[Q] 1Password (and any application on SDCard)

Hello,
I try to have help because now it's impossible to install 1Password Reader on my LG 2X anymore.
I have Froyo 2.2.2. My phone is not rooted, everything is official.
I moved the 1Password to SDCARD to gain memory in phone. And it was working fine. But then it was impossible to update anymore from Market and so I uninstalled it. And now it's impossible to install from scratch anymore!
What can I do in order I can install it again?
It seems this is a bug in Froyo/Market because I have same problem with others applications. I moved some of them back in phone memory from sdcard and update are fine again from Market for these applications.
But with 1Password I cannot because I uninstalled it.
Market download produces unsuccessfull installation message error.
Also it seems widgets are not enlisted for these applications on SDCARD.
Thanks for any help.

Hvae you tried instaing it from the online market from your computer???
https://market.android.com

Yes I tried, same problem.

Just downloaded it and pulled the APK (free app on the market), have uploaded it, try installing manually or by ADB

This is not a solution but finally a developer on AgileBits Forum gave me the solution.
Here is my reply:
Gene,
Thanks you very much you helped me a lot!
Actually in a LG Optimus 2X there are 2 SD CARDS.
One is internal (welded inside) and the other external (what you insert yourself).
So what you said about cleaning the Market data application is not sufficient, unfortunately.
What I did first is to unmount the external SD Card; stupid I am because 1Password don"t go on that SDCARD but on the internal one.
So I unmounted the card via Settings/SD & Memory and then unmount and I tried to install again the application and... BINGO!
Of course I just needed to remount the internal SDCARD because 1Password complaint and refuse to run without SDCard unmounted.
And that's all the story. A big thank you for your help.
Now I need to go and apply same trick for another software: Pulse.
A question. Android gives possibility to move software from phone memory to internal SD CARD. What about to move and run a software from external SD Card? Is it possible? Gingerbread do this or do we need to wait for IceCream Sandwich end of year (...or end of next year as LG is not so quick to post Gingerbread till now...) ?
And other question. Is there an official link on the web where memory stuff is well explained in an Android phone?

Expertise please HELP-SOLVED-

GTP1000 Rooted I'm using Install Manager, Android Assistant, Quick application Manager and Root explorer to shift all my application from the phone to the SD card unfortunately I figured out that I have only 200 MB remaining in my phone memory ! Only 4 programs installed on there as per of the previouse listed applications and the remaining on the SD card as it shows I start searching to figure out the problem using root explorer I found the root
Phone Memory/mnt/asec/secure/asec - 990 MB so I tried to move it to the SD card but once moved it will return back again to the same path!! Even if I tried to delete it will remain the same! also I found another root phone/mnt/asec -670 MB which has almost the same applications by all means using root explorer I cut& paste the first root to the SD card and reboot then only the installed programs in phone works and the other application icons disappeared I was shocked cause even trying to backup my mistake was a hectic work, by all means its again as it was and still facing the same problem any help
Solution
After fed up of finding any solution I start clear all the programs data manually at least to preserve some space and while clearing my phone explorer application data I shocked it was loaded with 1.53 GB!!!!! Don’t know where it came from!!! But finally my sole been relieved thanks for all the assistant been given by every one answered my query

Ok a few issues here....
1) You should be asking this in the Q&A forum, not the Dev forum, it has nothing to do with development
2) You don't need four third party apps to move your apps to sdcard. Apps2SD is a function of the android system. You can simply go into Settings->Manage Apps and then go into whatever app you want to move and press the button that says "Move to SD Card"
3) You really shouldn't be rooting around your phone deleting or moving stuff without a thorough understanding of Linux and Android.../mnt/asec/secure/asec is a symlink to .android_secure on your sdcard. Those files were not actually on your internal memory, just links to files on your sdcard.
4) Android will manage your internal memory as necessary...you really don't need to be worried about having only 200mb free. Once you run out it will start installing apps to your sdcard on its own.
At this point I think you're pretty fubar and will have to reinstall the apps then move them to SD if you so choose.

Dear thanks a lot for you respond also thanks to direct me to the proper channel to post my inquiry in, also thanks a lot for the advices and for the explanation but one more concern killing me, why once trying to install new application an red SD card icons appears on the tab upper left corner with memory full window listing that internal device memory is nearly full delete/uninstall some applications or data and try again! Any help

Internal Memory full
You must have a ton of data on your internal SD and that is why the icon appeared. Also, some apps cannot be moved to the external SD. I would go into your applications and see what is vital and what you can delete. Keep the internal SD as light as possible. External SD's can be expanded to 32 gbs (i have one and it works well)..so use that for all your data and for moveable apps. Remember to check which apps you can move and which must stay on the Internal SD.

