Hopefully I'm not beating a dead horse, but I have searched through all the Verizon Note 2 forums and I'm not finding a solution I like to the not being able to move apps to SD.
My internal memory isn't full yet, but I can't imagine not filling it up with apps over the next 2 years Plus how stupid that Samsung disabled it!!!
Anyway, I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889550 about directory bind, in one of the SIII forums...is this what we need to do? Will this work? Or do I need to be patient until something comes up specifically for the note 2?
This is what I did it works fine now my external sd is my internal storage http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...sd-card-with-rooted-galaxy-note-2-app2sd-mod/
uh... if you look in the comments people are having a lot of problems. you need init.d support and we don't got it for verizon unless one of the other versions scripts work.

Hello..I have been lurking around here for quite sometime now and since an easier method for root has been found for v3 leakers I have a few questions..I have seen roms that leave sense intact such as plain jane but want to know if swype will work with it..i actually signed up to get the beta version of swype not the ones that have leaked in other forums..also my main reason for wanting to root is to get apps2sd..and read somewhere that the stock sd card makes it harder to do this..true or not?? I really dont want to get flamed for this posting so if there is someone that can genuinely help me out with my questions please do so..
Thanks
To answer your second question our stock card is a class 2, the slowest class and you can't move your Dalvik Cache to your card without a class 4 or it'll be too slow. Really you probably want to upgrade to a class 4 or 6 if you're going to do apps2sd but you can do it on the stock card.
Thanks..Hungry Man..would you happen to know the highest sd card the eris can accept..16 gb? I am pretty sure that I can root my phone without problems but want to make sure I have read enough to understand what it is that I am doing and why so please excuse the newbie questions.
I don't believe there's a limit but 32GB is insanely expensive, 16GB is expensive enough. I would suggest getting a class 4 16GB.
I have a class 10 32GB card in my phone and I do realize the GS II is leaps and bounds ahead of older devices like the G1 and the original MyTouch 3G... So I was wondering if there was still any reason for me to partition the SD card *I have a lot of dead space since I moved all my music collection that was on my phone to Google Music...*
If it's still worth doing what sizes should I set for the partition and the swapfile?
Do I need to run a certain rom to take advantage of this or will it work with all roms?
Or, should I not bother...
Also is it better to keep my apps on the internal memory of the phone or my own SD card? Which will give better overall performance?
Thanks.

And let me add to that, what if one has a 64GB card. Would partitioning increase speeds?
LOL. yes, also a good question ;-)
Can no one answer this?
I left my 64gb card as is. It's functioning quite well for me

Let me ask you this: Why was the swapfile necessary/useful on the G1 and other such devices?
Once you answer that question, compare the answer to your SGS2 and ask yourself if the answer still applies.
Then you'll have your answer to your original question.
Here, I'll save you some time. The SGS2 does not need a swapfile.

Hi, just received the phone today. I'm trying to put some apps and stuff on my sandisk 64.gb but using app2.sd and app manager there doesn't seem to be an option. The sd card is showing in settings menu as 59gb.
How can I put stuff on it?

Why would you want to put your apps on the SD card? There is masses of space on the phones internal memory you'll be hard pushed to fill it.

any good reasons for moving it to external sd????
btw looking at your post count i think you missed a bit of info. sgs3 uses the whole internal memory(11gb) for apps along with user data. so there is no need for app2sd
I just checked as well. I don't see that option with any of my apps using the Application manager. I'm using stock LEF firmware.

It's a standard Android option, so it should have been included in the ROMs that Samsung designed in my opinion. Some people would like to use their 11GB of storage for other things, but have a huge external memory card.....just a matter of preference, no need to insult the person because of low posts.

don't jump to conclusions and make assumptions. I have 32gb on my phone and have used 16gb for apps. So no, 11gb would not cut it for me as well as others. your use of a phone is not the same as everyone. You are not the standard.
Why must the op provide YOU with a good reason to? Are you some sort of phone police?
Either provide a useful solution or find another thread to spread your ignorance.

its not an insult mate.. he might be missing that info hence i conveyed it to him. apart from gnexus and sgs3 all the mobile have limited data partitions which forces the need for app2sd, thats not the case with sgs3.
there are already many threads for this same thing , if the op searched for it he would have seen that info.

your usage also wont set the standard for anyone, i just said the way how sgs3 handles apps.there is nothing wrong in asking a reason.

