Hi all,
because of less posts I am forced to ask in this section.
As I can see the headset volume buttons issue is fixed for our device. What about the external storage?
I am not new in flashing a custom ROM, but still am not able to move apps to external storage the default way. There even is no option for this in the application menu.
Actually I am waiting for the delivery of my new micro SD card, but am thinking about a complete wipe/re-install when I received it. What do you think, is it worth a shot or won't that solve the issue?
Thanks for your intentions in this

Install folder mount

If you want hassle free, using move to SD feature from the ROM iteslf, wait for the new build of SlimKat. The author is testing and implementing this feature as we speak. Give it sometime, it should be ready soon: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708677
Thanks for your answers, guys. I was just wondering, because on my i9100 running cm 11 kk 4.4.2 this was no problem. Same on the versions I used before.
I already have FolderMount installed, but only use it for one application for testing. But that is not the same. I was looking for a way to automatically move applications I just installed to the SD card. On my old build CleanMaster did that for me. Now I need to do it immediately after installation or I will forget about it.
But thanks anways!

I'm sure that to some this topic has been discussed to death but I've yet to find any reading material that has helped me understand. If you know where i can find material on what I'm about to ask please point me to it so i can understand. Anyways, here goes:
Ever since 4.2.2 came out flashing back & fourth between 4.1 and 4.2 has been a pain. This is due to the fact that flashing a 4.2 ROM creates a new directory on the SD card ("0") and files either get moved there, or you have to move them manually (especially when going back to a 4.1 ROM). Now what I've been doing as a workaround is right b4 moving from 4.1 to 4.2 (or vice versa) i copy all the contents of my SD card to my external. Then as I'm wiping b4 the flash i go ahead and wipe my internal storage too. Then after flashing my new ROM i copy the contents back to internal storage from the external. Obviously this is time consuming and a pain. Now i read somewhere that the new cwm recovery does something that helps in some way with the issue of new directories getting created every time you flash a 4.2 ROM. I usually use twrp so I'm not very familiar with newer versions of cwm (i used it a lot years ago tho). So my question is two-fold i guess: 1) will the new cwm help at all with my dilemma described above (and if so, how)? And 2) if it doesn't help has anyone found a way to deal with my dilemma in a more efficient way than i?
Thanks in advance guys.

Hey George, I was wondering what version of TWRP you are using. I'm currently on v2.4.1.0 and have gone back and forth between 4.2.x and 4.1.x Roms without this problem. I've also heard of others who have had this problem with this same version.

Well i flashed the cwm recovery a couple of hours ago so I'm not real sure what version i was on. I can tell u tho, that it was NOT a very old version. I came back to the s3 about a month ago and i installed it the day i got it. So it can't be a version older than 1 month. Can you clarify for me? What do you mean you don't have this problem? You mean to say that when you flash a 4.2.x ROM you don't get a new directory on your SD card at all?

Its a issue that has been brought up on the TWRP thread. It does have to do with the internal sd card and the "0". I just make sure my backups are on my external sd card. If you do that you'll have no issues.
Sent from my stock rooted Galaxy S3
One major problem I have with my Tab S 8.4 is the limited storage. I mainly install games, and they can't move their data to the SD card, nor can I use the SD card with programs like AGS, because of KitKat security limitations. I'm holding off upgrading to Lollipop because the upgrade screen warns me that I'm going to lose at least 950MB of storage (and I know from my Nexus 7 2012 that Lollipop does indeed add quite a bit to storage use).
What I'd like to know is how Lollipop handles the SD card. If I can move game data to it, that would be great, instantly worthy of an upgrade. If the download folder can be moved to the SD card on Lollipop, that would also be quite good. Even if I could only move AGS data to it (without it becoming read only) that would be interesting enough to consider the upgrade.
So I'd love it if someone could tell me from experience whether the SD card is more useful with Lollipop. It's annoying to have a 64GB card that's mostly empty while internal storage is constantly full.
(I hope that someone can help answer me this question. Haven't been able to find someone to answer me this elsewhere, and looks like others on the XDA forum asked this for other devices and didn't get an answer, so I'm not all that hopeful, but I'll be very grateful if I get a good answer. Thanks in advance!)
Root your device and your problem is easily solvable. Without even on lollipop there are still restrictions.
I am running lollipop but not stock, I'm running iron Rom. Which is practically stock without all the bloat, runs great and it shaved at least a gig off the stock Rom.
Thanks for the reply. What does using a custom ROM solve (from what I mentioned above: installing game data on SD card, download directory, SD card access by apps), and is that an expected part of any custom ROM I install (assuming I pick one listed on this site) or would I have to do anything extra or pick a specific ROM?
Like I said Iron Rom is lighter compared to stock so that's an extra internal storage, plus it comes prerooted so you can then give write access to the sd card and install Link2sd.
Thanks. People who already know all the things sometimes don't remember that others have no clue. So thanks a lot for mentioning Link2sd. If I understand correctly, all I need is to root the device and install Link2sd and then I can move apps to the SD card. No need to install a custom ROM for that, right?

