hi,
I am on a rooted 900w s5 and I'm trying to move apps to the system partition. Mainly, Im trying to move viper to stop it from turning off and on constantly when installed as user. When I try to do this and reboot, the app disappears. Only flashing the app from recovery works but then i get issues with the convolver in viper not working. Permissions are all set correctly too.
Any solutions?
Thanks
Hi!
I 've used Link2SD to do what you want.
I had done this manually in LP , but something changed in MM. I haven't found out the difference because I've used Link2SD and it is easier
Not working for me. Nothing seems to be working
The only way to install apps on system its using a zip file and flashing it from recovery to add those apps on system dir
if you are on Marshmellow, DONT EVEN THINK OF LINK2SD!!!!! _ (it will mess your internal & external Storage. yu'll need to flush stock os again).
the changes between MM & LP are mainly to the Storage Permissions.
Samsung disabled the option to move or link apps and their DATA to EXTERNAL!!!!
THOUGH..... there is an AWESOME App Called: "ROOT ESSENTIALS"
this is how you do it: (in case your premissions is not messed up)
in "root essentials" choose the storage tab and then format your Ext' SD as "Internal Storage". This way you will have all your storage as Internal (up to 256GB)
you can also choose how much % you want to allocate from your Ext' SD to be Internal, And how much leave as External.
-
This is the Only Good Solution I found on S5 6.0
p.s.
I just formatted all as INTERNAL and now my phone have 140GB as Internal (everything is handled as admin!!!)

How is that any different than what marshmallow can already do? Unless you can actually access the sd card when taking it out, it's the exact same.

Thanks for this but I dunno if this will solve my problem. My problem is mainly with viper4android crashing and staring up again (turning off and on) while listening to music. It happens when I install it as a user app which I have to do to get the convolver and field surround to work. To get it to stop crashing I moved the app to /system/priv-app and rebooted. I can't do that on my s5 MM. When I reboot the app disappears. LOL
I'll try your method and see if it works.

its not perfect but, if you do 50% as internal and 50% as External.... you will be able to access those 50% external from any machine (will req' a fat sd to enjoy space)
or
Downgrade from Marshmallow.

I mean, this is a scam right? This is a bogus account that everyone should ignore at this point? You offer a solution you say works 100%, someone confirms it works, then you ask how to do it?

i get right up to the well but cant get the water to drink.
i also tried the Xpose Framework, aftre installing and settings, i got to the point i need to Cut/Paste, But all File Explorers say there is no permission to WRITE on SD Card. _ even the Write Permision on ESFileExplorer say i cant have it with S5 G900F...
so if that friend got it to work on 6.0.1 id love to know how the procces looked.
cheers.

Hi
I Can tell what I did.
First data: I have a S5 900H Dualcore. Marshmallow 6.0.1 and it was impossible to mount the second partition using Link2SD I always got an error. So as described in this forum. I downloaded from Play Store the APK Root Essentials, and chosed the tab Adopted or Emulated Memory (I have this APP in spanish and I do not know how is displayed in english) a new window appears indicating taht the SD will be formated, I accepted it, the APP began the process and ask me to download from Play store a plugin to continue the process.
Downloaded the plugin directly in my cell, I flashed it (the plugin is in zip format, my cell is root and has Teamwin recovery) the cell reboot automaticaly and again I opened the Root Essentials, thats all. Whit this same APP you now may choose to move your APPs to the SD card.
Opening the system to see how is my phone now I found that Memory is 49.73 GB used to a total of 64GB (I do not know why those numbers because my Cell has 16GB internak and other 16GB External SD maybe some one may explain this) Anyway it is saying my cell memory has now 64 GB
Internal Memory 16 GB--External SD 16 GB. You cannot find that your internal memory is bigger than before because those ar the phisycally configuration BUT now your phone added the Extrnaal SD to the Internal Memory and works like a unique one.
There is another method you may try and it is using Xposed Apk, it has a module that make the same and links the ext SD with the internal memory. I saw that it works well. I cannot try it because I never could install Xposed App in this cell I alway got an error.
Hope this may help you. Regards!
Thnak you.
So i did not flush the plugin.
How did you flush it please?
Using odin or recovery mode? (and what did you choose? Update?)
Thank you
Does anyone actually have a solution to my issue?

