So I bought the moto F Z and moved my sd card over to it.
My subdirectory structure is
/sdcard/media/audio/music
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
worked fine on my samsung S5 but not on my moto F Z
Where do I need these to be on the moto F Z ?
I ask because setting up an alarm does not show any of my music/ringtones.
No help ?
For alarms it needs to be in the alarms folder.

I just downloaded one to figure it out, with the default file manager you can copy the file and paste it to internal storage alarms.
Same is true for notifications and ringtones with their respective folders.
So they can not exist on the SDcard ?
I really do not want to use up the internal space.
Make a backup of all the files you have on your SD card and reformat it to be used as internal memory.
It may be possible but as my phone recognizes mine as internal storage I am not able to check that. Perhaps try an alarms folder in the root directory of the SD card.
The base model has 32 GB of internal storage. You shouldn't have to worry about a few notification tones and ringtone. I have a lot of high end games installed, along with emulators with roms and ISO's and about 200 CDs, and hundreds of photos and still have 50 gbs free of 90. Storage concerns arent really what they used to be, especially with MM supporting SD as internal memory.

Certain data can be stored on the sd card.. Most games and such can be stored there, yes....

Would you say how ? i moved several data games direct from internal storage to external created android folder but games did not executed. also mount folder software is not compatible with kitkat .
Any idea?

Its not something the user can do. It seems some games, particularly those with huge datafiles, will store them in their android folder on the external card if they detect that the card is there
You can also go to the settings and in Application manager pick "move to sd card". This isn't the perfect solution as somethings seem to need to stay on the internal drive but it's what you got until the other apps are fixed for KK...

Can't comment on KK since I don't have it, but on 4.3 there is an option in application manager to move at least some applications to SD card manually and I did it. If that is not an option in KK, then this is another con against KK and another reason not to upgrade.

I slowly look there no longer. I have rooted my S3 Neo initially quite normal and provided with CWM as it has been explained in various tutorials. Then I fixed the Android 4.4 write access issue with the "NextApp SDFix" from Android market. With the "ES File Explorer" and "Total Commander" I could normally rename files on the SD card, copy and move.
However, to me the practical effect is associated with all apps, which store data automatically on the SD card very mysterious, because instead of the SD card, they will continue stored internally namely in "/storage/Emulated/0". I tested this with "Dead Trigger 2", which is usually stores the game data in "Android/OBB". In Application Manager I have the opportunity the app to move itself to the correct SD card (.android_secure directory), but just the app itself and not the game data wich stay in the internal, emulated SD-Card.
For my previous smartphone, an Ace 2 NFC (I8160P) there was a fix for it to fit the "vold.fstab" to file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28419837#post28419837
I could find only a tutorial changing the internal memory with the real SD-Card for the normal S3, which, however, is probably not compatible with the S3 Neo: http://android-hilfe.digidip.net/visit?url=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036796 - Or should I try it so anyway?
At first the question: Why the Kitkat-Fix is at all useful, if it does not help in practice and the data continues to be stored internally? The only thing that has been directly accessed files to the correct SD card was the photo app but that's about it.
Update: I just see that it also provides an Android folder on the right SD card as well as in the emulated and actually reside in folders and the installed apps, including "Dead Trigger 2". However, the folder unlike emulated SD card are completely empty. What does that have to mean again?
I hope somebody can help me ans find a solution as I can't use my external SD-Card for most game datas or apps as planned or I will send back my S3 Neo tomorrow.
PLEASE!!! Can somebody help me???
do you use xposed? there are a couple of modules that allows you to use obb files from sdcard. Personally i use "xinternal". those ps apps never worked for me also.
Use Folder Mount
I use a xposed module called "HandleExternalStorage" and it works like a charm! Try it yourself!
Good luck
Hi, my problem is with the phone of my girlfriend. Now have external 64GB SD, because internal storage is full. I used Android SDK and all the instructions for set default storage for install APP the new SD Card, you know, with the command adb shell pm set-install-location 2. And no error, i try get-install-location and report 2. But googe play only try to install in the internal storage.
I think the problem is with the system of the emulated storaged or something, but i tried many APP, many solutions, and i cant fix this, i search in google and others locations, have 30 tabs in firefox open with information, but i cant found the solution for this
Samsung Galaxy NOTE 4 (910F)
Android 5.1.1 (Of samsung of course)
Rooted
The vold.stab is:
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host
PLEASE, help me! thanks
I tried dismounting and mounting the SD, touching the vold.stab file, but do not get any results.
Can anybody help me?
Go back to stock, upgrade to 6.0.1. Then see if this helps-
http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/
The article is for S7, but see if you can have that working in the N4 - just have a backup of everything (int SD, ext SD, full backup in recovery).

