There are a lot of data recovery tools in this thread. If you have any questions, you should try asking in there.

[Completed] Changing location of TWRP

Hi guys, I will like to know if it's safe to move TWRP folder from the internal storage to the external SD card to free space on the internal storage?
Will my device be able to boot to recovery when I transfer the TWRP folder to the external SD card?

Hi,
Would be best to know your device and exact model....so I can point you to the guys that know your device best....
But if you move it, twrp may not find it when you go to restore. If you can't get into your OS at the time, that could be an issue.

Actually, I believe it is possible to backup and restore to external SD. You may possibly need to mount the external sd if twrp doesn't already see it.
Moving it manually should work, as long as the folder structure is the same.
Just experiment with it and you should see. ?

Thank you. Thread closed.

No i want to know how to use the damn thing with Kitkat lol
I believe Kitkat doesn't allow you to install or move apps to the SD Card?

I never had a problem with KK and I was able to send apps to the SD but I don't
Know if it was because I had root access. You can also try buying a higer capacity one. I have a 32 gb one and it works flawlessly even on 5.0.2 as right now.. Also if you have root access look for an app called SD Maid it helps clean unnecessary stuff from your device.

Really?
You were able to go into settings >apps, and you had the option to move apps to sd card?
For me, this option is just greyed out... i thought this was the case for everyone running Kitkat
Can anyone else elaborate on this?

Wait a little longer and update phone to Lollipop, it has "move to SD card" by default.
Also transfer your photos, videos, music on your SD card, also in camera app set SD card as default storage path for taken photos and videos.
Also take something like "sd maid, or clean master" to clean your cache and temporary data on phone.

Can you help me out with the command?
Is this the method of using adb?

Well I have formatted it, but it still does not work. I have tested it on other phones, and it works on there they can detect it just fine. I have heard, that most Samsung phones have issues with reading SD cards I guess mine cant read 64 gb sd cards.

Adoptable Storage on Honor 4c

Hi There..!
Is there any method to adopt SD Card as internal storage in honor 4c since adopting sd card is one of the new feature in marshmallow. I googled it and read many forums but found nothing. I want more apps to install but not enough space. even link2sd is not working with marshmallow.
Can this be done by formatting sd card manually as private..?
Any help appreciated. Thanks...

Huawei removed the "Adoptable Storage" option just like LG and Samsung in Marshmallow.
Link2SD isn't compatible with Marshmallow. Use Apps2SD - All in one Tool instead. I am using it on Marshmallow and it works!
Yes you can actually manually format your SD as private but it will make things extremely worse. Your total storage will be shown correct (i.e. Internal + SD Card) but the free space will be reported incorrectly (your SD card's free space will be shown as 0 Bytes). Furthermore your SD card will be completely inaccessible within the device. Even though the Adoptable Storage option is great but apps like Apps2SD provide you more flexibility and control over which apps you want to keep in Internal and which in External.
The following commands should be executed using ADB and USB Debugging switched on in Developer Settings. (i.e. turn on USB Debugging and connect your device to computer; open Command Prompt in the folder where Platform Tools ADB/Fastboot are present): Credits to Modaco for posting this solution for Samsung http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/
Your external SD card will be formatted during this process. Backup what's important before following the below instructions
Code:
[B]adb shell[/B]
[B]su[/B] [I]~ root privileges are required[/I]
[B]sm list-disks[/B] [I]~ this will list the available disks that can be adopted; take note of the disk id in output which is disk:XXX:XXX or disk:XXX-XXX[/I]
[B]sm partition disk_id private[/B] [I]~ obviously replace disk_id with the one shown as output in above command; this process will take some time[/I]
Your SD card will be set as Adoptable Storage. Reboot your device just in case. But I still remind you that this whole process is risky and Adoptable Storage doesn't works quite well in EMUI.

Can you please explain the proper method of using app2sd? or give any link to good guide?

root essentials on play market can add adoptable storage

I have used root essential and at last I have the freedom of 16 gb memory in which I can Install apps
U should try it
Its better than manual method and safe also
It does show 0 bytes in setting storage menu but in file manager it shows real storage value

Yes bro but just use a faster sd card for quick moving and creation of files.
Also root essentials makes it poosible to revert the changes.just remember u dont have access to the internal storage anymore by connecting to pc,but u can get back by reverting it so its all safe.

Could someone confirm that adoptable storage actually work? I tried to set it up in mixed mode: sm partition DISK mixed 50 with a 32GB SD card. It did seam to work, but at some point when I was installing software I got back out of memory, but for sure I have not used up the 16GB. Any Ideas?
I'm also not sure if you should use the migrate data option in the "Memory & storage" menu or not.
I'm using C675B530 and always running out of internal storage

When i used the root essentials to make adoptable storage on my 4c it needed to download and flash a zip from the recovery in order to work and it end up bootlooping my phone.
the good news is that i fixed my phone just by uninstalling xposed framework.

I would have to apologize, Xposed did not work as it should have so have not tried it again for a while.
Can't recall the name of the module

I definitely would not advise messing with adb unless you know what you're doing.
Maybe if you changed the default save location to the SD card, and transferred all media across?

not with this app, it corrupted my sd card and needed to format it manually, so when i did this i manually created two partitions the first is fat 32 for storage and the second is ext4 to link my apps there and it worked. the app i used to link the other apps is called "link2sd"
