I was able to put a Samsung 64GB EVO (ExFat Formatted) into my phone and format it without a issue. The phone says nothing over 32Gb will work but it's wrong. 64Gb works perfectly.

I have a Samsung Evo 128 GB
And I use Folder Mount from the play store to move all my apps to the SD card.
And if that works well for you, then that's the way to go . I was going to pop a 128GB in for a quick test, but don't have to right now with your good post .

How long have you been using the 128GB with Folder Mount on the XT? Any problems you can share before I dive in ?

Nothing Much
Okay, so I had a memory lapse earlier. Now I recall trying Folder Mount on the XT in the past, and just as before, it's not working for me today. When I create an internal storage paired folder in external storage and an app starts writing file into the internal storage folder, both internal storage and external storage folders don't match . On another phone, this works fine as I've been using it for weeks on that phone.

I put a 128GB in yesterday and it's working well too. Now we need to find out if 200GB or 256GB will work .

another +1 on the 128gb. You may want to check Wal-Mart - they had the Samsung Evo 128gb cards marked down to $37. here.
Now if we could just move apps out to there...

Tell me more! indeed adoptable storage is blocked.
I'd like to just stay stock and be able to move most of my apps to the SD card. I dont want to root as I want PoGo and other apps to work without any workarounds.
Your ROM is tempting if it becomes available unrooted!

Hey Madvane20, I got a quick question. I just downloaded your "Rooted Swift n fast b170 ROM" thanks for that btw.
But, I flashed it for the purpose of acquiring the Adoptable Storage feature that as we know is not available on Stock Rom. So I'm on this new Room and I don't see the option to Turn my SD card into Adoptable Storage anywhere....
Was I wrong in thinking that your Room had that feature? If it does have it how and where do I find this option?
Or do I have to use the ADB partition cmd lines for Adoptable storage? If I do are there any downsides doing it that way instead of having Marshmello do it, itself?
Thanks Madvane20 u da man
link2sd might work i havent had much success in doing adoptable storage on anyrom yet. im gonna release a rom i been using myself nothing fancy its based on b170 cause b180 battery drained faster on it just finishing a few more things before i post sorry i been busy in real life that i havent had much time for stuff. but just keep look at rom part of forum
Pretty certain link2sd only uses default methods to relocate apps - basically just lets you 'move to sd card' en masse, which is useless as it is disabled. Apps2sd is a bit more useful, specifically formats your card with options to either link or bind app resources to it (accomplishes the same as more advanced users using bash/console/adb commands )
link2sd was only thing that worked for me when i was using a phone that had native apps2sd working cause it allowed u to use a sdcard that u format to include the specail partition which it can and will move apps to unless somethings changed apps2sd wouldnt work if the os itself has has option disabled to move apps to sdcard. least thats what was going on with the phone i had. the only success on that phone was link2sd. only mentioned it to help see if it would work i dont use my huawei as my daily phone so ive had no need to use any kind of adoptable storage or apps to move or install apps on a sdcard

This thread is pretty useful for root user with custom rom and have ext partition.
Hey guys, I have discovered something.
Here is a few apps that most of us have and it used a lot of storage in phone memory (ext partition) compare to moved to SD. It is better to move this few apps to SD to have more available phone memory.
Lets see how much phone memory do you save after you moved these apps to SD.
1. Adobe Reader
Phone storage used when app in phone(with ext partiton): 4mb
Phone storage used after app moved to SD: 136kb
Phone storage saved (%) after app moved the app to SD: 96%
2. Angry Birds
Phone storage used when app in phone(with ext partiton): 2MB
Phone storage used after app moved to SD: 288KB
Phone storage saved (%) after app moved the app to SD: 86%
3. Angry Birds Season
Phone storage used when app in phone(with ext partiton): 2MB
Phone storage used after app moved to SD: 252KB
Phone storage saved (%) after app moved the app to SD: 86%
4. Angry Birds Rio
Phone storage used when app in phone(with ext partiton): 2MB
Phone storage used (%) after app moved to SD: 372KB
5. CamTranslator
Phone storage used when app in phone(with ext partiton): 4MB
Phone storage used after app moved to SD: 264KB
Phone storage saved (%) after app moved the app to SD: 95%
If you have all these apps in phone, it used about 14MB phone memory.
If you moved all these apps to SD, it used about 1.06MB phone memory.
You saved about 13MB after moving these apps to SD.
If you feel I missed out something, just share it out here. Thanks!
Dont forget to press Thanks & rate it if you like my work! Please leave a comment as well!
Thanks,

Dude, dtapps2sd moves the ENTIRE app to EXT. I have no clue where you're getting this from. The whole point of it is to eliminate the need to have a single sdcard always in your phone, and save space at the same time.
And I don't think its a good idea to have the app on EXT and app-data on SDCard, doesn't feel clean.

