The fact that we don't have external storage anymore is really a pain in the ass, imho. I find myself having to keep a full nandroid backup on my phone because I'm often flashing and need a fallback --- but the space requirements are crazy.
What is everyone else doing about this limited space issue?
Is there a way to somehow connect the phone to an external drive and flash stuff from there (like a nandroid?)
Thanks for any input
well I have my backup and roms, etc on a dual ultra SanDisk drive

So I can use my pc to download the files and the stick to install

Would you mind elaborating on your restore procedure ? Supposing your full band nandroid backup is on your stick. Your internal memory is full with photos and videos and apps. You need to restore, what do you do?
Do you have a way of restoring from that stick or you clear space on your ur phone, copy the backup from your stick back to your phone and then restore ?

Many thanks for the responses. I checked the link and am a bit confused...is the edge+ otg enabled ? And how does this work then with what I wish to do? Will I be able to restore to my phone FROM this stick ? Am I understanding the phone will see this as an sort of extension to itself, much like an external SD card?

Custom recoveries support external USB units these days also

Most Samsung's support OTG. You can copy-paste files from stock File Manger "My Files" from and to the stick directly from your phone.

By the way, questions should go in Q&A, unsurprisingly
ROM Manager also works?

Allegedly, but then I have also heard of problems with it, so no real comment on that I'm afraid

Constellation? ....configuration?....If you have a custom recovery, then yes.....plenty of reading and learning to do before you jump head first into anything
I recoverd in cwm. And yes I mean configuration
I mean flash odexed apps or widgets. I know that I can't flash for example a costum Rom.
Btw sorry for my bad English
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
Nothing to stop you flashing a custom Rom, but if you want to stay with a stock odexed Rom there are quite a few mods in themes and apps that can be applied to odex Roms, just make sure you read thoroughly and understand what you are doing, before you do it
I would like stay with stock Rom and kernel. What is important when I flash themes apps or widgets? I think I need odexed files in my case

Yes, stock Roms are odexed, so just make sure whatever modification you use is suitable for an odex Rom
Hey guys
I've rooted my tab and uninstalled some unneeded system apps (I know I should have frozen them but oh well to late now)
Anyway is there any way to flash a factory image yet?
I will have to send my 8.3 back cause I've got a speaker issue but I wanted to restore everything first.
Thanks in advance.
Gesendet von meinem LG-V500 mit Tapatalk 4
A regular factory reset via the settings menu will be fine in that case. You can also unroot via super user app.
We do have the kdz to fall back on, though.

Well a factory reset won't bring all the system apps back so I think I have to check out that link when I'm home.

No, i dont have root access.
I'm not sure, but I think this is the problem.

You can try an app called SDfix in the playstore, but I don't know if it requires root. Google eliminated the sd card write function on kit-kat on up.

Hey guys,
I've got a big problem. On my S7 Edge I can't write on the internal storage, can't delete stuff and even can't take a screenshot.. Why?
Edit: Only at /data/media/0 everything is working...
Thanks...

I can't find any option to move apps to the sd card. Did that go with Marshmallow?

You have to format the card as internal storage. This will erase your card's data and it can't be used on another device, but you can move apps to it after that.

True that, but its very slow, no matter how good your sd card is. Try something like FolderMount.
I finally found from the Moto forum that this feature had been deprecated in favour on the format as internal option.
