[Q] Moving Apps to SD Card - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hello All,
I recently read that there will soon be an update to move Apps to the SD card. Now, I am rooted with stock rom. Will there be a problem receiving this update?

No when it's available you can flash a rom with the update in it.

Have you guys tried using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&feature=nav_result works great.

It is a far better solution than the apps to SD that people are waiting for.

Games and Apps to SD Card

Hey, i was wanting to move my games and some apps to my sd memory card in my s3......but I cant find the option for it. Ive tried App2SD from the marketplace but it doesnt let me select my external memory card, its like its blocked or something. I know the phone recognises it because I can move music and pics onto it via MyFiles app. Any ideas???

Play music

Does anyone have a mod that I could flash in recovery to get downloaded google play music to save to my ext sd?
Or an easy way to mod it to work that way?

Not sure if this will work.
Directory Bind is awesome, though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
The other thought I had is if you tried the sd/internal swap? It makes the phone use the sd card as it's internal and vice-versa.
Just a thought. Hope it helps. And btw, these require root.

On my phone none of them will allow you to move them. I have jelly bean.

You could always try Link2SD. It's an app that let's you move any app to a secondary partition on your SD card. I used it on a previous phone that had very limited internal storage. It helped a lot.

Also Titanium backup and similar apps will allow you to move apps to the sdcard (most apps need root).

Are you receiving some kind of error message? Could you explain your problem a little more so that we can help you?
Here are a few guides I found for Setting Up Link2SD on your phone's SD card. Here's another one.
I think the problem is the samsung phone. Same happens on the s3, where "sdcard" is actually an emulated location, part of the internal memory, just a label.
So, apps installed on internal are detected by normal means as already installed in sdcard. These phones usually label the removable sd card as extsdcard.
Nothing to do for the moment, apps like directory bind helped creating links (just as link2sd does) between external and internal sdcard.
Yes. It gives me a message about "shell".

Storage

Okay I Love my dna but I'm am so mad there isn't an SD card slot and all my storage is being used up by some unforeseen ghost. I have 10 gigs of storage being used by, "other" and u have no idea where it is going to. My best friend has the dna as who with the same issue. I have 2 gigs of music, 1.5gigs in my downloads and 1 nandroid (1 gig). That is all I have put in my phone besides the apps and app data. If anyone else has this problem or any idea where my storage is going I would greatly appreciate some help

What's the total of the bloat on the phone? I don't think it counts the bloatware as app data.

Dude, check the data/media vs the 0 folder. You probably have quite a few duplicates in there.

Yeah if you've switched to 4.2 or 4.3 from 4.1.2 that's your problem best bet would be to format your internal SD card.

I dont want to lose all my music I've downloaded and I don't have a computer. Is there any way to backup my music besides Dropbox or play music?

No.
That's what I thought. So full wipe and then could I push my back up to my phone and restore it?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You should be fine doing that, also there is another way... Get a USB drive and an otg cable and back it up to the drive. Otherwise I would suggest using dropbox over play music, last time I checked when you redownload something from play music it doesn't necessarily download it at the quality it was before.
