Galaxy Note 10.1 2014-Edition (SM-P605) Cyanogenmod13 CM13 - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

Did anyone try this CM13?
It is only listed in CM13-ChangeLogs but not within Cyanogen-Downloads
https://www.cmxlog.com/13/lt03lte/

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist,
sure you can download the ROM here:
CyanogenMod 13 Download
I will get you thread moved to your device section. There you can discuss this with other users.
Kind regards

Meanwhile the Rom seems to be listed in Cyanogemod download section. Some time ago it was not. And nowhere I can find user experiences. Would be great to get feedback. Thanks very much.

I have tried this ROM (cm-13.020160501-NIGHTLY) nothing majorly wrong with it except:
1. I don't have a sim card to test 4g/3g connectivity, so can't test phone/message/GPS functions as well. So these parts are unknown.
2. The quick view drawer (in home screen when you hold from top and swipe down to bring out system/profile/recent notification drawer), it display nothing except basic information like time/date profile head bubble. It will not display ANY notifications even you have new email etc. It always display "No notifications"
3. No lock screen, at all. So you can't preview any information like above. When you press home button it brings up your home screen straight away. If you have pattern lock / pin lock, yes you will have a lock screen normally, however again it will not have any notifications even you have new ones.
4. No USB connection option. On my Oneplus One (bacon) with CM13, when you connect USB cable to the PC, you can choose USB function from "charging" to something like "data transfer" etc. However, on my P605 (lt03lte) it displays nothing (since it can't display any notification). Even after enable USB debugging mode (which is called Android debugging in CM13), enable Debugging notify, changing "Select USB configuration" from "charging" to any other modes, none of above work. This is huge problem for me because this simply means I can't transfer any files from my PC to tablet and the mirco sd card.
5. For some reason all data from my micro sd card are not accessible, or I should say are not naturally supported. When you try to view eg. photos from micro sd card, and open "Gallery" provided, it will shows "0 images/videos available". However, it can be accessed when you go to Settings>Storage & USB>Portable Storage and you will see the micro sd card there. So you can copy files from system storage to micro sd.
6. It takes longer time to boot up compared to my Oneplus One and will have completely black screen (scary long waiting time, estimated about 15 seconds long) when you downloaded and flashed newer ROM. So be patient if you are updating. I experienced that "black screen" every time when I update my ROM or reinstalling through TWRP.
All processes I never experienced any softbrick.
I am not sure if it is just me or everyone is experiencing the same things, like you said, you can't find any reviews online...
Other than above it is an awesome ROM, definitely cleaner compared to stock ROM.
If you wish to update to Marshmallow on your P605, I strongly recommend Schischu's Marshmallow ROM from xda-developers. (Google search: p605 marshmallow) It is very stable for me and seems no faults.
I am currently still sticking with "cm-13.020160501-NIGHTLY" ROM and hoping it will fix above issues when updates,
Feel free to ask me any questions,

Thank you very much for this very detailed review.
Have prepared the SM-P605 yesterday for my father. First impressions where very good. Starting ultra fast.
Unfortunately, a SIM-card has not being tested.
As far as notification are concerned, I have to wait for feedback from father's side.
Update was not tested.
The MM-Rom you mentioned seems not to be a Cyanogenmod, but an AOSP, isn't it? Last time I used AOSP, it could not read exFat formatted microSDXC cards. That was the main reason for me not to use the AOSP-Rom.
Will gather more information within the upcomming weeks. Maybe there are more users who provide useful impression on CM13 ...

No I am using CM13 from official Cyanogenmod Website.
I have also tried AOSP-ROM before I flashed to Cyanogenmod. My micro SD card is actually working in AOSP. I can't remember the actually details but I DO remember it prompt a message to ask me to FORMAT the micro SD card before use. Gladly I have all data in micro SD backup to my PC before flashing AOSP. So in the end I don't lose anything in micro SD. And sorry I can't remember what format my microSDXC before flash to AOSP.
And yes Cyanogenmod rom is ultra fast and clean absolutely no bloatwares, also requires minimum space. After flashed to Cyanogenmod + gapps it only uses up to 600~700mbs in total which is amazing. I will stick to Cyanogenmod and use it for now. By the speed they update hopefully they can come up with a better ROM (finger crossed).

