i've been searching since yesterday and can't seem to find the solution to install/link/move apps to SD Card as there is no option in the Settings > Apps
I downgraded to kitkat because my sp can't handle lollipop at somepoint I dunno why because at fresh install its fast and smooth after sometime it slows down..
can someone link here where I can swap external to internal for the kitkat rom, thanks

I have literally the same concern, could you find an answer?
I guess you're trying it on an unofficial CM11 Rom, what's the situation on other CM11 based Roms? If swapping external to internal is impossible, is it because of the CM11 entirely, or the Sony XSP itself?
If swapping is not possible on CM11, what about CM12 (Lollipop) ?
I'm a Huawei Ideos X5 and Motorola Atrix 4G user and CM7.2 has the option to use the external SDCard as internal SD on both devices.
I will also be grateful if the users of XSP check my thread about this subject as well and advise:

well on lollipop i just use the Apps2SD app which creates a 2nd partition on your sd card and link apps there but the problem with lollipop roms are they're not smooth as kitkat roms somehow lag/freeze shows up after you install the apps you need, I also tried Apps2SD in an official cm11 rom and when you reboot after linking an app, it disappears even if the 2nd partition is re-mounted after the reboot. I think it's based on the rom itself and not on sony xsp.

Hi guys,
I've not been able to find a definitive answer on this so thought I'd throw it out there for you all to feast on. We all know the useable internal storage available on a TW S4 is circa 9GB. I've recently flashed a stock GE rom, but I still seem to have the same storage available. The vanilla rom is over 1GB smaller, so should that extra storage be available to me? e.g circa 10gb useable storage available? Will I need to wipe the entire internal storage before flashing the rom?
Thanks

When you flash a new rom, its build size does not affect the size of the partition. That is, Samsung has partitioned the internal hard drive and flashing a new rom does not re partition it. Hence no change in the available space.
There is another thread regarding this in the General Section, here is the link.

I couldn't get you.
The basic thing us that the i950x (S4) is a phone which comes with 8.x GB than the usual 16 thing.
But only the i9500 has an option of flashing a new partition table and expanding the internal memory to 11GB.
When you flash the official rom .you see 16GB as storage is not possible.
Try checking it in the bottom most line of titanium backup or any other storage app
Rest upload a screenshot here too so that we can understand better.
My phone always displayed 9GB internal.
Hello.
I have a moto x pure running android 6.0 bootloader unlocked and rooted with TWRP recovery.
I keep encountering a problem with my internal storage there are 10 GBs of space missing. I need to wipe my data and reset the phone every couple of months for this issue any idea what's causing it and if there is any soulution other than wipe the device. Attached are some screenshots of the issue with the device info
Same thing was happening to mine and I didn't have a solution. I recently installed a new rom and the data went away, however I never actually found a proper solution. I had 13 GBs taken up by 'system' for seemingly no reason on the stock rom. Sorry I couldn't be more help, just reporting that you are not alone.

Unfortunately I can't suggest anything, I was using this phone from stock since I got it. I just now started to install roms on this device so I don't know all of the options yet. However some people state that LineageOS has the 'chop chop' to turn on the flashlight. However the 'wave your hand over the screen for it to turn on' feature is missing on my rom (crDroid) and I assume any rom that is not stock. I believe that most custom AOSP roms will not include most moto features. You should look for roms that are build off of stock, they will contain all the features of the stock rom as well as 'custom' features from AOSP roms.
Edit: After looking through the roms for this device, it looks like this is the go-to 'stock' custom rom TruPureX If you want all the moto features, but still want extra stuff, this looks like it would be the best bet.
I can't see any problem on the screenshots...
You have
7,94 gb Android OS
5,20 gb Apps
6,75 gb Images
0,95 gb Audio
1,67 gb Other
That summed up gives 22,51 gb off the internal memory
The device shows 22,90 gb used, the 390mb left is caused on cache/dalvik-cache/odex stuff i did not add there
Forget about what i told you, i was wrong on adding the Android OS :silly:
I've never had this problem, mine is working properly (or not, since it shows less than the total sum)
Hi People
Unfortunately not had any replies to my 1st post about what bloatware and preinstalled apps that I am able to remove from the device after rooting it.
Could I try from another Angle could anyone provide a link for a custom rom that I could try and install which would remove it by installing a custom rom?
Sorry guys but I'm desperate to get the crap off and free up the device storage!
Thanks
Paul

