I have the Verizon Note2, 64GB SD Card, rooted and bootloader unlocked. I do have 300+ apps downloaded currently. When trying to install another one just now from sd card- an .apk file- I had a popup saying I was Out Of Space. I know it is trying to install it to the phone's internal memory, which it thinks is full.
Is it full, and do I really need to remove some other apps? I know JB doesn't let us move the apps from internal to sd, so what other options are there? I am not comfortable altering the framework- nor do I know how- to move the apps to sd. Can I move them with Rom Toolbox Pro?
Thanks!

You can't move apps to SD that way. You can do a swap though. The phone would read your external card as internal and vice versa. I am pretty close to doing this myself as I am fighting for app space.

300 apps? Wow, thats a ton. I have maybe 20-25. I'm sure I am on the low side.
unlocked Note2 and Tapatalk
Does anyone get the low memory pop up after doing the internal external swap yet have plenty of space still available ?

I'm new to Streak and StreakDroid 1.9 is my first mod. I found it strange that there is no apps2sd or equivalent on this mod. How do I move all my apps to sd?
Barely 20% apps suppport it by default. Rooting is all about choice, and without apps2sd, its quiet difficult.
Either download the free app or just go into settings -> applications and select whatever app you want to move. Once you select it you will have the option to move to SD card.

why would you really want to move your apps to your sd card.
They become unresponsive after that. Why not just change your internal card. Or not even that, who in the world is gonna install 2 gigs worth of apps?

Really? I've 100+ apps and you are telling me I dont need them?
When did sd card go slow? If you have good sd card with sd speed increase app, it outperforms internal flash. Don't live with FUDs.
Hi can someone please help me out.
i have just inserted a new sd card in my phone,
ive already transferd a few files to it so i no its working.
well im using the application app 2 sd to move apps , well i have apps that it says can be moved but when i click on them there is no option for sd card and also i get a message saying: the device does not have a real primary external storage, or primary external storage is emulated
can someone help me please
anyone? :/
Could be a copy sdcard card, loads kickin around from China
Also why u need a2sd don't u have enough on phone storage?
No it's proper sand disk I think from ebuyer, well I have about 10 apps and I have around 250-300mb left just wanted to free some up as when I install n.o.v.a 3 it's like 2.gb and that installs to whine storage aswell not sd. I think I've read that none if the apps to sd work yet for sgs3 :/

There's plenty of open topics about this. Search for them.
Basically Samsung intended the internal, external cards and dropbox to work as one big storage for all apps, app data and user files... or something like that.
So they disabled the Move To SD option in the app manager. Unfortunately it doesn't quite work like they intended and the external SD is practically useless as most apps (99%) can't read or write to it.
I'm reading around now to see if anything new happened but it's looking grim.
This thread should be closed.
Any updates on this? I still want to move my App Data to the external SD card. In this way my new SGS3 is even worse than my Galaxy Y -.-
as far as I know it does not work with S3. maybe an update coming soon

you cant do it again. samsung wont allow this option anymore. you can close this thread
It works. It requires some handywork though on the shelll.
maybe there will be a noob friendly mod soon for those that want to use .sd card for apps?

I'm just hoping for a custom Rom with App moving, UMS mode and fixed user dictionary so I'm not having to patch up the f**k ups that Samsung made and have it all built in like it should be.

Hello!
Do you think LG/Google will learn from their misstakes and enable Apps being Transferrable to the SD card? I Hope They do.

mistake? no friend, that was no mistake they planned that. ics was a major change in android and the apps to sd card thing is history now (at least in stock roms)
and the reason is that external memory can never be as fast as internal memory in running and executing apps. imo

internal memory is fast i agree, but it is still not faster than class 10 memory cards.
when i transfer data to internal memory it never went above 8 mbps....but with my class 10 memory card i can transfer with 16 mbps speed....so flash memory isnt always the fastest one

It is not history it's optional. It's a feature still embedded in ICS and Jelly Bean but it just needs to be turned on. They made it optional due to the devices like the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 which had no external memory. So having the feature would be pointless. It can be turned on though. I have a couple devices that has it work through your normal system settings.

The main issue with that is majority of consumers that are using these devices have no clue what a class is in relation to SD cards. Hell half of them think SD cards are SIM cards and vice versa and their pictures are on the SIM xD

I know the modern consumer is anything but "brilliant", but pictures on a SIM card? Lol. That may be a touch harsh, though it did get me to laugh.
On a side note, my current devices happen to be the exact same as yours. Fancy that.
Just rooted p769, installed app2sd and want to move apps. When run app2sd get this message:
"the device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary external storage is emulated. Moving app to SD function may not be supported by this device."
any alternatives or any way to remap without app2sd or link2sd? I have not tried link2sd yet but it'll probably be similar. Would like to remap or move apps until JB/CM is available which will likely have it integrated.

I'll try it, thanks.
Now i have a total of 180 apps, most of them are system, pre-installed, removed most bloatware. Don't want to waste internal storage memory completely, would like to keep some apps in phone and have a few hundred megs free internal, the rest moved to externa sd. Hope it's possible.
On the JB there are app2sd but all data of applications is still saving in phone memory.

Are you saying they initially install on the phone but have the option to move to sd after they are installed or that the option is available but doesn't work to move apps to your sd card.

He's saying that the larger apps such as for example real racing still save the data files to the sdcard. Now the difference is that you can move the actual app to the sdcard.

Yes, sorry for my bad English. We need to root this phone. Jelly bean is great.
I'm so jealous because I have the p769. I hope lg will update soon. I'm hoping with in another week.
Hi all,
I updated to the latest Verizon Galaxy S4 update last night and tried out the move app to SD option. I noticed the storage space didn't change at all, and looking at my SD card no new files or folders were created there and the available space remained the same. Using the Application manager I moved 5 apps over to the SD card (which should have been about 3GB), but it seems like it didn't actually move them. Isn't it supposed to move them to the real SD card? It seemed like maybe it moved them to a virtual sdcard folder maybe somewhere on the normal file storage, which doesn't help at all. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Kenny
The app remains in internal memory. All you can move is the apk. The app itself and its data remains in your main memory.

The update seems useless for those who need more storage at least, doesn't solve the problem of people running out of memory from app's.

Honestly, just root. It gets rid of the blow ware, and you get much more memory. My suggestion.

Rooted. Used FolderMount. By far, the bulk of space used turned out to be data, which FolderMount easily moved to ext sd card.
