So everytime you flash, you most likely have to use titanium to restore all apps. And I have about 40apps movable to the sd card.
I use 'app to sd free' which makes me click move to sd so many times and it takes a lot of time. plus I flash a lot so it really makes me sort of mad...
Now my question is why do we need to move it to sd? Is it simply for more space?.
I have a lot of leftover storage so is it necessary for me to move my apps to sd? Does it do anything else?
Or is there an app that moves everything with one click?

Moving to sd is just more space for apps, more than the 2gb or so where they are normally installed. That's it.
Idk about any other apps to move in one click, all of mine are still in the normal place.
moving to SD is impemented wrong on the cappy IMO, goes to external SD instead of internal SD, on boot it scans that SD last and will lag the whole system until its finished scanning on most launchers.
and moving to SD is better on devices that dont have 2 GB internal storage
just not worth it for us.

Hi.
Im running miui rom in my optimus 2x.
I have 3 options to storge.
Phone storage about 1 gb
Sd card storge about 5 gb
And external sd card about 16 gb
The problem is that basically i cant use the external sd card for apps and games,
i try all the move to sd card apps on market and all of tham only move from my phone storage to my sd card, so basically i only have 6gb in my phone.
Is there anyway to move tham to my external??
Tnx.
hmmmmm...
on cm you have an option to do so (settings/cyanogenmod/applications/use external sd for media)
but i don't know if miui has it too. Try looking for something like that
I looked everywhere, there isnt an option like this.
If you don't mind me asking, are you really out of storage to install apps?
Because o2x has an app storage space of 1.5gb excluding the internal 5gb flash memory, and most heavy games will store their game data on the 5gb internal flash mem, and only the basic apk will resides on the app space.
Running out of storage space is really hard achieve since even the heaviest game only consumes like 100mb? Which is mostly stored in the 5gb space. Unless you have hundreds of high end games installed, then you can run out of space .
All the new games need to download between 400-900 mb each, so yeah i runnig out of storge
Alright then, my mistake.
Anyway, I read that to swap sdcard as _externalSD vice versa is via CM7, I am not really sure how because I'm not using it, but I definately read about it before and it is doable. Hopefully someone can help you on the how..
Cheers!
there is a script for miui to swap so your microsd to become /sdcard check the android development

Hello, I am new in this phone and notice that internal SD is like main SD. I install some gameloft games(modern comabt 3 and asphalt 7 and etc) and all memory of 5.5GB internal SD is gone ;( but I have 16gb class 10 SD card, I put in phone, but still my phone storage games data and pictures and etc to internal SD. Can I make that my external SD 16gb would be main SD? I came from galaxy ace phone, and there was internal memory just 170~ mb, so games data was storage into my SD card. :/ Can I found some zip update to solve my problem? By the way I'm using CM7 nighties latest ROM.

try using app2SD application from playstore.....
but, just be sure if that works normal with your games.usually works well with apps.it will install ur apps to External SD.
else try using the CM7 based ROMs which allow you to choose the external SD card as main SD by default. I would recommend to try Stefan''s Hybrid 3.7 if you want to take the CM 7 route...
Hope it helps

You can change SD card mounting in settings! Perhaps in Settings,>App>debug and toggle out the internal SD as principal

shared internal storage, i think its a problem.
I find Directory Bind is a very useful little app for shifting app data onto the external SD card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
I found you have to check the "alternate dbase mgmt" option for it to work, but apart from that it works well to shift you big data directories wherever you want them.

I installed Verygreen's latest sd card update (5/12) and when I go into setup and look at storage, I only see the 2 gig, not the 32 gig internal memory. I hadn't seen anyone else with this problem.

That listing of internal memory is really the /data partition on the SD, not real internal memory. Your 32GB is listed under the other internal memory listing for internal SD.

I'm looking in the settings app. Under storage, there is only listed Internal storage (1.97 gb) and SD card (12.5 GB). The sd card is 16 gb. There is no other internal memory listing nor an internal SD listing.

It does not matter what system setting says. That was set up for running devices on internal memory, not SD. So the 1.97 is still your /data on SD, not the real internal memory. So look at sdcard with your file manager and you will see your external SD size. Look at emmc with file manager and it will show your internal media size (should be large). Since you are running on SD, /data is on SD and that confuses the CM settings readings.

What directory?
The issue you may be having is CM10.1 uses profiles, so they only give you a folder in internal media for your use. If you go to /int-data/media, you will see the entire media section that stock gives you. If you look there you will see a 0 folder, which is what CM10.1 lets you see as emmc for the primary user. If you add a second user, he gets a 10 folder. But you get the full capacity, just you don't see all the stock folders.

Ok, I finally downloaded a file manager that would let me see the /int-data folder. I went into the terminal and saw that the permission on this folder is set to --x for user.
I understand why android is setup this way, where the each user has his own folders, but there should be a default/initial user for the BN version that has read/write access to that folder.

How do I expand this internal memory to use the full SD card capacity? I can only load apps up to 1.97GB, but have 26GB free on the SD card.
Thanks.

You have three options.
The easiest is to just use settings/apps to move each app to SD. That puts the app on the media part of the SD (the 26GB) and frees up a lot of the 1.97GB on the SD.
A more difficult option is to use partitioning software to increase the size of partition 3 on the SD (the 1.97).
Another easier option is to use my Hybrid system linked in my signature. It puts all the apps on real internal memory (very large, not limited to 1.97).

--- Question: I have this same issue. I'm on 5/12 CM10.1 SD install. I have had other ROMs let you move the APPS to SD but no option in this build? I have 2gig for CM10.1 for everything. I have 12 gig free on SC CARD Partition? Ideas? Maybe I need to move to Hybrid version? Kinda weird why we have the SD partition but can't use it. Smooth so far though!

I was running cm10.1 from a 32gb sdcard. With my games and apps and my daughters games the card was almost full. I decided to install cm10.1 internally on the nook so I figured I would have more storage for apps. I actually have less now. I have the internal space for games now but can only put movies and music which I dont even use on the sdcard. Is there anyway to put applications on the sdcard? There is no move button in apps anymore. Thanks.

You should have much more app storage on with CM10.1 on internal than on SD. How do you figure you have less?
But if you transferred all your media files you had on the SD to internal media, you would have filled up internal space, leaving little space for apps. Apps and media files on internal share the same free space.
You cannot move apps to SD.
One solution is to move as many media files to the external SD (ext_sdcard) as possible, freeing space for apps.
Or another solution is to use my SD swap zip for CM10.1 on my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature (item 4). That makes it so CM10.1 uses the external SD to store media files automatically.

So if installed cm10.1 internally on my nook replacing the stock nook rom using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500
I will have more space for apps then when i ran it from my 32gb card? My nookhd has 8gb internal storage. After Installing the ROM internally to the device and installing games the internal storage keeps going up and my 32gb sd card is still empty as if the games and apps are all installing to the internal 8gb storage and not my card so I have 32 gb of wasted space. I have no desire to put movies and music on my tablet. Also when I go to settings apps theres no way to move games to sdcard anymore. How does it give me more space as you stated? Am I missing something.

On a 32GB SD set up for CM10.1, it is partitioned to allow 2GB for apps and 28 GB for media files (which includes some extra data files that games use, not just movies and music). That 28GB cannot be used for apps themselves.
On your 8GB HD, there is about 6GB available to be shared by apps and media files. That is not much room for apps if you load it up with media files (like game data). But if you were to do the swap zip as I suggested, the games no longer put their media files on internal, but on external. So you would have the full 6GB for apps and a full 32GB (on your external SD) for your media files.
