Hey All,
So after my rooting adventures, my next goal was to get Link2SD or something similar working. I don't feel like I have a lot of apps but my phone seems to disagree. I don't even play games on this thing.
I'm currently using CarbonROM.
I tried several apps, repartitioned, different filesystems, reformatting from both the apps2sd app, a several laptop using gparted, and the twrp (which never worked, it can't seem to locate the SD Card in the first place), I gave up. I thought, well Lollipop is supposed to be better about letting you move apps, right?
I loved seeing Amazon Shopping without a grayed out Move to SD... as well as a ton of other apps. Unfortunately, I get the same error... not enough storage space.
I have an empty 32gb SD Card, currently formatted to FAT32. The card can mount successfully now (there was a long stretch where it would be stuck in "Preparing SD Card; Checking for Errors" but reformatting on a separate machine did the trick).
My understanding is because of the way Lollipop names the folders for SD Cards (now internal memory is sdcard0 and a true one is sdcard1) some apps are confused and "Move to SD" may just have you moving the app around Internal Memory (I believe I read this in the CarbonROM Thread). Someone vaguely mentioned that link2sd may work.
Does anyone have any positive experiences setting this up or an alternative? I'm not a game player (though I'd like the option). I read about FolderMount as well.
I'm also willing to drop down to a different type of ROM as long as it's not a battery suck and works fairly snappy.
And taking a noob shot, why can't a ROM setup some sort of link from the old naming conventions and link them to the new sdcard1, etc?. I understand there is always the mistake some people make of trying to move system apps or things with widgets, but barring that, is this still a bad idea?
Thanks!
