Hello,
I've a LG V30 H930 (european) rooted with Magisk.
I've a 200 GB sdcard inside and I want to migrate my apps to my sdcard to free space in my internal memory.
I tried a lot of solutions but none works.
1/ With the application manager, I choosed the option to move the application files to the SDcard, when I verified the status, it sayed the apps was on the SDcard but when I verified on my SDcard, there was nothing.
2/ I formated the SDcard with ADB command "sm partition disk: 179.64 private", and after the reboot, the memory was recoginzed as internal memory. I asked to migrate the apps to the SDcard, but after the process, no data was tranfered on my SDcard.
3/ I installed Link2SD format my SDcard in 2 partitions and when I linked and app to my SDcard, I've an error message: Link2SD package invalid
Has anyone succeed to migrate apps to the SDcard on LG H930?

As you know in Sgs 2 there are internal storage, sd card (also built in phone) and additionaly external sd card slot. I would like to use this external one as location to move installed apps. There is option in application manager to move some apps to sd card but to the one built in, not the external. I have 32GB external card while built sd card has now only 100 MB free space and I can't download data for installed apps.
How to use external card for apps installation or moving some already installed apps on it?
Your internalSD is part of your phone where as the externalSD is not .You can backup apps to the externalSD but thats all.If you pass working apps to the externalSD you take them out of the system and so out of the phone and they will stop working.That is why there is only the option to move apps to SD (internal).
there is an additional option in the android system, to set a partition for your apps on external SD, you cant do this with Stock Rom anyway, but no idea on SGS2, any custom rom has offered this option so far.... this partition called "sd-ext" see the definition below:
"This is not a standard Android partition, but has become popular in the custom ROM scene. It is basically an additional partition on your SD card that acts as the /data partition when used with certain ROMs that have special features called APP2SD+ or data2ext enabled. It is especially useful on devices with little internal memory allotted to the /data partition. Thus, users who want to install more programs than the internal memory allows can make this partition and use it with a custom ROM that supports this feature, to get additional storage for installing their apps. Wiping this partition is essentially the same as wiping the /data partition – you lose your contacts, SMS, market apps and settings."
Ok, so any idea about such like ROMs or any manual/instruction thread?
So a long time ago I had CM7 installed and never updated and it was my first an only modification to my tablet. Since then my memory card died and I had to RMA it. I'm now trying to do this all over again and I'm finding some difficulties.
I followed the steps below from here:
SDCARD IMAGE: boot.zip *Updated BOOT contents (flashing_boot.img, etc..)
0d4738f80f12da03988b372be1812a57 *cm_acclaim_10.2.0-RC0_13OCT2013_HD_SDC_IMG.7z (mirror)
flashable_expand_bootable_sdcard.zip
flash_format_data1_sdcard.zip
After burning the image and booting from your SDCard, boot into Cyanoboot menu and select “SDC Recovery“. In TWRP/Recovery, select “sdcard” location and select “flashable_expand_bootable_sdcard.zip”. This will auto resize the “data1” and “sdcard” partition on your card. You can do this manually using partition software like MiniTool or GParted. Initial boot time is around a couple minutes. If you are stuck at the booting animation for over 5 minutes, then there is a problem. Power off your device by holding down the power button and boot into “SDC Recovery” again. This time select “flash_format_data1_sdcard.zip” and reboot. When you get into home screen and the notification, say the “sdcard” is blank and ask you to format, do so. It will reformat the “sdcard” partition (Partition 4 on the SDCard) to Fat32.