Lingering EVO issues (SD Card, Camera, etc.)

I'm having some lingering issues with my EVO even after running OTA updates. I am running a rooted stock ROM, currently software version 1.32.651.6 (I have not attempted the latest OTA update yet).
In particular are two problems - SD card issues have remained even after the OTA update. This was present even before rooting but after installing the first update (I went to a "full-service" store on opening day and they set it up themselves, assuming everyone would want it - luckily I could still get root). Issues include the Camera application reporting permissions problems randomly when trying to save pictures to the SD card, HTC's music application freaking out and coming to a near freeze trying to crawl the SD card during one of its troublesome spurts, and files disappearing from file explorers. So basically run of the mill, pre-first-OTA sd card problems. But occurring after the update and both before/after rooting.
Second is a problem with the camera itself. When first booting, HTC's included photo/video application will instantly crash after showing the camera icon on the black background. Google Goggles freezes for about 10 seconds then reports it was unable to connect to the camera. After the phone being on for about half an hour, these issues (seemingly) go away until the next reboot.
Last, and least frequent but still troubling, is a problem with the device powering on. At least twice I have been unable to get the device to turn on after powering it off, forcing a pull and replace of the battery to get it working again.
As far as I know, all of these issues could be either hardware or software. Even the power problem - my best guess is that the phone never powers off fully, but is instead locked inside of a deep sleep state and thus can not turn on until a battery pull forces the entire system off.
The questions being - first, are there any known solutions to the above problems? I have found many threads in particular regarding SD card issues, but none that seem to report these problems post-update. The others I have seen little to nothing about.
Second - if there are not known solutions, would it be prudent to return the phone as it may likely be a hardware problem?
Since it seems I'm forced to take the last update if I get a replacement, I may likely have problems getting a full root back. I'd like to avoid that if possible - having root works wonders for doing application development using non-native (unexposed) API's (Which - side note - since I'm developing for 2.1 at the moment, other than hacking for direct access to a Surface, does anyone know of a _fast_ way to do direct blits from native code? glTexImage2d is insanely slow).
Thanks all any help. Again, apologize if any of these are solved and gone problems, but I wasn't able to procure anything myself.
I'd go for the replacement, sounds like a defective unit..
Be sure that the folks here at xda will get root working regardless of OTA.
replace the unit, i'm very particular about my phones, if there is anything wrong with it I replace it.
I too have the SD card issue, I have updated, i have rooted, re-rooted, flashed new rom, different roms (fresh and sd) and it has always given me the sd card issue. Sometimes it wants to be a pain and not work at all, sometimes its good for at least a week or two. I am waiting for a little longer to make sure when I get a replacement its a newer version.
SD card permission errors --- POSSIBLE FIX
I hope/think/believe I fixed this error for those interested, I use my EVO for work and need it to work without a hitch....
Here goes (**Note i am a noob with smartphones with a dangerous amount of IT knowledge - disclaimer for those brave enough to browse around the root files and SD card files; I am not responsible for you bricking your phone, I am only trying to help those in need and putting in my 2 cents_)
Download and open the app ---> Root Explorer (or any other root explorer for that matter) from Android market.
Once Root Explorer is open (look up top/left it will say) Mounted as r/o (means read only) - press the white button to mount it as r/w (read & write)
Press and long hold on the SD card directory (folder) - you will get another window from which you must select the permissions option.
Under top option USER - check all marks -- READ WRITE AND EXECUTE & click OK.
VERY IMPORTANT - Click on the (white button) Mount as r/o to write protect your root files on your phone again.
I just applied this fix about 45 mins ago and seems to be working......updates to come if issues persist or re-surface. (**Note I could not see photos or play music and some apps were also giving me FCs (intermittently) due to permission or write errors to SD card; and now it seems to be working like nothing ever happened.)
What I have ::: stock ROM on EVO supersonic with recent HTC updates applied - standard 8Gig SD card provided with phone / had rooted but put back stock ROM for preference issues.
Hope this info helps some folks...very frustrating issue.
Cheers
SD card permission errors --- POSSIBLE FIX
ONE LAST SIDENOTE COMMENT -
I transfer data to my PC often (running Win 7 32bit_)
It is crucial that you right click on "safely remove hardware" icon on the lower right side (next to date and time) and WAIT until windows tells you
..."It is now safe to remove your hardware" --- I was just taking the plug out when done and it appears as if that could have started or compounded these issues with the SD card.
I too get the could not connect problems at times. And I have lost access to the SD card a few times. Some say its Fring that causes the problem. But after removing it I still have camera issues. I noticed that having the LED Light on while trying to open the camera will cause this problem.
I am running CM6 RC1 so this is to be expected from Release Candidates. Sit tight. It will get fixed.
Well after a full 24 hrs...no issues with the read write error on my EVO SD card, I think that when the phone is removed from PC incorrectly (i.e. pulling USB cable out in mode other than "Charge only" i.e. HTC sync, Disk Drive, Internet sharing - it causes it to "corrupt" the permissions on the SD card - It is still working like a champ and i am waiting impatiently for my EVO Froyo update ... feedback appreciated for those whom tried this fix and had it work....txs
@LF142
Hi there. So I followed all of your instructions above and downloaded Root Explorer. However, every time I change the permissions, they don't save. User, Group and Other is always switched off at root level. Do you think this may mean my SD card is corrupted?
I rooted it with BakedSnack.
I now want to un-root it as I miss taking shots, looking at my shots, listening to my tunes etc.
But I want to keep all my apps. All my texts and everything else. Whats the best way to go about this? I am also a bit of a n00b and I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, but when Froyo releases tomorrow (apparently) do I have to unroot to receive the update?
Thanks

