[Q] Is there a mod to install apps on external sd - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to install apps on external sd instead of the intrenal 16 gb memory ?
Thanks in advance !

YES! After you install the app go to Settings>Applications>Manage>X Application> Scroll Down> Then move to SD card.

swapping over in applications just moves the app to sd memory of gs2 -the 11.5gb on 16gb models but doesn't move the app to External sd. if somebody can explain how to move apps to external sd CARD that would be great. funny, some people say when they transfer apps in settings- applications to SD card , they do move to External sd card (ie 32gb card). can't work it out why they move to phones internal sd card -by that i mean they stay in the phones memory....can you help?

[Q] Best way to move apps and games to external SD ?

Hi guys,
I have many Gameloft games and apps and I'm looking for the best way to move it to the external memory (I have a 32GB Class 10 MicroSD card).
Thanks
Try apps2SD from market.
Thanks, but it can only move apps from the phone memory to the internal sd and not from internal sd to external sd...
Did some one try this app by any chance ?

I can see 3 kinds of memory in my SGS2 (except from the 1Gb ram). Device memory (0.98GB used/0.98GB free), Internal SD card storage (11GB used/726MB free) and External SD card storage (my 32GB microsd card).
I want to move some of my apps that on my internal sd to the external sd... the apps2sd can only move apps from the device memory to the internal memory...

[Q] Unable to move apps to INTERNAL USB STORAGE.

I can only think of using a usb cable and manually storing in Internal SD Card.
Is it possible to partition the internal usb storage so as to use it as an external sd card ? Or can we change the default installation location of apps to Internal usb storage.
Please note that I am not using an external sd card. So i would like to move/install apps to internal usb storage. I have also read that many android phones have this option "Move to usb storage" under application manager.

Try taking out the data from the sd card, removing the sd card from the phone, and moving that data to the Internal SD Card. I don't think Shostock3 has that option.
I have all my apps and data installed in internal storage (i.e. 2 GB storage). But unable to move them to usb storage. I haven't mounted any external sd card. The storage is as follows :
Internal storage - 2 gb which is almost full because of apps
USB storage - 11 GB of which 9 GB
is occupied with audio, video and other files.
I seek to use this free space of usb storage for installing apps.
Try the app Move2SD.

None of the apps allow moving of apps to usb storage. They could only move them to external sdcard.

I found the solution for you. Try going into applications, click the app you wanna move, and click Move to SD Card. If it moves to the external card, remove that then try. It works for me.
Without external sd card mounted, when i click move to sd card; it says "not enough storage space". But with external sd card mounted, I am able to move apps only to external sd card and not usb storage.

That's imo going to be your best bet. Just manually move your apps to your usb storage through your pc.
Also, if you have ES file explorer, have you tried to use it to move your files to the usb storage?
Thanks for your replies. I have mounted an external sd card and using link2sd to move apps to it. One thing I noticed that with sd card mounted, when I move apps to external sd card, some part of the app moves to the usb storage and also the app size increases after doing so. However, still there is no direct way of moving/installing apps to usb storage without an external sd card.

free up storage space
A simple way to free up storage space is by deleting all the log files in the device memory. Just dial *#9900# on your phone and select option 2 “Delete dumpstate/logcat” in the prompted menu. It's not necessary to root your phone either. That’s it!

FYI, this code only works on Samsung-based roms; it won't work on AOSP roms.

[Q] How can I move my apps to sd card

I'm trying to find out what I have to do so that I can move apps from internal SD card to my external SD card. On my old phone it was an option available when you click on an app in setting I could move app to SD card so I could free up space on my internal SD card memory and be able to install more apps. As it is now I have to

Need Root!
What kdz do you have? If you have a p769 20f kdz or (lgms769 10b) You can enable it by adding
Code:
ro.lge.capp_move_sdcard=true
to the build.prop (/system/build.prop)
Please make a cwm or twrp backup before messing with the build.prop

Apps won't really move to external sd card.

I'm running neatrom kitkat build , I was running out of space on 2gb app partition so i started moving all large apps by using " Move to SD" option in settings. To my surprise all the apps were moved from 2GB partition to internel sd (11.50GB) instead of my external SD card. WTF? I've around 6GB+ of free space on my external sd card so what's the damn problem?
What's the point of inserting micro sd card when you're unable to move your crap on it. Funny thing is that Android wants you insert micro sd card to move your apps to "Internal sd card"
Any solution?

This is not a bug, but it is more of a feature of android. The reason why apps are not moved to external sd card is because it will take longer to load your apps, especially on boot. Also, there will be a much higher chance that you will find that your apps are missing as android is unable to load all of your apps fast enough.
