It is indeed an issue, but a fixable one if you have root. I use CF.lumen to adjust color sliders and it fixes everything.

got the same issue here. compared to my redmi note 10 pro (also amoled) colors look damn weak.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Aloupha:
Hello,

I am a long-time Note series user who finally decided to switch to the S24, thereby losing the SD-Card functionally I did not want to give up. That being the case, I am looking for possible ways to still have some sort of resemblance to the SD-Card. Two possibilities come to mind, and I'd like to know if either or both are doable.

1) Is it possible to create multiple partitions out of the Internal Storage? My thinking is to use one for the OS, and the other would be used as my "SD-Card". As long as a hard reset of the phone would not impact this, I would be fine.

2) Is it possible to create a folder within the internal storage and set the permission in a way that it would not be deleted by a hard reset? Again, this would give me the same functionality (not quite, but for my purpose it would be) of the SD-Card.

I am thinking the first option might not be doable, but the second might be.

Please let me know, thanks!

You can use the cloud for this. G-drive, Dropbox, ....
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Aloupha:
Thanks, but I am not looking for a cloud solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
You are not alone. I wondered the same thing with my shiny new s24 ultra.

It's an interesting idea definitely, but I can not think of a way to do it either :( usb on the go was my only real option but it's too much of a faff to bother with.

I did find a few others who have tried to do the same via google and reddit searches but nobody appears to have succeeded :(
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sosimple:
I don't think it can been done without root.. It's not a solution, but i create a folder, named SD. I'm putting there whatever i used to have in microsd. Usually videos, music, pictures, backups, and generally whatever doesn't need installation. So whenever i need a hard reset, at least i know what to copy to my hd, to restore it later..

But you probably already do something similar i suppose..
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dvhttn:
The s24 will be my first phgone without an sdcard so I'm doing something similar. I also use syncthing to sync/backup files to my PC at home.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Aloupha:
Yes, that's what I am doing.

I also opted to carry a very small USBC adaptor that goes on my key chain since the data transfer is faster.

Based on what I have read, the secure folder idea is impossible because restore truly means restore. So, short of an official feature from Samsung, a factory reset will in fact reset everything in the Internal Storage partition.

So, the ability to create multiple partition seems to be the only plausible way to get this done... If we can somehow split the Internal Storage drive into two partions.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sosimple:
To create multiple portions, based to what we know ,is impossible without disabling knox. So you need root. Samsung phones don't have much support these days.. It's difficult even with root.

Of course it may be a solution to partion without root. I'm sure Samsung can do it. But developers/hacker's can't at these point.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Aloupha:
It's crazy how much support these phones used to have... but now... oh well.

I am still holing out hope that it is doable... or at least some other method that gives me the functionality I am looking for. I suppose time will tell.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sosimple:
I'm actually thinking to buy one plus ,next plone, because they have better support from the community ,plus you can root it without loosing guarantee. With Samsung most of us are waiting 2 years, loosing guarantee then we root.

But i didn't like much any phone of oneplus until now..
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] cabagekiller:
One plus does not have much support once OPPO took over as they locked down the MSM tool to reflash bricked phones. It took the One plus 11 about half a year to have any support and that was due to MSM tool being cracked.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] propov8:
Im not sure but Secure Folder is probably the answer. During mine last hard resset the phone asked for Security Folder - delete or not. Like I said - Im not sure. And is not so easy to try now :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] kingwicked:
I have resisted an upgrade from my Note 20 Ultra for last 3 years which has a 1 Tb sandisk micro sd inserted in it. I really feel you from where you are coming.

I have pre ordered a 512gb S24 Ultra and im not willing to give these phone manufacturers my extra money just for damn storage.

I bought My WD Cloud Ex2 Ultra 0Tb + 2x 4TB WD Red HDD drives. I have downgraded also my google drive from 2TB to 200gb acvount which i will continue to use fro swift backup .

The cloud cost me 300$ but i consider it at least a 4 year good investment for me. I will neither pay Samsung or Google extra money just for storage.

The cloud works fantastic. I have a 50 MBPS fiber optics connection at home and 4G with sim giving me also around 40 to 50 MB speed.

The besuty of this cloud is you dont have to pay monthly or yearly anything all your data is with you physically also accessible all times.

The Cloud app allows to stream videos and mp3s without downloading. Works super. One can also share the video to phone video players likr mx player and vlc.