Some applications and files disappear from SD card after SAFELY removal in Windows 7

Good afternoon, dear xda-developers forum members.
I really hope to find some help here.
In last two months I had the following issues:
1. This one happened two times already: after using my phone as a flash in windows 7 and "safely removal" of it, all my applications which were installed on SD card were saying that "Application is no longer installed" when I tried to run it, although other documents and files were readable from ASTRO File Manager, i.e. SD card was mounted. In Settings->Applications all these applications had black icons with SD card image on it and rather with package name than regular application name(for example com.navitel instead of regular Navitel, etc.). I've restored all these applications from Titanium Backup, but I'm afraid that there is something more disappeared also which I don't know about.
2. My "Android" folder on sd card became a file with weird contents(this folder was used for NFS Shift data only). I couldn't restore it. Again: if this folder corrupted, then there is definitely something else also corrupted.
After I saw these things for the first time, I used Windows checkdisk with auto-fix errors. It found a lot of files and put it into "FOUND.000" directory. I recognized in these files few apk-files of installed applications from SD and also few images from my SD. Then I restored applications to SD card and for some time it seemed ok. But one time it happened again.
My assumption is that Android fails to re-mount SD card after I disconnect it from PC.
I don't know what to do... is it Android bug or is it Desire bug or what? I swear that I ALWAYS make "safe USB removal" in Windows before disconnect the USB-cable and I ALWAYS wait for the message "It's now safe to disconnect your device".
I'm very disappointed with all that Please, advise me something useful...
P.S.: If needed I can give you any debug information you want, I'm a programmer, so I've been around
You could try to format your SD card, just backup the contents first, see if that works. As for Android, it does a pretty good job of mounting straight after. What version of Android are you running?

