My phone is Asus Zenfone Live L2 Bought less than 2 months ago. My microSD card is VGen 32 GB 9 months old. All preinstalled app can perform write action to microSD card like move, copy, paste, extract and download without problem. But any app that I personally install always result in corrupt or 0 sized files. Already checked all those apps for SD card access and storage permission. Phone is currently rooted but issue existed since before. Already looked solution on Google but no working fix.

To install apps on external SD-card requires this card is set up as internal Android storage.

I didn't mean to install app to SD card. But to write files using third party file manager, archive manager, picture manager and media player.

I can't seem to get the HTC camera application to store photos and video on the 8gig SD card I have installed.
The HTC album will see whatever images are stored on the card, however, the camera only shows 'Main Memory' and 'Network" as the only options for saving to.
Otherwise, the SD card works fine.
I am using K's Rom v1.31
Any thoughts on how to allow images/video to be saved the the sd card?

I had that same issue, HR fixed mines. I think it was registry related but I didn't want to mess with it.
You naughty bad people

I posted on this oooooh maybe two years ago and then again just a few days ago. The camera can only save to one of two locations, so if you have view network folder enabled you get main and network as a choice. Disable network view and you can choose Main or storage card.

Thank you Mike.
Hey! Is there any way to set the default storage to my external SD card? I have my ext SD set to default storage location in the Camera app, so all my captured images and videos are saved on my ext SD; However, if I save an image from Chrome/Kik/Messenger/ect, it saves it on the internal SD. I recently got a new 32GB Ultra Sandisk card and would like all my apps to save all the images/downloads to my ext SD rather than my internal one, like the Camera application. Thanks in advanced.
You either need to modify the kernel to switch them, or use a script the unmounts the internal and external, then remounts them under the opposite locations.

If I did it right, my Kernel and ROM information is above. Since I am not having any other problems except this one, it would probably be best to use a script instead of a new Kernel, right? I can't find anything on Google except for complete Internal & External SD swaps, which is not what I'm looking for. Could I use TWRP to mount and remount the locations? If so, how?
You can use the swap script or I installed a new Rom (jellybean 14) which uses your external memory as internal memory. When you plug ur phone into your computer the storage location will look swapped.

For roms like cm12 the internal storage is a bit small and I often got a "no free storage left" message. I did a bit of research and as for the Xperia S it is possible to resize the internal storage.
Now it looks like this.
Is anyone interested in a guide how to resize the partitions? If you do you'll lose everything stored on the device and the sd card and need to backup everything.

It is possible to merge internal memory(sometimes called device storage) and sdcard0.(sometimes called internal storage). However it is usually risky business and flashing over can hardbrick your phone.
However there are other ways to do it.
First is to move apps to sdcard, which is done best by Titaniumbackup (It requires root)
Secondly you can use a software likelink2sd which would use your memory card(you decide how much) and link it with your internal memory.
If you have still problems, you can quote me for an answer.
Good luck
Can you explain the process for link2sd, as xperia p doesn't contain SD card?
Hi,
I'am new to the forum and I came here to help other people, so they can help me either.
I have Alcatel One Touch XPOP 5035X with CWM recovery and custom ROM Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and Windows 7 64 bit. My problem is when I try to transfer files using MTP, on Windows it sas that failed to install driver "MTP USB Device". I tried all found solutions here and out. I can transfer files using Mass Storage but it's really slow.
Please help me....
Thank you
Oh, btw, my Internal Storage is replaced as SD Card, and my SD Card is replaced as PhoneStorage.
See the screenshot :

Update : It seems that Gallery app and Music app only loads picture/audio files on SD Card. If I delete them from SD Card, they are still showing those files, but when I try to open them, it shows that file couldn't be located. I tried copying files to Internal Storage and still won't open them, like they don't exist. Same thing for notification sound and ringtone, if they are not on SD Card, they won't play. If I unplugg SD Card, everything works perfect and Internal Storage is PhoneStorage at storage settings. I also notice using RootExplorer that SD Card is named "storage0" and Internal Storage "storage1". I downloaded ROM from here : https://youtu.be/3YC72-tgcxk
1 week ago my phone (J5 Prime 2016) recieved oreo update, so
I installed the update and made the phone reset.
New android has took more space than android nougat, and also I've decided to install some game to play, thus I have got less space in my internal storage.
I tried to format my SD card to turn it into internal storage but there is no option for doing that, as I remember there was an option to format and turn it into internal storage in android nougat.

An options has been added to apps detail screen that you can transfer the apps to sd card using that option, but this option only send a few data file, it doesn't send main file like OBB files (In HD game) or cache file storage location (In apps like instagram, telegram, Whatsapp), so it's kind a useless.
Do anybody know anyway to enable Adoptable Storage in my phone?!
Thus anyone can solve? Im also having problem with this after oreo update, can some help us to downgrade it on nougat to have the adoptable storage thanks in advance
Once External storage got adopted you cannot remove it, and the Adopted storage is much slower than Internal storage.
You should not use this feature unless you are desperately short of Internal storage, IMHO.
