I wanted to run Kodi 17.6 x 64 bit but there was not enough room. I do use a 'Adodpted' MicroSD Card 50/50'. A 32gb card partitioned..
" [MODULE][Terminal] Debloater v13.5 - Debloat Systemlessly"https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-terminal-debloater-debloat-t3584163 worked very well and was easier than using a file manager to delete the files. The deleted can be restored.
Kodi can now work.

I have an HTC Desire (CellSouth/Cspire bravoc) and only have 20 MB of internal space with ton of SD space left. Well, I want to install a game that is 32 MB. When the program installs directly to SD, it'll only take up 4 MB internally. But, if I don't have the 32 on the internal, it won't even download. I had this problem in the past with Paradise Island. Here are the tedious steps I've been performing to even update PI which is 25 MB.
1. I have 20 MB left, so I use Titanium Backup to backup/delete apps to free up at least 6 MB for a total of 26 MB free.
2. Download Paradise Island's update. It installs directly to SD card, so when the install is complete, I'll still have 26 MB space left.
3. Reinstall the backed-up apps.
This process is cumbersome, so I was wondering if there was a way to download the APK directly to the SD card for install. I'm NOT looking to "move" the app to SD after the app has been downloaded and installed so no one-liner suggestions for App2SD or using ADB setInstallLocation 2.
If this is possible, can you give me the exact steps? If it is not possible, is there a way to get the APK directly from the Android Market, then onto SD card so I can use File Expert to install? For all intents and purposes, I am S-OFF and am temp-rooted using Visionary+ on Froyo.
Thanks!
With the lack of apps2sd, my Sero 7 Pro was quickly running out of internal memory. I used ES File Explorer to look around in my device to see if I could delete anything. What I found was everything I downloaded or installed was being saved in a folder called Downloads on my internal card. I created a download folder on my external card and moved all the files. I went from about 500MB free internal to about 3GB free internal.
Now, my question, is there a setting somewhere that will make all downloads default to the external card?

I went to Wal-Mart and picked up a 64GB SD card. I just purchased the tablet yesterday and rooted it using towelroot but that's all I've done. I put the SD card in and it's recognized and showing the correct available space. I'm able to create a file using ESFile explorer but I can't do anything with it. I tried a couple torrent clients to download files to the SD card and it keeps saying unable to write to folder or that it's write protected. When in file explorer I can create a file and under properties it does show it's able to be written to. I also have downloaded and tried the kitkat SD card fix app. I've gotten pretty frustrated with it so just did a complete factory reset and going to start from scratch. I was able to move apps to SD card using an app but that's all I could do. I'd really like to put any/all downloaded apps and files on the SD card since I only have a 16GB version.
Any ideas what I can do?

Well just an update after doing a factory reset everything seems to work now, of course i get to download everything again. I think it might have had something to do with the OTA update. After doing the factory reset it kept the update. Now I can freely move to and from the SD card so all is good.
FYI, since you are rooted I would suggest installing the Xposed Framework and then install the "HandleExternalStorage" module, the KitKat update cripples external SD card access so file managers, emulators, and the like can no longer write to the SD card. Installing this module re-enables external SD card read/write access for all applications, it is not the device. There is also an app on the Play Store call 'SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD' which accomplishes the same thing, however the Xposed module is much safer as it can be enabled and disabled at will. Simply install the module, enable it, and that's it.
Since updating to 5.1 (latest BlissPop ROM) from 4.4, I've run into a lot of issues with my external SD card (SanDisk 64GB Ultra, also tried 64GB Extreme).
Unable to install apps from apk/amazon app store if they have permissions for the SD card
Unable to move apps to SD under Manage Apps
Inconsistent write ability to SD.
After a lot of googling, I've seen that there's the issue with platform.xml (adding media_rw to WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE), that the SD card needs to be formatted as NTFS and/or renamed. I've tried these without success. I can use Folder Mount to move app files but this doesn't fix the installing apps from the amazon store. I can unmount the sdcard, install and then remount but this is a bit ridiculous.
Are there any solutions that allow the external SD to work consistently and without constant hassle? I rely quite heavily on the additional storage.
Thanks,

I had the same problem with a SD card from Sandisk 64 GB with my Shield Tablet on lollipop. She worked flawessly and a day, I wasn't able to write on it sometimes, some files had disapear, I couldn't mount.... Check your SD card first. Mine was HS. And be aware to make it writable, lollipop don't allow permissions. You must be rooted for that.

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean. Or how to verify the card is writable. I can write to it using a file explorer with root access, but that's about it.
Hi folks! I want to share a possible fix that i found for issues like: Spotify cant store on SD card, other apps cant use or save in SD card, you cant create/delete/manage a folder inside Android/data or obb in SD card, and others.
1. Flash your rom, stock or CM (with or without gapps).
2. Install SuperSU if rom doesnt have (using 2.68 beta here).
3. Enable root for apps (also I enabled for ADB and App).
4. Install FX Explorer + FX Root Addon (disponible in Play Store).
5. Open your SD Card Storage in FX.
6a. Look for a option in "..." called "Enable Write Access" and enable it.
6b. If your ROM comes with it enabled, disable and enable again (AICP comes enabled but doesnt work).
7. Your SD Card is OK to be used by other apps. You can, for example, install Spotify now and the app will download content in your external SD.
I tested this thing in many roms, like AICP (using it by now), crDroid, the Squid's CM13, Blizz and Motorola Stock 6.0. Worked flawless with all.
Obs: Sorry for bad english
Spotify can store on SD card since version 4.8 - if you have the removable storage set under the 6.0+ Stock/ROM. Screenshot of the option.