I will, but strange that it happened, because I formatted the flash before using it for the first time...
I have two assumptions:
Maybe I shouldn't press power button to switch the screen off just after disconnecting USB cable from PC. I was doing that as a habit, because every time you disconnect your phone from PC, the screen turns on.
Maybe I shouldn't try to run application which is installed on SD just after disconnecting phone from PC. Maybe I should have waited for a minute. I've tried to do it once, because I wanted to see the result as soon as possible, so the phone said that "Application is no longer installed", I though that Android haven't mount SD yet and tried later. It worked. But next time when I used USB cable, all SD-card apps became uninstalled.

I'm sorry, forgot to mention. I'm using HTC Desire with Android 2.2(2.10.405.2).
Fast Boot option may be the culprit
In case anyone checks this old thread...
CUT TO THE SOLUTION BELOW -- SEARCH FOR ////
Some (not all) of my apps moved to SD (all by Titanium Backup Pro) have begun to disappear and (sometimes) reappear without warning after I began to add and delete large Virtual Machines created in QEMU from my 16GB SanDisc class 10 microSD card on my HTC Droid Incredible running rooted stock Verizon Android Froyo 2.2.3. I know this thread is far from my phone's "home base", but from what I can tell this problem with disappearing apps located on an sdcard is NOT determined by hardware or even Android version.
I also happen to use LauncherPro by Federico Carnales instead of the built-in HTC Sense launcher. I noted elsewhere on XDA that a user had suggested that because at least some (maybe all) launchers start before the SD Card that this may be a problem, especially if changes are made to the sdcard that the launcher did not perform, or was not active during their performance by other apps such as Titanium Backup. That fits my situation, because I unmounted the SD, physically removed it to a PC, and added/deleted large VM files to save (lots) of time. No problems of this sort before I did this, so there must be some connection.
I noted that other users have tried reformatting SD, substituting different brands of SD, using newer/older SD etc. None of these reliably helped. So I skipped these options.
//// The (simple!) solution I tried that SEEMS to work (only time will tell!) is buried in the main Android Settings (accessed from the Menu button while in Home screen). Under "Applications" there is a setting "Fast Boot" that I checked long ago and forgot about (it seemed like a good thing to do at the time). The text warns "Turn off to use some Market apps" (that shows the age of my 2-yr old used phone and Android OS -- ohmygosh!-- because it refers to Market rather than Google Play Store!) Anyway, I unchecked the option and rebooted the phone.
Yes, it took a bit longer to boot (maybe a whole minute!), but after waiting about another minute ALL my home screen apps had normal icons and loaded properly. Titanium Backup Pro batch scenarios confirmed there were no apps in a forced uninstalled state (i.e. I had not done the deed, the system somehow had done it or at least rendered the apps "invisible" to Titanium, which decided they needed reinstallation).
The only odd behaviour was that auto brightness was turned off after I unchecked Fast Boot and rebooted. Going into Android Settings > Display and rechecking "auto brightness" took care of that. No other oddities or strange behaviours thus far (but it has only been about an hour).
I will report back here on this thread only (Samsung Fascinate > Fascinate Q&A > What just happend? apps on sdcard) if anything else requires reporting. Silence implies success!

[Q] Looking for stable (stock)ROM for Wildfire S (GSM)

Hi,
I'm fairly new to all this "rooting" and "flashing" but I managed to HBOOT unlock and root my Wildfire S (GSM) and now I'm trying to find a stable ROM version.
Currently my phone has some pre-installed garbage from Vodafone like:
360 My Web
360 Shop
FaceBook
FaceBook for HTC Sense
Gmail
Google Maps
Music Shop
Peep
Qype
Since my phone is constantly full I decided to root my phone and install a custom or stock ROM. But my problem is I am not very familiar with all these different kinds of ROMs. I have done some research and I've come across the following ROMs:
Sense 2.1
CyanogenMod 7 (CM7.2 / CM7 NIGHTLY 2013)
CyanogenMod 9
CyanogenMod 10
CyanogenMod 10.1
I know there are plenty of threads with similar questions but they seem to be outdated to me and therefore I'd like to have some up-to-date info about this. I'm looking for a ROM with the least amount of bugs and possibly a little improved battery life. Currently thinking about Sense 2.1 or CyanogenMod 7.2 or CM7 Nightly 2013. I just want to install a clean ROM with Google Play and a few apps.
Could anyone help me? Thanks!
Hello. I flashed cm 10.1 to my gf's phone, but she seems not to be satisfited. I checked it than and it was pretty nice, some features might take a while but everything works fine after few seconds. Don't have much time for testing other roms, but as soon as possible ill let you know about progress. I hope my English is fine, apologizes otherwise

