Saw this method on another thread and just wanted to give more view because it's really easy and worked flawlessly on my rooted mini jit enabled.
Just download the .apk of move2sd and install after patitionning the sd card; for partition i used mini tootl partition wizard from here:
My sd card is class 2 and all works like a charm!
Credits to bakpinar who developped the tool and sur1k that told abut it on the mini forum.
EDIT: Updated to last version 1.5.x

Good effort "rikirix". Link to the original thread by the maker of the app "Bakpinar" is here.
@Tehouster
It is convenient and may be better (I haven't tried apps2SD) than apps2sd.
1) It allows to choose which apps to link to SDcard. Doesn't allow system apps though and one don't need that too.
2)The app is convenient to install & use. No command line. Simple install ".apk".
3)Can move any user installed apps from phone to SD card and vice versa at any point time through the app.
4) Working very well in my x10 mini (with latest firmware) with 16gb class2 Sandisk card with 800mb ext2 partition.
5) Constant upgrades by the developer.
6) No need to have a clean install of firmware in phone and no need to format card for making ext2 partition. Can use partition manager to resize and create a fresh ext2 partition in existing phone firmware.
The app is worth trying and will make x10 mini a bit more usuable in absence of Froyo.

O Lord! And I Just DESTROYED my phone by trying app2sd... Wifi is giving me errors. TitBackup says the phone is not rooted anymore and now i see this thread! If only i had seen it before...
Now i'll have to reflash and loose all my settings... :/
tryed it works great.
the whole title needs to be in capitals.
also i think it should be in the develop section.
i tryed different scripts of app2sd some never worked .the one that worked slow down my whole phone i gave up.then i saw this thread..................
thanks to both the maker of the apk and the poster who pointed it out.
This work, Its much easier than app2sd, though you need to restart everytime you link an app, but still works like a charm. Moved Angrybird to sd without a hitch..
Thanks.

It seems that this thread its not getting proper focus. You may change the caption to a more catchy one like "MOVE ANY USER INSTALLED APP TO SD CARD" or similar.
Moreover, I would request the MODs to move this thread to themes and app section which appears more appropriate. Most of the users are still running behind apps2sd, I don't know whether its intentional or ignorance. Anyway we may try to help more mini/pro users by trying to highlight this thread.
Thx for the link! Got it working on my X10 mini pro! Awesome!
i have used and it is nice but the problem is that you cannot install apps directly to sd, for larger games like NFS shift it is a problem.

Didn't know that. However, the advantages of Link2SD surpasses the disadvantages for me. May be some more problems (like yours) will be taken care of as the app gets upgraded. At least lets hope so. Even, I learnt from some Froyo user (in the original thread) that Froyo doesn't support HS Widget once the app is moved to SD card whereas this app cooly supports HS widgets. Great!

I wondered if anyone could provide me with better instruction on how to install apps2sd on the x10.
How may partitions?
what size?
swap partition?
can it be done without losing all apps installed?
I have asked on the apps2sd thread, the instructions on there are not very helpful and i have had to restore my phone using recovery loads of times, the last time I forgot to but the recovery image on my sd and had to reflash completely.
Any help would be great

Hi Guys,
Finally our tablet has been rooted, lets just list out the benefits of ROOT. My wishlist is as follows:
1. Ability to take screenshot.
2. Change fonts.
3. WhatsApp. (Success) CLICK HERE
4. Use Xperia Arc Timescape/Launcher, etc.
5. Moving game date to external SD card.
I can use AdFree t oget rid of all the stupid adds that takes cpu-power.
I can use Titanium Backup Pro and it's full power.
Root Explorer
I can get rid of stupid bloat-ware that is filling up precious storage-space.
Hopefully this can lead to maybe an unlocked bootloader to able recovery and custom-roms
To name a few things
Increase battery life with build.prop and sysctl.conf tweaks.

You can do this using Root Explorer.
Navigate to; system/ create a new folder called app.old.
Then navigate to system/app and pull all of the system apps that you don't want, move them into app.old folder you just made.
By doing that they are then uninstalled, freeing up valuable space. You could always copy them to your SDCARD then onto your PC, I wouldn't delete them as they may be needed again.
I'd like to post a "Tweak you Sony Tablet S" thread at some stage with a custom homescreen theme and system tweaks.
Yep, looking forward to getting rid of all the Sony junk off it!
Root's failed for me though, been on XDA for a while, but not got my 10 posts yet to report it in the dev forum!
I think we can now look for a way to use the microUSB port as micro HDMI. I read some where that it can be done if we have root access!

