app2sd - Move to SDCard option Disabled


I have a Samsung Galaxy Music Duos GT-S6012, which I got 2 days back. It has android 4.03.


The problem is I am not able to move my games and some apps to the SD card. The move to SD card button which is normally visible in the application manager is not visible in my phone. Please help me.


Is it default behavior on the phone, or is there a problem?


I even tried the move2sd app, but it did not work.

app2sd - Transfer of files and apps from old sd card to new sdcard


I have got a new 8 GB SD card, but the catch is I have done the app2sd stuff. So what are the steps to be followed for the data and apps transfer without loss of anything.


Will a simple copy and paste including all hidden files be enough?



Answer



Depends on how the copy is performed. The SD card contains a couple of hidden files/directories (especially with App2SD being used, there's the .android_secure folder to be considered).


Usually, when on a Linux workstation, a complete copy from sdcard#1 to sdcard#2 should do the job (cp -dpR ). Same should apply to Mac OS. As I have no Windows, I cannot speak for that.


Music player that utilizes ReplayGain tags and can scrobble to Last.fm?



Is there a media player that can read ReplayGain tags from the music files and adjust play volume accordingly? Also it will be appreciated if it can live scrobble playing tracks to a chosen Last.fm profile.


As a bonus: Can it display currently playing song to a bluetooth handsfree with screen, like SE MW600?


Thanks in advance.




How can I export the list of open Chrome tabs?


Chrome's sync feature isn't picking up all of the tabs open on my Android phone.


Are the tabs stored in a file somewhere that I can access?


My intention is to export the list of tabs so that I could run a factory reset on the device.



Running Android 4.3



Answer



You can use the Remote Devices feature in the Chrome debugger to connect to Chrome on the device and access the tabs. Just expand the list of tabs visible to get the full list and then highlight & copy everything shown (including the URLs) to the clipboard: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/remote-debugging/


I just managed to export ~400 tabs this way.
