well i never think that when i buy Sony V i see some problem like this !!
i have only 3.7 GB internal memory and about 2 GB of this cant be used and not free in the first time i run the phone !!
so i can install Only 1 HD game like FIFA 14 at all and when i do this i get the internal memory is full or most used and please free up some space !!
i though when this phone support SD card it means i can install anything like Data of HD games in SD card so 4 GB or 8 GB internal memory not cause problem but it seems i thought wrong !!
is there any standard or good way ( without losing speed of phone or not responding apps ) for put a game data on SD card and make it work ?!?
any hack ?
i read some where about Disable internal memory and make SD card primary but it`s for another Brands like HTC and i don't know this will work or not
anyway it will be Great if there is way to just link between app and data folder in SD card and not need to disable Internal Memory , cause i think moving all internal data to SD make Phone slower
You'll never get the the exact size as free space on any phone..
Install LP (search LP, by chelpus).
Now download your game data to your primary sdcard, and move it to the same place in external sdcard.
In LP, you'll have an option in the 'toolbox' menu - Directory Binder.
As the title says, it binds directories..
Here's an example of a game, which should be in /sdcard/android/obb
Directory with Data:
ext_card/Android/obb/ (if this is where the data is)
Mount Data to:
/sdcard/Android/obb/ (if this is where the data should be)

I used the second method and everything is working, I have 8 Asphalt, FIFA14, Modern Combat 4, Gangstar Vegas and more games installed, working perfect

hi....
i see that u r a hardcore gamer...lol
but the tangjun269 and thunder888 swap mods are not at all perfect.
thunder's swap mod is caused some probs with walkman from adding tracks to favorites and playlists
coming to tangjun269 mod, make sure ur internal memory/sd card is mounting to ur pc or not. In 1st method INT/SD memory are not mounting.In 2nd method SD card is mounting but file transfer fails. copying bigger files makes storage system messed up(reboot required) and the copied files shows 0bytes(i moved my cwm backup and FU**ED UP ). test it a couple of times and say its working or not.
im a big gamer too. so i will simply follow @NuriJ instructions.

Alright, so I've rooted and flashed CWM but when doing backups in
Nandroid and Titanium both stored in on my internal memory, while I want it on my SD card.
SD card: 32GB, FAT32(one partition), tried to make two FAT32 partitions but the second was not detected by both Windows pc and phone.
Phone sees my internal storage as "sdcard0" while it sees my sd card as "extSDCard"
1)Should I use App2SD(they changed it's name to App MIGR) or Link2SD to move apps to SD?
I've got most things covered for Link2SD but I still don't understand the init.d support; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087497
2)While the Nandroid backup is pretty much organised, Titanium backup has like dozens of files, which am I supposed to choose if I wanted to restore my Titanium backup ?( I did the Backup new user+system apps & newer versions batch only.)(Nandroid didn't even detect my SD card while backing up.)
In cwm choose "backup and restore" / "backup to external sdcard" and your backups will be put in clockworkmod-folder on external sd.
For titanium backup you have to set location for backups to be on your external.
Have a look in titanium settings to change the default path.
I use derectorybind to bind the whole android folder to external.
Works great!

Both faria and benzrom (including drom) have init.d support. Just follow the guide to setup ext4 partition and Linux swap partition and link2sd should run fine.

Got both external options to work for now.
Did u mean u bind the whole RAM or just the internal storage. Does it warn you when some apps i.e. widgets can't be moved(before it's broken) or doesn't it have that limit like Link2SD ? (Am still hestitating to use it;
-App2SD has this note:"Move apps function may not work on your devcie as manufacture removes the function of moving apps to SD from Android system" don't know whether we have that.
-Link2SD has sort of difficult requirements before install.
-DirectoryBind; Because many issues where posted by members.

Directorybind has nothing to do with ram. You just symlink appdata from "/sdcard/android" to your external to get more internal space
Never had any problems with it and im using it on three different devices.

Got confused; I meant system ROM, since I just saw ~260MB left, but I suppose I made a mistake cause the system saves data to my internal storage too, am I right... o.0 ?
What are the differences between DirectoryBind, App MGR and Link2SD anyways?

How much space for;
FAT32 partition
Ext4 partition
Swap partition
and why on a 32GB SD card, the values.
The fat32 can be any size, this is your normal sd card data that you can use on your pc (music, videos, pics etc).
Ext4 should be however many apps sizes you want. Like if you have a lot of play store downloaded then set this as big as you think you need but save some space for linux swap.
Linux swap should be minimum 300mb (according to the guide), this is like a bit of extra ram incase your system ram gets full. Mine works fine with 800mb.
If you're looking for an example of what you could set, here :
Fat32 : 15gb
Ext4 : 15gb
Linux swap : 1gb
They could work fine is not very complicated unless I'm wrong. Study the guide well and read other people's posts on there too.

