[Q] Why a 32gb micro SD card...

hi guys!
I'm not so new here, but i think it's my first post. And a hope not start bad...heheheh
Well, i have a question. I just bought a mustang micro sd card (class10) and i've noticed that not all apps and games can be moved. I mean, what files are moved? Gameloft games are able to move but not at all. All folders with bigger files stay on the phone. And the problem doesn't stops here, the only options I have is to move files between USB storage and device memory...and not for external sdcard. I can see the folder external_sd, but how can I use this?
So, do I have space on external sd card just for photos, music and videos?? Any help is welcome!
Thanks for attention and sorry about my english!

any sugestion...?

I guess so or until someone creates an apps2sd+ or even better a data++ ROM as there are for the HTC Desire. Look in the dev forum over there for more info and explanations about apps2sd+ and data++

thanks mate!

still having headaches!
GPS, apps, games...i can't put anything on sdcard...on my other devices i can put a lot of things on sdcard\android\data
but galaxy s2 the sdcard folder is inside the fone, not the real sd card...
too bad...

The sdcard folder is just the SG2's internal storage. You have to go to sdcard/external_sd to access the actual micro SD card.

With 1GB of /data and 11GB on /sdcard I am not sure why you would need to move data to the microSD.
a 32GB card would be good for media and such though.

Yeah, i know that...i was wondering if there is a way to use the external_sd as the real sdcard. Understand what i mean?

[Q] Move app to SD won't move obb data?

On the latest update with Move to SD feature, when I move a game to SD card, the obb data is still in device storage.
Is this only me?

Hi,
Move to sd feature only moves the app.
Data is still on the internal storage.
In order to get both,you need to be rooted and use FOLDERMOUNT

Use the app called like "GL to SD" only requires root and moves everything to the SD

i've just tested foldermount with a couple off games and after moving & mounting, the games didn't work anymore till i move them back to original location. (i'm using omega 7 firmware for 9505)

Is there any option to move the data to SD Card without rooting the phone?

EXACTLY WHICH I FIND BUT DIDNT GET SUCCEED YET:crying:

first of all,
you cant swap internal memory (internal SD) to external sdcard as both Are different...
what you can swap is the /data folder which is THE INTERNAL APP STORAGE PARTITION.
and you may evn move(link) the /system/app folder to sdcard.
but for all this firstly we need
1) mounting script
2) ext3/ext4 modules
3) MOST IMPORTANTLY, a kernel with init.d support.

Use Folder Mount:
1)Download Folder Mount apk
2)Grant the application Root access by Superuser
3)Create the pairs.There is an option for automatically creation of pairs too once we select source folder.
4)Wait during transferring of files to ext SD card.
5)Once done open List of pairs option enable the pair and play the game.
Root access is required.
It works great no lag.I am using transcend 32Gb class 10 memory card.i have total around 18GB games on my phone.

please devs do something for this memory swaps....messed up with this memory prbs..

Any progress?

[SD card problem] External and internal storage

Hello, Now I don't really know what's going on cause i'm going crazy with this phone, eveytime I inserted sd card it asked the partition card and internal sd card and when I chose the external ones I have no idea why it doesn't read my sd card like for example I wanna transfer my file via airdroid or wanna restore an app via Titanium backup or play an NDS game it just read only the internal storage even though it shows on ES file explore (I tried the internal ones and it format my SD card, and S did put all the files back in place but it didn't help, the es file explore in photo was before I put my files back, by the way), my phone just doesn't read my sd card, it's like it just work as a one way storage, when I was using a Sony, this doesn't happens what so ever.
Does anyone knows how to fix this problem of mine, please help me. I took some pictures to make proves :crying::crying:

In titanium backup, open the preferences menu then choose backup folder location. Choose Storage provider (click to change). Then pick DocumentProvider storage, select the SD card on the left menu then press Select at the bottom right corner

go to settings>>storage>>click on external sdcard>>top corner 3dots>>settings>> format
then move media to sdcard.

Your SD card is showing in the file manager. You've 32gb sd card right? "FD89-1CE6" is your sd card. For titanium backup you need go to TB settings and set the backup directory to SD CARD ( FD89-1CE6)

Yeah, Thank you very much, i just did it last night, kinda having trouble with the superSU at first though, I tried to patched Titanium Backup on lucky patcher and it kept saying that I need to root my device, so i had to reflash superSU again. Thank god it went through. Now I having trouble with the internal SD card, I couldn't get it my play store to install app to my sd card or to re-direct my app to read file in my Sd card, for example I installed Chaos ring 3, I had to move all the file from my sd card to internal, it's knilling my internal storage TT^TT . Does anyone have a solution for that, please let me know.... I think everybody have the same problem though, does anyone know how to fix this solution? :crying::crying:

In Android 6.0, once you format ur external sd card as internal it becomes a part of ur internal memory and functions as internal one(the external SD card won't show up in file managers). Hence the phone decides where your app is installed either the real internal memory or the now formatted SD card working as internal memory.
If you don't format it as internal memory. The apps won't install on external SD card and you can't move the apps to external SD card.

No you can't coz the data on your sd card will be encripted n you won't be able to read it on your computer via card reader. I'd suggest you to keep your sd card as "portable device" if you want to transfer data via card reader.

More storage space

My daughter has not enough space on her Tmobile Grand Prime 8GB, but her SD card is 64GB. What can I do to add more space without rooting the phone? I know 6.0 has adoptable storage but she is on 5.1.1 right now. Thanks in advance.

You cannot do much without root about thr storage space. But the thing you can do is go to setting application manager or storage then application and select a desired app and chose the option move to sd this will move part of the app to sd card

Do you have a rooted grand prime? I haven't rooted in years but I know how to do it.
