Maybe you can bring salvation
My externalexternal SD card storage is 128GB, and it's full with movies.
My internal SD card storage is 32GB, and 5GB are occupied by 2 thumbdata files!
How the hell I'm stopping my android from generating thumbdata from the external SD card?

What app generate that thumb? Is that from system or apps?

It's automatically generate by android system. If you have pictures, and other media file the system will automatically generate thumbnails files

You cannot do that, it's needed like a cache.

Hey guys,
Is there a way to install my games (gameloft) into the external sd card instead of the internal?
You can partitian your SD card to store apps on it and transfer them from your internal to external memory

If you're rooted you can go to Rom Manager and do it there... You can go into manage apps and move them to your MicroSD card... There's also an app called app2sd that can move them there as well
Okay, so I am just tired of the confusion in my head here.
I'm not a noob with rooting or anything of the sort, but I am not used to a phone with an internal SD card and an external SD card.
I am downloading a ROM to flash to my Galaxy S3 and it saves to the SD card... does that mean that it is saving to the phones memory and not the actual SD card I put into it?
There is an SD Card and an external SD card.
Which one is which? Haha.
And if I am right, like I think I am... the external SD card is the actual SD card I put into it and the SD Card is the phones internal memory.
How can I download from the internet and have it save onto the external SD?
AND...
When backing up a ROM before flashing a new one, do you recommend that I back up to SD card or external SD card?
And do you recommend I flash a ROM from the SD card or from the external SD card?
It seems that IF my external SD card somehow decided to corrupt while I was running off of a ROM that was installed via external SD card, that it wouldn't be able to boot after it corrupted.
Am I correct on all of this?
Sorry. Your answers are more than appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I have mine setup to download the roms, pictures, media or backups to the external sd card. In cwm I save a backup to both internal and external for the extra security. I just use external for everything because I have a 32gb sd card that has everything. The internal memory is just used for system stuff.

Perfect. That's absolutely everything I needed to know. I guess no matter what you download from the browser, it will download to the internal memory... but you can manually move it to the external SD with Root Browser.
Thank you man.

Go into the advanced settings option on your Browser and it gives you the option to have things downloaded to memory card or internal. Just change that to memory card and it will do it for you.

Can the shield make the micro SD card default storage as in installing apk to SD card and have obb large game data files on SD card instead of small internal storage?

The last update allows you to transfer game obb folders to sd but its still buggy and isn't working for every game. Another way would be to root the shield and modify the vold fstab which I don't know exactly how to do it.
Hello, is there any way to use the internal storage and the SD Card as internal storage at the same time? Thanks

Adopted storage

Yes, my mistake, I'm talking about adopted storage. My issue is that in my phone I have an option to move files to the internal storage despite the fact that I'm using adopted storage.

I'm sorry... What's the problem? When you adopt the storage, go to Settings - Storage and tap the 3 dot menu, migrate all to SD card.
You can always move apps back, but after migration then the SD card is the "primary" storage point. Just how it works.

What I mean is that despite the SD card being the primary storage, the phone gives me the option to move the files from the SD card to the internal storage, and I don't know if that means that I can use the internal storage for file storaging
In the first screenshot you can see that inside Settings>Storage>Internal Storage I have the option to migrate data from the SD card to the internal storage, and inside that option (second screenshot) it says that by doing that I can free 8.25 Gb by moving files from the SD card to the internal storage. That made me think that I can still use the internal storage for something more than apps

No... There are still 2 distinct areas, adopted storage doesn't work exactly the way you think. Sorry, just getting on a plane or I would explain more.

I have a One A9 running stock Android 7 original ROM. I am getting the low storage warning as I have used 15.5 out of 16gb.
I have installed a 32gb SD card and planned on formatting this as internal. I tried this but then noticed I cannot see the SD card when pluged into my laptop. It was only showing the internal with capacity of 16GB, not the 16+32gb as I had hoped.
I then formatted it back to portable and planned to move certain apps to SD. But in App settings, not a single app can be moved to the SD.
So I am stuck now. Anyone know how I can view the additional storage on my laptop if I format the SD as internal??
Or if that is not possible, how do I move apps to SD?
Anyone able to assist?

afaik, you can only move apps to the sd card when its formatted as internal storage, not portable.. Pre-installed apps can't be moved to the sd card.

Did you moved/migrated your files to the sd card after formatted as internal?

This is what I tried doing. When I connected the phone to my laptop via USB, windows explorer could not see the SD card. All it showed was the original internal memory.

maybe because you didn't migrated your existing data from your internal memory to the sd card ? When using the sd card as the internal memory you'll only see the sd card from your computer (I'm assuming the opposite is also true), read the help page linked above.
