Dear Friends, is there any way I can move application to external card on my Galaxy S3? No apps can do this for now. Any ideas would be welcome. Thank you.
You could always use Android Commander to pull the apps to your PC and then put them on your SD card. You may also be able to use Titanium Backup to do it, but I'm not sure about that.
I would be interested in doing this as well, maybe there is a way to directly install to extSD?
Installing apps in SD card I dont know but you can use Titanium backup to backup them and restore back after a fresh flash install I think..
U can move apps to sd with app2sd hack or with a couple different apps from play store
I think app2sd is useless in S3.
This topic has been discussed many times already. You can search the forum to find those.

Hi
I recently flashed my phone to 2.3.4
Before flashing I moved all my apps to the sd card. Now, while the apps are still there, the phone does not list them in the 'Manage Application' section. It does read the sd card and when viewed from My Files shows all the app folders to be there. No data could have been wiped off since I had removed the sd card when flashing.
Any help will be really appreciated. Had some 150+ apps and may have to redownload them again :-(
I think you have to install them again

You "moved" them, you mean, you have the apk files on your sd card? I think you have to install them again. I have never use it, but I guess titanium backup is good for apps backup. I have already done mine, but I still don't need to restore it so I dont know really know how it works ahahaha
I downloaded them from the market and then moved them to the sd card before flashing the phone! I guess the apk files never got moved. Might have to reinstall all of them! :-(
A portion of app data is in data/system. Flashing removes all these files.

Hey!
Next time if you want to backup or move your files or apps, use TITANIUM BACKUP. After Flashing you can EASELY move then back, where they WAS.
But for now, you must install them AGAIN.
CHEERS!
Thanks everyone for your help! Will be wiser the next time round

it doesnt work it reads my usb memory as a SD card , my sd card is 8 gb and it reads my usb memory as 11 gb
I don't understand You Have Usb memory and SD card ? can you explain ?
there is plenty of space for apps on sgs2 .. so you dont need to install them on your SD-Card ...
the internal SD Card is much faster though .. so you will have more fun starting them

There are several methods(whatever method you will need root) , one is swapping the internal and external memory card so all apps will directly install into the sd card(there are several threads on how to do it, I think there is an app in play store too) , and other method is using a third party application like directory bind.
Edit:
A simple search gave me this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010152 it contains the vold.fstab file for your version too.
You should try searching properly, If one man can do it, another can.

Hi
Someone plz tell me how to move fb and whatsapp in SDcard. From Manage Application Move to SDcard option is disabled also in App2SD unable to transfer it.
Is it possible????It consumes a lot of space....
For moving apps those do not support to move in SD by default, you need root access on your device & then use any app such as "DroidSail Super App2SD" to move them forcefully to SD card.

Moving facebook on sd card every time you open it, it will erase the data and you will have to repeat the account access.
If you have rooted device, you can use titanium backup to move them to SD.
The app has been moved to SD card, but i am not sure about data stored by these apps.
Data was still in phone memory, i guess.

How to do this ?
Easiest way is to use cwm recovery..there is a option partion of sd card click that u will ask about the size,preferabaly give 512mb that it press ok ur sd card partition is over..otherwise use windows minitool partition wizard but u need pc to do it..just google it u will get the procedure to do it.. and one more thing ur sd card content will get erased so backup ur sd card contents to ur pc..

Hit Thanks if I Helped
I reply here because I spent a lot of time searching through very old posts and trying outdated methods. I didn't know that actually today there is a very easy solution to move whatsapp media folder to SD card. It perfectly worked on my Samsung Galaxy A3 A320FL:
1) Root (I used twrp + magisk method)
2) Download "App2SD" (the original by Vicky Bonick; it's free) and follow instructions on how to create partitions
3) Use "folder mount (app analyzer)" feature, which apparently was not considered in the old posts in this forum, so I suppose it was recently added to Apps2SD.
It's like folder mount, but it's pre-set for some common apps, including Whatsapp. With this feature, you can successfully move Whatsapp media folder to SD, in one clic.
In my case everything worked fine. When I reboot I have to re-mount folder, but it takes one second (just open Apps2SD, tap Folder Mount, slide "whatsapp other").
Hello all,
I'm new to this forum. First of all, let me thank you for the amount of documentation and useful information that you have here! Nice job!!
I've been following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2254358 for moving my apps into my SD card.
I expected a lot of free space as I was moving facebook, twitter, google play services and some other, but after moving them, the apps seems to be installed in my SD but I don't get any free space...
am I doing something wrong? any other way for movind apps?( I've read about link2SD, but it needs a partitioned SD card and now I don't know if, after repartiotioning it, I'll get the same results...)
Any other stuff that I can remove from my interna memory?
TIA,
Arnau

Bro follow this guide. It works great. Here is the link,
How to increase the Internal Memory
Repartitioning will delete the existing ext partition from sdcard, then format you sdcard and finally creates a new ext partition to the sdcard. So it will work for sure. Hope I Helped
Hello,
So, the Titanium Backup workaround does not work
Seems that I should start from there, even before installing custom ROM. (I guess I could do a backup of my apps and then restore).
Anyway, I'll try thant and take the opportunity to upgrade my ROM (I realized that I installed Ace-i-sure 8 instead of latest (12).
Thnaks to both for you answers,
Cheers,
Arnau

Hello,
I've got a quick question because I didn't found any methods that helped me out. Is there a way to move apps to my SD card?
YES, root acces is available. I found some threads here about the SD cards but like I said nothing helped me out. Could someone explain it to me? Btw I also installed the KitKat Fixer for the SD Card.
Thanks for help...

I tried they all! But they doesn't work for me. Link2SD for example freezes my phone when it I go into the standby (after making another partition)
Nope since 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 it aint work anymore and not even with app2sd or link2sd !
