Hi all
Please can anyone help me understand if it is possible to use an external SD card as the internal card. I bought 2 of these tablets for my twin boys 7 years old and somehow it runs out of space. I put in an external SD 32gb but not all apps can move to it and updates from play store not downloading due to no space. I have rooted the tablets and unlocked the bootloader, installed Xposed framework with obb to sd and xinternal but it doesn't do the trick. Is there anyway to trick the ROM into seeing the external SD as the internal?

Hi
I bought an android tablet which has around 12GB available internal storage and a 16GB class 4 micro-sd card.
I'm planning to install apps and put some music/video/map data into my tablet.
How would you suggest me to arrange the space?
All apps to internal-sd and others to external-sd?
How about gps map data internal or external?
Best regards
If I were you, I'd just put all the music and video on the external and everything else on the inside.
ok, thanks a lot
Hi Guys,
I recently picked up a new galaxy s2 and but of course rooted it and installed cyanogenmod 7.1
The one problem i ve been faced with in an other wise perfect set up has been to do with the SD card.
I didnt realise that the internal memory (16gb) is actually partitioned into a internal drive of around 1-2gb and an internal SD card of around 14gb
See i have an external 32gb card, but the problem faced is it seems i can only either use the 32gb or the 16gb internal, not both at the same time (it can see both but paths one or the other down a root of mnt/emmc which cant be accessed by most apps
Is there any way to use both? Ideally i wanted my apps to be mounted on the 16gb and google music with its offline music to be mounted on the 32gb sd card?
Is there any way to achieve this?
No?

Say wha?
The internal (14 gb partition of the included 16gb) is /mnt/sdcard.
If you have an external SD card mounted, it will be /mnt/sdcard/external_sd.
Apps using Gingerbread's native apps to sd will always be on the internal sd card, as far as I know.
I can access both internal sd and external sd whenever I want.
I have mp3s stored on external sd, pictures from the camera saving to internal sd.
At least, this is how it is on MY phone.
Hi mate,
cyangenmod let's you play swaps with what one is mounted as sdcard and emmc
None of my apps though can see the other card, except for esfile manager and titanium backup
ideally also for what I want, I need to move apps over to both since I want to dedicated the 32gb card to google music and offline music storage
Your question is what happens already? All apps are automatically installed on your Internal SD and then you put the music manually on your external SD. Not sure if troll or...
I'm honestly not trolling but maybe I'm missing a trick as google music won't see that card?
Also I was hoping to use the offline function built into google music to download the songs to that card so I can pick and chose albums on the fly
Ah, I missed the part where this is a CyanogenMod feature. I don't use CyanogenMod right now, so I'm not familiar with this feature. Can't help you, sorry.
You might want to post to the CyanogenMod forum since this is a feature specific to that ROM. (both the thread here on XDA and on the CM forums)
i bought a cheap mtk phone from tinydeal
X9S by xiaocai http://www.tinydeal.com/xiaocai-x9s-45-ips-mtk6582-4-core-android-422-3g-phone-p-115131.html
and he came with 4GB total(when i say total i mean internal is 1.62GB, phone storage is 1GB and i have no idea where another 1.3GB, i think it's the OS it self) i bought a 10 Class 8GB sd card and i though it was easy to install from play store to the sd card, but the problem it's i can't install directly to sd card and even can't move them after the installation, the only thing i can do is move the apps from internal storage to phone storage, can't install any app to the sd card(the sd card is working great, i copied some music into it and i can listen to it from the phone)
i read somewhere that i can change via adb to set location to external but it didn't worked for me, i also read that i can flash heb files but i don't have the original rom of this phone and also, this still doesn't solve the problem that i can't move apps to the sd card ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455850 )
all i want is just to install asphalt on this phone =\
Anyone?
Hi
I bought this tablet and to my suprise, I wasn't able to move installed apps to my SD card.
After searching, I found that this is Android KitKat problem?!
Most pages suggested to root to be able to install apps on SD card and so I did. But I'm still not able to install or move apps to my SD card.
Do I have to have my SD card in some special formating or is this impossible task for this tablet?
I tried using AppMgr III to move apps to my SD card, but i get this error: "The device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary external storage is emulated. Moving app to SD function cannot be supported by this device."
Any help is appreciated
Hey my old sister has a huawei mediapad t3, 7.0 android no rooted, she is trying to download apps and games on the tablet (16gb storage ) and saying not enough space, any way to move all the apps into sd card? Please tell me if you have any suggestions.
Thanks, john
anyone ?

How to Install and Move Android Apps to the SD Card
Some Android phones don’t have a lot of storage, so you might run out of room for apps. If your device has an SD card slot, you can use that to expand the storage and have more room for apps. However, SD card support is more limited than it used to be.
