[Q] Clean Rom 5.0 and internal vs external SD card question

Hello all,
I have a VZW Galaxy S3 and am using Scott's CleanRom 5.0
I noticed yesterday that my internal card is 2gb from being full. My external SD is a 32gb and only has a few pictures and some music on it. So I have been wandering around the phone settings trying to figure out how to move my apps to the sd card and free up some space. Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks in advance.

The only app that works is link2sd, on the market. But one draw back is you need to reconfig your external sdcard to do this. Reformat and create 2 partions on your sd card, first partition should be fat32, this where you keep your stuff (music/video/pics) and the second partition is for your apps. link2sd will move your app to the second partition on your sdcard and create a reference so your OS would know where to find it.
Note: If you already have stuff on your sdcard, you can keep them by resize the first partion then create the second partion. This way you still have your data intact.

I think you are better off moving data instead of the apps. You can get your music, images, and videos and free up a lot of space (Samsung camera can default to save on external card, 4.2 Canberra doesn't have that setting as far as i can tell). Advantage of this is that even if you brick / break / wipe your phone you can still retrieve your images and music. Pop the card in a new phone and everything is still there. More than that, have titanium backup on the external card and easily transfer non-system apps to the new phone.

Let me make sure I understand correctly. The app will guide you through the partitioning process or is this something I have to do independent from the app?
Thanks in advance.

First I guess I need to explain that I still use iTunes in conjunction with Tune Sync for my music so back up isn't an issue for music. My photos are uploaded to SmugMug so they too are backed up. It just seems that my data and apps are hogging the internal SD.
I have TB Pro installed but admittedly don't know much about it yet as I have converted from the Dark Side (IOS). So, how do I get it to do what I need? Perhaps there is a tutorial somewhere on YouTube I could look up.
EDIT: I found the setting in Camera storage but no option to change it. I just says "SD Card" I assume that is internal SD?

You have to do it manually. It's pretty simple, may take around 20min. Just download the "gparted" iso image, then use imgburn to burn this image on your cd, reboot with cd as default boot device instead of your harddisk, once you booted into gpart operating system, there will be a gui you could use to partion your sdcard, first resize your existing partion, then create a new one from the unallocate partion as ext4. Remember both partion have to be PRIMARY and set the ext4 to boot (once you create the ext4, just right click, select flag then select boot).

Thank you for all of this. I won't be able to do this until I return where I can burn the image. Looks fairly simple and I will give it a go when I return to work.

You could always plug your phone into your computer and drop and drag the files you want over to your external card.

You only can move video/music/pictures/backup files etc.. to your ext sdcard, but you cannot move your apps to external card. Your apps will stopped working. Link2sd allowed you to install all your downdoad apps to your SDcard (most of them, some apps required to stay internal, like widgets etc...)

I should have been more clear. What I suggested was just for backing up files in case the internal memory were to get wiped, example being if a new ROM was flashed with Odin, back to stock, etc. Thanks.

I did more research prior to moving them manually and found that what you just posted would have that affect. So, I still haven't done anything. My computer is old and not capable of burning a disc so I need to use a work computer but will have to do it after hours.
On a semi- related matter, since flashing CR 5.0 my settings for "Nearby Devices" is grayed out. I have been using this in conjunction with viewing photos on my TV. Any thoughts on why this might have happened? I re-flashed without success in gaining access.

I believe you need to install Allshare in order for this option to work.

Is there a way to download and install the Allshare app separately? I didn't choose it when doing the CR5.0 install. I looked on the playstore, but don't see it. I was going to re-install the ROM, but would rather just load the app if i could.

Only way I know is to flash ROM again. I don't use it. You don't have to wipe data just cache and dalvik.

Thanks for that information. I wonder if Allshare is available somewhere? Google is my friend...

This appears to be the Allshare app. It does everything the stock app did. I'll try it and report back.

EDIT: Nope, when opened it states: Allshare Framework not installed application will exit

Well, it was worth asking the question. I will be reflashing the ROM tonight. I just noticed a issue with what I believe would be the KindaCrap mods I installed. I removed the clock from the notification bar, and changed the battery to just a percentage, and the percentage was really slow while charging like it wasn't taking a charge. After rebooting I was near 60%, when it was showing me 20% before the reboot. I think a fresh install will be good.

[Q] Don't understand change in my SD card folders

I was trying to update TWRP and downloaded the zip. When I used Root Explorer to see where the file had downloaded, I noticed that the folders on my SD have changed. (or at least I think they have). when I open "storage" I think I had different folders. Now all I see is extSdCard, sdcard0, and a series of usb drives:UsbDriveA, :UsbDriveB, :UsbDriveC, :UsbDriveD, :UsbDriveE, and :UsbDriveF,
I am pretty sure there used to be sdcard1 and no UsbDrives at all. Am I not remembering correctly, or has something changed in the folder structure of the SD card?

