I finally was able to find a safe root for Note 4 5.1.1 stock rom that wouldn't cause a boot loop , next step was to swap internal by external sd , the sd is formated exfat , i have searched and keep finding outdated tutorials with resources killed by time so please for whomever is willing to help to make sure they upload their resources along .
also i managed to download an app that would enable init.d on note 4 (hopefully) so script solution is available .
I got to understand I can not use the normal route of installing xpose and the swap memory app from google play as still till date installing xpose on note 4 would cause a boot loop , is that correct ?
I can't seem to find vold.fstab on stock kernel , so vold manipulation is unavailable too .
thanks in advance !
p.s , i have seen an older post about manipulating mounts so new apps are installed directly to sd card while still in place but with precaution that if someone copies files to internal memory directly when plugged to a computer the mobile might boot loop i may want to dodge that solution thank you
I have searched more and found a custom belt version for samsung galaxy of xpose , i installed it and installed swap internal memory by sd from app store but yet no matter what it didnt do the swap , so xpose tricks are incompatible .
p.s i never had answers in this forum , why ?

Wrong forum buddy. Can't help you much as I don't think the devices are alike..
The general process is
Root the device
Flash a custom Recovery
Make a nandroid/backup through recovery
Do a full Wipe
Flash the ROM(flashable zip)
And done..
Hello folks, I just got new SD Card 64GB because the official rom from samsung systems takes about 7GB from the internal storage [Notice: My internal storage 16GB].
So, I want to move almost all of my apps + files to the SD card (not all of them mostly the high size files).
For e.x: I've Mortal Kombat X from the play store when I move it to the SD card only the app is moved but the data stay in the internal storage Phone/Android/obb/xxxx also I tried other apps the same thing!
also I've tried moving the file by my self to SD/Android/obb/xxxx same problem and on launching the game it required an file installation (dowloading)!
My device info:
Model: GT-i9505 LTE
Android Ver: Official Samsung Lollipop 5.0.1
Internal Storage: 16GB
SD Card: 64GB
Root: NOT ROOTED Device
So, is there any solution ?
Thanks for your time guys...
You can try this. However, there is no guarantee it will work, and you assume any and all risks in trying it, including but not limited to bootloops or soft bricks. The app requires root as it needs to be able to pull data files from the /data partition, and you'll need to make a second partition on your MicroSD for the storage space. Certain features require a purchase to unlock.
I will give it a try!
I have just downloaded it from the play store but I think it required a root access!
Is there other way to move files to SD card without rooting my phone?
And what is the easiest way to root my phone
I mentioned that root was needed in my first post on this thread and why it was needed. There's no way to do what you want to do without rooting, so search for CF-AutoRoot on the forums for the easiest way to root.
Okay strephon thanks dude ☺I really appreciate that...
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
Hi there,
I finally arrived to update My Note 4 - SM-910 C - to version Marshmallow 6.0.1 , via side sync... ( as was rooted and I just unrooted it, as I wished this to be done automatically in order to keep it intact, same as before the update)
The main reason was to be able to use the sd card integrated in the system, in order to save apps there.
However, I noticed that this option is missing on my updated device under "settings"/"storage" .
Additionally, as I could observe on the tutorial vids. ( there, it is marked "storage & usb" when mine just shows "storage".
Can somebody advise a solution??
Besides, in case I wd be able to use my sd card (big one-120GB) as internal sorage; is there any possibility, do split in the way to leave a patition as "external" to leave room for additional roms and restoring back ups, so I do not have no risk to damage my back ups during different "wipes" ?
Anyway, how can I coope with that??
Thanks for your assistance & help
samsung decided not to support that feature.
you'll have to live with 32GB internal and 120GB external.
NO. !! U kiddinnnn.. .................. . . .
This was the main reason I Upgraded to 60.1
So they did change this on the latest versions..Is there any chances to get the older version allowing it?
Can you advise pls??
The best woud be to have ~+30 for internll and leave the balance ~90 as external.. (Nice dream ha? )
Thx a lot..!
Again samsung f*ck*d the note 4 user's,my Huawei devices (Only 200$) have this function.
But not my note 4 N910F(800$)
It's a shame

Hello Guys,
my phone is Karbonn Titanium s5 plus which is a MT6582 device (Rooted).
I have installed multiple custom ROMs for testing purpose. Now 2 days ago my phone rejected all custom ROMs but accepted the stock ROM and Sony Xperia V2 ROM. Now the problem is that after installation I find that the file manager is not working and DiskInfo app shows me that my external sd card is not mounted. I searched a lot about this error and was confused. my ext-sdcard is of 16gb and another app called APARTED shows out of that 11580 MB is showing fat32 fs and 4096 MB is showing ext2 fs and both of them are unmounted by the system by default.
when I connect the sd card to my PC with sdcard reader then it shows the contents and the card is absolutely OK.
So there are 2 problems :
1. I cannot install custom roms which I had installed previously in this phone via CWM or TWRP.
2. ext-sdcard not showing anymore in android file manager or any such file xplorers.
so guys any help will be appreciated !
Thanks and Regards.