If you goal is to free up space just removing preinstalled apps won't help that much since you are only modifying the system partition which is fixed and readonly. As for custom ROMs, since you are a T285 user you have the benefit of a wide range of ROMs to choose from, for 5.1.1 you have the tinker edition roms, on the other hand the 6.0.1 (CM, Omnirom) and 7.1.1 (Lineage, Omnirom) based roms allow adoptable storage, of course the 6.0.1 and 7.1.1 roms have problems just take note of the issues and problems each build has and see if it works for you. Just take a look at the ROMs and custom kernel section of this forum.
Thanks Jedid, would these roms remove bloatware upon installation? Which would you say is the most stable? Are they installed using Odin?

when you "install" these ROMs they actually replace the entire system and boot partition of your device, so they don't remove anything they replace it. In theory the Tinker Edition variant is the most "stable" as it is just stock with some apps removed. For non-stock based firmware (CM, LineageOS, Omnirom) I guess CM-13 has the most hardware support. Yes you use Odin to install these.
You wouldn't have clear step by step instructions to follow would you please? New to this it is rooted twrp and supersu.
Also could you provide the Rom on the tablet as it is now incase ever what to return it to normal.
Hi Guys I managed to install the Tinker Edition 5.1.1, it's still got kids mode Hancom, Samsung smart manager still on there? I don't seem to be able to move to SD card I thought you could on this rom? If not could anyone assist please?

Only 6.0.1 and 7.1.1 based roms like CM, Lineage and OmniRom support adoptable storage. For Tinker Edition use root apps like Link2SD to move to SD card.
With links2sd can you move any apps on the device to SD card? Are there any that do need to be left on the device?
After turning on the device today I don't seem to be connect to my wifi. Saying failed to obtain IP address also won't connect using tether from my phone either. All other devices in the household are connected fine, and there were no issues prior to installing Tinker edition rom last night. Can anyone help please? How to rectify? I've switched off router rebooted I've switched off device and still won't connect?
Sorted problem, the IP address needed changing!
If I have now installed custom rom after rooting my SM -T285 how do I put it back to how it was from new with no root or custom rom, none of the apps like sky sports mobile virgin media anywhere will work on a rooted device!

you can download the stock rom from sammobile, updato and then flash using odin
Would that over ride any custom rom then? Or would have to unroot after installing stock rom

Really guys i need help! I'm not an expert installing stuff, but i've been trying to help my gf moving apps to SD, with android assistant, deleting cache, uninstalling apps, and only have necessary stuff. I do not auto-update apps.
Today we reach 100% internal memory just bcs my gf was viewing a video on facebook. Tried to delete cache but that doesn't work.
I was planning to downgrade to stock CHO 5.1.1 ROM J500MUBU1APF1 but i think the problem will persist.
Can someone guide me to a good stable rom that deletes all the garbage that comes with stock like Opera,Knox, S fuc.. Health? Things like that. I was hoping the stock rom rule is always better will work here but you guys knows that this cellphone is poop.
Help me please! :crying:

Hi there
Well if you care too much about stability and battery save i prefer you to use sep8.5(there is also lite version of this rom that)
But if you look for more space on internal strange and have latest os i prefer to use bootleggers or linage os pie
All of these rom don't have unnecessary things and are great and tested by my self many many times (it's just fun and new experience for me)
And you can also install all your apps and your apps's cache to your sd card(but it should be great and powerful)

Thanks for your reply.
In essence i need, all the default standard stock apps like radio, messages, gmail and camera etc everything working stable what i don't want is garbage like extra games or browsers like opera/chrome, things that occupy space on the internal storage.
If there's a custom rom with android 5.1.1 that works fluently i prefer that but if there's a custom rom with 6.0./7/8 and so on that works stable/fast with the J5(2015) hardware well i would try that. Which one you recommend with the stuff i mention?
Oh! another thing, can you confirm this are the ones you mention before:
Sep8.5: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/rom-sep-8-5-galaxy-a8-2018-rom-t3796971 << this is the 8.5? looks like 8.0
Sep8.5 Lite: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/rom-sep-8-5-lite-galaxy-j2-2018-rom-t3821600
bootleggers: ???
Linage os pie: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/unofficial-lineageos-16-0-galaxy-j5-t3851124
Really thank you for taking the time to guide me.
