I install 128 GB extra storage on my android.

The thing is, most of those spaces are empty.

I cannot, for example, move my most space hoarding apps over there.

I can move files but I have no idea which file I should move.

My phone is POCO X3 NFC

I am using MKIUI Global 12.0.7 Stable

Some says I should integrate the flash card with my normal ssd. However, I do not see such option in settings

I installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd

It says I can move app but I need to format SD card as internal by going to

Settings > Storage > SD card

Well, in settings there is no menu called storage.

It seems that in APP there should be a button that say Change.

I see no such button.

enter image description here

I can go to manage apps and I am supposed to see this

enter image description here

I don't. My typical screen shen I click manage apps look like.

See. No change button. I should format my SD as internal. I do not see any such option. I can format my SD but there is no option that it's formatted as internal. enter image description here

Your device comes with (fast) 64/128GB UFS Flash Storage. moving apps to (slow) MicroSD Card requires formatting as adoptable-storage (and makes Internal Storage unused).

In case you really need more storage for apps consider rooting your device. (Along with several disadvantages) you get ability for mounting single apps to MicroSD Card manually.

  • What do you mean by making internal storage unused? I want to use both internal storage. however, I want some apps to move to micro sd card. – user4951 Mar 23 '23 at 10:15
  • the whole /sdcard is moved to adopted MicroSD card, it's either or – alecxs Mar 23 '23 at 14:18
  • the sm partition commands should work to format as internal. check df when done. then try your app again – alecxs Mar 24 '23 at 06:55
  • Say I have 128GB memory and 128 GB SD card, will I have 256 GB total space? – user4951 Mar 24 '23 at 14:05
  • No. you will have 107G for apps and 119G for movable apps and media. so the max. pictures to be saved is 119G formatted as internal (compare: for portable storage the max. pictures to be saved is 226G) – alecxs Mar 24 '23 at 14:19
