Archos Fusion Storage: a Flexible and Innovative Means to Extend Your Android Product Storage

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Archos Fusion Storage presents a solution that merges internal flash and a microSD card into a single storage pool by dedicating internal flash for /data/apps and transparently moving /data/media onto the inserted microSD (with an optional migration). It implements a custom UnionFS layer, boot-time checks and smart storage balancing so new files are written to the card until it fills, supports KitKat and Lollipop, handles encryption, avoids the 4 GB FAT32 file-size limit, and requires a vendor-level install plus reboot.
