Since KitKat doesn't allow movement of photos, apps, etc. to the SD card?
Now I'm wondering what is the use of my SD card cause I can't move anything to it? I don't use music on mine due to the battery life. I have a lot of photos, not sure if I need to delete now or what. I don't want to root. Thanks!
My parents are also going to get a phone w/ only 1.3 GB usable storage. And not sure what to do with photos because I can't move them to SD cards.
Also, I'm not able to save documents or recording I created to my SD card anymore. That was a reason why I bought the lowest internal space for a tablet I have. ANy tips?

I had read some really long and interesting articles and many posts about unhappy consumers concerning this issue with KitKat 4.4 and others are still wondering what it is Google is trying to do as it seems it is all based on a more secure system for our phones security wise and as for privacy and information especially when it comes to APPs that we tend to install and these APPs always wanting access to your phones information things that are very much personal. IE: Contacts, Emails, File Placement as to what the APP installs and where it installs things too.
The problem is Google did not care to inform the Public on these changes in KitKat 4.4 OS and how the SD Card is for the most part becoming some what obsolete. Many upgrading their low end cell phones that have little internal memory/storage and now using KitKat 4.4 and not knowing nothing to these critical changes of the SD Card and all that will effect their every day use of apps and gadgets such as the camera, music player, the storing of personal files etc...
My own suggestions, people can try a custom ROM or Kernel but of course there is always the warranty issue if your cell phone product is new and voiding your warranty. Avoid buying a cell phone with KitKat on it or avoid upgrading to KitKat for the time being to see what Google does and if they are going to listen to the general public and change things or not who knows... All things to think about now and in the future.

