[Q] Changing default path for installation apps

hendymenn · Oct 23, 2012

Hello guys,

I'm sorry if this was a repeated question.
But i was wondering how we can change our default installation path on galaxy note?

Because the problem is everytime i download something from google play, its installed in the phone memory which is only around 1,5Gb

What's the use of 11Gb that we had on usb storage then? Can we somehow change the default path to usb storage?

And i don't want to use external SD card. I think that's all, thanks guys! Waiting for your respons!

11gb internal storage is called sd card. App2sd is what you need.

I've tried that and it refers to the original function of move to sd card from the application settings. And it didn't work it says couldn't move not enough storage space and its because i dont have any sd card insert.

Therefore 11Gb usb storage only useful for extended game data and photo or music?

Using App2SD you can only move some part of an app to the 11GB (called as SD card or internal SD) memory..also, you cant move each & every app, since some apps needs to be on the Phone memory (memory which shows ~2GB)..I am using App2SD to reduce the load on Phone memory..it wl b useful for apps/games, especially which r bigger in size..what I believe is the more you keep the Phone memory free, the more faster your phone will be..

Thats a better option..buy a 32GB memory card & move all the stuffs like movies, music, photos, docs etc etc etc to it..use 2GB+11GB (in built memory) only for apps, games & their data..

Even 64GB card works on our Note, as per the below thread:

I know this is a very late reply

sorry
but i wonder you were talking about moving apps 2 sd
However, i moved all apps that are movable, i have no pics, videos, music or whatsoever . Yet, the internal storage gets full very fast to extend that i can't update apps anymore

I hope during the last 4 years someone figured out a solution

my phone has a custom lollipop rom and its rooted

You can repartition your device, and you will have plenty of space for everything you need

Its really simple ,1st you flash this recovery http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=18061 , then you https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762635999029 install this trought this new installed recovery , and you now have 6gb memory for installing apps,and 7gb on sdcard0
data=6gb (means +4gb for apps)
sdcard0=~7gb (means -4gb from the stock size)

Thank u again
First this is a twrp recovery I already have cwm does it have to be twrp?
Second still the second question about how to prevent auto closing for apps
Just now I opened the browser three times to be able to write the reply

Yes it needs to be TWRP for that,after you flash file for storage you need to install from /tmp again and it should work
i dont know why,try to flash again rom,for me everything works without problem
