Hi,
I tried to format the sd card as an internal storage, though I'm willing to sacrifice this sd card as permanently internal storage. 32gb is kinda not enough since I'm intended to use onedrive as offline usage (onedrive only save in internal storage in android).
I tried the ADB style, it is not working either. Do you guys have other method or proven ways to format sd card as internal., for this tab s3 especially.

For some inexplicable reason, Samsung disables "Adoptable Storage" on their devices; a system file (sm.jar, i believe) must be patched to enable it. This thread may help, but I would proceed extreme caution as it appears this patch is specific to Marshmallow:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3507387
went to the link, it was made for Tab A with marshmallow, so far, I couldn't a way to do it for tab s3 with nougat.
Edit: nevermind.

It isn't made for the Tab A, it's universal as stated in the thread.
It may still work with nougat, I've had a couple of reports of success.

This most definitely does work with this device. I literally just installed it and it is working on a 64GB Sandisk Extreme Plux. It did boot loop once but afterwards recovered stock ROM due to encryption issues, tried another method (because the patch modifies the system and therefore triggers Samsung to say NOPE).
Do these Steps:
0) Download the patch off this thread.
1) Download ODIN from here.
2) Download TWRP from the TWRP Guide.
~~~Refer to the TWRP Guide. Again. Note you do NOT need root. Read the following but ignore the "root" parts.
To disable forced encryption, mount internal storage(DATA) and disable dm-verity:
(Note this MUST be flashed after SuperSU if you intend to root)
1. Boot to Twrp
2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.
(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)
3. Check DATA is mountable.
4. Install SuperSU (if root is required)
5. Install boot image patch below.
6. Reboot

Enabling it:
1) Put the following on your SD card root:

2: no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx
2) Use ODIN to flash TWRP.
3) Swipe to modify system settings.
4) FORMAT -> Data
5) Install -> External SD Card -> no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx

I did this steps and it didnt work.

Originally I was going make a video of this to show, so folks here know how to do it, but forgot
I don't think I can bear spending another hour flashing stock to root again though (the first time I bricked it accidentally). But perhaps I will eventually, there at least two people here with this mod working so surely it can't just 3 of us with working shared storage. As always, you do this at your own risk.
Edit to add: Latest update is 09/28/17 and I'm using a firmware that's already 3 months behind.
2) I don't know if this is compatible with *your* model and I don't know anything about the variations of ROMS thereof, I'm just explaining how I did it, don't shoot the messenger.
Is there any easy option here then that won't brick my device? I've just purchased an S3 and I'm annoyied you can't use the SD card for internal storage. 32gb isn't a vast amount of space nowdays, why would Samsung turn off this option??

Wow, this is news to me and SO DUMB of Samsung to do this! What the hell would be the reason for this? If they're going to remove this feature, then this tablet should've came with at least 64gb. 32gb is weak for a $600 tablet!
No need for that. Don't download Lotta apps. Play one or two games at a time finish them. Use your phone for other stuff. I use tab mostly for HDR video Netflix Amazon and download on SD card 64 GB so no issues. 32 is actually good will save a ton of battery tab easily lasts 2 days with binge watching on speakers and 67 percentage or full brightness last about one and a half day

There is a developer option to force apps to move to SD card
how do u enable microsd card as internal storage on android 8.0 oreo? samsung t820
It is simple. Just flash the ZIP file which I attached here in Recovery and then you will be able to format SD card as Internal Storage.
*** If it is not working, you must need to FORMAT DATA to delete the encryption, so before of that - make a backup of all your files ***
I tested it on Android 13 and it is working perfectly.
Then you can use for example an app: APP2SD (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd) from Google Play to move apps to adopted storage (SD CARD)

HI folks,
Total newbie here looking for advice. With the excellent instructions on the site, I was able to quickly and easily burn CM7 to a class 4 SD card and boot my 16 gb nook table w/ no problem. I love CM7 and it blows away the Nook OS and the absurd limitations B&N has placed on the tablet.
Here's the question: I now want to open up additional storage and want to know if it is worth rooting the Nook internally?
I also wonder if it would run a little faster vs. running from the SD card?
I see no reason to ever go back to the B&N environment. On other hand, don't want to accidentally brick it in the process when it is running fine from the card.
If I choose to go with internal root, I am also bit confused on the best (most sound) way to go ahead and load CM7 internally, given that it is running now from the card. Do I just move it over or do I have to do something with CWM?
Thanks!
David
Easiest way to get a rom on the internal:
1. Make a bootable clockworkmod sd card (similar to your CM7 card, but this card will allow you to boot into a custom recovery).
