Oh boy, it says in description that it manages apps. Says it has option to save to sd card(not protected apps). I have apps to sd so dont know if it really works, can anyone confirm that it installs apps to sd card?
It saves the apk of installed apps to the SD card, and it can install apps from apks on the SD card. But it does not install apps TO the SD card. I can't run apps from my SD card (to save internal memory) using this program.
Damn, oh well thanks man!
My HTC Hero is running low on memory space (I have Apps2sd installed also, but it can't move all apps), so I partitioned my 8G SD card with ROM manager, with 32M swap, 1g ext4 and the rest being FAT32.
After reboot, I still only see 160M of internal memory from settings, which is the original, and about 6.1G on SD card. That means it already took out the 1G, but why I don't see it as internal memory? Is it because of ex4? I tried ex3 too and got the same.
I have backed up the original SD card, but have not copied it back to the partitioned SD card yet. Anything else I need to do in order to see the expanded Internal Memory?
Thanks in advance!

Your sdcard space has nothing to do with internal memory. What you need to do if you want to have more space is 1 or 2 of a few different things: go into root explorer, move apps from /data/app to /system/app; Use Firerat's Custom MTD Partitions
either of those should give you more internal memory.

I read that after partitioning the SD card, apps will be installed into the ext3/4 partition automatically. But that's not the case after I partitioned. Then I found I need to install app2sd+ instead of app2sd. Is that true?
Where do I download app2sd+ ? do I need to flash a different ROM? I am having CM 6.2.0 now.
Thanks!

CM6.2 has native apps2sd. Go to settings>CM settings>Application settings and select "Allow application moving", then select "External" for Isntall location.
Also, you can move apps that don't install or allow swap to the SD via Titanium Backup.
Just be warned that any apps that have widgets lose widget functionality if you move them to the SD.

Does it install ALL apps to SD card? I thought it's the same as App2sd, only moving those apps that specified by the developers as movable. And there are many apps that can't be moved to external.
My understanding is by partitioning the SD card, the EXT2/3/4 part is considered as part of the "internal memory" so that ALL apps will be installed here, thus free the real internal memory and lead to better performance.
The problem is it doesn't work after partitioning and I read that it needs app2sd+ or app2sd EXT to work, and I am having trouble finding them...
Thanks any way.

Not all, but most. Like BrandoKC said, you can move more apps to the sd using Titanium Backup. Don't move anything with a widget you use, or it won't work anymore.

Are you talking about the paid version of Titanium? The free version doesn't have this feature.

CM's built-in Application Management can only move those apps that you can move by app2sd. I don't see such feature on the free Titanium Backup. My 160M internal memory is constantly under 20M of free memory.
I heard all the good things about using partitioned SD card. I have partitioned my card but that alone doesn't seem to work. it seems I also need to install some customized ROM on top of my CM 6.2 so that apps will be automatically installed on SD?
Thanks!
The free version of titanium does have it. I just used it on my fiances phone last weekend.

STOCK BASED ROM:how to set install location to internal memory?? that is how to force apps to install to internal?? su pm setinstalllocation 1 doesn't work...after setinstalllocation 1 if i enter command getinstalllocation it shows 1 (internal) still apps dont get installed to internal!! please help
Some applications request to install to the sd card, as long as there is an sd card, it will install to sd card, perhaps manually moving them would be the solution. It isn't a very good idea to store all the applications to the internal memory as it is limited, unless you have a kernel with memory hack.

YES I DO have an int2ext4+ script so memory isn't a problem for me...in cm7 roms it's able to install all apps automatically to internal...but stock sucks at it!!
Hi, I have a Moto G 2014 with Stock 5.0.2 rooted, and I bought a 32GB SD Card a few days ago. The thing is that everything is still going to the internal memory, instead of the SD (photos, downloads, etc.), so I want to know if it's a way to make everything write on the SD card without messing up the phone (I heard I can mount SD in /sdcard changing init.rc but I don't want to do that). I also want to move my WhatsApp chats to the SD too, hehehehe (WhatsApp data is in the internal :'c)
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
For the photos and videos part, you can select from the camera application if you want to store them in the internal memory or on the SD card. For applications I think they are installed in the internal memory by default but you can move them after installation on the SD card by going to settings -> apps -> touch app -> move to SD card. To change the default installation location you need the android SDK installed on your PC and adb and then to edit a file. But I do not recommend this since the SD card is not accessible while the phone is connected to the PC. This will make applications that always run to work improperly(widgets, Facebook, etc. might generate a lot of errors because of it).
I think it's a Xposed module for that.

if you're rooted then try link2sd from play store. you need to have an ext partition on your sd card for this to work.
if you are not rooted then you will have to manually create symlinks to the files on the sd card.

Better try Link2SD. The procedure to turn your external SD to internal storage causes a lot of trouble in most cases.
There are also scripts that link the possible apps and libraries automatically to the SD card when installing them.
I looked for topics but couldnot see anything about this.
I have 32 gb sd card. Despite i moved some apps, phone memory is full now. i cant install anything. i cleared cache but still no place.
I think there are 2 choices, make sd card as internal or divide some part of sd card as internal.
OR are there any ways?
I did not install anything since i bought this phone. no root no upgrade no cwm.
Any help?
See attached file for reference. Uninstall bloatwares if you're rooted. supersu preferred. I opted to use SD Card as my default write disk together with Link2Sd Plus. Linked all my games to my SD. I am enjoying this phone setup at the moment.
What are the steps, i cant understnd.
