General :: How To Set Default Install Location To External SDCard
Nov 6, 2013
Method to allow myself to install apps and games to my external 32gb external sd card and set this as my default install location as my internal storage is small and i always have problems with available space . I have been told this can be done on adb on computer with running special commands to change default install location. Is this true ? Will I need to root and use an app which is user friendly for this? I have a samsung galaxy s4 mini gt i9105 unrooted.

I'm running a custom ROM (4.2.2) on an HTC Vivid. When I connect to my PC via usb, Windows only sees the internal storage, not the external sd card, and there's no way to navigate to the System partition to access.
When I was running the stock HTC ICS, Windows would mount the external card as a separate drive. I know the file system hierarchy is different with JB. Is this why it only sees the internal storage now?

i have xperia ray and i want to swap my external sdcard with the internal memory.. Xperia ray has 300mb of internal memory and it's really low and isn't enough.. i know that there's a hack that switches the external sdcard with the internal memory.. i found a thread [URL] ..... that explains how to do that but i don't have the same line that the thread started has..this is what i have:
Code:
# Mounts the first usable partition of the specified device
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0
[code]....

I finally upgraded to android, i got the cheapest phone possible(kyocera milano) which seems to be a mistake. The phone has only about 300mb internal storage and can barely handle its own updates(because of the limited storage). so i would like to know if its possible to make the phone "think" that some of the sd card is part of its internal memory? I found an adb driver for it(dont ask me where or which one because i had no idea and started messing with one until it worked) i have not tried rooting but can if i need to.

Currently, ICS on my sgs2 shows my external card as mounted with empty contents (in storage settings). Both /mnt/sdcard and /sdcard point to the internal sdcard storage. Where is my external card mounted? GT-I9100

I am using a mt6582m device with kitkat 4.4.2 with supersu. I can use root to write to system, data and cache using es file explorer, can also read and write to any sd card, but apps like titanium backup, online android backup, ram expander can't read/write to sd card.
Eg.1: ti backup read backups, can do all operation except backup and restore.
I had read a lot, changing backup path didn't worked nor any odex file is there. Using v6.1.5.6.
Eg. 2: ram expander can create swap file on sd but can read it saying 'not found'. Swap can be used with cache partition.
Eg. 3: online nandroid backup says pat not vaild.
I had tried, sd fix app, manually editing platform.xml, xposed module to 'handel external storage', change permissions using es file explorer, editing ramdisk.
There is storage/sdcard0 and 1
Also mnt/sdcard and mnt/sdcard2 (symlinked)
Also mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 and 1 (not readable even in es file explorer)

I'm trying out encryption, and have just encrypted the external SD card for now.My goal is to encrypt both the external and internal cards.
But to my surprise, I've noticed that the external card is accessible (I can read its contents) from recovery (CWM) without having to type any password...

its possible to change the location of screen shots in ICS and if so, how? Ive dug around to no avail. I tried switching the camera option to go from internal to external but that only did it for the camera roll, not screen shots.

Many people think that the pictures taken from the phone camera are stored in internal storage and think they are losing internal memory because of taking picture bit the pictures you take is stored on sd card
Images are stored insdcardDCIMcamera
so dont worry take pictures
instal link 2 sd and wipe all cache and dalvik-cache to free up 5-15mb

I want to move some files from sdcard to /data/data/myapp/files folder, I can use OpenInputFile and OpenOutputFile and write to it, then delete the original one. But it is slow, so, I tried to use oldFile.Rename(newFile), but it always return false. Any idea? The reason I am doing this is to hide some files from my sdcard, so, nobody can see them.

I'm running deodexed build from this post: [URL] and CWM bootloader. I'm using link2sd and 16GB external CD card.
Strange things started to happen (I think) after using my phone in the swimming pool. Apps from my external card vanished and I couldn't fix this issue, so finally formatted SD card (minitool didn't work, partition toolkit did). Meanwhile every now and then "no place on disk" error while installing apps popped up. Approx. 400 MB of internal storage was free...
After format things started to look promising, but "no place on disk" error still bugged me, so I thougth about workaround, and tried adb shell pm set-install-location 2. After restart I got bootloop. Tried several options and finally was able to flash firmware with odin 1.85. While I was at it, I flashed bootloader with CWM mod and odin 3.09. (Before flashing I was getting an error after restart and had to reboot manually:
Quote:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Well, that worked, and no data was lost, but my external card is unusable, link2sd warns me about my second partition not being automounted and every time I restart phone I'm in the bootloop again, having to flash firmware to be able to unbrick it.
I tried to fix second partition from within partition toolkit, but no luck, formated it, again, but now link2sd doesn't see it mounted at all (partition toolkit does). I've reverted install location already, set it to 0, and later to 1, but no luck... I mean it works, but doesn't solve the problems. I backed up everything with titanium backup and I'm considering factory reset.

I have Prestigio PAP 4500 dual SIM phone with 4 GB internal memory and external microSD card 16GB - rooted. This 4 GB internal memory is devided on 2 part:
1.st labeled as Internal storage with 503 MB - this is location for app installation
2.nd labeled as Internal memory card with 2 GB - this is empty because I use externalSD 16GB.
Because Internal storage (503 MB) is too small for all app I'd like to install phone often pop up message "Storage space running out". How to change installation path so apps install on Internal memory card (2 GB) ??
I tried:
1. change in Settings, Storage, Preferred install location, SD card but after reinstalling all apps again get "Storage space running out"
2. install Mobile Uncle Tool (chinese menu), right button click on 1.st pop up, AppToSD, choose external, press button under it and install all apps again but again get "Storage space running out".
In both cases no change in capacity of Internal memory card with 2 GB.

Ok I have been trying to figure this out for a while. I have an application that needs to read images from a folder created by the application on the sdcard. I have no idea what the names of the files are because the user specifies the names of the files. I need to read the images from the folder and make something like the default image viewer, where you can share them delete them and things like that. Im thinking read them into a grid view first but 1) cant figure out how to dynamically read them from a folder 2) how would I implement the image options like the default viewer? If there was a way to open the default viewer on a certain folder that would help.
Anyways any input would be amazing been working on it for a while.

Android 2.2 allow users install the app on SDcard. Developer could set the android:installLocation ="internalOnly" to install the app to internal memory. But I found that the user could also use the "adb install -s " command to install the app on the Sdcard. Are there anyone know how to force the app installed on internal memory? Another question is: are there any API support to find the locatin where the app is installed?

I need to rely on external app (Barcode scanner in my case). The eclipse emulator crashes when I try to download it from within the emulator itself.
Is there a way to download it using the emulator?
Or Is there a way to directly install the APK and make it available for my application?

Has anyone installed an external app i.e. from an SD card on there Wildfire. If yes, which app did you use. One way to install an external app is through HTC sync, however considering that sync doesn't work with the Wildfire yet, I need to find another way to do this.
