My internal storage is full and I need more space. I'm wonder what would happen if I was to move things like apps to my external and then delete them on my internal? Anyone have any ideas on how to get more space without borking something up?

How many apps do you have installed??
Go into settings, Apps.
Click on each app. If the feature is natively avaiable, there will be an option to move to SD Card. Click that.
Otherwise, you can use third party apps like App2SD to move apps to SD Card.
I am actually attempting to nix the INTERNAL memory and dedicate it all to /data for application installs and data storage, and just make my 32GB MicroSD the alternate storage (and actually mounted as /sdcard, seriously, that annoys the ever living piss outta me)... Sadly, its only been done on the International GNote, and the setup seems worlds apart when trying to accomplish it on my AT&T GNote...
Anywho, If I manage to get it working, ill let ya know (if the other certifiably viable options aren't to your liking)
Cheers
Thanks a bunch hammer...I did what you said and it gave me a lot more room, but not enough for now.
Sorry I meant to thank Eugene Hammer, if you do get that working please let me know because to me that would be worth paying for.
Does every Cyanogenmod rom allow that by default, or dit it die with version 11 or 12 being the last one?
If installing directly to SD is a no go, what good apps are there that do the transfer (and keep everything working, of course
I would recommend Link2SD.
I have used it with satisfaction on several low memory devices.
Not sure why, I find Link2SD and its options terribly confusing Well, I guess I'll need to learn.
There are a lot of guides and it's not so complex.
The best way to use it is to create a second partition on sd (consider a backup of your data on pc/otg/cloud/...).
As far as I can remember link2sd will ask you the filesystem type and then it will create some script to use it.
Then you can simply tap on an app from the list and press "link to sd".
From the apps list you can do a lot of operation like convert apps to system/user app, freeze/unfreeze, merge an updated app to rom etc. and using the filter this kind of operation will be very easy and fast.
EDIT:
On the plus (paid) version you can link also data.
If you really want to maximize the free space on the device, this option is worth the few moneys.
EDIT2:
I've always used it on other devices using AOSP based roms, I don't know if there are problems using it with MIUI.
Thanks a lot! So, if you "link" (strange choice of word, it's not actually linking if it gets completely moved to SD and nothing remaing in main storage is it, that's what confused the hell out of me), app and its data to SD, will it be exactly like it was downloaded and installed on SD right from the store, like it used to be on Android versions that supported such thing? I know Cyanogenmod 11 did that perfectly, wonder if it's CM thing by default, or did they moved to new (stupid) concept of raping the main storage in later versions
EDIT: Any chance of "linking" bloody Whatsapp to SD completely? I'm in continuous maintenance mode of my wife phone because that **** consumes the storage for all it's worth.

Linking is not the same as moving.
For example, if you move to sd and then remove the sd from the device, widgets and app icons will be removed.
Maybe they will be restored when you insert your sd again, but the order could not be the same.
The same doesn't happen linking.
There are also other benefits, try googling for "link2sd faq".

I'm not using whatsapp so I don't know if it works.
I guess that your are talking about the "whatapp" directory on which msgs and media are store.
If link2sd can't solve your problem, I think that can try to move the whatsapp directory to sd and then manually create a link (keep the original name) on the original position.
Or you can try with apps like foldermount
EDIT:
try looking at this thread
Maybe your can try xposed app..xinternalsd..swap sdcard to be phone memory
I'll put the link the the vid I followed (but only get halfway through whole process) and think I've missed something but not sure what. The guy appears to have good luck with his method, but I didn't. I cannot get the screen with the "box"
Here are the two messages I get after last step and reboot:
1. Nook encountered a problem that requires a system restart (I click "ok")
2. Then after I click "ok" I get this message:
Your Nook could not restart. Please Try again later. Or contact Customer Support.
The only part of the video I've found that I did on my own is that he doesn't tell you to plug the power cord into an outlet but it seems logical. Unless for some weird reason I'm supposed to plug it back into the usb on my laptop.
Any help very, much appreciated, denise