Having root available changes the game.
If ICS OTA update removes the root (which is very likely to happen), then it will be possible to figure out manual update to ICS, which saves root rights.
I've seen it happenning on HTC View, where expoit was only available for GB, and then there was a way to update to HC and still have root rights. Not thru OTA though.

link2sd shows internal/external built in memories and does not look at the physical sd card - so I could not make it work. maybe someone will do an extra script to mount physical sd instead of built-in one and not as sdcard2 - I saw a post about it for rooted tranformer or similar honecomb but cannot find it again yet - good night

ROOT IS NOT UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER
TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROM / CUSTOM RECOVERY NEEDS UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
Yes root is great and it probably helps but its a separate issue to getting custom roms
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
so with this root, can i store games on the external SD card and play it off the external SD card?
Allright, so we got root now! I really enjoy it, since I had struggles with some bloody sony software...
But! What would make me really happy is an unlocked boot loader... So maybe someone who can post in the devs section can copy my post! But I'd like to pledge 15 dollar for the one who can unlock the boot loader
Maybe this is the way to speed things up, and we can run custom roms! So we don't need sony's ICS update. And we won't lose root when it is coming
Greetz!
Ok I am not a nooby to rooting and have done it on many devices.
I will say this though I have never seen so many different ways to root one device.
So far I like the sd card root method. But any way here are my questions.
1. what is the best way to Root? Possibly the Sd card way?
2. How Do I repartition the Nook To be able to Utilize the 13Gb of space on it
3.Is there a way to sideload the Android Market (Google Play)?
4. How do you put on CWM
5. What is the most stable Rom that gets rid of bloatware and feels the most like Gingerbread. If its CM7 which version.
If you want you can just point me to Thread links. I am not afraid to read or anything. Its just that there seem to be 7 ways to everything I just asked about and its a little confusing to know which direction to go.
So any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.
1. The SD card way definitely.
2. Easiest thing to do is take it to B&N and have them do it. You can do it yourself though with this thread.
3. If you only root, the sd card way of rooting will automatically add the play store.
4. Indirect has an app here that will allow you to flash CWM or the stock recovery (the latter option is good for if you ever need to return the device to stock conditions). Simple and easy. This app is actually included with the sdcard root method (it'll be on the sdcard after you burn the image to the sdcard). So once you are in the B&N OS with root access, you'll be able to use a file manager to find the apk for this app, install it and then flash CWM.
5. CM7 Final is the basis for the other CM7 roms. CM9 is cool too though, albeit hardware acceleration does not work yet so things like Netflix and higher end games do not work. I've also listed all current roms that are out for the nook tablet here.
It sounds like you have a decent idea of what you're doing and possibly some experience with Android so you know the drill. Read thoroughly and follow directions to the T and you will be fine. Good luck.

Holy cow your awesome!! Thank you soooo much. Have y'all considered stickying those threads? You guys have alot of information here. One more thing. If I am understanding you correctly your saying that if I use the sd card root method, it automatically puts on google play? That would be awesome if it does.
Again thanks a million.

Actually looking at the list of apps that is included with the root script, it doesn't seem the play store is listed. Regardless, its trivial to add.
And if you decide to go custom rom, its as simple as flashing gapps after you flash the rom.
---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------
Google mandates that the play store and other google apps cannot be included with roms. However, you can fetch google apps from here and flash them after flashing an AOSP rom like CM7 or CM9. Just make sure you flash the right ones (i.e. cyanogenmod 7 package for CM7).

is there any pitfalls if you partition the drive where you have all 13 gigs available to you and none for the B&N section of the tablet?
I called B&N and they said if they partition it they do about half and half and will not give you access to the whole Hard Drive. Boo!!
Basically, if you opt for more "media storage" then you forfeit space for /userdata which is app install storage.
This step:
Give a value between 11.6 and 13.6 that will leave you with>> 11.6GB: 4GB for /userdata | 13.6: 2GB for /userdata

Basically portrays the min/max potential here. If you opt for 11.6 "media" storage, then you will be left with 4GB for app installation. If you opt for the max, 13.6GB, then you will be left with 2GB app installation.
You could always redo it as well I believe.

I thought these changes were made to the rom but maybe not. If these lines in your build.prop file are different, change them to look how they're shown in this post and you should be able to mount the internal media storage and your sdcard.
Note that if you decide to try cm9, there is no support yet for mounting the internal media on a computer.

I was able to complete item#1(sd card root method), without a hitch. It looks like the only place to flash cwm (item#4) is internal mem. Is there a way to flash to an sd card, so I can choose to pull out sd and boot to stock rom if I wanted to? Thanks
...or maybe I can already boot to CWM from this sd boot, but I'm just not doing it yet(don't know how)?

