hi!
i have a problem with insufficient internal storage. i use a 64GB micro sd-xc card and have until recently used it as portable storage. but the phone's internal storage was not enough for all my apps and their data so i decided to format the sd as internal, which should allow you to move your apps there.
but as i discovered, only very few third party apps can be moved to sd, stuff like play music, drive, sheets, slides, etc. can not be moved. this puts me in an awful position because i use drive and play music a lot, and every kB of stuff i want to keep available offline gets stored in the small internal storage, so in the end i have no space left on the phone, and an almost empty useless sd.
using it as portable doesn't allow any apps to be migrated to the sd either, so i'm stuck with only 4GB of space. apps like link2sd and apps2sd don't work with marshmallow.
does anyone know how to move google apps or app data to the sd on marshmallow?? i don't want to go back to lollipop due to this...
OR, has anyone found out how i could partition the sd card in a way that a part would be formatted as internal and part as external storage? (all my attempts ended with the phone formatting the whole sd as internal)

Hi @bombaglad
I use Cyanogenmod 13 too. You have mentioned apps2sd do not work, but I use it and it works fine for me. Try to give it another go, and make sure you correctly partition your sd-card.

wow! thanks for your reply. i have played around with it a lot and i couldn't get it working, i also found other forums with people who had problems with this.. so please, could you explain to me the steps you took to get it working? like, what format was the sd card first, which app you used to partition it and what format was the partition? that would really help me out

I use MiniTool Partition Wizard to partition my sd-card. I connect it to a converter for usb and then connect it to my computer. In the partition wizard, I partition most of it to primary FAT32. Then the rest I partition to ext4, also primary. You decide on how much to allocate to each partition. I find using about 6 GB for the second partition will be the most I ever need.
After the sd-card is partitioned, I insert it back to my phone. When cm13 asks you to decide what to do with the sd cards, tell it the first partition is external, but don't do anything for the second one.
Then download apps2sd. go to settings and set "mmcblk1p2" for "Use custom dev block". Also check "Use public vold". Those are my settings. Then you can try and go to the "Link apps to sd card" section and continue from there. I really hope for you this works!
If id doesn't you can try to do the whole process but this time also tell Cyanogenmod the second partition is external.....
Let me know!

i'll admit, that a few minutes before reading this answer, i simply used apps2sd's partition tool, and with fat32 and ext3 i am now able to use the linking function thank you very much for your assistance, it's people like you thanks to whom the xda community is as awesome as it is <3
I'm always glad to help!
By the way, if after a reboot your phone tells you your sd-card is corrupt, just ignore the notification..
Doesn't work for me
Hi,
I've similar problems.
My configuration: LG G3 (D855) with CM13 (build: 20160528), SuperSU 2.74, xposed framework
In CM13 I'm not able to move apps to the external SD (there is no such option).
So I tried it with APPS2SD. :
- I'm able to create two partitions and to mount the second one.
- My Problem: I always get the following error message when trying to move an app: ...apk Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]
Already tried:
- different File Systems for second partition (ext2, ext3, ext4, f2fs)
- with or without swap partition
- Also your mentioned options:
-- use of the MiniTool Partition Wizard with a primary FAT32 and a second primary ext4 partition
-- set "mmcblk1p2" for "Use custom dev block"
-- check "Use public vold"
Nothing helped so far. Still the same error.
By the way, I can see my second partition in the (rooted) Total Commander App (also in Android Settings, but there it is marked as damaged). And CM13 never asked me what to do with the second partition (only that it is damaged).
Any further ideas? Thanks in advance
Best regards
Formating SD card
What about formating the SD card as internal storage?
I haven't done it myself because I have a class 4 sd card and I'm afraid it's going to be slow but it seems like a good idea
Solution: Linking instead of moving
I could solve my problem
Instead of moving apps I linked them => works excellent!
Best regards

Im liking to use the new function of marshmallow, but i cant move hangouts to new partition.
Does someone know another way to move dont using apps2sd?

Dear Masters,
Need your help again.
I am using the application LINK2SD for transferring my applications to SD card. But what I see is, there is some memory still used from the phone memory even after moving that application.
So, I want to know what can be the reason for that and is there any way to move that data part to SD card?
Please do guide because as per me this is not making any sense in rooting the device as still my phone memory gets low.
Hope that solution gets resolved as always.

