I'm new to Streak and StreakDroid 1.9 is my first mod. I found it strange that there is no apps2sd or equivalent on this mod. How do I move all my apps to sd?
Barely 20% apps suppport it by default. Rooting is all about choice, and without apps2sd, its quiet difficult.
Either download the free app or just go into settings -> applications and select whatever app you want to move. Once you select it you will have the option to move to SD card.

why would you really want to move your apps to your sd card.
They become unresponsive after that. Why not just change your internal card. Or not even that, who in the world is gonna install 2 gigs worth of apps?

Really? I've 100+ apps and you are telling me I dont need them?
When did sd card go slow? If you have good sd card with sd speed increase app, it outperforms internal flash. Don't live with FUDs.

Is it normal that on my p500 non rooted stock rom 2.2 (froyo), when i pick the "move to sd" option (on the applications>manage applications thing, you know), a small part of the app stays on my phone.
Like, if a 3mb app was installed on my telephone's internal memory(it would say like "app size : 3.00 mb" or something, and I move it to the sd card, then it would say like " app size : 959k" or something like that.
And i think these 959k is the part that stays on the internal memory, and the rest goes to the sd card.
Am I right, and if I am, can someone please tell me how to move the FULL app to the sd card??!!
Move full app is not possible, there always some of app's files will stay in internal memory.

RE:
Thanks, but is there a way to move the full app to the sd card ?(even if I have to root my lg) Thanks in advance
Not unless you use a method like link2sd.

Even link2sd will leave some little bit of data on the phone's memory. I think you are looking for Darktremor's apps2sd. It works like a dream But has long boot times.

itll take more time to start up your phone
My phone boots up in like 4 minutes with apps2sd. 1 minute 30 seconds with link2sd. I think it has something to do with the Dalvik cache. Both work very well though. I found myself installing too much stuff that I wasn't even using...
If you really want lots of space for all your apps, apps2sd is the way to go. Just make sure to have a fast memory card (at least class 4).
Hello,
I was installing several games and apps today, and in the end i have under 200mb of free space, but on the sd card i have about 28gb free space... Is there any way to "transfer" the installed apps and games data to the sd card?
Tks
No, not until we get either root or (I believe but I may be wrong) ICS will we be able to install apps to the external SD card. You can put movies, music, pictures and whatever else you want on there so make sure you do, and save as much space as possible on the internal 16gb usb storage for apps cause you're gonna need it!
Some apps and games will let you transfer. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, then click on the application and select transfer to sd card if it will allow it

I think this will still leave it on ram as it won't trancfer to sdcard2 - that's what it looks like to me.
I have the Verizon Note2, 64GB SD Card, rooted and bootloader unlocked. I do have 300+ apps downloaded currently. When trying to install another one just now from sd card- an .apk file- I had a popup saying I was Out Of Space. I know it is trying to install it to the phone's internal memory, which it thinks is full.
Is it full, and do I really need to remove some other apps? I know JB doesn't let us move the apps from internal to sd, so what other options are there? I am not comfortable altering the framework- nor do I know how- to move the apps to sd. Can I move them with Rom Toolbox Pro?
Thanks!

You can't move apps to SD that way. You can do a swap though. The phone would read your external card as internal and vice versa. I am pretty close to doing this myself as I am fighting for app space.

300 apps? Wow, thats a ton. I have maybe 20-25. I'm sure I am on the low side.
unlocked Note2 and Tapatalk
Does anyone get the low memory pop up after doing the internal external swap yet have plenty of space still available ?

So how do you do the internal/external swap? Link to info please?
Hi,
I have a 32G SD card in my TS and was wondering if it is safe to use an app like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd
To move apps to the SD card to free up some space?
Any downsides to doing this?
Also, is the above app the right choice or is there a better app?
Thanks,
D.

I've used the Rom Toolkit from Casual Operative for it and so far the only problem I've had is I needed to move my preferred keyboard back to the phone for it to stay selected as the default, and Enhanced Email back for it to remember my work email account (at least, I think that's the culprit...I just moved that back over just now). The other caveats I know of are you can't move over apps that supply widgets you're using or apps that are system apps, and if you reflash while you have apps on the SD they end up still there but without the phone knowing about them (wasted space).
I just stumbled upon it and I though it might be useful. In order to move an app from your phone's internal storage to your SD card, you just need to
1) open Settings -> Apps
2) Tap on an app
3) Tap on Storage
4) Tap Change
5) Tap SD card
PS: Obviously apps will take more time to open (the delay is noticable in facebook).

You don't even need to do that. Just long press any app then >app info>storage etc...

Welcome to Android! :silly:
And for anyone tempted to try, the onboard 64 gig is far faster than any SD card you can currently buy. Many apps will run poorly, if at all. Moving apps to the SD card should be an absolute last resort, right after you've figured out which apps you really didn't need in the first place.

I tend to agree, I moved a much of apps to my SD now things run much slower I regret doing so.
Moving apps to SD is soooo kit kat....
Depends on what apps you moved i guess.
Ive notified NO CHANGE on the apps ive moved. WhatsApp is on the SSD card and behaves just as it did on internal.
Let's see.. samsung internet , Firefox, textra, all amazon apps, google drive, instagram, Snapchat, outlook, pandora, OneDrive...
NO DIFFERENCE at all.
Now there was one app, samsung gear 360, it did NOT like to be on storage card (kept force closing even though i was not using it when this was happening) so i moved it back to internal.
Also not ALL of the apps data is moved to the SD card. Some data of the app still lives on the SD.
EDIT: i dont use crackbook aka Facebook, so i cant speak on that, but i use WhatsApp, for example, and it opens up normally. No lag. None of the apps i moved are behaving out of normal. Again this is dependent on other factors, but in my daily use environment i dont notice any lag.
I also dont use the memory and storage optimizer (killing apps in the background from running)...
The internal storage is faster than sd unless you can find one of their new faster sd cards...if you move a lot of apps you may see performance loss...

I can't move WhatsApp on my S7 edge. Being wanting to. I get my N8 tomorrow, so even happier if I can now move it
Hey liquid guru
I can't move any apps with my 8.1 rooted phone ...
Is there a thread I'm not able to find on this.
Thanks
