I have a Note II (Sprint) and i recently purchased a class 10 64GB Sd card, i rooted my phone and followed Galaxynote2root video on youtube (i can't post link but it's the one about apps2sd) https:// www youtube.com/watch?v=QUF7R0mmk00
It did work, it's showing that i have at least 59GB on my "Internal" and my REAL internal is now showing up as SD with 700mbs.
The Problem: While it shows that i have a lot of space, anything i download is going straight to internal (real) not the 64GB card.
What i want be able to do: - To take all my apps/files from my internal drive and move them to the 64GB SD card
- Have any files i download/install go directly to 64GB SD card
I purchased Titanium backup but it's not moving the files to SD it says it moved but storage app is not counting
I'm so confused if anyone has the time to help me i will greatly appreciate it.
Google in all their wisdom removed app2Sd in Android 4.0 and up. This is why we need a 32 and 64 version off this phone. Make sure your titanium backup defaults to your external as well as the camera to save internal space.

I know this isn't the ideal solution, but can we at least move the large Data or Obb files onto the extSD card and then move them back when we want to play the game (Like Asphalt 7 and Dark Knight)?

Sadly no. I've not been able to use any kind of apps to do this.
Between Google Music cache, google maps/earth cache, tumbler cache, Bard's Tale, and Asphalt 7 that's using up almost 9gb of space on the internal "card" partition. It's crazy that the Evo3D could easily move apps/data to the SDCard but we've taken such a huge step back with this flaw.

Huh? There was apps2sd in 3rd party ics builds for my evo4g. It will probably take some time to port it to the various N2 ROMs unless there is some overpowering technical reason for it bot working. N2 is still new and young and devs are still getting the hang of it. Stock OTA might not ever get it but who stays at stock?

In the Play Store description on apps2sd the developer specifically lists the Galaxy Note 2 as a device which is NOT compatible. :crying:, not happy about that one either. Cause with the potential of this device and its display I want to d/l kick ass games but can't plug up my internal storage when I have a perfectly good class 10 32Gb SD card!
The only fix for this to my knowledge at this time(which my knowledge about moving apps to the sd card is not extensive at the moment. I have done a little research. ) the only solution at the time is an available script. Which I saw on Galaxynote2root.com as well. But I am personally not familiar enough with the method nor how it may interact with a custom ROM therefore I am personally waiting for either a clearer description of the process or a different method all together.
-Thanks
I got it guys!
Okay
The video teaches you how to flip your SDcard for the Internal, so the phone thinks you are installing on the internal but it's actually the SD (CONFUSING LOL) So when i went to titanium pro, i was super confused with the whole "Move to SD" i didn't know if it was moving to SD or the Internal since i flipped it was all super confusing to me i'm new to android, i've had an iPhone since the first one and decided to get a Note II about a week ago.
So what i did was just deleted all my apps, followed the video and installed all the apps again from the play store and it went to the 64GB card!!! So yay :highfive:
Apps/games run great not even lag at all, camera/videos save to 64GB so i'm really happy.
Careful with that card. Definitely not as reliable as internal memory. Especially if your taxing it with everyday constant use .
I just ran into this issue, no space at all! I just realized that my titanium had been installing to my internal.

Has anyone determined a method for getting around the later Android build's refusal to allow you to install or forcibly move applications to the Ext SD card? I've tried FolderMount but its VERY situational, and in my experience, it rarely works. I was hoping that people have figured out how to make the Ext SD card more functional for the Note 8.0 since the 6gb of usable space is pretty near useless with 2GB+ games being released now.
Alternately, has anyone checked if the Note 8's internal memory is an SD card and if it could be replaced and then the device reflashed? Say .. with a 64GB ?
You could use the apps2sd script method to swap external memory with internal:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276193
I did that at first, and it worked great. There are potential issues though, so read the whole thread. I now use Folder Mount.

any idea for non-rooted ,cause i dont know how to root the At&t variant.
Without root the answer is to wait until Samsung enables it in the ROM, which I doubt will happen.
Also it helps if you pay large games one at a time instead of keeping them all installed. Much like ball in the day when hard drives were only a few hundred megs .

The leak 4.2.2 Rom for N5110 and the latest 4.2.2 UK Rom for N5120 from Samsung include app2sd. If you would not like to root, you can wait for the official upgrade to 4.2.2.

This has got to be the worst move ever made by Google (and I'm a Google fanboy). Makes me frustrated. Samsung is one of the only companies providing micro sd card slots, and now this comes and screws that up. What can you even do with a micro sd card now besides read it...?!
Here is the article: http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/65841
Leibeck explains what this means to users, writing,
“If your device has user-accessible internal flash storage, your SD Card is a “secondary external storage device”.
What this means is that with KitKat, applications will no longer be able create, modify, or remove files and folders on your external SD card. As a for-instance, you can no longer use a file manager to copy files from your computer to the SD card over a network. This ability, which has existed since the beginning of Android, has been taken away.”

This is horrible.....shame on google
I'll be waiting. No need to rush in and be an early adopter. I wonder how the S5 is handling this/going to.
Google mess it up on purpose, to force people to use their cloud services and be bombarded by their advertising, that's how they make money and their official explanation to improve security is so lame. Anyhow, hopefully Samsung will fix it sooner or later, or you can root it and fix it yourself, loosing warranty in the process. I took the high road and will not update, until a) it's all fixed or b) my warranty runs out and won't care about Knox at all.
Google gets on my nerves lately, first they messed up new maps update (at least I got option to stay on old version for now) and now this.

