Move App Data to Adoptable SD, How?? - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Hey there, i have a problem with my h850 LG G5!
I want to move all my app data (asphalt8,...) to my adopted SD whitch i created with ADB. But when i say Migrate Data, it stops with "not enough space" but thats wrong. How can I move it without Root? IS there any other method? Does editing the build.prop with the ro.lge.adoptable_storage thing help too?
Hope you can help me fast.
Thanks in Advance!!!

What does your Storage saying?

Hi.
I've splitted the sd in 2 parts: adoptable Storage and a part as portable storage.
I can move apps to my adoptable Storage which works, but when I move asphalt, it only moves 50mb (the apk itself) and the /data for asphalt (1,2gb) stays and chills on my fu***ng internal memory. Migrating the data would fix this, but it doesn't work. It copies the full internal sd on my adoptable Storage BUT it doesn't delete it from the internal storage with the error "not enough space", which is not true because I have 12gb left on my internal storage. Now I have duplicated 2gbs on my adoptable Storage and I can't delete those. I don't want to try it again because then 8gbs are full. I tried that 3 times and in the German forum Android-Hilfe the other guys have the same problem.
Thanks.

[Q] Applications installed on internal storage?

Hi, I'm having some issues with the internal storage of my Galaxy S II
I'll start by noting that I don't have an external SD card inserted, what I'm trying to accomplish is using the internal storage of the device.
As everyone knows, the GSII has around 11.5GB of available internal storage, and 2GB of system storage (all part of the device's 16GB total internal storage). Anyway, normally when I download an app, it's installed to that 2GB reserve, which fills up quickly. In theory, I should be able to easily move the apps from the 2GB partition, to the ~11.5GB one using the inbuilt move to SD card function under Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>*application*, but I get a "Failed to move application: not enough memory" error. I've also tried using App2SD, and have read a few guides online on this issue (with the GSII and others), to no avail.
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on to how I can move the application from the 2GB partition, to the ~11.5GB one? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Get rid of some huge apps or files (movies, audio, ...) on the internal storage.
Alternatively move them to the external SD card.

Samsung or Google in their wisdom have decided to not allow Google Play apps to be moved to the micro-SD card.

I was talking about movies/music since (at least for me) that's what eats up all the disk capacity =)
If you're rooted you can bypass the App2Sd restriction by using the app "Directory Bind"
By the way; App2SD was implemented to be able to move apps from the app-specific storage (/data/) to the internal storage (/sdcard) since the first one was far smaller. Since the S3 shares the SDcard-Storage with the app-storage capacity, it's no longer needed. Or so they thought.

Forgive me. When you wrote, "huge apps or files (movies, audio, ...) " and wrote move "them", I had incorrectly assumed you meant move "huge apps or files (movies, audio, ...) " to the SD card
if you rooted, install lucky patcher (google it), then run it. it will automatically delete unused odex file in our system.

[Q] external_sd folder And external SD card

Hi all!
I have recently brought an 16GB External SD card for my SGSII, to store my Titanium Backups. I found the external_sd folder in the internal sd card, and thought that it was the External SD card, so i placed all my backups there. But just recently it seems like i have run out of space on the phone, so i can't update some of my apps. I started deleting a lot of photos and videos from my phone and cleared 2.5GB, but i still can't update some of my apps. I began looking through my folders, and noticed that i also have an External SD card partition on my phone. The same one i see when the phone is connected to the pc. In it i can see a Clockwork Recovery folder containing my ROM backups. So i began wondering if the external_sd folder is actually located on the phone and not in the External SD card. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, when i open the Storage (i think that's what it's called) section in the settings on CM10, and noticed that i have 2 Internal Storage sections, one of them has only App data, and the other has photos, apps, music etc. and a SD Card section, with 6.64GB storage left. Does anyone know why is there is 2 Internal Storage sections?
Thank you in advance!

As far as I know the "external_sd" is your removable external SD card. For some inexplicable reason it mounts as a sub-directory from the internal SD card, but it is definitely your removable external SD card.
I have a feeling that Jellybean brings a change and the external SD card mounts in a different way to ICS. I had only a brief experience of this when I played with the leaked ROM but I have reverted to ICS because of battery drain problems.
Your internal memory is partitioned with about 500MB for the system ROM, and 2GB reserved for app installations. Once this fills to around 85-90% you'll begin hitting problems with insufficient storage space errors. If you move apps to SD then this will make use of the data partition of your internal memory (about 12GB available to user on a 16GB device).
I'm running JB (Rootbox 3.2). I set the target path as /extSdCard/Titanium Backup in Preferences for it to work.

