With the lack of apps2sd, my Sero 7 Pro was quickly running out of internal memory. I used ES File Explorer to look around in my device to see if I could delete anything. What I found was everything I downloaded or installed was being saved in a folder called Downloads on my internal card. I created a download folder on my external card and moved all the files. I went from about 500MB free internal to about 3GB free internal.
Now, my question, is there a setting somewhere that will make all downloads default to the external card?

Once I install a rom, (phoenixblood/eaglesblood are ones so that ive used so far) I lose functionality of the internal storage as in I cannot use astro file manager to go internal storage. I don't have a micro sd card. ive tried another file manager which shows my mnt/sdcard as blank. I can easily access my storage through cwm when installing zips. Is there a way to fix this?
edit: now on eaglesblood I can access astro without crashing how ever my /mnt/sdcard is empty when it isnt on stock rom. In storage settings it says the info for addiditional storage (/mnt/emmc) is unavailable when on stock rom it shows the total and available space. also when i start astro and go into the directory it says error creating external cache which should help explain why this is happening
They have external as priority for storage you can navigate to it from ::mnt/emmc also look for a "flash mount change" or something close in the Dev section probably a few pages back.

I found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144553
which one should I install right now i am using eagleblood
Not positive to tell you the truth personally I'd flash mount internal as primary and external as secondary and for ext4 file system that's all I know lol.

Well some of you might be wanting to know where the files download from the market are stored. The needs may be many. You might want to send the files via bluetooth or back them up just in case the phone gets wiped. Here is the directory of the apps downloaded from the market.
Requirements:
1)root access on your mobile device.
2)root explorer installed on the device.
Apps in the the phone memory:
In root explorer, go to data>app. Here you will find all the apps installed on the phone memory which had been downloaded from the market.
Apps on the sd card:
Again in root explorer go to mnt>asec. here all the files installed on the sd card will be in their respective folders by the name of pkg.apk
I hope this helps!!!

The question is pretty straightforward. Whenever you download an app from the market, it gets downloaded on to the internal memory 1st & then gets installed. If I've set the setInstallLocation to 2 via adb, it gets installed to sd. The problem here is that even though the app is installed directly to sd, its initially downloaded onto internal memory. My internal memory is low & doesn't allow me to download huge apps. I had to install games like Nova by downloading apks from the net using Opera browser & then install it. I can't do this for Market apps however. So, how do I make an app to download as well as install on sd?
I want to have Battlefield 4 Commander on my S2 plus but I don't have enough space left on my internal storage so I placed the OBB file for the app on the SD card but when I launch the app its gone download the OBB file on the internal storage...
Is there a way (WITHOUT ROOT) to make the app detect that I have the file on my SD card?
Google play
Foldermount

try with Gl to SD but need root !!
I also wanted that to be possible a few weeks ago. And it is. But unfortunately you'll have to root your phone. But it's worth it. I rooted my Galaxy sII plus. And I flashed the XXUMBG8 Which is android 4.2.2 jellybean . And it's working better than the stock one. So i recommend you to root it and upgrade your phone a little. Back to thread eeh, the app is called FolderMount and is free on google play. If you need any further help hmu :thumbup:

U could un-compile the app and rewrite the OBB detect code, but that'll require knowledge of Java, so I would recommend rooting. Won't hurt.
Smack that Thanks button if I helped!

On my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (6.0.1) I use SD card for watching movies. I gave access rights for MX Player and I can delete files from SD Card after I finished to wotch movie. Problem is that after file was deleted free space on SD card was not increased. It remains on the same state. Even If I delete all my files (20-30 gb) free space is not increased. And because of that I can not copy new files via MTP.
But if I delete a small file in Samsung file manager all previously used space became available.
It looks like some flush command is missing.

Might be a firmware bug.
Stock file manager has direct access to sdcard.
Where as third party apps are depends on Storage Access Framework.
If problem persists, kindly try any file manager like fx explorer to delete. If the problem exits with that too, it's definitely a firmware bug. Sometimes Just reboot will fix the issue or it will reclaim the lost space.