so, you really got me motivated to sort this out. (not about our dear thread opener though i hope he'll fin the answer, but regarding the sd as internal).
i did not quite on Root Essentials and investigated some more. happy to say i found a solution for S5 G900F, Android arshmallow 6.0.1.
this is what i did:
1. Root The Device
2. Install Root Essentials
*note*: there is a plugin file that we need to flush using RootEssentilas, but we will be asked to do so only after : Adopting, and the Revertring. (on reverting we'll be asked to flush the plugin). So....
3. Adopt the Sd. (Adopt the whole 100%)
4. you will be asked to Reboot, so do so
5. after rebbot, go to "Adopt SD" tab again, AND NOW "REVERT" the Process.
* Now you will be Given Ifo To Download the Plugin and Flush it USING ROOT ESSENTIALS FLASHER TAB!
(you would be also asked to Backup System and such, I DID IT maybe 10 Times But NEVER BACKED UP ANYTHING! so IMO, you can skip the backup).
6. Download the PlugIn
7. In RootEssentilas goto "TOOLS" tab and then the "FLASHER" tab, Click "Flash Zip File" and then choose the Downloaded File to flush it.!
8. After Flashing the Plugin Restart your Device
9. NOW ADOPT the SD _ (i have 64gb, I choose 50% so ill be able to connect my phone to Pc and Still Get the other 50% to move Files from Pc to Phone)
***IMPORTANR*** _ YOUR PC WILL NEVER LOAD THE ADOPTED SD!!!! (so if you did 100% from 64GB you will see Only the Real Phisical Phone Storage, on S5 its either 16GB or 32GB)
SO Choose 50% !
10. After Adopting the SD, goto "STORAGE" tab on RootEssentilas , And then goto "APP INSTALL LOCATION" and Choose INSTALL ON SD!! (SAVE)
11. Now install all your games and favorite apps (regullary!)
*****************************************
Now come the important Step
******************************************
12. in RootEssentilas goto "ADOPTABLE STORAGE" tab and then goto "MIGRATE DATA" tab. Click on Migrate Data,
Now pay Atention:
CHOOSE THE SD CARD That Was ADOPTED!!! _ (if you did 50%, the you will have 2 Sd Crads, one as Portable, And second wil be Writen As Oly "SD Card" Which is the Adopted AS Internal, So choose IT)!
after choosing the Adopted SD, Look On the Upper Right For the Three Dots of the Settings, clikc them for Settings and choose "MIGRATE DATA".
Let the Device to its trick, it will move anything it can.
you will see that your Orginal Internal Storage has more free space then Before the Migrate, And that the ADoptabe Storage Is getting Filled!.
thats it my Friends.
Hope This Help Someone.
if ill Do it again, Ill Make sure to Video it.
Specials Thanks for those Hard Core, Digging Friends that gave the the motivation to keep on.
thnka you.

CORRECTED. I Unistalled the adopted memory because I did not like the readings I get. I reinstalled it and now I am getting the correct reading 49.76 GB in use a total of 64GB. The problem I am encountering now is that sometimes the cell reboots.

I got this installed and mostly working I think. Device storage says Internal Storage is 16GB and SD Card is 64GB (I assigned that). Then the portable storage is 120GB from the rest of my 200GB SD. So it's working, though the SD Card in Device Storage is barely full and internal storage is almost full!

