Apps2SD

Hey guys i recently rooted and installed Cyanogen mod and is currently up to date and running fine. However i didnt partition my SD and now my phone is just about out of space. If i partition my SD will it automatically port my apps to the card? Or will have to reinstall them all?
Yes, apps2sd is automatic in cyanogen roms.

just make sure to reflash the rom so it will run the a2sd script. no need to wipe just flash the rom after you partition your sdcard

Ah cool, didn't know you had to reflash.
I'm about to install 4.0.4 Update to Cyanogen..would that count as reflashing?
Yea it counts.
all I did was a data wipe after I partitioned my card and redownloaded the apps, everything works fine.

Just copy gapps to internal sd and flash from there, or go into recovery/ mounts and storage and see if you can mount it there

No, the phone doesn't see the internal sd .. when i plugged it to my laptop .. i saw the internal memory
I flashed back to GB 2.3.3 and rooted it and then went to recovery mode to install AOKP again ... and it rebooted and opened the phone before i be able to install gapps!!!!
As the instructions say .. flash Milestone and then flash gapps and then reboot?!!!
why did it reboot before i flash gapps?!!!!!!!!!!
And when i go to recovery mode to flash gapps .. it gives me the same error
'error mount /emmc'

I think your problem is your trying to "Install zip from sdcard"
you have to Install from "Install zip from Internal sdcard"

[Q] CoCore-E 6.2 cwm external SDcard not mounting

Hey, I'm new to this forum and to android. I have the Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070, it has JB 4.1.2 rooted, and I've installed the CoCore-E 6.2 cwm kernel. I want to install the Pure Vanilla mod, but my problem is that when I'm on recovery mode I can't backup my current rom because the external SDcard is not mounted. On the recovery mode there is an option to mount the SDcard but whenever I trie to mount it, it says "error mounting /sdcard". Sorry if this question has been asked before, I just couldn't find the answer I'm looking for. It would be really nice if you could help a noob out. Thanks in advance .

u don't need to mount sd to take a backup. just go to backup and restore and take a backup!
and pure vanilla is not a mod, its a rom!

Do you see anything from external sd? If not, you need to repartition it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning

Yes, the external sdcard is mounted when on Android, and I'm able to transfer stuff on it. I've formatted it to fat32 but no change, should I repartition it anyway ?
Repartitioning it to FAT fixed the problem, now my sd is mounted when on cwm recovery. But when I started a backup it was going pretty well until it stopped and said "Error while making a backup image of /data!". I guess the univers is against me installing this rom .

Data partition is mounted? But it should not make problem on backup.

I found the problem, I had too many apps and my sd was only 1GB. I uninstalled some apps and tried to backup with a 2GB sd and it worked perfectly. Anyway thanks for trying to help. Have a nice day sir.

[Q] Urgent Help required - Not able to locate update zip in Stock Recovery

Greetings,
Unable to find the flashable update zip file from stock recovery 3e which exists on my sdcard.
I need to install CWM recovery and flash cocore kernel and root. I did this earlier countless times.
I am on stock XXLQL 4.1.2 Italy FW. Just FYI, a couple of days back I had flashed HarshJelly 4.
Below are the options in stock recovery <3e> -
1. reboot system now
2. apply update from ADB
3. apply update from external storage
4. wipe data/factory reset
5. wipe cache partition
6. apply update from cache
When I select 3rd option, I cannot see the update.zip or any other file which is in my sdcard (internal storage). I just see below –
Choose a package to install:
/sdcard
../
Added information is, when I go to root of the phone with Solid explorer, I can see below relevant directories –
sdcard <this is a symlink for /storage/sdcard0>
storage <inside this there is sdcard0 dir>
Inside storage there is sdcard0. And when I access the same directory by either ways (clicked symlink OR went is storage/sdcard0), I could see all my flashable files over there.
I already read something about this being related to 4.2 JB version. However, did not find any confirmed resolution or workaround on any forum.
I have already tried -
1) formatting of internal storage (sdcard0) and external storage (memory card) from phone settings -> storage -> Format USB storage AND Format SD card.
2) That didn’t work hence, I tried formatting my ext card (referred some XDA link) from PC with all - FAT32, NTFS and something like ext.... Still no luck.
3) Downloading zip files again to ensure they are not currupted.
Please note that I can copy data to both storages, hence I think my storage doesn’t look like corrupted.
It will be a great help if you can guide me to resolve this issue. :fingers-crossed:
Stock recovery let you search for update.zip in external sdcard (/storage/extSdCard/ on stock jb)

I have already kept the update.zip in both internal and external sdcards (/storage/extSdCard/ and /storage/sdcard0/). Missed to mention that.
However, could you please confirm on this as the symlink /sdcard in the root is for /storage/sdcard0 which is internal sdcard.

How re-partitioning will help?
Can't it be roll backed to earlier condition rather than re-partitioning?
