if you want space specifically so that you can play/install more then 1 hd games, then use gl to sd...it will move ur game data from phone to memory card and all you have to do is open gl sd app and Mount game and play...... that way you can have as many games you want.. i have fifa14 mc4 and asphalt 8 @ same time.. thanks to this app ..
hope i helped.....

swapping method only works in JB 4.1.2 not in 4.4(CM11) or OFFCIAL JB 4.2.2 as the workaround is that you can download GL2SD which actually mounts the particular folder for you to play the game with data on external SD card...but remember before installing any game you have to have to place data FIRST in internal sd card then TRANSFER the data through and only through the APP(gl2sd) and game will work fine..
don't forget the thanks button..

thanks a lot, but now im using folder mount, i believe its has same function as gl to sd, where can mount installed hd games to sd card, hehehhee, now i have fifa2014, and 3 more hd games, thanks :laugh:
I know there are many devices out there which don't allow this, but is there a workaround to get this working on my LG G Pad 8.3?
My device is rooted.
16gb is just not enough memory these days to have all the apps and games you want on the device at the same time. i have a 64gb external card and would love to use this space for app data.
I know there is a workaround where you can move the data you need to the external card and move it back when you want to use the app but in this day and age it seems ridiculous to have to do that!
any help would be greatly appreciated

ok, I just installed that.
It shows NFS Most Wanted (for example) as movable. When I click "move to sd card" i get the message "App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage whcih is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to your sd card."
so i click ok to that, go back to my list of apps, long press on the app and click "create link" and it gives me the following message "secondary partition not found. make sure you have 2 partitions on your sd card and both are primary"
...now i dont know what to do...sorry

I had to format my SD card using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. I tried making the 2nd primary partition EXT2 format and it didn't work. I ended up having to use FAT32 format instead. Here's the guide I used:

ok, looks like I am gonna have to find some spare time to do this.
Not sure why anyone would want to restrict you to use Internal memory only on their device as it only makes it worth less....
Will this change naturally when an official 4.4.2 is released for this device?
Thanks for all your help

I have no idea. From what I hear, apps won't perform quite as good if they're on the external storage. If that's the case, they may be afraid that it will ruin the user experience. I just put apps that don't demand a ton of performance on my SD card so I can't verify if that's true.
But I like choices, so I wish they'd make it easier with a notice that performance may suffer or something. Also, Google is behind Android, and they want you storing data in the cloud, not on your device. That's why none of the Nexus devices have external storage.

well storing data in the cloud is fine as long as its not data thats needed to run apps. one step forward 2 steps back!
this device is perfect (and IMO the best in its size at the moment) apart from 2 things
1) this sd issue right here
2) they should have given it an AMOLED screed instead of LCD

ok, I found some time to sit down and do this, but before I got started I had a quick read of the instructions.
Am I correct in saying that the maximum I can make this partition to install apps on is 2gb? If that is the case then its not even worth doing as my card is 64gb...
......Ooooor is it the case that the 1st partition has to be 2gb but i can use the rest of the card to install apps??
thanks in advance

i am referring to the link you gave me. the instructions state not to make the partition larger than 2gb.
FolderMount is more what you want. It does not require a special format, and it moves the data which is what really takes up the space. For example Bards Tale has over 3.5GB of data, and it moves ALL of that. The applications themselves hardly take up any space. It even survives rom updates like updating CM11 nightlies for example. I uninstalled Link2SD. It didn't move much, and caused problems when I did ROM updates.

C0BRA01 you are a legend!!
Tried, tested and confirm working on my V500 with NFS Most Wanted!!
One thing i noticed though is that the program "Disk Usage" still picks it up as data on device even though it is not there. Used SD card analyst in ES File explorer with root permissions and data is not on device.
This is fantastic!! i now have a potential 64gb of space!!
Hello folks, long time reader first time poster here.
I was looking around on the net and I'm unable to solve a bizzare issue with USB otg. I have a rooted but stock nexus 7 2nd version, and can use USB otg fine I guess, but here's the problem.
No matter what the size of said USB pen, it's always registered as the same size as the tablet storage. I can't understand this at all and nobody seems to have had this problem so far as I can tell. Done various formatting with apps but its always 12gb like the internal SD. Any advice would be very welcome as I'd very much like to use all of my space on a USB stick haha

I also use stickmount app, it would not show in the storage in settings on stock rom but on a custom rom since they have enabled that feature by default and kernel should support that feature to make it native, they have it under the storage settings but when using stickmount u will see that the misc storage increases and if u click on that u will find usb storage.

