I love my Z2. I bought the LG G3 and S5 at the same time and sold my G3 and gave my son the S5. I was a dyed in the wool Samsung fan until they quit making international models that worked on AT&T with FM radios. I listen to talk radio all day on my Z2 without using any data and with little battery drain.
I have rooted the Z2 and installed the exposed framework, but am not able to move apps to the SD card like I can with my Note 2 and S5. The Z2 only comes with 16GB of storage internally. I cannot believe that there isn't a way to store apps and their data on the SD card. I know that with KitKat Google has been limiting what can be done with the SD cards ( very idiotic).
Any ideas?

Yes use the 'kitkat SD card full access' xposed module and folder mount to sort it out

But this module allows any app to write to SD Card. Then you can use folder mount to mount apps and its data to sd card.

I have had my galaxy s4 for about a week and a half now and love this phone. I still have 7 GB of space left, but tutorials online that show apps could be moves to the SD card. I have a Verizon Gs4 and when i go to application manager i do not see the option to move apps to the SD for all of my apps. I even tried installing a app that the tutorial shows was installed on the SD card and i could not move it. Has Verizon not launched the update for the S4 to install Apps to the SD card? It would be nice to move some apps to the SD card.
There should be an update soon. It is rolling out in Germany first.

At this point, we're unable to move apps to SD card. As you mentioned there is an update slated for the int'l version S4 - will be obviously after that b4 the Verizon mods are implemented. These is a app in the play store "folder mount" that could definitely help to maintain internal space: must be rooted

ok thanks for the reply
The update will be useless in regards to reclaiming space. You're better off buying the pro version of Folder Mount and using it to symlink Android/OBB.

If your comfortable with rooting, romming, etc... Most custom roms cut out a lot of the pre installed jazz. Off a fresh install of Clean Rom 1.9 I'm using less than 1gb of my internal storage.

Has there been any news on this?
If I'm running a custom ROM will my phone be able receive this update, or will I have to wait for the ROM to be updated as well? TIA
There is a nice program to perform this task ..You can Also transfer basic programs to external memory, but they need root...
Might I be so bold as to ask the name of said program?
Is there a reason my phone doesnt give me the option to move an app to the Sd card?
I dont wanna fill up my internal space again, like I did on my last phone. But no apps have the "move to sd card" option.
How do I put apps on the external sd card??
Just got the phone two days ago. Im not rooted.
Verizon phone.

The ability to move apps to SD was removed in Jelly Bean by Google. Samsung has recognized this limitation and has developed a way to do just that. The Samsung fix is rolling out to the international variants first and hopefully soon to the various US ones.
Really? Thats lame. So there is no way to put my apps on the sd card? I have a lot of apps & have taken up almost half of the internal memory already.
So no way to do this at all?

The Samsung fix only moves the apk. App data is still internal.

Use the Folder Mount app to move data to your external SD card and create symlinks to the internal storage.

Hey, anyone know his to move apps to the SD card in the MDK build. Can we just use any app off the Play store?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
I don't think so. A work around instead is using an app called folder mount. I moves the data to the sd card but the phone still thinks it's installed on internal memory. You need root thought. Try it out. It works great for me.
I want to upgrade the firmware to me7 but waiting until a custom recovery method can be installed first. Root is not enough for me.
Rooted S4
Bear in mind that the apps to sd ”feature” in ME7 is worthless. If you want to free up any appreciable space, you will still need to use a third party app to do so.

+1 I love that app and bought it as well.
There are three ways you can do this:
1. Download and run link2sd- you should be able to download games straight to external memory.
2. Throught apps in settings- go to your apps, click on the app you want to send, and click move to SD card.
3. Through settings- you can go to the settings (Idk what section it is under) and change the installation place from internal memory to external memory.
Good luck and I hope this helps!

Folder Mount I found to be much easier to use than GL to SD

Seems that I have no room left on my phone storage & tons of space left on my SD card. How can I get my phone to put everything on the card, by default??
Would this work: if I hook my phone up to my PC, then just took all the folders on my phone storage, and moved them to the Card. Would my apps & stuff still work or would doing that not be good??

I don't think just copying the apps will allow them to work. You can use Application Manager to move some apps to the sd card.
I went thru all my apps & moved whichever ones I was able to move. But I did that a long time ago. So I still have no room on my phone storage.

Move photos, downloads and any music on your phone to your SD card too. Then in your camera app go to settings and change the SD card as default.
Download the free version of SD Maid and use it to clean up old thumbnails and program files still on your phone from before you moved them.
I once deleted 2gb of photo gallery thumbnails from my phone with this app. You can also see which files are the largest on your phone and SD card to see if you can move or delete anything.
I have this app on my phone, tab, and my kids tabs to keep up with their memory and storage usage.

Thanks, I'm also running out of space, I'll give this a shot.
Tonight I was gonna try to just backup all my.stuff and then start over. I use GO launcher and I saw that I have GO backup on my phone, so I was gonna try to.use that. I started the app & it said my SD card is corrupted or damaged. I included a screenshot of what it said:
So would this be the reason why everything is on my internal storage instead of my card? Or is that message just something I.should ignore??

If you have a card reader unmount your SD card, take it out and try reading it on a computer. If you can read it I would copy everything off and put in a temporary folder on your desktop. Then format the card with the computer and put it back in the phone, format it using the phone and try your back-up again.
If it works put the card back in your computer and copy your files back. Be sure to unmount the card each time. Mine went corrupt once because I didn't.
How do I make the SD card, the default storage for everything? Or is that not possible...
