[Q] SD Card woes

Really happy with Tab 2 in general, but..
I've always used App2SD or similar and this fails to show SD card as an option.
SD card is seen by system, system can/has formatted SD card.
Root access is good, thanks one and all for the posts.
With ES explorer extSDcard is not always shown, have to enter root first then mnt etc to find it.
Can safely browse, add and remove files with most applications.
TiBackup has used SD card.
I really want to keep the system/application storage at maximum free space. Is it just App2SD or does everyone have the same issue?
Cheers
Alec.

This script simply swaps the mapping, external becomes internal and internal would be external. Not sure that helps. Guess you can shove in a big ol uSD but probably best advice is don't load a bunch of unused apps. 13GB internal is a lot of space.

How to install apps in external SD Card

Hi All,
I've two tablets and the internal free space in getting lower, I need to install apps directly on their external sd cards. How is it possible? All the "2SD" apps don't work.
Thank you all in advance :good:

You can't unless you root the tablet and use non standard software.

Really...... I was under the impression that it could not be done at all.
Please tell how as I would like to know also.
Thanks.

didnt figure this out but u can use titanium and move those on the device to leave more space for other installations.

If you are rooted and on a stock ROM or ROM not using JB 4.2 (Google changed the file structure again in JB 4.2), you may be abe to use zedomax's script that swaps the internal and external SD cards. Although it's long, I would suggest reading through the entire thread as glitches with the stock ROM update to JB 4.1.2 and work arounds are addressed later in the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857391&page=1

I'm interested in this as well. I read a post on something called a directory bind...??? I guess that moves app data to the SD card. I currently have just over 9 gig of space left to fill (16gig model). Just put in a class 10 32gb card in last night to find out that app2sd does not work...
I read today that link2sd might work. Haven't gotten a chance to try it yet though.

I tried link2sd and the other one mentioned in this thread with no luck.
I don't really want to do the the card swap method.
So........... if anyone has another way to store apps on a mico sdhc card that truly works, I'm in.

Found app that truly works
I finally found an app that truly transfers your app data to your "extSdCard" but you do need to have root.
The app is called "Directoryblind" and can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262 and the most current file is DirectoryBind_0.2.0o.apk
The app has been out since 12-2011 with many updates since its release.
So I'm posting it on this Note 10.1 section as I have never seen it talked about in this section and I thought it may help someone else find this app.
Again it truly does work.

You can move all your apps to your SD card when your phone is rooted but remember some apps will crash or don't work when placed in SD card.

Yes my device is rooted.
I hv installed Root all to SD but it's showing Storage is not mounted. I have clicked on Mount but still it's the same.
I think this app will allow data to move in SD card.
Please HELP...!

use titanium backup for moving apps.
your phone must be rooted for it

I reply here because I spent a lot of time searching through very old posts and trying outdated methods. I didn't know that actually today there is a very easy solution to move whatsapp media folder to SD card. It perfectly worked on my Samsung Galaxy A3 A320FL:
1) Root (I used twrp + magisk method)
2) Download "App2SD" (the original by Vicky Bonick; it's free) and follow instructions on how to create partitions
3) Use "folder mount (app analyzer)" feature, which apparently was not considered in the old posts in this forum, so I suppose it was recently added to App2SD.
It's like folder mount, but it's pre-set for some common apps, including Whatsapp. With this feature, you can successfully move Whatsapp media folder to SD, in one clic.
In my case everything worked fine. When I reboot I have to re-mount folder, but it takes one second (just open Apps2SD, tap Folder Mount, slide "whatsapp other").

