Sprint-ROM Manager won't use ext sd card - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Has anybody gotten ROM Manager to use the external sd card instead of internal phone storage? My box to use external storage is greyed out and won't let me select it.
Thanks

Kenny,
5.8.4.9 is still having limited issues here, previous version 5.8.4.7 will see both cards. But .9 at least is rom manager ready...hey, I think you told me that!

So it is not possible yet and we are waiting on Rom Manager/CWM to update still?

Correct, looks like the i9300 has a version 6.0.1.0 dated July 20...so I would venture the D2SPR will get one this week, but just a guess

I came from a 4.1.1 ROM and I backed up and formatted my card to Fat32,I'm now running this ROM and now my card isn't allowing me to restore anything from it, I can see it but can't do anything with it, no error message or anything.... I'm so confused... Please help ASAP
If you switched to a 4.2.x rom you wont be able to restore anuthing due to where 4.2 roms store info... due to the multi user modes.

I'm confused, what ROM are you on and what ROM, are you wanting to go to? as far as your pictures, all that is so on your sd card and will be if you flash that zip fin the cm10.1 thread. They are just stored in different directories. The 4.2 ROMs have different directories then 4.1to make multi user possible. So before going any further answer my last question and we'll get you straight.

{ROM}{PORT} Avatar ROM {ROM}{PORT}

I have taken the e975 international Optimus G official rom by avatar and ported it to our AT&T E970 until they make an official build for us. this rom is pretty bad. the theme options are much like Miui and they have many great features built into it.
Go to their website for the full low down on the rom and to request new features and themes and if you are a themer please make some of your themes available on their format.
Avatar Rom
I'll add the full details later tonight i'm in a rush for a BBQ and cold beer this afternoon but saw the avatar admin said i could post this port up and wanted to get it out to you all
I used our CM10.1 as a base so its using the cm10.1 kernel and any other kernel that ran on it should run on this but i have not tested it yet so beware and make backups
I used BANKS Gapps and have had no problem yet.
*****Known Issues****
- jb calling bug
- on initial install the external SD isn't recognized (I used the SD card fix from when codefire and others didn;t see the sd either. the link is below and i'm working on a permanent fix this week
-a few of the about phone/rom info is wrong. i'm also fixing this later this week
**Install Instructions**
1) Download the rom, gapps, and SD card fix from below and place them at the root of your SD card
2) Boot into CW and make a nandroid. i also recomened using Titanium to backup your apps
3) Wipe dalvik cache, system and do a full data wipe as well
4) Select Install zip and choose the rom file
5) Install Gapps if you wish
6) Install the SD card fix
7) Reboot into the ROM and let it boot up
8) boot into CW and restore your data if you so desire.

Put your Micro SD in your PC and !back your Micro SD card up!, install Acronis Disk Director and format your Micro SD from exFAT to FAT32.
You will lose all your data on your micro sd card if you format it. Back it up!
CUSTOM ROMS ONLY SUPPORT FAT32.
IT DOESNT SUPPORT exFAT.
:thumbup: Good luck!

Also it could be due to a bug in the rom. Try reflashing the rom if the method mentioned by the poster above me doesn't work.

Put AppData onto your SD Card

Hi guys, so i ran out of storage on my mega 6.3 and found out it was the googleplay music data, so i just looked for a solution and ran over this:
watch?v=lYFw9bEAzM8
I am not allowed to put a link it in it, just put youtube . com infront of this
It's really easy and may help to put huge appdata like games and music pinned with google play on your SD Card. :good:
With a 64GB SD-Card i can install any game and put any data onto my phone now
(Sry for my english, I am from austria)
Hopefully I helped a little bit

I don't have 9205 but have 9152 mega 5.8. By default the latest 4.2.2 already has transfer app to sd. Then to transfer game data I use gl to sd. Of course root is required. Folder mount also works but I have not tried it.
I also use folder mount but there is also an thread here that switches your internal and external sd.
Only problem is that after root i can not do OTA updates anymore.
But i think kies does work.

