Possible Move to SD for all optimums L9!!! - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

ROOT REQUIRED!!!
Hey fellow members (and others), I found something very interesting inside the build.prop for the P769 v21d (Wind). Hopefully, the reverse of what I did/changed will work for all L9's
Okay this is what i found inside the build.prop
ro.lge.capp_move_sdcard=true
I changed it to
ro.lge.capp_move_sdcard=false
and it changed (removed) the Move to Sd option. (after a reboot of course)
I found this by comparing the v20d & v21b build.prop s. This line is not in the V20d. Hopefully if y'all add this line to the build.prop it will enable the Move to Sd option.
I haven't had the chance to try it on the v20d.kdz yet. I will post my findings later.
If anyone tries it, make sure you have a backup of the build.prop and CWM recovery before trying.

Update,
Well lol, it's going take more than a simple tweak in the build.prop to enable Move to Sd Card. It's in the kernel for sure :dope:
Adding this only enables the option but it doesn't work. It's going to take some more digging to truly enable it. Lol, yeah and I might as well port a Rom while I'm at it (being sarcastic).
Update
I was right a tweak in the build.prop can enable (a working!) Move to Sd Card (on some roms). I rooted and flashed the MetroPCS (V10B) over the Wind (V21B) and added the "ro.lge.capp_move_sdcard=true" to the build.prop (rebooted) and apps are moving to the SDCARD!

If i got this straight, does that mean that will the SD will remain as the principal memory? Finally like a normal phone? -_-

No, not in the way you are thinking, this is what the v21b P769 normally looks like

Yeah I've been trying to enable it for all L9's but I've been unsuccessful.

The LGMS769 now has the best of both worlds (T-MOBILE & WIND) WIFI CALLING & MOVE TO SD CARD
I'm not sure if something got left behind while flashing over the WIND version. What made me to believe that V10B had this option (move to sd card), is because the Wind & MetroPCS both have to same Build number (JZO54K)
I will try a hard reset later and see if the option is still working

Without kuma82 this would not be possible.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372172. Try this on all l9`s. Confirmed working on lg p769 with v20f .

I apologize for my ignorance on this subject, but this seems to be the thread I have been searching XDA for. I have a US T-mobile LG P769 with android 4.1.2, root access, superSU, and busy box installed. All I want to do is to be able to move my apps from the internal to external memory. I found some “Build.prop” editing apps but honestly I have little knowledge of what it is or does other than its similarities to windows registry editor.
Can you possibly point me in the right direction of an app and a “how to” on how to accomplish my meager task. Any info would be appreciated.

I'm not sure of an app but swap script worked for me. Thanks to @kuma82 , I'm not exactly sure where it is. I have v20f. But once you've found it on these forums you set the script at boot using a scripter app...then I used android tuner to move apps to internal memory, which should be your external sd card now thanks to the script.

busybox mount -o remount,rw /
busybox mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:61 /mnt/sdcard
if busybox mount | busybox grep vold/179:61; then
busybox mount -o bind /data/media /storage/external_SD
busybox rm /storage/external_SD/external_sd
busybox chmod -R 777 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
fi
This is the script I used. Also I linked the memory of external and internal but not sure if that had anything to do with using my external sd card memory.

Just flash my themed rom. I have everything you are asking for. Look at my signature for the link.
Also check out my second post on that thread.
You can setup link2sd but you may run into problems in the long run.