I tried this in my phone. While the command itself worked after a bit of a tweak, the storage situation was pathetic - the phone showed the External SD as a part of the overall storage, but did not save files to it. Instead, it started saving files to the actual internal SD Card, resulting in space running out pretty soon. The External SD card was just there, and there was no way to migrate the files from the internal storage to the adoptable storage.
I just got a new Note 4 (this is the 3rd one I'm using since the first release in 2014) and I also want to adopt external memory card as my internal space bcos the 16Gg duos version is just too small and app to SD comes with a lot of hassles. After a lot of search for different solutions (which I tried out by the way but didn't work) I came across this thread for another phone entirely but it resolved my issue: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3460478.
The only downside is that I can't pop out my card (128Gg Samsung) and plug into my PC but I can still explore it directly from the phone itself.
I've been using the phone for 3 days and it runs smoothly, I hope that solves your problem too.
So there are two parts to the adoptable storage. The first part is the partitioned SD card and mounting the partition. Simple to be done via root essentials or the command line.
The other part is the actual menu entry on an app in application manager for moving it to the second partition. IIRC samsung does not have this support built in. So you need to flash something to replace that manager bit. In my experience with an on5 (like less than 1GB free on internal storage out of the box), adoptable wasn't really worth it, too much stuff still on internal storage. As not every app will allow you to move it to that second partition. It requires both system support and app support.
What I did there was to use the app apps2sd. Same idea, second partition on SD card. But it doesn't show up in settings -> storage. You manage where the apps go via that app. I use the link feature which places a symbolic link in the internal storage and moves all the actual files to that sd card partition.

I've been using apps2sd fot about a year and it comes with it headache too, sometimes the apps wouldn't find the external data (usually games with a lot of data) and it'll start downloading it again into the internal memory, so I usually find myself having to force stop the app, delink and relink the data on the memory card to fix the bind. I also didn't bother to partition my SD card since I can explore it on the PC with my phone connected. What this solution ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3460478 ) does is to flash back the option to use the SD card as internal memory that Samsung removed from the phones and it works seamlessly on all Samsung phones with rooted stock OS.
Okay my question is simple and straight forward I have a non rooted Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge, Model Number: SM-J327P and currently running Android Version 6.0.1 on Sprint the 16 GB version... well I just got this phone and it already has a full internal memory, I installed a 32gb micro sd card , while I'm able to move photos and music and etc.... but I am not able to move apps to my sd card, which I really want to do so badly. I don't have any photos or music or things of that nature to delete on this phone and make space because I have not put any on this phone yet, and it's a brand new phone, the only way to make space in my phone is to delete just a couple big apps I downloaded ,that's it, but I do not want to do that. My question is; is there a way to adopt external sd storage on my phone to make it think it's internal storage so I have more storage ?? I hate how 2016 model phones do not have the option to make sd storage internal storage . It should be a mandatory option for newer model phones we are in the future for crying out loud it's 2017 things like this should be handled on phones already . Why is this a problem in 2017??? Anyways can anyone help me? Is there a way to do this ? Please and thanks in advance....

