You should partition your sdcard through CWM. After that, you have to move apps to sdcard.
Also, make sure you have higher class sd card, otherwise it may lag.
U can also use link 2 SD app to link apps to SD
Yo can also create partition using mini tool partition wizard...
Or u can also use s2e on custom rom..

WOW. So Galaxy mini supports 32GB sd cards?
I went to a store and asked for a 8GB sd card but they said that the phone doesnt support it and it will not work. Maximum was 4GB they said.
Damn, I should go and buy a 8GB sd card. But why would you need a 32GB SDCard for Galaxy Mini. It will make your phone so laggy and it will take years to 'Media Scan" to complete.
Cheers anyways.

Hi there, I know that theres a lot of posts on this forum regarding this issue but i didn't find comprehensive answer to how to move Apps to an External SD card on the G Note.
I'm not an expert with Android as I am in the transition from the iPhone, but I'm not too much of a noob as I have a bit of knowledge due to hacking and jailbreaking with the iPhone.
Now here is my problem. I have a lot of Apps that are hogging my storage and I have come to a point where I cannot install anymore Apps. When I try to copy it to the external SD card (16gb Class 10), it is actually copying it to the internal SD card. I have tried all those Apps like App2SD and I still haven't had any luck. I even tried all the tutorials on this site and still no luck.
I know there are easy methods with Froyo, but I don't want to downgrade as I am currently on "ICS(4.0.4) Stunner Beta 5.0" and it runs like a dream on the Note! If worse case scenario that I have to downgrade to achieve this, the lowest I will go back to is a factory rooted Gingerbread.
Even when I was on factory rooted Gingerbread I still had this same problem before the upgrade.
Right now the only way is to edit vold.fstab file but that will cause bigger issues with ICS and Stunner in particular
Your best hope is wait for a new version of Stunner where the internal sd card is mounted @ /mnt/emmc and the external sd card is mounted @ /mnt/sdcard and that should solve your issues completely
I read Neo talking about it and I think he will implement this structure in the next release
Thanks for the quick reply! Thats great news.. If i have to wait for a Stunner update, is there another ICS or Gingerbread release or tweak that could fix this?

I have micromax funbook with ICS 4.0.3..in my tablet internal sd card is mounted @ /mnt/sdcard and the external sd card is mounted @ /mnt/extsd - Even I need a solution as most HD games are huge and its usable internal memory is only around 2gb.
In my friends Samsung Galaxy S external sd card was mounted as "sd card" and we were able to move installed apps to 16gb memory card need this fix.

GL to SD. Basically it can move all/selected gameloft games to EXTERNAL SD card
Dont forget to thank if it works!!
Any solutions?
It has been 2 years. Has anyone found a solution to transfer huge games from internal SD card to external SD card..?

Try searching re-partitioning your internal memory. It increases your current 2 GB Max internal memory to 4-6-8-10 GB by reducing your internal sd card. This way you can install many apps without having to move it here n there. thread is by @metalgearhathaway.
A problem
Actually, i modified the vold.fstab file and partially bricked my tablet. It gets stuck on the booting logo and recovery console seems to be useless because the wipe data/factory reset option doesn't work. It's an A23 based 7 inch tablet for which i'm unable to find a ROM to flash it with. Any help would be appreciated. Or is there any way to re-modify the vold.fstab file to the old state? Or to reset the ROM?
Where did my storage go Galaxy Note
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am using this ROM on my Galaxy Note. After downloading my normal apps I tried to move them to SD and I get an error message stating "unable to move app. Not enough storage space"
Device memory shows: 1.6GB used
401MB Free
I have a 64GB SD card which has backups and media and the device can see and read and write to the SD Card.
When I look under settings and storage it says:
device memory:
Total space 1.97GB
Applications 1.56GB
Available : 295MB
USB Storage
Total space 11.07GB
Applications 162MB
Pictures, videos 190MB
Audio 9.31 MB
Miscellaneous files: 9.15GB
Available 6.78GB
SD Card
Total space 59.36GB
Available: 54.14
Can someone tell me why I am getting that error about not enough space. I don't understand. Is there a safe mod I can make so that I get more storage. Please assist.
Because app storage is 2GB only it is reserved even you put a 3TB ssd on it, it will not grow. Clean up some apps or search for apps2sd a application that can move SOME apps to the sd.
NOTE some apps will not run if you move to the sd or will run but they will not perform well.