The cloud app can be used on your phones tablets, pc, tv. I am using it.

I avoid filling up phone memory always becuase im going to root S24 U and flash a custom rom and idont like copying data back and forth to my pc while updating custom rom versions . its a waste of time.

I would advise to have a look at such cloud options where you will just pay once and will be at ease away from these greedy companies .

You will be admin of your cloud and you can add upto 512 more users And can control read write view permissions of each user.

Have a look at my images attached.

1. 1st is image from mixplorer file manager.

2. 2nd is from their my cloud app.

3. I have also connected in samsung my files.

You would be able to access locally and via web as well from any part of the world as long as your cloud is powered on.

This is the 1st NAS i have ever bought and my 1st time experience is damn fantastic .
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] annson08:
Man, I had the same dilemma as you when I transitioned from Note10+ to s21 ultra. Unfortunately after a long search I really couldn't find a way to emulate an sd card so I just opted with cloud storage, I use OneDrive.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sosimple:
Yes, if you have unlimited data on your phone and good speeds, there are alternatives. But in many countries those are very expensives and slow speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Aloupha:
I already have a NAS with the same functionality. I had dismissed that as a solution when I first looked into it. Also, I didn't like my NAS's app at the time. I haven't checked it out recently to see how much it has improved.

My main issue with the cloud option, whether I own that cloud or some other company, is that it still falls short of being a physical drive recognized by the phone that you can use freely.

Here are a couple of use cases where the cloud fails, and unfortunately those are the main reasons I use the SD Card for:

1. Unable to set a cloud location on an app. I use the Kindle app to read, and I have a bunch of Kindle books in a folder that the Kindle app loads. I can set the path to the folder on the app. This cannot be a cloud location. It's a similar issue with audiobooks. This is painful since I have to back up this data every time I need to format the phone. The alternative is to use the cloud and sync the folders, and that's also painful. In addition to this, I will have to take time to re-do the setup after I am done with the phone reset.

2. Unable to move an app's data to a cloud location. I could live without this, but I lose the benefit of keeping an app's data intact. This is particularly useful for apps that save your data on the phone only and not on the app's server. I typically move the app's data to my SD Card so I don't have to worry about it. Since I cannot move the app's data to a cloud location, this is a problem. I have to find some alternate way to back up the data and ensure that I always have an up-to-date backup, or I have to remember to take a backup before reset. That's ridiculous.

There are other used cases of course, but these are the main ones.

In case you're curious, here's my setup:

Synology 2 - DS220J - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0855LMP81/ and I have two 3TB

2x 4TB Seagate BarraCuda - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D9C7SQH/

2TB Google Fios
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] kingwicked:
I use WD Excloud 2 Ultra with 8TB (4+4) setup.

I have N20 rooted ( with playintegrity intact)

I have been rooting my phone since Samsung Galaxy S1 days .

1. Being rooted i use Swift Backup Premium Android App. This app can backup every part of the app that includes the complete data of the app portions. See screenshots attached.

I can restore whatsapp or any app. For example my whats app backup is around 10gb in size. Stored in microsd card on N20.

2. I have attached SMB connection in swift backup app to my wd cloud and that allows me to directly backup all apps mesaages call logs etc fully and completely directly and I can restore each and everything back after phone reset etc. I can also backup apps in batch or single as well. See my screenshots.

3. I use mixplorer root file manager to copy past move delete fully use cloud shares. Dont need to depend on app since i can copy any size of file or format to any folder I want. See screenshots. Mixplorer file manager allows to add cloud storage services .see screenshots.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] mmafighter077:
Just put the micro SD card in... Oh wait. 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] TheMystic:
What is the purpose of setting up your phone this way?

Unless you constantly keep trying different ROMs or keep flashing random mods, I don't see too much benefit from a setup like this, especially since you can create something like this (if at all possible) only after unlocking your bootloader, which for Samsung means permanently tripping Knox and several apps not working thereafter.

Can you make a post on how you set up your NAS to be accessible over the internet? I have stayed away from this out of security concerns.

