[Q] Swapping Sdcard P3100 with [P31xx][KitKat][4.4.2] CM 11.0 w/Espresso10++ 3.0.101 - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody i am a new user so i must post here.
I installed [ROM][P31xx][KitKat][4.4.2] CM 11.0 w/Espresso10++ 3.0.101 and everything works fine except i wanna use my 32GB sdcard as /sdcard and internal memory as /extSDCard.
I managed to do this using some linux knowledge, extracting init.espresso.rc from kernel and editing (see in attachment) it before repacking kernel and reflash.
Surprisingly it seems easy and it works PERFECTLY. Memory are actually swapped and downloads and everything goes to my external sd mounted as /sdcard.
Unfortunately the only thing is that the "Package Access Helper" keeps crashing and apps cannot finish install either in market nor from apk.
And a very little number of apps keep installing data on internal memory. I really don'k know where they find the old mountpoint and why... i cannot solve this problem without help but i cannot post in the ROM creator's thread because i have not 10 posts here. Can someone help me?

P.S.
I cannot use
setprop persist.sys.env.switchexternal 1
as suggested by rom creator because this make every app crash also in a CLEAN install.
Also this options does not swap sdcars.

[Q] data2sd: application missing

I was experimenting lately on data2sd. I made a script to mount my 2nd partition of my micro sdcard on /data. It worked ( internal memory size on settings has changed ). I tried to install apps, it's okay, it's working fine, at first run. But when I restart the phone, the app installed on internal memory became unaccessible.
I tried to check if the /data was properly mounted and It was.
Naega Eotteohgehaeyahabnikka? What should I do?
P.S.:
I also noticed that the script is delayed. I runs moments after boot has completed, where the laucher and the media scanner are already running.
I am using CoD rom by <D.J.> with kernel: linux 2.6.35.14+ [email protected]'s-Team #206
I'm still experimenting now.. I'll post the result later.

[Q] Link2SD not re-mounting the partition after flashing new ROM

Hi,
First of all, thank you a lot for all the development effort that has been put in to bring the AOKP ROM up to this fantastic standard. I have been using the ICS AOKP for quite a while, and just switched over to the JB ROM. It feels a lot faster and smoother, thank you!
I have got a question on Link2SD after flashing this ROM. Apologies beforehand, if this is not the forum to post that. I had used Link2SD while on ICS to move most of the apps to the SD card. Now after flashing JB, Link2SD does not re-mount the SD card secondary partition. I selected all the options mentioned (ext2/3/4/FAT) but it fails to mount with any of those options. So I'm not able to re-link any of my apps. Does anyone know how to fix this and get my apps back?
I also tried the following as per suggestions in some of the threads: 1) mounting it in recovery: not working; gives the message error mounting sd-ext (2) deleting some of the apps like Downloads and Email: still not working even after deleting those two apps.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I never had any problem with link2sd and ANY rom. Im on CM 10.1
Till ICS it was easy to directly download and flash roms and Gapps.
But JB roms need trimming.
What i do is.. after a clean wipe I flash any JB rom. Then remove unwanted apps.. Instal Link2sd..
change few minor system apps to user apps (not recommended, if you dont know.. what you are doing).
After linking these apps.. I always have enough mem for Gapps.
In Gapps also you have few apps which you can convert to user app and then link it.

My issue is now fixed, but in a hard way. Formatted the secondary SD card partition, and then Link2SD automatically recognized it. All the apps are gone, but at least I got the secondary partition active. Spent another half-hour downloading all the needed apps again from the Play store.

Hi
І have also had the problem.
I removed the system software of Google voice search, voice dialing, search . (Titanium Backup / un-install all user & system apps)
format ext2 or ext4.
Run Link2sd
Apparently there was no room in the system or chmod / chown
Can you tell which version of kernel you are using?
If you are on 3.x.x version, sorry to tell you that these scripts are not working till today.

The standard and not-really-necessary idea of doing a factory-reset wipe when flashing is the problem here. I also had that zong my sdext making it read-only and nothing, nothing except re-partitioning the sdcard helped.

I have a problem , I've tried to partition sd card with cwm, minitool partition , tried ext 2,ext 3 , ext 4 , flash again ROM , install first link2sd , recreate mount scripts every time i change the method but no matter what i do , it keep telling me that the 2nd partition is not mounted and wont let me recreate mount script . ( Mount script cannot be created ) . If anyone can help me , i'll very much appreciate . Thanks !

Hi, you can do one of these things, by adb shell run e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 to your second partition or using gparted run a full check of second partition of your SD card in a computer card reader, after that will work. I have the same problem, but in my case i have to do this procedure EVERY DAY because at next start the read only problem starts over... ANY BETTER SOLUTION APRECIATED !!!
After factory reset, I had a read-only ext4 partition. Had to start over.
Common cause of link2sd not creating its mount scripts is too little room on /system. Try adb shell df | grep system. Need a few meg. If this be the problem, need to trim the ROM.
Can,t understand ... How to Do it In Micromax A27...in custom Rom
tell me how to do it in Micromax A27 in custom Rom Dreamboltxv2
A lot of separate issues here and in various threads:
1. Sd-ext read only after factory reset. I never do that. Had that very thing happen. Save all data from partitions to computer, repartition and copy it back.
2. Not enough room on system to process/form mount script. JB and onward, ROMs need trimming. > 3meg needed, 9meg should be plenty.
3. No room on data. Link2sd can still work and fix that. If sdext can be mounted, that is ... and a launcher can live long enough to get to lin2sd and start it!
4. Other errors creating the mount script. I am now getting "device busy ... maybe ext4 not supported ... try vfat ... etc." Ext4 is supported. I have a copy of the script which I can place myself.
5. Data integrity problems in Kitkat based ROMs. Repeated recreation of dexes on data, using it up (Link2sd's Achilles heel). Sometimes, recreating that script can stop this. If one can get it re-created. Issues 3, 4. Link2sd can get the space back, problem is keeping it.
I have raised the issues with Link2sd authors.

