It is not possible for now, but there is a way out.
Since you have Resurrection Remix, I'm sure you have Root access
Install Titanium backup or app2SD, and move your big apps to SD.
Note: do not move Home launchers, or Widgets to SD, it will break their function.
solved!

Thanks! good idea!
Partition your sd card and get an app called link2sd
IRONY = XDA app, buggy and doesn't work properly!

The I9100 only comes with about 2gb of internal space of which is used for apps but I've almost used all of it and I read the moving apps to sdcard might break the apps. What should I do?

u can always use a third party app from store that can do the moving apps to ur internal sdcard wrk and see, since they can show which apps can be moved and which cannot
u can try 'Gemini App Manager' and see
Depends which rom u are using. If its stock rom u can use apps2sd which will as the name says move ure apps to an external sd card, saving u space on your phone. If ire using a rom like rr it wont work on it.

Use titanium backup pro to move some apps to SD,
Note: Don't move widgets and launchers to SD, it will break their function.
Good luck
Hi, this is a dumb question, but I want to do a clean install of Jellybeans 14 (or 15 when it's released).
After the install, is it advisable to restore apps/settings through Titanium backup or a similar application? Or do you guys reinstall all apps from Google Play and reset all settings manually instead and start fresh?
Thanks!
A lot of people do it both ways.
I personally use Tibu but only restore the apps. There were a few apps I used to restore data with the apps and after having bugs with those apps I just decided to use Tibu to install the apps without data. I do have a separate backup folder that has full app and data backup just in case I would ever need them.
Most people recommended using Tibu to restore apps only but each phone is different and you may have no issues when restoring apps + data.

I usually restore data on games and a few other apps that are difficult or time consuming to set up. Otherwise, I just restore apps.
Thanks everyone!
I have a couple more questions:
Do I have to install a ROM downloaded into the external SD card, or should it be installed off internal memory?
If I do SD Swap, which directory should I download the ROM into?
Thanks!

I always put the ROM I am flashing onto my external SD but thats just cause I have more room there and like to keep a few different roms. As for SD swap the only thing I know about it is that it absolutely will not work on AOSP ROMS, but for flashing I dont think it will affect anything. I could be wrong though.

Tips from me. After installing apps, quickly link to sd. Why? That because when your internal memory smaller than your application data you cannot link your app.

Try move to sd app. you need root permission for that.. It wil work :good:
Link2SD needs ext2/3 partition to work...I think :/
Sent from my MsM7xxx usin BCM21553...
No it doesn't. It only requires an ext partition when you 'link' apps, as what yusrilramadhan has suggested. Moving apps to the SD card does not require an ext partition, rather the app is moved to .android_secure as a .asec file. The app data is left in /data.
You can access these .asec files in /mnt/secure/asec, provided you have root.
Link2SD can both link and move apps to the SD Card, while a host of other root apps can do the same, such as Titanium Backup.
If I remember correctly, GingerKat is a CM7.2 ROM, which means that you can move apps to SD through settings (provided you change some CM settings) but this is generally not recommended.
while formatting sdCard in Mini Partition Tool, did you make both partitions as active?
if not, it wont work
Is it possible to install apps to your sd card?
At this point I'm unable to download larger apps (2gb+) due to the smallish internal memory of the phone. An example App is Icewind Dale, I'm able to get the apk and install it, but it will not download obb data to the sd card at all.
Thank you for any help!

If u r on ur stock ROM then go to apps, scroll sideways to find SD Card press the check box and then tap move to SD Card

Try link2sd. I can change the default install location but mine's rooted. Move as many of your other apps to SD as you can.

Root required
I don't think this is possible without a rooted phone. Oh well!

What I've observed is that some apps can be moved to SD and some can't. Being rooted and having link2sd helps, and link2sd will let you set the default install path to SD (with root). But some things like Chrome can't be moved. I think it has to do with hard-coded paths in some apps and not others. And then there's the Android 5+ nonsense about not using SD to promote the cloud. Might be worth looking into Ubuntu instead of Android. Sadly, Google is a company making decisions they think will maximize profit. Ubuntu doesn't have a vested interest.
2 gigs for one app, no way would I want such a thing unless I had a terabyte of internal memory. That's bloatware.
- I have a rooted Asus ZenFone 5 on 5.0
- I partitioned my sd, 2nd partition is ext2
- I successfully linked apps using the app Apps2sd
The problem:
- On reboot, the apps don't work.
- This is because the obb link of the app is shown to be broken(in app details, the link picture of obb is shown to be 'cut').
- Soft reboot doesn't solve it, nor does recreating mount scripts.
Only thing I could do is link the app again, and it works, but on reboot, the same problem comes up again.
How do I fix this?
You can't. Those files were never meant to be in external storage. This is due to the way android loads the memory.
Only option is to update to an os that adaptable storage.

So will this work(linking and not breaking) with apps that are naturally movable to sd card(i.e. moveable to sd from Android settings)?
And what OS could I get to change that? Cyanogen? RR?

Not really. Apps are really not made for sdcards. As for the OS you will need something that uses 6.0 as a base.
So marshmallow allows apps into sd? No problem with linking and rebooting?

It as adaptable storage. Which means converting your sdcard to be system memory. Does it work? Couldn't tell you. None of the devices I buy have an sdcard slot. And oem have hidden the feature or removed it all together.
So... either I get a custom rom with 6.0 without any guarantee that it actually works(and lose my data), or just be stuck with this problem on lollipop.
Another question, this problem will persist even for the apps link2sd and foldermount? I ask because they might use different methods, I can't confirm myself as my apps are already linked with apps2sd.

Yes. It is due to the way the os is set for mounting and reading the sd card. The whole OS loads before it reads the sdcard. Once all apps and data are loaded does it scan the sdcard. Not really alot you can do about it. I just wouldn't bother with moving things to the sdcard. Devices now generally come with plenty of storage.

True enough, guess I'll only link those that hog up too much space. Thanks man.
Btw, does titanium backup create backup of linked apps too?

I am not sure. Like I said. I have not had a device with an sdcard slot in like 5 years or so.

Okay, thanks a bunch anyway.
Dalvik VM might be the problem. ART VM isn't causing any trouble. Though it takes a few more seconds to start the linked app, the rest works smoothly.
