How do I move apps to the external SD card versus what titanium calls the SD card?

I was under the impression that many apps have a hard time running from the external.

If your taking about manualy backing up your downloaded apps. You can use Root explore or ES file explore with root access added through setting. Go to /data/apps and select all to copy to you external SD. Hope thats the answer you need.

I wanted to check if there is going to be any issue of using my sdcard from my droid 2 with my droid 3 and if I will have issues restore apps from the sdcard using titanium?
Or should I just copy files from my sdcard to computer and format card and start fresh?
Hard Bricked my Droid 2 and they are replacing it with a Droid 3.
I'm pretty sure you won't have an issue, but then again I could be wrong. i would just try and if it doesn't work just copy to computer, format card and paste all the important files such as music back onto the sd card
It will work without a hitch

Everything seems to be fine, except that after rooting my phone and putting Titanium Backup Pro back on it isnt recognizing the apps that are backed up in the TP folder. I can see them there with file manager but titanium doesnt see them.
Titanium uses the internal memory not ext sd to store backups by default on the D3. change the back up folder in titanium or move the folder to the int mem.

Thanks I moved them from the sd-ext folder to the sd folder, worked great.
I did the same basic migration from a D1 to the D3 and it worked perfectly... after I noticed that internal storaged was mounted as /sdcard and the sdcard was mounted as /sdcard-ext. Gotta love backwards compatibility!

Does the .906 update change how the sd card is read? Since the update rom toolbox pro root browser doesn't read internal sd card only external. Other apps don't have this issue such as es file explorer.

Since the update works on a deeper level than apps, I'd assume it's an app issue being that other apps can still browse the SD card.

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?
Hi,
I would like to know if there is any way to make ext sd card the default one and not the internal sd card? Cause right now, I can't restore certain backups from previous phones as the various apps wont detect. It can only search the internal storage, and is unable to search the storage in the external sd card.
Any app or setting that can do this?
Thank you!
An app like ROM Toolbox should let you browse to the ext sd card to choose a backup. Am I understanding your question correctly?

Hmm, not really actually. An example would be Whatsapp. It backs up to my sd card in my old phone. However, after switching to Droid 4, I can't restore the messages because now it backs up to the internal sd card and not the ext-sd card.
For those that are wanting more storage on your rooted Samsung Galaxy S4, (running SlimKat) there is no need to download an app or run a certain program through Terminal Emulator or any other program. The easiest way to accomplish this is simple. Just unroot your device, install your apps onto an external SD Card, unmount your SD Card, reroot your S4, install whatever ROM you want & THEN, & ONLY THEN DO YOU remount your SD Card & VOILA, you will have all your apps on your SD Card. Now, I understand that with some ROM's you can move apps to the SD Card, but with every ROM that I've flashed, you can't move them, so I had to find out a way to create more space & this was by far the easiest.
This may help

Why would you need to root or unroot to tap "Move to SD card" in the App info?
That option was not available for me while using the SlimKat ROM.
