It seems those apps cannot use the sd card. In 3.1.0.11 I mounted the sd card as described in https://together.jolla.com/question/203539/guide-externalising-android_storage-and-other-directories-files-to-sd-card/ in chapter "3 Answer", that is with a change in /var/lib/lxc/aliendalvik/config or better in /var/lib/lxc/aliendalvik/extra_config.

lxc.mount.entry = /run/media/nemo/SDKARTE/Android data/media/0 none bind,create=dir 0 0

This was working fine in 3.1.0.11.

The file extra_config did survive the upgrade to 3.2.0.12. Alienddalvik is running.

The sd card is recognized by SFOS. I can see it with File Browser, Putty, Winscp...

What can I do, so that my Android apps are working again? Best regards, Uwe.

Thank you for answering. Does this imply that it is not possible anymore to let androids apps use the sd card? Best regards, Uwe.

@UweLabs I have not yet tried to move again the android_storage but it seems that this trick is not working anymore. Look here: https://together.jolla.com/question/203539/guide-externalising-android_storage-and-other-directories-files-to-sd-card/?answer=206350#post-id-206350

You have to revert your changes which you did to move the android files to the SD card. Make sure all android related files are back again under /home/nemo/android_storage. Then your android apps should work again after a reboot.

For details look here: https://together.jolla.com/question/203539/guide-externalising-android_storage-and-other-directories-files-to-sd-card/?answer=206350#post-id-206350

Very sad! Probably we should discuss this issue further on at https://together.jolla.com/question/203539/guide-externalising-android_storage-and-other-directories-files-to-sd-card/?answer=206350#post-id-206350. It seems to be a better place.

I have a similar problem. There'a also this thread.

According to @olf, sd-card related symlinks are broken in 3.2.0.

Well, this is another issue, which might / should be fixed in SailfishOS 3.3.0.

What prevents externalising android_storage to SD-card with AlienDalvik-8 by simply altering its lxc mountpoint configuration since SailfishOS 3.2.0 remains to be analysed.

So my hope is shrinking to get android mounted to sd card in 3.3.0.16. Anyway thanks for answering! Best regards, Uwe.
