Dear All,
I am using Samsung note my internal memory is full. Recently I have purchased 32 GB SD Card and I have transferred by music, videos and pics to SD card.
I want to know is there is any option by which application automatically gets installed in SD card?
Please Help.
i have the same question, pls help
manually via the free app2sd on play, I dont know of one that does it automatically, it would be nice if there was one.
John.
Hello
I don't think so there a trick available for the same.
But there are apps available in the play store, using them you can move your any installed apps in to SD card...

You can change the SD card to be internal memory by doing the following system settings > storage > storage configuration > use internal storage. Works fine for me.
no such settings in ICS here

Hell Yeah. You can move between tablet and phone mode or a hybrid of the two as well as per app density changes. i use this with the Thor V11 kerenl and its about 40% quicker than stock ICS and so many new features. You won't regret the move.
sad that I cant see any paranoidandroid rom 0.2 video on youtube.
BTW Thor V11 kerenl - what it exactly does?

There are loads of v0.1 examples on there, even the official thread has some however v0.2 has a lot more features and is smoother. If I have time I will make one tonight after work and upload for you. No guarantees though.
The kernel acts as a mediator for your programs and your hardware. First, it does (or arranges for) the memory management for all of the running programs (processes), and makes sure that they all get a fair (or unfair, if you please) share of the processor's cycles. In addition, it provides a nice, fairly portable interface for programs to talk to your hardware.
There is certainly more to the kernel's operation than this, but these basic functions are the most important to know. Obviously each kernel does things in different ways however I found Thor V11 with undervolting and overclocking to be by far the best.

OP-Do you research before doing anything dangerous. Since this threat is for Desire HD and not Galaxy Note. Be very careful.
If you have that 32GB micro-SD, you can use it as your phone's internal SD card with an easy vold.fstab swap. Your reduced capacity internal storage would then become your "external" SD card. This link should help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377628

I don't have that option on my vitality/admire phone. Is ther another way?
as the title said. i want to enable write to sdcard,and the camera photos too.
i've seen that even after sdcard inserted and install apps,it's not saving files in sdcard (like game's data in /android/data folder)
also that whatsapp folder still on internal,and so the camera's DCIM folder.
in Indonesian's Forum, someone said to enable that, we need to flash lollipop that 4gb version over our's 8gb version. That way, all the games with big data automatocally saved in sdcard , just like my kitkat and JB old phone.
i am asking, is there any other way to enable that without flashing the 4gb version of lollipop?

Search for "foldermount" app... I will not explain here because I want you to do your own research
But basically it is the solution to the problem you have. Although I advise you to use the 4gb rom that natively supports SD cards and stores everything on SD cards
Hi All,
I have an LG L90 Device with a full Internal Memory. It has gotten to a point where I have to delete majority of my apps to get all my things syncing, but this is really becoming annoying to deal with now.
I do have a lot of apps (I guess 35+), but I never had an issue with Internal Memory becoming full in the past. I also have a 32 GB SD Card where I am saving all photos, videos, and music (though, I rely solely on Spotify now).
I had tried the Link2SD Method, but it isn't as effective for me, as the linked apps somehow stop responding and they just disappear on my phone, prompting me to reinstall.
I really want to fix this, as I love this phone, but just hate the fact that Lollipop will not let me automatically install all apps to the SD Card, and my Internal Memory is just full, restricting me from doing many things I would like to do with the phone.
I would love help here to fix these issues.
Hmm, Bump? Would love any possible help on fixing this issue...
Another thing I also wanted to bring up is that when I do link apps to my external SD card via LINK2SD those apps somehow become unlinked, I assume when the app updates they automatically go back to the internal memory? Not entirely sure...
me too
I think a lot of people have this issue with a "system data" checked on config =>storage, i just have install another time my lollipop 5.0.2, and right after install i checked and this system data was about 4,21 GB, i would be very happy if someone knows a way to delete, or give a way to make this ocupy less room.already did wipe cache, and nothing changed. Maybe flash a tiny rom that have all functions working on the phone, just to mention, already tried some, but always have to do an emergency flash with stock rom again. As my brother above, we waiting for some advice and tutorials !
Cheers all !
a program for Android like CCleaner would be great
would clean crap and uninstall unused APP residue

