hello,
I'm wondering if there is some kind of mod that lets you choose where to install an app.
I know some android devices have this feature.
At the moment I use gl2sd to copy supported apps to sd but I guess there must be an easier way.
If not, I dare to bet some xda developer can fix this
My device is rooted btw.
thx.

Friends,
Can any tell me why some of the apps I have downloaded cannot be moved to SD?(the option is blanked out). Is there any way to do a workaround this limitation?
Thanks.
Applications that run as services and widgets can't be moved to SD card - Froyo (Android 2.2.x) limitation. The workaround is to use app2sd (aka "a2sd") or link2sd, applications that make use of an ext-type partition on your SD card and link the system and data folders to that partition. Doing so, the apps will physically install on the SD card, even those who aren't supposed to (services and widgets I mentioned earlier). Also, apps already installed in your phone can be moved.
Feel free to search the forum and the web for more details about how they work and how to install and use them.
Thanks for quick reply. Still puzzled. Do I have to root in order to install apps2sd? If so how to get around the no root limitation to my 2.2.1? I do not wish to downgrade. Thanks again.
If you don't want to downgrade and/or install a custom ROM that has Darktremor's apps2sd (follow the link and read that post anyway, it's useful info), then you need a tool able to force-move the applications to SD card. I can't help you with any suggestion here so you have to search the Market or any other source you trust. But if that tool needs root rights you're stuck again, because 2.2.1 can't be rooted at the moment.
I found this app Install Manager in the Android Market which claims to be able to force move internal memory apps to sd card without using a second partition.

Has anyone tried this app??
Is this possible?
Is it safe to use this app?
Can it move complete apps to sd or in parts?
SGA 2.3.4 DDKQ5 rooted
It is possible
Of course it is safe
I havent used this app,but i dont think this app moves them completely to sd-card.For moving apps completely to sd-card,an sd-card partition.This sort of movement is just the move,you find when you root your phone or when you use the force install command which does not require root
ok so i have an hauwie Ideos s7 fat on 2.1-update1 (not the newer slim one which already has the update to 2.2).
its not tied to any network just use it at home on wifi.
i would like to know how to install apps on the external sd in stead of the internal also how to get to the folder which holds pictures and videos so i can move them to create more room. it doesnt have to much internal memory so by installing everything on the sd i plan to improve usage.

You either need to install the Froyo update (since moving apps to the SD started as a default feature in Froyo) or root your device.

Great, so that means your device is rooted. Now just use this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=en.

Use the app to transfer whichever apps you want to the new partition. Also set it to automatically link new apps to the sd partition, if that's what you want.
If you're having trouble, just Google it. There are hundreds of guides for using Link2SD, and thousands covering all kinds of ways to move apps to the sd card. Here's one to try.
Hi guys,
How can I fix this problem? I want to make sd card installed Apps & games (data, Obb) in it...

I believe that you must have some app, depends on your device, some manufacturers do not allow this, so you may need some app
:good:

please help me :'(
This is not possible. Don't waste your time on apps. Installation of apps is in internal storage by default. You MAY be able to move the data from some of these apps to SD but not all
Hey guys.
As you might know , we , kitkat 4.4.4 users can't install app in our sd card , so I'm here to ask if someone know a way to get the possibility.
I'm pretty new into phones and android , so it's a bit confusing for me. Do I have to install a custom ROM ? Do I have to wait for lolipop ?
Good night.
U will have to root ur device then install folder mount app to move all your data to SD card
Even though you have to inform yourself first very well, using Xposed and a module called XInternalSD works perfectly for apps that can occupy a lot of space on the Data folder, which can be just moved to the External SD Card.