Prerequisites:
1. obviously moto g 2015 3rd gen
2. bootloader unlocked followed by root (search for this in other threads)
3. make backup of your ext sd card as everything will be deleted (mine is 64 gb strontium memory card)
4.card reader (mine is Transcend USB 3.0 Super Speed Multi-Card Reader for SD/SDHC/SDXC/MS/CF Cards)
Steps:
1. switch off your device and take ext sd card out
2. download and install MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition 9.1 on your pc http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
3. Insert your SD card to a card reader and open it on your computer
4. Back up all your files to the computer because partitioning will wipe your data
5. Open Mini Tool in your computer. Locate your SD card (be careful in choosing and make sure not to choose the drive of your computer)
6. Right click and choose Delete
7. Right click on it again and choose Create New. Create “FAT32″ partition (This is where all your media files will go. Be sure to make it bigger than the 2nd part)
8. Select “Create as: PRIMARY”
9. Next, ext4 partition. This is where your apps will go. I suggest a value of 512Mb or 1Gb would be big enough but if you insist you can go as high as 2Gb.
10. Select “Create As: PRIMARY” (make sure that it is both set to primary because it will not work if it is not set to primary)
11. Click the “Apply” button on the top left corner and wait for it to finish the process. Done.
12. Put back your SD card to your phone and switch it on.
13. Download and install Link2sd from Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=en
14. Open Link2sd. You will be prompted to choose between ext2, ext3, ext4 and FAT32. Select ext4.
15. It will say mount script created. Reboot your phone now.
16. Open link2sd and if the message doesn’t show up, you succeded.
17. check storage info
18. Go to Link2sd>Settings>check the autolink (to automatically move apps upon installation)
i have link2sd plus version as it allows me to link obb etc
attached some pics for idea
lastly do not held me responsible for any problem as i tried my best to explain everything in detail
if any query feel free to ask and to encourage me for more work hit THANKS :highfive:
Will this allow apps not normally capable of being installed on external storage to be moved to external storage?

The above method makes partition of external sd card and treat that as internal memory so answer is yes.now u may ask why this linking ? Answer is simple because some apps have widgets

Great, this is exactly what I've been loking for, thanks!!
Now my next question...can I just use gparted to set the partition? I really prefer to not use windows if I can avoid it.

Hey so I didn't think I'd need to do this on this device however turns out I had too. could anyone help me out? I'm getting slight lag on 16gb class 10. I have it partitioned 10gb FAT32 and 4gb ext4. Is that wrong?

about partition u have done right that is 10gb fat32,4gb ext4 and actually is depends how many apps u going to use on your device.i have 5gb ext 4 partition.

I'll try that app and report back!
I did set 10gb fat32 and 4gb ext4 so I'm glad that's correct, hopefully this lag fix sorts me, opening apps are sluggish on the SD card to the point where having link2sd and save obb to sdcard is more strain then the worth lol

3c toolbox app has another feature named "sd card read speed" try that also.if possible try to find what is actually causing lag and we will try to fix that problem :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the Tutorial @umo4u it's seems ideal however can you please confirm it's working ok with the latest version of Link2SD?
The review thread on Play seems to point to a recent update breaking mount scripts (I understand that various other reasons will cause) just looking for clarification.

Thanks for the guide, used it for my Moto G/4G.
I'm still a bit puzzled by some inner workings of Link2sd though, mainly the fact that the APK part keeps going back to the main memory even though I keep linking it to the external SD. Is anyone else seeing that?

i do not face any problem u mentioned earlier as i have done same exact guide on my moto g 2015 too step by step.try steps mentioned below
1.go to link2sd and open it,if no message pop up than u have created mount scripts right.if any message pop up than recreate mount scripts by taping bar on left side of app than recreate mount script than ext4 than reboot,hopefully u should not see any message after u open app
2.now go to three dots (on extreme right of app) and check storage info (u will be able to see all partitions including the one which u have created of external sd card and check whether it have free space or not)
3.go to settings and check auto link followed tap install location and check automatic
hope above steps solves your problem :fingers-crossed:
Yeah, that's all good. The slight problem is that for some reason the APK part sometimes goes back to the internal memory, at least according to the interface. Check your apps, maybe you'll see the same thing.

well i checked all my linked apps and all there apk part are not linked to internal memory rather to sd card (partition of ext sd card)
which version of link2sd u using ? did ya download it from play store or other source ? do u have link2sd plus too ?
Link2sd Plus, yes, latest version, I'm going to check the "auto link" option maybe that will fix what I am seeing.
If you will use your sd-card as internal storage then you must edit your build.prop.
You need ROOT on your LG G3
- open build.prop
- scroll down to "ro.lge.adoptable_storage=false" and change FALSE in TRUE
- save build.prop
- reboot phone
- go to "Settings" --> "General" --> "Storage & USB" --> "Portable Storage"
- select sdcard "random numbers and letters"
- select the three dots --> "Setting"
- apply "Format as internal"
- thats all
Tested with stock marshmallow 30B on D855 32GB.

