How to Configure Link2SD
Related
This is a general question on managing applications on an sdcard. The tools to move apps to the sdcard are straightforward.
1. That said, what actually happens when an app is moved.
2. If an initial load or a restore is performed is it possible to restore apps from an sdcard?
(I have performed several 'restores' and have been unable to restore apps)
3. is there a tool to review apps on an sdcard.
Thanks - Dan
i run Link2SD, using a 2nd partition on my sdcard that's been formatted with the ext4 fs.
i have some apps that i keep installed on my 'internal' sstorage, in addition to the many I've Link2sd "linked" to the /sdcard's ext4 partition.
i backup with TitaniumBackup.
if i set AutoLink in Link2SD app, then restore from a TitatniumBackup all restored user apps/(&/or libs/dalivk, depending on settings) are linked to /data/sdext2. that's expected, and fine if i want all my apps to end up 'moved' to sdcard.
if i do NOT set AutoLink, the TiBkup tries to restore all apps to internal sotrage.
how do I 'tell' the TitaniumBackup + Link2SD combination to move ONLY the apps previously mv'd to the sdcard back to it ... and to restore the rest to internal storage.
i.e., how do i preserve a backup-up app's storage location across a restore?
i can of course do it manually ... mv'ing each app back to internal storage, after the resotre process + AutoLink has mv'd it to sdcard. not ideal tho ...
Problem: Widgets wont load after every reboot. Message: Problem loading widget appears in places where widgets should be.
I can recreate widgets, though. But appwidgets.xml file size is changing every time after reboot, from 1,25 kb to 250 bytes. I have tried everything which I could find online: manual backup and restore of original xml file, titanium backup, even nandroid restore, nothing helps.
I am using launcher pro plus (as system app), sd-ext and swap partitions. All apps with widgets are on internal memory.
Obviously, problem is in appwidgets.xml file size change. Why is this happening, how to solve this?
This is driving me crazy...
Do all apps with widgets have to be on internal memory, even though their widgets are not active in the moment?
I have apps with widgets which are linked to sd ext via link2sd.
When I pull out SD card, all widgets are loading properly.
if u use app move app installed to SD card move widgets,widgets will error.
I have finally found out what was the problem. It is moving dalvik cache to sd ext partition via a2sdgui. I think that the same is with linking dalvik cache files to sd-ext via link2sd, but am not sure.
User dalvik cache has to be on internal memory, whilst system dalvik may be integrated into ROM (and therefore moved to rom partition) via titanium backup (no problem with that). Now i have plenty of free space in /data (I have also moved majority of user app files and app data via TB to sd card).
Widgets are now loading as they should.
Hope someone will find this useful.

Thank you for answering, but I figured it out long time ago.
Secure Data Destruction for Android is a tool to destroy files so they can not be recovered.
It will overwrites the actual content of those files, so a file recovery app may be able to restore these files but the content will be destroyed.
You should used it to destroy sensitive files before selling your device.
You can:
1. Wipe files: you select one or more files with the checkboxes and press the trash icon. The selected files will be overwritten. After the files are cleaned, they will be truncated, renamed and then deleted.
2. Wipe free space: press the card in the list that you want to wipe. You can choose between the internal memory, an external microsd (FAT) or a USB key (FAT). After a confirmation, it will be filled with temporary files until the card is full to overwrite previously deleted files. These temporary files will be deleted at the end of the operation.

Why has it been removed from the Play Store?
My suggestion. Try to integrate to clear all external storage with SMS command.
v2.0.1
New version with:
a Material Design interface
wipe microSD free space is fixed on android 4.4
selection of files from a files manager or gallery was added
an option to clear files in cache before wiping free space
I have a Sony Xperia C2305 with Android version 4.2.2.
I was trying to free up internal space using Titanium Backup Pro by moving applications over to the SD Card.
I converted Chrome to a user application and then moved it tot he SD Card.
When I run it i now get the following error:
"Critical functionality required to run Chrome is missing; either your Chrome installation is incomplete or not compatible with this version of android".
I attempted to do the following:
- Moved back to Internal Memory and Converted to System Application - Same Error
- Rebooted - Same Error
- Converted to User Application & Uninstalled - Downloaded from Play Store - Same Error
- Converted Downloaded & Installed Chrome to System Application - Same Error
**How can i get a working version of chrome back on my phone?**
Try this:
Using Root Explorer, make a copy of your original Chrome apk and delete it from system/app folder.
Open Titanium Backup Pro, press menu then Clean up the dalvik cache. You will be prompted to delete a file.
After deleting the file, restart your phone. You should be able to install Chrome from the Playstore normally.
