Before when I move the installed apps using ap2sd or appmonster by default it used to move to the internal USB Storage(11GB) of Galaxy S2. I recently did a wipe re-flash of ROM and after that when I move the installed apps- by default its going to the external SD card I have installed which is 8GB. Now the internal storage is not used at all. Is there anyway I can fix this issue without going for another reflash? Any help is highly appreciated!

Nope it doesn't... That's exactly what the problem is... Unable to move apps to the internal USB (SD) memory... It looks for an external SD card instead and gives an error...

I think I'm having the same problem.
Only noticed it this morning when I tried to download a new app (existing update fine) and it failed, stating that it was unable to save to USB storage. I also can't mount USB storage in CWM recovery mode.
Did you or anyone else find a solution?
Well it appears that my internal storage is knackered.
Booted into CWM and tried to 'mount USB storage', but am greeted with 'E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory).
If factory reset and flashing a stock ROM is necessary, then I can do that. But, if the storage is inaccessible, am I even able to do that? Would opting to 'Erase USB Storage' in the settings>storage menu be of any use?
sameproblem here...
ok i solved the problem...
i write an Answer Threat
I had something similar when I installed a ROM with an older CWM. I lost my SD card but could access it from the PC. I copied a backup over to the internal memory and recovered.
how about just unmount the external SD card then try to install again?
Unable to move apps to internal usb storage
I am also facing the same issue.Somebody plz let me know any workaround for moving apps to Internal USB storage. Under settings>application manager> there is an option to move apps to external sd card only. Is it possible to install/move apps to internal usb storage (around 11.5 GB). Please help.
Phone - Galaxy s2 (At&t sgh i777)
ROM - Shostock3 rom (android 4.1.2)
I have mounted an external sd card and using link2sd to move apps to it. One thing I noticed that with sd card mounted, when I move apps to external sd card, some part of the app moves to the usb storage and also the app size increases after doing so. However, still there is no direct way of moving/installing apps to usb storage without an external sd card.

How to transfer the apps that I downloaded to the external sd card to save the internal storage space. Don't seem to find such function in Setting.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
Go to setting / application and choose the application to move to the sdcard, them press the button "move to sd card"
Please bearing in mind that not all applications run in sd card

That button will kind of work, but not in the way you would think. What that will do is transfer the application out of Android's dedicated App Storage space and into the normal internal SD card storage. There is no way to install apps to an external SD without rooting and re-mounting your external SD to a location (/mnt/sdcard/Android/Data from memory) through Terminal or a script.
Hi guys! I have this chinaphone (see my review here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYoyoWa9wis) and his is awesome.
But i have a little problem with the default storage. The phone have 512mb rom, 2gb internal "USB storage" and with my sd card 8gb. When a install any app or game from sdcard, the system cant load the data on the sd card (IGO maps, for example).Then i have to install it on 2gb internal storage of phone.
Any idea to solve it? It s already rooted!
thanks since now!

Hi guys,
Titanium Backup is installed on my sd card.
When I go to:
Settings -> Applications -> Application settings -> Manage applications -> "On SD card" tab ,
I can see that Titanium Backup (installed on sd card) takes up 1.94 MB of space on the sd card.
But I really can't find any Titanium Backup files on the sd card that would take up 1.94 MB of space.
Where is it?? I can't find anything, even in the hidden folders...
Thanks guys!!!

Apps installed on SD card will be at location /mnt/asec
You simply can't see the app, if you browse through SD card contents from a File Manager.
All apps installed on sd card are hidden but you can see them using root explorer or any other good file explorer
i'm not a newbie
Karan128, I know all about rooting and root explorer. I really can't find them anywhere on the sd card, even on the hidden folders of the sd card.
coolsandie is right-- all apps that are installed on sd card can be found in mnt/asec
I KNOW it's on the sd card
"coolsandie is right-- all apps that are installed on sd card can be found in mnt/asec"
I know that too.
But I cannot find the files that are actually taking up space in the sd card.
Hope that's clear.
try this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wOSwiY29tLmdvb2dsZS5hbmRyb2lkLmRpc2t1c2FnZSJd
It will show what files are taking how much space, I think you can find the apps installed on sd card.
Thanks karan!!!

I wanted to know if there is anyway to move apps to SD card or to set install location to sd1...
My internal storage is more than 80% full (almost apps but no media files)..
Model: Z2 D6503
Android Version: 4.4.4 rooted
Download and install "Titanium Backup". Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
Open the program and click on the options button of your phone and click on batch. You'll see a number of operations followed by a run button after each one. Scroll down and you'll see "move all user apps to SD card", click on run and you are done.
Remember:
Without partitioning the SD card, you will always have part of the apps on internal. With partitioning the SD card, you can move the entire apps to SD card.

After partitioning the SD card ,phone didn't recognize the sd card
Then I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sylkat.AParted&hl=en ,and it worked for partitioning..
But Titanium backup doesn't have "move all user apps to SD card" option so I used Link2SD and Link2SD recognized the ext2 partition but after moving apps to SD card ,it says your phone doesn't support move apps to SD because its primary external memory is emulated from the interal storage..