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I have tried identical apps such as Clean Master, and it just cleans up small megabits of junk files, I am trying to find a way to at least free up a gigabyte of storage which for some complex reason seems like a really daunting task...
What have you done recently and when did you notice internal storage is full? Also what rom?
For me when I installed a custom rom for the first time, I believe that I had something extra in /cache/backup/ that caused the full storage. I believe it was a twrp backup.
hi all..anyone has the same problem??? i'm so angry, this phone is always full!!! and link2sd doesn't work
Link2SD works if you follow the instructions and have a partition on external SD formatted as ext4 (fat32 won't work to move apps). Or go to Marshmallow and use adopted storage. In any case make sure you got a reliable SD and at least Class10 speed.

WOW.. is there a guide? thanks
Simply insert the uSD and go to Storage and USB, tap the 3 dots menu and format it to use as internal storage. It will format the card and move all data from /sdcard to it and movable apps to it if you choose to. You won't access internal memory anymore.
Make sure you use a fast and reliable card. Also check the pros and cons first.

only a question: why You won't access internal memory anymore. ?
by file manager with root it will be impossibile to view internal memory? only sdcard ll be accessible?
Internal memory will be used to apps and apps data only, no user accessible files or folders. Of course you can use a file manager with root access to browse the files/folders, but all user files will be on uSD (it will become /sdcard).
PS: as I said, Marshmallow will format your uSD, so copy any file you may need first.
Oook thanks
all it works!!! now my girlfriend's phone has enough memory!!!! great thanks a lot!
Which ROM would you recommend for Honor 4X - Che2-L11 ( cherryplus, Kirin 620)? I need to fix my girlfriend's phone
She needs stable ROM with working radio (so Nougat from here won't work), headphones, good battery life and enough internal storage (or possibility to move apps to SD or use adoptable storage with microSD) for apps.
Android 4.4.2 was relatively fine, but it is old. Then we upgraded to stock 6.0 (B570), however she had problems with lack of internal storage - it was not possible to move apps to SD card (4.4.2 was better in that) and adoptable storage didn't work properly (apps are crashing, reporting not enough space, new apps can't be installed etc). Then we tried RROS on Nougat from ksrt12, where adoptable storage seems to work fine, but radio and headphones don't work and there is quite high battery drain (15% per night with data disabled).
Which ROM would you recommend?

If you are OK with Android 6, you can try Modaco. This was the rom I used before I switched to RROS recently.
You should get a Class 10 SD card (32 Gb if possible). Install Apps2SD from play store and partition the card. First partition FAT32, second partition Ext4, then you move apps to SD card's second partition. (If you wish, you can create three partitions, and use one of them as 'adoptable storage'. I did that.) Modaco rom has a lot of free space on the system partition, so you can move many apps there, which also saves space. But apps that have been moved to system partition will be moved back to internal storage when they are updated.
I had so much free space that I never came close to filling up the storage. But I think regular XDA users would get kinda bored using this rom, as it is basically EMUI with a little bit stock feel.
The only things not working were the default clock and the compass. Clock you can just install another clock app from play store. Compass. .. I never found how to fix. Detecting headphones works and all the other hardware things, as this is basically a modified EMUI 4. I should also add that I don't know if you can flash this from RROS, as that would be "downgrading" from Android 7 to Android 6.

Thank you for the advice. I see Modaco has 2 ROMs - EMUI style and Stock style beta. Which one did you use?
With use of Apps2SD, does it move all apps to Ext4 partition on the card, or just selected ones? Or is it basically just remapping internal storage to Ext4 partition on the card?
If I have just 16 GB card for this phone, how do you suggest to repartition it?
If there is so much free space on the system partition, isn't it possible to decrease size of system partition somehow and enlarge internal storage instead?

It must have been the Stock style beta. I didn't know there was another version.

