I just recently rooted my L9 (finally been wanting to do it since I got it) and the main reason I did this was so that I could move system apps to the SD card to I could download large games. Is there a way to directly download from Play Store to SD card or do I have to go through the SD card? Also what apps would be good for this? I'm currently using this file manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm. Can I do it with this app or is there another I have to get?
Try using Link2SD, I remember that there is an option to install apps on sd automatically, and you can delete, move or freeze apps

Hi all,
I just brought the LG Optimus One P500 this afternoon and thanks for great info in XD. I managed to rooted the device so smotthly
Question:
after rooting, now how can install/move my applications to my SD card instead of the internal memory.
Previosuly on Samsumg spica there is a tool call App2SD, any similiar tools for LG Optimus One P500
Thanks
Do you want to install directly to the sd card or just to move them after being installed on the internal memory?
You can move apps around using Settings->Applications since FroYo can do that for you but not all apps can be moved just yet. Other apps can move them forcefully (I use Titanium Backup to do that).
If you want to install to the sd card directly, look for an app called apps2sd. I found it on the market a few months ago and it opened like the Settings menu. It will just ask you where you want apps to go to when you install them. It was really simple. Widgets wont work from the sd card though. Move them to the internal memory and reboot after if you have them on the sd card already.
and make sure you have a fast card if you want to install directly to the sd card.
I was running low on phone memory so i decided to move some apps to sd card (not external sd card), i was unable to do it from settings, application manager, it was giving me error "Unable to move app. Not enough storage space" (although it was just a bug, i have 11 gb free space in sd card), so tried a third party mover app ROM Toolbox Lite's App Manager, yes i was successful, the apps moved to sd, but afterwards they were missing from app drawer and but i am able to see them in application manager I searched a lot bu didn't find anything raher than people facing the same problem. Why the hell do we get only the phone memory to install apps, if i won't be able to use 16gbs to install apps why would i need it then ?
My Sony Xperia phone came with OfficeSuite installed as system app so after i got the phone rooted i installed a bunch of utilies and also ROM Toolbox. I used ROM Toolbox to move OfficeSuite to SD card but then it disappeared from the phone, i could not find it anywhere but i could see some files of it on the SD card. Then i opened Titanium Backup and at the bottom of the Backup/Restore tab i saw OfficeSuite and i was able to restore it.
Hi everyone,
I'm running stock Sense 6.0 (4.4.2).
Whenever I download an app from the Play Store, it downloads it twice, both in storage/emulated/0/android and in storage/ext_sd/android. I want to keep my external sd card for music, so I don't want apps taking up space on it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the updates to the Play Store, digging around in my settings, and deleting the /android directory from my external SD card, but nothing works. Does anyone know what's going on?
Thanks!
They aren't actually installing on your SD card. They are just creating a folder there should you choose to move their data to SD card in settings. Don't worry, the folders won't take up any space.
I used the Application Manager to select the apps and move some of them to SD card as the System Data has very low memory left (checked using DiskUage app). This was causing apps to not get installed. I want to know if this is an issue with the phone or should I download and use another app from the play store to move my apps to SD card?
(I'm using I9300, India)
Its been a week and still no response. Can anyone look into this in their S3 which does not have a custom ROM?
If you are rooted you can use link2sd to increase storage space. Foldermount will move game data and downloads to sd for even more space.
If not rooted you have no options.

Hi
After last update on OPX, we are able to store apps on SD card.
However, I noticed that after moving all moveable apps to SD card, when I update any of them through play store, these apps are moved back to internal staorage !!!!
Is this common issue for any of you guys? Or could it be related to my specific SD card?
I own a Samsung Tab S and I am using an external SD card to store apps and none of them are moving back to internal storagfe after update.
Thanks,
To be sure :
You are on 2.1.3-X ?
I've heard that some had the shorcuts dissapearing from homescreen afgter reboot. Didn't know about that.
You should reflash the complete 2.1.3-X zip to be sure.

Happens with me..i can confirm this..once u update app which is moved to sd card it gets again in phone storage..u have to move it again
It did happened to me as well. All I did was set the installation path to SD card using link2sd app and everything is fine and all newly installed apps are stored in my SD now
Same behavior here. I have an Xperia Z2 tablet and the apps are moving back also.
