Root [Virgin Mobile] Moving apps to SD card?

[Jawshewah]

I can't seem to find a way to move apps to my SD card. Even methods that require rooting.

 

[Rukbat]

Have you tried app2sd?

 

[Jawshewah]

Yeah it doesn't work.

Are SD cards formatted in Fat32 by default?

Are SD cards formatted in Fat32 by default?

Usually. Technically, anything 2GB or smaller can be FAT16.

FAT32 can be used on SD cards 512MB or larger.

What should I be formatting the second partition? Ext2 didn't work.

Follow the instructions in TeachMe's thread that I linked to earlier. Follow all the instructions. Including the ones in the links that Teach has provided.

Now my phone is rebooting itself and when it comes back on all my linked apps are no longer installed

Sounds like a bad sd card.

 

[TeachMe]

Boot in recovery see if twrp can access the card mine bugged out and i fixed it with a chkdsk in windows from SD card adapter.

 

[TeachMe]

Anyone using links to SD or external to internal swap should be using a GOOD class 10 card. Not the ones from China remember if u have the swap installed these cards are wrote to and read from the whole time your phone is on. Also keep off card backups on your PC or Google drive just in case.

That's what I thought so I got a new one and it still did it

 

[TeachMe]

Was card seen by recovery?

 

[Jawshewah]

Yeah it's there