It sounds like you want CM7.2.
I have been testing different roms and all of them have some bug. I'm now down to two:
1. KitKat_CM7.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525765
It is the only ROM I could achieve 2-3 days of battery life. Everything works, with every few bugs. It is very fast. Exactly what you are looking for.
2. Marvellous CM10 Reloaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481155
This is Android 4.1.2 so it has more features, the interface is more polished, more apps work. It is fast enough for everyday use.
With any of them, you'll need to flash a Int2ExtV2 script after installation to trick the phone to use SD card instead of internal memory. Flash ROM, flash script, reboot, flash gapps. If you flash the gapps in the same session, your home button may not work.

Thanks for your input dawnckr! I'm currently using mod version: CyanogenMod-7-20120717-UNOFFICIAL-marvel with kernel version: 2.6.35.13eoghan-cryptomilk-alquez-r1-g0bb9087-dirty and I like it except the battery life.
Thanks for the tip on using the SD card as main storage, I've read some articles about it and yes I'm having the same lack of storage . I think I will try out cm7.2 KitKat you were talking about and install everything in the right order.
Thanks again!
What apps would you recommend installing on my SD card? I have read that some apps might cause problems when installed in locations other than the internal memory.
The following apps I use regularly:
Google authenticator
Keypass
Youtube
Whatsapp
Gapps
Browser
Dropbox
Maybe some games when I have some storage left
Is it safe to say that all apps will work without any problems when installed on the SD card? I know the apps won't work when the phone is connected to the computer because the SD card will be used by the computer at that moment.

If you use CronMod-INT2EXTV+ , the phone will think it has very large internal memory. I had mine set to 2GB of internal storage. All apps will work. The down side is that you can't swap cards in and out - but if you use one fast and large card, you just leave it in the phone forever.
TO use Int2Ext, you need to format the card to two partitions 1) FAT32 2) Ext2 . You can do that from clockworkmode recovery or on a PC (microsd with adaptor plugged into the SD card slot). Download the script at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124 Flash the script from recovery (you'll need a fresh installation of your ROM).

