Hi all,
I just flashed BAMF rc4.9, was moving apps 2 sd when it said my sd card is full. However, the card still has 18gb free. Any ideas? Do you know where/what folder app 2 sd stores files? Do the old application files prior to full wipe of the phone still the use space on the sd card?

After installing some apps I've got a message suggesting to move them to SD. I thought it happens automatically. So do I have to decide to do it now? Also I tried to move some of them to SD and they ended up on my external SD card not on the internal 16Gb one. Is it possible to choose where to move? The problem was that after reformatting my external card I have lost all apps moved there and had to reinstall.
Hello there guys,
i tried to install some apps but i could not, the phone show insufficient memory.
So i opened aplications-manage applications and unsuccessfully tried to move the apps to SD CARD (which i believe is the internal storage of phone, i don't have SD Card). I was surprised with this because there is plenty of space available. any idea what can i do? i cant install apps and neither transfer them to SD.
THanks.
Hey, hmm yeah i can see how that would be an issue. lol
But the SD card referees to an external memory card not your internal memory.
You can install a micro sd card (up to 32GB) into your samsung galaxy s2 through the back. You'll have to open up the back cover
Some apps seem to install to internal memory by default, and some to sd card if one is present.
Even more annoyingly however, many of the apps that default to SD card if you move them to internal memory MOVE BACK TO THE SD CARD when you update them.
Is there any way to prevent apps from automatically installing to the SD card? Or at the very least, installing to SD card is fine... but to prevent them from moving BACK to the sd card when you update them?
I've seen this question in 3 different topics on XDA and none of them is answered. My question is similar to this; Apps are installed on internal memory but app data is on external. As a result i have a completely empty internal memory and a full sd card. Tried possible suggestions on other sites but didn't work. Why can't we choose where to install the app data? How to move the app data back, since app2sd wouldn't work on this situation.
FYI, buy a bigger memory card is NOT a solution, it's a workaround for the actual problem..

Looks like your problem can be solved with "link2sd" which gives a permanent option on where to install apps. Search it in Google Play.
In my case (i have three different memory blocks) you have to do a repartition and a custom rom but i don't want to go there so i just mapped the drives with editing vold.fstab and bought a bigger memory card
Good day guys and hope you can help me with this. Im running Miui 2.1.6 with Siyah kernel 3.3.1, my problem is my internal sd and external sd cards being swapped or thats how the system views it. whenever i try to move apps from phone to sd card whether via app manager or apps 2 sd it moves my apps to my external sd card which is annoying. im only using my external sd card for media and not for my apps. after moving those apps it creates a .android_secure folder on my external sd with .asec files on it. im assuming that this is a problem with how the phone identifies my internal & external sd cards, i tried removing my external sd card and again tried to move apps to sd card and it says it doesnt have enough space which is crazy because my sd card has 6GB free space on it.
I just got this device. I can only move apps to SD card but what about those with huge data files? I tried putting data in SD card but it again redownloads files on phone storage? I am not rooted currently and I don't find any settings regarding installation storage settings.