Anyone tried it? Any possible feedback about this mod? Is this require class 10 msd card?

Please be aware that, Formatting the SD Card as Internal, turns your removable/external SD Card option into a more or less permanent (and no longer removable) part of the device.
If you choose Internal, things change. I believe the Card is formatted as a local encrypted EXT4 drive and mounted as part of the system. It's then set as the preferred storage, and you're prompted to move data over. Newly generated data is placed on the adopted storage by default.
If you try to remove it, things will probably/defiitely go haywire.

True. I don't recommend it though. Think system gets slow when using sd card as internal. I foresee hundreds of topics here on xda with MM is crap, apps are missing, this rom is so slow/laggy just as in my HTC Desire days when everybody used sd card as internal because of the little system space the desire had (150mb or something like that you could expand it to 1 or 2 gb if i remember correctly).

Ahh.... The days of the HTC Desire Bravo, my phone of choice at the time, whatever happened to Ext4 recovery....
I totally agree, keep away from SD Internal and get the App Developers to use Adoptable Storage.....:good:
Worked perfectly!
I tried it with the 64gb microSD XC card i just bought and now i have ~74gb of internal memory, thanks!
By the way, searching for the build prop line there was another one that said "persist.splitwindowsupport_all=false"
do you think that changing that value to true would bring multi window support for all apps? Thats a feature i used in my s4 ( via Xposed i think) and would like to have it in my 5.5 screen =D
If it doesn't work no biggie xD
Once again thank you! ^^

It's work
I followed the same steps as listed using Build Prop Editor. Then converted sd card storage to internal. However, my internal storage still reads 25 gb! I had a 128 gb class 10 high speed lexar card. It was also not showing up on terminal emulator through the "free -m" command. How to check where memory has gone? Thanx
Changed the build prop to false and redid everything. Works fine. Thanx

Well I wanted to increase my ram via sdcard through ramexpander. This was my usual routine. But Marshmallow nixed that and ramexpander was not able to write to sd card. So I edited build prop as shown in one of the threads and formatted my card to internal. Though ramexpander does not work, I have used swapper and voila! it was successful. I was able to verify swap through terminal emulator. Also increased clock speed. Now working well. I have found this method to be flawless when flashed properly. Trick is to flash all the zips and only then reboot. I read that the other method has issues.

Same problem here...
Restore your build.prop copy or twrp copy of the /system partition or flash the whole system
Now that the G3 has marshmallow officially, you do not need root. You can change adoptable storage setting to True using ADB.
I even split my sd card into part adoptable (internal) and part portable (external).

Do you need root to do this?
All I've seen so far is that root is temporary on Marshmallow. So I would assume this change would revert back after I reboot my phone?
If you don't need root... could you post the steps and adb commands to enable it?
Thanks!
I used this as a guide.