"And I don't think its a good idea to have the app on EXT and app-data on SDCard, doesn't feel clean."
The app is moved to SD and it doesnt stay on ext anymore.

app data. settings/preferences/scores are stored in a database in your data partition. Oh and cache if you haven't done a2sd cachesd.
edit: if you want to move data also to sd, you should do
$su
$a2sd data2sd
This will stop your memory from going down and is a much better solution that moving apps to sd card manually.

Thanks guys for the above info, my next question is whats the best way to put "update.zip" file on to pnone SD card after downloading on to PC:
Is it best to:
Copy and paste file from PC to SD card with phone attached to PC using USB cable.
or
Move file to SD card using same set up as above.
or
Use a SD card adaptor fitted to PC USB and move or copy file to phone SD card fitted to adaptor.
Sorry for the above silly questions.

Sorry for last silly questions, this is what I have done so far.
Fitted cable from phone to PC USB
SD files seen ok on pc, moved "update.zip" file from PC to phone SD card and disconnected phone from PC.
Powered up phone using: volume+home+power buttons.
Used volume up/down to select .zip file pressed home to install.
Rebooted phone and checked for "superuser icon" it was there so looks like my phone is rooted.
Downloaded and installed on phone "Link2SD" and it worked ok I could open all options, but still to partition my SD card, thats my next task.
I have downloaded "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition v7.6" and installed on my PC ready to partition my SD card I have read a few posts here and other web sites to try and understand what format is best for my Phones SD card.
What is the best format to use: ext2 or ext3 ??
What is the best way to backup/reinstall apps that are on my SD card at the moment ??

1. Use ext3 for sd-ext (2nd Partition)
2. Use Titanium Backup for backup & restore system/user apps along with many other useful options as well

This is where I get a wee bit confused regarding formating you suggested ext3 but when you read the information for link2sd it says to format both partitions as FAT32 they say that ext2/ext3 may not work on all phones but FAT32 works on all, have I read this correctly ?
I downloaded "Titanium app" free edition and installed on my phone it runs fine after install but can you use this app to backup apps thats on the SD card to PC ?
At the moment I can't see an option to do this, have I missed somthing?

1. Detecting ext3/4 depends on your kernel. But even if you are on stock 5830i firmware & kernel, link2sd will detect sd-ext even if it is ext2 format. If you are on Rafael Kernel, you can format sd-ext on ext3 or ext4. I recommended ext3, coz most people do that, and so far ext3 is reported to perform best without stressing much life out of your SD Card. I haven't ever tried formating sd-ext in fat32 or heard of someone doing that. So can't say if Fat32 is better than the ext file system or the other way around
2. You'll have to manually copy the backup you made in the "sdcard/titaniumbackup" folder in your SD card to Your PC. Whenever you want to restore that backup, simply put it back in same directory in SD card and run titanium restore process

I have stock kernel, well its never been changed since I purchased the phone, the info on my phone tells me its Kernel version 2.6.35.7 dpl[email protected] #1. I will use as you sugested ext3.
I will follow yor instructions as regards backup method.
The phone I have has the original SD card (2gb) I have now purchased a new SD card (16gb) so I plan is to start backup of original SD and partition the new SD and start moving apps and hope all goes well.
Will post here as soon as I have completed or for further help, I hope all goes to plan lol.

You are welcome and good luck with ur plans ... One little correction in your post. As i explained earlier that default kernel will only recognize ext2. so format sd-ext in ext2 format to get it detected in link2sd on default firmware. ext3/ext4 is only detectable in custom kernel

Must have misunderstood, I shall use ext2 to format sd-ext.
I may not bother just now doing a backup of old 2gb SD card because the apps I have on there I can re-download when I have set up the new card so I may just delete these apps to get them of the system and start fresh, there not important apps anyway.
Sorry but I meant to ask what would be the best sizes for each partition when I format the 16gb SD card ?
Let me know what you think.

Presuming that you've managed to root and everything else ran smoothly, if you're still looking to remove some of that bloatware permanently, you can install es explorer and do that.

