So I woke up this morning to see that 3 of my apps couldn't update due to insufficient space. I understand that we can't move app2sd, but is there something else I can do besides delete apps to make room? I don't have an excessive amount of apps to begin with.
Thanks in advance...

There is a way to move apps to sd using certain roms. Also you can use the SD switcher and apps will auto load on your sd card. With that, depending on the amount of data you have, you can move your backups and things like that to your sd card. only thing you "have" to leave on your sdcard if you do not want to do the swap is the data apps.

Hi,
i have apps2sd, and my internal phone storage keeps lowering.
i know that it is normal(i think), but i am afraid it will run out, is there something i can prevent that from happening?
thanks.
unfortunately
no the phone storage is fulling with aseecs witch it think are the links or the ropes for the apps to climb over to the phone haha. the thing is no aps to sd 190mb ARE FOR ABOUT 15-20 APPS (HEAVYAPPS) APS2SD 70+ apps because the aseecs are only about 600kb... remember some apps arent moved to sd card.!!!!
jave phun
totally new to partitioning my SD card, if i partition the card does the phone automatically use the space when it starts running low or what?
sorry for the newbishness, but any info/guidelines/or link to details on what its about and how to do it would be appreciated.
Thanks
I had a similar question. Is there a good reason to install something like DarkTremor to the EVO 3D? Always seems I am running out of low internal space even though I am always moving apps to sd card.
You ran out of space, even with 1.1GB and then still moving apps to sd? I find that hard to believe. What do you have installed?

I think what he's trying to say is that even with moving apps to sd he keeps filling his internal space back up before getting around to moving everything in the meantime to the SD card manually ...
and we're both looking for a better solution.
DTa2sd symlinks a partition on the sdcard to data. It does not switch over and start installing apps on the sdcard once internal memory is full. Its only good when you have a phone with a small internal memory to begin with. I will look into something that should help with what you want.
BTW: My internal memory is almost full. With the size of some apps and their data it is way to easy to fill up the internal memory. You are not looking at just apps, but also the data associated with them.

thanks for any help
Coming from a rooted EVO there was a script written that allowed you to move entire apps to sd card instead of just a portion like apps2sd... I was just wondering if anyone has seen anything similar for the Note?
No. But u shouldn't need it. There's plenty internal space for apps, unlike a dated evo.
Thanks for the reply
Feel free to lock.

Not for me, LOL. I'd like to be able to increase the apps partition and decrease the internal SD size. I hate moving apps to SD because Android likes to forget they're installed and then I have to reboot to access them. But if I don't, I run out of space (for some reason even with 200MB available, I constantly get "not enough storage available" errors when installing apps, but anything over about 200-250MB or so and they install fine).
My internal storage is full and I need more space. I'm wonder what would happen if I was to move things like apps to my external and then delete them on my internal? Anyone have any ideas on how to get more space without borking something up?

How many apps do you have installed??
Go into settings, Apps.
Click on each app. If the feature is natively avaiable, there will be an option to move to SD Card. Click that.
Otherwise, you can use third party apps like App2SD to move apps to SD Card.
I am actually attempting to nix the INTERNAL memory and dedicate it all to /data for application installs and data storage, and just make my 32GB MicroSD the alternate storage (and actually mounted as /sdcard, seriously, that annoys the ever living piss outta me)... Sadly, its only been done on the International GNote, and the setup seems worlds apart when trying to accomplish it on my AT&T GNote...
Anywho, If I manage to get it working, ill let ya know (if the other certifiably viable options aren't to your liking)
Cheers
Thanks a bunch hammer...I did what you said and it gave me a lot more room, but not enough for now.
Sorry I meant to thank Eugene Hammer, if you do get that working please let me know because to me that would be worth paying for.
I just stumbled upon it and I though it might be useful. In order to move an app from your phone's internal storage to your SD card, you just need to
1) open Settings -> Apps
2) Tap on an app
3) Tap on Storage
4) Tap Change
5) Tap SD card
PS: Obviously apps will take more time to open (the delay is noticable in facebook).

You don't even need to do that. Just long press any app then >app info>storage etc...

Welcome to Android! :silly:
And for anyone tempted to try, the onboard 64 gig is far faster than any SD card you can currently buy. Many apps will run poorly, if at all. Moving apps to the SD card should be an absolute last resort, right after you've figured out which apps you really didn't need in the first place.

I tend to agree, I moved a much of apps to my SD now things run much slower I regret doing so.
Moving apps to SD is soooo kit kat....
Depends on what apps you moved i guess.
Ive notified NO CHANGE on the apps ive moved. WhatsApp is on the SSD card and behaves just as it did on internal.
Let's see.. samsung internet , Firefox, textra, all amazon apps, google drive, instagram, Snapchat, outlook, pandora, OneDrive...
NO DIFFERENCE at all.
Now there was one app, samsung gear 360, it did NOT like to be on storage card (kept force closing even though i was not using it when this was happening) so i moved it back to internal.
Also not ALL of the apps data is moved to the SD card. Some data of the app still lives on the SD.
EDIT: i dont use crackbook aka Facebook, so i cant speak on that, but i use WhatsApp, for example, and it opens up normally. No lag. None of the apps i moved are behaving out of normal. Again this is dependent on other factors, but in my daily use environment i dont notice any lag.
I also dont use the memory and storage optimizer (killing apps in the background from running)...
The internal storage is faster than sd unless you can find one of their new faster sd cards...if you move a lot of apps you may see performance loss...

I can't move WhatsApp on my S7 edge. Being wanting to. I get my N8 tomorrow, so even happier if I can now move it
Hey liquid guru
I can't move any apps with my 8.1 rooted phone ...
Is there a thread I'm not able to find on this.
Thanks
