Is it possible to upgrade to Marshmallow 6.0 on LG Tribute 5? I’ve heard that w/Marshmallow 6.0 you can format the SD card as internal storage for apps, which on Lollipop restricts you from moving apps to SD card leaving you with very little storage for apps. Totally sucks. Thanks!
Anyone have any info on this? I can't keep uninstalling my apps and reinstalling eveytime Facebook needs to BLOODY UPDATE!!! Why the hell are phone makers still making 8GB storage phones when its not enough space for more than 1 or 2 apps after all the bloat that the carriers cram in????

Hello I have rooted my Galasy S4 and flashed cm onto the device. My question is how do i free up the internal storage? I still only have less than 9.57gb of available storage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not much really frees up the space because you can break programs or the phone. You can use FolderMount to symlink files from the SD to the Memory Card. Your limited to 3 symlinks unless you buy the program. Myself I couldn't get it to work but maybe I was linking wrong.

Samsung has reserved 6 GB of space for the system, etc. There is no way to get more space, other than an external SD card.
I just have seen screenshots of available storage at 16.00gb mine only shows 9.57gb. That is the only reason I have asked. Thanks for the responses.
There isnt much we can do about that. All we can do is get a larger sd card
Due to variances in how manufacturers measure their space (GB vs GiB: a short version is using 1000MB = 1GB when, strictly speaking, 1024MB = 1GiB), you will never have the same amount of advertised space available on a device.
A device advertised as 16GB will have between 14.3-14.6GiB of available space, depending on the manufacturer. Cut out ~6 of that for Samsung's bloat, and you're left with the 9.x that we currently have.
Whenever possible, store items on your external storage and research if some of the apps you are using will allow the App2SD function (can anyone verify if this still works? I read somewhere it was disabled with the JellyBean update).
Hope that helps, and good luck managing your space. Perhaps its time we all stop being such space hogs ...........(on second thought...nah!)
Hey guys,
(running Xperia Z2 on Cyanogenmod version cm-11-20141206-NIGHTLY)
i know, i know. this question was asked a thousand times before and most of the time the solution was simple. but it seems, like the xperia Z2 has a different reason for this behaviour. i bought the 16 GB Version a couple days ago and the Power of this thing is incredibly, considering i had a Samsung Wave II before.
installed a few apps like Instagram, Twitter, etc. and tried out some games. of course, running them was no struggle for this Flagship, of course. but soon, my storage was already full. After uninstalling the huge games and some smaller apps, cleaning up the leftovers, clearing the cache, rebooting...still "insufficient storage available".
Turns out around 7 GB of Storage were used by "other" files, says android. so i hit up "other", check every file in there, delete 'em, reboot - still the same problem.
next thought: maybe 16 GB just isn't enough for all the background data that comes together after installing a few apps. so i put a 32 GB micro SD in, tried Link2SD. which failed. would post a screenshot but i don't run Android in English.
Says something like "App2SD is not support by your device, because its primary external memory is emulated from the interal storage."
i'm not familiar with unix and it's data system, but to me, this sounds like a plugged in micro sd would be added to the internal storage. which would make linking apps unneccessary. but then, i wouldn't have this storage problem.
i didn't need to make a swap/linking partition on my SD card before, but maybe i need to do it for this phone.
downloading partition app...surprisingly successfully, tried to reformat, delete all partitions, create a big one for private storage and about 8 GB for the swap. failed. every app i tried just wouldn't work. no errors, just won't apply the changes. i tried it with the SD card mounted and unmounted. i made sure i was going to partition the SD card, not the internal memory.
this is depressing and really takes the fun out of a Overkill-Phone like this.
i hated the bloated and customized Sony UI on the original Firmware, but i didn't have a storage problem. but i shouldn't need to "downgrade" just because of this bug.
could it be the development progress on this phone? i'm running a nightly, but there are no stable versions yet. but this stuff worked with an unofficial port, on an really outdated phone.
As we all know vanilla marshmallow provides the feature to use a micro SD card AS system memory. But since i havent Found it on the mm beta update i was wondering if anyone did. Maybe it is missing due the fact that mm is still in beta. What do you think?
They will maybe add it in later beta versions or final, i don't know if they will
I'm also confused about this. The option to move apps to sd has been removed. You can set the sd card as default storage location and when I downloaded music from my nas my only option was a location I hadn't seen before: /storage/32FD-3596 which turned out to be the sd card.
I haven't looked for hidden folders so I'm not sure if apps are partly or wholly stored there but I doubt it as I only have 5.7gb free of 10.4gb.
It looks like the common internal/sd storage hasn't been implemented. If storage is integrated at some point however, surely this will make occasionally using the 2nd slot with a Sim card impossible as removing the sd card would break apps fully or partially stored there.
it seems to me that Huawei has not implemented MM "adoptable storage" functions
(a little explanation of "adoptable storage" can be found here http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/10/android-6-0-marshmallow-thoroughly-reviewed/7/)
i can't find that option in the newer firmware for my honor 7
very sad
If they wont implement it they would spare the most valuable feature in mm .. If so id consider selling my h7 and get another phone.. Lets hope they will include it in the next build
Can anyone confirm moving apps to SD doesn't work?

So if I have under Android 5 apps moved to SD, they will be automatically moved to the device system partition again along with the Android M update?
Sounds either like a preparation step for a later upgrade including this new feature or like a limitation - does Android M still support apps to SD if the external storage isn't merges with the internal?
Hello everybody,
I have a dumb question about downloading apps and games to directly SD card.
Because phone have 2 gb memory and can't install apps or games due to less memory. So I got the SanDisk 32 gb SD card. Still have same problem and can't find the solution to download directly Google Play apps to SD.
For your info, I haven't rooted my phone yet and software version is 4.4.4.
What can I do to fix? Thanks in advance.
Nothing you can do to fix it. The sdcard integration was not introduced untill android 6.0 and even then it doesn't work completely right.
So, what shall i do for downloading apps? I moved all apps what i can move to the sd memory. Still cant download apps due to less memory.

There is nothing you can do except uninstall some apps. Even moving the apps to the sdcard doesn't move the app data which takes up the most rom.
To be honest the next time you get a device make sure it has at least 32gb of storage.
Thank you so much for the fast replies.
Hi there. I'm a new member to the community and in desperate search for a Android 6.0 Marshmallow ROM that is compatible with my Hip street Pilot Tablet. Or even someone willing to make one? I've had problems since I picked up this tab in a sale, mainly being stuck on 5.1 Lollipop and lack of internal memory (unable to run apps on SD card). I have rooted it and tried to relocate my main memory to SD card but no luck with what I need it for. Really I need marshmallow where I can sync the internal and external memory as one. Anyone offer any help? Thanks, Kieran.