No problems except may b eventually low space issue on ur primary partition. Because sd-ext will not ever take 4gb space i guess so extra storage space may be wasted

Yes saeed14i Understand what your saying but having 10gb or so on first partition will be ok in my situation as I will only be using for pictures etc and I am one of these guys that uploads pics to PC and does a clean up on a regular basis.
So this is how it stands now, Backed up my apps on the old SD card using "Wondershare MobileGo for Android" ready to reinstall on to 2nd partition of new SD card, formated and created partitions on new SD card using "MiniTool Partition Wizard home edition", I then used "Link2sd" to link apps that were on internal storage, reinstalled backed up apps using "Wondershare" they went straight to internal storage but linked to 2nd partition with no problems.
Note/ I did not link any system apps.
Was a bit confused at first when trying to link apps to 2nd partition as when you open an app in Link2sd it shows a window with info of app and some buttons and I thought you had to use the "move to SD card" but I realised you only use the "create link button", silly me.
As I said above I used "Wondershare MobileGo for Android" to do backup and found it worked well I liked the fact that you dont require your USB cable to attach your phone to PC you can use WiFi and that is what I used and it worked great.
Phone Internal storage before starting was 3.5mb free
After doing all of the above my internal storage is now 118mb free (well worth doing)
I will try and post some pictures at a later date once I get them sortd out.
The whole process of rooting, creating 2nd partition, backing up apps and linking apps to 2nd partition has went well, a big thanks to you saeed14i and other members who posted on this thread. I was very aprehensive before I satarted but being on xda has helped a lot.

Yes saeed14i Understand what your saying but having 10gb or so on first partition will be ok in my situation as I will only be using for pictures etc and I am one of these guys that uploads pics to PC and does a clean up on a regular basis.
So this is how it stands now, Backed up my apps on the old SD card using "Wondershare MobileGo for Android" ready to reinstall on to 2nd partition of new SD card, formated and created partitions on new SD card using "MiniTool Partition Wizard home edition", I then used "Link2sd" to link apps that were on internal storage, reinstalled backed up apps using "Wondershare" they went straight to internal storage but linked to 2nd partition with no problems.
Note/ I did not link any system apps.
Was a bit confused at first when trying to link apps to 2nd partition as when you open an app in Link2sd it shows a window with info of app and some buttons and I thought you had to use the "move to SD card" but I realised you only use the "create link button", silly me.
As I said above I used "Wondershare MobileGo for Android" to do backup and found it worked well I liked the fact that you dont require your USB cable to attach your phone to PC you can use WiFi and that is what I used and it worked great.
Phone Internal storage before starting was 3.5mb free
After doing all of the above my internal storage is now 118mb free (well worth doing)
I will try and post some pictures at a later date once I get them sortd out.

However, even if you install link2sd
Some memory is consumed in internal storage
Whatever you do, you can't help it

With link2sd, U can uninstall useless system apps eg office viewer native email client etc to free internal storage. Complete list is provided by shankay in a. Seperate thread.u can also free space from data partion by moving apps like Facebook etc to SD card. And don't forget to clean app cache regularly

Hi all!
Since the 2GB microSD card sold with the device (an xperia mini pro) is becoming too "small" i have decided to buy a new microSD card (a 16GB model).
The question is ... how do i tranfer all the data from the previous microSD card to the new without messing things up?
I have already red somewhere that it suffice to copy/paste using a windows PC. Ok. I got that. But when am i supposed to pull out the old microSD card? While the phone is running (although it sound really bad to me)? After turning off the phone? Or is there some kind of "safetly remove"?
Thanks in advance
Yes you can do but unmount after go to settings > storage > unmount SDcard then swap SDcard and repeat again (providing you are on ICS

Thanks for your answer.
Actually i am runing android 2.3
What about doing like this:
1) turn off the phone
2) pull out the old 2GB microSD card
3) copy/paste all the content to the new 16GB microSD card
4) insert the new 16GB microSD in the phone
5) turn on the phone
Would this be a good way to go?
You can do, enable mass storage on device for faster transfers too

1. enable hidden files/folders in pc
2. copy all files/folders from sd card to pc (i created "Sd card backup" folder)
3. turn off phone remove sd card
4. put new sd card in phone
5. power on the phone

Thanks. Now i am running android 2.3 so that mtp option is in a different path ... i just need to find it out ... anyone still running 2.3 can tell please?
Ok. I found the correct pathway for android 2.3.4 : settings -->Sony Ericcson--> Connectivity --> Mod. Conness. USB --> MSC
So the entire process should follow these steps:
1. enable hidden files/folders in pc.
2. chage the setting "mtp" to "mass storage" in the phone.
3. connect the phone to the PC.
4. copy all files/folders from sd card to pc (i created "Sd card backup" folder in the PC)
5. disconnect the phone from the PC.
6. turn off phone.
7. remove the old microSD card from the phone.
8. put new sd card in phone
9. power on the phone
10. format new sd card with phone
11. copy back all data/folder from pc to sd card
About step 5 ... I guess that the "Mass Storage Mode "(MSM) let the xperia mini pro behave like a "normal" USB stick, right? If so, i am supposed to you remove the phone from the PC through the "Safely Remove Hardware" option of Windows (the little icon in the right-bottom corner of the desktop)?

