Hi Guys,
I don't have Galaxy Mega. So anyone can help to test this Csc code to enable Samsung move app to SD feature?
Requirement:
1) Rooted phone
2) Has CSC installed (system/csc available)
3) Has ext sd card
How to:
1) Go to system/csc and find feature.xml or other.xml
2) Open it with text editor
3) Add this code just before </FeatureSet></SamsungMobileFeature>
<CscFeature_Common_AllowExternalApkUsage>true</CscFeature_Common_AllowExternalApkUsage >
4) Save and exit
5) Set file permission to rw-r--r--
6) Reboot
7) Go to settings - apps manager
8) Try move a game to SD card
That's it. Let me know if it works.
Thank you.

Tried it and get the option to move but it fails with "Unable to move app, not enough storage space"

Thanks for testing. Are you sure your ext sd card is working?

Absolutely yes, 32gb most of it free. I think the problem is possibly that the sdcard on the mega is not in the same 'place' as other devices.

And your card is formated in extFAT, NTFS, FAT32??? Can you verified?
Thanks
It's a Sandisk Ultra 32gb 30mb/s class 10 formatted Fat32 and it's working fine with foldermount. I currently run SkySafari Pro and CoPilot sat nav off it, over 1.5gb data between them. So plenty of available space and no access problems.

I guess the code alone is not enough to enable move app to SD.

Foldermount does work though
No problems with Foldermount, as I said I'm using it but it would be easier to just be able to select move to SD in app manager. Full marks to Arsaw for trying to help with that.
Sorry to bump but have there been any advancements in this area? Main reason I wanted to root was to move apps to the SD card but I'm finding it very hard to find anything that will allow me to do this.
Also tried the above and received the same message.
As far as I can tell the only thing that seems to work is FolderMount, but from what I can see this only moves app data to the SD card and not the actual application itself?
Any news from Samsung if the app2sd support will be heading our way as well as the S4?

I don't have the device. Can't test further. Use FolderMount for now.

As said earlier , use folder mount .
Pls mention its only possible to edit the system files if its rooted
Sent from my GT-I9152 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
With this we only enable that option to be visible... we must edit also the vold.fstab file to get this functional...
This option is working on Galaxy S4 after first update so i think maybe would help copying that from S4 to Mega (but S4 with 4.2.2 after patch update which solve this option)

I believe he is talking about this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext
I've installed it and am trying it out now, but there doesn't appear to be any confirmation of it working or not. Installing an app to test!

If you check your storage it should show heaps of room as it has the card as internal.

Checked this view. The storage doesn't appear to swap after hitting the 'External > Internal' button. Have you had any luck on your phone? Perhaps I'm being an idiot and setting it up wrong.
Backup all your data to ExtSdcard
1./ Hard reset your phone
2./ Setup your phone as a new phone
3./ Root your phone
4./ Install Root External 2 internal from GP
5./ Use Root Explorer copy all folders from SDcard to ExtSdcard
6./ Open Root External 2 internal app --> Setting
- Check on Default SGS3 Roms
- Check on Use per Defaul
- Touch on The ext. sdcard device access --> change 179:49 to 179:9 (this is block of Ext Sdcard on my mega 5.8, on others i don't know)
7./ back and touch on External > Internal, At boot if init.d
8./ Restart your phone
Use Root Explorer to chech you Sdcard and see, now your Ext Sdcard swapped as Sdcard
But, after that i can not see my internal Sdcard, i am still finding out the way to fix it
inside Storage i am still seeing the Internal as 8gb but in Root Explorer it is my 32g Ext sdcard
Hope this can help you.
If any you find out the best way to swap Ext Sdcard, please share.
Cheers.
can you share your print screen of your storage with us?

Unfortunately the dev/author stopped updating in November 2012 long before 4.2.2. So although it will work on 4.1 it will not work anymore on 4.2.2.
I already pm @codlab about this but unfortunately he does not have a device anymore to test/start updating.
Hey guys I'm having an issue with setting my sd card as my download directory, when I set it to external sd and try to download anything wether it be a picture or a document I get Message saying their is not enough space cannot finish download, now I thought it might be my sd card going bad so I went out and purchased a New one 64GB, old one was 32gb but I'm still getting the same message, I can set it to internal memory dl the file and then transfer it to my sd after just fine so I know now it's not an sd issue.