I think it's a microsoft affect. If your PC is running windoze one of things windoze does is write files on its own. Every time you hook up to it you lose a little space

That's interesting. None of the USBdrives have anything in them. I'll see if any more show up when I connect to my windows 7 puter. I'm guessing that there is no harm in deleting some of 'em.

Is Root the only way to move games from internal to SD external?

I just bought a shield and apparently it has a feature to move apps from internal to external. When I use is, the move never works (says not supported or error). Is my only solution to root and use one of the rooted apps like Foldermount? Just want to make sure before I root b/c as of now I have not done that and my 16gb is being crushed by games.

Are you running the latest ota ?, you can move from internal to external using 4.3, but in the latest ota we are having some issues moving files to the sd card, i suggest you to root and try it, is not a dificult process you can do it in 30 minutes, good luck having root =D

yes - latest OTA as I updated once I booted up via wifi. Ok - so it;'s not me. Any ETA on the fix b/c I rather not root if possible. If it's TBD, I'll root tonight.
btw - really LOVE the shield thus far. Now if I can only figure out how to truly remove a gamemapper setting and not have to hold/presss then select move to move the buttons, I'll be good. I swear - I set to default and then go back to the game and it goes right back to the original settings I d/l via the d/l option. Very fustrating

it doesn't work with all games.
For now I tried it with Nova 3 and that worked.

[Q] Lollipop: SD Card Write for Legacy Apps

Hey Guys -
Amongst other devices, I have a rooted Nvidia Shield Tablet which I primarily use for gaming (of course) and love. Recently, I upgraded to Lollipop and soon after even completely reset the tablet by reapplying the recovery image, then upgrading to Lollipop via OTA (since recovery files still haven't yet been updated.)
There's just one main issue I cannot find a solution for: I have many legacy apps / games and for some of them need to have SD Card write access. Take for instance "Star Wars - Jedi Academy." It's a paid app and when downloaded installs a small APK as well as a folder with the Demo version of the PC game's files. The app says if you copy the retail version files to a folder and point it to them, it will play the full game and does - however - these files are 3.5gb therefore I copied to a folder on my SD. When I open the app/game and point it to the SD Card folder (which it sees), it says the target isn't writable.
When Lollipop first came out, I know many apps needed to be upgrade to be able to write to the SD card - due to Storage Access Framework I believe. They must know that some legacy apps probably may never get updated. How are we to use these? I'd think the fix would come in one of the following forms:
- Xposed Add-on (Installer/Framework still not compatible with Lollipop, though )
- Play Store App - Non-official workaround like ones offered for KitKat
- Lucky Patcher modification?
- Some other method which may require root
- A base Android setting I've overlooked
So... does anyone know a method which is currently out and working? Thanks!

I recently wrote a post about this. Tl;dr you need to reformat your card as ntfs to get it to work, and then do some craziness with the Google Storage Access Framework on command.

Wait a second. Can't you write a simple app like SD fix to repair the way the SD card is accessed?

Not sure it will solve your problem, but when I first upgraded to Lollipop I could not write anything to my sd card. Someone else mentioned that if you install Folder Mount, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount, upon first launch it would recognize the issue and offer to fix it. I tried it (used Folder Mount on my old Hisense Sero Pro 7 for a long time so I trust it), and sure enough it works great. Then just uninstall it once you've rebooted. End of problem for me...

Easy fix. If you have root use SD Card Fix by NextApp
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
Gives you read write back to your ex SD.

Wow - Thanks for all the replies guys! I got it to work!
After reading each, I decided to first try w.0.o.t's suggestion which is a direct but simple edit of a system file instead of installing an app for which I don't know what it does exactly. The example in the link he sent was a bit different as it was for 4.3, so here's what I ended up doing to make it work for 5.0:
1. Opened Root Explorer Pro on my tablet
2. Browsed to the file "/etc/permissions/platform.xml"
3. Copied it to the root of my internal storage (sdcard0) for backup
4. Held down touch on it and choose to Edit in Text Editor. It asked if I wanted to mount volume as RW to which I replied yes
5. Located the section "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" and made the edits listed in the "EDITS" section below these steps
6. Saved file, held touch on filename again, went to permissions, and verified that it was set to "644" - it was
7. Restarted tablet
EDITS
Original Data in permissions.xml
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>
Edited Data in permissions.xml What I changed the above values to...
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
Notes when editing:
- Make sure that you change "r" to "rw" on the first listed group - may easily be missed when coming above two
- When typing extra line, my tablet auto-corrected the word "gid" and changed it to "god" without me noticing. After rebooting and it not working, I went back and saw the error, fixed it, rebooted, then it worked
To test, I opened FX File Editor and browsed to a file on my SDCard which I previously could not delete. This time, I was able to delete it without issue
Thanks again guys!

glad you sorted it out.