Yes 260mb is left on your system partition.
Installed apps goes to "/data" = internal storage.

There is no direct way to move your apps to SD card.
You need to be rooted in order to move apps to SD. Use Folder mount or similar apps to move apps to SD
Hi
Im rooted and I know about FolderMount, but that doesnt move the app. How can I really move apps to external sd?
Thank you

first you should root your phone,i recommend using towelroot.
once you gain root access you should partition your sdcard and add a second primary partiton with ext4 format(set your device's usb mode to mass storage mode and connect it to pc,using minitool partiton wizard is recommended.this way you wont lose data on your sdcard)
i have created a 4gb partiton on my 32gb microsd but you can choose the right partition size according to how much data you want to move(detailed info about the process described in the Link2SD thread)
then you can install Link2SD (free) from the link below,this app can move application file,dalvik-cache and library files.internal data such as downloaded game data can be moved but you need to buy the pro version(it's better to use FolderMount for moving internal data to avoid running out of free space in your microsd's second partiton).

hello, I appreciate this, but something goes wrong with my xperia zr, I made the partition, then reboot, and start the Link2SD again, then it seems to work because it asked me to select the partition, the menu to select was like ext2, ext3, ext4, fat32, etc, then I choosed ext4.
immediately it asked to reboot, but now I have a constantly loop... do you know how can I fix this? thanks so much.

you're welcome our xperia zr does not support the Move to SD feature so when you tap an application in Link2SD and select Move to SD card you see errors.
so this is how you move apps to the second partition of your sdcard:
In Link2SD tap the application you want to move. then at the bottom of screen there is a Create Link button,tap it.
now you can choose the application items to move.you can check all of the available checkboxes or you can choose the ones you wish to move.
when you're finished click OK and Link2SD will link (or in other words move) the application files to sdcard.
if you want to unlink an application from sdcard,select Remove link in application page and Link2SD moves back the application files to internal storage of the phone.
you can always see the free space on the sdcard's second partition by taping Storage info in main window of Link2SD.
thank you bro but I don't have a PayPal account :highfive: let me know if you have any other questions
I just select all the apps and then choose "create link" when the process finished my Xperia ZR just fly! I get the speed back.
I tried to unlock other features buying the app, but it didn't unlock, I try rebooting but the app stills the same.
Thanks again for your big help ?

I got my Sony Xperia ZR and was unable to move any of my apps to SD card. My SD card is currently working fine.THE only problem I am getting is that I the "move to sd card" button is not there. My ZR is updated into 4.4 kitkat and is rooted already. I downloaded the AppMgr III and it still doesn't work.I also tried foldermount and I can transfer apps data to sd card but after then my apps stop working and show an error message.please help if anyone knows how to fix it.
On foldermount make sure to "pin" the apps, the ?pin should be green like the screenshot:

It's an app called Foldermount, you can use it to "redirect" internal folders to your external SD card so you can have more space: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=es_419 It requires root

Thanks a lot.my phone's rebooting problem has been fixed but the moving apps to sd card didn't fix Yet.can you please tell me how to do that?
As far as I understand, the Xperia ZR does not support this. Period. Something to do with the fact that it's internal storage is actually an external that's built into the phone and emulated to act as the internal. It might even be a limitation of KitKat, but I don't think that's likely. Your best bet is Link2SD (preferrably pro) for regular apps and games, and FolderMount for apps with obb files like Injustice, Gameloft games, etc. Link2SD can be somewhat confusing though, though it's a little easier if you have some basic experience with Linux or partitioning hard disks. I understand that there are some apps that do what Link2SD does, but automates everything and keeps it simple (I think simple2ext might be an example of this, not sure though). Native app2sd and AppsMgrIII and the like are out of the question, though.

It does support it, at least for me. Maybe because I have installed the "KitKat SD Card Full Access" module on Xposed? that and foldermount makes a great combo.
Really? Damn. Partitioned my SD card for nothing. I'm not really sure what Xposed is; I guess I'm going to go find a tutorial for it now. Thanks for the heads up.
P.S. Why would you need foldermount if you have native apps2sd? Doesn't the native move obb files?

Xposed Framework Is really useful and can be a really great complement in some roms (like the Stock one); It let you change the behavior of the system and apps without touching any APKs; so for example, I use it to force Inmersive Mode on apps that doesn't have this feature (I use it for games mostly, so I play at full screen ) and also I have the module named Kitkat SD Card full acces, that itself doesn't let me move apps to the SD, but if I understand correctly, this one let non-system apps gain acces to the SD Card (sdcard1).
I still can't move apps to the SD with that (from settings, also tried App2SD and link2sd and said that there was a problem because storage is being emulated) That's why I need to use FoulderMount and it's simple. select the source folder to mount (from Emulated/0 or sdcard0) and then thee destination folder (sdcard1/[whateverthenameofthefolderis]/) and that's it. there are tutorials (better explained) on how to use it too.

