It did with Doom 3. All 4GB transferred to my SD card.
But YMMV depending on the app of course
I have bought Tales From the Borderlands, which BTW plays really nice with the Nvidia-controller. Whereas the app itself is installed on the microSD-card, the game data it self (e.g. the different seasons - and those are several megabytes) will load internally. That's sad.
Apps to externals HDD
ive been trying to figure out how to move apps from the internal memory to an external HDD i alread used the drive to create a TWRP backup, i can also see the drive in ES file explorer but i cant find any apps or method to move app OBB/DATA to an external HDD there are plenty for apps to SD but i need APP to HDD. can anyone shed some light on this? do you have this kind of thing working?

I believe Apps to USB storage will be available when we get an Android M update for the Shield TV.
any news on android m ?
If you happen to have xposed
Theres a module thats purpose is to "reroute" those internal folder contents to its counterpart on external sd card
Theres no mention of usb harddrive, but those in this situation thats willing to test and find out......
"Change path to internal SD card on OS level! Android Storage API tweaks.
This module changes path to internal SD card.
You can: change path to internal SD which is returned by System API, change path to obb dirs, app files, download dir (you can have everything on SD card!)
Control it in app settings."
[Xposed][MODULE][4.0+] XInternalSD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-disablesignaturecheck-t2789267
Github
https://github.com/pylerSM/XInternalSD
If there are and it works, im sure future readers in this situation would appreciate the confirmation assuming theres no other way
Xposed
I'll try that out don't have xposed installed yet but I guess that will have to be the next thing on my list.
on full android i use link2sd.

I made a post about it here on xda in shield android tv general.
Why does Nvidia even keep putting 16GB options in these tablets and STB? I swear 32GB should be the absolute minimum.

Does the apps to SD support in 6.0 move everything? Obb and Data.
Also will it support moving to USB or external HDD?
If not I would say it's still pretty useless to me.

Everything,yes but sd only,not USB.
It mount USB as a external device.
There is no "best way" until we can figure out a way to get the Shield TV to support EXT4 file system.
I installed a custom kernel on my Galaxy Note 10.1 v2014 16GB tablet so I can use my 64GB external micro SD as "internal" storage. It works fairly well. It's not perfect, but it works well.
Once I got my tablet to recognize EXT4 file system, I was able to format my micro SD to EXT4 use a Windows app, there are several.
Then, I used Link2SD to mount the card as "internal storage".
My internal storage has only 10gb free when it's stock with no apps installed. I cleaned out the bloat and managed to recover another 0.4gb.
Using Link2SD, I'm able to install another 11gb of apps and games onto my tablet. My real internal storage now is about 8.82gb free. The rest of the data is stored on the micro SD.
For a lot of apps, it's able to store 100% of the app's data onto the micro SD.....I mean 100%!
BUGS:
Because of the way my tablet mounts the micro SD, if I ever have to reboot my tablet, then I have to reboot it twice. First, I do a "hard" reboot". Second, I do a "soft" reboot. The first reboot mounts the micro SD. But, because Links2SD loads before the micro SD mounts, it doesn't see it. So, I do a "soft" reboot, which only reboots the Android UI. Links2SD has a built-in feature to do this. After the soft reboot, Link2SD sees it. You have to buy the paid version to move 100% of the data to the micro SD but it was only $2-3.
Once in a blue moon, my NOVA launcher acts weird. I just do the process above and it resets it.
Without directory linking, which is how Link2SD works, then there is no BEST WAY to do this because there's no way Android will move 100% of the app to the external storage. Link2SD creates symbolic link on the internal storage, so when you look at the App Manager, it still thinks it's internal and even gives you the option to MOVE TO SD but don't do that! It's already on the SD.
So, bottom line, if you want this to work for our Nvidia Shield TV's, then you need to spread awareness to Nvidia and devs here about EXT4 file system support and hope that someone can port it to our machines!

you are a bit late but this is ok

If I want to copy files, create a folder, save a picture on external SD, every time, some pop-ups like this appear, asking me to select the root of the SD. I can see this is a extra protection, but i want to know more. What kind of protection is it, how can it be controlled, disabled... because many times it actually cause problems.
What is weird (I haven't seen this before on other phones) is the structure of the storage folder. I have inside 4 folders:
emulated
sdcard0
sdcard1
usbotg
In "emulated" is a folder called "0" (zero) that seems to mirror everything that is in "sdcard0" folder.
Phone specs:
P8Lite ALE-L21 Rooted, converted to Dual SIM (B190)
Please see attached images for details of the popup.
it's there so the user can select the permission that an app has to the SD card.
For the weird structure... SDcard 0 is your phones intern memory sdcard 1 is you phones sd card
those other 2 are (and i think, i don't know for sure) just needed for android.
if you go to settings -> advaced-> memory in android 6.0 you can select the card as internal memory. this shoul take care of the permissions and should let memory be catogorized as one partition.

I should have mentioned: Android 5.0.1 (not 6)
And is it there a way to disable this feature? As I said, on many occasions it causes trouble by not allowing a operation to perform properly. I suspect this feature has its own bugs too.
Thanks.

actually it's the same.
it's not a bug it's a feature
in kitkat we had the problem of restriction for the sd card. google changed that into this mode.
where the user grants the permissions. you can disble that the same way as android 6.0
by setiing the default storage location to sd card
in android 5.1 its settings -> memory -> default storage-> sd
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

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.

Hello,
I have a rooted Galaxy Tab A (2016) with S Pen 10.1. SM-P580. Running 6.0.1.
I have a couple of issues I can't get past.
First problem :
Whenever I restart my tablet there are a few changes that always occur. They are :
- Screen timeout goes back to the default 15 seconds (although I have it changed to 2 minutes)
- Keyboard goes back to the default one (from my chosen SwiftKey to Samsung keyboard)
- In "notification access" everything goes to "off"
- In "Accessibility" and "Services" everything goes to "off". Each time I need to manually turn them back on, one by one.
It can be quite annoying to always have to change everything back at each reboot. And it's not only on reboot, it also happens if I leave the tablet on for a few days.
Does anyone know what to do, to make my preferences stay??
Second problem (more importantly) :
I can't find an application that would make the SD card the default storage (this option does not exist in the tablet itself).
As it is now, if I want to download music or movies I can't. Because with the 16GB (and almost full) internal memory it's not enough.
Anytime an application has been updated it goes automatically to the internal storage so I have to keep moving them back manually to the SD card, if not the rest won't update since not enough space.....
I have 1,3 GB left of free space on internal storage and 97GB on SD card.
So I have a fancy tablet and a big SD card but can't download anything!
I have tried a few SD applications but they just don't do the job. And some of them don't even recognise that I have a SD card.
Does anyone know of an SD card application that would do the basic work of :
- Make SD card default storage.
- Be able to move applications to and from SD card.
- Automatically move recently downloaded apps to SD card.
I would be most grateful for any help I can get!
Thank you!
Id say your issue is your data partition has somehow become corrupted. I suggest backing up what you need, factory reset and reinstall the stock firmware.
For more storage you could use adoptable storage.
