I imagine ROOT privileges are needed..right?
Any way to move something to the external sd-card so to increase internal sd-card space?
Not spelling about the camera storage folder, but to some substantial app stuff..
Thanks!

I think it's obvious that an app called "Root Essentials" needs root permissions lol.
I don't use anymore external sd's in my S8 but in S5 I used to go in App Settings in Settings app and move the apps I wanted to SD Card

That was something ironic I was saying
About moving to sd-card some apps, does it really give more space to internal sd-card?
What I mean...does it completely move the app, or just copy the app to external sd-card and then start using it from that destination, leaving in the internal sd-card some corpse of the old app destination?
A good explanation in "how moving to external sd-card works in details" would be appreciated
Thanks!

IN FACT IT HELP YOU TO CONVERT YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE TO >> SYSTEM STORAGE AND YOUR SD-CARD TO>> INTERNAL STORAGE BUT be aware that your phone will become slower after installing more than 10 apps ...
in my case after converting my 128Go SD-card into internal storage, 32go became invisible ( converted to system storage) and when i check storage size i only see 128go ( using setting or ES explorer)...
now im using Sd card only as external ( for photos + games data) and 32go for apps they are more faster and reactive ... finnally i dont recommand You to anable adoptable storage . bad idea

Yes, I've spoke with some guys at a shop and it's a bad idea.
Regarding cleaning the internal memory once it's full...only way are constant wipe-to-factory??
In case, any strong and effective way to backup apps with their data??
Thanks!

It doesn't seam to work for me for backing up app data.
Helium works, but dunno if still works on last Android. Was able to do it from Galazy S7 to S8 with Nougat. Never tried with Oreo.

I have tried it on S7 and S8 with Nougat and it worked.
Actually I have Oreo now on my actual S8 and I tried one but with no connection success, but I might have some Samsung drivers problems as I remember happening the same with Nougat at the beginning.
Do you know if with Oreo should still work??

You don't. Ability to move apps to external sd was disabled with ICS release. There are ways to trick it but not worth the hassle. I have 190 apps on my internal with no problems. I have 64 Class 10 external and use it for everything except apps.

Directory bind. It allows you to offload app data onto your external memory. It is only ideal for things like big games (gameloft). Can't imagine what else you'd want to offload though other than big games.

Those work better for a permanent solution for the GS3. I use Directory Bind for my Nexus 7 since I can't keep my USB OTG flash drive plugged in all the time, it's super easy to reapply the settings.

I'm not really familiar with that device but on most you can grab App2Sd from Google Play and it's self explanatory from there, but some devices (like mine) don't et you move apps to the SD Card, but you can move everything else there
And I'm no moderator, but I'm not so sure this isn't the right section for your question, I think it belongs in Q and A

After rooting you can use Directory Bind to link your internal/external storage, but that's not truly moving them to the SD Card, but I think it's the closest you can get. I don't bother with it, I just move all my big files to my SD Card so I have space for my APK's on my internal storage

without rooting u cant have memory swap..root ur grand and install init.d support. and reboot then install this http://d-h.st/AGR and gain reboot. this will convert external memory to internal and internal to external automatically.
use http://galaxygrandcenter.blogspot.in/2013/03/warning-it-will-void-your-warranty-and.html to root.
and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39510406&postcount=1 to add init.d

Thank you sir for the help, I have succesfully rooted my phone throught that guide,though there was a little trouble geeting the Clock Work Mode Recovery but finally got it.
Sir can you tell me the actual usage of CWM, can i get backup of my present status through this mode or do i need to use some app like Titanium Backup pro for that purpose and what info would actually be backed up, like would it store info of the present firmware and is the backup point created in the internal memory or the sd card.
Also sir can you please tell me that if I swap my 32gb ext sd card with 4gb internal memory then when I want to get my phone back to normal mode then how am I gonna do so, I mean the sd card would have let's say some 25gb apps and I want to put the phone back to normal, I mean unswap it then how would it be possible as my internal memory would be only 4 gb, will I have to delete apps or use some recovery option, please make that clear, thank you sir for all your help.

I came across this today and thought I'd share it. Let me know what you think guys.......
Ooops! Check out thedroidguy(dot)com. I can't post links yet!
The app is called AppMgr Pro III and the article was written yesterday!
Not working. Please test before post it.
No.
Does not work.
The old name is app2sd.
It is nothing more than a more convenient interface for the normal move to SD feature on android.
For Samsung devices, it will only move to internal SD.
You will need root access to deal with such things properly to the external SD.
Search for link2sd or FolderMount instead, or flash some mod that switches the internal and external SD.

With the S3 there was a mod, that the micro sd became the "internal" memory and vice versa. Perhaps we will see this for the S4 as well

I hate that Samsung does this crap forcing you to buy the more expensive phone because you can't install apps on the SD card, it's ridiculous to sell several storage options when you can expand with your SD card anyway, it's also ridiculous that you have 9GB available from 16GB.

There is a working solution which will also update the apps directly on the SD card. Since I can't post links yet the app is called 'FolderMount' search for a thread called '[How to] Moving Apps to SD Card' by Eambo.
I am frustrate that external SD card just read only mode in Samsung SII Plus. Due to not more than 4G memory of internal storage only. I want to spare up more space through App 2 SD the information, photo, media and installed APP to external SD card only. Also, it cannot being usb mode as liked with SII before. How could I solve it? Anyway methods might share? Thank you very much.:laugh:

Format the sdcard in fat32. Maybe your sd is 64GB exFat that needs a special kernel support

Thank you for your reply. The volume of my SD card is 16GB in FAT32 format. Mentioned problems may include with the right of permission to beyond read only mode and setting of android system. Because the photo records is taken by internal machine that can be set to store in external SD card. This kinds of problem have already occurred in Samsung several series machine. Meanwhile, this is a complicated problem beyond my limited knowledge. Anyway, thank a lots:laugh:
Root your phone.
Install Folder Mount.
Move everything to SD.

Thank you for reply. I have rooted my machine already and trying this right now. But would like to know that except this method. Any method could save data (i.e. photos, installed app and media) to external SD card freely? Just like using of App 2 SD. And then, any method to get the right of permission to beyond read only mode and setting of android system? I would like to fix this problem completely and let it return to S II mode. Anyway thank you very much :laugh:
For the moment i don't think there is a way to move apps to SD. Only link 2 sd
Sent from my GT-I9105P Hypervitaminized
Well Folder Mount isn't free.
And Apps to SD didn't work for me. Neither did Link 2 Sd work until I created a partition on my SD card (later I removed the partition as I didn't want to spoil my new card and its performance).
You can install apps on internal and then later on move it freely to SD card. It would move all data folder.
I'm doing this and I have rooted phone with stock rom.

Well tap on the (+) button and you will have a window asking for
1. Folder name to be kept.
2. files to be moved.
3.where the files should be.
Select the following and press mount. It will start moving files and then mount.
Hi all.. anyone knows which app i can use to move the applications from internal to sd all together...
Such a pain to check if every other app supports the sd move or not...
If there is another thread, pls give the link.. will remove this one..

I don't think there is a way to do it without root permission. You have to move one by one, using android app settings.

Open up settings, scroll down to applications, click application manager then select an app. It will say storage and you click on that and the next screen will say internal and change underneath it. Not all apps can be moved though. Most apps cannot be moved to SD card for some reason.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd
This app directly shows a list of movable apps.
But, the function will move them to your internal sdcard not to the real sdcard. So you wouldn't get any free storage unless you do the adoptable storage thing through shell and migrate the internal sdcard data to the adoptable storage.
Edit: I guess you could move them to the external too. Didn't know that.
