Hello,
I have been a happy user of a Huawei P9 Lite with Revolution ROM. However, I just got a new Galaxy S7; unfortunately, Revolution ROM is not available for that device.
What custom ROM do you suggest I get for the S7, given that I have the following very specific needs:?
1. I need to access the external SD card in both Read and Write mode (R/W).
2. I need to password-protect / encrypt the external SD card.
3. I need to partially install or at least be able to mode some apps' data to the external SD Card.
Items (1) and (2) are the most critical.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for reading!
No one?

Is it possible to root my S4 mini without an SD Card?

I dont own your device but generally speaking, it should be possible. but if you want a custom rom, you'll need an external space to put your system image.
it should be possible to do that with adb by sending the files directly into the phone with the recovery menu, you should check the tutorials for that
I've been looking and looking and couldnt find the answers. Please someone help
Some more information is needed to better assist you. What Device ? Rooted, or Non-Rooted ? What Rom ? What Android version ? What Recovery ?

EDIT:
You should be able to go to : Menu - Settings - Application manager . Then move the Apps to the SD Card manually. You can also use Titanium Backup to move the current apps, and data to the SD Card. But for the future you can use ROM Toolbox to make sure the apps install to the external SD. Finally you can check out THIS thread that discusses some of the same things you asking. Although the OP is trying to accomplish the opposite.
Hi everyone,
Like many people, I am having trouble making my external SD card play nice with my Moto G. I have read extensively through the forums and applied all the fixes I could identify (more detail below); however I haven't yet been able to fix the problem.
Specifically, when I first format the card, I can read and write to it; however after a short period of time (anywhere between 24 hours and 5 minutes), the card can no longer be written to.
For example, when I first format the SD card, I am able to do a full Titanium Backup to it However, after a short period of time, I begin to get an "insufficient space" error whenever I try another backup (which indicates that the card has become unwriteable).
First, some basic details:
SD Card
32GB Class 4
Phone
Moto G 4G (xt1039 peregrine)
Firmware - Stock Kit Kat 4.4.4.
Rooted with Busybox and Xposed installed.
Custom Recovery (TWRP 2.8.3.0).
I have already tried the following fixes, none of which seems to provide a permanent solution:
the SDFix App (apologies, can't yet post links).
manually editing the platform.xml file (replicates what the SD Fix app does)
Falseclock's SD Card fix Xposed app.
Some further info:
- I have tried formatting the card both directly through the stock firmware, as well as via TWRP. When I format using TWRP (in FAT32), the write access seems to last slightly longer (although this may have been for other reasons, I'm not sure).
I'd greatly appreciate any advice anyone has on possible further solutions! I would prefer to keep using stock firmware, if possible.
Thanks,
Ben
An additional issue to the above: on my most recent attempts to format the SD card, I have found that when I reboot the phone, the SD card goes from FAT32 to RAW (meaning that the phone now thinks the card is "blank" and can no longer read it).
Is this part of the Kit Kat SD card issue, or do I have a faulty card??
hello Guys!
I am using a Karbonn Titanium S5 plus and its specs are pretty good for me. The only issue I have is that the internal memory is low and so I was thinking maybe somehow I can install my custom ROM on my 16Gb External SD Card. Well the question is clear I hope... Do I have any option to do this ?? If yes then then any guidance would be a great help.
*** P.S. : I thought of changing the updater-script file, the part where the where the mount points are mentioned. i thought of changing those points to the external sd card but then without proper knowledge I backed off and thought to put the question here.
:fingers-crossed:
Hi xda, thanks for being here for us wee users: WE KNOW YE ARE GODS:good::
My question is do i have to root my new Amp2 6.0.1 Marshmallow, in order to utilize the Samsung External sd card i bought for it ? The reason I ask is that the Amp2 would not recognize a Sandisk 16gb ext.sd, b/c 'no second partition,' NOR will it allow use of the REQUIRED Samsung ext sd, for the same reason, 'no second partition.' Link2SD is what i purchased for my S3, & it cannot move my apps for lack of two primary partitions. &, APARTED does not work without root.:crying: HELP PLEASE, as i don't really WANT root, since 'flashify' destroyed my S3. Thanks for REPLY.
Hi, I am no expert on this and I dont have an amp2 but I do have a samsung on5 from metropcs/tmobile which I believe to be equivalent maybe even the same just rebranded.
On the on5 you must format the ext sd card as internal storage not portable/media. This might have to be done on a pc. Then you must mount
the ext sd card as internal storage and make it adoptable. Samsung blocked this feature on their phones. This allows the phone's os to use the ext sd card for apps etc. I used an app called root essentials to do these steps. Here is an article that describes the issue further. What seems to work is further down where the author of root essentials describes the unrooted process which requires the use of adb. http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...sd-card-as-internal-storage-using-marshmallow
If u get it working , u will have to regularly clean cache and move apps and updates to sd. I use the app2sd tool in a package called android assistant to do the moves.
Your results may vary.
Finally, how much free internal storage do u have now on your amp2? I would like to compare to my on5.
Good luck!
