Install apps to sd card - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Questions & Answers

This is budget gaming smartphone.. Expandable to 2tb using micro SD which is great but cannot move game like pes 2018 to SD card.. Please help :crying:

Maybe some games won't run unless the game is installed on primary/internal memory and that's why it's locked and not movable. what do you think?

by default asus does not allow sdcard to be formatted as internal to allow that i recommend watching a youtube and use the command strings provided via adb fastboot and then format as internal allowing you more memory as internal. Enjoy

i tried and successfull. after i migrated my data and restart the phone
my sd corrupted and lost all my data. but my sd can be use again after format to normal storage.

storage confusion(memory)

im just a bit confused about the sd card in general,,my phone of astro file manager has like,,,phone>sdcard>externalsd...which is weird and i never know if im searching my phone or my sd card...
when i try and load things i have dragged on my pc desktop onto sdcard they ussualy then go into phone>sdcard>external sd and never just .... sd card
i was trying to load images into sketchbook mobile and i could only do so from the phones camera pictures where i now have to drag everything omn the desktop....why cant i make use of my 32gb external sd card in this regard?
where are the applications for augmenting tehe sd card memory or whatever not for just having aplication sent to sd card memory,
does the sd card just work like say,,an external usb hard drive for a computer except you can put some inatalled application on it,,,,,but nothing like media,,photos videos etc?
or is it just me?
cheers
Your phone aka tab is divided into parts
System arnd 2 gigs
SDCARD arnd 14 gigs
System works as space for system
Sd as your sd card - Flashing doesn't destroy data on this
And if you place another SD card then it is termed as external_sd
So primary storage for you phone is SD Which is its own space
PS : there is usb storage folder (in sd card directory) also which is for your pendrives, etc

there are a lot more partitions than the 2 you mentioned!
efs
system (~1GB)
data (~2GB)
hidden
...
as far as i remember the note has 8 or 9 partitions (all of them have to be
subtracted from the initial 16gig (unformated!! formated it will be significantly less) storage!
so from your 16gigs you should see around 11GB as free mem on '"sdcard"!
i can't tell exactly because i have the 32gb internal version. with it a little more than 25,5GB are shown as "total" available (not free) storage!
as mentioned above
the rom has 1gb partition
data/system has 2gb
rest is used for sd card purposes around about 11.8gb
the device sees the internal memory as sd memory, the external sd card is seen under /external_sd
the file mangers will automatically go directly to the internal storage when browsing
i understand that I get about 12 GB left from 16 internally but.....
what can I actually do with the external_sd?
I cant load jpeggs onto sketchbook mobile at the moment. Reaally annoying
Any reason as to why it wouldn't recognize files in the external_sd?
Also we were saying about partitins and other random folder in the phone SD and external sd? anyone got a referrl to which ones can be deleted and generally how to make the phone and external sd card more navigation friendly?
please this would be really helpful
external_sd is your physical micro sd card, you can do what you want with it, i personally have all my music and movies on there
what files are you putting on the card?

[Q] Issue with 64GB SD card in Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500

Hello
I own Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 and it is rooted. I recently purchased a class 10 Sandisk Micro SD card with 64 GB capacity. I was very happy that I did but my happiness did not last long when I have come to know that 3rd party apps do not have write permission in Kitkat. After some research I was successful to make the SD card writable to 3rd party apps by modifying the permissions.xml file.
Everything seems to be fine at this time but it was not actually. The SD card when seen under storage in settings would show me that it is mounted with 62.5 GB capacity and 60 GB free. But when I try to browse the files in SD card, there are nothing. Apps saved in SD card do not open and I am also unable to capture images from camera to SD card storage.
I thought may be unmounting the SD card and mounting it back would work and it worked but after a while the same problem. My device shows that it has mounted an SD card but cannot access anything saved in it. So, I have to unmount and mount SD card every time and this is very much annoying.
Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you for your time.

Thank you for your reply.
Yes. It is Ex FAT format. Which format should I format it to? Ex FAT or just the FAT format.
It is not about applications. The card just gets undetected after some time and nothing can be accessed including music and images. I have to unmount it and mount again for the device to detect the SD card.
Format your SD Card on your phone its self. Go to settings, storage and than SD Card and format it.

By doing this I will only be able to use my SD card for installing apps & nothing else, it'll not let me store anything else on SD card & thats why I am not formatting the SD card as internal.

No Access to SD Card Please Help

16gb isnt enough, bought a 64gb sandisk sd card but after inserting it in and setting up as portable storage, my phone cant write files to it??? I have to use a special browser with root access just to delete some pics. On my old phones it had a directory name like "sdcard1" but on this it has "9DAE-180F". Its recognizing it like a otg usb drive. Which i think is my mistake cuz i chose "setup as portable storage"
Now i have a lot of data on my sd card which would be a pain in the ass to backup and then retry formatting as internal storage. So what i wanna know is will it have proper sd card access for all normal apps and behave like a normal sd card like all other phones i ever used? Or am i just gonna waste time trying out all this.and formatting wouldnt work?

I believe in MM and above we have to explicitly allow apps to access the external storage. check your gallery/photo app permissions and see if access to 'storage' is enabled
Update: i backed up all the data and when i formatted the card as an internal storage it extends the internal storage. Which solved the issue . But when i remove the sd card and connect it seperately some files show up and some dont. U dont know if the files is weather stored in internal or external storage which i dont care about anyways cuz im never getting the sd card out of the phone again. Lovin it

android will encrypt the sd card if you set it as internal storage and you won't be able to access the content outside the phone, so if your phone goes crazy or bricked, there's high chance that you'll lose your files forever

Damn man. This ****ty phone sucks.
2,3 days since I formatted as internal and now suddenly the sd card disappeared. IDK what happened. I was just browsing net and then there was the notification saying "sandisk sd card removed, please reinsert this device"
It just finished disappeared. Now it doesn't connect to anything tried reinserting , connecting to pc but no luck.
I'm sick and tired of this ****. I just wanna use the frikkin phone.
Thought I should restore via twrp but my backup was in sd card and twrp is also not detecting it.
Is there any way I can get my sd card working again?
After sdcard is fixed I'm gonna throw this piece of **** in a lake or something.
Please give me a solution anyone.
I had important data on that card.
It's a sandisk sd card 64gb