Sadly Link2SD cannot link app data, and so internal memory will still be taken up by this. The only way around it is to install JaggyRom (or else install a custom kernel with ext2/3/4 support and a data2SD script, but JaggyRom would be simpler I think) and use it's app2SD functionality instead of Link2SD.
There are various ways to move app data to SD, but they all seem to require the second partition on your SD card to be an ext partition, rather than a FAT partition, and ext partitions are not supported by the stock kernel. I have yet to come across any app or script which will move app data to a FAT formatted 2nd SD card partition.
Thanks
SifJar,
Thanks for your reply, I have already got JaggyRom in my HTC explorer and also downloaded APP2SD from play store, will this suffice? Or I need to add any Kernel or anything like that?
And what about the partitioning of SD card? can you put some light on that as I am a newbie to Android.
Thanks once again.
Chin2.
If you have JaggyRom, you don't need any app from Play Store. It comes with A2SDGUI preinstalled and has an apps2SD script already configured. All you need to do is create a second partition on your SD card. You need to connect your SD card to a computer (via a card reader, NOT your phone), get a partition manager (e.g. MiniTool Partition Wizard) and shrink your current FAT32 partition. Then make a new partition (not sure which is the best format, I think ext4, but ext2 and ext3 should work too) and make sure you also make this partition primary. (So both partitions will be primary). You'll want to make this partition reasonably large. Mine is about 700MB and I use about 500MB roughly with about 85 apps installed.
Once this is done, put it in your phone and start it. Then use A2SDGUI to move apps to SD card (don't move system apps, I don't think it will allow you to anyway), and I think it should automatically move any new apps you install in the future.

It is normal to have some kilobytes left there.I have a sensation and it always leaves some data on the phone and it isn't a lot.
The stock kernal can support ext2 partition so even without jaggyrom u can do it.

Are you sure? I have never seen that anywhere else, everywhere else says stock kernel only supports FAT32.
Low internal memory
I had Recently installed Jaggyrom for my explorer but having application problems.I had Already Created ext2 partion and Fat32 both are primary.I have also Enabled app2sd on sd card but application still consumes my Internal memory.Please Help me out !
Hahahaha ! If you are clever enough so try modifying apk of sims freeplay for explorer !

Have you made ext-2 partition on your sd card ?
I have been using Link2SD to move apps to the external microSD card. But not many apps and I still hit the internal memory limit. Then I discovered that Link2SD can effectively increase the internal memory if I created a second partition on my microSD card and let the Link2SD use that partition as a virtual extension of internal memory. So I created two partitions on my microSD card.
The problem is that my phone (rooted, 4.4.2 stock ROM) refuses to recognize this arrangement and complains that the SD card is damaged. When I let the phone's default app format the first partition, it removes the second one and formats the whole card as partition.
Anyone has a solution or suggestion for me? Thanks,

Could you please explain with a bit more detail? I have checked the Play Store, there are several apps called "sdcard fix" or similar, but they all say they solve the microSD write problem with KitKat. My problem is that when I create the 2nd partition on my SD card, the phone does not even recognize the first partition. Link2SD recognizes the 2nd partition, but it does not recognize the first partition either.
I have checked foldermount, and it seems to do the same thing as Link2SD but it looks like a lot of manual work, identifying folders and creating symbolic links on the SD card.

No folder Mount does it automatically it moves file to SD card and tricks the system. Its fairly simple.
Use app analyzer and click yes to everything. Seems to me you're putting too much thought into this.
1st partition must be fat32 and 2nd partition ext2, both partitions set as primary.
But as sugested, download a sdcardfix from playstore (makes external writeable again), download foldermount paid version, a lot easier.
Thank you for looking onto this post!
Is Apps2sd/Link2sd still working with MM? I tried to use Apps2sd to create mount scripts since it's not working for Link2sd. It worked and I can link app datas and files into the Sd card. However, since I partitioned the SD card with one Fat 32 for storage and one ext2/ext4 (tried both), only the ext partitions work and the primary partition Fat32 can't be read by the phone. Leaving me with only a 2nd partition for linking and a corrupt primary partition/sd card as MM reads it. Is there a way around here since my phone is nearly full on internal. TY in advance!