My 2 Cents
Would one of these/something like it work on my Moto G: 1 2 3
If I used a file explorer, could I move apps and music from Moto storage onto flash drive and still be able to play them? Is it convenient and easy to use, 8GB is barley enough for me. Thanks
@Banana4Life ..... Look at the "Meenova" USB OTG unit (there is a thread in Moto G accessory forum but i cannot remember exactly where) you can find it by Googling. It is similar to your 3rd example, that is it can be used in Moto G also as a normal size USB in Laptop or Desktop. I have one and I see it's advantage is that it comes without a fixed memory i.e. you can put any micro sd card that you want in it i.e. 4Gb, 8Gb, 16Gb, 32Gb, 64Gb etc. If I remember correctly it costs $15 plus shipping & handling. It is a Chinese firm but has an office and sales point in California.
I find it most useful for keeping a copy of "sdcard" and backups which in turn can be copied to my Laptop as extra insurance LOL. I also store movies on it and can play them directly onto my phone. One word of warning (which you probably know) do not be tempted to format with NTFS - Moto G wont read it and theres a chance you will soft brick.
It looks pretty nice, much smaller than my examples. Can you play apps off the micro sd card? I would mainly use it for apps and music. Is it easy to access the stuff you put on it as well, do you use ES file explorer?
@bana4Life ..... I can't give you a definite answer to whether you can run apps directly from the Meenova device all I can say on that is that it is quite easy to transfer apps from your phone onto the Meenova, the only trouble I find is that as soon as you select the app it immediately asks if you want to "install" it and this it does on your phone not on the device. I don't know whether using one of the apps which claims to be able to transfer apps to an external sd would be able to help you out but my own limited experience with such apps as "Apps to SD", "Move to SD", "App Manager" etc has not proved very helpful.
As far as music is concerned, same as videos or movies, it is simplicity itself ..... If you run your main app to play music or video then the app automatically searches for the music etc on both your phone storage and the usb storage and plays it fine.
My file manager of choice is "Root Explorer" (from the play store), I'm presuming that you are rooted - if not you can still use "Root Explorer" but you won't have the option to read/write files, only read them and you won't have the ability to see the hidden system files.
The Meenova shows up in your file system as ...../mnt/media_rw/usbdisk. I should have mentioned before that although I am rooted and have custom recovery installed I am running the stock 4.4.3 Rom and if you are running a custom Rom then much of what I have said may not apply.
I don't think I've been a lot of help to you, however good luck with whatever you try. By the way I think my remarks apply to all USB OTG storage devices not just Meenova. Yes I think the Meenova is the smallest such device on the market.
So with the app problem, you can move an app from phone to SD, but to play it you'll have to move it back onto the phone, then after using it move it back onto SD. Is that what you can do? Also, didn't know the main music app would search the SD, thought that you would have to use something like Es File Explorer to play music (which is what I use). I am also on stock 4.4.4
You have actually been helpful, went into detail and gave info :highfive: :highfive: :highfive:
@Banana4Life ..... Just a quick answer ..... When I talked about moving the app to the usb storage I was referring to the .apk ...... but when you click on it it will give you the option to "Install" which it then does on your phone so really you save nothing, the app is still installed on the phone! ..... As far as I'm concerned the only real use of usb storage is to store large amounts of data i.e. mp4 movies which would otherwise take up valuable phone memory. This applies equally to large numbers of music files.
The two apps I use for playing movies are (1) MX Player Pro and (2) Best Video Player. Both are on Play Store. Both will search for compatible video files to play on both the phone and the usb storage.
I'm not a huge music "fan" but I have my playlists which I play using the stock Google "Play Music" app (installed by default by ICS - Jelly Bean - KitKat) it's also on Play Store. This app will also search both the phone and usb storage for music files.
An apk file can be installed with out a connection right? So you can put multiple apk's on SD card, install one then uninstall it to install a different apk
@Banana4Life ..... I think we are beginning to talk about different things here LOL ..... If you download an app from the Play Store then nine times out of ten the .apk file will be downloaded to your phone in the ..../data/app.... folder - the associated "odex" file will probably be downloaded into your phone in the ..../system/app.... folder and any other associated data files will be downloaded to other phone folders ..... Now there maybe apps which will allow these files to be downloaded to your place of choice i.e. usb storage .... BUT I don't know of any apps which will do this.
You use the words ".... on SD card...." please remember the Moto G does not have an external SD card (unless of course you have the Moto E which has an external SD card) so when you use a File Manager and see the folder entitled "sdcard" this refers to the internal memory space NOT to an external card.
Yes you could swap installed apk's back and forth between usb storage and normal phone storage but it just seems to me a lot of work for not very much gain.
You say "....apk's can be installed without a connection" .... Not quite certain what you mean by that..... You don't need your phone connected to a PC by a cable ..... You can have your USB storage (Meenova) connected to your phone ...OR NOT ...... of course your phone will be connected to Play Store by WiFi, but that can't be what you mean
Yea, I am android pleb I get confused
In your 2nd reply you said apps such as App to SD were not very useful but your also said it's easy to transfer apps. By transferring apps you mean by the apk and you tried to use the App to SD to move the whole app not just the installer, but even though using App to SD it still requires you to install it on phone. Is it not possible to move the apk file for every app or do just some work? There are some tutorials saying how to make default download place an SD or how to move an app to SD.
Maybe I don't understand what an apk is? Running an apk will install the app it's for right? Just a installer. And by the connection I mean as in once you have downloaded the apk file, running it won't require a WiFi connection?
And yea you said it comes up as /mnt/media_rw/USB disk in 2nd reply as well
Sorry if this doesnt make sense :/
@Banana4Life ..... I have never found the apps that transfer files i.e. such as "App2SD" any use for my purposes ..... BUT don't let that stop you trying them ..... you might find one that suits you and most of them are free in the Play Store.
Think of an .apk file as being an .exe file on windows ..... i.e. it installs and runs the App (Program) on your phone.
You don't need to have a WiFi connection to run 99% of apps on your phone. The obvious exceptions are online games which require an interaction between you and the Internet ..... Some simulations i.e. Flying - Motor Racing - Boat racing etc ..... Some games which require you to purchase in game upgrades ..... Games where you want to post "high scores" on a web site ..... etc.etc.etc.
I've ordered a black one today, hopefully wont take 20 days like they say it can
Im still not sure about the apps. You said it is quite easy to transfer apps from your phone onto the Meenova. What method did you do to transfer it? With the picture attached, does that option come up once SD card is put in? And just to be sure, once the app is on Meenova to use it I have to install it on phone first, then be able to put it back on Meenova right?
Thanks for recommending it and loads of information - I appreciate it :good::good::good::laugh::highfive: . If apps dont work, music is still important, I'll have to experiment
@bana4Life ..... Hope you are happy with it when it arrives. When I said in post#2 that there was a sales office/warehouse in California I was making the assumption that you were in the US because then they send it by US Postal Service and it takes two days ..... HOWEVER if you are outside US (which I now understand you are) then the postage is by Chinese Postal Service which is first class crap and will probably take nearly 20 days
Whenever I talk about moving files from one location to another (i.e. from phone to usb storage or the reverse) I am always talking about using File Manager "Root Explorer Pro".
When you have usb storage attached it shows up at ------ Settings>Storage>USB On the Go Storage Mounted...... In your screenshot (which I am guessing is using one of the "App2SD" apps) any reference to SD card refers to your internal memory.
It has just occurred to me that I have been assuming all along that you have the standard XT1032 or XT1033 Moto G (with NO external SD slot)..... WHEREAS if you have the Moto G LTE or the Moto E then you do have an external sd card slot.
Anyway I think I have gone as far as I can go with helping you out. I hope that your Meenova arrives quickly and that when you use it you will be happy with what it offers.
Yea I have XT1032. Its was dispatched today . Thanks again! :good: I'll try these App2SD apps, Im sure I'll manage somehow

So your basically wanting it to be an extension of the internal storage. The only use it has is movies and music. Well basically anything but apps.

