How to move app from internal memory? - LG K10 Questions & Answers

Guys, i can move my app ex:asphalt from internal to external memory, because there have no button for move app in the app setting. Any solve for this? Thanks

You have to "adopt" the external storage, which wipes and encrypts the card. It should then work, and might become the default destination for apps.

How do you do this? Cause in ms428 theres no mount as internal option under storage.

Use 3rd party apps for that purpose

You can do it if you have android 6.0, just enter into settings -> apps -> choose app that you want to move -> Storage -> Change -> SD card

[Q] HTC EVO Internal Space Full.

Hi guys I've been messing around with my phone all day. I have been restoring my apps back onto my phone and all that good stuff. I finally fixed my phone and when I was restoring my phone it tells me that my internal space is getting full. How is that possible if I only have 2 apps from the market installed? Any ideas?
thanks!
try clearing cache of your apps. If you have root access, download cachemate and use that. you can also move apps to your SD card to free internal space.
hope this helps
edit: you can also try wiping your phone back to stock if you continue with these issues
Weird I uninstaled Google maps update and and I now have 45MB of internal storage. lol??
Im restoring my apps then going to move them to my SD. Whats a good program to move them?

If you are using a custom ROM and it supports it then apps2sd because you can actually go beyond the 512 MB limit, you can make it as large as your entire SD card if you like... of course it has a trade off: the card must be repartitioned before you can use apps2sd meaning that you need to copy your card over a computer, partition and then copy back your stuff.
I use and would recommend that you use froyo to move apps to SD card. You can also move apps from the SD card back to your internal memory.
You can move most apps to SD Card; but some apps you do not have the option to move to SD card, and must remain on internal phone storage.
Follow these simple steps to move / to know whether the app can be moved or not.
1. Open Settings -> Applications ->Manage Applications and tap on the app you want to move.
2. Tap on the box “Move to SD card”.
3. Now tap on “On SD Card” to know whether your app has been moved or not.
You can also move back the app to phone memory by tapping on application and then selecting “Move to Phone” option.

The thing is..I only have 2 apps installed from the market and it's saying my internal memory is full. That just doesn't make sense.
Sprints stock ROM will give you a low storage warning when you have less than 45MB free space which I think is a little high. Thank god for apps2sd.
do you use the stock HTC mail app? if you do, try this: when you delete mail in the stock HTC mail app, it doesn't delete it, but just moves it to the 'Trash' folder? I've just cleared 6Mb that accumulated of the last month or so myself...
if all else fails, you might have to factory reset the evo.
thanks for all the help. so i needed up booting in recovery and clearing everything now it went to like 300mb and im restoring my apps. do you think i should put them on my SD card?
I would put what you can on your sd card...you can always move them back to the phone if needed

curious to know what caused that low memory problem in the first place? that's just weird.
i am not sure what causes the memory leak; but others i know with evos have had the same issue and a factory reset has solved the issue every time. good luck!

[Q] Internal storage

Hi all,
My previous phone was a HTC Buzz (Wildfire). It doesn't have any internal storage, just a pre-installed sd-card.
I got my One V now for 4 weeks, and I just found out it does have internal storage beside the sd-card slot. But what exactly is it?
In Settings --> Storage space it says it got 1 GB of internal storage, of which is 555 MB used by apps. What partition is it they are talking about? In ES File Explorer, I see /mnt/emmc. It is completely empty. Or are they referring to the /data partition (which I, as user, can't really use directly)?
If I want to transfer my own files (music and so on) to the internal storage, in what folder do I need to place it?
Currently a lot of apps are using my sd-card as storage for their settings and caches. Will they use the internal storage for that if I take out my sd-card?
Thank you in advance
Your wildfire could install what....20-40 apps before getting a low storage warning?
Install an SD card, all your apps go to internal, (except app data...ie games) and your SD card is your "user storage".
Unless you install over 200 apps, most of them large, you will never get a low storage warning on the One V and that is a good thing.
When you want to upgrade to a new SD card, just copy the contents over to your new one, install and go........that simple.

Ahhh, you mean that 95 or so mb of user storage?
1. No, you cannot move apps there
2. Really, not alot of place for music, some photos sure, just select internal storage in the camera app.
The 95 mb or so HTC left us is basically a joke, if youx have a suitable sd card (16gb ones are twenty bucks or less) I really sugest using that and consider that small space as a buffer if your card is removed and you want to suddenly snap a photo......or whatever.
In the future, when we have s-off and can repartion the nand that tiny space will be irrelevant.

I don't know how much it is. I think it's the /mnt/emmc partition. I thought it was 1 GB.

No problems man, I'll start at the beginning.
Go to settings > storage, you will see:
Internal storage, total space 0.94GB...........it will report apps, and available. The two together should add up.
This is where your apps go
Phone storage, total space 95.23MB.........then available (mine is 95.21MB!!!!)
Storage Card, same total space / available.....this depends on what card you have
This is where app data goes, "user storage" ie. photos, videos, music, email attachments, downloads, etc. It will default to using your SD card if installed. If there is no SD card, or you temporally remove it, it will save stuff to your phone storage.
What partition is it they are talking about? In ES File Explorer, I see /mnt/emmc. It is completely empty. Or are they referring to the /data partition (which I, as user, can't really use directly)?
Click to expand...

