you can use link2sd app from market, remember you need an extra partition in your sd card
Is there any other way to move apps to ExSDcard?
Hoe can I partition a 64 GB ExtSdcard for proper apps installation and how can I mount both partitions
TITANIUM Backup Pro has an option of Moving apps to SD ( I have done it BUT I dont know WHERE it PUTS THEM because I DONT find them in the ExtSdcard)

Look at the big thread about the sd card. Its a known issue with the s3 that apps cannot be saved in the ext.sd at the moment.

Go to this thread, its has a mod that allows moving data to external SD Card you will need root

I made a 1GB partition on my 8GB micro SD using cmw. I move the apps to the SD but not all the data is moved. For example, I have an app that's about 10MB, I move it to SD and there's still about 5MB left on the internal memory. Doesn't happen with all apps but that little extra memory adds up.
Is there a way to fully move the app and everything to do with it to the SD card? Most of my apps are installed on the SD but there's still a lot of internal memory being used up. I also read about a way to force the apps to SD. After I tried searching for it, I couldn't find it. Can someone help me on both questions please?
Summary; what I'm asking is, What is wrong with how the apps are being installed on the SD? How can I force non-moveable apps to the SD? Is there a way to move all the app data to the SD?
The app I'm using is apps2sd free. https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hMHNvZnQuZ3Bob25lLmFwcDJzZCJd Or is there any other app you guys recommend?
EDIT: I just installed Link2SD and it just said that only 16MB are being used on my 2nd patition. What is going on? I thought all my apps were installed externally? I'm so confused :/
Even i have same problem

If you want the entire app to be housed within the sd card then you should be using a2sd by Darktremor.
see if u r using link2sd , it links .apk , dex and lib files.....
and also install all apps on INTERNAL MEMORY then link them.... that way they will use your ext partition...... and check link automatically in link2sd....... apps will continue to use some internal memory but that was minimal when i used it.........
So if I link them, they get stored in the internal memory right? Then what's the point of linking them? And when they're moved to the sd card, why don't they get moved to the 2nd partition? Which one saves more space, linking them or moving them to the sd?

See now u hav 3 storages : Internal , EXt, and ur remaining SD card memory... since u already alotted 1 gb for apps .... thn why to move your apps to sd ?? just link them with the help of link2sd.....they will then occupy ur ext partition.... ( though apps data will be still on internal) ....
and also like you link few apps and expect to see a rise in internal memory.... you wont see rise until you reboot... wither quick reboot from link2sd or full reboot....
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!

Ok.Very useful.

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.

Hi
i just rooted my sgs2 and i got 16gb external sd card, i have seen lots of good apps and i want to install them but before that i have read that some people recomend to install apps2sd to save space on the phone but other said that with that amount of space you dont need to install this app, also i readed that some roms dont support the app, so its good idea to install apps2sd???
I really like apps and i will check 3 or 5 roms. If its a good a idea, should i install first, before any other app??

I don't know apps2sd.
But it sounds like it moves your apps to the external sd card.
That can also be done with stock Android system: Setting > Applications > SD card.
Then click on the app you want to move and say move to sd card.
I had some apps on my external sd card, but some apps are loaded a little bit later/slower, when they are on the external sd card.
So, I recommend that all apps, which you need very often and especially direct after booting the phone, should stay on the internal sd card.
And after flashing some "early" ICS Rom versions, I lost my apps which were on the external sd card.
I had to re-install them from Play store.
But this was only an issue of some ICS ROMs/kernels, and should be fixed now.
Anyway, that caused me to move all apps back to the internal sd card.
I just want to be on the "safe side" ;-)
you should absolutely not install app2sd (the app of that name), because the functionality is already present in all roms.
in settings -> apps you can move apps.
however, in contrast to the previous post, apps are moved between the /data/ partition of the internal sd card and the /sdcard/ partition of the internal sd card.
as you might know, /data/ has 2GB, /sdcard/ has about 12GB. You can check on your current storage space occupation in settings -> storage.
if you have enough free space on data, leave your apps there, as sdcard is a universal storage space, that can also contain music, photos, videos and so on and since this space is also accessible to users that are not rooted, it is more versatile and therefor more valuable.
Since both partitions are on the same sd card, you don't have to worry about speed differences.
After moving some apps using apps2sd I had to restore a nandroid because it messed up my system.

great i wont install apps2sd, but now what kind of files or info is recommended to be in the external SDcard?
I have on the external sd card my movies, music, photos and videos recorded with the phone camera, my titanium backup folder, few custom rom zip files, nandroids etc.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
^Ditto. Keep your media and big files on external SD, keep your apps on the internal app memory if you can (its around 2gb in size, unless you go over that there is no need to put apps on SD).

Pretty much a obvious question for most people . Do install it ! It moves apps to SD ( wow ) , clearing space for many many other stuff . So , why not install it ?
Thank me if i helped ~
well iam fully loaded an my opinion is the app notifies u wen u install a app,but on the hard core side wen many apps r moved to sd ,ive crashd sometimes..i think it was better if there was a option to store apps directly on the ext sd card instead of phone or int sd card...
Try GL to SD from the market, posted a threat like this a month ago and someone recommend me this.

Ok, apparently my internal card is filling up quickly... How does one go about moving things to the sd card? Or is that not an option as of yet?
Running LiquidSmooth at the moment and all rooted out...
Folder mount is the best app for this.

personally i dont like folder mount i use link2sd app and yes it does work for the s4 you just cant make the ext on the external sd from the custom recovery any more you have to use the pc program to format the external sd to fat 32 and choose how ever much memory you want for that part then make the ext part and then also choose how much memory you want for that part go through the process then once you launch link2sd it will ask you to select the ext part of your external sd and there ya go you can now create symbolic links between your apps and external sd theres a guide floating around on the internet just look up how to use link2sd app
As far as i know, in kitkat apps are restricted from accessing other folders in sd card. but they can read and write data to their own folders in SD card isn't it? so y am i unable to move all the data to sd card? like in asphalt or something, cant that app move the data to its own folder in the SD card?

Yeah that's not possible .Its how it is....only apk move to SD card not the app data. You shud just root and then use Folder mount
Low end phones are much better with root access

HELP.!!!!!!!
How can i move pre-installed apps to sd card??? My phone is rooted...
pre installed apps are usually placed in system folder
the updates of those apps can be moved to sd card using link2sd
in order to move the entire app to sd card, the system app should be converted to user app
heard about another app called folder mount with about the same usage, but personally haven't tried it yet