So should I not up date the software.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda premium
Google changed it because a lot of folks were having their app data store on the sdcard, which later on caused stability issues with the apps loading. Some resulted in FCs, crashes etc etc. So in order to increase stability, and possibly even security in Android, Google made the move to allow on app data to be stored internally. You can store and do whatever else you want to do on the sdcard like storing music, photos, other files etc etc. App data can no longer be stored on external...
Personally I don't mind, the Note 3 comes with 32GB minimum... That's plenty for me....

I'm guessing it is going to be under your stock gallery app and it's saving to your device.

I still can go to settings and change to save the pictures to the SD card. It's the app data, not pictures that you can't move to an SD card.
These SD card problems are a super-dealbreaker for me, does anyone know a way (via root or whatever) to revert kitkat to previous SD card behaviors? If not, I'm going to have to revert back to Jelly Bean.

If you're rooted there is a fix. it's in the kitkat qa thread in the dev section. Seems to work fine.

Why not force apps to be defaulted to internal unless user unchecks that option for people using developers menu and/or root. Sort of like force gpu rendering option.
On my note 3,i know if 4.4 I will lost root.
My tablet is not rooted but I might like to to get Microsd access and defrost. If looks like if I upgrade, I can still aquire root
True or not, any reason not to?

It's like a new tablet performance and function wise. All of Samsung's apps have been refreshed and the browser is especially impressive. Multi Window and Pen Window now support the same apps meaning you can have apps open side-by-side or floating and resizable. Without any modifications I now have 35 apps available in Multi Window. On 4.4 you can also install Hancom Office, e-Meeting, Remote PC, and Side sync bringing the N10.1-2014 up to "Pro" level. People are reporting better battery life and shorter charging times also. I did a dirty flash using a ROM from a different region so I somehow kept the lock screen widgets (which should be gone) and lost Daynote (which should be there). My battery was funky at first; not charging overnight and draining way too quickly. The former fixed itself and the latter was fixed when I deleted my Exchange accounts, cleared app data, and rebuilt them. I think my battery life is better now; it's certainly no worse. I'm going to do a recovery and rebuild my N10.1-2014 (it takes about six hours ) once the 4.4 ROM for my region is out which should clear up any funkiness.
As for external SD, it is what it is. Apps can still use it (individually) for storage so you can keep big files there. Samsung's apps (My Files, Samsung Link, Gallery, Video, and Music) still have universal read/write access and can manipulate all external SD files. So with 4.4 there's some added manual administration and you have to come up with new ways of doing things but it's not the end of the world. And it's not going to change. So you have two choices - stay on 4.3 forever and miss out on a fantastic update or bite the bullet and root. After just four days using the update I can't imagine going back.

If you are rooted just install "Folder Mount" from play store, run it , it will fix your sd card issues.

Yes, Samsung My Files will work with ext SD but it doesn't allow you to rename filename extensions so you can rename a .apk to like .zip so you can bluetooth it across and then rename it back to .apk

After update to lollipop my HTC desire 816 dual SIM has 1.2 gb less internal memory space.Previously it has 3.95 gb internal space now only 2.75 gb.What is your experience friends?
Frustrating.Nobody wants to share how much internal space they have left after lollipop update.
I have had space issues ever since I got this phone. It's even worse when I updated to lollipop. I literally have only about 7 downloaded apps. The rest of my space is taken up by stock apps etc. I think my user apps account for 1gb.. Here's a screenie
Mine also 1gb....???
Now we can't update apps or install new apps from playstore.
Why still no move complete data to sd even after lollipop??if possibile we all can gain space..so anyone try to find the method..
Stock Apps
I'm thinking of rooting my phone to have a clear out of the stock apps because after the lollipop update I have <500mb remaining storage.
I have gone through the stock apps and calculated I can free up 300+
I was just wondering, I know HTC advises against removing stock apps but what are the actual consequences of uninstalling these apps?
Apps like Twitter and Hangouts I have no problem removing because I know exactly what they are for and will not be using them (plus if I ever change my mind they are available in the app store). It is the apps below I am unsure about:
1. Internet Browser (82mb) - I have Google Chrome installed so do not require 2 browsers.
2. Google Play Services (125mb) - I update ALL of my apps manually and do not require auto-update assistance.
3. Cloud Print, Dot View, My Google Drive, HTC Account, Push Client, HTC Guide
Are there any major consequences of removing these apps?
Thanks guys
Google Play Services does a lot more than just updating your apps, so do not uninstall it!
Can anybody give a list of the apps that can be uninstalled without troubles, I need to make room for my apps on this [email protected]#$ phone ?
I wish we could integrated updates into system apps, but it seems to never work

If you're rooted then you can disable write protection setup additional partition on SDcard and run link2SD.
If you don't want to root your phone the only option is to stop and disable the app then uninstall updates. That should save you some space and prevent the updates from downloading.
I had the same issue on my Moto E (XT1021). The update process gave a warning of what space was required but I hadn't checked. My spare space in internal memory was almost wiped out.
As a retired chap I wasn't likely to rush out and buy a new phone with more memory. I had just bought mine less than a year ago. So I looked at what I needed and how to get more memory back. This brought me to the idea of binning what Google stuff I can and installing 3rd party apps that can be moved to the SD card. I replaced the likes of Chrome, Camera, Gallery, Photo also 'removing' Drive, Books, Games, Music, Newstand, Text-to-Speech, Hangouts, Maps, Quickoffice, Street View, Talkback, Cloud Print and much of the Motorola stuff like Assist, Alert. 'removing' means uninstalling the app updates in 'Settings'
As a result I now have 700Mb free in internal memory. I'm looking to replace the supplied email and calendar apps with 3rd party stuff but many (most?) can't be moved to SD card.
PS. My phone worked fine after the update but my wife's Moto E will re-optimise after every power-up. I haven't the heart to tell her I might have to factory-reset it - not just yet
Hope the above helps!
Pete