The "partions" are as listed above. There are some directories that you may not be able to view because you may not have "root access". If you root your phone, you will now have access to view and edit the entire file system (kinda like being an admin on a windows machine). Unless you are an advanced user, this is not really required. Some system files are hidden by default for good reason, change them or move them (or delete them like my Dad on his home computer**#@!) and you can really mess things up in a way you do not realize until later.
If I want to transfer my own files (music and so on) to the internal storage, in what folder do I need to place it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Like I said before, the "internal storage" is for apps only, your "user storage" on your phone is only 95.23MB. Not enough for music really, maybe some photos (In the camera app itself under camera setting > storage > you can select storage card or phone storage) but....you are limited to the 95.23MB of space.
Currently a lot of apps are using my sd-card as storage for their settings and caches. Will they use the internal storage for that if I take out my sd-card?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, but they obviously will not be able to access any data on the card that is no longer in your phone!!!
It is easy to upgrade your SD card from the one that came with the phone. hook a USB cable to your phone, select "disk drive" from the drop down menu, copy the contents all at once onto the new SD card (if hooked upto your computer as well), power down the phone, swap cards and reboot......boom....more storage!!!
I hope that answered your questions, if not we'll have to talk S-off, hboots, nand partioning etc!!!!
Regards.
Thank you for the clear explanation!
I'm running Lloir's CM10 build now. So I have root
If I understand correctly, the 1 GB internal storage is the /data/ partition? And /mnt/emmc is just 95 MB of useless storage? Weird that CWM has got an option to make a Nandroid backup to the internal storage then. Won't fit
I've got a 4 GB SD-card btw

Yup, you've got it right.
The CWM probably has that option for other devices. The HTC desire, by default (similiar to the wildfire), 512MB nand, approx 105MB for the user (apps, user data, everything!). With s-off, we had scripts in which the ext3 partion of the sd card would be read as part of the "internal" storage, so not all was lost.
But, back on topic, yes just nandroid to your sd card.
Cheers man, glad to hear your enjoying your phone.

[Q] Move apps from phone storage to USB storage (internal sd card)

Hi,
I have Android 4.1.2 and trying to move apps from phone storage which is only 2GB to USB storage (11.25 GB). But for every app, movable or not when I try to move - hit the "move to sd card" button- . It says "unable to move app. Note enough storage space".
I don't have external SD card right now and I only want to move them to internal. Do you know what can I do?
Thanks

All the roots apps are for moving apps only to external sd card and to change the default storage location to either internal storage or external sd card. None have the option to change it to internal USB storage.

See idk because when I do app to SD on my ROM it goes to my USB storage, which is the internal SD card, 11.9gb, not to my external SD card I have to manually put the apps on external if I want so theoretically it should be putting them there by default, what ROM are u on? Are u rooted? Ever use an app like storage swap or anything? Shouldn't be installing apps in ur system partition, 2gb, that should only be for system apps..?

What I'm saying is I don't know because ur system, no matter what shouldn't be installing user apps in the system partition, my best advice would be to back up what u want from the phone and use Odin to do a complete wipe and unroot to stock 4.1.2 ROM, this will erase all data on the phone and restore it to stock status, from there u can reroot and use TB to get ur apps back, somewhere along the lines it sounds like ur system got confused or something because it shouldn't be putting anything in that 2gb partition, that's only for system and system app data not user, that's the whole reason to have it partitioned off, if it was me that's what I would do, just start over and see if that was it, sorry wish I could help more but I don't have ur device in front of me so I don't know

Thanks for your reply. I have mounted an external sd card and using link2sd to move apps to it. One thing I noticed that with sd card mounted, when I move apps to external sd card, some part of the app moves to the usb storage and also the app size increases after doing so. However, still there is no direct way of moving/installing apps to usb storage without an external sd card.

Actually, the options under Apps2SD in Rom Toolbox Pro are: 1) Auto, 2) Internal & 3) SD card!!
So? anyone could finally move the apps to the INTERNAL memory (those almost 12 GB) and not to the real external SD card?

I tried to use ROM Toolbox's app manager to move apps to the famous "internal SD" of the GS2.
When I move apps to SD (without an actuel SD card), I get no error but the app seems to have simply vanished from the phone with no memory actually freed on the system partition. Does someone understand what happens ?

What is your ROM? Most of my apps go to internal sd storage. The only apps that are on internal are system/came with ROM. I do believe data resides internally on the 2gb partition, but rest is on internal SD. Perhaps, you need a fresh install.

