Hi Forum,
I have a motorola defy green lens. I'm using CM 7.2 stable and the external memory is currently 8G.
I bought a 32G card and want to upgrade my phone. I wonder how I should do it peacefully. I mean no re-installation needed?
I think copy everything from the old card to the new one is good enough?
Thank you !
Just take care that applications installed on the external memory are in a hidden directory.
I moved them on internal memory, and then just copied the other data.

Hi xlyz.
Why didn't you just copy everything (including the hidden data) directly to the new card?
Questions go in the Q&A section
Afaik they ate not in a hidden directory, but in a sort of hidden partition, and having only few apps to me it was faster to move them back to main memory that investigate further.

Hi, I came from CM7.2, AURORA ICS 4.04 is very usable for everyday use, but i would use internal SD instead of external (slow). In CM there was an option in General, but here I don't find it. It mounts in /mnt/SDCard1, but only FilesManager see it... TIA!
Hi Blefish,
I use Aurora 2.04. I use both on phone but i can't use it on Windows, only use external sdcard on windows

You can't! That option is because you can only have one at a time...

I installed Aurora ICS 4.0.4 on my ideos x5. First i installed "aurora_5.0_experimantal" and then used "aurora_5.0_update20". Everything seems working good but when i remove my external sd card, my phone is not using internal memory for save data. it is asking external sd card to save any data. i.e save screenshot, save picture, recording etc. Did i do something wrong when i was installing rom?
Aurora doesn't support use the internal storage for system datas
Internal memory on our phone is not meant to be used that way. If you want to use it, the ROM you are using must have that functionality.

Hi there to all, this is my first post in this magnificent community so i hope not to post this in wrong place..........my question is related to Move to sdcard option in recents FW uptades for S4 (mine is i9500), anyone knows if this option is moving the whole selected app or just its data??? i was making some test moving a couple of apps (like games and other stuff) from internal memory to external sdcard (64gb) and it appears to move just the data, I think this way because after using this option, the memory space used in internal memory by the moved application has not been released, at least not more than a couple of MegaBytes, the same for external sdcard wich is not being loaded with full app size just a couple of MB too, however moved apps are not accesible when extSDcard is removed. So im a little confused how it works, so maybe u can help with this doubt......thanks in advance.

The option that is available in the stock firmware moves the app (not data) to the external SD. In the case of for example Real Racing this is only 9.45mb.. This of course is useless. The app FolderMount ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount) can also move the game data to your external SD which will be something like 2gb in the case of real racing! This does require Root though. FolderMount is already enough reason to root your Sgs4!
Me Gusta!

Are there also options which do not require root ? Reason is that my company blocks access to my work email account on rooted phones.
And I do not want to carry two phones around.
I tried it with contractkiller 2 but when done it want to download the obb again

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 ??

Check your other thread on the topic. An answer was posted there.
Hello friends! I'm sorry for my terrible english.
Since 4th december I had a problem with whatsapp. I always setted up SD Card instead of internal memory, but now something works bad.
If someone send me a media, like a picture or a video, I can see it one time, then it fail and it's impossible found it on my memory. I observed this situation and I made some tests:
- Removed and install whatsapp again, cleaning memory and whats app folders: it do the same;
- Moved whatsapp on internal memory: it works well, without any problem;
- So I made a new backup and moved again on external SD: it loss again media and it recover from 4th december backup;
- I went on my Google Drive, and clean all file about whatsapp backup, then I moved again whatsapp to internal memory, cleaning SD card, and I moved again it on SD Card >>>>> IT FIND AGAIN 4th december BACKUP and loss media after receiving them;
- Cleaning everything again end moving to internal memory, it work fine.
I think my P9 Lite needs to be resetted, because of a bugged or too dirt DALVIK CACHE (I'm not rooted), but I'd like to know if there are other chance to solve without make an Hard Reset.
PS: my wife has same phone and same configuration and she hasn't problem.
Thank you for early answer to all...