Ok, looks like that works, new to this site, or at least posting to it If you know anything about the rooting I could sure use some help. I have it all finished but, for example, I'm having issues with many of the apps on playstore not being available to me. I get the "this app is not compatible with version". Something like that. I have been reading about possible fixes but one is something called Cyanogenmod, and I can't get the app in the store. It's supposed to do some sort of fix. Then I tried a took called BuildProp Editor but when I go into my build.prop file it doesn't list one of the strings I'm supposed to change (product Model).
With the buildprop editor, you change the "model" to something the app would be compatible with. Samsung to Nexus etc. Anyway, I hope you can see the video if you either need to root something, or, you want to comment/give me some feedback

OK, so from what I can see in the video you end up with a rooted Nook Tablet, an old version of the Market, and a new launcher (maybe a few other things I didn't notice). The problem is that you now have a rooted android tablet that is running Android 2.3(?). And so what was the point? Eventually the old version of the Market won't even let you in and even if it did, your selection for apps is limited with the current Android version now being 7.0
So....you did this much and that means you can do the little more needed to not only root your tablet but also to install a new ROM that can update it to a more recent Android system. I'm no expert, but I have been around the block a few times with this device. You can "easily" flash either Cyanogenmod 10, 11 or 12 (Android Jellybean, KitKat, or Lollipop). I started with 10 and was happy with that for a long time until I got curious about a more up-to-date system. I skipped over 11 and went straight to 12.1. I'm more or less satisfied but I think 12 is pushing the limits of the hardware. It's a little wobbly sometimes.
If I were you, I'd pick the last stable version of CM 11. The absolute best guides on XDA for flashing these ROMs on the Nook Tablet were written by digixmax. The one for CM 10 is here. The one for CM 11 (and sort of 12) is here.
Read carefully and take your time. The result is well worth the effort, IMHO. A rooted tablet with the hardware capabilities of the NT running Android 2.3 is not.

Yes, 2.3 Gingerbread. I get things done but I don't understand half of what I do. Thanks so much for the explanation. The more I searched for info, the more I kept see Cyanogenmod so figured that was going to help in some way.
Ok, do I reset the NT again, or just go from where I am at this point?
I don't know if I'm even supposed to be on this forum since I read that it is for "developers". I wouldn't have gotten the info you just gave me anywhere else that I know of though. Hope it's ok for me to stay and learn.
I'll go with the 11 because I understand that the NT is older (bought it in 2011) so no, I don't want to push my luck with it either. I have a new Fire Tablet 7, yuck, but I did get the Playstore on it at least. It works fine, I just like the whole feel of my Nook (payed a lot more for it of course).
Thanks again, and I'll post here on my progress, or lack thereof denise

Ok, will do I am bummed as I have to do some errands, but can't wait to get back and go for this. Already downloaded the Mini Partition Tool, totally new to me, partitions but I do love to learn, ttyl, and thank you so much, again!
Just a bit of an update for anyone interested I got through this part of the instructions from digixmax:
Using a disk partition tool (such as MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition) create on SD card a Primary FAT32 partition, and set the partition ID type for the partition to 0x0C FAT32 LBA and set its Active flag. Once this is done, the partition should appear as a (read/write accessible) drive under Windows
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But at the end, I went in to look for the Drive and it said "Boot E" because that's where I had my SD Card. I couldn't find anywhere it said read/write accessible though? I figure I was looking in the wrong place as the directions says "under Windows" so I even looked to see if something was listed under my Windows file in File Manager.
Anyway, kind of toast right now, I'm tired and going to try again in the a.m. The making of the Partition in the Minitool didn't seem hard at all, if I did that right.
Thanks again for the help, I'll check back tonight for any replies, and then again in the a.m. denise

On my Win 10 machine the "properties" option from the context menu doesn't say anything about r/w for the SD card, but it does show the space used and the space available. I think you're good to go if that's what you are seeing. You can't have done all the manipulations in Mini Partition Wizard and not had write access to the card, so it's not like it's locked or something odd.
Onward!