*(required at least 450MB for SYSTEM1 partition or else GAPPS won’t get fully install
I burned the image then booted the nook. It went into android no problem. I then followed the next step with going into recovery and running the first listed file. No problem so I didn't have to run the next one. I started installing apps again from the Play store and ran into an issue with space. Apparently for some reason I'm getting stuck with 4 partitions on this 32gb sd card with 24gb being completely unused. I opened the mini partition program and noticed this partition wasn't active. I preceded to activate it and put it back in my nook. Now it just boots to stock Nook.
So apparently setting the last 24gb partition screwed things up. Do I have to start over again with the above mentioned instructions?
Finally how the heck am I able to use the full space on the sd card? With the above directions I'm only left with a couple 100mb on each partition. I don't even understand why there are 4 partitions on the sd card in the first place. I understand the BOOT partition but there should only be one other partition and that is what CM10.2 and anything else you put on/install should reside.
UPDATE
I did some digging around on the above link and found information about resizing the partitions.
Install 7-zip if you can’t extract the file.
Extract cm-10.1-2013xxxx-acclaim-HD-SDC.img from cm-10.1-2013xxxx-acclaim-HD-SDC-img.rar/zip
This is a 2GB image that can be burn to a 2GB or bigger microSD card.
After installation, DATA1 partition 3 and SDCard only has xxx MB.
Many will want to expand their SDCard if it is bigger than 2GB.
You need to use a partition software on your computer to modify your SDCard partitions.
Delete (P4, FAT32 SDCARD) and re-size (P3, DATA1) then recreate (P4, FAT32 SDCARD).
(P3 DATA1) If the label don’t show, it’s OK.
Yes, you can delete P3 DATA1 and recreate it. P3 DATA1 has to be EXT4 PRIMARY.
P3 DATA1, store your installed apps and apps data.
P4 SDCard, store your data, apps downloaded data.
You want to expand the last 2 partitions (FAT32 SDCARD) for more storage.
I've done that. Yet still get space problems inside android.
Looking up storage under settings I show to have the following:
Internal Storage
Total Space 26.05GB
Available 24.43GB
Apps 256MB
Cached Data 6.58MB
Then I have another Internal Storage listed
Internal Storage
Total Space 7.45GB
Available 3.5GB
This must be the actual Nook internal storage.
Pulling up the apps under settings and I show 1.6gb used 24gb free.
Why is it I don't have the access to the space for app installations?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm pretty sure you can. You go to Settings>Apps>Downloaded Apps, then you click on an app and hit "Move to sdcard."
Note that this does not work for all apps.
The other, more geeky way is to remap your internal partition with the external sdcard via /system/vold.fstab modifications. I suggest getting acquainted with Android some, learn how to use adb shell, then continue with this route.
The last time I had CM working before the sd card crapped I had full use of the sd card without moving things to the sd card. Apps installed to the full sized partition on their own.
So something must not be right somewhere. I also don't want the internal storage messed with as I also use this device for it's original intention.
i have a rooted p769, my internal memory is almost full and i have a 8gig sdcard which is not even being used, i have tried every program out there to try to move apps to sdcard but nothing is working, is there a way i can somehow rename the internal sdcard to external memory and have the external sdcard renamed to internal memory so i can trick the phone into downloading and installing apps to it.
you have to install ext2sd.zip flash via cwm issue will be solve
I have just installed LOS 14.1 on my GTi9100. Before I started the install I partitioned my SD card with a 5GB Fat32 partition and a 3GB partition with no file type which my previous rooted system required to extend internal memory.
When Lineage installed it repartitioned the SD card and now I have a card with 6MB Fat32 partition and a 29GB partition of unknown type which cannot be used for external storage. I removed the card and tried to repartition using Mini Partition Tools but I cannot resize or change the 29GB partition.
As I have no external storage I cant install your fix for addons file or anything else. I cant use it for camera image storage either.
In TWRP if I select re-partition it says I will lose all data and I don't know if I should do that?
Don't know if this still is relevant. But yes, almost every storage issue (for example not accessible, not visible) I had in my past only got fixed by a full wipe. I don't know all those tools existing out there for data recovery, but if you have a more or less recent backup it isn't that painful to wipe everything.
hello, I'm new here
unknown from where should I start from...
using xiaomi redmi 4x, V 7.1.2 noughet
need help, I'm running out of phone storage
I use taichi & internal sd, few work but most those arm64-v8a
Spoiler
nikke, arknight
don't.
and there's 'do not use taichi' + taichi is no longer developed/updated
how does root work? I read it allowed to read/write in sd card, but do it require another module to work?
lsposed? xposed? magisk? supersu? what they do, and which? other apps?
I tried to auto root before, but always fail
from step by step, what should I do first before able to 'both app & user data in sd card'? can help?
without delete content inside sd card, set as internal, others
You can't not install apps on micro sdcard, stop dreaming.
If you want root.
1. Google how to unlock your phones bootloader and boot your TWRP.img and make backup of boot.img and patch it with magisk app and flash it with fastboot and done.

then can explain what with them
lsposed, xposed, magisk
I use taichi to put apps into sd card(install game and it data in sd card, unroot)
also isn't the purpose of root to able put/ able to read data in sd card?
and there're some 'app to sd card' out there
preference which better & easier
twrp is not the only root method, no?
This is just mods, nobody use its longer, it's for older phones
(1) of course you can save apps to MicroSD card. android native App2SD requires so called adoptable-storage means MicroSD Card full or partially formatted as internal.
https://jimcofer.com/2016/03/10/marshmallow-lg-and-adoptable-storage
No root required. However there is some disadvantage. Because /storage/emulated/ is redirected to MicroSD Card, the former internal storage /data/media/ becomes unused/inaccessable (/sdcard is now pointing to /mnt/expand/...)
Furthermore only apk and media is moved to MicroSD Card (sufficient in most cases).
(2) On rooted devices it's more common to create ext4 partition (or ext4 partition image file on top of exFAT) and mount to /data/sdext subdirectory. This allows to create symlinks and move whole apps to MicroSD Card (so called 2nd partition). There exist apps for easy creating symlinks like Link2SD, Apps2SD. Disadvantage this will slow down phone dramatically as apps on MicroSD Card are much slower than on phone storage.
(3) Another (root) method is bind mount only single directory from MicroSD Card to Internal Storage (for example WhatsApp) which is sufficient free up lot disk space in most cases.
android 11: replace /data/media with sdcard?
i have a rooted phone with android 11. is there a way to replace /data/media with my external sd?

Btw TWRP is no "root method" at all, it just provides raw (root) access to partitions in recovery mode.
for rooting android use Magisk (no TWRP required)
Beware bootloader unlocking will factory reset device. for Xiaomi devices you need to sign up and bond MI account for at least 72 hours, then unlock with MI Unlock Tool.