Because he wants to isn't a good enough reason? Since when does post count determine how much lurking/reading someone has done on the forum? YOU may not have a need to but many of us do, whether you agree or not.

first of all nothing is said in an offensive way but its been understood in an offensive way. If the op has read enough then why do he post a question thats already been discussed? a simple search would have helped him to get other members opinion.
i agree with the point that there are many who read a lot here but dosent posts.
btw, stay on topic and try helping the op if you can

It just gets tiresome hearing people try to dismiss the wants and wishes of another member just because they don't have the same. If we all wanted the same bs we'd all have iPhones for crying out loud. Embrace the differences!
I dont think 11gb is quite big for GAMES, i have installed max payne and its a 1.3gb game, some HD games dont go lower than 400mb.
So yes I need to move apps to the external SD. hoping to hear some updates about this
GL to SD
Guy until the developers find some solid solution you can use GL to SD app from market. It would move the Game Loft games from internal SD Card to External SD card. Although this app is for Game Loft games but it works for any game which install its data files in /sdcard/android/data or /sdcard/data folder.
Move them using the GL to SD and in the settings of GL to SD check the option /sdcard/Android under add mounted folder. Once done then price mount button the top of GL to SD app and then press menu and exit (don't press unmount and exit otherwise it would not work). This would mount your external SD card as /sdcard/android. If GL to SD fail to move the games to SD card then you can even do it manually by copying games data folder from /sdcard/android/data to /extsdcard/data and do the same procedure as above.
I am very poor in explaining things but I hope that I am able to explain it properly.
I'm new to this forum, and I am really scared after watching the video about being slaughtered for posting a new thread. I searched for a solid half hour before posting, and I did not find any appropriate existing threads, although some were somewhat similar.
I am about to get my first Android phone. It is a Motorola Flipside (I am on a budget and I need a physical keyboard; hopefully, if you didn't hate me for posting a new thread you will not hate me for buying a Flipside). The phone comes with Eclair, but can be upgraded to Froyo. When I do this, I know that I will have less than 100MB of free space (could be as little as 60MB) on the internal hard drive, but I am not sure how much less, and I don't want to mess around with moving too much bloatware or rooting. In order to get the apps that I have preselected to all fit, I'm going to need to get them in a certain order. I should get the ones that I can move to SD first, and then get the ones that are not able to be moved.
I have heard that App 2 SD is a good program, although Froyo can probably do it on its own. Do I need App 2 SD?
I am wondering which of the following large-ish apps can be moved so that I don't need to install apps only to be forced to delete them because they cannot be moved:
1. Battleheart
2. Battleloot
3. Modern Conflict
4. Plague, Inc.
I e-mailed the support of each company first [except Miniclip for Plague, Inc. because their website nearly forced my PC to poop itself (see, no swearing!)]. None of the companies replied after 3 days, so I am hoping that collectively the users of this forum have these games and can tell me if they can be moved to an SD card without rooting the phone. Sorry if I have done something wrong by posting this here.

Hi, when you have root use titanium backup. Luckypat..( I don't know i can say the name complete). Search for an old version, new one don't go with the patcher( hoppla). Titanium 5.50 or down.

Thanks, but I was hoping to not root this phone. I basically want to leave it as it is (uninstalling only obviously unnecessary apps), and try to move the extra things I want to an SD card.

If u want 2 use ur device as max, u'll find rooting is essentials as well as buying an android device., don't worry about rooting. U can use DTa2sd script to move almost all of /data size into /sd-ext partition of ur sd-card. & then pump ur self with all android apps.
Now, every week I root 2 deviced, more over it's reversable.

I saw a old thread similar to this but I wanted to post a new one because:
I have a 32gb class 10 San Disk sd card and it doesn't work with my phone. It doesn't readily read, i have to keep on reinserting it, and at times my phone asks to format it because its broken. I use a custom rom (razo droid latest version).
Which 32GB sd cards are reliable and definitely work with this phone? If people reply with one's that don't, I don't mind editing the first post with a list of SD cards to stay away from with this phone.

Already Done Bro
I'm terribly sorry for making such a stupid mistake. Really I am, I know I'm a noob, and unfortunately too many people like me are here, sorry.
Going back to the post, from first hand experience should
san disk class 10 32gb micro sd card work on a custom rom of s5830i?
So what he accidentally posted in the wrong section,everyone makes mistakes... what I find funny is the fact that the people who are making fun of him attempt to do so with what they undoubtedly believe are witty comments and comebacks, but half the time they don't make sense and end up failing completely
To those of you who simply reported it to get it moved to the general section you're clearly more mature than most, especially those who simply have to post cocky comments
Back to the question now, I think 32 gig is supported, I had a problem like yours with my brand new 8 gig SD card it turns out there was a problem with it,i got it exchanged and everything works perfectly now, I suggest getting it checked out or exchanged especially if your phone keeps saying to format it because its damaged or unable to read it
