I have been lloking for a way to move my app data from internal to external card as i enjoy playing hd games which commonly is 1.5 gb and in few games only the internal storage get fileed up.
So i have found a perfect way for moving large game datas to external card on my zl.
Note- Tried it on xperia zl stock rom (deodex) & Existenz rom. Don't Know about other roms
So please try it on your own as i am not responsible if anything goes wrong.
Method-
1. First Install a remount reboot fix using this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317432
2. After successfully completing the fix. Install The following app from play store . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount
After Completing the above method in foldermount app choose the app analyzer option and move the apps in sd card.
Important - After moving the app data go to the application agagin and click on the pin in front of the app.
Please note it is not my work and found it on internet after a long time so just want to share.
Please click on thanks if helped in anyway.
Update v5.3.1316M of Google Play Music introduced using external storage for your music data. You go into Settings > Downloading > Storage Location and it will show external storage if you have it. It works on many devices with SD card slots like the S4.
I have a USB key over OTG with my Nexus. Using Stickmount or the latest ES File Explorer; the key mounts, I see it at /data/media/0/usbStorage/sda1/, /sdcard/usbStorage/sda1 and /storage/sda1, I can read and write files, it doesn't show up under Settings > Storage, and I can't select it in Google Play Music. I'm assuming something like the Meenova would show the exact same issue.
Anyone know why this is a Nexus issue? Anyone know where the sdcard is mounted on working devices? Has anyone used a ROM that works with Google Music and OTG?
I believe devices that come with SD cards have other settings changed in their version to indicate there is a space for external storage while our device just has software or custom roms that mount these devices. settings like that won't work for play music, camera etc
hello
i have a htc m8 runing viper one 4.1 rom s off rooted
when i upgrade the rom to android 5 i lose the Ability to save on the internal memory of the phone
i get an error thet i dont have permission to the memory and its for read only
i can install from the store and from the drive
but cant use the camera its not save the photo not cant transfer from computer and Download in the phone Not possible
How do I fix the permissions so I can save on the device again
I do not have an external memory card in the device
Hi there,
My knowledge about all this is very short so accept my apologies if I say something wrong.
The thing is that I have rooted my Sony Xperia Xa1 ultra G3221 Android 8,0,0 but I can't save directly my zips backups or apks from Titanium or any kind of apk extractor (there's one which saves me some apps) into the external memory
As far as I know this is an issue relationed with write external storage permissions and I also read that Sony Xperia devices can't work with the external SD card like if it were internal memory, as other brands do...
Can someone help me please to get this even if it means overwrite the source data?
Thanks a lot
Hey, hi again
I'm realizing now that the bind link2sd does for data doesn't work either. At first I thought it was because apps need it this way to work properly but I'm realizing now that it's just the same issue. I use many apps to make photo and video editions, it would be very important to me to get apps could write normally in the external storage. Id feel very thankful about some help.
Thank you
With Android 10 (or a 3rd party OS based on it) which I was following this guide for (unable to post link):
install-android-10-on-motorola-moto-g5-lineageos-17-1-how-to-guide
I just wanted to know if it allows you to move apps to external storage, because right now; they install whereever they want, and it seems like most prefer internal storage. I have obviously got an microSD card (a sandisk extreme pro 128GB with 90MB/s write in crystal disk mark). The small internal storage for me is the only issue I have which would be fixed with a way to choose default storage location (there is another issue of it not being clear if the place you want to save a file in on internal or external storage). Also I do have the SD card configured as internal storage.
I just installed an app to record voice calls (automatic call recorder), which has installed on the internal storage. I recorded a message from my three mobile top up but the recording was very difficult to understand even when played back at 70% volume on my PC headphones. I need it because I'm dealing with a company called repairtech.co.uk who told me that the reason they returned my monitor with a cracked screen was because I packed it incorrectly in the provided box (instead of packing material there are some hooks which suspend the monitor in the box with minimal aircushions). Since it was an out of warranty repair, I paid £80 for the evaluation that I needed to fork out for a completely new screen. I only found out about the crack when I overheard a conversation being made on my behalf and checked the box.
I can't do this upgrade right now because I need to have access to my bank account while I try to buy a new GPU which is available from tomorrow.
Edit:
Unlocked bootloader
Fastboot drivers installed on PC
I just tried but could not find a sticky or some such to get these pre-requisites.
Format sd card as internal storage & all data will be stored there
Advantages - more internal storage
Disadvantages - will only work on the device that formatted it as internal. You can't remove it & put it in another device without formatting it. Same for for if you want to change roms potentially.
A fast sd card is also required
Apps can't be "moved" to external storage (from android 5) in the way you are suggesting. Some apps like widgets will even break if you tried
Call recording works - you shouldn't need a 3rd party app on some roms as you can just hit record from the dialer but this is rom dependant.
Try using another dialer that can record or try on lineage mint in the Dev section - you may be using a very old rom if you are following some random guide you found on the net

I remember moving kindle from internal to external, this is on Android 8.1. I have used two SD cards and I selected the option to format as internal storage both times.
s!AhCKpFOJjf6jgmryXVi1jRNlp1Av?e=haNOnt <<< one drive link
Is this showing the correct screen for a internally formatted SD card? It does have some apps on it including kindle, but as I said it seems to decide for itself wether it will install on the sd card or not. There is no raid like pool of storage as you can see from the 2nd screenshot.
Will the moto g5 recieve a 3rd party upgrade to Android 11?

You can't "move" apps natively to sd card - it will break many apps
Can't see screenshots as you haven't linked correctly - post full link (put spaces in address if you can't post links)
It is also up to the app where it installs in the Manifest of the app - you may find the apk is installed on internal and the data is on the sdcard
Data will be in the android/data and android/obb folder
When sdcard is formatted as internal you will see the total size of internal storage has increased
If you remove the sdcard you may find some apps will no longer function correctly so you will know its on sdcard
Also you should have selected to transfer data to sdcard when you first format it as internal

Its just apps on the sd card. When I first installed the card, I had just performed a phone reset so there were not an third party apps installed yet.

Nothing wrong with those screenshots
Unfortunately this is just how android works and your device looks to be functioning correctly
If you are rooted you can use other methods to move apps to sdcard eg link2sd (requires sdcard with a second ext4 partition) but the more apps you symlink to sdcard the slower your phone may become. Make sure you link & not forcefully move as some apps like widgets will not function if forcefully moved and not symlinked to sdcard
Also note I haven't used this app in about 10years so no idea if it still functions on latest versions of android as it hasn't been updated in a few years
You will have to Google other root methods
