Hey XDA,
I'm trying to find information on the One M8's SD Card implementation but couldn't find any forums or sites that have satisfied my answer. I want to know how the Sense version of the M8 utilizes the SD card given that KitKat has really changed how SD cards work with android. I have a GPe S4 4.4.3 where the SD card flat out doesn't work unless I decide to root it and fix it.
Does the Sense version allow users to write to an SD Card?
Can I put apps onto an SD card with the Sense version?
Can I use photo apps to write to the SD Card?
I'm juggling between several phone choices so answers to this topic will really help my decision. Thanks.

Is there any way to make a 2G SD card look like a 256M SD card to an old device.
My ipaq210 allows me to boot from an old small MMC/SD card but cannot boot from a new 'large' one.
Is there any way to re-format heads/cyl/sectors/...
a 2G SD card to trick the old hardware into thinking its a 128or256M card?
I don't know anything about this stuff.
Sorry for not finding through search.
no way if the sd card in question is sdhc then you can't use it
otherwise you can partitionize it just like one do a harddisk

Thanks for the help.
I tried partitioning several different ways.
Still only likes the small cards.
It does not even get to the boot loader.
Must be a hardware incompatbility.
Hello all, wondering whether anyone can help. My 2.2 rooted Desire currenly has ~11MB of free space. I have just bought an 8GB micro SD card from play.com and put it into the phone.
Just wondering must install all apps to phone memory first and then move to SD card or is it possible to directly install to SD card. Which prog is best and easiest to move apps to sd card.
Thanks
Easiest to root and install custom rom which supports a2sd.
With this you aiming at apps need to have in code optimisations in order to be transfered to the SD card, and then would be using FAT32 partition - that you don't want since some apps need to be started together with the OS, and will fail to do so then since OS first loads apps and second mounts FAT partition.
Long story short - root - custom rom - Leedroid ftw
Thanks for the prompt reply. I have the modaco 2.2 stock rom. So what app would you recommened.
I just re-read your post, so you would suggest leedroid rom rathern than stock rom with app 2 sd app...?
Hey folks,
I've been wondering which SD Card may be best for my Desire in terms of speed and performance? Are there any real differences between various cards? Does it matter at all which kind of SD I have or can i simply stick to my random 16GB SD that i have now?
Thanks in advance for help and feedback
If don't want to use data2sd, you can use your current sd card without any problems.
ok i am confused i have noticed lots of post of people saying they cant move apps to sd card or write to sd card.. i just bought the sm-t700 titanium 8.4 version, and it came with 4.2 android i then upgraded to LP 5.0.2 and i am still able to move apps to sd card, i am running stock rom and am rooted, so i am confused on why most posts or customs roms say they have added the sd card fix?? was it certain models that have moving apps to sd card and others not??? also the build date of mine says may 5 2015....
just asking as i am afraid to put custom rom on it for fear of losing the move apps to sd card....
From my perspective, moving apps to the SD card is not the issue. You can do that with most apps (though some move precious little of their total size to the external storage). The issue is that this is about all you can do with the SD card. You can't use it as a default storage location (for web browser downloads, for example). Basically all you can do is "move" apps to it and copy files manually to and from. I haven't even been able to create a folder on the SD card using my file browser.
It`s third-party app on an non-rooted tablet that cannot write/delete files to the microsd, I think you can on v4.2 and v5.0.2 but not on v4.4.2

Hey guys
I recently converted my M8 to GPE 6.0 and its been great so far. However, I cannot get write permissions on my SD card. I really dont want to format the card and treat it as internal storage, just as an additional data storage drive. Is there currently a way to do this ?
Same problem. Pls help