That's correct.
Thanks. I'll have to look into how rooting affects my tablet's warranty, but if there's no problem with that then I'd likely go that way.
I would still be interested in knowing whether Lollipop by itself improves anything over KitKat in terms of handling the SD card.
You will lose warranty with root, but if you are kitkat you can try the latest version of kingroot as it won't trip Knox.
Before using Link2sd you need to create an ext2 partition on the sd card.
Look on Google there are plenty of guides how to use link2sd.
I did not know that i will loose 950MB of my tiny 16GB storage when i upgrade to lollipop, is this true? , we not Samsung hauled over the coals in the press a few months ago because of the amount of free storage space left to the user after the system was installed, If i will loose 950mb, that is another reason not to upgrade to lollipop, things just seem to get worse, somebody give me a nudge i must be dreaming or is this a nightmare.
John.
As far as lollipop goes, if you go to Settings>Applications>SD CARD you can see a list of Apps that can be moved to the SD card. Not all apps will be able to be moved. As far as games go, I will have to test that out and get back to you. I have no games installed at the moment. any specific one in mind?

I upgraded to Lollipop last night and there was no warning that I would lose 950MB of storage. There was a warning that I needed at least a couple GB free in storage so that the system could proceed with the update. The U.S. lollipop OTA update itself is about 925.21MB. Other versions will be more or less around that number. Maybe he was mistaken the update size with losing that amount of storage space.
So it only needed`s a couple of gb of free flash space from my 16gb temporarily, while doing the update and then i will get it back, once the update is complete and the temp files are delete, is this what it looks like, I intend to do a reset before and after i upgrade to lollipop whenever we get it in the UK
I just hope lollipop is as stable as kitkat, as i bought my T800 10.5" just before Christmas, and it has never been rebooted or turn off, crashed or anything in 196 Days according to the battery history.

Official CM13 is out for all Find 7 phones!
From what I can see, CM13 natively supports LVM. It also seems to be pretty stable.
More notes coming after a few days of testing!
DOWNLOADS:
Find7a
Find7s
Happy flashing everybody!
EDIT:
LVM DOES NOT WORK. Cyanogenmod reps have since said that they will NOT be supporting it in the future either.
Hi, does it support new LCD R63419?
Thanks
Do we have the bug list ??
Anyone have flashed it? Is it smooth and stable?
I have a Find 7a.. I tried so many times to reflash cm-13.0-20151204-NIGHTLY-find7.zip but it just only stucks/hangs in boot animation. I don't have any problems booting omni, nameless and crdroid early marshmallow builds.
I got it working, and it's really stable. HOWEVER! LVM IS NOT SUPPORTED AS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. And, to make matters worse, you cannot convert an SD card to internal storage quite yet- it hangs and bugs out when you try.
THIS IS NOT STABLE unless you normally use an unmodified partition! In which case, the ROM is blazing fast, and I would definitely switch over as soon as possible.
As for the other questions: I have no idea if the new panel is supported. And there's no changelog provided on CMXLog, unless I was just looking in the wrong spot.
are they kidding with us? i installed the cm13 and only it has the 2.95 gb memory, no support of unified storage!
We can still be able to use like that way, but who cares if we don't have the rest of the memory.
It says, the rest of the memory is corrupt, and Show dialog for fixing it, and not Works!
Do we have to return back to ColorOs again? (((
Damn, I'm currently on MIUI, this is so tempting.
My head says yes, but my heart says no!
Just kidding, heh heh

If you really like how CM works, I'd try @jejecule's CRDroid. I just installed the latest version and it works just as good as CM13, plus has proper LVM implementation. Check it out here!
Thank you for your advise. I installed the new nameless marshmallow rom. Its well working now.

