rooting and adopting sd card storage question - Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers

ok after i posted to find a reason i could not root. i found a way to do it and su says it is rooted and titanium says it is rooted. and when i look at the applications i see only one section not the internal and sd card etc. so the sd card finally did it. but not by the way that was posted here that i found. it was in the top and i swiped down and a notice said to use a internal storage and i said yes and away we go. thanks

I have mod 1.3 and I want to move apps form the interanl storage to the sd card, but it says not mounted. I can see it under file manager so i know the sd card is there. is there a way i can move the files.

Unfortunately, you can't. This topic has been covered ad nauseam in the developer thread. Essentially, Elocity has messed up the SD card mount points, and the OS can't find the proper locations to move the apps. We're all still waiting for a fix.

My apps are on external SD card except those that cannot be moved. I have posted information on how to do this in this general section.

Having issues with apps on sd card

This is the 2nd time this week this has happened. Turned my phone on this morning, shows preparing sd card but yet none of the apps I have moved to the sd card will work. They don't show on the app drawer either. The first time it happened I figured it was a fluke so I copied everything from the sd card I was using to another card, and same thing...apps don't show.
So then I reformat the card, reflash the stock image and everything was fine until today. Wtf could be causing this? I am able to access the card thru root explorer no problem. Running rooted stock rom

Just a quick question but have you used up the internal memory in order to move them to the SD card? Apps run slower from the SD card then they do from the phone. I have tons of apps but coming nowhere remotely close to have to move them to the SD card.

nope i always just moved any app that could be moved to the sd card. i swapped out the sd card and wiped the phone, so we'll see how this goes. thanks for replying

Ok i finally updated..

I gave up on trying to update from my rooted .57 so here i am...
I flashed back to the factory settings and now am updating all the way to .83 unrooted.
I am now on a clean slate on .83 with no root and none of my apps or anything.
I do not have a SD card just the internal memory.
Can i still root it without one now? or do i need to go buy a sd card to get it done? last time i used gladroot without one but i dont see an update for .83 thanks alot anyone for helping.
I did the same thing and installed GingerBreak to root my atrix. It does require an SD card though and it may format it too so back up anything important you have on there.

Thanks for the response. Did you have a SD card that you put in? or just the memory on the phone itself? Because i havnt bought one yet for my atrix. Let me know when ya can. If you did it without one? how can i do it? thanks
The instructions say to have an SD card and it will format any data on the SD card. I had an extra blank one laying around so i just stuck that in there during the root process.
will this affect the internal SD card? I want to update to 8.3 and keep root, if i cant then i'll flash sbf. I have spare SD card but also have loads of files on internal that i dont want to format
You can always copy your files from internal to an SD card or to your computer.

Moved apps to SD Card, didn't free up space!

My NC was complaining that it was getting low on space. Lo and behold, the internal 1 GB partition was about full. I used Titanium Backup to move most of the apps to the SD card (100 apps). The NC thinks the apps are on the SD card (and I'm assuming they're actually there), but it didn't free up ANY space on the internal partition. It's like it moved the apps, but didn't delete the old files. Does anybody have any idea how I can actually free up this space? I can't move the files back from the SD card, because it says there's no room.

When you go to the apps in settings does it still have the move to SD option?

No, it's got "Move to phone". It seems to have actually moved them, but doesn't seem to have removed the original files from the internal space. I've got Root Explorer, any idea where the original files would have been installed, so I can check if they're still there?
Was playing around with Root Explorer, and it seems all the files were in /data/app in the main memory, not on the SD card. I was able to delete from there, and free up space, but now the apps won't run (since they're obviously gone). Apparently it didn't actually move them to SD card, though the system thought it did. Didn't delete TB, so I can replace the apps, but I've got to find some way of actually moving them to the SD card, or making the nook partition bigger.
What happens when you use "move to SD" from the "manage apps" application?
Rather than mess around moving Apps to SD I'd recommend the repartition option. Moving to SD was necessary with phones which were tight on internal memory but that doesn't apply to the Nook. Also it is always difficult to choose which Apps to move because they will stop working temporarily if you USB mount the SD card.
The normal 1GB data partition can get tight with a lot of apps installed. The Nook has plenty of internal memory so I repartitioned to 2GB data which gives a generous area for apps and 4GB for some basic media (pictures, music, video) and leaves the SD card free primarily for extra media, backups etc.
Following gives a guide to repartitioning. Make sure you have apps backed up before doing this.

That appears to actually move them. Not sure why titanium backup isn't. Managed to free up some space this way, but I think I'm going to repartition it, rather than have to shuffle stuff around to make room.
Can you simply just go to the applications setting and select move to sd card or does this cause problems? I did the veryGreen install of CM7 and also installed gapp but have not pulled my card back out or repartitioned it or anything since doing that. I have a 16GB card and want to get full use out of it but I like my apps and download a lot. Thanks.

Application storage problem

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
