Default memory card contents

Hey guys,
I accidentally removed the contents of my memory card along with the final fantasy demo video. Is there any way to get it back? If anybody would be kind enough to point me to a link or upload it somewhere. Thanks

dunno about getting it back
but you can always make a fresh formatted sd card within the settings

Download astro file manager.

You could install then move to sd, why not?
Carefully crafted on my Galaxy Note, for your eyes only

Move to SD only moves to the internal SD. OP wants the choice to move to external

Unable to back up on ExtSdcard

Hi guys,
I was trying to back up my nova feature to my SD card and for x reason it didn't work. Saving to internal storage work but that would be useless when wiping for a new ROM, I noticed I can't transfer files from my device too ( internal to SD gotta be done by computer). SD card is a 32gb Kingston
Thanks

Hi There
Google has blocked the permission to write to sd card.
easiser solution is download SDFIX from google play.
root required.

Any idea why did they did? I'll try it, thanks

Google seems take it as a security issue.
It happens kk4.4 or later.

Use Samsung's own app for file moving, worked for me with with multimedia files.

Save it to phone memory then transfer to sd card using my files app.

SDFix definitely fixes the issue if you are rooted. Android 4.4 changes the stock permissions, so apps only have read/write permissions to folders that they create and can't write to folders created manually or by other apps. SDFix restores permissions to how they were prior to 4.4. Its less secure, but it allows programs like Titanium Backup to function again.

I have no problems with nova backup to sd on my s4,and its on 4.4 too

Right now there isn't a way to change the folder where the Nova backups are stored (/sdcard/data/com.teslacoilsw.launcher/backup). What you can do next time is make your backup and then copy it to your SD card or PC. When you do your next reset you can copy that backup file back to where it's expected to be and be back in business. Kind of poor coding that you can't just save it to your SD in the first place...

Omega ROM doesn't have that glitch.

An app called File expert can read/write to external xd card without root. They have sorted this issue out

Sdfix did work guys. I used it to backup Nova setting on ExtSd

[Q] Apps to SD in v500 kitkat

I just got my v500 and rooted/flashed kitkat (Mahdi Rom) and I was wondering if anyone figured out a way to get apps to SD on the device. I tried the kitkat SD fixer first. When that didn't work, I tried link2sd, which despite trying multiple different file systems, I could not get to work completely (wanted to move app as well as app data). Then I tried foldermount, which works for individual files/folders, but when I try to move android data/off it just tells me to use a sub-directory.
So I was just looking here to see if anyone has managed to do it and how.
Thanks
EDIT: reposted in Q&A as this is the wrong place. Sorry folks

You're trying to actually install apps on your sd card, not just save space on your internal? I don't know that any apps still give that ability? I too use folder mount to save space for my big game files but the app itself is still installed to the internal.

You don't have a problem with the internal memory. You're simply encountering a normal occurrence, as not every app supports moving its data to the MicroSD card. Since your list of apps doesn't support being moved to the MicroSD the only way to clear storage is to uninstall the apps. You may of course try apps to SD card options, but I'm not sure how well they will work on Android 5.x.

thanks bro
even there's no way to force move this apps ?
i can't even make any update to my apps via store :crying:

To move the app data from internal storage would be to break the app itself. You don't want that.
Humor me here. Are you rooted, and are you using a custom recovery? If you are, which recovery?

at the first place i want to restore my space back
yeah , my phone is rooted and am using omega v28 5.0.1 rom
with custom recovery , TWRP 2.8.7.0 touch recovery

I just wanted to make sure you weren't using Clockworkmod or Philz, as those are notorious for eating internal storage. If you want to restore the lost space, you have to uninstall the apps. It's either that or you learn to live with it until Android 6.0 custom ROMs are made available for your device. Android 6.0 allows you to merge internal and external storage so that Android sees the two as a single volume, and that definitely would eliminate your problem.

Oh dear oh dear
ok thanks bro any way , i will try to live with it

Until it happen
Is there anyway to make Google play download / update to the sd card not the internal ??