What is so 'painful' about using a cloud sync app? I use FolderSync which does a wonderful job of keeping my data (user files) backed up at regular intervals, several times during the day.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] kingwicked:
I am using my WD Cloud EX 2 Ultra with 2 x 4TB Red Drives by WD. on OS 5. Its just as simple as switching cloud acces on by clicking on a tab thats it and downloading their my cloud os app for media streaming. Then adding The NAS ip address to an app like MX Player for videos, Mixplorer or Samsung my files to just scan the SMB connection add drive and start using as drive.

Have a look at how its done in official video by them

The fact that you have to re-setup the foldersync app after the reset, then sync the data back into the phone. Whereas one of the two options, if possible, would be pretty much less painful (if at all).

Which FolderSync app are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mytja:
Greetings,

everything was fine, but today I decided to upgrade to Android 14 from 13 (Pixel Experience GSI). So I went on and did my usual procedure of flashing the newest image from Samsung and only then going again through the entire procedure of applying TWRP, Magisk and kernel again. Yet, this time, something went wrong.

I cannot continue with my setup of OneUI 6. Everything seems alright, but as soon as I connect to the WiFi, a loading screen shows "Checking info", which I presume belongs to Google Play Services. Shortly after a bit of loading, it crashes, sometimes notifying me "Settings keeps stopping". I wish I could show you screenshots, but I can't.

FRP lock is on, but I don't receive any notifications to disable it, except that I need to connect to WiFi (which I have) as my device might've been "reset by an unauthorized person" or something similar. OEM lock is OFF(L). I've seen a lot of people talk about other states, but virtually no one about OFF(L).

I can install custom recovery and even custom VBMETA, but I think I cannot install any system images until I set up Samsung's OneUI (I can but I didn't have much success even with before tested & working versions, so I think I need to complete the setup in order to be able to flash new image).

I've tried even older Samsung's versions of OneUI 6 in correspondence with SWREV 8 for an EUX device, yet no success. Same issue no matter what I try, so I'm kind of stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] :
Just to note that OEM unlock is partially a device side and a server side set setting. I don't know how its being affected here. No wifi, and even forced time windows after a factory reset, and other things can kick it off or keep it off for a time.

I can't really help you with the rest. I'm not going to work through that. But, hope you find some traction.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mytja:
That's an interesting note.

It turns out custom recovery is why my device didn't feel like booting other GSIs (and even Samsung's OneUI sometimes). I've worked that around and GSIs are now running just fine. We'll see, maybe Samsung will fix this issue in the upcoming releases.

Again, thanks for your help, even if minor.

This sounds like a nussiance, for sure, but don't express frustration if you don't get a prompt answer. People may not know, may not see your question, or may not have the time. The forum leans more developer oriented IMHOP so that if you had a soft bricking issue you'd likely get attention. It's probably something Google did.

About my frustration - I agree with you. That's something I work on lowering but it seems that the older I get, the more frustrated I become.

Developer-oriented - Yes, this forum does seem more geared to developers than to users, and I am embarrassed to ask for help here. If only I could find a forum for Pixel users with a more traditional layout...

The line you posted - interesting, informative, and helpful. Thank you for posting it!

This website used to break down queries by type into different links or folders if you will. Now it's all together with tags. I think this does a disservice to some of the community members for sure as some posts clearly don't get the same attention. I think your post within a subgroup would have had more traction in the past. (If it wasn't obvious, I'm not in favor of xda's latest incarnation.)

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] PPablo:
A couple of days ago my Redmi Note 8 got an alert about a lack of space left in the internal memory while using Google Maps, and after restart the phone it doesn't pass the MIUI logo, it always freeze after the animation and no matter what I do: restart the phone many times, going into recovery mode and restart from there, going into fastboot and send a command from the PC to restart or discharge the phone and turn it on, it doesn't go after the MIUI animation.

I've reached out many technical services, they told me this problem is about a lack of space or even a hardware failure, while the official Xiaomi tech support in my country told me the data is unrecoverable, which makes me so sad because there are photos and info that I need to recover.

I've never installed a custom rom, but also never rooted it and also didn't enable the usb debugging. At the moment my PC can recognize the smartphone via fastboot and send commands using the fastboot CLI (even installed some drivers which later recognize them being installed), also tried MiAssistant at recovery mode but cannot use it because the ADB drivers are installed with error code 10. And a hardware level I've never dissasembled the phone and always took care of it, but the last time I've charged it the phone was very warm at touch which is strange since I've always used the official charger

So, anything that can I try? I don't mind to lose the phone but I really care to recover all the data inside the internal memory