2. Transfer desired rom (zip file) to local memory of the nook.
3. Boot into clockworkmod recovery via the card.
4. Make a backup of the current rom.
5. Install zip from sd -> choose the zip file you placed on the local memory.
6. Wipe data/cache.
7. Reboot into your new internal rom. If you would like, you can use indirect's app to flash clockworkmod to the internal memory and then format the bootable sdcard so you can use it as media storage.
If you ever need to return to stock, you can simply restore your backup via recovery.
Thank you very much!
That helps. I guess I am still trying to decide if it is worth doing that.
Will I have memory free on the device that I do not now and will it run any more efficiently or faster (vs. running off the SD card)?
Thanks again.
I think you'll have full access but it won't be mounted when you plug it into a PC.
If you want it to be mounted, you'll need to repartition. There is a guide for that or you can go to B&N and have them do it. Though, the B&N repartition is only half and half; doing it on your own you can get a lot more.
This is only for CM7 based roms though. CM9 does not have the internal memory mounting yet (I'm sure eventually it will).
jericho ishipatb
Hmmm I need to search for a guide to mount the internal memory again.
I have done what the OP is thinking about doing on my Nook Tablet 16gb.
It works flawlessly but I don't see the internal memory when hooking the nook up to a PC. I just get an exclamation mark in my device manager. I can browse the internal memory through cm7, and it shows that I have nearly 12 gigs of free space on the device itself, but I cannot drop content from my pc on there.
/me searches how to mount internal memory
Try modifying your build.prop file as shown in this post
Unable to mount "/bootdata"
I got an error msg (Unable to mount "/bootdata") when performing 4. What did I do wrong? I use TWRP to backup the ROM on bootable SD Card.

If you are trying to backup stock ROM and then install CM internally on emmc, I'd suggest taking a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35669871 for info/pointers.

Hi Guys,
I have karbonn A15 android ICS(4.0.4) smartphone, its not rooted.
I want to move the app Data to my external sd card, i tried to move the data folder from the internal SD (android/data) to External SD (root folder), just to check whether it releases any memory in the storage section in phone settings. but the internal storage was same, there was no change, can anyone tell me where does the app data resides in the internal memory, its fine if i can move app data manually to the external sd card.
I also want some clarification on below questions:
1. Also i want to know whether there is any risk rooting phone like (Bricking Phone), as i have bricked my previous Galaxy Ace when i rooted and used ROM manager.
2. Also i have heard about Folder Binding app which automatically transfers App Data to External Sd Card, is there any risk of bricking phone.
3. Whats the easiest method to root Karbonn A15 phone, i am not that tech savvy, so easiest method would be grateful in rooting device.
My concern is just to move App Data to External Sd Card, because i have some app whose Data increase very frequently (E.g: FireFox app).
Answers to this would be really appreciated.

Rooting:
here are the steps
the driver files are included on the phone internal card called pcdrivers.zip. you can connect the usb mount the internal usb storage and copy the file to your pc. if you face any problems you can download the file from here
1. Enable USB Debugging -> Under SETTINGS -> DEVELOPER OPTIONS
2. Install the drivers for the phone.
3. download "Android Root Unlock" from sourceforge.net and extract it to your Disktop
4. navigate to the above folder and run the batch file ICS_Root_Unlocker.bat
the batch file will reboot your phone a couple of times and will wait with a message "Press Any Key to continue"
IMPORTANT NOTE : if you PC is saying "PRESS ANY KEY" note if your phone is on or rebooting....
if it is Rebooting, wait for it to start before pressing a key
5. After a couple of boots the phone will be rooted
6. verify that the Root is complete by observing a "Superuser" shortcut in the application list
Moving Apps:
Once rooted, download Folder Mount From the Play Store
- Once installed, open FolderMount and grant superuser access when asked.
- In FolderMount, you have the options to:
- Name your folder (IE: "Generic Game 1")
- Select the "Source" Folder (the one on your local storage)
- Select the "Destination" Folder (the one on your SD Card)
When you enter these details, it will then move them to your SD Card!
I highly recomend FolderMount Pro, because it also shows you filesizes when browsing.
Common Locations of Large Files:
Two common locations for games (IE: Gameloft games, EA Games, etc.)
Android/data
Android/obb
I know it's not the easiest process ever, but hopefully I've explained it enough to get people started.

Is there any method/app that can provide a similar functionality without rooting the phone? I tried rooting my Karbonn A21 without success and do not really want to brick it?
Also is there any way of backing up the phone and app data before rooting? Will the existing apps and data be wiped out by rooting?
Thanks in advance.

foldermount
so quick question, i transferred games to external sd, worked fine and all, but after a while my games asked me to download the files again, anyone know a solution?
