I just got my sandisk 64gb and wondering how can I move app data to sd card?. Yes, there is an option to move to sd in App settings, but this only moves apps itself, not app data.
I tried to use Titanium backup but see no options for moving apps to sd card? Please help. Thank you so much.

Okay, first of all, I have done a lot of search on this topic over various forums and google. Some topic pops up occasionally, but never got answered, strange...
Basically I am trying to figure out two things:
1. How to move apps to microSD card? Not a single definitive answer or tutorial would allow me to move apps to external SD card. I've tried app2sd, link2sd also the stock CM7 application manager, which all of them would only allow to move apps to internal storage of the phone which is called SD card for Galaxy SII. Also the microsd card is under the diretory of mnt/emmc. Some other tutorials suggesting moving game data over /sdcard/external_sd/, I tried as well, but my microSD's storage doens't go down so I assume the data is still on internal SD card.
2. How to enable apps to save user data automatically on micro sd card? For example, I have lots of camera apps, which automatically save photos that I took on /sdcard/DCIM, I want them to be on my micro SD card AUTOMATICALLY, is there a way of doing this?
Many thanks, oh btw, I am using cyanogenmod 7 on Galaxy SII
I cannot see much reason to move apps to external sd card with a sgs2, that is something for inferior phones , there is a lot of space on application storage and internal sd card for that.
Most people are fine by just moving media files to the external card.

how about my second question, i shot a lot of photos and hd videos daily, i know i can manully move them to external, but that Kinda make my gallery look clustered if you know what i mean.
Have you tried doin it internally via your phone:settings-applications-running services.On the top left touch on "downloaded" and all your downloaded apps will appear.Touch on whatever app you like and you will get the option to move,uninstall or clear data.Remember that not all downloaded apps are able to be moved to external sd and if the app you would like to move is unmovable by default then you will see that.
The problem is Android only likes one sd card. So when you have an internal SD card like the sg2 the system doesn't take advantage of your external sd card.

You can change storage area in camera settings (with stock camera app).
I have a 32GB card that can't be used to hold apps because App 2 SD moves everything to my internal 16GB SD memory. The solutions I've found so far haven't been helpful (mostly people suggesting going to Manage Applications, but that's what App 2 SD prompts anyway). Basically my card is just being used for media, and I install more apps than media. Any thoughts? Also, my phone is rooted, if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to move Navigon from Internal Storage to the Sd-ext location. When i get to the screen to move the app, it only says "move to media area"
It just stays in internal storage?.
Likewise other progs like Sprite Backup only see the internal sd card and not the ext card. Any ideas?

Can it affect an app or game's performance if you move it to be on the SD Card instead of keeping it on your phone?
I would say yes but not sure because your internal memory is faster than an sd card storage. Atleast usually. You can buy sd cards that are rated faster than what you would normally get with your phone. Similar to this you can adjust your sd card cache.

Not sure about games as I don't play many games on my phone. However if you're using an app with a widget you should not move it to the SD card.
it depens on your sd card class. I installed about 97 apps+games on both internal and external memory, there's still plenty of room left on my internal memory. I have a class 10 sdcard, and apps are load pretty fast. if you want to move your apps/games anyway, I suggest you to use link2sd as it can "force" move your apps into your sdcard (Titanium backup does the same too).
I have used both Link2sd and App 2 sd and i can't move apps to the external sd card. Both of these programs recognize as an sd card the 8gb internal memory of the phone. Is there any way i can fix this??
ps: My phone is rooted.
The app 'gl to sd' should fix games to ur sd problem

If you go to settings, storage, storage location settings, you can change storing between internal memory or your sd card.
There is no option to save third party app data to sd. Or am i missing it?
Everything send to be saving to the internal 16GB, not my sd.
Should i download a third party app to do this?
