sd ext vs app2sd.. actually the concept is same, it move app to sdcard.
app2sd - introduce by google in froyo. it use fat32 format, but encrypt by linux way. you will not see any file inside folder name .android secure
sd ext - an ext partition that we make in sdcard. it depent type of ext 2,3,4. ext4 is much faster than other ext or fat32. it using journal hence it the best option to use. BUT, you need to face risk of sd card error.
the conclusion, ext way faster than fat32.
if you are using quick info pro, and not using a2sd+, it will show storage under a2sd -> this will refer to .android secure folder.
strange, i got no problem with my app in market.......
maybe you can try this, but it is very very slow method...and it required wifi.
try to check on market.android.com and check the list of your app. if app is there, most likely you will dload all app when you do clean install..
wipe everything, install rom, reboot, install market enabler (http://amip.org.ru/wiki/android/marketaccess - make sure it auto fake on boot), setup wifi (make sure policy to never). install gapps, reboot, when on first screen, try to login until successfull. then go to market, you will see all previous app is dloading.
ermm..regarding TB, what icon beside app name, becuase if you got smile face, it only backup app only and not market link..you can check at legend.
Thx 4 detail explanatn. As expected of u
But i just want to know y u prefer froyo app2sd over a2sd.
I dont have wifi right now.mybe will try it later.
for now,will only wipe n restore.
so there is no market link right. Mybe that y d app are missing.
usually it is ok.only sometimes this happen.mybe i do smthg wrong anywhere..