Because I am sure I am not clear, internal partition = 2gb phone storage/internal storage, internal SD = 11.29 GB SD that resides on phone. My apps are going to internal SD when I select SD in ROM toolbox options, NOT to the removable external SD card I put in my phone
The problem with other app2sd apps is that they try to install to external SD, hence why your apps disappear, (for those apps, you need ext SD partitioned with iirc ext4). Try romtoolbox first, open, go to configure apps2sd, and it should recognize your onboard SD card)

Well, it is possible it is the stock ROM. You could try a
factory reset in your custom recovery and see what happens or full wipe and install a custom stock ROM, (backup 1st, make sure you have appropriate recovery version for installing ROM, etc).
Apps to ExtSdCard
Since I have a 16 GB ExtSdCard, I want to install and run apps from that on Android 4.1.2 on a Samsung GalaxyTab2 7. I am using Directory Bind now, which can't seem to work with all apps, so I am wondering if anyone has come up with or knows about a more perfect solution...it was no problem with Android 2.3 on my old rooted phone, but no so with this rooted Tablet...

[ZE551ML] [TWRP - 3.0.2.0] [CM13] Cannot access storage from recovery.

I switched to adopted storage.
After starting MM for the first time you will be given an option to reformat the sdcard in which case it will be fused (figuratively speaking) with the internal memory.
Now, the storage will not mount on computer, will not be seen from the recovery!
What I am doing wrong?

I'm sorry, it's been several months since I did this. I swear it used to be there! I guess things have changed.
A couple of probably dumb questions, have you rebooted since you set this up? That's important. And you do know that you need to change it to file transfer mode after you plug into the PC?

Shield TV 2017 16GB Non Pro no space left

Hi,
If I root it... would it be possible to move data (obbs) using app2sd (AppMgr Pro) ?
Now I can move app to adopted internal storage (usb key) but no data !! :crying:
Or is there any other option (run from external drive) to increase this stupid 16GB limited space ?
Need it for large files e.g. Doom BFG which's data takes more than 3GB in obbs/.
Does the disabling of Forced Encryption help and is it possible to perform on this device ?
THX for any tip
Adaptive Storage
16gb is a little small for such a good machine. I installed 2 USB (3.0) thumb drives on mine. One as adaptive and the other as removable. The adaptive drive (128gb) combines with the base 16GB for usable 114gb. The shield will install/move applications to the the thumb drive. Have you tried this?

Exactly did.
My adaptive drive is usb2.0 Kingston DataTraveller 16GB.
Adaptive internal storage was made and possibility to move App to Adaptive was used.
But..... data in /obb/ which does take almost 3GB were not moved only App.
So problem with low disk space is not solved at all.
Can not move it manually because adaptive storage is n/a (encrypted).
Probably not. Adoptive storage is combined with main storage. Not treated as 2 drives. Not being rooted, the device locks down moving this kind of data. I see apps installed on the USB part of adoptive storage, so nVidia does separate the 2 forms of internal storage for its own purposes. I see data in obb as being no different as moving apps to SD. Have you posted this on the Geforce forums?
https://forums.geforce.com/default/board/159/shield-tv/
Did you try enable developer options and enable force everything save to the USB? I do that for all my app and nothing save on Shield tv
Edit: the option name is "force allow app on external", at the bottom of developer options

Menu / Storage & reset / Internal shared storage / Apps / Downloaded Apps / <App> / Storage used / USB Drive.
This will move App not its Data !! Any other option ?

If you did not migrate data to external drive right after you formatted it for adaptive storage you should see an option to migrate the data...
I did migrate the data after format.
Now I got new App installed so its new data has be be moved again.
As I see well - this is possible only if you got root rights.

If you migrate to USB then the data should install on USB directly
I notice that you are using a usb2.0 drive, will it be that problem? As I remember if the drive too slow then it may refuse to work. Dunno if this related to your case
usb2.0 is no problem. Apps moved to usb storage works without visible delay.
the main problem is - user is not allowed to use his own usb adopted storage ? we need to use this adopted storage space for any storage. this is very stupid limitation from Ggle sorry

I have noticed that sometimes not all data is moved. So I migrate data to adaptive drive, reboot, migrate data back to internal drive, reboot and then migrate data back to adaptive drive which seemed to move all data like the large data files for Grand Theft Auto

I see option Migrate data (right corner) under Storage / App X on MOBILE (marshmallow) but do not see this option under NVIDIA SHIELD TV (nougat).
Where is it located ?

Cant recall off the top of my head but if you go into Storage & Reset you should see option to migrate data when you check the storage used for each drive.
Even if I clicked on Move Data to Adopted storage and next reboot my ShieldTV 2017.... free space remains the same.
Need to move data from /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/xxx (and not /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/).
Is this "OBB" not possible to move to adopted storage ??

Found answer on internet. OBB is not moved !! Only Apps and Data.
So if your App does use OBB you are not able to move it to adopted storage (obb can take some GBs so you may soon be out of space even if you got adopted storage) .
Solution is to ROOT and use MountFolder which can move your OBB to e.g. SDcard and then point to it. Another reason why you are "forced" to root your devices.