Internal Storage Not working After Omnirom installation

Hi guys
I recently installed the latest omnirom (v4.4 / Kitkat), which can be found in the post below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488986
After following all instructions and what seemed to be a successful installation, my phone seem to be unable to access it's internal storage. This leads to the camera, galary and other aps not working.
Note that I have tried the following:
1. Reformatted internal storage using gparted. I reformated it to fat32.
2. Installed supersu and tried using different aps to fix internal storage. I did not find any aps that actually helped.
3. Tried SlimKat rom instead of Omnirom. Same issue still prevails.
Can anyone give me some information on solving this problem?
Thanks

Strange Out Of Memory errors on ME301T

Hi guys...
I'm getting mad about this... Tried everything... I'm getting random issues while copying/moving large amount of files from/to external 64GB SD Card with EVERY file manager I tried . The error is ENOMEM. I used CM11 with Grimlock compatibility pack kernel, OmniRom with original kernel, with or without GApps installed.
An hint seems to be that even the media scanner service has problem during the boot as I can see into the logcat. It gets stat() errors on a lot of media files. :crying::crying::crying: Another strange issue is that I get those out of memory errors in the terminal emulator If I run the followinf commands
su
find / -name something
/storage/sdcard1/folder/file1.jpg: Out of memory
/storage/sdcard1/folder/file2.jpg: Out of memory
/storage/sdcard1/folder/file3.jpg: Out of memory
/storage/sdcard1/folder/file4.jpg: Out of memory
......
The SD has no problems because it works well on PC.
And the BAD thing is that I tried to put it on an Asus HD7 ME173X with Android 4.2.1 and it works flawlessly without any error. But the WORST thing is that I got the same errors on my I9000 with CM 10.2.1 stable release.
Perhaps Android > 4.3.x is the problem?
Because both omni and CM11 are based on the same sources, something maybe is corrupted in both?
Please help!
Update ....
After a flashaholic hour I reverted back to CROMi-X 5.4 with GRIMLOCK 0.8 OC Kernel.
Surprise... IT WORKS....:laugh::good::highfive:
Really strange.... As CROMIi-x is based on 4.2.1 my supposition about Android version could be true...
Well Well Well.... I was getting mad about that, but...
At last I found the real issue....:victory::victory:
My external SD is formatted as exFAT FS and seems to be a it cannot be read correctly by CM11 ROMS.:silly:
Hints of this problem could be find just googling for 'CM11' and 'exFAT'.
I have the same issue on my Samsung Galaxy S3 with CM11 and a 64 GB exFAT SD-Card. You may format it with FAT32 and no problems occur but then you will not be able to store files larger than 4 GB anymore. If you often take HD videos this is inacceptable.

[APP] [Link2SD] Disadvantages of Linking Apps and Games

First of all, I would like to give a special thanks to Bulent Akpinar, the developer of Link2SD for providing us such a great app. I had been using this app for a long time in Moto E when I was still using the stock version 4.4.4. I had a great time with this app and I purchased its PLUS version too. Let me tell you about what I gained due to Link2SD :
It links everything of an app or a game to your SD card allowing you to install a large number of apps. Linking is quite different from moving as moving apps to SD is not going to move app data and moving apps to SD slows down apps from loading. Widgets do not break in case of a linked app. All apps, wallpapers works smoothly as if it is stored in the internal storage. But, these things are known to all of us.
Now the problem starts here ! I tried CM11, gummy and PA ROMs but Link2SD created a serious problem
I tried to install CM11 and PA themes but got the same error "App not installed". I tried a lot of themes but got the same error. It meant I can't install any of the available themes. I searched web and got to know that the problem is caused due to partitioning of SD card ! !
Due to partitioning, CWM and TWRP recovery failed to do their tasks.
Unable to install zips from external SD card ! (ERROR: Unable to open folder)
Unable to create backup in SD card ! (ERROR: Unable to open folder)
Unable to restore backup ! (ERROR: No such file found)
Unable to mount storage!
and much more errors were there !
"Install zips from internal storage" was the only option working as usual.
I searched web and there were no promising answers. Somewhere I found that it is due to Link2SD. I cleaned my SD card, deleted the secondary partition and then CWM worked ! ! Flashed CM11 and tried to install themes, it was successful
Guys, if anyone of you are facing these errors, then it might be possible that you have linked apps to your SD card. Link2SD is a great app if you are using stock ROM and you are not willing to try custom ROMs and its themes. But when you are with CM, then Linking is not a good choice
Hit thanks :good: , if helped
