Is it possible?

Is it possible for some1 to post here the original file explorer from android?
My problem is that all aplications dont use the internal memory, such as camera (specially videos...), music players, and so on... I have to install everything on external mem card wich is kinda slower, making my phone have crappy performance.
or, is there any way to make apps use my internal memory?

This should be asked in the general section... anyways, some ROMs allow you to use internal and external SD card, for example, cm7, but most apps use external SD for accessing and storing data. You still can use internal SD to store files, and browse them with any file explorer (it doesn't matter if it's the original android file explorer).

i got ur point, but this is also some pray for the rom makers to implement the stuff to make it possible to acess stuff on internal memory.
For example, none of the music players i tried acess internal memory (we cant set the folder and auto scan doesnt acess it either) wich sucks.
Also, any1 got the music player with the equalizer (wanted to use SRS WOW like on stock roms) wich isnt present on most cooked roms)?

If they were stored in external card then easily you can get those back but if in internal memory then I’ve no idea, an expert may help you.
If stored in external card then google it for a free file recovery software, take the card out and plug it with a memory card reader and run the software to recover those files. Make sure after you deleted those files you shouldn’t store or write the memory card, do as less as possible. If the partition where the files were stored, if that overwrite it could goes difficult to recover.
If in internal memory then if you can mount the internal memory as a usb drive, Not as a Media Device. Then probably you can do the same with that software. But I’m not sure about that, never tried.
Also look for any apps for android if available, i’m not sure.

- 1st of all, do not make any changes to the storage, i.e do not copy or edit any files ...
- 2nd, try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.undelete

Kitkat - No SD card ??

I am buying my phone tommorow (Currently using Note1 with JB)... and I have heard today tht Kitkat doesn't support writing to SD card.
Now I don't wana Root hence is I possible to break this write restriction ?
My main concern/query is: I store all my music on my SD card and always Store all my pics/videos taken from phone camera on SD card -- So is this functionality still there OR not ?
PS: Plz see post #4

kitKat support writing to SD Card, but not with 3rd party Apps .
With Root You Can .

Why no root, without root access you have a crippled phone.

Hmm.... I got to read a few more stuff abt kitkat problems...
1] Third party (Chinese) S-view covers don't work after kitkat upgrade, which now apparently fixed.
2] Samsung has an solved an issue that prevented writing to external storage (SD) after updating to KitKat.
Can you ppl confirm the above. If yes, I can happily upgrade without any issues.

Your music, pictures, videos can be stored in SD card, root is not necessary

That is almost true. My files won't show you any folders you created on SD card for specific people. If you create a folder for Fred and put all pictures of Fred in it, you can see it in My files extSd. But if you create a folder called Fred Videos, you won't find it in My files. So if you have downloaded a video to internal memory, first you have to move it in the Fred folder and in Gallery then you can move it again to Fred Video. I tend to find this weird.

I've got all my music, films, comics, magazines and pictures (not photo's!) on my SDcard. They all play perfectly well. JB doesn't allow write to the SD. Reading has never been blocked.
Stock camera takes pictures to the SD. Keep in mind 4.4.2 has a tendency to corrupt the pictures on the SD card. It's why I prefer to keep those internal.
Quickpic has no issue writing to the SD, neither does ES File Explorer.

Have you ever heard of this remarkably useful app. It's called ES File Explorer.... Who the hell uses the severely sluggish and limited My Files?

If you have rooted your phone, then download and use SDFix app from playstore. Then you can use your sd card as usual

Use folder mount

Alrite ! After reading the above I clearly understand that Photos/Videos/Music stored on SD can be read without issues
One more thing, Can large popular games like - Real Racing 3, NFS series etc.. can be transferred/updated on SD card as well ?

Can't copy or move files on SD card (unrooted)

I can't copy or move (but I can delete or rename) files and folders on / from the SD card (SanDisk 8GB) of my unrooted Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (SM-G531F) with Android 5.1.1. I still can create, rename or delete files and folders.
I tried with My files and ES File Explorer, then I formatted the card in phone and with SD Formatter.
With my PC I can copy or move files or folders on / from the SD card.
I changed the SD card with one similar from my Asus TF-101 tablet and the same phone problems occur, but the phone SD card works normally in tablet!
Many thanks in advance!