Good thread Paul nice to have a place to discuss this tablet i have just posted in the other thread you refereed to but will also post it here below
I bought a 10.1 Allwinner A31s 16GB from Ebay for £60 the device details show as a YONESTOPTECH BS1078
It is a nice tablet for the price and came pre rooted witch was great.
One of the first things i did was make a backup off the Rom with online nandroid backup as i like messing and wanted a backup just in case i messed up. and here is where things got messy, online nandroid backup would only be able to restore if i had a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP)
So off i went and tried to install TWRP from the guide on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2210676
Long story short it didn't work an i thought i had bricked it as it was stuck on the boot logo, i managed to find FW for a Q102 A31S Tablet Stock Firmware 4.4.2 wich is the same tablet under a different name, after several failed attempts to recover through phoenix suite as i couldn't get it into recovery, i downloaded phoenixcard and successfully flashed the FW Phew all was good lol.
So if anyone has successfully installed a custom recovery any info would be grateful as it would be nice to try a custom Rom.
I have also had a little play with dragonface for allwinner devices as this lets you change a few things on the stock ROM ISO and then you can re flash with your custom changes, Two things i would like to tweak are volume and lcd settings as i feel the volume on this device is to quiet and the lcd contrast could do with tweaking. in dragon face you can load the sys.cofig settings, i have found the volume config but haven't got a clue what can be changed to increase the max volume level so if anybody has any knowledge then any input would be appreciated, here is the code for audio settings,
Code:
;pa_single_vol,pa_double_vol: 31 level,1.5db/step.0x1f is the large volume.
;cap_vol:use for system record,0x0--0db,0x1--24db,0x2--27db,0x3--30db,0x4--33db,0x5--36db,0x6--39db,0x7--42db
;headphone_vol,earpiece_vol: must least than 0x3b. 0x1 is a step.
;headset_mic_vol: headset mic(mic2) vol,use for phone headset mic call
;main_mic_vol: main mic(mic1) vol,use for phone main mic call
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[audio_para]
audio_used = 1
audio_hp_ldo = "none"
headphone_vol = 0x3b
earpiece_vol = 0x3b
cap_vol = 0x7
pa_single_vol = 0x1b
pa_double_used = 1
pa_double_vol = 0x1f
headphone_direct_used = 0
headphone_mute_used = 0
audio_pa_ctrl = port:PA18<1><default><default><0>
audio_mute_ctrl = port:PA17<1><default><default><0>
headset_mic_vol = 6
main_mic_vol = 6
Thanks in advance for any input

ezcast application install error
Hi,
I get an error message when I try to install the ezcast app on the tablet, do you have any
idea why this would happen? I would really like to cast from this device to my tv.
Also when I try to install the fulltilt poker app from fulltilt.com, the site doesn't recognize my
device as an android device. I got over it by copying the .apk file from another device but
I just thought to mention it.
Thanks,
Zohar
Hmm. I've been able to install ezcast on mine, and maybe the poker game was initially meant for windows. Your tab most likely came pre rooted so check your root permission. For ez cast contact the apps developer he is very good at replying just give all stats from about phone . good luck

I seem to have the identical tablet (specdevice . com / showspec.php ? id=5f13-c36d-ffd4-db280033c587) purchased in October. Mine was also pre-rooted, and it took me a while to figure that out too!
I do not see the messages/crashes that you see; my apps generally run with stability. I do occasionally experience surprise reboots (presumably from crashes) when I connect a USB device or am attempting to upgrade a large app via Google Play. I assume that my Google Play reboots are somehow related to running out of app disk space. Even though my tablet has 32 GB flash internally (split into two 16 GB flash devices) for some reason only 2GB was allocated to the /data partition, where apps are installed. When I found your post, I was actually looking for a solution to increase my tablet's /data partition. I read about different firmware downloads available (earlier in this thread, and in a chinagadgetsreviews blogspot -- sorry, XDA does not let me post links yet) but don't know whether they would help me with my small /data partition problem.
I'd be happy to test any particular apps on my tablet, if that would be of diagnostic use to you. And please let me know if you ever discover a solution to increase the app disk space.

Rooted A320FL, how to achieve permanently mounted adoptable storage?

