You can install root external 2 sd card on google play. It is working now on my mega 5.8 with 32g sdcard

I believe he is talking about this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext
I've installed it and am trying it out now, but there doesn't appear to be any confirmation of it working or not. Installing an app to test!

If you check your storage it should show heaps of room as it has the card as internal.

Checked this view. The storage doesn't appear to swap after hitting the 'External > Internal' button. Have you had any luck on your phone? Perhaps I'm being an idiot and setting it up wrong.
Backup all your data to ExtSdcard
1./ Hard reset your phone
2./ Setup your phone as a new phone
3./ Root your phone
4./ Install Root External 2 internal from GP
5./ Use Root Explorer copy all folders from SDcard to ExtSdcard
6./ Open Root External 2 internal app --> Setting
- Check on Default SGS3 Roms
- Check on Use per Defaul
- Touch on The ext. sdcard device access --> change 179:49 to 179:9 (this is block of Ext Sdcard on my mega 5.8, on others i don't know)
7./ back and touch on External > Internal, At boot if init.d
8./ Restart your phone
Use Root Explorer to chech you Sdcard and see, now your Ext Sdcard swapped as Sdcard
But, after that i can not see my internal Sdcard, i am still finding out the way to fix it
inside Storage i am still seeing the Internal as 8gb but in Root Explorer it is my 32g Ext sdcard
Hope this can help you.
If any you find out the best way to swap Ext Sdcard, please share.
Cheers.
can you share your print screen of your storage with us?

Unfortunately the dev/author stopped updating in November 2012 long before 4.2.2. So although it will work on 4.1 it will not work anymore on 4.2.2.
I already pm @codlab about this but unfortunately he does not have a device anymore to test/start updating.

What class your micro sd have?
Are the apps icon not available on app drawer or on manage application screen to?
Can you still view regular file such as photos on your micro sd?
Can you access SD card? (/sdcard/*)
What ROM do you have? (custom one, original one)
Have some tweaks in it enabled?
Are you using EXT partition?
Do you have custom recovery?

Don worry.Its not too big a problem.I had this problem before too.I had to fix it the hard way and that is to format it.So,move your important files to your laptop or pc first.Redownload the apps again.Your sd card may be 'contaminated' I guess. That's my solution for you.Hope it helps.

Make sure that you are using an SD card with ECC. I've had 3 non-ECC cards go corrupt beyond repair after ~3-6 months. I've used a Transcend Class 6 ECC card for 9 months with no issues.
Hi Guys,
I don't have Galaxy Mega. So anyone can help to test this Csc code to enable Samsung move app to SD feature?
Requirement:
1) Rooted phone
2) Has CSC installed (system/csc available)
3) Has ext sd card
How to:
1) Go to system/csc and find feature.xml or other.xml
2) Open it with text editor
3) Add this code just before </FeatureSet></SamsungMobileFeature>
<CscFeature_Common_AllowExternalApkUsage>true</CscFeature_Common_AllowExternalApkUsage >
4) Save and exit
5) Set file permission to rw-r--r--
6) Reboot
7) Go to settings - apps manager
8) Try move a game to SD card
That's it. Let me know if it works.
Thank you.

Absolutely yes, 32gb most of it free. I think the problem is possibly that the sdcard on the mega is not in the same 'place' as other devices.

And your card is formated in extFAT, NTFS, FAT32??? Can you verified?

It's a Sandisk Ultra 32gb 30mb/s class 10 formatted Fat32 and it's working fine with foldermount. I currently run SkySafari Pro and CoPilot sat nav off it, over 1.5gb data between them. So plenty of available space and no access problems.

Foldermount does work though
No problems with Foldermount, as I said I'm using it but it would be easier to just be able to select move to SD in app manager. Full marks to Arsaw for trying to help with that.
Sorry to bump but have there been any advancements in this area? Main reason I wanted to root was to move apps to the SD card but I'm finding it very hard to find anything that will allow me to do this.
Also tried the above and received the same message.
As far as I can tell the only thing that seems to work is FolderMount, but from what I can see this only moves app data to the SD card and not the actual application itself?
Any news from Samsung if the app2sd support will be heading our way as well as the S4?

connect your microsd to your pc with phone o with an adapter(better)
you can partition your sdcard with a partition manager, for example:
easus partiion manager, gparted...
you must have 2 partion 1-for apps(ext4) and 2-for your data(example music,photos...)
I don't have card adepter. Is there any way to do this? Please help. I have a little space on Internal memory.

Root your phone if you haven't already and install FolderMount, since the other options haven't worked for you. I use that and it's fine.
Every time I try to download anything the default location is the internal sd card. I try to switch it to choose the external sd card but it says "Can't find file or directory. Please make sure your SD card is ready, and USB Mass Storage is turned off."
I can not find the setting for the USB Mass Storage. But I'm able to see the sd card and see the folders and files I have on there with ES File Explorer.
Any help on this! Thanks!

In KitKat, write access to external SD card is blocked, you need to wait for a dev to MOD the system to allow for writing to external SD card.

You can't exactly... the "internal storage" in your screen shot is the /data partition for installing applications, that is the normal place apps go. Under normal circumstances you cannot install apps to your internal (12.5GB) storage, it is considered external storage to the operating system, hence why it is in /sdcard0 and your real microSD card is /sdcard1. To use these areas for apps you must use a tool like App2SD, Link2SD, or similar app, and only some apps can be moved, if it has a widget it cannot be moved and there are a few other rules that it will ward you about.
Okay.... So I did what you said and tried link2sd, but when moving apps to SD I get an 'INSUFFICIENT STORAGE ERROR'
And isn't there suppose to be an 'move to SD card' option in this app?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No, not in KitKat anyways, it doesn't have the SD card support that ICS had, Google hates SD cards for some reason, and has been limiting SD card support more and more in each Android version since Ice Cream Sandwich.
As far as the error in Link2SD, not sure, I haven't used it in years... Sorry.
I can be able to move apps to sdcard0 on omni kitkat rom...guess I'll stick 2 it,other kitkat roms excluding liquidsmooth and omni are a bit laggy

Sounds like you need to format the internal storage then mount it and just for good measure backup the external and format that and then mount too. I had a similar problem and when I did this all is well. I hope this helps.

How do you go about formatting the internal sd card. I just went from 4.2 to 4.4.4 and now TWRP and CWM recoveries will not mount and recognize the internal card. I can't even access the internal card to format it or anything else. How do I go about fixing this. 4.4.4 is pretty sweet.
