[Q] how to mount/show extsd folder as internal storage - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I used foldermount without success. Running rooted stock. One Drive only sees internal storage and therefore only lets me backup internal storage files.

Have you tried SDFix from the play store? I believe google purposely changed the ability to read/write to the SD in KitKat.

internal storage??

What is the internal storage used for? seems apps are entirely installed on the SDcard by default which loads up my 2gb card. I know the system files are on the internal but other than that it has 6.5gb of free space.
I guess my question is, is there any way to split application files so that only my data for the applications are on the SD and the program files are on the internal?
My apps are installed to my internal memory. Also I have my pictures set to be saved to internal. There is also an option in the browser to store downloaded files onto internal memory. I'm running stock 2.1.

[Q] Wipe Internal Storage and External Storage

Hello Peeps,
I have a weird issue that just happened.
I flashed a ROM last night, I was running CleanRom and I flashed SmoothRom.
After I flashed, all my SD Card files were moved to Data\Media folder in the internal storage of my nexus.
I cut the files and placed them back into the SD Card external storage folder.
I rebooted and everything was fine.
I then rebooted into recovery and flashed SmoothRom again.
The Rom loaded and everything was fine.
I pulled up File Expert and all my SD card files were moved again to the Data\Media folder.
I opened Root Browser and tried to move all the files back to my SD card and they only copied about half of them.
Then I got a message saying my storage was full.
I checked and the system shows I have used all of my 16GB of storage.
I am not able to delete anything to free up space.
What will happen if I wipe external storage in TWRP?
What will happen if I wipe internal storage in TWRP?
Will I lose root?
Will I brick my device?
Please assist.
Thank you ,
You don't have external storage. All you have is the memory in the N7. You are duplicating files when you copy from data/media to sdcard. They share the same memory. You simply have multiple copies of the same files in different places on your internal memory.

Thank you for responding.
I realize that now, that is what caused me to eat up all my memory.
The memory was so full I could not do anything, could not delete or anything.
I have since fixed it.
Thank you again for responding.

[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.

lollipop 5.0.1 - how to grant apps a full access to SD card

Hi. I have downoaded an official lollipop update today 5.0.1. I thought that lollipop would automatically grant all my apps a full access to SD card.
Apps with the biggest amount of data in my device are (I have only 16 GB version of S4 so internal memory is very precious in this model):
1. colordictionary (takes 1,5 GB of internal memory - indexed dictionaries folder)
2. App backup and restore (takes 1,5 GB of internal memory - data backup folder)
3. google translator (takes 1 GB of internal memory - offline dictionaries)
Through application manager I have moved all those apps to SD card. The problem is that the main data folders of those apps are still in the internal memory.
I tried to move those data folders to SD card through My files but the apps were not able to access their folder on SD card.
my question:
How could I grant those apps to have a full acceess to my SD card? (without root of course)

I don't think you can without root. Google made lollipop so that you can't move apps to sd card as far as I know. Apps need the data to be on the internal memory. Otherwise they won't work. If you move the data., the app will try to download the data again, to the internal memory.
The only way is, if you're rooted, with apps like Folder Mount.

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.
