    This works with an A11 with 32 GB of internal storage. All of the other tips and tricks did not work on this phone such as "Force allow apps on external" and apps like "Activity launcher" and "Install Apps on SDCard". The drivers were automaticlly installed and following the video and instructions on the website went smoothly. I ended up setting up the SD card @ 25% (128GB total). Great tutorial.

    This is pretty awesome and seems to be working fine on my Verizon S7 Edge. The options you have without doing this says you have the option to move apps to the sd card but never seemed to work correctly. It said it was moved but still information still showing as if it was on the internal storage and never moved. Now with this I was able to see the storage on the internal storage is actually free now and is moved to the sd card. Thanks for this!

    If using mixed mode: After this I recommend using a tool to rename your SD card FAT32 partition (the one for media files and not apps). Shut down phone, take it out, and connect it to Windows (may need an adapter). I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition to rename it by right clicking the correct partition and labeling it. Finish that, and put it back into the phone. Now you can see the difference between the 2 partitions when choosing where to move apps.

      If you plan on removing the SD card while your Galaxy phone is on make sure you go into your settings and eject the SD card if you don't the likelihood you will lose important files or your SD card will become corrupted 😑

      +TechLineHD also, while bigger the storage capacity on the sd, less reliable it becomes, the s7 and s7 edge already have 64 gb of internal storage, so you rarely will fill them with apps. this feature would be good for lower end devices with like 8 gb of internal storage

      Yes in the video it said it was formatting the storage device distk 179,0 which is the micro sd storage device; so it would be formatting the memory on the sd storage device and any data stored on that would need to be backed up or archives as that data would be lost forever.

      Eventually many apps and data within those apps will refuse to move onto the SD card, since not all apps allow you to send them to the SD card. This method fools your device to think your SD card is part of the main memory chip inside. So you get one chunk of storage.

    Can't you use ES File Explorer and use your download source and user home directory as your SD card instead of doing your features just use the app to convert your SD card into your main storage location

    Worked for me too... I got this error at first try: "Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: command '631 volume partition disk:179.6
    4 private' failed with 'null'"
    But, after reboot my Z3 Compact, I think it worked. But I got negative number at total storage.