It's supposed to be so you can move (some, not all) apps 2 SD card.
The problem is it does not automaitcally move the app to the card. You still have to move it manually. Also, when you update on Google Play, the app moves back to the internal storage.
It's not perfect and hopefully Android N improves this.
Is it for everyone? No. Some people do use it but some don't need it. Just leaving it "Portable"/External as it has been for years, still works fine.
I just did it because I can.
Hi, can anyone explain to me this app and how to make it work? Didn't find any good up to date tutorial.
Here is some info:
-I have TWRP rooted stock rom (SM-G935F)
-SanDisk extreme pro 64gb microSD card
-Plus version of Link2SD
-Pro version of MiniTool Partition wizard
Just can't make it work...So here are my questions:
-Can I use whole SD card as internal storage link? Or do I need 2 partitions, one classic mass storage, second one for linking? I am not planning to remove card from phone.
-Do I have to make some storage label in MiniTool, or can I keep it blank? And what about partition letter? For example G: , or can I set None?
-Can I use linked storage partition from computer via cable as MTP?
-What partitions are viable for S7 edge? And is there speed difference? (ext2/ext3/ext4) ... I was trying Fat32+ext4 and then whole card as ext4, phone always tells me card is broken and need format and I am at beginning again.
-If I somehow manage to make this phone to recognise it, how to actually use Link2SD app?
There are some topics and videos out there, but I didn't find anything up to date or in english.
Keep in mind I am just ordinary user who somehow managed to root his phone only becouse of this app - to expand low internal storage, without any knowledge about android, linux and filesystems. I just need to move some huge games to SD completly with obb.
Thanks for any advice.
Im having the the same issue with using Link2SD on my SM-G935F... Ive tried partitioning the sd card in every possible combination and still get a 'corrupt storage'' issue from the ext extention partition when rebooting my handset. From what I can tell its the actual Samsung firmware thats been rewritten to read the external storage differently due to their lack of foresite of allowing adoptable storage (code written out of their versions of Marshmellow 6.0 +, same as Sony for the Xperia range)... Fingers crossed a work around is found sooner rather than later as Link2SD is a lifesaver for releasing data and obb files from internal storage
I don't really know but I think the ext SD card is used as storage and even with solid explorer and similar file managers you have to grant permission before deleting or even creating a folder else it'll fail so I think you have to configure adoptable storage in order to be recognize as part of SD card to be used with Link2SD and also I haven't seen an update for Link2SD for a very long time.

I also have the same problem. I tried ext2 and ext4 as the second partition. Allowing 4GB until 1.5GB partition because according to the old guides, it can only process up to 1.5GB of second partition. But still, it always says it's corruted, there was a time when It was successfully read by the app but after restart, the problem returns. There was even a time where the FAT32 partition was the one that is not recognized
Sooooooooooo....
is there any solution to this yet ? cannot find Anything STILL !

Same here. Link2sd is not working (mount script error) anymore on S7 Edge (SM-G935FD). System crashed and did factory reset. Hope this issue could resolve soon.
I have the same problem, witch I think is specifically for this model (SM-G935F). Its seems that even rooted, it has some security on system folders, that prevents necessary mounts be done
I tried a mod where I can use the sd card to be seen as internal memory, but that mod pushes all apps to the sd card, and if affect performance of apps like facebook and other apps I use daily
in my previous phones I used to use linl2sd and I was in control which apps to link to sd card, and I would never choose facebook or whatapp , I used to link big games only
Is there a way to make link2sd work on s7e instead of the silly mod that pushes all apps to sdcard
I want to use the feature that allows the SD card to be used as Internal storage rather than Portable storage. When I go to Settings-Storage there are no 3 bar, "settings" to allow me to chose to change my current SD card to act as Internal storage. It only Identifies it as Portable storage. It does the same thing when I put in a new SD card. I have a second Galaxy S5 that does exactly the same time so it would appear that the Verizon S5 doesn't support that feature of Marshmallow. Any suggestions?

Samsung removed Adopted Storage because they were too lazy to make it work.
The trick to make it work on the S7 does work on the S5.
http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/
Instead of the : separator I had to use , as the separator to match what I saw in the responses to adb commands.
use the same character you see between the disk numbers after you execute the "sm list-disks" command.
Adoptable Storage Hack Not Working
My son and I each have a 16GB Samsung Galaxy S5, and have followed the procedure listed in Paul O'Brien's article for the S7. Neither of us saw any errors, but it is apparent that the S5 is not using the newly-prepared SD card. My son was getting low memory warnings, which prompted him to try this out. The problem is that he is still getting the warnings after setting up a fast 32GB SD card. Has anyone had the same experience? Has anyone solved the problem?

make sure you have the latest version of adb installed before executing commands. data ratio is done with this , instead of this :

To be clear before I try this (sorry if this is a stupid question), would you replace both : with , ?
Like this: 'sm partition disk,179,160 private'
OR just the : in the ratio itself
Like: 'sm partition disk:179,160 private'
Thanks!