I m using foldermount but there is write error mention that was unable to write into the external sdcard caused by a permission issue where normal apps are not able to write anything into storage/ext_sd. What should I do next to solve this problem? Attempt to recover using the apps not solving it.
This is what i mean.
Moving app Data to External SD card
in particular the movement of android apps data from internal memory to SD card is a simple process, but the problem with these issues is your smartphone is to be a latest version like 4.3 version.
Idea
Can I move the game folders from Internal Storage: Android/data -> SD card: Android/data, will it work on non rooted phone? In the Data folder on the SD card are partition of some apps and they work just fine. Same with folder "obb".
moving apps data and obb to External sdcard.
I recommend using an app called folder mount. ..it needs root but it's as easy as fishing in a barrel. .. I am using It and it works fine... and now you have a clear space in your internal storage.
Hey, I followed above instructions and my phone Samsung S5 6.0.1 successfully rooted, but now I've entered into an endless restarting loop.
Please help what's the problem might be?
Hello Folks! Did you ever wanted to increase internal storage? Well you came to the right place! Today I will show you the RIGHT way of increasing internal storage and allowing you to install more apps and games!
Note: You will need to be running an custom ROM before attempting to increase storage. Also root and superuser permissions will be needed. This method best works on gingerbread as it is more stable, I have tried it on ICS and JB but they may soft brick your device.
Step 1: Download and install MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition [DO NOT USE THE WINDOWS PARTITION AS IT DOES NOT SUPPORT EXT FORMATS]
Step 2: Plug your device in and make sure its mounted. Open MiniTool Partition Wizard, now you should see your SD card. [Back everything up before continuing]
Step 3: Right click on the SD card and click on "Format". This may take a while.
Step 4: Right click again and wipe the partition. Once that is done, split the partition. If you have a 8GB SD card I recommend you give 900MB for SD-EXT and the rest for SD.
Step 5: Before you apply, make the second partition (sd-ext) EXT 3 format. Do not touch the larger partition. Once your done you can unplug your device from the computer.
It should look like this:
Step 6: Go over to the Play Store and download "Mounts2Sd"
Step 7: Run the application and it should ask for super user rights
Step 8: Hopefully you will be presented with a screen like this.
Step 9: Press the menu button then tap on "Application Settings." Then tap "Install Mounts Script"
Step 10: Once step 9 is complete, tap the wrench icon and select apps and dalvik cache. (best effective way to increase internal storage)
Step 11: Scroll down and find "Driver" tap on that and select "Auto Detect"
Step 12: Restart! [NOTE: Boot may take a little longer than usual] [The speed on boot up now mainly depends on your SD card]
Now you are done! Here it what mine looks like now! So what ever you install, will go into the SD-EXT partition. Dalvik Cache is also now in SD-EXT!
I hope I helped you!

Well you don't have to wipe the SD card unless there are other partitions. Make sure you have space left for the SD-EXT and SD card. Also, init.d is installed in Mounts2Sd (it will overwrite the previous script)
Hope this helps!

Well if you followed my guide, you should have 2 partitions eventually. One SD (Fat32) and one SD-EXT (Ext3 for moving apps) Regarding to your question, it depends on what you are going to move to the SD-EXT partition. If you are moving big apps such as apps and games (no more than 50mb) then you will be fine. The minimum ideal external storage (SD-EXT) is about 300mb, because cache (and dalvik cache if you want) will take up most of the space. I recommend 400mb - 900mb for the SD-EXT partition.
I have tried it on ICS and JB but they may soft brick your device.

Yes jellybean is the way to go however some devices (like mine) cannot run it well. I ran ics, gb and jb but gingerbread is the stablest for me. This is the only reason why I use gingerbread for NOW. Give a shot anyways, if your sd card is fast, it will perform fast when you use Mounts2sd. Class10 and above is good.
Hi Guys. Many of us are facing low internal memory problem on Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015 Models). After installing few apps and games the internal memory becomes almost full. Ever wished that if we can move apps data files and games obb files to Sd card. Well now we can do it by simply installing xposed framework and few xposed apps.
In this tutorial I am going to tell you how to move apps data file, obb files etc to sd card. Follow the instruction given below.
Requirements:
1) Rooted J5 phone.
2) TWRP recovery installed
3) Xposed framework installed.
Procedure:
1) If you did not meet above given requirement than go to the link given below and download TWRP, Supersu, Xposed. Flash TWRP via Odin and root using Supersu zip and install Xposed.
2) Now open xposed and go to download and download two xposed apps (i) Obb On Sd (ii) XInternalSD.
3) After installing these two apps go to modules section an activate these modules and reboot your device.
4) Once you device is rebooted open obb on sd app and enable (i) Data on SD and (ii) Detect SD on Android 5/6.
