Hello - I'm running out of internal space and trying to move apps to my SD card, but I keep getting the "Couldn't move app" error. I haven't had any issues with past versions of CM when moving apps, so I'm not sure if it's KK-related (I know there were security changes with KK) or if it's my SD card. My card is a 16 GB SanDisk, class 4, and is only a few months old. If I do a move in TiBu, it initially shows the app as moved but it shows as internal storage again on reboot. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated - thanks for the help!
yo apparently kitkat doesn't really like lower than class 6 SD cards as far as moving things to the sd card. i had this same issue on kk. you're going to have to just get a new card or deal with not moving anything to the sd. sorry bro but google's oppressing us. SINGLE CORE PHONES ARE DED1111
That's what I figured - just another case of the man holding us down. Thanks for the reply!
Hi, I'm also having trouble moving apps to the SD card with CM11. Problem is, I have a class 10 32gb microSD card, so the change card solution isn't applicable. I have plenty of space on the card. Any ideas?

Been reading up on putting CM on the touchpad and the likes (I don't have one yet, picking it up on Friday) and people are saying to install from sd card and someone in a video showing a rom said that his gallery picked up images from his sd card...does this have an SD card slot? Cause I read that it didn't...or does it just treat the internal memory as SD card?
Thanks,
Niall
No it doesn't have an SD card slot. The only storage it has is the internal memory of either 16/32/64 gb. Yes, cm team treats this internal memory as the SD card.

No SD card slot. It's internal memory as you suspected. Android labels the folder sd card.
It's a good buy if you get it cheap. Enjoyable to hack. Have fun with it!

I have searched high and low for an answer to this but cannot seem to find one. I have recently rooted my NT to use CM 10 and everything appears to be working fine save one exception. I have an external SanDisk 32 GB class 4 card that I am using and it only shows 1GB available when it is installed in my NT. Here are the things I have tried without any luck.
** reformat SD card using SDFormatter.
** double check the partitioning using mini tool and verified that there is only one partition 32GB, FAT 32.
** put the SD card in my laptops SD card reader and I see that all 32 GB are available.
** put the SD card back in my NT and uses AppMgrIII to move the app to external SD, then ejected the SD and saw that the app was no longer available so I know what my NT is calling the SD is in fact my external SD card.
The only thing I have not tried is a new SD. Any clues?
EDIT:
One note, when I go into Settings --> Storage I see two sections marked internal storage and one SD card section.
Internal Storage 1
Total Space 3.97GB
Internal Storage 2
Total Space 29.71 GB (This is my external SD card)
SD Card
Total Space 1.00GB

The 1 GB you see listed is actually internal emmc. Your 32 GB sd is actually 29.71 GB formatted. Your internal user media is 3.97 GB.
This is how internal memory is allocated-
1 GB RAM+1 GB emmc+4GB media+2GB (split between OS and /data)=8GB model.
1 GB RAM+1 GB emmc+4GB media+10GB (split between OS and /data)=16GB model
You did not mention if you have the 8 or 16 GB model. Either way there is nothing wrong with your memory allocation.
I have the 16 GB model. When I try to move apps to SD does it shows it moving to the 1GB sd card which you said was the internal emmc. I will play around some more to see if I can get some more evidence. Thank you for answering!

Are you running an app that mounts/swaps emmc as SD?
No
If you're using paranoid android it swaps the internal storage and SD card. Nothing to be worried about, but if you want it swapped use the succulant build.
did you figure this out? My nook color running 4.0.2 does the same thing (shows 2 external sd cards), and installs all the "sd apps" to the smaller sdcard1 partition instead of my actual external sdcard2. How do I tell it to treat my actual sd as the external sd so I can put all my apps on it?
many thanks

It is "figured out" for OP in the replies. To switch on your build, try asking in the Color forum section. There may be a zip to flash or maybe a change to be made in the build prop. But you need to check it for your device and ROM.
oops sorry, I had so many tabs open researching this I didn't realize this wasn't the NC forum. I have asked in there on a few threads, hopefully something will turn up.
thanks!
Hi
Our Nabi2 is rooted.
I have used the rootexternal2internal sd card app from google-play store to swap the internal and external sd cards.
It has been seeming to work a treat, internal sd card goes from 4gb to 28Gb when you view the settings in daddy-mode (does this even if you dont do the reboot way of doing things).
However, as time has gone on, I now seem to have run out of space on the nabi, when I look at it, the "real" internal sd card is actually now full, with the real external sd card has about same used space on it but loads of empty space too. The real-external is seen by the nabi2 as "internal" but for some reason it must be installing apps from the google store onto the actual internal instead.
Is this an issue anyone else has found? Any suggestions for what Im doing wrong or any workarounds please?
Would really appreciate any help or thoughts.
Thank you for your time.
Alex
I've Uninstalled the app and re downloaded.
The 28gb card still seems to swap ok when you look in system settings but if I install a new app, it's the space on the small card that goes down (this one being shown as external but is actually the internal)
So the settings seems to show like the swap has gone ok but the installation of apps is still going to internal.
Any ideas at all please??
Thanks
Please has anyone any ideas on this?
Although the root2externalsd app looks like it works, apps are still going onto the inside limited-space sd.
Please any advice appreciated

My daughter's rooted and S off Droid Incredible 4G LTE is giving her an insufficient memory error when trying to download certain apps. She has a 32 gigabyte Micro SD card and is running Cyanogenmod 10.2.1. Anybody have any ideas on how to remedy this issue? I suspect we need to run certain apps from the SD card or move data over to it. I am just not sure how to do it.
This is a limitation due to the partitioning of the device, only 1GB can be used for apps and when apps are moved to SD they are moved to the internal "SD card" partition not the real SD card. There is a swap but I'm not sure if it works with CM 10.2.1 and nothing has been worked on it in about a year. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985658

I may give it a try on my backup DING 4g. I do see that for the latest version of the script there is no reverse....so hopefully I wont brick it. I wonder what happens to existing apps when you run this?
There is a reversal posted on the op...
I installed it today on my existing phone (viper rom & infernal kernel) and so far all my apps are working. Only change I've had to so far is update my gallery links.
Hello
I own Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 and it is rooted. I recently purchased a class 10 Sandisk Micro SD card with 64 GB capacity. I was very happy that I did but my happiness did not last long when I have come to know that 3rd party apps do not have write permission in Kitkat. After some research I was successful to make the SD card writable to 3rd party apps by modifying the permissions.xml file.
Everything seems to be fine at this time but it was not actually. The SD card when seen under storage in settings would show me that it is mounted with 62.5 GB capacity and 60 GB free. But when I try to browse the files in SD card, there are nothing. Apps saved in SD card do not open and I am also unable to capture images from camera to SD card storage.
I thought may be unmounting the SD card and mounting it back would work and it worked but after a while the same problem. My device shows that it has mounted an SD card but cannot access anything saved in it. So, I have to unmount and mount SD card every time and this is very much annoying.
Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you for your time.
