Default Storage Help - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I used ADB in my android (Galaxy S4 Snapdragon) to set the default storage as the external sd card [2]. After set it I also checked the default location using get-install-location to see if the install location is set to the external sd card but even doing all the process the apps keep getting installed in the internal storage.
Any solution?
Sorry for the bad english.

[Q] sd card as default memory

hi guys i have recently bought a 64gb sd card for my gt-i9505. what can i do to make the sd card my external source of storage, so that way everything such as music, pics, apps etc will save to the card by default instead of the internal storage? my phone is also rooted if that helps.
xposed has a module that forces camera app to store everything on external sd.
In the most browsers you can set your download path (set it to /sdcard1/downloads)
If you have the music/video/picture files, just move them to your sd card.
But for Images Dude, i9505 by default stores them to external SD card. But if you see they are going to Internal storage then you can define the path in setting of camera app. for other apps there are also options to save the files on internal storage or external.

How to extend internal storage

Hello everyone, I would like to extend my internal storage. I am using Android M on my XT1562.
I tried to use my SD card has an internal storage but unfortunately it stops formatting at 30%. After a reboot the SD card is shown as internal storage but if I open ES file explorer for example the storage capacity is still 10gb (which is the capacity of the internal storage). So I will have to use it as an external storage as before.
Is there any option to change for example the download folder/the install folder for new apps to the external SD card? Or do I need to root the phone?
Another question is if I could use my SD card as internal storage how about transferring files to my PC? How does that work?

Once you format your SD card as internal storage, it can not be seen in any file manager. Also it cannot be seen on pc. Although you can move data through settings which shows your internal and SD card storage but you can only view it through by going to settings.
You cannot the change the location of apps to be installed in Android 6.0

Once you have set the SD card to internal any apps that you install that could previously be moved to the SD card will install to the SD card, any apps that could not be previously install to the SD card will install on the internal memory.

Need some help with changing the storage. please and thank you.

I am trying to switch the Default storage from the main memory to an sd card. Not just for downloading stuff but to the point where all apps and data run off the sd card. 8GB of default memory just isnt enough so if any help could be rendered i thank you.
Changing default storage for storing apps and files is not an implemented feature to Samsung devices. But you can still move the apps and files to your SD card manually.
(And if there is a Samsung device that can change default storage, then it's a lucky device.)

Setting default storage location to SD card AND encrypting SD card

Hi all,
This problem is not specific to the P9 Lite but rather to Nougat in general, but htis is what I have, here I will ask.
Problem:
1) I want to set the default storage location to SD card, so that chrome and all other apps will save downloads to the SD card by default
2) I ABSOLUTELY want the SD card encrypted
3) These 2 options: set default storage location: SD card, and set SD Card passwords seem mutually exclusive. I can either enable one or the other (or, more plainly, encrypting the SD card makes the set default storage location go away from Memory&storage)
Is there a way to set the default storage location manually (using shell, adb, whatever? Is there any pertinent reason why the default storage location cannot be on an encrypted drive? Will doing this dissolve reality as we know it?
PS. Yes, I'd much rather actually use the SD card as adopted storage, unfortunately I read that:
Warning: File-based encryption cannot currently be used together with adoptable storage. On devices using file-based encryption, new storage media (such as an SD card) must be used as traditional storage.