No root is needed.
It requires a computer, and probably for you to eject your SD card from your shield and insert it into the computer in a different way, so it's recognized by Windows Explorer.
So you plug in the SD card as mentioned.
Open it up in Windows Explorer. (This usually comes up when you insert the card, but if it doesn't you can usually open the Start Menu or Start Screen and type Explorer to find it.)
Copy everything you want to save out of the card.
Right click in an empty space, then choose Format...
Format the thing as NTFS. Turning off Quick Format probably won't hurt. Don't bother with any other options.
Cross fingers. Try the card again.

No luck whatsoever. I'm getting the same issue as the original poster. I've tried with both ES File Explorer and FX and Documents crashes as soon as I select the SD Card. The SD card is in NTFS format, would exFAT format make a difference?

I have tried using ES File Explorer on my LG G3 running Android 5.0.1 and I was able to write to the SD card. So at this point its an issue with the tablet, which is immensely infuriating since I can't install games to the SD car properly, which is the main thing this tablet is for isn't it?! I really want to play some Hearthstone on it!

You know, at this point, any change in format might make a difference. I'm scratching my head as to why you need to explicitly provided Storage access to ES File Explorer, maybe it just no longer assumes it has the permissions (stock Samsung apps are okay with writing anywhere and preliminary documentation about OEM installed apps said the same thing).
The good news is that I've never destroyed an SD card by formatting formatting it. Go nuts. Try things other than what I suggested... At this point there's a good chance I'm missing something. And I'm sorry for botching my suggestions.
Here's an idea. Between switching formats and maybe allocation sizes (I'm leaning towards trying the smallest one), try formatting your SD card in the system's Storage settings.
Here's another: try the SD Formatter application available here. Raspberry Pi SD cards are sometimes as cranky as Shield ones.
http://www.raspberrypi.org/help/noobs-setup/

I got it to work! I used the SD Formatter you suggested, although it only let me format it to FAT32. I did see some other threads though that said something about renaming the SD card too, so I decided to rename the volume label to "Shield_SD", and I'm guessing that this is the problem, as I never named the SD card. I noticed also that on my LG G3 that the external SD card had a name that was a bunch of random characters, but I could write to it.

[Q] Bloody hell, is there no way to copy back stuff to the SD Card?!

Why hallo there peeps!
I have rooted my Z3 and before that I copied everyting from the internal and SD card to my Macbook through Droid Nas and it worked flawlessy. The problem is to get it back... Is there no easy way to do it??? The infernal horror way of blocking writing to the SD card after Kitkat 4.4 is just pain in the ass :/
I have been searching and trying but havent found any easy way... Sofar the only way Ive found is to copy files to the internal and then copy it manually back to the SD card..
There has got to be a better way than this?

Have you tried just browsing a network share from File Commander and using that to copy directly to the SD card?
I haven't tried this yet myself, I just use USB to copy stuff as its faster but I think File Commander has better access to storage being the system file manager.

why not use a card reader for the sd card? the issue with kitkat was applications/data writing to the sd card unless the fix was applied, from what you are saying you are having issues copying from the computer to the sd card when its in the phone

Well I know that works but I want to get it working to copy directly to the phone the freedom and access ya know.

I tried last night with File Commander and it worked fine.
Set up a a share of the music folder on my HTPC.
I then used the Local Network function in File Commander with the following settings.
Domain: workgroup
Server: HTPC/Music/
User: (username)
Password: (password)
Server name is just the name of the network device and the name of the shared folder.
I was able to copy over folders of music from the HTPC to my phones SD card directly over wifi. It wasn't particularly fast though but both devices are on wifi.
File Commander could be a bit better at selecting multiple folders at a time though and whiles it's copying, you can't use the app for anything else.

http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer I used version 2.6.1 on mines for T-Mobile Z3 and it works flawlessly give that one a shot.

Gutdamnit, I cant get no xposed to work. I tried the latest , 2.6.1 and it says:
"Xposed is not (yet) compatible with Android SDK version 21 or your processor arcittexture (armeabi-v7a).
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: could not load library "libdvm.so" needed by "/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/cache/app_process"; caused by library "libdvm.so" not found"
What to do?

Download FolderMount. Run it, grant it root access, and then let it patch the system to allow full write access to external storage. After the phone reboots and you've verified it works, you can uninstall FolderMount.

Finally got it working, checked out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 and installed the Alpha release and it worked
So know I got Xposed working and all the mods I want, finally!
Thanks for all the help peeps! :good:
