Hello,
I just received a 64GB Sd card (Samsung, Class 10). I was wondering if there was a way of adding that to the internal memory like Android M does (or at least something like that). My device is a moto g 4g xt1039 (1st gen 4g). I was wondering, because none of my gamedata is moving to the sd card. For instance, when i download Real Racing 3 all data will get into internal memory and stay there (same with all other games). I am running stock rom (5.1), non rooted (am willing to root for this).
Thanks in advance,
Joël van Daalen

I have a P3110 with 8GB of internal memory but SAMSUNG leaves me with only 4.45GB of free space.
So I finally gave up on stock roms and decided to install the CM 10.1.2. My tab is now lightning fast!
The thing is I'm still left with 4.45GB of free storage space altough CM 10.1.2 is a lot smaller than sammy's stock rom.
My question is: now that I am using CM is there any way I can reclaim the other half of my 8GB that samsung stole from me? And most important: if possible how to undo it and return to stock settings?
Thanks in advance!
The internal SD card is one of the partitions of the Flash memory, others (like system,boot,cache) use the rest of it,so you must repartition to release these memory and combine it into the internal SD partition. But the repartition operation is VERY DANGEROUS! It maybe bricks your device. Use a bigger external SD card is a better solution..
just buy 32 gb sd card and foldermount application, which in some way does the work with some problems ofc...but at last it does! and you will have some free space of about 1.5 gb free after 200 apps and such installed in your tab....actually thats the best that can be achieved....these tabs are low price ones and supposed to be re-sold and changed by 2 years max time interval...so thats the solution from experience and the sour true about our tabs...
enjoy :silly:
Thanks guys
I have seen some apps claiming to swap the internal to the external storage. What are your thoughts on that? Has anyone tried it?

Moto G 4G XT1039 upgraded to Android 4.4.4 - UK unlocked phone
System version - 21.1.46peregrine_retgb_retgball.en.GB retgb
Build number - KXB21.14-L1.46
MicroSD Card - SanDisk Ultra 64 GB XC I Class 10
I formatted the card on my Windows 7 pc with FAT32. It is recognised by the phone and I can use it normally. But every time phone battery dies, I get the message that the SD card is blank. It gives me an option to format the card. I get the message - Erasing the card. The card is then usable. Its file system is listed as Generic hierarchical. It has Used Space 76.0 KB and Free Space 59.3 GB. It also has 2 directories - Android and LOST.DIR.
This has happened about 3 times now and results in losing all files on SD Card. Has anyone else experienced this and any opinions as to what can be causing this?
Wait for the new update .56. I think will be available soon for the UK. It fixes sd card bugs.
Thanks, demolition23. It would still be interesting to know if this is just an odd issue with my phone and sdcard OR has anyone else has experienced this particular problem. Could it be because 64 GB sd card is not officially supported?
Hi everyone
I bought a lg g pad 7.0 a few days ago and have been facing an issue. My last tablet was a rooted nook tablet running 4.2.2 my new tablet is one 4.4.2 and ive heard it has something to do with the multiple user ability they added. anyway i only have 5 gb of internal storage and a empty 32gb sd card, for some reason there is an emulated sd card called storage/sdcard0
and my actual sd card is storage/ext-sd. i need to find out if there is a way to change default app install location or if i can delete the emulated partition and use it like jellybean.
btw i rooted using purple drake and it works just fine(except for the sd card)
Id appreciate any advice or help as this is very frustrating
I have the infuse which has a16gb ROM with 12gb internal SD and a 2gb data partition and a galaxy s5 with 16gb ROM which has 12gb storage space that is shared between apps and internal SD. I was wondering if there is a way to setup the infuse to work like the s5 does or at least switch the internal 12gb SD card with the 2gb app storage space. I need lots of room for apps and don't ever even use the internal SD card as I have a 32gb external card in the phone so there is like 12 megs total in use on the internal SD while app storage is completely full with hardly any apps installed. Just kind of seems like a waste to me. Thanks in advanced for any help you might be able to give

Not that easy. You would have to re-route (comment out) the line for /data/data in the fstab file on the boot.img ramdisk. If using stock ROM, then you have to make sure all that is signed the way Samsung wants it.
There are some later KK 4.4 ROM's that ignore the datadata partition (my signature has a link that will provide options) but if you have the AT&T model (v.s. Rogers) and still on FY 2.2 or GB 2.3, there does not seem to be an upgrade path anymore (patched bootloader to flash ICS+ is lost).
A simple solution is to get a MicroSD card, split up that MicroSD with a ext2 second partition, and then use Link2SD. Mind you, the apps on the external SD would be slower, but at least you can get more apps that what you could before.
Hope this helps.
I have cyanfox 4.4 kitkat installed on it already. I know there is ways to use external SD as ext4 partition, is there any way to do something like that with internal SD instead.

You may be able to figure out a solution with FolderMount (or one of the other options in the following SII thread):

Alternatively...
I am curious though, how are your wakelocks? Is your Infuse able to fall asleep? This can be determined by going into Settings > Battery > History Details, and checking the blue bar under "Awake". If it spans the width underneath that title (and the screen has been off for a portion of the uptime), then you have a GMS bug, and is common with most 2014 KK ROMs.
Not to sway you particularly - I compiled a build in 2015 that not only abandons /datadata, but also fixes the GMS bug:

May be worth it, even if only just looking at the post.
Hi everybody.
I have a Moto G 2015 1GB/8GB XT1541 model, currently completely stock with latest Android 6.0.1. I am also using a 16GB SD card unified with internal storage. The phone runs OK, could probably be a little faster.
My only problem is this: while I do not have too many apps installed, often the internal memory gets full and then I cannot get any updates; I have to clear cache and try again. The whole situation is rather "on the edge": I have to be very careful if I want to install a new app, I probably need to uninstall another one etc. And I feel that the SD card is under-utilized, keeping mainly photos and some app data.
Any suggestions on how to get the most out this phone?
My thoughts / questions:
1. What is the best way to use the SD Card in stock configuration? Will it be better if I separate it from internal storage? Could I root the phone in order to move (less frequently used) apps to the SD Card?
2. How do Android 7 custom ROMs handle the SD Card on this phone?
3. Would you say the phone runs faster on Android 7 (eg. AOSP Extended) than stock? Usage is quite light, mainly phone calls using Bluetooth (stability is a must), some browsing, Viber and Facebook (lite!).
Did you try with data migration from internal storage to SD?

I did, thanks. There have been some savings but not too much. There are some applications that do not offer the option to move them to internal storage.
Any more ideas, esp. regarding comparison with Android 7 custom ROMs?

You better switch to Custom ROM. If you are not interested in customising your ROM use Lineage OS.
I'm using Dirty Unicorns with Fire Kernel. Battery life in this ROM is the Best!