Ok, spent all morning trying to figure this out myself, and gave up and decided to come back here and ask what to do.
For some reason, I cannot find my unallocated space, it's not showing like the first time I ran through #1 step to "create on SD Card a FAT32 partition, etc. I did reformat the SD Card so that it was a fresh start. I did something wrong, but I can't figure out.
I read that on the MiniTool Wizard "create" is not enabled unless I have unallocated space, so that's my issue. I cannot get that "create" option enabled. I'll attach a snip of what I see at this point. Maybe that will help. I do select the Disk 2 and look down under the "partition" menu and "create" is greyed out. Then I also tried right clicking on the Disk 2 to see if it would show there but it still is disabled (please see attached please) Any help so appreciated, denise:

Been awhile since I did this, but if you reformat an SD card that has separate partitions (as yours appears to), you will not get back all your space. What I'm saying is that there should not be two separate memory entities on that SD card at this point. The section marked by the "*" needs to be merged with the section called "Boot". That large chunk is needed to hold all the files you will use to flash the new ROM.
If you right-click on either partition near the top of the display where it shows the two sections, the context menu contains a "merge" option. Bottom line is, you need one partition on the SD card and right now the bulk of the storage space is locked up.

Ok, I'll do that, saw the merge option. So hopefully, this will bring back unallocated space then. I should have asked how much I need. The SD card is 8 GB, probably don't need more than a couple at the most I'm thinking. I'll go give your direction a shot, thanks much for hanging in there with me, denise
OK, you need to take a breath and stop. I've just come away from another thread in which the poster decried the disappearance of all the Cyanogenmod stuff. I knew they had died but I didn't realize everything would disappear so fast...
That means you need to source the most critical component from somewhere. One option is a new post on this board for the critical files. There is also a fellow who was developing his own related ROMs, both internal and SD card versions. I'll search for that and add it to this post in a bit.

Good video, now if i could only find the files. Nothing but dead links everywhere.
Hello all i have the tab s6 that i got primarily for photo editing using lightroom. Unfortunately it seems i cant access any form of external storage through lightroom in order to view pictures and then import them into lightroom to edit them. It seems that I first have to transfer the pictures into the internal storage of the tab, in my case 256gb, and only then i can see the pictures in lightroom prior to importing them. By doing this i would essentially end up with duplicate photos and then reducing the storage even further.
The only way i can access the external storage is via the files manager app installed. Is there any work around this? In ios i can see the pictures from the external storage through lightroom prior to import.
What Android version? Scoped storage is fully active in Android 11/12 and it's a mess.
Unless the app has special permissions like that file app, scoped storage will puke on them and limit their access. You may be able to do a adb edit work around, not sure as I refuse to deal with these OS versions.
Maybe try using a OTG flashstick as a work around.
Running Android 11 and no new update available. And lightroom app permission under files and media it says “allow access to media only” dont see other options
Any app that allows full access to external drives where i can see the full size picture thats stored?

Lightroom developers need to modify it for it to work most likely. Not a trivial task.
Do some searches to see if you can modify this behavior with adb edits. Yeah, now even bloody iPhones are easier to use than Androids, thanks for nothing Gookill...
I would just download the whole file copy onto the PC. You need to back it up anyway...
Last thing i want is too root the tab and gave things go wrong. Havent rooted an Android device in years and always more of a hassle than what improvements where promised

I prefer using stock. Adb editing is just modifying the user partition, a factory reset will undo the changes if you goof up.
If it came loaded with 11 you can't flash it back to 10 because of the boot loader version.
Try some Google searches ie something like "scoped storage workaround adb". Add xda to it to find threads about it here. Maybe Package Disabler could help but I doubt it as scoped store is a core feature.
There's a lot of pissed off Android users right about now... you're not alone.
Share your wuv and give Google some feedback.
I have to N10+'s, one is running on Pie, the newest on Q. Both behave almost identically, however Samsung added dozens of small system apks to do that... Samsung went to a lot of trouble to do that.
You confirmed my fear Samsung couldn't or wouldn't be able to do the same with the models running on R and above.
The culprit is Google not Samsung.
It's the game that moves as you play it.
Something so simple that they are alienating photographers and are forcing them into ios, maybe I should have gotten an ipad pro