Always says the same storage as the SD, but at least I can use the whole 64gb a couple GB at a time. Just seems to be an error in the system not detecting size beyond 12GB. So as soon as you move a folder of various videos, for example, at say a total of 6gb, it'll scream "noooo not enough space!". But if I do file by file its totally fine. Oh well

I haven't tried to copy a big file such as 6gb but I use my 16gb pendrive with it and it works fine mainly I copy my nandroid backups of around 2-3 gb. Try a different file browser maybe a problem with that btw Can u tell me what is the file format and size of a single file not a folder and also have u fomatted ur sd card in ntfs or fat 32

Well it was a folder of a selection of files like I said before. About 1 to 2gb videos, my USB pen is 64gb and fat32 format right now as it seems to work the best. ES file explorer is the file browser I use. Like I said at the start, so far as I can tell, I can use all 64gb just fine but only 12 is "registered" as being available, same size as the onboard SD. So long as I move things in 1 to 2gb amounts its fine. Try to do multiple files or one big file and its "No space left"

Hi!
Sorry if that's been asked before, my search yielded no results.
Because of the low memory on the AFTV, caching a movie (4gb+) is not possible.
When selecting cache folder as an external memory folder (mounted using Stickmount) to /sdcard/usbstorage/sd** I'm getting "Video File Too Big" error.
After alot of googling it should correspond with no writing permissions to this path (as long as the sd indeed have enough space - it does)...
Did anyone succeed to watch a movie on Popcorn Time on the Fire TV?
The card is NTFS.
Thanks!
I have been able to watch movies without any issues. My ext usb powered hd is fat32. You can also try with ext.
How to install Popcorn Time
So does popcorn time work perfectly on the fire tv? What are the steps to get it installed and working properly?
1- sideload popcorn time apk?
2- Does it need a mouse and keyboard or will the remote work?
3- Does it need external storage for the cache?
Thanks!

Are you using StickMount to mount the drive?
And did you change the path of the cache folder to it?

Sideload the android version.
Needs a mouse.
Caching depends on how much free space you got on the AFTV... you may use internal memory and SHOULD (read my post) be able to use External HD as well.
Hi everyone,
I see connecting USB via OTG to Firestick 4K doesn't allow it to be converted as internal storage unlike other Android devices.
Which is obviously every firestick owner must be looking for to expand the Internal storage.
A humble request to all the Android Developers here.. Could you please find a solution to this?
Thanks in advance
I was able to get it to work by following this tutorial, it allows you to have part of the USB as internet and another part external. Apps seem to run a little slower, but still work fine.
After formatting USB correctly I used the app2sd app
to move apps to adoptable storage, as the firestick doesn't have a migrate option built in.

Can you please provide a step by step guide ?
In apps2sd , when you select a app to move, it just takes you to the firestick --- settings --- manage apps section. There is no option there to move any apps to USB.
Can you link the app you used please ?
Sent you a PM as well.
Thanks[
In app2sd you click on link apps to SD card. Then click on the app you want to move. Then click the menu button in the top right corner, and click move to adoptable, or move to SD, I'm not sure which it was.

Apps2SD is working pretty well for me if I only use the file linking option, not Adoptable stoarage. My device has more room and feels faster than when using adoptable storage. I also don't like that it changes your default install location to external.
*On a rooted firestick 4k, flash this kernel to get f2fs access.
*Backup your files to a computer disk drive.
*Format your USB drive into 2 partitions: 1. Storage (fat32) 2. Extended (f2fs).
**I used Gparted while booted into the FireISO USB drive I made to unlock the bootloader and root the Firestick. You can also do it in Apps2SD but I had trouble with it.
**I made my first partiton 105Gb, and second 10Gb.
*Attach the USB drive to the Firestick and install Apps2SD apk. Open it and go into Settings. Change dev/block option to say "/dev/block/sda" without quotes.
*Back out of settings and go to the top optioin: Link Apps to SD. Then open the icon menu in the Left corner. Choose Recreate Mount Script. Say OK and Yes to all prompts. Wait until the script is successfully created. Reboot.
*Last link some apps to your SD card. I don't suggest system apps or anything that accesses system apps like Titanium Backup. For apps that slow down a lot (your browser), link everything EXCEPT the Data folders. This is often the largest folder, but the performance hit is not worth the space you save.
Hope this helps someone.
does Pretoriano80 kernel work with "Stick Mount" or do I need to remove this ?
