.
Go into recovery and partition the card. You'll lose everything on it but it should be useable after that

So I finally got the courage to flash a rom after dealing with an extremely sluggish Vibrant for over a year. I flashed the rom and everything was good, then I tried to get all my music on the phone. I couldn't get it on the external 16gb sd card so I figured I needed to format the card. I went into settings and It only gave me the option to format one of them, under SD card "format" wasn't even selectable. So I format the one I could and now notice a lot of missing folders. All that is left is albumthumbs, android, dcim, lost.dir, external_sd.
I'm not sure what I deleted but the phone still works fine.
What do you recommend I do? Should I odin back to stock and then load it again?
U should flash rom again

Flash ROM again OR attempt recovery using a recovery tool

You could also connect your phone into mass storage mode to the computer and attempt a recovery using one of the many available tools if you had important information on the internal SD.

I have been using Samsung Android all my life, if I buy the OnePlus One phone, how will I flash the phone with new ROM since I can't just simply put the .zip file onto external SD card and flash through recovery.
Use adb to push to the internal sd or sideload it from recovery.

You can flash whatever .zip you need through the internal storage.

No, you aren't. You don't need to wipe internal memory, only /system, /data, /cache and dalvik partitions.
So wait...
You're saying that everytime you flashed a rom you cleaned out your entire phone beforehand?

im pretty sure no rom would make you wipe your internal storage. theres no reason to ever do that.
Most recovery like twrp, cwm etc doesn't wipe your internal memory when you say factory reset. Before flashing new rom most developers prefer you factory reset which wipes your system, data partitions but nothing happens to your internal memory. So you are good.

Your Galaxy Note 2 can flash ROMs like this in the same way. Even if you use Factory Reset/Wipe Data in your recovery, it still wouldn't wipe your Note 2's internal storage. It will wipe /data (but you'll notice it'll say 'wiping /data without wiping /data/media'.
It's been this way for a long, long time.

Nope. Any package that tells you to wipe /sdcard is from someone who has no clue what they're doing.
On devices with unified storage, it is slightly more complex - in rare cases the filesystem can get corrupted in such a way that requires complete format. This will clobber /sdcard on devices with unified storage (/sdcard is /data/media remapped) - but a normal wipe data/factory reset in recovery on a unified device will remove everything *except* /data/media on /data
Again, it's *very rare* that you need to fully format /data on a device with unified storage - I've only had to do it twice in my life, both times on a Moto G because f2fs sucks rancid donkey balls for data integrity.

The only reviews I've found are from Android Authority and Engadget, both with the 16gb white model, and neither say a microSD card slot is there. Engadget says there isn't one, and AA pulls the cover off to show the internals - and if there was a slot, surely they would have noticed, right?
OTOH, these seem to be "pre-production" units, with software that still needs some bug fixes. So who knows what's really in store?

Sorry guys, but there's no SD slot. Mounting data through something like a Meenova works though.
Also, it's worth noting that when you switch to a newer device, you can't mount storage to USB from recovery like you were once able to.
If you don't want to use sideload or adb push, you'll want to put the ROM on your storage using a working ROM first, so that's why you should always have a working ROM zip on your storage at any given time, because if you start bootlooping when you're away from a computer, you're stuck until you can get back to one.

How old is your external SD card? If you've been writing to it a lot, it might be going bad. SD cards have a limited life span. The more you write to it (and in bigger chunks), the more it "wears down" the SD card.
You might want to try and reformat it and do a chkdsk on it to see if it finds any bad areas on it.

I found that backing up from rom manager from within android usually fails for me. If you boot into recovery and do a backup that way it is usually successful. Just make sure you chose the sdcard1 option when starting the backup.

Never thought of that! I myself have never used ROM Manager to backup my ROM image. Sorry about steering you in the wrong direction. I had assumed ROM Manager worked regardless.
