Hello, I am developing an application and I wonder if it is possible to access the internal storage of other applications, know that it is possible to access the internal storage of standard applications such as photos, documents, etc.
But I wonder if it is possible to access the internal storage of all applications, not just the standards. If possible, how I do it?
Sorry for my bad English, I am Brazilian .

I never know where to store my applications. Do I store to the internal storage or the Device? Does it depends on the type of application?
Thanks,
Jon
read the readme file first. I thought I would use the internal storage, installed a program now the damned thing wont uninstall. went to the main web page and read there that it should have been device...
Hmm, I tend to install everything to the storage... But then, I only install stuff I want to keep.

Its this program that will not remove itself just so that others can aware of it...
I would advise to install application like system tweaks (ie, Mobile shells, anything that modifies the OS to the main storage and any other application like games, word, etc to the internall storage.

i second that! that's the smart way to do it!
May I ask why you suggest mobile shells etc to the main storage? Is that because it is a little faster than on the Internal Storage?
Is there much of a performance impact withe regards to install applications on the internal storage instead of on "\"
No!
If there is, it's minimal. I install all my third-party apps to Internal Storage, and they certainly don't take any longer to open, or are they slower running than any of the apps in ROM.
Yes there's a performance difference. If you install them on the ROM you'll find them running slower! Why? Well the ROM is your memory. If you installed a lot of large apps there then you'll have no memory! Then things will really get slow.
Note, however, if you install them on \Internal Storage but then connect your phone to the PC for a data connection (i.e. not an ActiveSync connection but the one where you get \Internal Storage mounted as a drive letter) you will not be able to run anything on \Internal Storage. In fact, you won't be able to see \Internal Storage since it's mounted as a drive to your PC. Worse yet, any applications you were running from \Internal Storage will freeze and will not be killable, necessitating a reboot.
Hello everyone, I'm using SGS I9000, with Darky's V10.1 ROM. I recently discovered that my memory space have become extremely low, System Storage has only 1.53GB Storage available space. However, there is a category called USB Storage, where a total space of 13.43GB, with 11.53GB available. I have no external SD card inserted.
So i go to memory usage area, and i try to shift some apps to the "usb storage", apps like angry birds, adobe reader etc, but it gives me this error message "Failed to move application. Not enough memory."
Anyone know what's wrong with my phone?

you have 2 SD in your SGS, one internal and one external
The problem is, i don't have 2 SD in my SGS right now. There's only the internal one, and there is no external sd card inserted in my phone. How can it be possible that my internal memory space has only 1.53GB space left when i don't have much stuffs installed at all?
i9000 has 3 different storages Eg : 16GB
2GB - Phone Storage (ROM)
14GB - Internal SD (Internal Storage)
XGB - External SD (renamed to USB Storage)
Normally the applications are installed in Phone Storage. Don't know why cannot move to "Internal Storage". Only can move to "USB Storage".
Thanks for the clarification, does that mean the internal SD is totally useless? Or just for you to store music/pictures ETC?
I have the same problem: my phone has the orange sd card on the slide down menu which say "internal memory full"
I have no apps other then a timer, a virusscanner and whatsapp and then all the apps that come with the phone. All the files I have on the phone I have stored on the external SD.
I deleted all my sms messages, whatsapp chats and I even uninstalled whatsapp to make sure that it's not that, but it still says my internal memory is full.
When I look at the apps, Thinkfree is the biggest program on it with 9mb, followed by Adobe Reader with 8mb.
What can be done? I have this phone for not even 6 months now and I'm ready to brick the phone but by this I mean: throw a f*cking brick on it!
I was having issues with my phone and accidentally deleted some system apps so I restored my phone using the fastboot files and cleared my internal SD card storage. Upon reboot (with no apps installed), there is only 2.88GB of application storage available.
If I remember correctly, 8GB is allocated to the internal SD card. Does that mean 8GB goes to application storage? If so, where is my other 5GB?
2.88 for Apps, 8 for internal, and the rest(no more than like 4 gig) for the OS if IIRC.
The OS takes up that much space?
Your internal storage is divided up in to three separate sections...
Apps (your app storage), Media Storage (this is actually like extended app storage or Apps2SD) and SDcard. Not sure the split but I think 8 for apps and media storage (split there however) and the other 8 for /sdcard.
An external SDCARD added would be /sdcard-ext
OS space is never listed as part of a phone's available storage so the 16 GB is has is dedicated to Apps/Media Storage/SDcard

So under storage it lists:
Total Phone Storage
Total Space 16.00GB
Application Storage
Available Space 2.73GB
Internal Media Storage
Available Space 8.00GB
Windows Media Sync
Windows Media Sync Storage Internal Storage (8.00GB/8.00GB)
The phone is stock with no updates/market apps. No pics, music, etc (Was backed up and formatted). I should still see 5.27GB somewhere right?
This summed it up pretty well for me. I think I answered my own question. This is exactly what my phone shows.

Awesome, thank you. I don't know why Motorola does that. They should advertise the amount of space that I can use, not how much is in the phone.
They inflate the phone's storage capacity to fool you into buying it, thinking you're really getting that much. It's an old trick.

Repartition the phone and flash with custom OS and you can use all that space, right?
Yea, that's probably why Moto Mobility is going down under.
I think a custom OS takes up space from your media partition.
I tried hardly to set the external SD card as Whatsapp default memory for images, video on the Redmi Note 10Pro... With no success.
Tried from within the app and from the phone, no way. WhatsApp stuff will slowly eat the memory for no reason. I managed to set it as a default for the camera, but not for WhatsApp.
Anybody has a way or a workaround? Hints are highly appreciated.

Not allowed by WhatsApp when SD used as removable storage - I guess it's something to do with security ?
If you are rooted you can mount the internal Whatsapp folder to your sdcard. That way all data which is supposed to go into that folder on the internal storage is saved on the sdcard instead. But you would need to format it as f2fs, or ext2/3/4 for that to work. If you do that it will only be readable under linux. It wont work on Windows, or inside digital cameras, recorders, etc.

WhatsApp has implemented scoped storage https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage#scoped-storage, means you won't be able to store app data outside their own boundaries unless you use the sd card as adoptable storage https://source.android.com/devices/storage/adoptable
It's understandable why most flagship doesn't have any microsd anymore. To put it simply, it wasn't easy just to put apps data into a removable storage anymore, as we perceive removeable storage as, well, removable, while it's not anymore - it's part of your phone, to extend your phone internal storage. Losing it, accidentally breaking it, can cause data lost for some apps. For the sake of convenience, easier to use, and manufacture's benefits, it's more preferred to remove the microsd altogether instead.
i have root
is there no a module or app? there was app called "folder mount" it was working but android 12 not working more