Hello!
This is my first post in this forum, please be indulgent if I don't understand some stuff or abbreviations immediately.
I recently bought a Galaxy A3 2017 (SM-A320FL) to replace my old one with shattered screen and back cover. I tried the new Poco X3 for two weeks, but I wasn't satisfied with it since it was just wayyy too large for me, and also the phone speaker was unbearably loud (all people around me could follow the conversation on phone, even on lowest volume), which then led to the decision of sending it back and buying another used A3 2017 in good condition, as I was very satisfied with it, except of limited internal storage which continued to be an issue over months and years. And since the spare parts would have cost the same as the smartphone costs used at the moment, the decision was easy.
To avoid the single problem I had with the old phone, I wanted to root the phone right from the start so I could adopt the SD card as internal storage and/or change the folder some apps (especially WhatsApp) are storing their data and media in. Since the phone is factory reset and I have the other one which is still functioning, I don't have to take much care while trying things, which is great. I took yesterday evening until late night for that plan, and although a lot of threads and posts I read said that rooting the stock OS with latest update of Android 8 is not possible, I did it after some trial and error with flashing the custom recovery TWRP through Odin and then flashing SuperSU through TWRP. If a tutorial is needed, I'd happily write down how I did it, just ask.
But I still have a problem with adopting the storage. And as far as I understood, this is related to the storage encryption of Android/Samsung. Please explain if someone knows, I'd really like to understand the mechanisms that make all of this so laborious. I tried to mount the storage in TWRP when I started it first after flashing (it persists btw, as some people said it is gone and no recovery system can be found after the phone booted normally once, why?), but ran into the problem of "internal storage (0MB)". This was solved by wiping it, then I was able to mount the SD card as internal storage and the internal storage also was shown with a reasonable size in MB. I then started the phone which was obviously factory reset by the wiping. Unfortunately I couldn't see any results in the OS (does stock Android or file manager even show these changes in some way?) and also noticed the adopted storage was not anymore adopted when inspecting it in the TWRP recovery and again the internal storage was at 0MB. I then stumbled upon the app "Root Essentials" which is said to be able to adopt the storage, but needs a zip file which must be flashed by the recovery for that process. I tried it, but the flashing process does not work, as it can't find an installation of the app - my guess is, that this also is related to encrypted storage and the 0MB problem, how should the flash be able to look for something in encrypted space?
Soo, my problem now is, that I want to adopt the storage and don't know how to continue & where to begin. I also don't know if that app "Root Essentials" is any good, just read it at several places while googling so gave it a try. The phone is rooted with TWRP (0MB problem persisting) and stock OS now, and the adoptable storage per se is no must-have for me - if there is any other solution to migrate apps and more importantly their data to the SD card, please let me know, I'd be perfectly fine with that also.
Thank you!

Hey there Flo,
I am facing the same issues like you, always having to clear up space (e.g. Chrome cache) because the internal storage is not enough for the apps. And you cannot move many of the apps to the SD card, only their data. Last time I had to rermove Teams altogether because it was eating up 500+MB, and I couldn't afford it anymore as the free space dropped below 600MB.
Sooo, here are some basics I have learnt while looking for solutions.
Current custom ROMs are not an option for me as I use this phone for banking and production tasks, and I could not find any of them stable and issue-free enough to switch from the stock one.
The stock ROM is full of bloatware, especially Samsung stuff I do not need, and some others, like the Facebook app. However, you cannot extend internal storage with your SD card as Samsung does not allow this, and this is impossible with the stock ROM.
So I am stuck here, as I cannot leave the stock ROM, but I am constantly running out of space. Currently, I have rooted my device and installed TWRP, too, and I am planning to try one of the debloated stock ROMs to see if they can solve at least my problem with running out of free space on the internal storage.
In any case, what I can confirm is that you either have the stock ROM, and then you can only install apps on the internal storage, or if you want to extend your internal storage with the SD card, you'll have to choose one of the custom ROMs that allow this and wave goodbye to Knox and some other features.
I hope the above helps.
Hi!
Thanks for your detailed answer!
I didn't find a way to adopt the storage persistently, and I think at this point I'll just take your word that it won't be possible with the stock ROM. I knew that the stock ROM adopt storage option isn't able to be brought back by some adb shell commands as it was possible earlier (until 6.0 Marshmallow I think), but I thought that it maybe is possible by tricking the storage the OS sees with the mount in TWRP before the first start. Doesn't seem to work at all (for mostly unknown reasons, at least for me ).
And same for me, I don't know if the custom ROMs nowadays are better a lot, but doesn't sound like that as you described it. I flashed Resurrection Remix on my Galaxy S4 a few years ago, and although I liked the customizability and slimness, I too often ran into bugs and errors with it, which is why I abandoned the phone in the end.
However, I kind of found a fix I can live with on the SM-A320FL: I downloaded Link2SD from Playstore and also upgraded to the plus version, which is reasonably priced. This enables to also store app data on the SD card. I tried it with the 64GB SD card I had rolling around, partitioned it with MiniTool Partition Wizard following this guide to conform Link2SD requirements, and it worked perfectly. I also uninstalled all sorts of bloatware, and as far as i saw the shift to external storage of the apps I tried works fine. All data, including app, cache and app data is moved (and/or linked, not sure) to the ext2 partition on the SD card (which is shown to be a broken partition in Android storage settings btw, but that's fine). If any, only <1KB of file size per app remains in internal storage, which seems great!
I am currently waiting for my ordered 256GB SD card (U3, A2) to arrive next week, then I will do the full port from the old to the new A3 and I'll see how WhatsApp and Spotify behave being stored in external storage. Hopefully Link2SD is able to shift them, especially WhatsApp, since that was the main factor in cluttering the internal storage very fast and efficient.
If the Link2SD doesn't work for WhatsApp media, I'll give FolderMount a try, the direct mount then seems to work for many.
Since you mentioned it: What are the great features of Knox? The secure folder? Data encryption by screen lock? I can't remember using Knox features knowingly in the past three years. Is Knox not already blown by flashing a custom recovery?
Thanks for your help!

