I'm getting this message when I try to move apps to my SD card. The device dies not have a real primary external storage or the primary external storage is emulated.
I downloaded the OI File Manager and when I click on storage there is a link at the top that says emulated when I click on emulated it shows a pic of my SD card and beside it it says zero. How can I fix this issue? I'm running orca-nightly-i605jota-20130328. Build-JDQ39 kernel 3.0.64cm g8823489 4.2.2 base i605vrall4

What directories on the filesystem denote the onboard flash memory versus an external (8gb) sd card i've plugged into the back? Isn't the internal flash labeled as a sd card as well as my removavle sd card? I googled it a bit but had no luck.

The external SD card shows up as a sub-directory named "sd" under the internal SD card if you use the My Files app.
/sdcard is internal
/sdcard/sd is external (your card)

Queations to all....
Should a App2sd app be able to work on our Notes???
The reason im asking is because I had issues getting my 64g card to mount (ended up having to flash a recent OTA update from Samfirmware.com). I then wanted to move some of my apps to the 64g card but App 2 SD from the market says -
"The device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary extremal storage is emulated. Moving app to SD may not be supported by this device. "
Is this normal? I have never come across this before on any Android device before! Or is it something to do with the 64g card? or the Notes file tree?

Yes it's normal. Samsung make some different approach here.
In my perspective when you used to choose "move to sdcard" in apps manager, the apps move from internal memory to internal storage (/sdcard).
(External microSD card is not on discussion so far, im only talking about tablet internal storage).
Now by default in Samsung devices all apps are going to /sdcard, so you dont have to move them beacuse the are alreday there.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The solution for me (I have white SGN 10.1 16GB) is use DirectoryBind, i can have 20+ GB of games in external microSD Card.

Think your correct, makes sense anyway!!!
Could you elaborate more on this directory Bind thing you mentioned? ??

DirectoryBind main feature is to link/bind folders with data that are in external micro sd card, to empty folders with the same name that must be in /sdcard/Android/data or /sdcard/Android/obb. So games and apps thinks they're using internal storage but in fact data is in external micro sd card. This way you save the 11 gb reserved for storage.

Hey. I'm using zedomax's app2sd script. In my storage it shows that the script works fine, I.e the internal memory has been swapped with the external memory. But when I go to the application manager, it shows that I have only 11gb of space, I.e. the space of my internal memory. Even when I install apps from the play store, it gets installed only on my internal memory. When I go to the file mananger though, it shows that it is using my external SD card as my internal memory. Do I have to move any folder or change something for the app to get installed on the external SD? I'm attaching the screenshots.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Can the shield make the micro SD card default storage as in installing apk to SD card and have obb large game data files on SD card instead of small internal storage?

The last update allows you to transfer game obb folders to sd but its still buggy and isn't working for every game. Another way would be to root the shield and modify the vold fstab which I don't know exactly how to do it.
I've just updated my Motorola Moto E 2015 to Android 6 and tested the adoptable storage. Sadly it is only possible to move apps to the sd card if the card is formatted as an internal storage device. In this mode the sd card cannot be read from another computer and the twrp recovery cannot use the card to store backups. Also when the phones encryption key is lost there is no way to recover the data.
Is there maybe some way to move the apps to the sd card without encrypting the sd card? My phone is rooted and I also have the Xposed framework installed, but I didn't find any guide for something like this.
Did u try an app called "Move app to SD card"?

I've tried the app, but it tells me that moving apps is not necessary because the sd card shares the drive with the operating system. But that is not true. I have the internal drive under /storage/emulated/0 and the sd card under /storage/sdcard1. How can I fix that?

I'm not sure, I don't have the device but my friend does. You might have to do it manually through root explorer or another file manager.
