apps to external sd card. - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Can you move apps to an external user installed SD card? Or are you limited to the internal extended memory?

There are a few options, search for Link2SD thread here at XDA for more info on one method. Sorry I can't point you right to it but I don't know how to scarf up a thread URL with Tapatalk. I'm almost certain all the methods require making a 2nd partition on the SDHC to work. The Link2SD thread has a howto for that so even if you decide on another method you'll be partly ready with your SDHC.

SD Card Question

so i rooted with a 4gb sd card in my nook, will i have to re-root my noot tablet if i upgrade to a new micro sd card or anything? i would post this in development but the forums do not allow me since I have less than ten post. Thanks
Root is applied to the on board storage and swapping out the sdcard will have no effect.

no it will not effect your root

[Q] Move apps to external sd

Hello!
Im sure that i'm not the first person who post this, but i can't find a similar thread with a good answer.
The most threads like this go like this:
"Person A: OMG! My internal sd is almost full! How can i move apps to the External Sd card?
Person B: Go to apps and move to sd
Person C: No, thats not correct, you only move the apps to the internal sd and not to the External sd."
End Of thread
So I ask it here and hope i get a answer that's really useful:
I just moved to the S2, and i installed some awesome apps from gameloft.
But Gameloft's games (and other 3d games) are pretty huge! I only have 2 gb left on my Internal SD (Usb-Storage).
Soon i will get a 16 Gb Sd card from samsung, but how can i move apps or their data to the External sd? The only app i know that can be moved to Ext. Sd is Spotify.
Is there a mod or rom that allows you to move to Int. memory, Int. Sd and Ext. Sd?
Or is it mayby Possible to rename the Ext. Sd card to for ex. Android or Downloads?
If its not possible to move apps to Ext. SD, what can i do with the Ext. Sd?
And Why gives samsung a 16 gb card if you can't move apps to it? Could they not better give a 32gb Sgs2?
Thanx in advance!
Btw,
If this Question gets a good answer if it is possible or not,
can the moderator make this a sticky thread?
That wil save some time from the ppl who just get a Sgs2!
(I really searched some days before i posted this)

What you are looking for is not supported by any Android system sofar, that to install the apps on external SD ,
But android is allowing you to create an additioan system partition which called "SD-Ext" on your internel SD card which enables such phones which are having very low system memory.
"SD-ext" is defined as:
sd-ext
This is not a standard Android partition, but has become popular in the custom ROM scene. It is basically an additional partition on your SD card that acts as the /data partition when used with certain ROMs that have special features called APP2SD+ or data2ext enabled. It is especially useful on devices with little internal memory allotted to the /data partition. Thus, users who want to install more programs than the internal memory allows can make this partition and use it with a custom ROM that supports this feature, to get additional storage for installing their apps. Wiping this partition is essentially the same as wiping the /data partition – you lose your contacts, SMS, market apps and settings.
But unfortunatly any of the current SGS2 ROMs are not supporting to do this.
the maximum you can do is what JJE has recommended.
Aww.....
I forgot to thank you for your post.
Thanks!
Will this be supported by any rom? Soon?

Move GameLoft data to External SD
Just found this app as I was wondering the same thing, and the app works treat. GL to SD is what you want, and can move some app data from the internal SD and phone storage to external SD. It's free in the market, and damn glad they have it!
Thanks!

Music, movies, media, videos, pictures, etc?
Maybe.
You can easily create fat32 partition then ext2 partition.After that install link2sd from playstore and voila.All of your apps can store directly to EXTERNAL SD.

I started a thread back in May when i got the phone. Since in SIII they have one partition now for all apps the app2sd is not required. If you see you'll have one huge SD space 11.gb available for all apps and that's the SD card so you dont need or can't use app2SD.
But I have already used the SD card (phone's) 's 3.4 GB solely for Apps. Now I want to transfer the bulky apps to the "real" microSD card. I hope It was possible...
you can use the app from google play; gl to sd!
it's working great but you need to have ROOT

Helly Bean external SD issues?

I've been running HB and following the dev forum regularly. I've heard of people having external SD card issues. I am wondering if I am having these issues too. When I try to move an app to my SD card, it moves it from one partition to the other, not the external SD. Is it supposed to do that or am I having the external SD card issues?
Thanks in advance.

The dev shrunk the partition for the app storage (USB storage) I think... so when you move to sd your actually moving to the internal storage. I'm kinda new hear also but I read in the jb threads they did it for performance I believe. Hope this helps

The internal SD is setup with a system partition a data partition and a datadata partition that between them takes up about 3gb. Leaving around 13gb left on internal SD. The system part is basically the apps from ROM. The data and datadata is basically apps you DL and use. So when you move an app to SD you move it from the data part to internal SD.

[Q] Is there a way to move apps to sd card?

A couple of days ago I remember seeing a thread for the GS3 on how to move your applications to the SD card.
Now, for the life of me I cannot find that thread. Can anyone point me to it? I have been searching everywhere.
If I remember properly it included a flashable zip to be able to do this!
Thanks!
Do a search for 'Directory Bind' - Personally, I can't get it to work but I know lots of others can.
Use GL TO SD.. Easy to use

Root External 2 Internal SD https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext
Works well but root needed, I now have 64GB internal storage and 11GB external so no problem with lack of space for games