[Q] Installing apps on KitKat 4.4.4

Hi guys
I've done a fair bit of searching but still cannot find the full and final answer to this question. I'm getting mixed answers which seem to be confusing me more and more.
I've installed Evervolv's 4.4.4 (non DM) on my TP and can install apps but only onto my internal storage. I believe KitKat doesn't allow you to install apps to external storage (i.e. Sd cards), however I believe the SD cardfix that you can download from the play store allows you to fix this.
I've installed it and ran it - which now says all is good but I still cannot seem to install apps to my sd card. I've got 6gb+ waiting to be used whereas I can only install a couple on my internal storage.
Any help would be great. If I need to install another ROM to get this functionality then please let me know which.
Thanks in advance

[Q] titanium backup broken- only backs up to internal memory

Hi,
Just got a new LG L90 and wanted to back it up. On my old phone, I used TB and it worked ok most of the time.
But this newer version only backs up to the internal memory which is a no-no. After I discovered that it was defaulting to internal memory, I moved the directory to the sd card, went into prefs and changed it to the sd card. I figured something was wrong when TB claimed there were no backup files in the directory when clearly there were.
But I did a backup anyway, pointing to the SD card, yet it went right back into internal memory.
No error messages, just doesn't work.
Fixable, or get something more modern?
Thanks.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same thing. I looked closer and found out what is going wrong. It is defaulting to /mnt/sd but that is pointing to internal memory. I am not sure if this is a LG or Android problem but anyway, I found the real location but it won't let me select it for some reason. Did kitkat move away from /mnt locations? I am going to keep digging .. I don't know android that well but know general linux and /mnt was used for years.

Google introduced new security features in KitKat. Apps are no longer allowed external sdcard access without some kind of patch. I use, with CM11 and also LG Stock, Xposed framework with 3 other modules. They are "HandleExternalStorage", "KitKat SD Card Full Access", and "XInternalSD". I also use Link2SD to help conserve user data space.

Thanks..I did some reading and stumbled apon this info. Surprised TB is not away of the issue though. I found something in the playstore that changes permissions and now it is working.
I guess I need to relearn the newer androids as I am coming from 2.3
Thanks again.

HTC Desire 510 Link2SD Error

Hi all,
I recently purchased an unlocked sprint HTC 510 Desire, and was surprised when I was notified that I didn't have enough storage to install a fraction of the apps I had on my old phone. I was aware of the lowly 4gb of internal storage, but I just assumed that if I had free space on my SD card, I would have no issues. Well, I soon discovered my error and went about looking for a fix. So I figured I would root my phone. (I was going to post the article I followed to root my phone, but apparently I'm not allowed to post urls yet. But it's the digital endpoint guide ~ How to Root the HTC Desire 510)
I then tried to install Link2SD and was shocked when it didn't work. I have partitioned and re-partitioned my sd card, tried all of the different options for formatting, and nothing has worked. The app recognizes the partition, but it is unable to mount at boot, so while I can link apps, they disappear upon reboot (very inconvenient). I've done a fair amount since then trying to get this app (or other apps with similar features to work, but haven't gotten anything to work. It looks like the error lies somewhere with the init.d scripts (or lack thereof), and I was wondering if somebody could help me with finding a way to install/enable those scripts so that I can install more than just the system apps on my phone.
I have very little experience with rooted devices, so please keep replies rather mundane. That said, I'm a teenager so I'm pretty good with technology and figuring things out and whatnot. At any rate, like I said, I followed the above procedure to root my phone, so I have whatever ROMs and Kernels that that yields. I have flashed a copy of BusyBox (because the app was unable to install it, again for some unknown reason) if that helps. I have looked around online for hours, but nothing I have found has worked.
Please please please help me to get Link2SD to work, or provide me with another working alternative to expand my internal storage with an SD card (my card is 32GB).
Thank you so much in advance!

Your device is write protected. Unlock the Bootloader, install TWRP, flash the write-protection removed Kernel
It's all right here in the forum. Probably would have taken less time to search for an answer than it took to write your discourse.

i have tried all the write-protection removed Kernels but all returned with mount error in link2sd. please help. thank you.
