Hi Guys
I recently bought a new samsung galaxy S4 i-9500 32GB unlocked. I have bought a samsung 64gb SDHCMemory card in order to increase the storage for data and moving apps.
The phone is unlocked and rooted prior the purchase of the memory card.
My 1st question is related to the new samsung update which allows moving apps to storage card; is this available for the i-9505 only? Because i can't see it although i am using the latest firmware. Or maybe this is due to rooting my phone?
I went and downloaded the LINK2SD app and followed the instructions listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126363
I managed to do everything except the "install location" in setting under NATIVE APPS2SD, which doesn't allow me to proceed: i get this error message "Apps2SD is not supported by your device, because your device has a primary external storage....."
However i still managed to link an application using LINK2SD after all. Does it mean i am able now to move apps to external storage?
I hope I have described the issue well and that you will help me by answering my questions
NB: Forgot to add that "enabling swap" has FAIL status in swapper 2
many thanks
I have the same error on link2sd (Omegav14).But I don't care, I use appmgr instead

thanks , i will open a new thread soon, as i have more serious issue now
Phone stuck at boot and tried to unroot but in vain
I have searched a similar problem in this fórum for some hours, but could not find.
I have a 64GB sandisk microsd card in my Galaxy S5 (I9505). I started using this card when my phone had jelly bean 4.2.2. Everything was fine, I had filled more than 30GB of it with music.
Then, around 1 month ago, I decided to update my phone to kitkat 4.4.2. I did this, then rooted it again. After this, I read that kitkat does not accept apps to write in the sdcard, so I installed the kitkat external sd card patcher, which changes the permission files so that the card can be writable again.
But even doing so, I can not write (or copy or even delete) anything in this sdcard. I tried to format it in Windows, DOS, and also inside the phone, but I do not get. I can read all the files (play all the musics) in it , but no write operation.
Any suggestion on how to proceed to fix this? How could this happen?
Thanks for any hint...
Try to update your phone to the latest update android 4.4.2.

It's already updated to Android 4.4.2; this issue with the sdcard has happened after the update to 4.4.2.

Try to run this APP and tell me if it works. Good luck
Hi Joku1981, I tried this App, but it did not work. The problem is in the sdcard, not in the Phone. It started when I updated from jelly bean (4.2.2) to kitkat (4.4.2).
Hello Guys,
my phone is Karbonn Titanium s5 plus which is a MT6582 device (Rooted).
I have installed multiple custom ROMs for testing purpose. Now 2 days ago my phone rejected all custom ROMs but accepted the stock ROM and Sony Xperia V2 ROM. Now the problem is that after installation I find that the file manager is not working and DiskInfo app shows me that my external sd card is not mounted. I searched a lot about this error and was confused. my ext-sdcard is of 16gb and another app called APARTED shows out of that 11580 MB is showing fat32 fs and 4096 MB is showing ext2 fs and both of them are unmounted by the system by default.
when I connect the sd card to my PC with sdcard reader then it shows the contents and the card is absolutely OK.
So there are 2 problems :
1. I cannot install custom roms which I had installed previously in this phone via CWM or TWRP.
2. ext-sdcard not showing anymore in android file manager or any such file xplorers.
so guys any help will be appreciated !
Thanks and Regards.
I have same problem
I'm facing the same issue on my Galaxy S5 900F
May I ask if u have found a solution? Spent many days googling but no luck.
Really hope u can help! :fingers-crossed:
Much thanks in advance!

Hi all,
I'm new to smartphones and this is my first phone . I'm trying to sent external SD card as internal storage. Issue is that phone has only 8GB of ROM and by default 3.2 is System and 3.5 is Used space. So there is just a tiny space left on the internal memory. Android version is 5.1.1. I have rooted it with TWRP 3.0.2-0 and SuperSU. SD card is Kingstone SDca3/32GBn0557-004A00LF.
I have been reading a lot of tuturials to make external memory internal with no luck. I have tried adb tools, formating it with Mini Tool Partition Wizard-DroidThunder, a2sd, Link2SD, etc... I'm also OK with installing custom ROMs that will enable me to make internal memory of my SD card.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks xD.

Ah yes, forgot this device uses a Spreadtrum chipset so will likely never get an update.
Install lineage 14.1 and format sd card into intern memory
Read xda forum for installing lineage on sm j320f
Screenshot storage
Sorry for the late response, I finally manage to get a day off. Thank you all for helping me xD. I wil install Lineage 14.1 and I have some questions. I was able to find this one LOS 13 and this is Android 6.0. I have also find this on youtube How To Install Android 7.1.2 Nougat on Samsung Galaxy J3 Nougat Custom Rom Lineage OS 14.1 but I'm unable to download ROM, the link is not working. I'm OK with any version of Android that will allow me to get SD as internal.

I was able to install RR 8.5.8 with Android 7.1, SD card is formated as internal storage. It's OK for now, but still when I go to storage internal SD and external appear as to separate cards. I have migrated all the stuff to external. Some app. do not have option to move to external SD card. Both cards are appearing as separate units. I have seen this tutorial https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-format-microsd-cards-as-internal-storage. It appears that both cards are seen as one by the Android. This is exactly what I want. I have been trying this article with no joy. Can some one please explain me that exactly I need to do? Thanks XD!
hello there i am also interested in getting this done for a friend...would love to know your results so far as of what little i know about spreadtrum devices they are notoriously hard to work with and tend to brick quite often.. @1Igrach if you could post your results regarding this issue it would be much appreciated thank you
I finally was able to find a safe root for Note 4 5.1.1 stock rom that wouldn't cause a boot loop , next step was to swap internal by external sd , the sd is formated exfat , i have searched and keep finding outdated tutorials with resources killed by time so please for whomever is willing to help to make sure they upload their resources along .
also i managed to download an app that would enable init.d on note 4 (hopefully) so script solution is available .
I got to understand I can not use the normal route of installing xpose and the swap memory app from google play as still till date installing xpose on note 4 would cause a boot loop , is that correct ?
I can't seem to find vold.fstab on stock kernel , so vold manipulation is unavailable too .
thanks in advance !
p.s , i have seen an older post about manipulating mounts so new apps are installed directly to sd card while still in place but with precaution that if someone copies files to internal memory directly when plugged to a computer the mobile might boot loop i may want to dodge that solution thank you
I have searched more and found a custom belt version for samsung galaxy of xpose , i installed it and installed swap internal memory by sd from app store but yet no matter what it didnt do the swap , so xpose tricks are incompatible .
p.s i never had answers in this forum , why ?
