Emulate sdcard on Android Phone - Android General

Hi guys I have a Nubia z11, this phone is Dual Sim and i need of both sim slots populated in order to receive calls on both numbers. If the second slot is populated i lose the chance to insert the Sd card. I have an application that needs the sd card to work beacuse it search some files configuration in the sd. What can i do? Is there a possibility to emulate another slot card?
I also tried to decompile apk file of the application but i cant find any path to change in order to give the app a new path in the internal storage.
Thanks!

[Q] Newbie with new SD Card

Hi Guys
Well I successfully rooted and isntalled a new ROM thanks to thehelpful members on this site and the guides.
I have now purchased a 32GB Micro SD to replace the 4GB in the Desire.
My question is, how do I copy the old stuff to the new card? Just copy and paste or are there hidden files etc which will require a clone?
Will all my apps work as before after changing the card?
Hope to hear back from you soon
Fat32 or NTFS?
thanks for the feedback, will try this when I get home.
Wasnt aware of the fake cards on eBay till I bought one and eBay canceled the auction!
I have purchased this from Amazon, class 4 32Gb for £40, hope its a real one.
Thanks again
ok another stupid question.
If windoes cant see the drive, how do I get 4gb of data from my old card to my new card as I cant put them both in my phone at the same time??
So just to clarify
To install a new memory card:-
I need to install Android SDK
I also need Java SDK to run Android SDK
I then need ADB to run commands to access the android
and then something called Cyanogen?
damn windows is so eay compared to this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So now I have to get a new pc or partition this one to dual boot to enable me to run an OS I have never used in my life?
Is this really the only way to copy 2.5gb of files from one card to another?
1. Just do a nandroid + ext backup
2. Copy all files from SD to PC
3. Insert new card
4. Copy all files from PC to new card through recovery
5. Do a nand restore
Done.

Cheers for that, I have checked the nadroid back up docs and it says
"By fully back up, I don’t mean backing up just your address book or your emails, or your dog. I mean EVERYTHING that resides on your phone with the exception of the SD card"
So I can backup everything except my card which is what I wanted to back up in the first place?
Cant seem to find a way to back up the SD card to the PC to install a new SD card and restore from the pc
tried to create partition FAIL
tried to create partion in windows FAIL
tried to load with ROM manager get E: e signature verification failed
So am I to assume my brand new 32gb card is FUBAR?
Im a little confused on how to change SD Cards too.
My partner has a Legend with only 2gig card, will swap this for a 4gig SD Card.
Can I just exchange cards in the phone, format new card in phone and then copy all files from old card to new with my windows PC?
If the mobile creates the file system structure on the SD Card and I copy the files over to it is that fine?
Thanks

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Does anyone have the definitive answer on this please?
Even with copy and paste on the new card, you copy 3.6gb to the pc and then 400mb goes back the other way, all folders are EMPTY

[Q] Replacing a bigger micsoSD card

I plan to change my original microSD card by a bigger one (16/32GB). Can I just copy all the files and directories from the old card to the new one such that those apps (partially moved to SD already) will be functional?
Thanks.

Yes. Backup everything to your PC. Insert the new card in phone and switch on the phone. Unmount the card and format it, reboot and restore all files.
isit possible to see whether your device can support until 32gb ? cause i got galaxy s canot supoprt until 32gb. it will hang direct in window.

Cannot Access MicroSD Card within Windows

Hello,
I have a HTC A9 phone using Android 7.0. I replaced my SD Card with a larger one for more storage. I am trying to copy my music I downloaded over the years from the old SD Card onto my Windows 10 and 8 operating system. Both systems say the SD Card needs to be formated. The I receive an error "The file system cannot be recognized". I believe it might be a GPT file system, maybe I am wrong.
My question is, how can I access the SD Card and remove my music without losing it? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Peter Costa
Hello. Try to reinstall driver in pc. Or try paste card inserted in mobile. If you have SD card encryption contra changes in other devices, please turn off it Pc doesnt see you old card because SD card may be encrypted (visible only in your phone).
You are correct that the card is encrypted from being previously used by my HTC A9. Unfortunately, my phone had to be reset and the SD Card was replaced with a larger one. The encryption was not decrypted or my files removed. Now when I take out the new card and insert my old card, the phone only gives the option to format it. I have over 3000 full CD's on that encrypted card I can't get access to.
My brother helped me fix my phone but he did not know what was on the card. I guess no good deed goes unpunished. Just looking for a possible solution.
Maybe some type of data rescue or forensics company. Anyone have any ideas or maybe I am not understanding something. Any more advice.

How to move apps to SD Card

Hello, I just got a new A20 and I downloaded all the apps that I had on my previous phone to my new one. However for some reason, even though the phone does detect my SD Card (I can access the files there without problem) it doesn't let me move apps to the SD card. I always do this with every app I can to liberate space so I'd like to do it on my new phone too. Does anyone know if you have to activate it somewhere?
I guess you could try the " Force allow apps on external " in developer options.
You can install App2sd and link app data to sd card
Bouth answers are true ringers theres nothing technical to it i suggest a top grade sd card
Now i see what you ment its imposible dor some reason or other well not imposible but highly complicated to move apps and obb data to sd card

[Question] Using 2 SD cards in Android

Hi, all! I've been trying to figure out how to simultaneously use 2 SD cards on an Android device.
The device itself is FiiO M11 running Android 7 (non-rooted).
There are 2 SD cards used in the device and they are mounted as internal storage.
What's been established/discovered so far via ADB connection (I have attached the relevant screenshots):
both cards are successfully mounted on the system (on /mnt/expand/...) [screen1]
one of them is mounted by the system to /storage/emulated and can be accessed/written to by the apps on the device
it's possible to see the root contents of the 2nd SD card [screen2], but when trying to read 'media' folder (where I would assume the files are supposed to be stored) via ADB, I get 'Permission denied' error
So the main questions I have:
how to access/write to the 'media' folder on 2nd SD card via apps?
would a bind mount of 'media' to a location inside /storage/emulated solve the issue (access+permissions) and if yes, how to create it?
is there an Android app that can manage this or can it be done via ADB?
I'm aware that rooting might help solving the permission "ailments", but preferably I'd like to achieve this without rooting the device.
I might be developing PTSD from the way Android's been handling external storage and permissions over the years, so thanks in advance for any advice/help.
How'd you get the second SD card mounted? I'm running an RFinder B1+ (14) which has an emulated SD card and two SD card slots. What I've read is that since Honeycomb or so there's been a way to have apps scan a second physical SD card but they couldn't write to it.
I suspect Runbo or RFinder is going to use this to put stuff related to the RF module on that second SD card like DMR ID database, ROM updates, etc.
My second SD card needs wiped/restored but with it in the TF2 slot it doesn't show up at all. I'd like to use it for copying and backing up SD cards from the device itself.
