3-is there anyway to stop system to automatic read your Sdcard or external sd card for PICS,MUSIC and Videos?can i give path to system to read only my allowed folders of pics,music and videos?
thanx
much appreciated
1) Not quite. Not yet. However, it may be possible to make the system treat the external SD card as internal memory. See the thread [MOD][ICS/JB/CM10]ExtSd2InternalSd v3.1|Increase your data storage|100% Working| and decide if you want to try that solution.
2) Don't know about CM. Not yet (that I know of) with stock fw.
3) Place a file named ".nomedia" in the directories you want to exclude.

I'm read already for this post, but the problem my int memory and ext memory not FAT 32 formatted but generic hierarchical...it's ok to change the format? and not broke the phone
Leave the internal as is. For external SD card I would recommend this: Unmount it in phone and take it out. Put it in card reader on PC or laptop and copy anything on it you need (music, pictures, videos, files) if there are any. Then format using a PC/laptop to FAT32. This will erase all data on it, thats why you should copy anything on it you need to restore later.
Now that you formatted your external SD card to FAT32, you can copy files back (if tehre were any) so music, videos, pictures, files etc. When done, put the SD card back into phone. IT will detect it and scan and the card is now mounted. Check under Settings -> Storage that you can see it there or with a file manager.
Now once this is done follow my instructions in my thread. Should work.
Any way to truly move apps to the external SD card?
I have just recnetly learned that moving apps "to the SD card" in the settings>apps menu doesnt truly move them to the external SD card.
Why is that?
I dont have many apps yet, but it seems the apps i do have slowly get larger and larger as i use them and they save user data. (game progress for example).
Id like to know that I could at least move things that i dont care how fast they load to a truly external SD card (along with my wallpapers, ringtones, etc)
Even if theres a manual way via USB, thats cool. Just hoping someone with more than about a months worth of experience with a captivate glide (or really, i guess any phone that by default wont let you) could give some advice.
thanks!

You have sd card integrated to the board, its not true sd card. You can swap internal sd to external sd, then you can use same move function to use external micro sd card as application storage.

So theres no way to just manually tell it to move there without messing up whats already on the internal storage?
The Android system still has no option to move app to external sd. You can copy everything from internal (built-in) sd to external and apply change-fstab.zip to make Android think that your external sd is internal and vice versa. Works on every 4.4 rom. No performance drawbacks if using class 10 sd card. Worked for me flawlessly and thanks to bubor for this great feature.
And for manually... There's an app called Link2SD. It's some sort of workaround. You make second partition on your external SD and move apps there, leaving links for Android system on your internal storage. You can find it in google market, be sure to read instructions first.

I remember trying link2sd on a friends tablet recently. it recognized certain apps as moveable, but when i actually tried to move them (on an SD that i had already partitioned) it said failure every time.
But im not sure i want to switch my storage entirely. I would just like to allow, say another 4 gigs on my SD card (with the other 4 being for wallpapers, ringtones, etc). i have an 8 gig card right now.
Then you should try link2sd here. Basically, no other options, unless you wish to emulate Link2SD work with some scripts and move apps manually. I saw some patches for Lenovo phones to combine internal storage or something like that, but they will not work on Glide obviously.
Hello,
Phone: Samsung galaxy grand i9080L.
Now the question:
Am i able to make a single partition of internal storage? Because the phone came with 8 gb but it have 2 partitions on the internal memory, "System" and "Internal SD" , I just wanna a single one to control better things and as if i move to "SD" Its going to the internal SD and the external (MicroSD) Is not on use -_-

You cannot use the system partition as it's reserved for the OS.Don't mess up with it, doing so may/will brick your phone If you are on Stock or ANY ROM with App2SD support you can move apps to External SD Card. Check whether your ROM supports App2SD or not.

I can't, that's why, app2sd move em' to "sdcard0" which means (in my phone) emulated/0/ (Folder) and not to the external sd card. Already tryied many ways and still same, and well so.
What i wanted to do? as "system" is the internal storage i wanted to merge it with "emulated" which is the internal storage but in a partition to emulate a External SD Card so if its only 1 internal storage the microSD will work as it should work, because on my older phone(Ice mobile apollo touch) I was able to see apps, data, etc, on microsd as only had 1 internal storage.. Now as the sdcard is even in the internal , the external is empty. Its a problem too for cracked applications that need data/obb.

4.2.2 supossed to be stock, downloaded from sammobile to my operator/country as my ROM was literaly "f*ck*d" for a stupid thing i did so.
I just searched GT-i9080L and the latest android(4.2.2) was the one i downloaded, btw, the partition came with the phone, wasn't made by me or a rom and also, the phone didn't come new, i bought it from 2nd hand.
In Grand Internal memory will be shown as sdcard0 and External memory will be shown as sdcard1. Is external storage i.e. Sdcard1 mounting for you?

If i use a explorer i can only see 2. SDCard and internal memory, if i search through internal memory i'll find a folder called emulated, inside, another called 0, inside, all the things that should be on sdcard, which means that this "emulated" emulates a sdcard inside the phone. and yeah, external sd = sdcard1.
internal sd(emulated) = sdcard0
internal memory = internal memory o.o
External is actually /extSdcard on stock ROMs afaik.

I know right, but it isn't used as Sdcard, the sdcard that it uses its a emulated sdcard INSIDE the internal memory.

Help plz,
We can use Large storage!!!
If you are OK with rooting your device, you can use Link2SD and Foldermount to use your External SD card. you just need to flash Init.d support mod after rooting. then install Link2SD and/or Foldermount

Yeah I'm using FolderMount but I want every app's downloaded files be in EXT_sd.
Everytime I organize my files, it's too bothersome.
the new Link2SDplus does it all
How can you guys get it working? Mine says that there is mo partition on the sd card or insufficient storage even though I still have 10+gb on the sd card and 2+gb on the phone and doesnt move it

Link2SD needs a specific EXT formatted partition on your external SD in order to work. follow a Link2SD installation guide..
In what way does rooting free up the external SD card's capabilities?
Thanks.

None that I know of. Possibly allowing some apps to move to uSD. Allows Root Explorer to do more but other than that, none I know of.
I thought I'd read somewhere that rooting the Tab S allows the user to write (whatever that means?) to the external SD card instead of it defaulting to the internal SD card when unrooted.
There is an edit you can make to the build prop file to allow direct writes to the SD card. Definitely need to be rooted to do this. Additionally there are some apps that will allow you to move programs / large data file to the SD card and execute from there. Foldermount is an example of an app that I use to move large files to external SD card. It only works if rooted.

One of the advantages of rooting indeed. I have noticed though the camera app on my T800 defaults to writing (saving) pictures to the uSD which is surprising (but welcome). I have several apps that require root and plan of rooting once 5.01 is officially released.
If you use FolderMount it should automatically add the require permission to the platform.xml in \system\etc\permissions when it starts for the first time. The free version let's you move 3 folders to the SD card to free up room on the internal storage. This will usually affect loading times on those games though as access speeds are much lower.
I think you were pointing to an update of Android where it is no longer possible to do a write on external sd. This is an update that happened on Kitkat 4.4.2 I believe.