Well that's what the apks are there for installing. If you download an apk and install it (click on it) the only use of keeping the downloaded apk is if you uninstall the app. You can then install it again.
Apps2sd apps are for phones with sdcard slots. You can partition the sdcard ( fat32 + ext4) and the second partition (ext4) acts as a extension of the /data (where installed app are). There's a lot more to those type of apps but I'm not going into it all. Irrelevant to usb-on-the-go (any storage going thru the micro USB port)

So Im just thinking it will act like an actual sdcard slot, but it wont. So the apk thing will work?...

No it doesn't act like a built-in SDslot. It acts like you've just plugged a memory stick into it.
Yeah copying apks will work it's just a file. Like copying any file. I just don't see what your going to gain from that. Your not going to be able to have more apps installed (ready to run).
The only practical use I've found for meenova is sharing pictures from my camera to my phone.
Hi all!
Ignoring the use of root-only apps, I was wondering how much benefit people get from rooting the xperia e3? In other words, saved space or performance enhancements....Not app accessibility.
I'm especially interested in how much internal storage can be freed up. I'm always running low on internal storage, despite transferring everything possible to the SD card.
I hope this thread is not considered too trivial. I have heard about the benefits of rooting in general but I'm wondering about how well it can fix some specific issues I have with this phone.
I haven't rooted before, as I am not interested in root only apps, but this might be my first root.
Thanks in advance...

Mhh By rooting my E3 I could install and play DH4, Summoners war, Brave frontier and respawnables at the same time without deleting data from apk or even uninstall one of them.
I can use customized audio mods, kernel/CPU/GPU tweeks and some other stuff like this
About saved space I got all the crap out of my phone (all google things, all sony bloatware, operator bloatware and so on...
Performance enhancements? By getting down CPU freq. using another governor, I can hear music (with phone speakers, no headset) on my work the full day ( from 7:00 am to 7:00pm for exemple) and being over 40% of battery when I come to home
I believe there are some other benefits there to root your E3 but I just can't remember which or I just don't found yet all other benefits ^^
PS: I hope you understand that all, I learnt english only from gaming, so please be indulgent

Hi
What can I do to free 1,3 Gb in the internal sd?
I sent many apps to the external sdcard except the google stuff, now I have 800 Mb free.
But I think I don't need the paid content of Sony and many others, but I don't know what to delete before I make my phone to be a brick.

Which apps can be uninstalled.
Sent From My Sony Xperia E3 D2212 using XDA app.
Use Link2Sd it indicates what all to uninstall or lucky patcher- it acts as freedom but is better than it

I know this is a long shot, but worth a try. I did some digging on Google search and came across no such thing, maybe due to my poor Japanese web searching skills.
I can't seem to find or transfer apps to SD. I transferred my 128gb card from a sim free Z5 Premium to the Xperia XZ DoCoMo version. My files are all present but going into setting and app, I can't see the change storage location option anymore.
Anyone with the Japanese variant who could shed some led?
Thanks.

Goto settings/apps and choose which app you want to move.
Then click on storage and there is an option to change to SD card

I think you overlooked my question. I've gone to setting and then apps and the tab to change storage location wasn't present for apps that can be transferred to SD like on my Z5 Premium.

I didnt overlook your question, as has been replied above not all apps can be transferred, if it can be then above the clear cache and data buttons there is an option to change storage.
If you r app cannot be transferred speak to the developer of the app