There are work arounds but you shouldn't need to do this. At this point Android is more iPhone than Android... a tard wannabe iPhone that is.
Return if you still can.
If you get a Samsung running on P or Q it will function normally and still have sufficient security.
Be wary of buying devices as they may list P or Q as the loaded OS when in fact they've been updated or factory loaded (depending on manufacturered date) with R.
Tried to look into the scoped storage but seems to be too much of a hassle and not really working possibly depending on what you need. There doesnt seem to be a definitive answer to my particular issue in regards to having lightroom (adobe) have access to external storage. I might just have to bite the bullet and get a 1tb microsd card although thats a huge expense.
On another note, Adobe should make it a requirement to have access to external storage, its possible in IOS and windows and tell google to allow it.
Test a small sd card first to make sure it works as you want with scoped storage.
Get a V30 rated card, Sandisk Extreme works well.

Thanks but not really what i am looking for. Will test out and old microsd card i have from an old android phone and see how that goes
So some positive news to report. Tried an old microsd card. As expected it automatically displays the photos in the photo app just like the built in storage. So tried to copy a picture that i had backed up in the external ssd, did this via the file manager app. Then the moment of truth, opened up Lightroom and i have access to the additional microsd card, the picture that i copied from the ssd along with all the other old photos showed up in lightroom. So, as much of an inconvenience this is, it seems that for my needs and workflow, i would need the extra microsd card.
So here would be my work flow after taking pictures
1-Backup all the pictures taken on a certain date into the Samsung T5 SSD.
2-Also copy all of the pictures into the extra microsd card (1tb)
3-Go through all the pictures on the microsd card using lightroom to decide which ones to edit and then import them into lightroom.
4-Do all my edits then save those edits into the built in storage, upload to Facebook, instagram, etc. then save those final edits into the Samsung T5 SSD.
5-Format the 1tb microsd and repeat the whole process when needed.
Extra steps but it seems this is the only way. Thanks Google
EDIT: after thinking about it I think a 512gb would be more than enough for my expected workdlow and would be a significant savings vs the 1tb
Yay This will be a better setup than you had.
I always build dual drive PCs; the OS, apps, DCIM folder and the temporary download folder go on internal memory.
All critical data goes on the data drive. This is then backed up redundantly to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.
Do Not use DCIM in the name of photo folder on the SD card; there can only be one folder with that name.
I'm having the same problem with this scoop storage issue that Google has handed us My 1tb card is full of music that I can't access it worked fine on my Note 8 but it doesn't work hardly at all on my new Note 10 I can't even get a playlist to function right people have talked about editing Android manifest in Android studio Man that's so far above my ability but I wouldn't just format my card I know I bought the best one I could buy and I still have the problem and I've had my card for some time I hope someone comes up with a solution

Scoped storage is a mess. Back up the 1tb card's data at least twice on 2 different hdds, more backup is always better.
Or use a different SD card in the device.
With the test SD card format the card with the device (all data will be lost, etc, etc), then doing the data transfer through the phone load the data. See if that works.
Regardless it's best practice to leave the SD card in one device and not "share" it with other devices. Having other devices write to it can lead to card corruption.
Don't know if this will help or not. I'm still running on Android 9 and 10. Gookill sucks elephant balls bad now... no way I'll upgrade my N10+'s to 11 or 12, they're running too good as is.
Thank you for getting back with me I have a real hard time keep you track of stuff nowadays but I don't need the aggravation of this scoop storage stuff as it is I have to pay someone to root my phones anymore because I just can't do it.
I used to be fairly good at it but not anymore so dr.ketan is promising updates in April and unless the issue is addressed by him I'm going to go ahead and downgrade my Note 10 Plus to Android 9 or 10 wherever that point is I can avoid all this crap
I think I read on one of the posts that they didn't really see any speed difference between 9 and 12
I think 9 was what was on my phone when I bought it in December.
And it was my phone guy that brought it up to 12 and put on dr.ketan's ROM. But I am so used to backing up stuff to SD card that it's driving me nuts. And isn't that the idea of TWRP anyway to be able to back up to your SD card and restore if you screw things up? Anyway thank you again for getting back with me and if you hear of any news about a fix or patch that someone like me could put on to fix it other than having to have the skills of a developer let me know I appreciate it I'd even be willing to be a beta tester.
Take care Rick
