So I just got a SD card an I tried to move app2sd an it says this device don't have a external storage? Could so,Rome please explain if you would be so kind..1st Samsung device always have HTC an Asus. Never had any problem like this on those that's why I'm confused.
My understanding is that Samsung (hardware thing so not fixable) prevents apps2sd for external SD on most devices. I think there is a workaround involving linking the ext to int folders.

I'm with the frankenstainMOD too, but I really don't know if swap of the memory is possible.
Btw, why you have this need?

Here's the link to the thread.
Please make a search next time.
It's been here for a while.
Make sure you back up your original file too.
I just recently purchased a 32gb class 10 micro sd card for my skyrocket, and it works perfectly fine.
The only issue i have is that the microsd card won't be read unless i use a file manager such as astro.. Apps like gallery or mxplayer won't read the microsd card.
This didn't happen with the 16gb class 4 micro sd card, so what is happening?
Anyway to fix this issue?
Thanks

Are you running any kind of custom ROM I would try formatting via PC with a different format if that fail go back to stock and see if it does the same thing if it does maybe something wrong with SD coding don't see any reason it would partially work

Interesting..
Btw when i ran media scan it says sd card is "usb storage". Not "external sd".... Could this be the reason?

Mini Tools Partition Wizard is the program to use if you are on windows. Use it to format the card to fat32 primary. If that doesn't do it replace the card.

Is there anyway to make the paths so the phone can determine its correct location?
Could it be the difference in size of the card itself too?

Fat32 primary cant even be seen on the phone....
When I reformat back with android, it works fine, other than the issue of not showing the files in apps, unless using a file manager.
After formatting you are rebooting right?

Yes, i am rebooting.
Only issue is that to view images in apps like gallery or mxplayer, the folder has to be on the root of the sdcard. Before i had a group of folders in one, and now it won't let me do this.
Am i possibly naming folders wrong?

Yep, I read a lot of stuff before making my first post and this was one of the things I wanted as well.

I've yet to root mine since there are conflicting reports on various different versions/roms with problems reading sd cards.
darkmans's 4.1.2 stock-deodexed for 8000 looks good but smaw's 8010 fix is only available for 4.1.1 :crying:

Expanding USB Storage? I don't know how, but if you say swap SD Card with external SD Card, i know how (maybe).
Try using Topdroid's vold.fstab tweak, maybe that will work. If you are on CM10, i can give the app that always work.
Its okay now, cm9 has an option to basically set the ext SD as USB storage

In 4.4.2, moving apps to SD is all buggered up. I just went out and got a 32gb card thinking I could move my 1+GB games to it.

Are you talking about for FM? I never had to enter a path. Just do the apps analyzer and then create the pairs and let FM do all of it automatically. If this isn't what you are asking then please elaborate.

I figured it out. I thought you had to make the paths manually. Didn't even notice the app analyzer. Purchased the premium version so I can move all my games! Thanks, man!
