[Q] SD Card Paritionining - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Planning to buy a new Micro SD card (32gb or 64gb class 10) and I'm planning to make a patition to save internal storage
I have done some research regarding parititioning here and on other sites but I still got some un-answered questions:
1.) After partitioning a new SDcard, I'm planning to just copy all the files/apps from my first (unpartitioned) 4gbCard into the new Card. Is it okay? Will the phone recognize the apps/files/data apps I have pasted on the new (paritioned) SD card?
2.) Since I already moved some of my apps to my SD card, can I can also move the app data that was left from internal storage to the new partitioned SD? (to really free up internal storage)
3) Will partitioning be really important on my Device? (Sensation XE, Viper 1.5.2, Fax Kernel)
4) what class of SD card is recommended for partitioning?
5) how much space for the sd-ext?
thanks in advance guys! Merry Christmas!! :laugh:

[Q] Internal SD, External SD and app2SD questions

I seem to have trouble grasping the concept of Internal and external SD memory.
I purchased a 16GB microSD card with the hopes that I can move most of my apps to that card but when I use app2sd I always get the "Failed to move application, not enough memory" error.
When I check the free space it shows more than 13GB on both the internal memory and also on the microSD card.
Since my gtablet has 16GB of "internal" storage already, what's microSD card good for?
Shouldn't I be able to move apps to either internal or external SD storage or am I just not understanding how this all works?
Can someone explain to me in Layman's terms what I need to do?
Thanks !!
PS: I just now accidentally reformatted my internal SD card so I will have to start from scratch anyways ;-)

From what I understand, app2sd functionality is built into Froyo & beyond. No need for a separate app.
In laymans terms, your 16GB internal sd is split in 2, 2GB for apps & 14 gb for data.I have 88 apps installed & it is only using 492MB of the 2GB. Apps install to the 2GB area, but the (and the system) use the 14 GB data area for storage. You can also use this space for dat/files storage as well.
The external microsd slot is generally used by you for data storage. You can use it for what ever you like. I use mine to store copies of different roms/nvflash, movies/video/pictures & music transferred from the PC.

[Q] Internal SD v. External SD What to put

Hi
I bought an android tablet which has around 12GB available internal storage and a 16GB class 4 micro-sd card.
I'm planning to install apps and put some music/video/map data into my tablet.
How would you suggest me to arrange the space?
All apps to internal-sd and others to external-sd?
How about gps map data internal or external?
Best regards
If I were you, I'd just put all the music and video on the external and everything else on the inside.
ok, thanks a lot

[Q] Android file system with SD vs no SD

I'm coming from a phone with very low internal memory to one with 16GB. My question is around all the app data and where it would go in a phone with 16gb internal memory and not SD card.
Reason I ask is I would love to have all my apps stored internally and use my SD card mostly for music/pics..
Would this work or will apps put data in the SD if one is present.
another question would be what would happen if I have no SD card for a while, then I introduce the SD card..
All the data would be kept on the internal storage, which would be seen as a internal memory stick. If you put a microSD card in then it will store some data on the SD card but you could move it back by going to settings>applications>manage applications>on sd card

[Q] How can i use Internal Storage?

I am really in trouble!
I've just bought Samsung Galaxy S4 Korean made. In the storage option there are two general tabs:-
1- is about Sd card storage which is only 17.8 MB and
2- is about Internal Storage 16GB. So my question is that how can i use internal storage of 16GB as SD card data.
Another problem with my device is that whenever i wanted to put ext sd card (microsd card) it does not show any thing like preparing sd card nothing....
Please Solve my this problem i shall be very thankful to you!

Using SD card as Internal Storage?

In CM13, I have the ability to use my SanDisk ultra class 10 16 gb as Internal Storage! Here are my concerns:
1. What are the drawbacks of doing that?
2. Will the apps function smoothly? [that is why I told you the card i'm using]
3. What storage will my computer detect and how much will bbe available to use for me?
4. What are the problems I can face when using TWRP?
5. If I end up doing a clean flash, will the files placed in the internal storage [sd card formatted] be wiped when formatting internal storage as we usually do in TWRP?
THANKS IN ADVANCE
the drawback is that probably you cant then use that sd card as external storage again