What you would want to do is reformat your SD card so it's all one partition and enable Adoptive Storage.
This app should help with that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superthomaslab.rootessentials&hl=en
Keep in mind, Adoptive Storage will encrypt your card so it will only usable by that phone unless you reformat it again, but it's a way cleaner and better set up option that the hacked way Link2SD works. No offense to the app as it is very useful in many situations, but Adoptive Storage is a feature made by Google and is built into Android 6+ but for some phones has to be enabled via ADB commands or an app (that just automates the process for you). AS makes it so your phone sees your SD card as the internal storage and works just like it. You should have a fast SD card for this to work best. Like SDXC type. Don't use a regular class 4 SD card.

Hello! Thanks for the reply and I guess I have no choice. I did adoptive storage and the app you gave worked well! But my adopted storage and SD card has the same name and confuses me at times. Is there a way to rename it? Also, how can I move apps from my internal to adopted? And is there a way to automatically install apps on adopted? Thank you!
My understanding is that once you have the adoptive storage set correctly then the phone should register that as part of the regular phone's storage.
hello,
currently I am reinstalling my now around one year old honor 5x.
Since I bought it, it was on b130 and could not update because of a custom TWRP recovery and root access.
So now I sat down, installed a stock b140, updated to b330 (android 6) and then installed CyanogenMod (Nightly). Many problems occurred on the way but until now I found all my questions answered in old threads.
Now the system runs smoothly and I can start configuring it. This includes Link2sd in order to be able to force move large apps to my sd card and linking them to the system. But this time I have quite a lot problems with this.
I started by doing the exact same thing like last time:
shut down the phone, take SD Card out of the phone and plug into computer
create around 80% primary partition fat32 and 19% primary partition ext4 (also tested ext2) (the 1% is unused space)
Then plug the sd card back in and start the phone
ES Datei Explorer now shows three "spaces": the internal space, the large fat32 sd partition and the small ext4 sd partition (all three can be written and read on)
Now start Link2SD. It recognices the second partition and askes what filesystem there is. I choose "ext4" and press OK
Here is my main problem: The app gives me an error:
Code:
[B]Error in mount script[/B]
Could not create mount script.
mount: '/dev/block/vold/public:179_66'->'/data/sdext2': Invalid argument
So the mount script could not be created and in the threads on xda there are some possible "solutions":
trying different filesystems: ext2, ext3, ext4 -> I tried all of them
clearing dalvik-cache -> I also tried that
formatting the sd card inside the phone with a app called "AParted" -> no help at all
Make Link2sd to a system app -> I did this by moving the folder from Link2sd from /app/data/ to /app/system/ (I hope this is enouph to be a system app, but Link2sd is starting normal after a reboot and is also not listed anymore under "user apps", instead now I can find it unter "system apps" ... so I think this worked fine)
...
The interesting part now is, that I can go in my system settings of android -> Spaceusage (don't know how it is exactly called in english) -> and then unmount only the ext4 partition of the sd card (the fat32 is still mounted).
After I do that, Link2SD can create the mount script !!!
The dialog after creating the mount script says, that I have to reboot the system in order to finish the process. But when I do so, after the reboot the "normal" mount of the system is there again and Link2sd is asking for the filesystem again. So no "special" mount for linking possible.
So now my question:
How can I fix this issue? Can I
force android to stop mounting the ext4 on booting and let Link2sd's script do the mounting?
do I have to set special permissions to the created mounting script?
Is there a other way to make Link2sd work properly? Do I missed something? (last time it worked this way, but maybe something changed due the time?)
is Link2sd maybe incompatible with android 6.0?
Thanks for any help and any suggestion.

