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

I'm confused here. The naming of type of storage. There is SD and External SD and "device". I assume SD is the internal (16GB) memory and External is the (64GB) Micro SD card I have inserted?
With that in mind, I get confused on file managers that say SD memory because that makes me think Micro SD card. They even show it as as a card icon in OI File Manager! But now I realize that exSdCard is my microSD.
So now my question is the encrypting. We have two options:
Encrypt Device and Encrypt SD card
This is confusing! Is the "device" the internal 16GB SD?
Or is SD the internal memory and Device is some other internal section?
Is there no option to actually encrypt my 64GB micro SDcard?
Halp
Device=accounts, settings, downloaded apps & their data, media if stored on internal, and some other files all stored on internal phone memory.
Is there a rom or mod that would let me swith the internal/external memory so that my 64gb sd card would show as internal memory and the 16gb intenal memory would show as external sd card? Install a couple of larger games and I'm full.
Thanks.
No, not only that it would require a rooted device.
If you're already prepared to root your device there are already solutions to the problem. Link2sd pro and folder mount can both fulfill your need.
Hello,
I have got question about new feature called 'adaptable sd' on android marshmallow.
Info: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...or-accessed-normally-with-no-additional-apps/
How it works on Lg g4? Can you move whole app on sd?
if i'm right you can format your external storage(SD card) to work as internal storage. this is useful when installing a lot of apps and big ones from the store.
i don't think you can move internal apps to SD.
this will be a way for 16GB phone variants(not necessarily for G4) to have more internal storage.
Can you format your sd card to work as internal storage on G4?

For me not, Sony SD, no options to format as internal, only normal format.
Strange, this is standard functionality on android marshmallow.
Is there any way to unlock this functionality?
Sounds like how the app Link2SD works by allowing apps on the External SD card.
This is much better than Link2SD, you have true additional internal storage.

Yeah, I can't see the option to format an SD card to internal storage either. At the moment, Link2SD is the next best thing.

Depends, it will still be slower than real internal storage as MicroSD cards are not as fast as internal memory I think.
Actualy, microSD Class10 cards are enought fast for aplication.

I wonder what's the speed of the internal memory.
The internal memory is pretty fast, not the fastest tough. Where the microSD fails is the random R/W part, I would not use it for any resource hungry apps, I do not like lags
64 GB SanDisk Ultra mSDXC UHS-I
First two pics are the internal memory, last two are the SD.
Hello,
i have been using adoptable storage for a while and i like it.
My adopted card however is getting close to full so i would like to switch to a larger one.
Has anyone done this? Is there anyway to transfer the data from the old to the new adopted card?
I dont have enough space on the phone memory itself to move everything back to the internal storage.
i can move pics and music to an hdd but not sure about apps and associated data that is on the card.
Thanks in advance!
You can send all files in sd card with a secondary app like zapya to computer and resend them to sd card when you adopted new sd card in your phone
Have you looked at HTC SyncManager?
I wasnt aware of these options i will look into them and report.
Thank you
Shouldn't it work if you just copy everything on your SD card to a PC, place the new SD card, format it as internal storage, copy everything back and restart?
I'm not sure if this works, but your apps are still installed on internal storage, only app data is placed on SD card.
Check settings > storage
If you tap on your internal storage, there should be some GB at apps and just a few MB on your SD card.

Except that pulling the adopted storage eviscerates the file system...
The only strategy I could fathom would be to duplicate the image onto the new SD card plugged in USB-OTG. If that were even possible, a concern would be changes during copy, making it inconsistent.
converted to adoptable storage but no data import option in the SD Card in storage
I am using a Samsung galaxy S5 and i converted my SD card to adoptable storage using adb shell process. after that there are two options showing in storage settings, internal storage and SD card.
Is it converted to Adoptable storage? If yes then why is there no option of importing data in the menu of 'SD card' storage option.
and how can i transfer from internal to SD card. or can make use of adoptable storage properly?
I installed crdroid Android 7.1 to my d855 LG g3 today. Everything was fine until I checked my SD card storage. It gives me two options to use my SD card. First one is external storage which does not allow me to move apps to it, second option is internal. When I choose internal, it shows me a negative storage (-45gb). And apps can't be moved there because phone thinks there is not enough storage in the SD card. My SD card is Samsung evo with 64gb storage. Can anyone help me?
