Between the guidance from SemihAbi on 04-06-2020 11:43 PM in a different thread and this additional tutorial, I was able to get this working.  One thing that stumped me for a bit, was that I needed to copy more than just the number into the command SemihAbi showed, you need the full "disk:###,##" where ###,## is the number you see. 

I did one more thing that neither SemihAbi or the tutorial mentioned, but may have been part of the solution.  When in the "Developer Options," I turned on "Force allow apps on external" which is way towards the bottom of the list of options.  After a reboot, things were working so much better.  Good luck!

Any update as to if this worked? I have an A01 coming on Monday to replace my dying Moto G4 Play. And really need to have my apps on my SD card.

@usernp39YA7jLq  No this has not resolved my issue. will not buy an entry-level Samsung device again.

There's even a hidden menu in the settings that you can access.  It's called developer options and it has a setting that claims it will force allow any app to be stored on external storage. It doesn't do anything though.  If it did I couldn't tell anyway.

Last  Samsung I'm going to buy if this is how  they  treat us as current customers.

This quick guide will help you to storage APPS + DATA on your A01 phone:

Do ADB process:

commands to set SD Card as internal memory

the command line you need to change from above is:

sm partition disk:179,64 mixed 50

Change disk:179,64 to the resultant value from sm list-disks adoptable

mixed 50 means capacity left (in %) for files on SD Card (50%).

After that, reboot your phone and try to move Apps to SD.

after doing this, moving apps to sd not enough space

@userYHaiQnGTrL please follow this:

Go to Developer Options > Enable Force allow apps on external

Reboot the phone.

Tell us your if that solved your problem.