The internal storage data partition not mounting in TWRP is due to the partition being encypted when Android is booted, but also due to quota being enabled and latest version of TWRP for this phone (3.2.3-0 AFAIK) being unable to mount this. Fix for this is to flash a zip from Zackptg5 which disables both these options. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...y-a3-sm-a320f-fl-y-2017.3562302/post-79260952 for full details
I see that OrangeFox is available now (https://orangefox.download/device/a3y17lte), so maybe this is able to mount without these problems, I am going to flash this soon so I will let you know!
FYI I am using H-ROM by Astrako. Very close to stock (it is a port from the A7) and seems to work well. VoWiFI is working in this ROM which was essential for me.

Yes, with OrangeFox I didn't need to flash the zip file from Zackptg5 which removes quota. I didn't get on with the latest H-ROM 6.0 (too many niggles, particularly ambient light sensor doesn't work so no adaptive brightness; fingerprint scanner doesn't work in apps; video call doesn't work in WhatsApp), but OrangeFox worked really well, definitely recommend it. Sorry for not remembering to come back and update sooner!

Currently I use H-ROM 2.0 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...7-port-v2-0-pie-oneui-64-bits-treble.3940532/) which works well. Only two main niggles that I might change back to stock - video doesn't work in WhatsApp (but is OK in WhatsApp Business) and some VoWiFi calls have echo, but this might just be normal for VoWiFi, not had echo on normal cell network calls. Stock ROM is now available with Android 8 (Oreo) so when I have time I was intending to try that again, maybe with debloat to remove some of the stock apps.
I would recommend OrangeFox, and although I started with TWRP and flashed this over the top, I think you should be OK to just flash this straight from Odin. TWRP would only flash in old version of Odin, I would guess OrangeFox maybe would be the same. Flash in AP using older version Odin3 v3.12.10. Untick auto reboot, when complete power off with vol down + power, then force to recovery using volume up, home and power

just to clarify I could use Orange fox with stock rom and enable adopted storage? So I can use SD for apps when necessary.
I did get adopted storage working of sorts, but certain screens were missing from storage in the setting menu (I think Samsung didn't include or removed these as the phone was not intended to work with Adopted Storage), so it would crash when trying to perform certain actions. I can't actually remember now if you could move apps to the Adopted Storage using the standard system menus, it was so flakey that I stopped using that and switched to using Link2SD (which I had already used before so had a Plus license for) and this does exactly what I needed. These are the steps I used to get Link2SD working: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-1-6-link2sd.919326/post-82757807. I don't think you need the Plus version, but it doesn't cost much, removes the ads and lets you move a few more files. Hope that helps
