Hi Guys, I just wanted to check if there's any fix to move apps to SD card, I've tried a couple of apps & xposed modules too but nothing's working.
it's running on android 6.0.1 u have to format sd card as internal storage to install apps on sd card and sd has to be minimum class 10 or else apps will take a lot of time to launch

By doing this I will only be able to use my SD card for installing apps & nothing else, it'll not let me store anything else on SD card & thats why I am not formatting the SD card as internal.

Thanks for responding. I did switch to Adoptable Storage when I bought this device & noticed that it only stored apps, game data etc. Adoptable storage was not showing / detecting on my pc & laptop too, check this link for more info https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/109134/p/1449,9582

Hey,
I backed up my whole system via CWM to my SD card while I was trying a new ROM out. When I went to restore there were no back-ups found? I checked my phone memory as well as my SD card and found absolutely nothing. Thee is also another thing, when I move music to my SD card it won't play but when I move it to the internal memory it play fine?
Is my SD card faulty at all? Would a reformat sort it out?
Edit: Also when I take a picture, the picture will be unsupported format and I can't view it on my computer either?

when you are in settings those it shows that the sd card is mounted? have you tried the sd card on a computer? if the info you had in the sd card doesn´t shows up then you should try formatting the card.

It did show the SD card was mounted and that it was fine. Whenever I put data on it (music, photos, apks etc etc) they would just either get deleted, corrupted or not work at all.....
I have reformatted my SD card and it is working fine for now...
try using a different card, for example my note 2 did not accept 32 gigabytes SanDisk, I had to buy kingston 32gb class 10
Hello
I own Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 and it is rooted. I recently purchased a class 10 Sandisk Micro SD card with 64 GB capacity. I was very happy that I did but my happiness did not last long when I have come to know that 3rd party apps do not have write permission in Kitkat. After some research I was successful to make the SD card writable to 3rd party apps by modifying the permissions.xml file.
Everything seems to be fine at this time but it was not actually. The SD card when seen under storage in settings would show me that it is mounted with 62.5 GB capacity and 60 GB free. But when I try to browse the files in SD card, there are nothing. Apps saved in SD card do not open and I am also unable to capture images from camera to SD card storage.
I thought may be unmounting the SD card and mounting it back would work and it worked but after a while the same problem. My device shows that it has mounted an SD card but cannot access anything saved in it. So, I have to unmount and mount SD card every time and this is very much annoying.
Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you for your time.

Thank you for your reply.
Yes. It is Ex FAT format. Which format should I format it to? Ex FAT or just the FAT format.
It is not about applications. The card just gets undetected after some time and nothing can be accessed including music and images. I have to unmount it and mount again for the device to detect the SD card.
Format your SD Card on your phone its self. Go to settings, storage and than SD Card and format it.

Thanks mate.. Followed your instructions... Working fine as of now.
Is there a way to make apps automatically install to my SD card or do I have to do it manually? Also will apps that are on my SD card run slower than those on internal memory? It is a samsung class 10 card. Thanks

Hello,
Just wondering if anybody has any knowledge on how to install a new SD card when you already have adoptable storage enabled. I'm assuming I could power down the phone and copy everything over, but my new SD card is 200gb vs 128gb installed. I'm worried the partition table wouldn't be set properly.
Any advice would be great!
Thanks,
Jaime
I haven't tried but perhaps unmounting the SD card would help?

The data stored on your card must be moved back to the internal storage in order to avoid breaking your apps. You can do that from the internal storage menu. If you can't fit everything, you'll have to delete things until you're under the limit. At that point, you can go back into the SD card storage menu and format it as "portable", meaning it will work in other devices. If there's any data still on it, you will lose it. Then put in the new card and set it up for "adoptable" as the previous card was.
I have added a 32gb SD Card but I can't even update applications as the rom is too low 8GB I believe. And it's occupied by os mostly. I moved all the apps to sd card but still the apps don't get moved completely from internal storage. And after update the apps get back to internal storage.
How do I get rid of this annoying problem!!?
Try factory resetting, maybe its a bug

So this doesn't happen to anyone else?
Also I noticed when I move app to sd card it doesn't completely move it. say a 222mb app after moving to sd card, it shows 167mb on device storage and 2xx on sd card!
I had that problem.. I partitioned my sd card, I downloaded link2sd plus and I was able to move the whole app to sd card, it's better to use the option link to sd card rather then the option move to sd card, your apps run properly when you link instead of move.. I also installed a custom rom , Igot memory for days

Yes, you cant completely move all app data on sd card. Try link2sd if it works
Storage problem solved for galaxy grand prime plus or other low storages devices
