Na, did you?
This option allow you to move apps to SD card.

Okay so I figured out that when you insert a new micro sd card, it is added as a portable storage and hence you cannot move apps to sd card, there is no option. But you can format your card from storage options and make it as external storage where you can move the apps to sd card. Just in case anyone was wondering.

Foldermount, in the app store. Can't remember if I paid for it but I can put anything I want onto the external sd card and "pin" it so it looks like its on internal... Works well with a 64gb sd card...

COuld you tell me a bit more about this app? How to "pin" it?
You open the app, transfer the folder you want transfered to the external sd card and then you pin it using foldermount. It is really quite easy and the app shows you what to do the 1st time....
I've transferred my Android folder with all the appdata and obb files onto the sd card, a lot of the internal folders too. Haven't had any problems BUT I do have a class 10 samsung 64gb sd card....

I have the folder mount app and i have alredy pinned my deezer data folder since the beggining, even so my internal memory is still beeing used. As far as i can see its using both, the source folder and the destination folder.
How can i clear the source folder and only use the destination folder?

Yes, apparently when you browse through 'my files" you can see data file in both ext n int sd. But it should be using only ext sd if you have mounted it correctly. Try unmounting the game data, delete the profile from folder mount and remount it. Remember if you have done something wrong and tell. I can help you.

Yeah, i´ve done that several times alredy. Its still using my internal memory. Correct me if i am wrong but if i am downloading something to the source folder that i have pinned it should automatically go to the destination folder and don´t use my internal memory, correct?

When you use folder mount, you are prompted to transfer to destination folder and if u hit yes then it will be transferred. It works perfectly on mine. Maybe u should try formatting the sdcard n try again.

The files are there, there´s nothing wrong with the sd card, but they are also in the internal memory. I wish they weren´t so i could clear some storage in my internal memory. The app prompet me just like you sad but now they are both in the internal memory and in the sd card. I just wanted to use the sd card and not the internal memory.

Then first of all, unmount the game data in folder mount and delete that profile. it will prompt you to tranfer file to source. Hit no ( let it be on extsd). And then see whether the game file is still in the internal sd ? Or else try to mount a new game data present or put some game data on sd and try to mount it and note the amount of free space. after mounting, check the amount of free space. It should be different.

Moving aplications to SD Card i9505 (Samsung update way)

Hello,
I've been looking for an answer on the forums but the responses on this question seem downright stupid or at least completely off the mark. What i want to know is why when i try to move an application to the EXTERNAL SD CARD (Kingmax Class 10 32gb microsd) it says that it moves the application on the sdcard but when i try to view the folders and everything on the external sd CARD it's as if nothing is changed no folders are added and the size does not change. On the phone it says that the application is on the SD Card, is this a BUG or what exactly is going on?

I understand what you mean but if i look into the android folder on the ext sdcard there is no application even though i've set all my apps to be moved on the microsd. Are they hidden or something?

The built-in function is useless. See my blog for details.

Adoptable Storage

So I thought when we used adoptable storage in MM it was going to create and extent to the internal memory, but it looks like only apps can go there. Cant put photos/vids/downloads etc. Am I doing something wrong?

Yea do "migrate data" downloads and stuff actually go to your SD card once you use adaptive storage.
When your sd card is full you can move apps to internal storage. That's what I found so far.
Oh I see, until you actually migrate the data, the storage doesn't show as usable

If you have got adoptable storage working, would you mind sharing your experience regarding speed/performance?

Show/Hide SD card not working

Any app that I try to have search on either local storage or SD card storage for a file, results in a blank screen with the "Recent" view by default. If I expand the lefthand menu, I get options for my Drive account, Audio, Recent, etc...but no SD card and no internal storage. Is there a known way to force my phone to "redetect" storage? Or a possible alternative to re-flashing? I just moved over to 935T.

You can try to un-mount the SD card, then remount it. If your system does not see it at all, it might not be inserted correctly.

I have since figured out some genius that's part of the team who developed Package Disabler Pro decided that the external storage apk was "bloatware". Enabling the apk again instantly restored visibly. EZ Package Disabler is a better alternative, IMO.
That's good to know! I just installed pro yesterday. I haven't had time to use it, but now I don't have to! Thanks for your input! I'll go back to EZ!