Just figured it out on Friday. The 64GB card was formated FAT32. I had to insert the card and format it using the phone. Thanks

i have the same issue but my SD is 8GB only
I have bought Sandisk microSDXC 64GB class 10 UHS1. When I put it in my computer using USB2.0 Kingston Mobile Reader it could not recognise it. I removed it and I placed it in my Galaxy Note. I went into clockworkmod 6.19 (Non Touch) and I partitioned the card with 2GB or 4GB (I do not remember exactly!!!) and Swap size 256k. When my phone restarted, the phone did not recognize the card. Therefore, I went through the internet to find a solution. I found the program "EaseUS Partition Master 9.1.1 Home Edition" and reformatted the card with FAT32 and cluster size 32KB. When it finally finished, it gave me the size 27.46GB!! I reformatted through SD Formatter 3.0 hoping that the partition used through Clockworkmod messed up the actual size of the card. I successfully re-formatted the card, however the size remained the same. I know that the size of a microSDHC card 32GB is around 29GB, therefore it does not explain size 27.46GB.
My question now, if there is an answer!!! Is the card faulty or did Clockworkmod messed with the card?
Please advise if possible!
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, because I think this a very strange story!

I think that the CWM messed up with the SD partition. Try to format in Windows ad tell me the results.
if I'm correct 32gb is the max for the n7000. Note II does up to 64gb
Nope. I have the same card and it shows me all of the space(about 59gb) and i juat put it in the phone.

Could be the reason OR the Card Reader may not be compatible with SDXC...
I got a Transcent dual (micro and standard Card reader) which works fine while some others incompatible.
Once he got the good card reader, he should try to format first the SDXC as exFat (on Windows 7) to be sure he got 64GB, then to get it work on the G-Note is another story...
I had to copy some files (any kind) on the card, then when plugged on the G-Note, the system detect an issue and propose to format the card (watch carefully at the messages)... When done, all is good !

Thank you for your answers! I have no solution, but I sent the card for a replacement and Im getting a Sandisk USB 3.0 Reader, so as soon as check I will inform with the results!
As we all know the android one comes with limited internal storage storage and media (pics,documents,videos) can only be stored on the external sdcard. On the forum there are various methods to swap storage size , however on doing so storage space for media will be limited to fixed 2 gb space currently available for internal storage. I was wondering if it is possible to partition a 32gb class 10 sd card and use 16 gb each for external and internal storage. I wouldn't mind if the internal phone storage would have to be abandoned in doing so.
Has any one successfully done this..

Yes you can do that using link2sd.
Check this out.
I have made a 4GB ext4 partition on my 16GB sd card and I keep all my apps stored in the 4GB partition. And 10GB is kept as media storage.

So download the zip file from the attachment. You will find link2sd app and a patcher that makes the app link2sd plus and is totally functional... And other things about link2sd is nicely explained in this site, https://awanstuff.wordpress.com/201...ink2sd-in-any-android-phone-with-screenshots/ Just keep in mind to create a ext4 partition instead of ext2 and you are good to go. And I would suggest you to use high speed sd cards preferably class 10 and higher if you want a smooth experience on your lollipop rom. I use class 10 ultra from sandisk. And my apps run buttery smooth...

I am also using class 4 sd card, it is working fine. Have you formated one partition in FAT32 and another in EXT4
Hello everyone,
I got my phone yesterday. When I inserted the SD card in the phone, it showed me that the SD card is not supported & it asked me to format the card as an internal storage. It's a Samsung Evo Plus 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 memory card. Is this a problem with the phone or the memory card ? The memory card was working perfectly fine until yesterday evening in my Moto G5 Plus.
I'm on the lest version of software i.e. Android 8.1 with April 2018 security patch.
Please advise...
sorry, but can you provide a screenshot of the storage settings page? might be helpful for my own case, thanks!

I also did the same. But the memory card did not take data more than 30 GB in it. I had my previous data of 37 GB, but out of that only 30 GB got copied back in the card. Also now when I try to format the SD card, it shows the device is write protected.
Have you try to format it with a computer?
Maybe your card is counterfeit sd card, (one of my friend buy a samsug 32 go, but he received a 2 go sd card..), you can check your card capacity on computer with H2testw, it's freeware you can easily download. I only find french links, so you can google it
Software is in english and german.

No problem with your sd card. Nokia phones does not support exFat
