Hey everyone.
So it seems like its a never ending story with the big WhatsApp media folder on the internal storage... I tried the xposed module XInternalSD, FolderMount and did a loot of Google searching. But since EMUI is not a normal android these ways doesn't work for me. Did anybody make WhatsApp automatically store its media on the external SD Card? My Honor with EMUI 5.0.3 is unlocked, rooted, TWRP and xposed installed. I don't really know what Magisk is, seems like there is a module to solve this as well but I would like to be sure about this before touching my phones organs again...

Hi everybody, I have root access on my phone but I still can't install on SD. I've read that Kit Kat has a bug that impedes the correct use of the SD card. I tried a solution I've seen on this forum about installing big games on SD but I'd like to just transfer some apps I have like Chrome, for example. It takes up more than 100MB.
Do you know of any way of getting this done?
As u have root access, you can use app like link2sd, it can move any app to external sd, but use it wisely, moving some system app can cause FC..
Also u can use xposed framework and install the module named "kitkat sd card full access" which will solve the android 4.4.4's write issue to sd card..
I've installed the module and rebooted my phone but if I try to set the default install location to the SD card it doesn't change. I use ROM toolbox lite that gives you the possibility to change it using Apps2SD but I can only leave it to "Auto".
My phone is rooted and i have xposed installed im looking for information or if its even possible to have the system use the sd card as internal memory. As with most mid range phones ive hit the issue of running low on space even with most things disabled and what can be stored on external any help would be great its samsung galaxy j7 2016 marshmallow 6.01 root,xposed thanks, pappa

Search for "root essentials" app it has features to mount external sd as internal. But as its beta has some bugs.thnks
i dont know a way but if you want to transfer obb files (have a lot of high end games like asphalt 8,, fifa 16,15)
download öbb on scdard from playstore
activate in the framework
reboot done you can transfer your obb files in sdcard/Android/obb/
Does ne1 know how to move apps to and from sd card? The phone I'm using is a Huawei mate 9 running Android Nougat 7.0.
There are several apps in playstore like 'file to sd' or simular.
They seems capable of doing the job but personally I think that it is unnecessary because of de decent amount of memory available on the mate 9.

From Settings go to "Memory & Storage" , change the Default location to SD Card !
I have changed the default location to SD Card. Even then my mate 9 is installing apps in internal storage.
More over its not giving an option to move the apps to SD card on internal storage.
Sd card apps mate 9
No way possible to put apps on sd card on Huawei mate 9 I did look everywhere and finally went to the source called Huawei and they said no, due to privacy reasons, but there is a setting option on the settings on the mate 9 in developer setting to do so I tried that and nope still didn't work, kinda crazy Huawei doesn't allow this but other androids do factory unlocked... if you find a root let's us know..
Why ? Mate 9 has large internal memory and no need to transfer to SD card.
Why move them? Because it helps keep internal storage free for large video files, more pics, etc... If your bootloader is unlocked and you are rooted, you can run Titanium Backup from the play store and it has a batch function to move apps and data to the SD card. I have the Honor 5x which only has 16gb of internal storage. This is how I move all my apps to the SD card. If your BL is not unlocked and you are not rooted, have a poke around the play store, there are plenty of apps to move stuff
I was wondering if anyone has been able to mount their SD card as internal (adoptable) storage on 7.0 (Nougat) and moved WhatsApp so the media folder is on the SD card?
I want to do this cause the S7 only has 32 GB of internal storage and I get so many pictures/videos in WhatsApp that every day I have to delete media off the internal storage.
I tried that developer mode option to allow all apps to move to SD and that let me move the WhatsApp app to SD but it kept the media folder on the internal storage.

Apparently it isn't possible on Nougat.

Found a solution myself
Another alternative to consider is an Xposed module called XInternalSD. Provided your S7 has root access and you've flashed the latest unofficial Xposed Framework compatible with Nougat, you'll be able to install apps like WhatsApp onto your SD card with ease, as well as store the .obb files of games. However, at the present time having Xposed Framework installed means that your phone will not pass Google SafetyNet, thus you'll lose access to Android Pay and the ability to download certain apps from the Play Store e.g. Super Mario Run & Fire Emblem Heroes. Magisk is currently unable to hide the presence of Xposed.
Hi, I have a Huawei P8 lite. I'm having some issues with the SD card on my device. I have rooted the phone and installed an unofficial build of Lineage OS 14.1. Some time ago, I started to have troubles with apps that want to write to SD card. Note that this didn't happen before. My phone seems to be unable to properly give write permissions on the SD card to apps. You know how you need to "Select SD card" on apps in order to give permission? Well, that window doesn't pop up at all on my device, therefore I can't give permissions to apps. Whenever an app tries to write to it, it freezes and then crashes. I've tried many different file explorers and all of them crash when writing to the SD card. Read access is fine, music apps are able to see and reproduce my music which is stored there. I haven't found much info on the topic, I modified the "permissions.xml" file that you can find on the system partition to no avail. This doesn't happen with my PC. My PC is able to read and write to the SD card both inside and outside the phone. Any clues on what I might do?