I'll try.

Please don't reset your whole phone, it won't solve the problem anyways.
With the advent of 5.1.1 Google added a new Media Security Protocol. The affect is that any app that doesn't have root securities can not move or copy files between Int and Ext storage, except those they generate.
The good news is that I know of a FREE file manager that can get around the problem by hooking into Androids Storage Access Framework.
One small problem is that the setting turns itself off frequently, so you have to go back in and turn it back on.
The better news is that it's footprint is only a little bit bigger than 'My Files' and it has a massive amount of capabilities and settings which are 100% configurable.
Enough of the suspense, "Ghost Commander"
Good luck, it's not for the weak of mind.
P.S. To get to the switch;
Top right three dot menu
Location
Home
Storage Access Framework
and search out the Mother directory of your Ext card, then select.

I know this is late but i just had this problem on my note 5.
Try installing / SandiskMemoryZone.Apk should let you move pics and files then.

Cannot Manually Add files to internal Storage SD Card, but Apps can be transfered

I'm having a rather unique problem with my the Micro SD card I installed.
I can format it as internal storage and it won't pop up for file managers or my computer.
This means I can't manually move files to it all.
Despite that when it's internal storage I can move apps to it and it adds new apps to it by default.
I could go to move all and move everything it can on, but it's a fairly slow SD card so I'm hoping to mainly put music, videos and any pictures on there.
I worry about it moving the apps that I want to keep in internal storage for speed over.
Does anyone know how I could fix this?
EDIT:
I didn't manage to figure out how to add files manually while it was internal storage through either internal file managers or through the computer.
But I did manage to find the SD card while it was portable.
The trick is to use the built in file explorer on the phone and copy a small file onto the SD card.
With there being something other than just Android files on the SD card it can then be discovered by the computer.
This mainly solves my problem as I plan to use it primarily for storage of music and game files, with the emulators being on the phone itself.

I had this issue a few days ago. You have 2 options to format, (1) as a internal storage and only your phone can read this and other option (2)to use on others devices. Using the second option I managed to transfer files to my microSD like it used to be.
While using the first option I was able only to transfer apps to it through the system.
I hope it helps

I'm using one, but I'm not even able to find it with File Manager?
Is that normal for Internal Storage?
I expected there to at least be a folder in the normal phone space called SD card or something?
Is there no way to manually move music there when it's internal storage?
Also I tried changing it to be portable but my computer still couldn't see it.
File manager could actually see it and open it but I couldn't copy paste anything to it.
So I turned it back to internal as I can at least move apps to it successfully at the moment.

When I tried as Internal Storage any File Manager found my SDcard too... Thats why I'm using as portable.
After that, i could see this.
Maybe you're missing something like changing the USB connection from Charging to File transfering.
Did you checked this?

Yes it can see the rest of my phone and move files, so I've made sure to change it to file transferring.
When you used internal storage file managers failed to find your SD card as well?

Here your saying that you could find it and that's why you swapped over?
I assume you forgot to say it failed to show up separately and that's why you changed to portable.

Sorry! Yes, I failed to find my SD card too, thats why i changed to portable.
Im assuming this is a normal behavior, my last Android phone was a Galaxy S2 and I stopped following Android changes for the lasts 4/5 years. But idk why you can't see it even in portable mode... That should work as worked for me.
Hope someone help you more than I did!

Thank you for trying to help.
I think I might have figured out part of the problem, the file explorer I normally use doesn't have permission to add anything to the SD card. I'm not sure how I would go about giving it permission though.
But when I use the system built in I was able to copy paste some music onto it.
With a file on the SD Card my computer was able to locate it as well, and I can now copy and paste to the SD card using my computer.
So with your help I was able to figure out how to get portable working.
It is a bit disappointing that there isn't a way to manually add files while it is an internal storage though.
So again while your solution didn't directly work, it made me think and find a solution to my problem even if it's not the one I wanted.
