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 ??

Hi All
I have a Samsung i9505 and just moved to Resurrection Remix 5.6.2 ROM using marshmallow and am having issues with writing to the SD card with 3rd party apps.
I have used the ES Explorer fix and mount R/W and enabled root explorer however my 3rd party app still shows as read only. The app is doggcatcher. Whats odd I found an article to sort this problem out for Titanium backup and that worked fine. Also my camera picture and whatsapp all get saved to the SD card without issue.
In the end I have told doggcatcher to use my internal memory but that is quickly filling up.
I am tempted as the phone as 16GB internal memory, whether I should backup my files and choose the options where I can turn my 64gb external SD card as part of my internal memory as I never take out my SD card so that option might work for me but the reviews I am hearing are more negative than positive. I did try it out and went back to the traditional approach but thinking that maybe I didnt give it enough time.
I used FolderMount which was great on LL and recently purchase Link2SD to move files to the SD card but my internal memory still fills up. Currently foldermount isnt compatible with MM, link2SD is but I am having a few issues with it crashing and dont find it as easily to use as foldermount.
Any advice would be appreciated on what others have done.
Thanks
I don't know about anything else, but from what I heard is:
If you format as internal, you will have to do the whole "setup your sd card" step every time you flash a rom. Which is garbage, unless you stay on the same rom for like ever.
Dirty flashing a rom might skip that setup, as you don't lose the data/settingd etc. Problem is, you can't always dirty flash. Especially when changing roms altogether. PC's might not be able to read it either even if it is in your phone.
This is just what I gathered over the time, nothing from personal experience.
Umm interesting well I normally backup my phone nightly using both TB and nandroid backup so restoring to a new ROM as long as it doesn't format the whole CSR I should be OK or does it when you install the new ROM in which case my backups are no good unless I save them to the cloud like Dropbox or google drive?

I've the Same problem!
Hi guys! Non developer here!
I have J500H, 6.0.1 and I'm following this forum for a couple of weeks. The "not enough internal storage" bring me here to xda forum. After buying SD card and realizing that will not solve the internal memory problem, I googled everything. So the only solution was rooting the phone. I followed some YouTube video, used Odin, flashed Super SU, some recovery (TWRP_J500H_MM.tar) and now my phone is rooted. But since then it is slow as a turtle, major lagging and using the SD card as internal storage problem was not solved, so I was left with the same problem as not rooted phone. Because I'm a total n00b, I was reading and learning about flashing ROMs, kernels, and stuff like that, but since I'm not a developer it is very difficult for me. Sooo....
My question is:
Can someone please suggest some stable ROM, which will primarily solve using the SD card as internal memory, and be stable and not draining the battery. And because as I said I'm a noob, please link some step by step guide so I don't mess something up. I currently have TWRP 3.0.2-1 Recovery, so let's start from there!
Thank you in advance for your help!
The reason your phone is slow as a "turtle" is because you used your SD Card as internal memory. Remember, SD card memory will never be as fast as system memory, that is why your phone is running slow, and it is the reason samsung did not include this option. If you want, you can do like i did, move all the apps like instagram, whatsapp to SD Card, there might be few crashes (as those apps are not intented to be moved to SD card) and uninstall all the bloat ( trust me there is a lot of it )
This way, i managed to have a ton of apps on my phone, and still have 2 gb free internal memory. The phone is blazing fast.
Or you can downgrade to Lollipop and use Nick Verses cm 13, gl

Actually I didn't use the SD card as internal... But I want to. When I rooted the device I thought that I'll be able to to that by default, but I never did. I never got the "mount as internal" option on the SD card. I downloaded some app I think it was app2SD or something like that and I placed instagram and some other apps on SD, but it never solved the insufficient storage icon appearing. But since you are telling me it will slow down the device even more I will not use the SD as internal.
As for the bloat. I have no idea how to remove that. Is that a simple way to remove all the bloat apps? I only have 8GB internal on which System memory is taking 3.24 GB, and the apps taking 3,41 GB with only few apps installed by me... all the other as bloatware. I would taken a Screenshots, but as a new member I'm not allowed to post links on my replies.
So that's why I needed to use the SD as internal, or flash some custom ROM which is more optimized.
Thank you for reply and please suggest some solution for getting rid of the bloat.
With the J500H, most users are stuck on 6.0.1 bootloaders.
If im not mistaken there are 2 stable roms for 6.0.1 bootloaders.
1. Skiesrom
2. Cm 13 port by Zonik
With Skiesrom it is still in beta with many minor bugs but most are fixed by using different apps/settings.
Version 2 of Skiesrom will fix most of these bugs.
With the Cm 13 port from Zonik. The only bug ive really heard of was the mtp connection.
Check the thread to see if theres any more bugs

I've done it! And I did uninstall all the bloat, and it freed some space but not too much... I still have 6,88 GB used out of 8. Even though I only have FB, Instagram, Messenger, Chrome and two other small apps. And FB started to crush every 4-5 minutes or so. That's why I wanted to try some stable custom ROM and use the SD as internal.

You use chrome right, than why not uninstall Samsungs stock Internet, that is another 200 mb and you say u have facebook and messanger, but you don't understand that every mid range phone will lag woth those two, combined those two apps take almost 1 GB of memory..

Use alternative apps for Facebook try Metal for Facebook, it's tiny and very light with no need of messenger to chat with your friends.
There're some stuff in root folder, for example in my j5 2015m there's a preload dir with games and more crap installed by local operator that can be "erased" too without really messing your phone functions.
Personally I don't use Facebook nor Messenger...these are "greeeaatt internal space eaters". Use Zonik CM13

Hey, I am in EXACTLY the same position as the original poster, literally every detail is the same; I want to use sd as internal, I have a rooted samsung J5 (okay, J500M in my case), and want to know which custom rom is best for this. The replies above were helpful but no one directly answered the question: which custom rom allows you to put any/all apps on the sd card of a samsung j5?
Does Cwm 13 allow this?
Seriously, this phone is pretty much unusable with stock. The original poster is not exaggerating, about 4 apps that cant be moved to sd (most apps) and the phone is full. If I had known I wouldve gotten a different model... anyway, thanks for any/all help!
ok first of all, do not use your internal storage as main storage and buy an sdcard with 16gb or above (i use 16gb and im ok with it) and put all the files to the sdcard and set the download locations to sdcard (some apps would work and others wouldnt). second, limit your downloaded apps or put it all in sdcard(only move the movable apps, i recommend using link2sd on it). third, use obb on sd(requires xposed) if you want heavy games with obb files work even if its additional files are on sdcard. fourth, do a weekly cleaning of your phone. smart manager will do the trick but its recommended to use sd maid for more features. fifth, do not use any adaptable storage(sd card as internal) since it will give you very slow performance and it will be a pain in the butt if you flash another rom since you'll reformat the sdcard again. and sixth, flash a very light but very stable rom(flash zips that wont go above 900mb or more) and i suggest cm12.1 rom by zonik and J2UX rom by mitko7411. i'm currently using J2UX rom and i still got 1.4gb free on my internal storage and ive been using it for a month now and no slowdowns whatsoever in this rom

Yup, and you can't have stock camera on any custom rom
