Hi there,
Are there any "app2sd" type of apps that is actually working with the Xoom / HC3.2 ? In fact, are there any apps that are working with Xoom / HC3.2 yet ?
I mean... what is it good for ? Storing documents and media files ?
Sorry for the stupid question... I just can´t see this 32GB MicroSD sitting there empty...
If your Xoom can read external SDcard, you can store anything on our sdcard, except games/applications data cannot store on sdcard.

Hello all- I am looking to switch back to Windows and am looking at the Nokia 820 and 920, obviously the 920 is higher end, etc... but the addition of the micro sd slot on the 820 is very enticing.
Is the addition of the micro sd card any advantage as far as being able to install .xap files or any other say homebrew type things (if even possible).
One other thing... I currently have a 32GB micro sd in my Galaxy S3 with lots of music, will I be good to go on inserting the micro sd in the 820 or will I have to reinstall all the music using Zune software ??
Thank you for any help !!!!

You can only keep Music, Videos, Photos and (using a recent Beta Labs App from Nokia) Offline Maps on the SD Card. If you currently have regular MP3/AAC-files without DRM on the Card it should work without any changes.
You can not install Apps to the SD Card and Apps can not move their data to the SD Card. About 2.5 GB on the internal Memory are used by the OS + ~ 1 GB for temporary storage that can't really be deleted (the possibility to clean up additional temporary storage was included with a recent Firmware update for the 820).
So basically: if most of your data is Media you can use the SD Card for this but if you plan on installing a number of big Apps (e.g. Games like Modern Combat 4) I believe it would be better to take a phone with more internal storage.
Installing Apps from the SD Card can help to install big Apps if the internal storage is almost full as less temporary space is needed that way. Sideloading of Homebrew Software is currently not possible without an official Developer Unlock and even then I don't know of any Homebrew Apps that have been able to do more than what Marketplace Apps are able to.
Cheers for all that information Stevie...:good: :good:
It seems that the 920 will be the way to go then which definitely pleases me. 32GB internal memory should be more than enough, now the final decision.. which colour ???? LOL
Cheers mate, LL13-
I've recently picked up the xperia z and a 64gb mem card. I'm trying to load my music on my external SD but everytime I do it by album it only copies a small amount of data and makes the music unplayable due to the fact it'll play the first 2 seconds then skip... Any way around this?
Also is it possible to copy the data from games (Nova 3, GTA 3 etc to my external as I wanna keep the internal for apps only?
EDIT: Btw if it matters I'm on .423
Thanks!

No u cannot move apps-data to external (cause android 4.x.x not support app to sd-card)
about ur problem with music u can do this for troubleshooting;
test another sd-card
force stop app (from setting > apps > all)
clear cache
clear data
Format Sd-card (i recommend to do it with unix like ubuntu) (what is ur sd-card?)
:good:
Don't use album to transfer music. Go to settings...Xperia....USB connection mode.... Change it from MTP (media transfer protocol) to MSC (mass storage card). Accept all disclaimers that internal memory cannot be connected and so on. Connect to PC using USB cable. Open ext storage card in My Computer (in case auto open doesn't occur) and transfer any amount of music/video to card by copy/paste or drag & drop. Transfer speeds are faster in this mode, than in MTP...
Dead Cookies leave mo trails...
Or fastest method:
- pull out memory card, put it in card reader and Copy/Paste data from PC
gave up decided to format it into fat32 and works flawlessly with no drop in storage
@x102x96x
I meant the data the game downloads not the app itself I wanna use my external as the storage but last time I used the mod but it screwed up my systemui so I ditched it.

I hope you formatted it within Xperia with it's own format tool from Settings It is highly recommended to do that.

Again i should say NO
the game app will search for its data and if u move them to external it won't find them and try to download again and all ur personal data in the game will lose
> u cannot force game app to read from external memory for data unless have root access or use custom ROM

Searched the forum and did not see anything directly for Nook HD/+ or CM so im here...
I would like to move some programs (more so games) to a SD Card and just pop the card in when i want to play the games.
Is this possible ?
Would this work for "fast paced" graphic games like race car games (reading off SD card) ?
Could i use symlinks form the games org install location and point them to the SD Card ?
_
I wouldn't mind knowing about this either, I have titanium backups which usually has an option to move things to SD and there isn't any option for the Nook.
About the question for racing games, I doubt there would be any issue as I've had all my games installed to SD on my old Evo 3D and I never noticed a degradation in game play. Perhaps slightly longer load times, but I can't say I noticed any.

I use GL to SD to move game data to the SD card, and it works for most games just fine. I have a 32GB Sandisk Ultra, and I am running CM 10.2.
What does everyone think the chances of getting official 6.0/Marshmallow on the Amazon Fire tablet (2015)?
I know its one of the cheapest budget tablets available and so dont have big expectations. But the main reason I would be interested in 6.0 is the new sd card feature, where you would be able to properly make use of a large micro sd card, as the built-in 8GB (or whats actually available) will get filled up pretty easily.
Well it may get Amazon's version of it eventually, but Amazon's rom does let you move a lot to the SD card anyway. Under 5.1.1 there are options for
Install Supported Apps on your sd card
Download Movies and TV shows to your sd card
Download music to your sd card
Store photos and personal videos on your sd card
Mind you not sure which count as "supported apps"

Is there a way to move large games to your SD card? They always install to the Android/obb file location on the internal and not the Android/obb on the SD card.
I've been wondering the same thing too. I've moved the game to sd card but it's data in obb has to be on internal or it can't see it.

Exactly, games like GTA: San Andreas is 2 or more gigs so that knocks a huge portion out of the internal not to mention the system seems like it runs slower the more data is saved to the internal.

If you're rooted et al, install xposed and use the module "obb to sd". I do, it works perfectly. Nothing like moving Hearthstone to the sd to free up space.

On SlimLP I have this app running https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd. It works perfectly. I have a 64GB SD and a 32GB ext4 partition for apps. The other 32GB is in exfat for general files and such forth.
I think i have never noticed before, as this is the first device i have not rooted or installed a CR.
But i have noticed on large games with large OBB files, when moved to the SD, the OBB file stays on the internal storage, and only the apk file itself moves to the SD Card, things like game settings etc.
So it kinda makes it abit pointless having a SD Card apart form Photos, Movies and Music.
My 64GB Card has become redundant until i root / xposed it.
Anyone else noticed this, or found a work around, They removed adoptable storage didnt they?
working as intended.
it's one of Google's strangest choices, to not include what's typically the largest file in the "move to SD" option.
something you could do is manually move all your obb files to the sdcard, and then move them back temporarily when you need them.
or keep less large games on your phone.

Its BS that they still can't manage to do this in 2019..
My tablet has 32GB and I bought a 256GB MicroSD for this to store games. But it's pretty much useless..
I should of went with an iPad........