Edit:Made a new thread, seems i had more questions than i thought...
Just a quick question don't wanna make a new thread for this:
What i want to do is extend my media drive for my own books and videos and also id like to Root via the sd card method as mentioned in the 2nd post here.
I'm wondering in which order to do it all though.
1. should i get adb tools working first doing the first part only in this video (as instructed in this thread i think?)and then use the CWM included in the sd-card method?
Or
2. Start with the sd card method and then install adb tools and extend my media partition?
Also do i need to worry about the Tools part which is the 3rd thing you need for extending your partition, unless something goes wrong?
Hello everyone,
I've (CF) rooted my S3 only to move app data to my extSD card. The official stock firmware (JB 4.1.1) is still on it, and i would like to keep it that way (serves me good). I've tried directory bind and Link2SD.
Both of the apps don't work (or i'm to much of a noob to get it going)!
Directory bind just moves files from one location, but when i start the app, it gives me a error (in this case, tomtom).
Also the alternative management options in this app, dont give me tools to "bind".
Link2SD makes links (on the second partition of the ext.sd) but doesn't want to move the app data to the first partition of the ext.sd The error is "insufficient storage space", but there is over 27gb of (fat32) free space. The second extsd partition is 2gb of ext4.
Am I doing something wrong, or is the official stock FW just not up to the task?
Greetings, RedKingCrab

i have the same problem, but as i know this is some new bull**** in the System or maybe just on Samsung devices.

It seems that some versions are not well supported yet. Maybe in a couple of monts it will. I'll try again later on, including GL to SD.

If I manualy wanted to install a apk file, i got an error (not enough memory )

Has any found a way to move or install apps to the SD card? I know there is a fix for the GS3, but due to the locked bootloader there is probably no chance it will work on our Notes. So far it seems like the only option is to bind apps, but this seems tedious and probably not useful for smaller apps.
Apps2SD is not an option right now, there is a way to bind the apps and extra data and run them from the ext. SD card. Check out this current thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262

But I know who a guy who did this on his Sprint Note 2 and he did it on someone else's Verizon Note 2 and he said it worked on the Verizon one too. I don't know enough about anything to know if it would work without doing it myself and I'm not brave enough to try it yet.

Yeah, that is the way I was talking about in OP. It doesn't work in 4.2 either, so after update (however far that may be) it will be pointless to set my phone up this way/will just have to find a new way.
It sucks, from browsing around it looks like there really isn't a way.
After I posted my original link I found mentions of two other apps, the last one I already mentioned but it was commented that the first two may be alternatives as well. Its worth a read.

Not that we will get it for awhile, but isn't link2sd incompatible with 4.2?
That would suck, but it sounds like it works with 4.1.1 and hopefully 4.1.2. My GN2 is on Verizon so I somehow think we would be luck to see 4.2 a year from now.

This is initially why I strayed away from this app. I guess I have no choice now. ~10gb is way to small for all the apps I like to have on my device.
I agree, I will be d/l this app and using it on mine. I will worry about the 4.2 compatibility issue when its time to cross that bridge (if it ever comes to it). I want all my games and stuff and 10GB is a joke today. Honestly I don't know how Nexus 4 users can get by with 8GB on a phone once formatted and OS loaded what do they have left 4-5GB, ouch.
What about Titanium Backup?
Doesn't TB have this option?
I have not tried it yet, but this is one of the reasons I was considering paying for a full license...
Titanium will not work on this device. I changed the Restore location to External and it just hung up while trying to restore a simple app.

I followed the above while on S3 and worked really well. Perhaps a Dev can modify it to work with GN2.
I bought Titanium and tried to move to SD ... my phone made a noise and vibrated, but no files were moved. Well at least I have the pro version now lol.
There's always Directory Bind!!

Post 3 had the above link. So I downloaded. Now, I'm running Beans ROM, FYI. First thing, make sure Busybox is installed. I installed from Market and did Normal Install within Busybox.
The Apps2SD script was initially saved in Download. I moved it to /System/etc/init.d folder, using Root Explorer.
Install SManager as stated in link.
Browse as Root
Went to System/etc/init.d folder. Select the Apps2Sd file and click on SU & Boot...click on Save. Reboot.
That should do it. Went to Titanium and it shows my 64GB as my internal storage. Installed Dark Knight Rises and it's going to my microSD card.
titanium backup
Titanium backup does it save your apps to sd card, I had 33 and clicked move and it shows them on sd card now, unless its just sayin and really didnt move them, theres a app that showed them moved, but from what I see they are moved
I found another app mentioned on the forums here, from what I have read it seems to work with JB 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 but will NOT work with JB 4.2 so we have something to use while we can. Links2SD https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=en I have not had a chance to test it yet, but others have said it works.

I've tried it. I think people may have been mislead into thinking it works. I have partitioned my card as Fat32/ext and both are primary. I chose my ext partition and it mounts. It shows that it is there, HOWEVER, when I create a link (tried it on all my apps) it says that the link has been created/files have been moved, however, when I go back into the storage info, the device shows the same amount of GB/MB on the internal and external.
Can anyone confirm that the files are actually moved, or is this just like app2sd?
And as far as that App2SD script goes, it is nice, but I don't like tricking the system to thinking ext is int. It seems like there would be some issues with this.