Apps2SD moves the files of apps to the SD card and creates symbolic links, so the system "thinks" the apps are still on the internal storage. In Apps2SD this process is called to link apps. Just so you know the terminology. It is very configurable, so you can choose which apps to move/link to the SD card.
What you describe, to repartition /system, sounds like a good idea, but I don't know enough about Android to say if it is possible. You would probably need some recovery program that can repartition the internal storage. Can TWRP do that? I don't know. This is above my league, sorry.
UPDATE: I found this guide for how to repartition the internal storage. But I haven't tried it.
I installed that MoDaCo EMUI style ROM, partitioned my SD card and made Apps2SD working. So far it looks fine.
However, does it still make sense to use MoDaCo EMUI ROM, which is based on B506 firmware, when there is B580 stock available? Yes MoDaCo has more internal memory free (3.28 GB vs 2.50 GB), but it has security patches only from March 2016, while B580 has July 2017 and who knows how good tweaks Huawei added since B506...

I have two Che2-L11 phones, and one of them was running B580 until a few weeks ago. The few small improvements Huawei added are not even worth the upgrade. However, if security concerns you, I would give RROS another try. About your headphones problem, I don't see why it should not work. It works on my phone. (Note three-conductor is detected and switched on, but not four-conductor.)

I also don't know why headphones without microphone didn't work with RROS for us, but it can be also related to parts of firmware that are not flashed together with RROS and they remain from previous full firmware (like modem firmware, hifi.img, dsp.img etc). Also before we flashed RROS, we had Marshmallow B570 showing Balong firmware (in the past, we upgraded from 4.4.2 to B570, but it seems she had Malaysian region set in the phone for some reason - I fixed it now) in the phone.
Unfortunatelly my girlfriend (she has this phone) wants to have headphones and radio fully working (RROS doesn't have radio as far as I know), so it seems as no go for RROS...

Hello I'm using a Huawei GR3 2017 (PRA-LX2 running emui 5.0.1) and I was wondering if this device has been restricted to move apps to sd card?
At first I thought that switching the default location in the Settings from Internal to SD card would make the move to SD card possible in apps, or at least put my apps I would download to the card.
However, I guess it just means that it would just put my shot photos, videos, screenshots etc. and downloaded files to the card, but not apps themselves. Factoey reset then downloading my applications again didn't work.
Is the only way to move them is to have my phone rooted then? What led me first to assume that I can move apps to sd is the option "force allow apps on external storage" in the developer options (which I can't seem to turn on no matter what)
Has Huawei restricted moving apps to sd card for this device?
Thanks for your time! (and i hope i am in the right forum)
Since Android 6 Google disabled that option. So you need root or you can format SD card as internal storage

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately there really is no option to format my sd card as internal; not sure if this is an emui thing or what, since I see people using stock android 6 and above with that option available in their devices.
So my only option is to root then? Or is there a chance that they would enable it again on emui 8.0? I've searched a bit and found out (in many sites) that gr3 2017 is on the list to receive the update.

Did some research and found a turorial for my device to make my sd card part of the internal (i guess?) using adb. With this method and no root in the process, i shouldn't be worried of having my warranty voided, issues on OTA updates, etc. then? Just making sure

UPDATE:
Yes, it was a success
By doing it via usb (debugging mode) and using adb to enable adoptable storage. A detailed procedure can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...3-p8-lite2017-enable-adoptable-t3689850/page1 (credits to the op!)
At the part where I had to unmount and mount the sd card, I tried inputting the code to do it, but it seemed that adb couldn't recognize it so I just went to my settings in the phone, ejected the sd card and mounted it again. So far I didn't screw things up tho. The free space was 11+ gb after I was finished with the process. Before it was only 400 plus mb :cyclops:
After 3 days since, I've experienced nothing wrong; no bugs, glitches, slowdowns etc. All I haven't tested are the OTA updates, but I guess it's still working cuz I can still search for the updates (I already have emui 5.0.1)
But keep in mind that ONLY use fast micro sd's, I am using a Sandisk Ultra with an A1 rating, which I think is made for running applications (from the"A" bit) so I would recommend that at the very least (I bought the 16gb one)
Thanks all for the help! I included a screenshot of the settings' readings on my phone's storage, but I think this is only natural from force adopting storage (hope so) and a screenshot of my file manager readings on it.
yeah this messes up the storage settings.
It's also not a perfect solution - some apps will install to the "adopted" SD card, but many still insist on installing on the internal memory, so it doesn't buy you a lot of extra space. Fundamentally 16GB is not enough for a modern Android phone - I won't buy another with less than 32GB.