You could try the app SDFix by NextApp in the Play Store. It's free.

OP - Are you rooted?
KitKat has issues with access to microSD depending on what you are doing.
You will need to enable full access to SD.
Look in the root thread ot use Xposed with Tweakbox.

Yes I am rooted, All I'm trying to do is set the sd card as my dl directory, so files save to my sd card and not internal memory.
I have xpososed as well as tweak box already installed

boat browser is not a privileged app. It will not write everywhere on the sdcard with default kitkat privileges. you can change them manually or since you are rooted use an app like sdfix or an xposed module to do the change for you.

I have the same problem with the internal card. i can't download anything off of playstore anymore because it says insufficient memory. I am going to have to flash the stock b06 thing and start over. blows. Oh and there is like 12 gig available on the internal card and I dont see any other way around it. Maybe after refreshing I will be able to implement the newest root method and that will clear it up. Also I DON'T have a problem saving random objects to the samsung evo 64gb (omg you have to get one) because I did the kitkat fix and it worked fine.
Hi all,
As to this stock lollipop firmware from Sony, have they allowed apps to write to sd card without root?
If not, I will stick to stock android 4.3.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

Just went ahead and tested for you, I tried moving files to external SD card and I have two apps installed on the external SD card. Works fine.
Thanks, theinspector!

i tried this lollipop its not working moving to sdcard.
im searching lollipop root for sony z ultra but dont have im deleted lollipop i hate this.
Because we cant moving apps to sdcard.
I had no problems moving apps to sd... You are doing it wrong... No root necessary
I am still on 4.4.4 with root and LB as I dont want to upgrade to lollipop and lose root+x reality. The update detail says "move apps to sd card" so I guess we can only move apps.
Yes, I believe you can move some apps to SD card ? . I believe it mentions this on Sony Xperia™ support site.

You can move apps to SD cards. But they don't support to write access to SD cards for files . Using third party apps.
example uKto, Share it , etc

So it still has the same problem as 4.4, damn it, why would they do that... I guess I'll wait for an easy and tested root method before upgrading then.

this is true. although some apps have workarounds (ex. x-plore), a lot of apps still can't write to sd with lollipop 5.0.2 on xperia.
I'm unable to move my apps installed on Honor 5X - L22 (indian) model - Using Class 4 Memory card - 4Gb, is that an issue using low Class SD Card does not allow apps to be moved ??
Tried using Apps to move Apps but unable to detect them to move ? Are those locked ? Yet patches will fix this issue on this Stock ROM - Not Rooted.

Right i'm able to move indvidual apps through apps. But still unable to make it at smooth.
Settings-> Manage Apps. Click on the app you want to move and click 'Move to sd Card'. Once moved to sd card, the button description will change to 'Move to Phone'. If the app is a system app, it may have this button disabled. If your not root, then I would suggest you root your phone to give you more permissions (these buttons may be disabled on non-root devices). Your sd card is fine, it maybe slow, but it should still work. There are apps on the market which can move apps to sd card but they may require root.

What exactly does rooting mean?
And why do people brick their phone when trying it?!

Root is the process of elevating your your rights on your system just as Administrator with Windows or root with Linux.
This has mostly nothing to do with bricking a phone but with flashing custom ROMs with some flashalcoholic guys...
It's the same story as with alcohol or with drugs, you know its bad and not good for your health but there is that insane curiosity, and with some guys they will continue even though they have had bad experiences...
Instead, with root when done and use correctly is a very powerful and wonderful tool !

So in order to gain root access I'd have to flash a custom ROM, which is a new OS?

In order to flash a custom ROM you have to first have root in the first place. Root gives you the permission to do things on your phone when normally you wouldn't beable to do so (Like flash a custom ROM {which means modified OS}).
You should search the forums and get good at searching the forums and google. Internet peeps don't like people who ask questions that have already been answered. Just a piece of friendly advice yo.