It doesn't make sense for me.
The only cause to swap data to sd is that games are bigger than the internal SD. But this does the other vold.fstab you can find here, too.
So why to use this one?
Sent from my GT-I8160 using xda premium
Because using the one included in Italian Job the "Move to SD" option doesn't move to the real sd, apps are still going to the virtual sd card of the phone.
Try moving some apps to the sd card and you'll see the available space of the virtual sd card go lower. This means that when we get to 1.2 Gb of apps we get an error message saying that there is not enough space even thou the real sd card may have plenty of space. I'm talking about the apks, not the data from games, data from games goes to the correct place.
The vold.fstab included here solved this problem for me, apps are now going to the real sdcard.
For what use this? Good ,big games have .obb file and this go to sd card
I have ace 2 one year and I never use all space for apk. Allways is free something like 600-700mb. Old moded vold.fstab is ok. Better do (if possible)
On stock vold.fstab (1.1/1.1/ext.sd card) I want to instal games directly on external sd card. Some games have that options but not all.

Well, I can tell you that many games/aplications apks occupy more than 100Mb (Anomaly Korea for example) and that every game/aplication I've installed had the option to move to sd (talking about going to Application Management and selecting the move to sd option after the game is installed). if you dont move them to the sd card and install a few big games, you will run out of space fast, I know I did...
Also I believe this is how the move to sd SHOULD behave, moving stuff to sd, dont you?

Look at available space in your 1st screenshot, now install a few more games with big apks. I can suggest Plants vs Zombies and The Room, you probably wont have enough space for both and will need to move something to the sd card to install them both.
Big games don't necessarily use a lot of phone space, some put most of the info on the sd card in the obb folder, but some don't, usually the data downloaded when you start the game is put in the sd card, and the data downloaded from the play store is left on the phone.
Regardless none of this invalidates that an option that is supposed to move stuff to sd card wasn't doing what it was supposed to do.

Ok, agree. If you want 500 apps installed the internal app storage is too small (i never get it filled up... )
But if this happens, I still have the 1gb internal sd to move them...

Hello,i buyed today Xiaomi Mi A3.I put my old Sanddisk micro sd card 128 gb from my xiaomi mi a1 to my new one and new one doesn't detect card.I move back to mi A1 and working.Can someone suggested what can be the problem?

You tried to activate the sd in the settings menue of the A3 and there was none recognized. Right?
Did you use th sd card as an external (mobile) memory or as internal memory in the A1? If it was used internal, to put apps on it and not just data, it can't be used in a different device.
Yes,i look in storage option and there is no Sd card.I used as external card on mi a1.I tryed with my brothers phone mi A2 lite and also his phone detect sd card.I only Don't have another micro sd to try in my a3.

Is the sd card formated as adoptable storage for your mi a1 by any chance?
Install this app and insert/remove the card a few times to see if it's detected by system at all.

If it's happening with other SD cards as well, then you might have defective phone. Also try inserting smaller cards, I used to have issues with 128gb card in Mi A1, 64gb was working fine.

When you insert the new SD card into an Android device it will ask you if you want to use it as external storage or as part of the phone. I guess in your mi a1 you selected the second option and Android formatted it to use only with that phone. It will not work on other phones and by now I do not know any option to undo this...
Hope it helps
I will buy today card reader and format micro sd.Because I need to transfer some files from card before formating.

Even if he did this, new phone should detect the card and notify that it can't read the card and offer a format option. There isn't any magic behind using SD card as internal storage, just a different file system (ext4) and encryption. If he can read the card and files in another phone, it means that it has standard file system without encryption.

Your only chance for recovery of encrypted files is to use phone which encrypted the card. What is wrong with A1 phone?

Sounds like you had a defective card and it finally gave up. The good thing is that you can apply for a lifetime/10 year warranty. All my Sandisk cards which went wrong locked up themselves in read only mode - I could read all the files, but couldn't delete them or format the card. I had to physically destroy them and buy new cards instead.
Btw. you obviously know this already, but always make external backup of important files. I use daily sync with Google drive of all photos/videos/etc. and also automatic backup of photos and videos in "free quality" to Google photos. Google drive gets synced to a PC as well, so unless I get extremely unfortunate, I always have at least 2 copies in different locations available.
Where i can apply for warranty?On their website or where did i buy card?
I know about backup,i always set but last few days i didn't backup some photos and documents.
Thanks a lot for help.

Try the website of Sandisk, there you'll find which service center to contact and how to proceed, each country has slightly different procedure for RMA.
