Hello again everyone,
Today while looking at settings-->"SD and Phone Storage", Astro File manager and talking with a friend thats using a capivate phone i was wonderning about the phones internal storage and its relation to the SD card.
Is the internal Phone storage the same as the SD card except obvously you cant upgrade or remove the phone storage?
If a ROM upgrade or different ROM install is preformed will i loose the files on the Internal Phone storage?
Thanks
NO, you will not loose your files on your internal storage by flashing a ROM. What might happen is the ROM doesn't yet support internal storage (most do now). Then you would not be able to access or use the internal storage even though the files are there. Like others have said make sure you read the channel logs and known issues log to see if the rom does support the internal storage. I hope this helps.
Great!
Thanks
hi all....i successfully swapped the mermory with the sd but i think another way....is possible to mount only the external sd (ex.16gb)and remove the mass storage (1.70gb) to have only One internal memory and one external memory....i think this to give the possibility to save unmount the sd from menu without shoutdown the smartphone....thanks all for the attention
Hello,
Would really appreciate if you would help me out. I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4 MINI running Clockwork with CM 10.1. Everything was installed and saved on the internal storage. Recently I bought an SD Card to have more storage but I have an issue to transfer all the apps and files to SD. How can i transfer an application or file from internal storage to SD card please? P.S : when i try to transfer the files or apps through file manager or through usb from my computer the application doesnt work anymore. Can you kindly help me out please? and even How could i instruct the applicaiton to install on the sd card instead of the internal?

Or is there a way to swap storage such as having the phone reading the external storage as internal and the external storage as internal ? IE Storage Swap
Hi. I need help. I installed Android Marshmallow on my LG G3 D855. To be able to move apps to SD, App2SD asks me to format my SD as internal. The thing is I only get the option to format as portable. I did a hard reset and then installed the firmware again but still no change. I really would thank any ideas or suggestions of how to fix this.
I don't know how to format sd as internal , but i know that in settings >apps you press on app then press storage and you can choose between internal memory and sd card. Hope this help you.
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?
