Like CM but need app to sd - which ROM? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
CM 13 is great and has solved my GPS problems which occurred in stock marshmallow but I really need a ROM which allows me to move apps to a micro sd card designated as external storage (not internal). Can anyone recommend a ROM which is close to pure android and allows transfer of apps in this way?
Thanks
Sean

Which version of the G3 are you using? Did you get the CM13 from XDA?

Android fixed rom possible (not from SD Card) / TomTom on Android ?

I tested one of the Android roms by SD Card, but isn't it possible to flash it as a fixed rom on our Touch Pro II ?
And is TomTom available for Android or which GPS program do your prefer for Android ?

SD Card is necessary now. Developers are working on NAND, but it's not ready yet...

AOSP apps2sd?

Hello everyone,
I don't know if this has been asked already, but I looked and I didn't find anything about this subject!
I know there is apps like folder mount or similar apps to move any apps to your sd card (or at least the data), and I KNOW an international TW rom has native apps2sd. Anyways, does anybody know if aosp based roms are ever gonna support moving apps to your sd card natively?
Thanks.

Is it possible to disable internal memory

Hello,
I just switched from LG L9 (P760) to Xperia M.

In CM 10.2 for LG there is a method to permanently switch internal memory with sd card developed by AntonX

Do you think this is possible with our phone ?
It's in development still early stages yet

You can refer to my guide in the development section to switch the internal with external storage.

Chinese ROM vs International ROM

My P6 came with International B118.
After using MIUI ROM on my P1 for couple of years I was annoyed by lack of one single feature in P6 ROM: Ability to set default storage location to External SD Card. I tried Folder mount but wasn't to happy with that solution.
But when I flashed Chinese ROM B118 this feature was there! I am able to set default storage location to External SD card!
Why is this not in International version? Makes no sense.
There are quite a few extra features that the Chinese versions have, and I agree, it doesn't make any sense.

Good to know, thank you.
I will stick with Chinese version for now, as miz_pimp noted there are some other features not found in International version.

Firmware upgrading advice please

I still get lots of use out of my SM-P600, but I'm hitting a bit of a problem with free space.
I use OneNote combined with the S-pen as my note-taking combo of choice and I have extensive notes. OneNote doesn't have the ability to save notebooks to the external SD card and I work offline a lot, so can't readily open/close notebooks from the cloud. The point is, I'm now struggling a bit for free space on the device.
My newest phone (Android 6.0.1) has the ability to 'integrate' external sd memory into the main device memory.
Is that a firmware feature, or is it hardware?
Would upgrading my P600's firmware give me this functionality and let me have a lot more space to play with?
If so, what ROM upgrade should I use?
Sorry if these are stupid questions, but a pointer in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.

If you are interested in rooting and installing Xposed framework, there is an Xposed module called XInternalSd that you can use.
That said, if you aren't familiar with the risks of root, xposed, flashing, etc, be sure to read up on it all a bit first.
Xda module thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-disablesignaturecheck-t2789267
Xposed module page: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.pyler.xinternalsd
Good luck, and I hope this helps!
G'day John
Both Marshmallow & Nougat have the ability to integrate the sd as internal memory but you may need to install a custom ROM to achieve this. This will most likely involve you losing data. I'm a novice myself but so I am happy to lose data and reformat and start fresh, but there may be utilities to back up such things.
i recently installed Lineage OS myself but a host of issues so I then went the AOSP build and I am really happy with that, if you want to know how to do that I am happy to help.
Thanks kypreo,
I wasn't sure if it was a default feature or custom to certain suppliers, so that's good to know.
Also good to hear that some builds have issues and are, perhaps, to be avoided.
I've had a bit of a clear-out of some less-used apps, so the pressure's off a little. But I may well go down the AOSP route you suggest.

I went down that route and so far so good, sometimes its just dumb luck. To alleviate some file issues use an app called cc cleaner to ease off some system files to give you some breathing room. You can also move off app data on apps onto the SD card as well. just be aware once the apps update they go back to the internal storage sometimes so you will need to move them again.
Another reason as to why I went to a custom ROM.

Hi, sorry to hijack the thread. I have the 3g variant and have tried both Lineage 13 as well as 14.1 and experience random reboots, crashes and hanging. I am back to stock Touchwiz Lollipop 5.1.1 as of now but would be happy to try out AOSP rom. Can you please provide me with the link to download the rom?

If you are back with stock firmware you are already with an AOSP rom...

Hi mate
Sorry for the delay, please see links below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-android-source-project-19-11-2016-t3503423 (rom gapps)
https://gapps4android.wordpress.com/2016/03/20/gapps-package-comparison-which-to-choose/ ( a guide to select which gapps to use)
Be aware you need to root the original rom and install TWRP 3.0.0 aqnd above. Install the AOSP rom but do not reboot, install Gapps because if you reboot you lose TWRP and won't be able to install Gapps. I had to go to the original and do it from scratch.
Goodluck Soks
