[Q] Samsung GT-S7562 install apps on SD

Hi guys, I have a trouble with automatically installing applications on SD card. I set SD card for installing applications in mini-SDK with "adb pm set-install-location 2" and it's set correctly, but if I want to install some app it show error: "not enough space on disk".
In Phone and SD card is a lot of space, so it's some bug or something, but how can I install apps on SD with another way ?
Phone is Rooted and has Android 4, I also tried wipe data/factory default and wipe cache, but with no luck, please help

[Q] clean format to kill spice bloatware

I have spice android phone model number mi-280. It has android gingerbread 2.3.6. now spice guys have installed a lot of bloatware. It really sucks that I can’t get ‘em out of my phone. I’ve scoured internet for answers but to no avail. My internal memory has clogged because of this crap. I’ve rooted my phone, made a 2gb partition on my 16 gb microsd card. I’v installed link2sd so that all apps get installed on SD card, it works to some extent but internal memory gets clogged up little bit. For example if I try to install say 9 mb app on my phone, 3 mb will get reduced in internal memory and the rest would be installed via link2sd on my 2gb partition of sd card.
I’m fed up now. I want to clean up everything in my android phone. Making it have nothing , nothing. Start from scratch I want to do an installation in my phone. Just like we clean up the harddisk of pc and do a windos reinstall, I wanna do that kind of thing. How can I do it? That must make me get rid of that bloody spice bloatware I hope lol!!
I have also tried sd maid, but for system cleaning it only shows my gallery and nothing else. Please help me.
Go to system/app and delete the bloatware from there.

this folder doesn't exist in my file manager. hope that is the way to access this folder
Try using es file explorer, give it root permission. Or you could unlock your bootloader and install a custom rom. Much better that way.

[Q] Rooted Tab2 7.0 Help

Hey, this is my first post and I'm REALLY new to this. I can talk iOS and Blackberry all night, but Android is a whole new world, so go easy on me! I have had a Tab 2 P3113 for over a year now, and obviously have run into the issue of not having enough storage space. From my understanding, if you root your tablet, and install Titanium Backup you can move your apps to an ext SD. I did all this, and still am unable to move my apps to the ext SD card. I've managed to move the backup folder to the ext card, but no option even when I long press an app I want to move. Am I missing a step? Or am I just screwed and have to deal with this? Thanks for all your help!

[Q] HISENSE HS-U970 Custom rom 4.3

I have a HISENSE HS-U970
Phone look good, but here is the problem out of the 4GB internal storage , there is only 200mb available to install app's , the phone ROM is a mess they have created 3 partition out of the 4GB, and only allow app to be installed on the primary partition which has only 200mb of storage out of the 1GB ,the other partition are reserved for music and photo files. What a way to ruin a phone.....
You cannot move apps to SD card. So severe limitation
I have been scouring the internetfor days for a custom rom which will remove these limitations and allow me to install apps to SD card just like other devices. But i have found none so far
Does someone know a custom rom that i could install to actually enjoy using this phone? i am close to smashing it with a hammer
I am never buying any android Chinese based phone ever..
Appreciate any reply
I remember the days you could ask a questions in this forum and get some answers, these days most posts goes unanswered very sad days.
If your rooted Foldermount would serve you well. A lot of people use Link2sd which I tried but didn't work for me.

Hello, I do not know the update that you can have, but according to which it is it does not allow to go on apps to the SD.
Happen somewhere here if you want and it tries I hope friend solves your problem.

I'm sorry for my English
Link2sd
i think the best solution for your problem is as follows:
(u should have root to perform these steps)
1.download and install Link2sd from google play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=en)
2.go to the app you want to move to your sd card (u can use the search button)
3.tap "Move to SD card" if that fails and its a system app u can tap actions then select "Convert to user app" then tap "move to sd card"
For CWM and custom ROMs for this device go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588130
btw i have the same phone and its great

Just install an app called Framaroot, and choose one of the options, if one fails, choose the other one.(that's how I rooted my Hisense U970, so it will most probably work for you).

[MOD][SWAP internal SD with external SD][SM-G355HN]

First why:
When I got this phone I was disappointed with fact that primary storage isn't switchable and free user data space is approximately 2.2 GB. Which means that all application data goes to internal storage so it is impossible to use apps like Need for Speed, Navigation app, ShowBox and others. I believe you all find that annoying.
After I saw @Dhruvit Pokharna topic I started to poke a little bit over XDA and I noticed that this was done before ( back in 2012 ) and with various Samsung phones. So I decided to change and adapt script for our phone. Original script was created by @mattiadj from whom I still waiting for permission to change script and to publish it. But I'am going to do it anyway.
What the script do:
It swipe internal sd (/storage/sdcard0) with external micro sd (/storage/extSdCard) and viceversa.
"With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff"
required:
- root
- custom recovery
- kernel with init.d support
- BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson
- swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN
How to and why:
Before installing swap if you moved some apps to sd move it back to phone to avoid conflict of course.
1. Root your phone first
2. Install custom recovery *(here or here)
3. Make a backup. Just in case of zombie attack *
4. Install kernel with init.d support *(here or here)
5. Install BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson.zip (flashable provided below )
6. Install swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN.zip (flashable provided below)
7. Why * because you have choice
That's it. Your external sd is internal now and you can enjoy your big internal memory.
If you want to reverse it simply go to /system/etc/init.d delete 11extsd2internalsd and reboot your phone.

Tutotial is simple. Step by step.
I don't see reason why you can't use this if your Phone has same spec as mine .
Check with root explorer following :
/storage/sdcard0
/storage/extSdCard
/dev/block/vold/179:129
If this is it you're good to go..
And for your existing game data just copy it after at proper place
Here is whole script:
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:129 /storage/sdcard0
sleep 30
mount -o bind /data/media /storage/extSdCard
chmod 777 /mnt/extSdCard
sleep 10
chown 1023:1023 /storage/extSdCard
chown 1000:1000 /storage/sdcard0

Install applications from play store goes to default internal memory without problem.
When you have downloaded apk from some other site only way for now is to copy it to /data/app than change permission and owner and install it from there. I still didn't figured it out why is that only way for download and backuped apks.
Regarding data app I think you mean what was asked in second post. If you used link2sd or some similar app after swaping just check are data and obb are stored under folder /Android in your external SD so that you could use your saved apps resources.

Hi!
File Commander shows the swap (a lot of memory as device memory) and a little amount (the internal, as sd card memory), but when I get into app administration it only shows the small amount of memory as the avaible for applications, I've tried downloading some apps after the process just to see if that amount was static but it keeps going down with every app, so I guess it isn't working, or only games and apps which use large amounts of memory are saved at the external storage?
Edit: I can't neither nstall apps directl from the storage, just from the play store.
Thanks! :good:

I see, just installed a game and it's working, thanks!
I found something, I don't know if it is a bug or me doing something wrong, any app that messes with the identity of the phone doesn't seems to work. I've tried with "Tablet Metrics" module with the xposed framework and Rom toolbox lite, also doesn't work changing the device id.
Thanks alot. I love this

Well, i already did it, ty Revert works very good
But i wanted to know what i can make wrong. I mean i did everything as it wrote in title. But maybe such fail was already corrected by some user.
And also free space was the same for card and phone memory. i mean if free memory on phone is 200mb, then on sd card its also 200mb.

If you looking in settings storage you will see that. It's the way it is because I couldn't swap whole data partition. I only swap extSdCard with legacy sdcard0 or internal memory. Swapping mmcblk0p22 with mmcblk1p1 wouldn't work because p22 is fst ext4 and p1 is vfat.