I was having the same issue. Then, in the comments of the linked article I found the following step, which worked for me:
After following the steps to set it to private: Settings > Storage > SD card > More. Migrate your data
That seemed to do the trick for me. It now shows tons of storage even when plugged into my PC. So far so good. I'll report back if I run into any issues with it.
Worked for me

Followed all the steps for my GS5. I thought it was a dud at first, until I realized that I forgot to replace the : with a komma. Worked like a charm! Verizon be damned! Good luck.
My app downloads are still being saved to the phone internal storage, not the adopted storage on the SD card. Shouldn't have to migrate data do SD if S5 supports adoptable storage. Anyone know a workaround or a solution. Thanks.
After following all of the steps with ADB, it seems like I'm successful, but when I reboot, my new, formatted, working SD card (Lexar MicroSDHC 633x 32GB) comes up as corrupt. Any ideas?
(I tried using Root essentials too -tried both methods 4 or 5 times... but no dice)
For those of you that got adoptable storage working - what ROM are you on. I'm trying to figure out if Touchwiz is what's blocking it for me - do you have to be on a CM13 build?
@Nova5 ? @[email protected] ? @kuyankee ? @Mortis13 ?
Thanks!
To make it work on the s5 you need adb, connect the phone by USB and issue the commands through adb on the desktop. Samsung hid the option from the gui.

@Nova5 - thanks. But as I mentioned in the previous post, I've tried it on adb on the desktop. Looks/acts like it works, but when I reboot, the SD card shows up as corrupted. Everything I've read seems like it SHOULD be able to work, but I'm running into a dead end with every tip I get.
Have you done it and gotten it to work? What ROM are you on? What SD card are you using?
(Those are the only variables I can think of that would be causing me a problem.)
Im running my stock rom, non-rooted VZW S5 with it, used the ADB commands, many reboots. No problems. You do have to ignore the bizarre memory count in the Storage settings. When Samsung removed the UI for Adoptable, they also prevented it from properly calculating it. It works, but it just counts wrong. I used a 128Gig Silicon Power Ultra1 class card. Did a 25/75 split so that I have a decent sized user accessible space.
"sm partition disk:179,160 mixed 25"
Was the command I used (change numbers to match your discovered disk numbers) the 25 is what percentage you want to give to adopted internal memory.
Running fine and has been since I posted on June 3rd. Start with a totally blank card, no partitions at all. get into developer settings, enable USB debugging, use ADB, connect, issue command. Wait while it processes. Sometimes its seconds, sometimes minutes. If you're using a custom rom, that could be the problem. Samsung half crippled it, but it still works
Is link2sd still not working with marshmallow? Not being affable to really move apps to the adoptable storage was really killing me, had to downgrade to 5.0

If the phone is rooted, I believe there is an app that you can install that will set it up for you. Otherwise you have to enter some commands using ADB shell.
I used this guide to get mine going. Don't forget to migrate data when you are done!

I have troubles with J5, because it has 8Gb memory and official rom takes about 5.5Gb of rom so the rest is full almost imediatelly with 3 extra apps.
So I have rooted phone and put in external SD 32Gb and format is as internal memory, but still get notification all the time that storage is full.
I tried all custom roms here but none works, so I have installed official rom back.
Is there a way to do something to release that internal storage memory?

thank you I tried that but not working.
This this [Module] Magic Folder Binder (requires magisk)
Read #3 post for instructions how to use it
Basically whats that modules does is to mount folders on your external SDcard on internal memory, so you can move your app data to your SDcard and use it as normal.
Any questions ask on module thread.

Thanks, I already formated SD card as internal memmory and moved all apps which can be moved, but basically none of google apps can be moved and that is a problem.
Also don't know what fills up memmory, because fresh installed rom have 5.5Gb and phone fills up in one month to 8Gb.
Some light room will be good but I tried all and nothing works.
Is there a way to remove google apps which usually can not be removed?
I bought j5 and I downloaded At least few apps and it started showing "low disk space " I decided to delete all apps and out of 8gb it shows that I have 4MB only. I can't install anything and this phone is useless

Use the Samsung Smart Switch to restore the original ROM or use a custom ROM, it takes less space a have better performance
