What is ExSd? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I notice that anything I download goes to that folder. What is that? Is that on the sd card or internal memory?

You said ExSD. ExtSD is the external memory card; you can change your download location for the stock browser in settings, and the camera app will automatically detect a memory card and ask you.

Can't see sd card In root explorer

I am rooted stock right now and I remember with my sgs2 on sprint when I event into root explorer (the app) I would click sd card(which would be internal storage) then inside sd card would be ext sd and that would be my sd card. I can't get into my sd card in root explorer only my internal sd. Anyone else have this issue?

[Q] SD Card

Hello. I've been having a problem with my SGS2 i777. (СM 10.1 NIGHTLY 2013/02/07)
My phone mount external SD Card (32gb), but does not use a memory card. I can't unmount SD Card, because unmount button is not active (See screenshot), and I can't move programs to the SD Card using the app2sd. (Sorry for my english, I have a basic level.)
Please help.
You might try formatting the SD card in your PC. I had a similar problem back when I first rooted my phone and that worked for me.

Internal SD Card or External? If external, yes.

You are having problem with external, right? Yea, external. Can you mount it afterward?

Yes, I can mount.
Then you should be able to use it properly with move to SD option in the Applications Setting. If that is what you are trying to do.

I'm trying move apps to SD, but it doesn't work. Memory is not simply used. On the memory card created in the folder LOST.DIR.
But my internal SD Card filled, if I move app to SD.

Are you trying to use that Apps2SD? I don't recommend it. Just go to Setting >> Applications and move the apps from there.

Internal SD card Memory already full. When I install the application, says there is not enough memory.

No, filled internal SD card for 16gb. On my phone 16gb internal memory, and external sd card 32gb and the sd card is not filled.

So if I move, it will be filled again. Not music, pictures, videos, etc., fill applications. Again there will be the problem.

[Q]Moving apps to SD?

Is there a way to move apps to SD to free some internal memory? I'm currently running CM10.1

try foldermount.
Of course some of those applications should be movable to sd anyways. I wouldn't move anything that you use often. I wouldn't move anything that needs to be active most of the time, i.e. widgets.
My understanding---and someone correct me if I'm wrong---is no. The way the S4 mounts the SD card means that it's not recognized as external. I believe even the stock update doesn't really move apps, or at least appdata, to the SD card.
Now, I await someone to tell me that I'm wrong, or at least that I'm right for the wrong reasons.

The SD card is recognized as external and is treated as such. What you're thinking of is the internal partition labeled SD card, which is emulated. The external card is its own entity in the file system and is denoted as external.
As for the OP, a third party app is the best and only way to move apps AND their data to your external SD card.

Just want to clarify that foldermount is a solution for those apps you can't move into the SD card with apps2sd or some program like that.

[Q] How can I move my apps to sd card

I'm trying to find out what I have to do so that I can move apps from internal SD card to my external SD card. On my old phone it was an option available when you click on an app in setting I could move app to SD card so I could free up space on my internal SD card memory and be able to install more apps. As it is now I have to

What kdz do you have? If you have a p769 20f kdz or (lgms769 10b) You can enable it by adding
Code:
ro.lge.capp_move_sdcard=true
to the build.prop (/system/build.prop)
Please make a cwm or twrp backup before messing with the build.prop

I there a format SD card to internal storage on MIpad4?

Hi guys! I'm thinking about getting a Mipad4, just wonder if I can also get a SD card & format it to internal storage? thx!
Were you able to do this?
Just bumping this up, is it possible to use sd card as internal storage? Or adoptable storage please?
Yes it is. I am using a 200gb card in my Mipad 4 as internal memory.

Yes most of the apps but not all. Some modules in EdXposed will not work so you have to move them to the real internal memory.
How did you set this up? Is there a particular ROM or was this installed later? Did you use a tool to set the partition? Perhaps a link to docs and downloads would help if you have them.