If you're happy using Foldermount, then I suggest you don't bother with Link2SD. Partitioning an SD card is annoying and often messy. Also, it's not very flexible. You can't use any free space in the second partition for storage, which is just wasteful. Don't get me wrong, it's a brilliant app, and a very clever workaround for the problem, but it's not a perfect solution.

Xposed Framework Is really useful and can be a really great complement in some roms (like the Stock one); It let you change the behavior of the system and apps without touching any APKs; so for example, I use it to force Inmersive Mode on apps that doesn't have this feature (I use it for games mostly, so I play at full screen ) and also I have the module named Kitkat SD Card full acces, that itself doesn't let me move apps to the SD, but if I understand correctly, this one let non-system apps gain acces to the SD Card (sdcard1).
I still can't move apps to the SD with that (from settings, also tried App2SD and link2sd and said that there was a problem because storage is being emulated) That's why I need to use FoulderMount and it's simple. select the source folder to mount (from Emulated/0 or sdcard0) and then thee destination folder (sdcard1/[whateverthenameofthefolderis]/) and that's it. there are tutorials (better explained) on how to use it too.

Oh, I see. So there's no way to get the native, Android inbuilt app2sd? Bummer.
The Xposed framework looks very interesting, to say the least. After taking a look, I've decided to go back to stock and just use this for my tweaks and such. How long I'll keep it like that, I don't know, but I'm definitely going to try it. Thanks for explaining it to me.
Hi All,
I currently am using a stock D415 LG L90 (Running Lollipop). I have no intention of rooting anytime soon, but my internal memory keeps getting full from multiple apps I have downloaded. I have a 32GB SD Card which is only using half of its capacity. I currently have it set to save all images and video captured to be stored onto the SD Card.
In my previous phones, I was easily able to dedicate my SD card as my primary source of storage, thus never having to run into the issue of having no memory and what not. Are there any solutions like these available?
I am open to rooting, I am kind of picky of not voiding the warranty as I have only had the phone for 10 months, but if rooting is my only option, I am willing to go ahead and do so.
Thanks All!
Uh, 94 views and no response? I am assuming I am the only person here with this issue?
Unfortunately the only way is to root and use Link2SD which is a paid application. You'll also have to partition your microSD card to have a second ext2/ext3 partition.
You probably have apps such as Whatsapp that refuses to store media files in external SD, I suggest you to backup the media folders to your external SD regularly.
I was facing the same problem with some apps, e.g. I have OALD and this app downloads a huge 450MB database file and stores in the internal SD that cannot be moved to external SD, I had to use Link2SD to move this kind of files to my ext3 partition in the external storage.
Since Android 4.3 we have this limitation, some apps cannot save data in the external storage. In v10 (kitkat) we had an option to switch the internal SD to external SD but it was a very intrusive modification with exposed framework and required unlock bootloader and root.

That is a real bummer, and big question mark as to why this kind of functionality is not open for the user to decide how to allocate memory... Are there specific ROM's that allow this instead?
I have downloaded Link2SD, are there proper tutorials on here on how to get root access on this phone?
It's for security reasons why android don't let some type of data to be saved on external microSD - fat32 doesn't support Unix file permissions, also, some apps such as Whatsapp was designed this way (they propably could save data in external SD, but somewhy they decided to not). In phones with 32 and 64GB this isn't really a problem, but even 16GB can be problematic for heavy users that likes to carry massive data in the phone.
To root, If Purpledrake (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/root-root-lg-g3-easily-purpledrake-lite-t2821000) don't work, your only hope is KingRoot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461). If you use the latter one, I suggest to immediately switch KingUser to SuperSU.

I had tried Purpledrake, but ran into this error:

I went over and tried KingRoot, it ended up working. My question is - Which one is better? If I used KingRoot, what things should I be aware of dealing with this specific root method?
Otherwise, my phone is now rooted. I am going to try and partition my MicroSD card and see if I can see some success with the entire Link2SD method.
Use KingRoot, then replace with supersu: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html
I unlocked my 410hn bootloader so I root directly from supersu flashable zip from twrp.
Today I noticed something interesting, do you use gmail app? I don't mean the google email account, I mean the app. If yes, take a look into your account settings configured in the app, it's set to sync all e-mails and attachments from the last 30 days, for this reason gmail was eating over 1GB of my internal memory, I configured to NOT sync anything (it's like saving stuff for offline read) and NOT download/load images automatically.
I went from 400MB of free space to almost 3GB. Had to clear app data first to make a clean start in the app and quick turn off those settings or it's going to download all over again, do you ever wonder why in the first run gmail takes a lot of time to sync? That's the reason, it's downloading your stuff from the last 30 days from every email account.
Yes I too have noticed that but when I try to open my gmail Google Play services force closes any idea on a solution to the problem

