Can someone give me an explanation on the file system on i9000. Under the root folder, there is an sd card folder, and under sd card folder, there is an ext sd folder. I wonder is there any way to move app to that ext sd folder instead sd folder? Any idea thanks!

Hello I am new to this site and new to android in general. First, some info on my phone.
_ Unlocked bootloader
-Rooted
-ICS 4.0.3
-32gb SanDisk Micro SDHC card with 2 primary partitions
I am having trouble moving anything to my SD card via the phone. When I go to the app menu and try to move an app I only get the option to "Move to Phone Storage." I have searched on google and everyone just makes mention to use a program like link2sd. I've tried using that, and even after creating symbiotic link the apps still only move to phone storage. The program says they are on SD card, but my SD card data usage says otherwise.
My phone does acknowledge the presence of an SD card in the Settings > Storage menu. I am unable to view the contents of the SD card on any of the file explorers either, when I click the SD card all I see are the contents of phone storage. I am able to view and open contents of the SD card by using root explorer under the sdcard2 directory. If I transfer music and photos to the SD card from my PC I can access them with the appropriate widgets on my phone.
So to simplify my post: Is there any way to move an app to the SD card with this device / ICS? The actual external SD card, not the internal phone storage.
Thank you.
I'm not 100% but... In wcx recovery... I think there is an option to switch internal/external storage...
Maybe someone has tried it?

I actually moved an app to ext.sd using root explorer it basically just copied it.the app I moved was app monster when I used the app it showed internal .when I selected scan sdcard it brought up everything from internal and external .

Titanium Backup does this really well. You can do a batch operation to move all user apps to external SD.

Doesn't Astro File Manager do basically the same thing?
Currentaly i have a 32GB SD card.
and 8GB internal SD card.
every game that need an .obb file save it automataically in "Internal SD card".
There is a way to set the extSD card as default ?
Anybody ??

find it yourself please... hehe the name of that action is "swap sd card"... it's by changing fold.vstab file in the system. You need root of course. But I forget how.
Did you not bother to look through Q&A?
I tried to copy around 2GB of files from my internal Memory to the External SD Card and a dialogue box appeared saying I need to root and use SDcard Fix to be able to move files using the file manager[Solid Explorer]
Suddenly I regret buying this phone because why would I need to unlock bootloader and root just to be able to move files from Internal Memory to External sdcard?:crying:
I don't have such problem accessing (copy move delete) sd card. I'm using X-plore file manager
while some apps like Nexus otg file manager have problem copying files to sd card, don't know why
Try ES File Explorer. No problems here with no root.

Hi there,
The medscape app downloads its database to internal storage, is there anyway to move the folder to sd card?
Link2SD doesn't link the database folder and folder mount shows permission error as far as I remember
How can I move or link this folder to SD Card on Nokia X2?
Thanks

If you have partitioned your sdcard then you can move the apps to your second partition
if you want to know how to partition Check this out!
Hi,
My phone is installed by a pre-rooted MM rom and currently it's working welll without any problem.
But I found out one issue for sd card name.
internal memory name is under 'sdcard'.
sd memory(External) name is under 'storage/9016-4EF8'.
I think some app's data is not moved to sd card(External) due to that sd memory name.
For example, I installed "Day" app and data is saved both 'Internal' and 'Ext' in Link2SD app and App2SD app.
I checked file location for the app using 'Link2SD' but app's file location is still in the Internal.
Internal - Data(Data in Link2Sd) : /data/user/0/com.osmino.day
External - Data on SD Card(Data(Ext.) in Link2Sd) : /data/media/0/Android/data/com.osmino.day (Why internal???)
So I could not move data to Data(Ext.) because it's already recognized Data(Ext.) to extern SD card.
I think External SD Card file location would be like this "/storage/9016-4EF8/data/media/0/Android/data/com.osmino.day".
How can I change sd card and internal name or move to external sd card to move to external SD Card?
Do you have any idea?
Thank you.

There are several paths to the external SD card with MM
/storage/exfat_uuid
is probably the shortest.
Download a copy of root explorer and familiarise yourself with the new MM file structure, it's not complicated, it just has new names from LL.
Using apps to move other apps onto the SD card doesn't sound like a recipe for success.
Let the Sony app manager do it.
thanks for reply.
then how can i move data to real external sd?
my storage is not enough so i need moving.
i think some app try to install data in external sd. I think many apps try to find sdcard named. currently sd card is internal memory. and exact sd card name is storage/9016-4ef8. i think that's why my internal memory is not enough.

Take the SD card out, save the data on it, then format it
When you put it back in your phone and it asks you what to do with the SD card, DO NOT format as internal storage. This feature doesn't really work, or if you do get it to work. then it's really buggy and apps can't use it.
Once you have the SD card working, just use settings/apps/*your app* In the first bar down it will say where the app is stored and if you click on it, it will give you the option to move it.
