Hi. After installing app from playstore, i try to move the app from internal storage to SD card through app manager in Settings.
The thing is, i notice that the space in SD card remains the same even after moving the app to SD card.
When I delete an app which has been moved to SD card, the space is freed up in internal memory.
Is this what is happening with all others too? Let me know. I could not install a few apps coz of memory limitations of just 4 GB ROM. Move to SD card is not helping me at all. Thank you.

Hello,
My internal memory is about to be full due to the applications installed on the internal memory not to the SD card. Is there anyway to move the installed applications to the SD card?
I tried to do that from Application management but the move to SD card button is inactive.
Thanks
Try darktremors app2sd...
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
DT A2SD script or use S2E.
The move to sd card option is inactive because those apps are protected apps,that is,apps that cant be moved to sd card.
If you are reluctant on rooting,then use the force install apps to sd card hack,it moves apps partially,same option when you root your phone too.
Flashing script method is recommended though,Frees up your internal memory a ton
or you can just try forcing apps to sd with titanium backup

Highly recommend S2E. Moves Dalvik Cacheto the SD freeing up about 100+MB to the SD card. And use Titanium Backup to batch move them to the SD. Make sure you select the right apps to move. If you move your theme and such to the SD, your phone will quick reboot every time you turn it on. Don't move things you're using on your phone to the SD unless they're apps.
Here are some screen shots to prove I'm not lying
Got the number of apps installed, amount of memory free and S2E working its magic ;D
I cant find on market s2e
Good day guys and hope you can help me with this. Im running Miui 2.1.6 with Siyah kernel 3.3.1, my problem is my internal sd and external sd cards being swapped or thats how the system views it. whenever i try to move apps from phone to sd card whether via app manager or apps 2 sd it moves my apps to my external sd card which is annoying. im only using my external sd card for media and not for my apps. after moving those apps it creates a .android_secure folder on my external sd with .asec files on it. im assuming that this is a problem with how the phone identifies my internal & external sd cards, i tried removing my external sd card and again tried to move apps to sd card and it says it doesnt have enough space which is crazy because my sd card has 6GB free space on it.
See question. 2 and 9 gb of space is not cutting it for me with a lot of programs not allowing you to move stuff to the external sd card. Is there a way that works for the amaze to move data to the external sd card?

you can use almost any file manager with root premissons or not in order to move stuff from your internal storage to your sd card.. the only issue is you have to be careful of what you move because not every app will function properly if moved to external storage.. i think titanium backup also allows you to batch move apps to the phones internal storage (not system storage that's the 2gb)

link2SD, move applications to SD card even if it doesn't allow to (it's built-in to ROMS for phones with smaler internal memory, like my low-end Optimus T with 150MB internal)
however, the speed of the SD card is generally slower than internal memory... just a small warning
another option would be the app 'gl to sd' (or something similar to that).
its free and its main use is to save the gameloft game data to your external sdcard. ive tried it and it works with the games. i do believe it'll allow you to move other app data as well.
I'm running neatrom kitkat build , I was running out of space on 2gb app partition so i started moving all large apps by using " Move to SD" option in settings. To my surprise all the apps were moved from 2GB partition to internel sd (11.50GB) instead of my external SD card. WTF? I've around 6GB+ of free space on my external sd card so what's the damn problem?
What's the point of inserting micro sd card when you're unable to move your crap on it. Funny thing is that Android wants you insert micro sd card to move your apps to "Internal sd card"
Any solution?

This is not a bug, but it is more of a feature of android. The reason why apps are not moved to external sd card is because it will take longer to load your apps, especially on boot. Also, there will be a much higher chance that you will find that your apps are missing as android is unable to load all of your apps fast enough.
I installed resurrection remix 7.1 on my Xiaomi Redmi 1s(armani). I converted my 16gb sd card into adoptable storage. The OS and the apps stored on SD card work flawlessly. Little to zero lag. Kudos to all the developers. As we cannot select storage during install. The app selects storage depending upon its manifest. But the apps like subway surfer got installed on sd card. But I want to use the internal memory as long as I can. When I try to move the app to internal storage it goes upto 30-50% then says not enough storage. I have 4gb free on my phone memory. I know that some apps like SwiftKey don't allow to be installed on sd card. But this is a different scenario. The app should allow to move to internal storage. What could be the reason for this error? I cleared the caches, still no luck.