What i have done???
First i used Kitchen ( download and extract to desktop ) to edit my boot.img!
With kitchen i unpack boot.img and searched for fstab.hi6210sft file, with notepad++ i edited that file by adding this line:
Note: Check all the line until the end of tab!
Code:
/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data/app ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc,discard wait
Then i rename the boot.img to old_boot.img and repacked in to a new one and rename it to boot.img! Get it???
Now what need more????
Bootloader must be unlocked!
Need TWRP!
Your SD Card must be a cat10 and must have 32GB or more of storage.
Use Default Huawei Backup app to backup your phone.
Do backup from your SD Card in to PC, very important!!!!
Boot in to TWRP
Go to TWRP, Advanced, Partition SD Card
Select Micro SDCard
In EXT Size add 10240 (10GB - I think is enough but you can choose your own size)
In File System select ext4
Swipe to Partition ( This will erase SD Card in process!!!!!!! )
Copy boot.img to SD Card
Go to install, select SD Card, select image, select boot.img, select boot and install it
Go to main menu
Do Factory Reset
Boot the phone!
Now you can restore all to your SD Card!
How to check if is ok after boot?
Go to Google Play storage and install Storage Space, or any other app that show you you mounted partitions, in Storage Space go to settings, all partitions, slide down to the end and you must have somthing like the picture bellow! ( in picture i was on test mode and only have a 4GB partiton that show to be litle)
Check the images to get a ideia how it works.
I think is all!
Enjoy it!
Well, you can do the same without modifying ramdisk using adoptable storage

Yeah, I thought the same. But what I'm thinking now, does it work better than the adoptable storage? Since it sucks and doesn't really work. If his method works better, it sounds like a good option.

Hi!
I found that while using an SD Card as adopted internal storage, it is mandate that the speed of the card is very high. High speed SD cards such as UHS-1 type card is recommended for Adopted Internal Storage where as Class 2, Class 4 types are not recommended for adopted internal storage as the performance of latter is approximately 10 times slower than the former, and might cause performance issues.
So my mod does not have this issue because only apps go to Sd Card and only be a read action, the data from apps a dalvik-cache still in phone memory and most part of read writing is there.
But if you want to try ( i don´t teste it...) i found this to get Sd Card adopted:
Search on Google said:
Step 1: Be sure you are using a High Perfomance Sd Card or you will loose performance on you phone.
Example:
Backup all from your Sd Card and format it to start from zero.
Step 2: Now you have to decide how do you to split the the SDcard. You can choose either to use 100% of the SD card to the internal storage or you can split between internal storage and SDcard. The splitting option is recommend if you need to put your card and a PC. But we would recommend using the whole card.
Step 3: Connect your phone to your PC using an original USB cable and make sure ADB driver are installed properly. You will need to enable USB Debugging on your device as well.
Step4: On your computer open a command window/ terminal and type this code: “adb shell”.
Step 5: Type “sm list-disks” to open a list with the available disks for adoption. Once you do that it will look something like the image example below.
Code:
1|[email protected]:/ § sm list-disks
disk:179:160
Note: disk info can be diferent in your device
Step 6: You have to partition the disk now. For this you need to use the “sm partition DISK TYPE RATIO” command. To understand you better let’s take an example. To partition the disk above as fully adopted storage (aka private)we should use this command:
Code:
sm partition disk: 179:160 private
If you wanna split if 50:50 you should use this command:
Code:
sm partition disk: 179:160 mixed 50
You see, it’s not difficult!
Step 7: This process may take a while and once it’s done go to Settings > Additional Settings > Storage and you will see the new internal storage. Sometimes the total space is not showed but do not worry, it works fine.

I use this one...

Very easy to use and you can also do partitions on your sd.
Happy new year!

Can someone help, please? I got stuck at the beginning with this tutorial. I need free space on my PRA-LX1 and decided to follow this tutorial. I got a real ice SD card and I unlocked it but I failed to extract the boot.img from my phone. Can someone lease share the exact steps for the procedure of extracting the BOOT.IMG?
I installed the AIK Kitchen tool on my phone but it said there is no available IMG to work with. Then I downloaded the supposed stock ROM for my phone to use with Kitchen for Windows but I got some CRC error while extracting the UPDATE.APP and even when I override it it doesn't show there is BOOT.img inside. So I didn't even got to use Kitchen because I can't find this damn boot.img. Phone is with stock rom 8.0.0.375 C432.