OH MY GOD .. That long to read ,
Install Cm Nightly Last Version with Recovery .
Format Ur SD Card throw ur laptop \PC
When u boot to New CM go Settings > Storage > Format SD Card after that u will be asked to use it as internal or external , use it as internal so it will be added to ur internal 10GB without using app2sd any more =) ..
*Recommendation : use Class 10 SD card only otherwise ur phone will become slow ! .
GD luck ! =)
thanks very much. At first, this did not work. But after reinstalling CM I could use your method.
But two questions:
The App ES File Explorer just shows one internal storage. Correct so far, bu I have 10GB intern and 60GB extern SD, so there should be 70GB internal storage shown. But ES FIle Explorer just shows 60GB internal storage. Is this a bug? Do I have to worrie?
Under the system settings -> storage I can see the internal 10GB and the external 60GB seperately. Does the system take care of the "migrate files" it self in order to lower the usage of the real internal storage? Or do I have to go the the settings time to time in order to click the "migrate files" manually?
greetings and thanks for any help so far

i wouldnt recomend doing a partition, as cm always did it for me, it recognizes only the ext4 partition and says cant mount as link2sd, so if you want link to sd, then try not patitioning the card, worked fine on mine once..

ok, thanks a lot. The system is working fine now, but I now wanted to create a backup from the fully furnished phone and TWRP is not able to do so. On the internal memory TWRP says "not enouph space" and on the external (/external_sd/) it saysy out of memory. So how can I now create a backup?
Before the new external sd extension for the internal memory i was able to create backups, but with the new setting it seems impossible.

ok, in theory there must be two partitions on the sd card:
most of the memory as extention for the internal android storage
a little free space as fat32 for backups and as "external sd card"
But I am not able to achieve this. I tried this:
first idea: formatting on computer, then put it in phone and select "extend for internal storage" for the first partition. but then the phone formats the whole sd card and the second fat32 partition disappears
second idea: backup the extended partition, then formatting and creating the two partitions and restore the backup to the first partition. but the "android extended partition" can not be read by my programs. So how can I achieve this? Or is there an other way?

Your life will be easier if you use MiniTool Partition Wizard. Fully wipe your card, then repartition with EXT4 through that.

I already used this program. It is a very useful tool, but it didn't work.
I did it like the following:
put sd out of phone into computer
start MiniTool and wipe
delete all partitions
create two new partitions: first a primary fat32 at the beginning of the sd card (10GB) and on the rest at the end create a second primary ext4 partition (50GB)
wait until finish, unplug from pc and back into phone
reboot phone
in the android menu under "storage" klick on the 50GB ext4 partition
over the menu klick on "use as internal storage extention", but then he warns that the fully sd card will be formatted. when I klick no, he returns to the previews menu. If I klick yes, he creates a 60GB unreadable "android_extended" partition and adds this to the internal storage. So my little fat32 partition will get lost
What am I doing wrong?

If u format throw TWRP 2 partitions into TWRP u can find only backup partition and into ur system u can find the second as SD and the other into internal under name ext-Sd2
Not sure about the last name but sure ull find it

My apologies for necroing this. I picked the two first entries in google. Just in case somebody else finds the same problem
The OP was doing FINE with his/her partitions. Link2sd and titanium backup can have issues placing the mount scripts in the correct place
I solved the problem. Try this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78074532&postcount=5671
SM-A520F | Android 7
What I've tried:
I partitioned the sd card using minitool partition wizard. I partitioned it into 100gb fat32/exfat and 20gb ext4 partition. I was able to install apps onto the ext4 partition and read things from the fat partition. However, there was a couple problems. I could never see the ext4 partition, all I saw was the internal storage (32gb) and the sd card fat partition (100gb) so I didn't know anything about the sd card ext4 partition.
Secondly, on reboot the fat partition would not mount. I would have to take out the sd card out and put it back in to get it to work.
Thirdly, even when the fat partition would mount it would not show up in windows mtp. When I plugged the phone into the computer all that I could see was the internal storage, so if I wanted to put anything onto the sd card I would have to take it out and put it into the computer.
I've used this adoptable storage module to enable installing apps on sd card. It "worked" but I face two problems with this: solid explorer only reads the sd card so it says I'm only getting 120gb (not 120gb + 32gb) and secondly it doesn't load magisk modules properly, so vanced youtube or viper4android don't work. Also now I can't get reverse this.
I've been trying for a while now, I would really love some help.

I think that the setting in developer options worked! Easier than partitioning.
