Move apps to USB storage

Hi
I will swap memories on my Ace 2.
But I would know how to move apps on USB storage (which will be my SD Card).
If i part my sd card in ext2, can I make 2 partitions (9GB & 5GB) ? And does Link2SD will "know" that my USB Storage is my SD Card?
Thanks

1: In system settings select apps/[name]/"move to SD", or in Link2SD use the button with the same name. This moves part of the app to the internal (external after swapping) FAT partition and doesn't work for every app.
2: In Link2SD use the "symlink" features and the app will always go to the external ext2/3/4 partition.

[Q] Swap SD Card with internal Storage

I am running low on storage on my S4 mini, and with CM11 that doesn't allow moving apps to the SD card things are getting worse.
Samsung has formatted the device is such a way that the internal storage is recognised as "sdcard0", I don't know why they did it and I don't care.
Is there a way to swap my internal storage with my sd card? I have a 32gb class 10 sd card and i think it is more than enough for use as internal storage.
Thanks

"link to sd"
and the app to enable the external storage in the apps is called "handle external storage" it's an xposed module

[Q] Swap internal and external memory on P6

Help!
I'm running out of memory on my phone!
I only have like 400 mb available on my internal memory but nearly
28 gb on my SD card. But despite that the asks well not download onto that
and I've moved all the "movable" apps into the SD card. So here's the question:
Does anyone know how to make the phone "think" that the external SD card is the internal memory and the provided 4 gb that you can use is the external.
Thanks in advance.

Which rom are you using? In B512 I have the "default storage location" option, and I can change SD card or internal memory.

Option available on KitKat?

So you're on KitKat right (b512) ? And you can swap them?
But do the apps fully download onto the external memory and that annoying
"Insufficient memory" message doesn't appear?
K I'll try it out and see.

Application data is on the SD card, but application is in internal memory.
If you want move applications into SD card, you should use "Link2SD" (require root).

Having 32 GB = no difference then then

I tried using Links2SD before but didn't work. Am i using it wrong, is if so how do you do so? Even so if some part of the app I'd stored in the internal memory then that still means that i can download a small number of apps due to the small space. How do you switch the memories if possible. But how could i move pictures and videos to the SD card (quite done memory is taken up - check previous screenshot) ?
Thanks.

Enhance internal storage with SD card

Is there any chance that I can upgrade the internal storage with SD card by e.g. mouting it in a specific way?
My internal space is full and it askes me always deleting apps, but moving apps with FireTV or AppMgr to SD is not always an option.
Thank you for your hints or ideas!

If you use Kodi (which can be very big & hog loads of your internal data) use this to move it to a external sd card or USB stick - http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-partially-or-entirely-move-kodi-data-to-external-usb-storage/

External micro SD card: formatting as internal or portable.

Hi,
Recently I installed LineageOS 14.1 (unofficial build lineage-14.1-20171029-1955-d10f-UNOFFICIAL.zip). My phone is the Pentagram Monster X5 Pro, which has internal storage of 789MB (visible as portable) and quite low system space (~400MB) for applications.
When I configured the storage I got an option to format it as:
a) internal
When I formatted as internal my app space increased. On one of the screens it was told that I can copy the content on that storage by going to Settings > Storage. When I went there I could not see the internal storage, so no way to copy the content to the sd card formatted as internal storage. Also from the camera I cannot select this storage as it is not selectable.
Result: Big space for application, but very small space for media (as it still uses the internal sdcard of 798MB).
Is this a bug in the LineageOS?
b) portable
So I formatted as portable media hoping that I can move the apps to the external sd card. This can be done, but not all the apps will allow me to move to the sd card and not all the data can be moved. It still leaves some part in the internal system storage, which shrinks the available space to the point that updates of the applications cannot be done due to the lack of space.
Result: Big space for media, but out of space for apps updates.
So I was thinking to use the Link2SD app, where they suggested partitioning the external SD card into 2 primary partitions (1’st with FAT32, 2’nd with Ext3). I did that using AParted application, but after that LineageOS refused to use such media displaying that both cards (partitions) are corrupted and it offered to format them. After formatting the whole sd card became FAT32 and the second partition was gone.
Is there a way to partition and format the external SD card in some way so it will be accepted by LineageOS?

Zaxon
P.S. I had some screenshots, but I cannot post links yet.
