I like my camera storing on the internal, but I want to back my pictures up to something other than DropBox. I've used about 4gb of the internal card, also, I have a 32 gb card that I don't use, thanks to google play. So, with all this unused space, I would like to store my pictures in both my internal and external cards.
Is there option for storing on both or an application to link the two directories? or an automated file copy/transfer that anyone could recommend?
Grab es file explorer and just copy from internal to your sd card. It has batch file capabilities so its pretty simple or try Titanium backup and just back up to your sd card. Thanks.
Both of these apps can be found in the play store for free.

Just got my GS2 today and I must say this is the easiest phone I have rooted to date! I have been working my way around the OS and found that apps are not seeing my files on my External SD Card. Is there a way to sort of sync these? I guess I dont mean sync, but have apps search both internal and external storage for files? Take beautiful widgets, I have a ton of images on the ex sd card. When I launch the app to apply one of those images it looks in phone storage and gives no option to search the ex sd card.
Thanks

easiest thing would to move everything to the internal sd card. i dont like how the phone sees SD card (internal) then from there i have to navigate to the folder called 'external sd' to look at my microSD files.

Exactly, but what good is it to have an external card if the apps dont use it? If I have to move everything to the internal card, what can I put on the external card and be able to use/access? None of my apps recognize the external card, lol.
i use my external sdcard for music & movie business and use the internal for everything else. i sync back & forth between pc & cell a lot so having a CLEAN (aka, none of those extra android folders) sdcard makes browsing and syncing much easier, cleaner, and organized. also, without that android bloat i can tell exactly how much goodies i have just by looking at the size of external sdcard
ps: external sdcard is more or less just a subdir on the internal sdcard.... its /sdcard/external_sd if i remember correctly.
i just slap my movie files onto thte internal sd since i delete them afterwards... didnt realize 16 gb is a lot of space lol
I removed some movies from the internal memory but when i go to storage, the available free space is the same as when the movies where there. I held the movie file down and selected delete when the pop up menu came up.
Any suggestions to clear the inetrnal memory or do i need to format the usb storage which will delete everything from internal memory?
Thanks,

i have a question about memory on my phone..
SD card = 7.40GB / 5.38GB free
INternalStorage = 6.4GB / 6.17GB Free?

Use a file explorer like Astro or ES File Explorer to manually place files (pics, movies, music) on the internal memory. Otherwise, plug your phone into a computer and place the files onto the internal memory. Courtesy of HTC, apps save to the "Phone Memory" using 150 mb's of the 748 mb. The main alternate save location for apps is the sd card thus the reason there is a "Move to sd card" option within each app's settings under "Settings/Applications/Manage Applications."

i have done it threw the computer before.. and i have a file manager.. but it only see the one SD card.. the extrnal one..
the computer sees the 2 Different Cards..
but when i try to find the internal SD card threw a file managers on the phone i can not see where it is.. i see it in settings... but when ever i try to use a file manager or ap manager it only gives me the external card to move aps to?
The 6 GB's of internal memory is listed as "emmc" and is inaccessible only if the rom dev says so. I'm not sure you are searching for the proper term, are you able to see "emmc" within your file manager? I took a look at Wildstang's Desired HD thread and his latest version supports emmc (internal memory). If I recall correctly, earlier versions did not have access to internal GB (the 6GB's of space) because the port is from a phone with no internal storage but this is no longer the case. You should be able to move photos, videos, music to emmc especially since you said have access to it via your computer.
1) Are you on his latest update?
2) What specifically are you asking for help with (moving apps or simply accessing that space)?
Edit: For moving apps, the most I know is that you can move apps to sd or back to your phone. In regards to expanding the 150mb partition of your internal memory, I have no experience doing so. Hopefully someone else can provide input on this.

thank you for the explanation..
i beleave i am running the latest version. (V.5) of Wildstang
yeah i was just wondering if there was a way to move contacts and aps to that internal memory so the other phone memory would be less crowded and maybe run smoother.
i dont understand how this memory is being used.. there is an internal SD memory.. that i guess is partitioned.. and the smaller partition is used for all the functions of the phone? what is the larger partition used for then?
so i can drop images and music to that section then from the PC
and put aps on the external SD only..
I believe I misinformed you, the 748mb's of of phone storage is all for apps. Im trying to recall where and why I got 150 mb's from.
748 mb = app storage
6.x gb of internal storage (emmc) = Whatever you want to save (music, videos, photos)
7.4 gb sd card = save music, videos, some apps, photos
Hope that clarifies appropriately.
But to use the internal storage, just copy and paste movie or music files to the emmc (if using file explorer on your phone) or using your computer into either "Mp3" folder or "Video" on the Internal memory. I don't play movies on my phone so I don't have experience with that at all. You'll know which is the internal memory vs. Sd card memory if you just look at the space available to identify one from the other.
I put a 16M SD card on my note II. it looks like only photo and video switch to this Card. how could I switch other apps' data storage to the external SD card?
Such as evernote and donwloaed Googld Music ... and so on. many thanks
There are two ways to transfer apps from internal storage to external SD
1)go to Settings>Applications, and select each app into "move to external sd"
But not all apps support this.
2)second way is only for rooted phones. Install titanium backup. And select "move user apps to external sd card" and can be applied to ALL apps.
One more question the phone seems to store the screenshots and snote exports to internal memory..

Hi all. Just got myself a SanDisk 64GB uhs1 memory card. Do any of you know how to transfer all my pics, vids, etc to the card? And how do I get everything to save to the card from now on instead of internal memory? Im stock rooted btw. Any help is greatly appreciated

To move vids and pics go to your my files app, select the files or folders amd move them to your sd card. Not sure how to automatically make them go there.

For pictures, go into settings when you are in the camera app, and tell it to save to your external microSD, should be apparent in the settings where this is set. Regarding moving the rest, I personally like using Root Explorer to move files around, especially when moving quite a few files. It's pretty self explanatory once you use it.
Now, to take this a step further, I use Titanium Backup Pro and have moved some of my larger programs off the internal memory and run them from my microSD card, to save even more space on the internal memory. Haven't had any problems running any of my games off the external microSD.
An even easier way to move files is to install the drivers for the phone from the samsung site, and simply do this in windows. One drive will be labeled "phone", the other will be labeled "card".
And make sure your 50 gb dropbox account is saving to your new microSD as well.
when you take a pic or open the camara ask you if you want to save youe pic on the sd card
and to move then just go to my file a select the file you want to move and move it to sd card
Hi!
Recently I bought a 32GB MicroSD card, and put it in my LG G4.
Unfortunately, I had no way to combine both Internal and external storage..
so my question is: how do I make my 32GB internal and 32GB external storage of my phone to 64GB internal?
Or even make the phone automatically save data (system, photos, music, apps etc..) on the MicroSD card when the space of the internal storage is running out?
Thank you,
Good day
1. Combining both into one is not possible.
2. You can setup the camera to save to the sdcard by going into settings within the camera. Music also can be saved to the sdcard, but that depends on what your using go download/stream with. For example, Google Play Music allows you to download/cache to external. You may also manually move data from internal to external quickly with the built-in file explorer. I tend to use the sdcard before using the internal data.

link2sd could help you out with gaining additional space. it works much like the a2sd from the evo days. it puts apps and data on the ext4 partition of the external sd card and frees up space on the internal. May not be exactly what you want, but it could be an option. you can find it in the play store

First, thank you for answering
Now, there's an option that when theres no space in internal it will automatically start saving all data on external?

I believe it does once you set it to do so.