So i should move my apps from the App reserved partition to the main storage partition? Or the external SD card? And how do i do that? Sorry for noob questions, i am not too much into how Android works
I don't think you can move apps to external SD card.
Go to settings -> applications and you'll see your apps listed with information about their size. Select one, and you should see a button "Move to SD card". If this is greyed out then the app doesn't support operation from the SD card, but for many you can press the button and it will move the app for you.
The interface in settings isn't the best - I use ZDBox which is a free utility tool available from the Play Store with several useful functions, including an improved "App to SD" UI which makes it easier to see what is going on.
Be careful with widget apps and others that interact with OS functionality as these often don't play happy if moved to SD card.
in your internal memory there is a folder call externel_sd ok leave it coz you still in your internal memory and go search your external sd card memory it named extSdCard or emmc

1st internal is /data, 2nd internal is /storage/sdcard0 (your internal 11GB memory).

[Q] Internal Storage-Internal SD card

Hello
I have a galaxy s2 and i wonder what is the difference between internal storage and internal SD card.
In the internal storage i see only apps are installed
and in the internal SD card i have only music photos and others.
it already happened to me that i tried to download an app from the google play and i did not have enough space
is there a way to move my apps from Internal storage to Internal SD card?
(i do not have an external sd card) and if you dont understand what i mean i can upload a screenshot.
thank you
Hello,
Yes, internal storage (or system storage in my phone) is where all the apps are installed.
And internal SD card (known better as internal storage) is where photos, videos etc etc are stored.
This is the only thing i know..
About the moving of apps, i recommend you go to settings -> applications and to the app you want to move and check if you actually can move it. (yes, there's an option to move that app to Sd card) My gues it wont since you need an external storage (or known as SD CARD) if you want to move apps.
If you can't install apps from google play, there are mostly two explanations:
1. Actually insufficient storage. To prevent this, free up memory from system storage by deleting apps/games etc.
2. .odex file causes the erroe. To prevent this, (you need to be rooted) goto /data/app in file manager and find <The app you want to install from google play>.odex
Eg. for second alternative.
If you want to install Swiftkey but get an error. Goto /data/app and delete swiftkey.odex

There the same thing. You can verify by checking the size of the two & the contents to see if they show the same thing.
It would be helpful to know what version of Android your running since this affects how things are displayed.
To find that information open press the menu or home button (bottom left),
Settings
at the very bottom is "About Device"
Look for Android Version
Within most versions of Android (I have 4.1.2 in front of me) what is called "sdcard" or "internal storage" or "internal sdcard" is actually a partition of the device's total internal storage. Unless you are flashing ROMs or running root, you won't see these other paritions.
The internal storage or sdcard is also called sdcard0 or /storage/sdcard0 depending on your version of Android.
The physical sdcard (external storage) is sometimes called /emmc or /extSdCard In later versions you can also get to it as /storage/sdcard1
Hope that helps

i am running android 4.0.4
and i understand that i cant move apps to there..
i will just buy an external SD card
you helped me alot
Thanks everybody!!

[Q] [YP-G70][CM11]Storage issues

Hello,
I know this may have been covered already, but I'm somewhat confused.
I have cm11 installed on my SGP5 and it runs fine. However, I'm up to my storage
limit on the internal storage (~1.5GB) even though most of my apps are on USB
storage, and USB storage still has a couple of GB available. What are my options?
I've tried to digest references to Link2SD but I wonder whether I have to format
and partition the external SD first. I have quite a bit of data on the external SD card,
so I don't want to format, if possible. I have also seen references to flipping internal
and external storage or joining both. They confuse me even more!
Is there any way to access that free 2GB of USB storage? Can I resize any of the internal partitions?
I do have experience with partitioning tools on Windows.
Thank you,

Has anyone used the app System Cleaner Root? I tried it, and it freed hundreds of MB
on my internal storage. Could someone explain exactly how it works. I did a search
on Google Play for "dalvik cache" and this app led the list!
Thanks