Low Internal Memory (Could be glitch)

Hello. This is my first time to be posting on a forum.
So I recently installed a custom ROM on my old Samsung Galaxy S Duos. (GT - S7562)
I have an 8gb external sd card.
The ROM I have installed is PMP King Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7562/development/pmp-sduos-pmp-king-rom-stable-t2829999)
It worked fine. The performance of my phone improved, but the only problem I keep encountering is the low phone memory.
I have no idea if it could possibly be from the sd card, or the custom ROM itself since it switched the internal and external memory. I'm planning that maybe I should install another custom ROM or buy another SD card. It really irritates me it keeps saying the memory is full when it really isn't. Is there a way to bypass it? Because I cannot access gallery, photos fail to save, and some apps even crash.
Could the problem be my external sd card?

I think its damaged

Adoptable Storage on Honor 4c

Hi There..!
Is there any method to adopt SD Card as internal storage in honor 4c since adopting sd card is one of the new feature in marshmallow. I googled it and read many forums but found nothing. I want more apps to install but not enough space. even link2sd is not working with marshmallow.
Can this be done by formatting sd card manually as private..?
Any help appreciated. Thanks...

Huawei removed the "Adoptable Storage" option just like LG and Samsung in Marshmallow.
Link2SD isn't compatible with Marshmallow. Use Apps2SD - All in one Tool instead. I am using it on Marshmallow and it works!
Yes you can actually manually format your SD as private but it will make things extremely worse. Your total storage will be shown correct (i.e. Internal + SD Card) but the free space will be reported incorrectly (your SD card's free space will be shown as 0 Bytes). Furthermore your SD card will be completely inaccessible within the device. Even though the Adoptable Storage option is great but apps like Apps2SD provide you more flexibility and control over which apps you want to keep in Internal and which in External.
The following commands should be executed using ADB and USB Debugging switched on in Developer Settings. (i.e. turn on USB Debugging and connect your device to computer; open Command Prompt in the folder where Platform Tools ADB/Fastboot are present): Credits to Modaco for posting this solution for Samsung http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/
Your external SD card will be formatted during this process. Backup what's important before following the below instructions
Code:
[B]adb shell[/B]
[B]su[/B] [I]~ root privileges are required[/I]
[B]sm list-disks[/B] [I]~ this will list the available disks that can be adopted; take note of the disk id in output which is disk:XXX:XXX or disk:XXX-XXX[/I]
[B]sm partition disk_id private[/B] [I]~ obviously replace disk_id with the one shown as output in above command; this process will take some time[/I]
Your SD card will be set as Adoptable Storage. Reboot your device just in case. But I still remind you that this whole process is risky and Adoptable Storage doesn't works quite well in EMUI.

root essentials on play market can add adoptable storage

I have used root essential and at last I have the freedom of 16 gb memory in which I can Install apps
U should try it
Its better than manual method and safe also
It does show 0 bytes in setting storage menu but in file manager it shows real storage value

Yes bro but just use a faster sd card for quick moving and creation of files.
Also root essentials makes it poosible to revert the changes.just remember u dont have access to the internal storage anymore by connecting to pc,but u can get back by reverting it so its all safe.

Could someone confirm that adoptable storage actually work? I tried to set it up in mixed mode: sm partition DISK mixed 50 with a 32GB SD card. It did seam to work, but at some point when I was installing software I got back out of memory, but for sure I have not used up the 16GB. Any Ideas?
I'm also not sure if you should use the migrate data option in the "Memory & storage" menu or not.
I'm using C675B530 and always running out of internal storage

When i used the root essentials to make adoptable storage on my 4c it needed to download and flash a zip from the recovery in order to work and it end up bootlooping my phone.
the good news is that i fixed my phone just by uninstalling xposed framework.

I would have to apologize, Xposed did not work as it should have so have not tried it again for a while.
Can't recall the name of the module

I definitely would not advise messing with adb unless you know what you're doing.
Maybe if you changed the default save location to the SD card, and transferred all media across?

not with this app, it corrupted my sd card and needed to format it manually, so when i did this i manually created two partitions the first is fat 32 for storage and the second is ext4 to link my apps there and it worked. the app i used to link the other apps is called "link2sd"