Here's the thing...no apps have the change storage location option available when you go into setting/app and choose a specific app to transfer to SD.
BOX, Instagram, Facebook Lite, Snapseed, Google Translate, an many more. Both phones run Marshmallow and Xperia Z5 these apps were able to be transferred to SD.
This is why I said you overlooked my question as well as the other person who replied.
Again, I've done all the checks and research. This isn't a noob situation we're dealing with.
Some of mine can some can't. Why some are and some are not i so not know.
No one is calling you a noob, sorry i couldn't help you
A little update. After digging around on Google search by typing Japanese model and various Japanese words, the Xperia XZ Japanese model from Docomo, Softbank, and AU has "Apps 2 SD" blocked. The only way is to root, if there is a possible way OR use ADB and convert the SD card into internal memory to have more storage space.
This is for anyone else wondering why...
Happy Holidays everyone.
D01J storage issue solved
Hi, I was having the same issue with dtab D01J but now it's resolved. What i did was to put in sd card and go to 'memory and storage>storage setting>default storage' . Change it to SD Card. System will reboot. Then system will manage space and shift some apps data to sd card. For games, i moved data file in obb folder from tab storage to sd card. Hope this helps!
I have 701 with standard firmware + root. I want to swap internal memory with external SD card. I wanted to use this software:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pr.swap.sd&hl=en
But it requires XPosed framework. So I looked for it, and below are the instructions for EMUI 3.1, but my device has version 3.0.5:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765
Because I have earlier version, I am afraid to install and brick my device.
I also checked the common method by editing config file vold.fstab , but it appears Huawei changed even this part and this file is not even there:
https://ibb.co/dEOhq5
I would like to not update the firmware and EMUI as I am little experienced and am afraid to brick my device. Also, I wonder if that PR Swap app simply wouldn't try to edit the vold.fstab file, which is not there, and fail anyhow ...
Could you please give me an advice how could I do the swap?
So, after working for a while I found out that this phone surprisingly has this built-in feature for swapping the memories:
Settings>Storage>Default location> (Select SD card)
After doing this, the phone restarts and all regular apps "thinks" that SD card is internal memory. However, the system of the phone itself actually "knows" what is what and continues to install the apps to the real internal memory.
I did this experiment: uninstalled facebook, messenger and skype, ran CCleaner. Internal memory had 5.06 GB used.
Then I installed these three apps back, and then internal memory had 5.5 GB used (external 64 GB SD card had the same amount of memory used - so nothing by default went to SD card)
Finally I moved these 3 apps to "SD Card" using app manager, and then internal memory had 5.3 GB used.
A couple notices I made:
1. After changing default location to "SD card", some data (probably) is actually moved to external memory, and now the phone needs more time to start. And I mean noticeably more time, like 4-5 minutes to boot fully. As I don't turn off my phone often so this is not a problem for me. (I noticed no difference in loading time of the apps)
2. I am almost certain that after setting default location to SD card the phone allows to move more apps to external memory. Also, the phone probably moved some system data to the SD card. Now there is a reasonable amount of free space in internal memory, so I am happy
Hi @astuntas , I have a quick question for regarding this feature. Using this setting, does the APK also get stored on the External MicroSD card?
My Internal Storage is so full that I often get the permanent notification that i am critically low even after I moved some apps to SD card in the Android Application settings because it looks like the APK itself still doesn't get moved and stays on the Internal Storage.
I was going to use the app called "Apps2SD Pro" which I bought from the Play Store and re-partition my MicroSD card but if the Android OS can do this natively then I would rather do that instead.
Please let me know, thanks.

For me the emui settings SD card storage is for son data only. But I never verified it.
to get more internal storage make sure you did move all movable apps to your external SD (AppMgrIII from pkaystire will tell you that). It will also let you clean your apps cache, Hicham could get back a lot of free space.
Apps SD pro must be a link2sd like app. They were used a lot on older device, mediapad x2 shouldn't be so dependent to these apps. More over they could Slow some app access, and sometimes make the device reboot.
One thing I know, is that android 6 does not over link2sd feature natively, as far as I know.
Give it a try anyway, it free internal space for sure, in a big amount.
As you are root, I suppose you've deblaoted you device?

Hi Djiban, I have debloated some apps yes but I despite this I just have downloaded a lot of little "lite" apps I find useful which take up a lot of space, especially the APK. These days it seems many apps (APK file size) just take up more space than they should. Just the stupid McDonald's app takes up more than 50MB and they all add up. It would be nice if Android natively was able to store the APK on the external SD card and not just some data files which it currently does now because the APK is what seems to be the majority of the space contents.
BTW, does EMUI B212 have "su.d" support or "init.d" support? I'm sure you or @ajsmsg78 knows this! Thanks guys.

It would be nice if Android natively was able to store the APK on the external SD card and not just some data files which it currently does now because the APK is what seems to be the majority of the space contents.
BTW, does EMUI B212 have "su.d" support or "init.d" support? I'm sure you or @ajsmsg78 knows this! Thanks guys.

Stock emui roms don't have init.d support. Kangvip slim does.

Ha, incentive to switch! How about SU.d then? Some apps like AFWall and Apps2SD require either/or su.d or init.d.
Edit: I use SuperSU in case it makes a difference.