For those wanting LVM and newer LCD support, I highly recommend the OmniRom Marshmallow builds. I'm running this as a daily driver and it's perfectly stable.

I feel, battery drains fast in test build.
I installed it yesterday, tried many times with same result. I always chose to not convert external SD card.
In this condition the internal SD seems inaccessible to me. If you try to access the internal SD, you're prompted to insert an encryption password. If you set the password nothing happens and the SD results inaccessible. If you do NOT set a password, when pointing to internal SD you're prompted again for encryption password.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Probably nothing. Cyanogenmod actually pulled all the builds recently because the storage wasn't being read correctly. This thread should tell you everything you need to know, if you want to try again. Apparently they've fixed it with their latest build.
Thanks BG64, in fact I installed new nightly and no more problem there.
I also tried Unified partitioning method by tashimotor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64149659&postcount=3 whitout any problem.
Nice to see my app storage boosted from 3Gb to 25Gb!!!

Great to know! Thanks dude! By any chance, would you be able to check if SD card partitioning as internal is working?

Why with new CM13 nightly is not possible to use SD storage as unified storage for apps?
Must always apply unified partitioning method? I'd like to apply unified storage from new CM13 nightly directly.. DO you think it will be possible?

That is absolutely possible, you can do it directly form CM13 every time you insert a new ext SD. Every data on the ext SD wil be wiped out when you do it.
I prefer unifiyng method because I want my ext SD to be an ext SD, because I use it accross other devices.
Hey guys,
mom keeps hitting the storage limit of the 8GB SM-T210 Galaxy Tab 3 wifi only version. That thing is still running kitkat and half the aps can't be moved to external storage because of samsung's kitkat modifications. This tab is now seriously falling behind on android version and security that i'm looking into rooting that thing and installing a custom rom on it (pref one that's actively developped and as close to M as possible), perhaps one that even gets OTA's.
Since my own devices are nexus line i understand it won't be as simple? I've got little experience with rooting brand skinned devices like that. My last one was a Sensation XE. Can anyone link me to the simplest thread to root that thing and a good custom rom. Mom's 59 years old so nothing to fancy. As close to stock android (without all samsungs bloatware on it), and where the apps can actually be moved to SD card.
I've attached an image of the device info. Should be all you guys need to get me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
You can just Root your device, then install Xposed Installer and after that install modules Obb on SD and Kitkat SD full access and then you can move files to external storage without any problems.
This is how you can root your tablet : http://www.droidviews.com/root-galaxy-tab-3-7-0-sm-t210-sm-t210r-and-install-twrp-recovery/
If i'm going to do it then i'll go all the way and custom rom. She's got no need for Xposed or any of the bloatware. With a custom rom i'll be able to get rid of it all. Now, the rooting seems simple enough for that device, guess now all that's left is a custom rom.
Xposed isn't a bloatware.. I was using all the time on my T-310 and I wasn't having any problems, after CustomROM install I stopped using it because SD Cards work a little bit differnt on MM like I saw.
i never said it was bloatware. I said she's got no need for Xposed, or the bloatware thats currently on the device. Hence a custom rom need.
Looking for a new ROM for my T807T that is as close to pure Android 7 as possible though I guess I deal with something else. I currently have AOSP 7.0 and it's great but I didn't know that it currently has issues with using sd cards. It'll detect the SD card but it won't write to it or allow me to change it once it's converted. I mainly just want a ROM that doesn't have any sd card issues and is for Nougat. So if anyone has any suggestions to help me out.
Update: So I found a fix and can now add files via recovery and see them on the ROM.
