Hi,
I have the 8Gb version of the Galaxy J5 (SM-J500Y) and am experiencing the same problem of low internal memory that everyone else seems to be. I have a 64Gb micro SD but my computer is not recognising an SD card in the built-in SD card reader (nor does it recognise the internal camera but that's a separate issue- since windows 10 upgrade)
After doing a little research, I think I understand that MiniTool Partition Wizard should see the SD card when USB linked if it is first rooted (I could be wrong). Other option is I could go buy a card reader or get the reader working. Tips welcome.
Either way it needs to be rooted before I can use Link2SD. As I understand it, I can root the thing, but only from Android 5.1.x builds. I tried rooting it from Android 6.1 and killed it. Was able to resuscitate it with the Kies App, but can only recover it to the latest Android (6.1)... so I end up at square one: unrooted and not able to root.
How do I get it working in Android 5.1.x so I can root it? How can I partition the SD card (preferably by getting the internal reader working)? And then which is the best ROM to flash? I'm leaning toward the Cyanogenmod 12.1 I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-cyanogenmod-12-1-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3468830 mostly because it seems stable and lite.
Help please. TIA
Anyone?
Even a little help to get me started would be awesome...

Hi guys just bought my first android tablet from ebay its a 10.2" TABLET PC,SUPERPAD 3 ,FLYTOUCH 3,ANDROID 2.3, 8GB. I have been having a few problems getting the sd card to load. I have tried 4 different sd cards and none of them work. When i insert the sd card it pops up reading sd card then nothing i go into the settings then to sdcard & device storage and all that shows up is internal device storage no sd card. I have tried to use apps2sd but that doesnt work either. I contacted the seller and he told this was normal and i would have to use a file manager to locate the sd card on the tab.
I am at a loss here as i have rooted my hero and my galaxy s2 and never had a problem using my sd cards or app2sd or anything like that. I am just wondering if this means the tablet could be a clone or a fake.
I would be grateful if someone could please give me some help or information on this
Thanks
Well, the first thing I would do is attempt to follow the seller's suggestion. Can you reach the SD card via a file manager? If so, perhaps it's worth reloading your OS (though I'm not sure how to do it on your tablet).
To address whether or not it is a knockoff, the general rule is:
If the price is too good to be true, it probably is.
Here is the firmware for the tablet
Model number : Android Tab10
Android Version: V2.3 2011-12-19 (001112)
Kernel Version: 2.6.329 [email protected] #289
Build Number: FRF85B
I had same problem FlyTouch2 but i tried low speed SD card. 4GB and 2GB and after 3-4 reformat those cards worked. I format those cards in device.
Class 6 card never worked.
Hi all,
I've just purchased a Samsung Tab 2 7.0 P3113 due to the fact that it has an external SD Card slot. I have found that I can not move any applications to the external card. This was one of the primary reasons I purchased the device. I have been using android devices for a while and my first Sony X10, was rooted and running custom roms within the first few weeks after I purchased it. In any case, I have read a number of threads, regarding this subject for the Tab 2 but I have not been able to have an installed app be moved to the external SD Card. Most post will say you have to root the device, (which I have) and use apps such as App2SD. I have even gone as far as loading a custom ROM, but no success. My last resort is to actually partition and repackage a ROM for an external 64GB SD Card and attempt to boot off of it so I will have more space. If anyone has truly been able to move an installed app to the external SD Card could you please point me in the right direction.
I would like some help on this too. But the silence is haunting.
Found this under a compilation thread that covers the 3113's and is down further on the same page in this forum.

I hope this helps and sorry for the re-re-re editing
AFAIK (and correct me if Im wrong veterans), is a defect of the OS not hardware. ICS and JB of the GT2's do not allow it as the internal memory is already labeled as sdcard. or that seems to be the prevailing opinion so far. I would like a work around but short of flashing a custom rom and/or kernel it seems unlikely to happen. Downside to that is some things don't work all the way in some roms. Ahh for the old days of my stock+ on my incredible. wait. Im still using it from back last summer and it works fine. TY wildstang!!

Hail Link2SD !!
Only way to move Apps to ExternalSD is using Link2SD for ICS / JB. I have done lot of research and there is no other way.However Link2SD does not move the data files and hence your internal memory will still be filled up as and when you install more apps but at slower rate.
If you want to install games like NFS-MW , Asphalt etc you have to use DirectoryBind tool to move the huge data files (More than 1.5 GB) to external card.
There is a nice tutorial how to use Link2SD here on the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326).
You can use ext4 partition as i found ext2 and ext3 were not being recognized by Link2SD. Just a pointer.
PS: ICS and above no longer support moving apps to SD card. If i am wrong experts correct me.
root is your best bet. check this link, use the script and follow the directions. this script worked wonders. my tab thinks i have 32 gb internal and 4gb sd.

Hello, everyone!
I am in a desperate need of help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I formatted my external SD Card as Internal Storage on my device running Android 6.0 as I though it would be pretty cool.
But then I realized that I wont be able to use my true Internal Storage for storage purposes. So, I just removed my SD Card from the Micro SD Card slot and switched ON my mobile to see if that fixed everything. But of course, it made it worse.
After that, I decided to wipe my ROM and just flash the same ROM again (it was CM 13). But that did not work too!
I flashed a lollipop ROM (CM 12.1) and that made everything come back to normal. But I still cannot access my internal storage in Marshmallow ROMS.
Please help somebody. I am not an expert in this stuff. This is the first mobile I have ever rooted or flashed a custom ROM on.
My mobile device - Lenovo K3 Note. (Lenovo K50A40)

Hello XDA community. I have an issue with my MicroSD card on any Android 10 custom ROMs. I can't use my MicroSD card as internal storage. On a fresh install of some Android 10 based ROM, when I try to format my SD card for use it as internal storage, seems everything goes normal but in a while, when I reboot my phone several times the SD card gets corrupt, the phone stops recognise the card and I can't use it any longer. This error happens to me on every Android 10 custom ROM that I try to install and use it. Even I tried to low-level format my card but nothing happens, the error is the same and due this I'm not able to use the latest versions of android 10 on my Moto Osprey device. Someone could help me please to fix this issue?
I habe the same problem. With LOS 14.1 it works, with LOS 17.1 it doesn't.

I've had SD cards as Internal but I don't like the system myself and I've even had them split with some of the SD card as Internal and some as Portable using,

My greetings to all,
I have a problem regarding the android 10 AOSP ROM on my xperia x (suzu).
I installed the ROM and everything is working fine if I can say it like that. Except my problem is the Sd card which is not supported. And he asks me to format it. What I did with a message which subsequently states that I can use my card now on the phone. Except that I still have nothing, not even a trace of the SD card in the file manager. Could you help me? I really like this ROM and would like to keep it. If there is a possible solution, please help me. I am attaching some screenshots to messages I got with the SD card. I also specify that to flash the ROM I have to send everything on the SD card and use TWRP to flash it. The SD card shows up well on my computer and the Oreo 8.0 Stock ROM on the phone itself. I have to format the SD card in Fat32, exFat, Ntfs but still nothing. I tell myself that maybe it is the ROM which does not accept the sd card. Ah yes I was going to forget, to flash the ROM, I used the kernel of android 9 pie and I don't have another SD card to check if it works or not with another. I also admit that I am not too good at handling. I just came across a tutorial here that I followed(rom-10-suzu-aosp-stable) . Thank you and sorry for taking so long.