5) Now open XInternalSD app and enable (i) Custom path to internal SD Card (ii) Full access to external SD card. In path to internal SD card there should be /storage/extSdCard/. If it is not than make it. Now you can enable it for all apps or enable it for particular apps using enable for apps option.
6) That’s it now you can move your games obb files to SD card/Android/obb and data files of apps to sd card/Android/data. Your games and apps will read those files from sd card.
7) Enjoy.

1. Download the TWRP recovery from the link below.
Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) ( Thanks @Nick Verse for TWRP recovery)

3. Xposed from the link below.

Note: Flashing TWRP and Supersu will void your warranty. So think before you flash. After flashing TWRP do a nandroid backup first before flashing anything (even supersu file) so that if anything goes wrong you can restore back.
And most important do everything on your own risk. I will not be responsible to any damage made to your device. But if you follow the process carefully you will not face any problem.
Hope this tutorial will help you all.

Note: Flashing TWRP and Supersu will void your warranty. So think before you flash. After flashing TWRP do a nandroid backup first before flashing anything (even supersu file) so that if anything goes wrong you can restore back.
And most important do everything on your own risk. I will not be responsible to any damage made to your device. But if you follow the process carefully you will not face any problem.
Hope this tutorial will help you all.

You have to manually move obb file and data files from internal memory/Android/obb and internal memory/Android/Data to SD card/Android/obb and sd card/Android/data.
So I can select ALL data files and move them;
Ps I :have only 4 or 5 obb files and many too ment data files
I can move them all??

Yes select and move data files and obb files of apps that you want to move from internal memory to sd card in respective folders. Move one app at a time and check if it works than move another and so on.
it seems that i do something wrong!!!!!!!!!!!
from storage-->emulated-->0-->Android --> data--> (this is my internal storage)
i move to storage-->sdcard1-->Android-->data. ( this is my sd card)
But after i start a programe (lets say facebook) it works but when i check again the storage-->emulated-->0-->Android --> data-->
i find the com.facebook.orca .
the same think is NOT happening to the storage-->emulated-->0-->Anroid-->obb-- (thanks God)
i did move data and obb only from this folder storage-->emulated-->0-->Anroid-->
i should move and others?

Try to use root explorer to move files. And yes all application might not work but big games and some apps files will work . And why do you want to move apps with small size, they do not consume lot of memory so its better to keep them on internal memory. If you have any apps with larger size than try to move them. Hope it will help. Do let me know if you need more help.
Is it necessary To keep these Tow modules after doing this?
Low internal memory problem of J5 can be solved effectively with Partition. External sd card can be partitioned and a part of the sd card can be converted into internal storage. There are many apps for doing this.

i have tried this using mini partition tool, i formatted my sdcard partion to ext 2 but when i inserted the card to the device it showed as corrupted sdcard. also link2sd didnt work. i tried reformatting the sdcard to ext4 but the same problem. it is most likely because of MM.
if you have a working way to get this done on MM j500f, kindly share with us. i am in desperate need of this, and want to download big games.

Sorry i can't give you a step by step guide because i haven't tried it myself on MM. I have only read about it. But you can try two things - Firstly try the app 'Apps2sd' and secondly if the app does not work then you can try adb command line method which has helped many people. Adb method has a higher chance of success. If these two methods also don't work then i think it's impossible to do it now.
its not working on modern combat 5

HELP PLEASE? I have a stock Galaxy Tab A - SM-P580 - 16GB (2016). It is running Android 8.1.0. I am using a 200GB SD card. I am running up against the wonderful internal storage issue. I have less than 1GB of free internal storage. It says I have 7GB in Apps. I assume the rest of the storage is being used by the Android OS. I would like to move a pile of this to the SD card but am not being allowed to. I have read about using various mods that will allow me to use the SD card (partial or fully) as internal storage and I have read pros and cons regarding doing that. I've using ODIN and TWRP and I have tried several times but I get as far as ending up with blue lines and no further so I flipped back to stock. I tried another method but once I reboot I end up with the "Swipe to unlock" message and am not able to get any further with that so once again I go back to stock. Can anyone out there PLEASE point me in the right direction - other than buying a new tablet with more internal memory. Thank you all!
Hello, first you have to install this TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-1-0-p580-oreo-t4048671 , then you have to boot on TWRP and install the adoptable storage zip that you can found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3507387/amp/ , next you have to boot on System, insert your SD card and look for the option to reset the SD card under settings/device maintenance/storage/3 dots/storage settings/SD card/3 dots/format as... Be sure that you have a backup of your data and the original 8.1 ROM just in case. This only work with 8.1 ROM