The only way to move apps to the phone is by rooting it. I rooted mine and use Apps2SD. I even use Titanium Backup (greatest rooted app ever IMO) to move the stubborn apps that only install on the phone internal memory. I don't do the system apps like Messages but apps that I have installed from the Playstore.
you can use xinternal after flashing xposed i have around 350 apps and modules lol still 5 gb left internal and 11 gb/32gb external
You can try this
1. Enable developer options tap basemodel in about phone (Settings)
2.Enable USB debugging
3.Download and install minimal and and fastboot to your Windows computer.
4.Plug phone in.
5. Open up minimal ADB cms line
6. Type the following
7.Adb devices
ex. 26dh3 device (should show)
8.Adb shell ( j3popltespr# should show up)
9.sm list-disks
179,64 (64 should be whats shown i believe)
now partiton your device for adoptable storage (make a backup this will erase all of your sd card)
10.sm partition disk:# of first disk, # of second disk private
(sm partition disk:179,64 private
or for 50% adoptable 50% portable you would replace private with mixed and the number ex. sm partition disk:179,64 mixed 50)
(ie. 179,64 or 179,65 *be careful to only partition the two disks listed
(179 and w.e it showed for list disk output should be what the partition cmd embodies)
11. unplug and reboot *may take longer
12. Go to your options under storage and click the three dot menu and press migrate data *use your internal storages settings and migrate its data* if the option exists ....if not then just get a good file explorer and copy and paste the files from storage/0/emulated to ExtSd (it should just ask you for permission amd to choose your disk but if it doesnt show nd u see a blank screen then you need to sty on blank screen tap three dot menu and press show sd) now just hit the accept button in the root directory (home where it shows all folders) and now you have write permissions to your SD card.
I would tho in all seriousness root your phone by followimg the OFFICIAL TWRP thread posted by @ashyx and then use apps2sd , truly you will be pleasantly suprised with root and its capabilities, and you can always use Odin and the 4 firmware files BL,AP,CP,CSC to reflash back to stock in case you break something using a bad root app, but truly if you can follow my tutorial you can handle root and its process to obtaining root.

I save Songs and Videos in Songs Folder and Videos Folder created in MicroSd Card inserted in my Samsung M30s.But they disappear after some time.How to keep them secure in these folders?
Maybe you have some service enabled on your phone that wipes memory from files not used for a certain period of time, or moves them to the cloud. You know your phone best yourself. Did you connect the microSD as external memory or internally?
Which might be that services?Can you name some for an example?I connected the MicroSd as External Memory.
Look first in this application, where you have selected a directory in the external memory.
You can also move files to another location on the microSD yourself before they disappear in the location where they disappear.

Thank you ze7zez.First I shall try moving these files to already existing folders in the Sdcard watch whether they are disappearing.Afterwards I shall report the result here.
Do not use directories that the system or applications have posed.
Create a DATA directory yourself and move files to it.
Thank you ze7zez,
As you advised,I moved the Video files to the Movies folder and the Audio files to the Music folders.You know these folders are designated by the Phone itself whien I inserted the MicroSd Card for the first time.Then I watched for a day to see whether the files are disappeared from these folders.I found that those files are there still in these folders.Now I want to know why these files vanish from the folders created by me?
Describe /the actions you perform/name the applications you use/ that place files in directories where they later disappear.
I used File Manager Plus Application to move video files to Videos Folder and Audio files to Songs Folder.These Videos and Songs Folders were created by myself in the Sdcard.And these files were moved from the Send Anywhere Folder in the Sdcard itself.And to my dismay this Send Anywhere Folder itself was also created by myself in the Sdcard.Also the files in this folder remain in tact.They won't disappear.
So did the files disappear from the "Send Anywhere" directory?
What application placed the files in "Send Anywhere"?
The files did not disappear from the Send Anywhere Folder.They are still there since 3 days.This SendAnywhere directory got these files by transferring from another phone using Send Anywhere App.