The question is app DATA you mean the latest fw can move the game data such as the obb folder? And without root?

I don't know about without root, my Rom has root as well but the official one should be the same.
I am not sure about the data, would that not move with the app? If you run from SD would it not store it on SD? I am not a gamer so I don't know but you could try it, the Rom is an update anyway.
Ok so you have not tried it with game or any app data separate from the app. If the app data is on aseparate folder like "obb" folderthen itwill not move. This is also true with music files and backup files of titanium backup for example.
Gl to sd is the app to use if the app data is separate from the app itself. But the TS does not want to root so I think there is no way yet. Previously on 4.1.2 there was external to internal app but does not work anymore on 4.2.2.
I do know Titanium is movable, you set the place to do backups in the settings.
Anyway there is another thread stating what I already said here- that the MJ2 does not move the obb folder/data only the app.

Surely where the app puts its data is down to the app not the rom?
Previously I used a phone wherein application installation can be installed on the externalsd by selection or by default. So a rom can be programmed to do so. I don't know how difficult will that be to code on the mega and similar phonesbecause of the emulated internal memory though.

increase internal memory galaxy ace (URGENT)

OK so i have searched for info on increasing the internal memory of a galaxy ace s5839i and there seems to be a lot of info regarding partitioning so i downloaded minitool partition and created a partition on the SD card then used link2sd but this isn't really doing anything, when i try and download new apps larger than the available storage which is 25mb it comes up with the insufficient storage sign and when trying to link the internal apps that came with the phone it just says failure so i would greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer me as i am doing this as a favor for someone and they are picking the phone up tomorrow

Flashed cwm and made an sd partition using that and i can create links on apps now but larger apps (40mb+) still wont download on to the phone it still says insufficient storage
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Ok i have now linked most of the apps that came with the phone other than system apps and it freed up 90mb which is a big step up from 30mb i had before partitioning however when i download new apps they are not auto linking despite having checked the auto link box and when i do auto link i have to reboot the phone every time to make it take proper effect. Also downloaded apps use up less memory when i move to sd card rather than linking
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Been playing around with link2sd and i am impressed its working great the internal memory from the phone keeps changing for some reason that's why i thought it was still taking up a lot of memory but once the phone is rebooted it balances itself out however the apps are still not auto linking i am putting this down to apps automatically downloading to the sd card rather than internal memory so link2sd is unable to create a link for this, any advice on why this is happening will be greatly appreciated

Some apps are usually installed on SD Card. Sadly Link2SD can't link the apps installed on SD Card. Hence you have to move such apps to Internal memory in order to link them. Also because you are using the stock rom which has no init.d support, you have to reboot everytime for your internal memory to stabilize. If you want to install as much apps as you want, then try CronMod Unofficial Script. But for this you need init.d support. CronMod Unofficial will not work on stock rom. All custom roms have init.d support. Just download any custom rom from the link given in my previous post. Download the CronMod Unofficial.zip from the link below. Now go to CWM, do Format data/ factory reset, Format cache partitions, Mounts & Storage> Format /system & Format /sd-ext, Advanced> Wipe Dalvik Cache. Now mount /system from Mounts & Storage and then install the rom from SD Card. Now remount /system and then install Cronmod Unofficial.zip from SD Card. Done! Just reboot and you can see that your internal memory has increased. Now you can install any number of apps as long as you have free space on the ext partition. Make sure to install only necessary apps as installing a lot of apps will ultimately slow your device. Here is the link,
Cronmod Unofficial
Hope I Helped
The person im doing it for doesn't want a custom rom so is there no way to direct apps straight to internal on stock rom? Hes taken his phone back hes happy with it for now but would be better if apps are automatically linked. Now i can go back to using my nexus 5 lol

You can also install a custom stock kernel to get init.d support to your stock rom. Try Rafeal Baugis Stock kernel. Here is the link,
