Root [Avail] error: device not found

Well, after checking the log a few times, I'm pretty confident that it's not still saving anything to the text file. Anybody with any ideas, I could really use them. I've reset the phone and somehow come back up to 4.68 mb free space, but yeah...
 
Sometimes it takes a little before it updates the available space. Also use the default manage applicatios app to see actual space. By default rom toolbox doesnt ask you where you want to move them. It just uses its default directory.
 
Doesn't Link2SD need a partition on the SD card to fully move (and link) apps to?

I'm running almost everything from the card through Link2SD, including widgets.
120+ apps w/ about 85MB system ROM and 90MB internal memory free.


I used ES explorer (set to "browse as root") to delete all of the bloatware files.

Yes.. to fully move the sd card has to be partitioned for link2sd. However, it can still move the data files, ect with or without that partiton, which does free /most/ of the internal memory. It'll just leave the link on the internal memory without the 2nd partiton.

I am waiting to get a larger and better quality sd card before I try the 2nd partiton thing. Right now thoug I have about 50+ apps all moved to sd card without the 2nd partiton for links and I still have 70mb free on internal.
 
TraceP38, I've been kinda reading up on that some and I think you're right, which may explain some of the confusion I've had with Link2SD. I'll be checking this out more tomorrow. Right now I have a more immediate problem, which is that in Link2SD I tried to move the Google market to sd and apparently broke the market, and now I can't download any new apps lol... Anybody got any ideas for that? Think I'm done playing with it for tonight, gonna check back here in the morning and if there's nothing new for me to try then I'll probably find that stock, rooted rom I saw floating around here today and just start over.

Edit: I really like the sound of moving *everything* in apps to sd, not just some of the files associated... Will definitely be checking out Link2SD some more. I had seen some talk about that second partition but haven't (yet) found clear instructions on what to do about it.

I'll upload the rom toolbox backup of play store I have when I get home so you can restore yours. In the meantime I am at work for the next hour or so.

Edit, if you provide your email i can just send it thay way through my phone.
 
You should receive it shortly. You'll probably have to move it to your SD card: App_Manager/App_Backups/system_apps before ROM Toolbox will pick it up. I'm sure there's a command line way of installing .apk files but I have yet to research that yet.

Edit:
You'll have to enable unknown sources via the Application Settings on your merit.
Apparently you should be able to gmail app to install the apk as well.
