Moving apps to the SD Card - Moto Z2 Force Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
How can we transfer apps from the internal memory to the micro sd card? I'm able to transfer data (pictures, videos etc) not not applications.
Android 8.0, stock
Thank you in advance

Not possible without root. With it folder mount, fbind, and other solutions are available. The Z2 Force doesn't support adoptive storage, which allows Android to use sdcards as a directory for app installs.

[Q] Simulated SD Card folder

Hey guys, I installed the I747MVLLH1 Android 4.1.1 early leak and since then it created a simulated SD Card on my internal storage without my knowledge. I have since installed numerous games and apps that require an external SD card to run, but I want to move them onto the actual internal storage at this point.
I cannot get access for apps on the external storage without deleting the simulated SD card folder and I don't want to have to reinstall all the apps over again. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to get around this?

Enhance internal storage with SD card

Is there any chance that I can upgrade the internal storage with SD card by e.g. mouting it in a specific way?
My internal space is full and it askes me always deleting apps, but moving apps with FireTV or AppMgr to SD is not always an option.
Thank you for your hints or ideas!
If you use Kodi (which can be very big & hog loads of your internal data) use this to move it to a external sd card or USB stick - http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-partially-or-entirely-move-kodi-data-to-external-usb-storage/

Issues moving certain apps to External SD

I have a LG G3 running stock M 6.0
I'm trying to increase my 16GB flash size or at least move my big apps to my external SD.
I did OK with Spotify and some others, but few others (like some games) are not moving their data to my external sd.
I have problems with those apps detecting my Internal Storage as my external SD card due to the fact that the Android mounts the internal storage in
/sdcard/
linked to some other folder
/storage/emulated/0
while my real external SD card is actually mounted on
/storage/7FB0-1DEE/
What on the earth is this thing calling my internal storage, sdcard, and my external sdcard to some strange mounted folder with a weird code that of course my apps have no idea wth is that...
Any ideas how to workaround that? Any guidelines will be very much appreciate it.

PD. I don't want to use any App2SD or FolderMount rooted 3rd parties to create logical links/shortcuts and "pretent" or make thing the app the files are on the internal storage, when they are on the external sd. That thing works OK. I rooted my stock FW and tested it that way, but I dont want my phone to have root access.
PD2. I installed RR582-Nougat711 to test this Ext SD adoption (which is not available on G3 Stock M 6.0). It sort of worked OK but I lost my ext sdcard when connecting it to my PC. I'm not willing to make my external sd part of the internal storage anymore. That think is awkward, encrypting my card and losing portability to MTP transfer.

How to install apps on SD card - A5 rooted

I don't want to use adoptable storage as I only want certain apps on the SD card because if all of them were the load times would be terrible. How do I selectively install on SD card?

Not enough storage space

I recently bought a Redmi Note 7 and installed a SD card for extra storage. The system shows that I have the extra storage but when I try to download an app I get a storage error. How do I install and move my installed apps to the SD card. This seems like a very serious flaw in the design.
Same problem, any solution?
I'm having the same problem with my Redmi 7, have you found any solution to it? I can't find any way of moving apps and content to my external SD card. it is getting a bit ridiculous now at this stage.
Install DiskUsage from play store, and see what is taking up space
there are two ways to use SD card to save app data
1. enable adaptive storage (on our device it has to be enabled through adb, google it); when using this option sd card won't be usable on other devices
2. partition your sd card, basically you have to create a second SD card partition where you can save your data, then you can use apps like app2sd or link2sd to move apps to SD card
