Install Apps to SD Card on riva - Xiaomi Redmi 5A Questions & Answers

Hi folks.
This has been my biggest complaint since I got this phone. I wasn't bothered that it only had 16 GB memory, because I planned to install apps to the SD card. I didn't imagine that the phone didn't allow it. Now, I can't install any apps unless I delete others.
Can anyone confirm that this is possible with riva using AOSP, or some other OS? To install apps to the SD card? It's the only reason I'm interested in a custom ROM.
Thanks

[Q] Problems with moving applications to my SD card

Hey people, I'm experiencing some problem with moving Apps to my SD card.
I'm quite a lazy bump and writing this topic probably takes more time than redownloading all of my stuff But I'm stubborn and I want to know how this works.
The reason I want to move stuff to my SD card is the fact I ****ed some stuff up and I want to install a stock rom
I was installing the new system update via this GUIDE, thanks fly out to hamdir
Unfortunately, something went wrong (check it out here), because I had preinstalled apps removed, and by-passing the problem it caused didn't work out well...
So now I want to install a stock rom so the preinstalled stuff will be there again, and I will be able to update it properly.
------------------------
So, the actual question.
Because I want to have all my applications on my SD card anyway, I started moving it through Manage Applications.
For some applications (apps I surely installed myself), I cant select the ''Move to SD" option, while if they already were on my SD card it would say Move to phone - which it doesnt.
Any idea on why I can't? I maked sure they werent running
Because some apps don't work properly if you run them from t the sd card. You'd be better off looking at an app called titanium backup for what you are trying to do.
Sent from my performance enhanced Desire HD
To use titaniumbackup I will need root acces which I mysteriously lost (check the link I gave, hope someone could still assist me there a little..!)
It would seem weird to me that compatability with the SD card is the issue because some of my simple games I can't move either.
For example: Armored Strike. Is there anyone who has this on his phone that wants to check if he is able to move it to SD card?
Thanks

[Q] Which rom based on these requirements ?

Hello all,
I love my 7105 but I have this HUGE problem with the CM nightlies I am using, the internal storage space is always to the max.
I have a 32g SD card and I can't install ANYTHING on it, I have a ton of games and they eat up all in the internal space
So I'd like a rom which allow me to either install the games or any program I want to the SD like it was possible on the older android versions, why the hell did google kill this great feature, I feel like I have an iphone when i get told it can't install or update because it's full.
Or if this is really not possible is there a possibility to mount some "internal" folder on the external sd card, i have tried folder mount to move real racing which is 3gigs by itself, it tells me all is done but the game is still on the inside card...
Thanks a lot for the help
Mokee ROM does allow saving apps to SD card.. Though I don't know if it works on n7105.. I used it on my n7100
Its a CM based ROM.

CM - Installing apps to SD card by default?

I'm just installing the official CyanogenMod 12 nightly ROM to my D855 now and I have just bought a 128GB SD card. I don't want it to go to waste, so one of the things I'd like to do is install apps to the SD card by default if possible (I know some apps have a manifest file that prevents this). Is there some setting in CM12 that lets me install apps to the SD card by default? Or is there any reason I should not do this? I have seen it written that you shouldn't always try to put apps on the SD card, but I don't see why not.

What you can try is: Settings, Apps, press three dots at the top right and select external SD. Don't know if it works at all/with most apps though

Thanks for the solution. It works.

Help with Custom Rom for LG G4 Beat (H735)

Hi Everybody,
My LG G4 BEAT is now a little bit slow.... i have already did what i can do on the current Rom (cleaning, removing apps, clearing cache) - and nothing seems to improve to situation.
i have on it 32 GB micro SDcard, and i save on it everything that can be saved instead on the memory phone, but it is not enough, i have always the same message "not enough space...." when i try to download new Apps or when i'm trying to make Updates.
i figured maybe i'll install a new Rom, and the most important thing is that it will make the phone work faster.
can you recommend me on suitable ROM ? is the first time that i try to do that, so i need some good explanations.
thanks! =)
no bootloader unlock = no recovery = no custom rom
In my experience, custom roms are nearly always faster than stock. And they don't slow down as much as the stock rom. Perosnally I like vanilla android roms with a few tweaks. I find they are the most stable and least prone to slowdown over time. I've used Cyanogenmod in the past and loved it, but there isn't a stable release for the G4. I recommend looking into AOSP-based roms in the Android Development section of this forum. Or you could just do a factory reset, which will make your phone faster. It will still slow down over time, however.
I don't think installing a custom rom will really help your problem with not having enough space. However, installing a rom clears your data partition (this means all apps and the saved data with those apps will be removed. Your personal data like pictures and music will be left untouched.) And that means you'll have plenty of free space!
Have you thought about mounting your SD card as an internal partition instead of a media SD card? This allows the system to use the sd card as if it were an internal sd card, meaning you can install apps to it and stuff. But you will only be able to use your SD card for that phone.

No it isn't, it's just hidden.
You can partition your SD Card through ADB.
On reddit (Enable adoptable storage on your LG G4 (stock, no root needed)) there is a nice tutorial for the LG G4, but it works exactly the same way for the G4s.
But read the comments, there you get usefull hints, like only use a part of the external SD as adoptable storage.
Since I use this I have more than enough space with my G4s and it's even faster, if your SD Card is fast enough.
If you need any further details don't hesitate to contact me.
if i install twrp no-troot h735 then flash magisk to phone it will be rooted?

About extending MotoG5 memory with a SD card.

Hello all,
I recently installed LineageOS 16 on my MotoG5 and up to now I'm quite happy about it. But I'm foreseeing problems due to memory shortage anytime soon and I would like to prevent it by extending its memory with a SD card. I would like to ask some questions before deciding what to do.
Before this phone I had a LG Optimus L90 in which I installed a CyanogenMod ROM (I don't remember the version anymore). I remember I could move most of my apps to the SD card with a few touches. I thought it would be the same with LineageOS 16, but it doesn't seem so. Does anyone know why? Is that on purpose? I remember I had my L90 rooted, but I decided not to root my MotoG5, at least for now. Could it be a question of rooted/unrooted ?
I saw that I could either: a) use a SD card as a "internal storage"; or b) use some apps like "Link2SD", "Apps2SD" or "FolderMount". Which one would be the best? Do these apps require rooting my device? I read some pages relating that some people had problems with the "internal storage", but it was not clear it applied specifically to a MotoG5 with a LineageOS. I also don't remember this option in the old CyanogenMod...
Which SD card would you recommend? From what I read I should get a SD with fast transfer speeds to increase performance, but I was wondering if there is a hardware cap that would make useless having a SD card with very high transfer speed? I also imagine that the excessive read/write operations on the card would damage it sooner than in a normal use. I was thinking about a SanDisk Extreme 128GB or more. Would it be good enough?
Best,
