How can i set my sd card to default phone memory i.e how can use the sd card as phone memory is there any chance?
By saying default phone memory, I hope you're trying to say that you want applications to be installed to SD Card by default. Correct me if am wrong. In that case, you can follow the steps below.
1) Root your phone
2) Partition the SD card to create an ext partition
3) Use Link2SD application to link applications to the partition created above
4) Set Link2SD to install applications on SD by default.
thanks

Hi Team,
I have updated my Xperia X10i to 2.1 recently and rooted it with single click root.
My android has many apps installed so thought of moving them to SD card.But when i open the app2sd application,it prompts me to partition the sd card.When i select the space required and apply-it reboots and its the same.Prompts me to partition again.
Please help me in partitioning the card without affecting the data in it with any simple application.Im a newbie to android.
U need to partition your sd card frst in order to use app2sd... Check this link mate http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
+1 and works a treat with "Link2SD".
Resize existing partition first (i.e the full card is denoted as partition 1) the you will have "X" sized partition to which will be "unallocated". select that partition and click "create", "ext2" "primary" and then hit apply Recommend class6+ card for best results
Hello All,
Just got a white one without any external SD-Card (the micro SD) installed. I was able to root it using the CF-ROOT V5.0 guide which is an excellent resource for noobs like me.
Using the CWM (which shows in the applications menu after the root) I was able to take phone complete backup.
Now the confusion begins that even though there was no external SD card installed the backup took place and then it was saved in
Code:
/sdcard/Clockworkmod/backup/folder_name_date_time
Infact /sdcard is the home directory to start with, which is shown when I browse files using the built-in file manager called "My Files".
So when is there is no SD-Card installed, why is the internal home directory called SD-Card , where the nandroid backups are saved automatically ? (i guess the internal storage is also called SD-Card, is it so ? bad naming idea then)
Now I did install a 2GB external SD-card and formatted it using the storage options within the settings menu.
So apparently this (actual) SD-card is mounted in the directory called
Code:
/sdcard/external_sd
Then again I tried taking a nandriod backup hoping that it would automatically detect this available external sd card and would save the backups, which did not happen and the nandroid again took backup to the internal SD storage.
So how to direct nandroid to take and place backups on the external SD card.?
Secondly I have also read about the Sd-Ext partition, can someone please explain what is this partition , how is it made, and what is the benefit of using this partition. Can i make it a default location for installing application and what other uses can I have of an SD-Ext partition.?
Do i need App2SD and Link2SD in order to use SD-ext partition for any purposes.?
If I take a backup again using nadriod would it place it on the SD-Ext partition or the left over space in the regular SD card partition. ?
Thanks a lot for reading and clearing up my confusion mentioned above.
Internal card is named SD card in CWM .
Me i just copy the clockwork backup folder to PC and External SD card .

Well,
Thanks however I am hoping some more details to satisfy the specific queries I had, waiting for the gurus to shed some light.
Thanks again.
I wanted to know if there is anyway to move apps to SD card or to set install location to sd1...
My internal storage is more than 80% full (almost apps but no media files)..
Model: Z2 D6503
Android Version: 4.4.4 rooted
Download and install "Titanium Backup". Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
Open the program and click on the options button of your phone and click on batch. You'll see a number of operations followed by a run button after each one. Scroll down and you'll see "move all user apps to SD card", click on run and you are done.
Remember:
Without partitioning the SD card, you will always have part of the apps on internal. With partitioning the SD card, you can move the entire apps to SD card.

After partitioning the SD card ,phone didn't recognize the sd card
Then I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sylkat.AParted&hl=en ,and it worked for partitioning..
But Titanium backup doesn't have "move all user apps to SD card" option so I used Link2SD and Link2SD recognized the ext2 partition but after moving apps to SD card ,it says your phone doesn't support move apps to SD because its primary external memory is emulated from the interal storage..
I have been using Link2SD to move apps to the external microSD card. But not many apps and I still hit the internal memory limit. Then I discovered that Link2SD can effectively increase the internal memory if I created a second partition on my microSD card and let the Link2SD use that partition as a virtual extension of internal memory. So I created two partitions on my microSD card.
The problem is that my phone (rooted, 4.4.2 stock ROM) refuses to recognize this arrangement and complains that the SD card is damaged. When I let the phone's default app format the first partition, it removes the second one and formats the whole card as partition.
Anyone has a solution or suggestion for me? Thanks,

Could you please explain with a bit more detail? I have checked the Play Store, there are several apps called "sdcard fix" or similar, but they all say they solve the microSD write problem with KitKat. My problem is that when I create the 2nd partition on my SD card, the phone does not even recognize the first partition. Link2SD recognizes the 2nd partition, but it does not recognize the first partition either.
I have checked foldermount, and it seems to do the same thing as Link2SD but it looks like a lot of manual work, identifying folders and creating symbolic links on the SD card.

No folder Mount does it automatically it moves file to SD card and tricks the system. Its fairly simple.
Use app analyzer and click yes to everything. Seems to me you're putting too much thought into this.
1st partition must be fat32 and 2nd partition ext2, both partitions set as primary.
But as sugested, download a sdcardfix from playstore (makes external writeable again), download foldermount paid version, a lot easier.
I need to install my app on sd card with data and launcher, so that it can be used on any another android phone/Tab.
How do I achieve this?
I willing pay for an app/ script that will allow me do this or information on how to do it.
You will need to partition external sdcard creating additional ext partition for apps and regular fat partition for media.
Then use link2sd to move apps from internal memory to ext partition.

what you are asking I dont think, in fact I'm sure cannot be done as the actual phone/tab needs to be the 'thing' that installs the app, ie knows it has the app installed. THEN the actual app and data can be moved to sd card. Kind of like a marker, you could install an app on phone/tab A and move to sd card, then put the card into tab/phone B and install it there and move to sd then, I think, the same card can be exchanged between the 2 devices.
