I have a sony Ericsson x10 mini pro. I'm wondering if its possible to move apps to my sd card, because the phone doesn't have a big internal memory. I heard something about having to root the phone, and doing something to the sd card. Could someone guide me through that, or tell me more about it? How will that effect the apps?
Thank you x
BTW, sorry if this is in teh wrong part of the forum, i wasn't sure what section it came under
I am also trying to find out the answer to this question. All i have been able to find out through search is that one has to root the phone and there is probably just one application superone click that allows you to do that currently for X10mini/pro 2.1 version. However once one has rooted through superone click, how do you then transfer all your applications to the SD card and whether its possible or not is my question. Hoping someone answers soon so i can take the risk of rooting.
There is an app that you can get at the market to enable you to transfer apps to SD..
App2SD and Link2SD.. just search on the Market
and also search the forums for these 2 apps, there are dedicated topics for these with more detailed discussions...
I've tried both App2SD and Link2SD along with a few others... none of them install on X10mini/pro runing on v 2.1. They require some sort of partition on the SD card which i have no idea how to do.

There is no. Of videos of partition of sd card in YouTube.
I m using link2sd and I feel its better than app2sd.
.
If you use Android 1.6/2.1 then you have to use link2SD.
Use this guide for partitioning the sd card
SD Card Partitioning
Or if you have gone to the new Android 2.2/2.3 you dont need these steps, because they are integrated in the OS itself. There are some advantages running 2.2 or 2.3
Good luck
Thank you all... It worked!!!
Used link2SD and created partition on SD card as advised by Tommylee567. Transfered my apps to SD Card. Only issue i am having after the root is that Skype is giving me problems. Have to take the battery out to reset the phone and stop it from ringing continuously whenever someone calls me on skype. I didn't experience this problem before though.
Anyways atleast i got my apps transfered to SD Card.
Thanks Tommylee
I have partitioned my ad and installed link2sd. However it gives an error saying the 2nd partition not found. i have followed all the steps correctly and my mini pro is rooted. Can anyone help? Please!!!

Ive just rooted my phone, and did all the backup procedures. going to install a new rom.
was thinking of installing villain 1.5.0 froyd.
just wondering what is app2sd and do i need it?
Apps2sd let's you store android applications on the SD card so you can have more installed without running out of space .
Moved to q&a as not development
sorry didnt realise was in wrong thread. so it alows me to put apps on sd card, i thought that was a feature in android 2.2 (being able to save apps to sd card), thus was under impression that if i donwloaded a 2.2 rom like vilainrom 1.5.0 i wouldnt need app2sd. is that correct?

Well, froyo does let you use the built-in method, but the EXT method is generally accepted to be better, since your apps don't disappear if you mount the SD to the computer.
You can use the froyo method if you wish, but I don't know of anyone else who is using it, since EXT also puts apps on SD that don't have the "please put on SD" flag set since they're older, or the dev didn't want them to go there.
Up to you.
thanks guess ill use the app2sd method. just not sure how to set this up. need to do research
Hi:
So i just got this rom on my Eris because I started having some problems with the KaosFroyo with my text messaging. But anyway I can't figure out how to move the apps to the sd card. When I go to Applications and Manage Applications it doesn't give me the option to move it to sd card. I have root rights. I just don't really know how to do it on PlainJaneT. Does anyone know? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Janeth
On the OP the Apps2SD is a separate download. On OP there is also a description of Apps2SD and some adb commands that may be useful.
[ROM]Plain_JaneT2 V2.0 7/18/10 Stock With everything ROOT!!

I tried running the command a2sd install but it gives me some error saying "cannot remove '/data/.noa2sd': No such file or directory". I am kind of lost with the whole adb a2sd thing. When I try the command 'adb shell' like it says on the instructions it says Command not found. Not sure what that is all about. Is there another way to move the apps to sd?
I believe you have to reformat your SD card in order to use Apps2SD. You may want to make a copy of your SD card first and store it on your computer. When you format the SD card you will lose all data on the card.
P.S. I think you have to be on Froyo (Android version 2.2) or Gingerbread (2.3) to use Apps2SD. It will not work on Eclair (2.1) or earlier versions of Android. If you happen to be on version 2.1 there is a service called link2sd that frees up internal memory.
I already did that before I got the new ROM so I don't think that's it. Any other ideas?
Actually I don't really know how to even use that lol so I am not even sure how to use it to move the apps to my sd card.
If you are not familiar with adb, this may help you. It seems like a lot of info. Take your time and go step by step - it's not that bad.

You either need to install the Froyo update (since moving apps to the SD started as a default feature in Froyo) or root your device.

Use this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en.
root check said "congratulations this device has root access"

Great, so that means your device is rooted. Now just use this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=en.

Use the app to transfer whichever apps you want to the new partition. Also set it to automatically link new apps to the sd partition, if that's what you want.
If you're having trouble, just Google it. There are hundreds of guides for using Link2SD, and thousands covering all kinds of ways to move apps to the sd card. Here's one to try.
Hello everyone I have a Hisense Sero 7 Pro 8gb with a 32gb sd card. Model number M470BSA android version 4.2.1 Build number P756.6.02.20.00 kernel 3.1.10. Today I decided to root the tablet using the following method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2297246 and since is my first Android device that I rooted I followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf0HZhrGMDU and everything worked perfectly (I suppouse)
The reason I decided to root my tablet was because I have 700mb left on my internal storage and when trying to install a 2.4gb game from the play store It said that I didnt had enough space even though i have 32gb left on my sd card. I downloaded Titanium backup to move some apps from the internal storage to the SD card but the option is not there, the only option available under move is MOVE-¨ INTGRATE UPDATES OF SYSTEM APPS INTO ROM¨ and theres no move to sd card option.
Is there an easy way to solve this? I am a noob to this so I would apreciate your help.
Thank you.
Try Link2SD. Just be sure to read the directions or find some guide on-line.

Aparted (and other apps) can partition your SD card from your phone.
BTW, Link2SD can not only move apps to SD, but newly downloaded apps can install there by default. Try that with your big game, and you might not have to mess around with moving everything else.

I made the 2 partitions and link2sd is not recognizing them and the install in SD card is not working either.
Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me out.
I'll start up by saying I know nothing about phones or programming so I'd appreciate your inputs if you have the patience to teach a laic
I bought Xiaomi Redmi3 and I'm so far very happy with the phone.
The only thing is I'd like to move some apps to my SD card since the phone only has 16GB.
I read somewhere that since the phone has multilanguage ROM it already has root. It comes with an app called "SuperSU".
Does this mean I can move stuff to the SD card somehow and not break the warranty of the phone?
Is there any way to move stuff to the external storage without rooting the phone?
Thank you so much!
same problem here

Hi, i recentely have tried to solve this problem. As far as i know miui doesn't support any kind of app on the SD.
However, with a rooted phone, i tried to use App2sd.
To use it i had to partition my 32 gb sd, with a first Fat32 partition (almost 20 gb), a Ext3 partition (almost 10gb), and a swap area (almost 2 gb).
App2sd used the second partition, the Ext3 one, to move apps in there.
Everything worked flawlessly, but when i rebooted the phone the MIUI didn't load the second partition (so App2sd said) and so i lost every app i moved in there, without being able to reinstall them (i recieved an error from the playstore).
Surely there may be a solution to the problem through the use of the app, however i'm not good enough to find it, and so i reflashed the miui and rolled back to the previous situation.
