[Q] Can't save apps to ext. SD

I use a 32GB class 10 micor SD. I tried to transfer the isntalled apps from phone to the external SD using "App 2 SD". I note that the apps were actually moved to the internal SD card but not the external SD. The photos and the video can be saved to the exteranl SD though.
I am new user of Android phones. Did I do anything wrong or app just can't be saved in external SD?

the internal sd is your external sd for app2sd.
earlier phones didnt have an internal sd. so there it was written on the external.
maybe you could reroute the paths. but for an normal user this could be hard.

So I think all phone with intwrnal SD Card has the same poblem.
Can the problem be solved when upgraded to 2.3?

Jup, all phones with an internal sd have this probs afaik.
but you can change the paths, so the external card becomes the internal.
i dont know how the paths are routed in gingerbread, but it should be tha same.
if you want to change this search in the dev section, there is a description.

[Q] Planning to change my SD Card.

Hello!
I'm planning to change my Xperia X8's SD Card.
I'm using Racht's custom rom, 2.2.1 CM Floyo v0.20, also found in XDA forums.
Of course, this offers the use of apps2SD.
Would it be ok if I just copy-paste the contents of my old SD Card to my new one?
Would I still be able to use (without any problems) the apps I transferred to my SD card from the phone storage?
In other words, will all my files (apps2SD transferred files also) in the old SD card still work if I just copy-paste them to the new SD Card?
Very sorry if my explanation is complicated.
Thanks!

Yes it should be fine.

How did the change of SD Card go?
Im about to do the same thing and was wondering i its possible to copy all contet from current SD Card to my PC and then copy it to the new SD Card.

Sorry for the late reply.
I haven't really changed it yet due to my busy schedule. Hopefully, I would be able to find time.
I'll keep you updated!

As long as you did not partition the sd card with extended file system or any other fs that only linux can detect, there should not be a problem.

If you have partitioned your old SD card with ext3 partition you can use any Linux live CD to simply copy/paste to your new card

superuser_

is mandatory to have two partitions with the same floyo0, 25. a standard card does not work like a normal android 2.2. roms or they also use the second partition as root and do the first time and we have to install link2sd to transfer apps to the memory card.

multiboot option
if u haven't already changed sd cards try to get a class 6 sd card as there have been multiboot options released, cm6 on phone memory and cm7 on sd card. check out multiboot thread on x8 development. two roms on one phone, its all gravy my friend.

how about a class 10 card? will it work on x8?

i think it will ok.

I changed from an 8 GB card to a 16. No problem at all. But my card doesn't support Multiboot. If you get a class 6 or higher you should be fine. You just need to copy a few files from the old card and it works fine.

I have just copied and pasted everything from one card to another, and it worked. It is great that now with rachts and doixhan's roms we have the support for app2sd!

Do you know if there is any way to test the speed of the SD directly from the phone? Thank you in advice!

I also am about to change out my SD card. I just upgraded from the stock 8gb card that I had partitioned which I did through ROM Manager to a brand new 16gb Class 10 SDcard
Is it also as simple as copying and pasting from my old SD card contents to the new one and boot it back up? Or would this delete the old ROM and stock ROM off of my SD card? I also wanted to know if I needed to partition this new card as well and if so, at what point do I do that?
I know this is probably really easy but I am new to flashing ROMS which is why I wanted to get a bigger and faster card! Thanks!

I thought the lower number of class like class two was faster than say a class ten? I've been wondering this and saw this post. What do you guys think is faster?
Class 2 or 10?

The class 10 is faster and more expensive......

optimus 2x wount save files

After i installed cyanogenmod 7 on my optimus 2x, i only borrowed an microsd card of a friend to install it. After I gave it back, im not able to save any files, nor take any pictures with my phone. seems like some settings that is set to only save on sd cards. how to fix?

Try when the camera is on, press the menu and scroll down to storage at the bottom and check that is on internal sd card.

CM7 is designed to use an SD card. You'll need to look in the dev section to swap integral & external SD mounts.

Are there any other fast roms, such as modaco or something, that is not designed to only save content on sd cards? I dont have an sd card, so I can only borrow one when installing

You can fix CM7 pretty easily. It's just a zip to flash.
MoDaCo works like stock though and defaults to the internal SD.

I use fr17 and is mega quick and stable

Try APP 2 SD

I have a Galaxy S 1 with Android 2.3.3. and my external SD contains a .asec folder that has apps that I have moved from the phone storage to the sd card.
I also have a Cube U30GT tablet with Android 4.1 and when I move apps, it only moves them to the internal SD card.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think that ICS and JB do not natively allow apps on external SD. Is this not the case? Is it a matter of the Android implemention the manufacturer chooses?
ps I will be getting my 4X today, so some thorough testing will take place in the next few days. I will be more than happy to find that apps can go to external SD.

[Q] SD Card

Probably the most NOOBISH question ever... but here goes and any help would be greatly..... greatly appreciated.... ive rooted (woo hoo i know lol) ive installed CM9, all the stuff is on SD card, can i remove the SD card and re-partition it? i think ive set 25 out of my 32GB card as the wrong kind of memory
probably really stupid thing ive done lol

Yes you can repartition the external SD no hassles there...what do u mean all the stuff? Copy the stuff to your PC and format the SD card and repartition it.

I mean all the zip files for cm9 and cmw and kernel and gapps things are on my SD card, if I just remove the SD card all together from the phone and switch it on will it jot work? Is my phones os running directly from SD card do I still need the partition etc

The phone OS doesn't run from the SD card! Even if you had the .zip on the SD once you flash, the .zip has no say...else after you flash a ROM, the usable internal memory should change accordingly!

Ha haha sorry for the noobish replies ha its all new to me so now my phone is rooted and I have all the things I want on the device I can remove SD card and format it to just be external memory for the phone
Thank you
