Can you install apps or move app data from internal storage to external micro sd card? I sure hope O4X won't have problems like the SGS3 has here.
no, you don't move app with default app manager.... sorry for my bad english
No problem with your English. Anyway, is there any way to move large data files to external micro sd? With just 16gb of internal memory in O4X and huge hd games over 1gb each, makes it that much more frustrating to own a 64gb micro sdxc and not really be able to maximize it.
eh ... unfortunately is a problem with this phone .. s also the galaxy 3 has the same problem .... if successed to make the root will change things
PS: SORRY FOR BAD ENGLISH
Yup I've read about DirectoryBind over at the SGS3 forums. I think that may do the trick.
all we need to do.. is "waiting for root". ^^ hope some one can root this device soon.
Root is on the way. Once we get root it should be easy as apple pie I hope)

I had a whole bunch of questions but I answered a few myself.
One thing I'm still wondering about though is how to get apps/games like Caligo Chaser who download additional content to the /sd folder which is the INTERNAL SD to store that data in /sd/external_sd the EXTERNAL SD.
I wanted to do it by symlinking but then I found out both the internal and the external are fat32 formatted.. so that doesnt work.
I searched google and this forum but I couldnt find any good information on this.
This should affect many apps which download/store stuff on the "SD".
Can you set the "default" data storage directory or something? Or would you have to change the mounts so that the external is /sd and the internal gets a new name?
When I move apps to the SD via application settings they are really put on the external_sd.. so that works.. but why can't the additional (usually bigger too) data be moved to the external too?
Please please this bugs me so hard, someone try to answer this one please.
bump because i changed the whole thing
I believe its a android design. Not everyone has a sd nor should they need to. I guess Google relized that 2gigs is not enough for apps and data so in froyo you can move apps to sd card if it supports it. You can't move data as it could lead to problems when you remove sd card. As far as i know the galaxy s is only phones with more then the stock standard 2gigs of internal ram.

Hi I have upgraded my Galaxy S to Froyo with "official" firmware, everything is running ok, I also installed the OneClick LagFix (this change my quadrant from 892 to 1915) but now I only have 400Mb free in the phone memory, I would like to move some apps to the SD but I get the following error "Error moving app. There is not enough memory" (Possible this is not the correct message, i get this message in spanish )
I dont have a external SD, but I have 14Gb free in the internal SD, is not possible move apps to this memory?
Thx in advance
install Froyo, then you can run apps from External SD

yes, but all the apps needs to be re-installed and select External SD during install
or you can force them to External and hope it works with those 3rd party programs that moves apps to External SD
Thx AllGamers, I would like to install in the internal SD partition that have 14Gb free, because I don´t have external SD
Thx in advance
there are tons of 3rd party apps to choose from that helps you manage where you want your apps to go, check these out:

APPs into external SD card
I've a question, is possible to install the apps into the external microSD card?
I know that Froyo permit to do it but only into the internale SD card and i want to use the external one (i've bought a 32Gb for it!!)
Have you any solution?
Thank you!!
I've tried to send my apps to the internal sd card but whenever I click move to sd card it tells me I havnt got enough memory so I thought they go on the externel sd card?

I too have a 32Gb card installed.
You can move the apps and there are a number of 3rd party apps that will do this for you quickly or you can do it from settings in managing the applications. I found that this was not the space saving solution that I thought it would be.
It is the data that needs to be moved, e.g., DoggCatcher is my news reader and it had about 3Gb worth of data. Moving the app didn't save any space but using the setting in the program to move the data did the trick. Play around with moving a couple of apps and see what you get and check to see if the app will allow you to move the data to a new location.
Some apps simply stock pile a lot of data. My eBook program, Audible which I can't do without is another one - over 1.5Gb. I'll contact Audible about this one.
some times when you check on sites like AppsBrain
it will tell you if the App is App2SD compatible
meaning it can be isntall to SD also data store on SD
as mpierce said, it's pretty useless to force a program to SD, meanwhile the heavy stuff remains in the phone internals

Can everyone please read before replying?? He wants to move his apps to the INTERNAL SD (so do I) and NOT the external SD. This is not possible as far as I'm concerned. Got the same error as luishchorradas.

Hi
actually u cannot move ur apps to the internal sd card as internal sd card (16 gb) is only meant for media (videos, songs etc.) and if u want more 16gb for ur apps u will hv to put an external sd card (galaxy s supports 16gb) and ya if u move to sd it will move to external sd card.
Thnx

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. But I don't believe "move to SD" moves anything to the external SD card. The apps move to the internal SD card. Yes unmounting the SD card disables apps, but if you browse through the internal card, you'll still see them sitting there.
Me to, same problem, no google search helps :-(

sorry for necro'ing but it does indeed move it to the external SD, i've tried moving a couple apps with my Galaxy S to the, as it says, "move to USB memory" but as i check the free memory, it used the external SD memory, not the internal.
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.

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?
Hello masters,
I recently root my moto G because the storage is not enough when I want install some new apps. 8G is too small!
I want to use my 32G external sd card as the internal sd card. I found some people use root explorer to modify the vold.fstab, but I didn't find this document in my phone.
By the way, now I install the system-The Titan Prime ROM[APRIL 26](Version 1.1.0 STABLE). I don't know if the 5.0.2 has the vold.fstab document.
Anyone can help me to solve my problem?
Thanks a lot! I come from China, and I used to reading some experience post which is translated from XDA. Now I just go directly to the headquarter, feeling good.
Hoping someone can help me..........
Please come and help me~
There is nobody............
Don't think changing fstab is safe.... But I'm a noob.
It's better to move obb files to external using folder mount
I personally wouldn't even try. It's iffy at best and some apps just won't operate correctly that way. Just go into your apps settings and move what will move to the SD card then go into the storage settings from time to time and delete the cache. Even moving some apps to SD will give you problems so you may have to move some back if you experience problems.

Hi friends,
Using Galaxy S5 G900H Variant with Lollipop. Please help me here. How can make my SD card as the default storage. Everything from the downloaded files to whatsapp folder.. is being used by internal storage. Please help me make my external as the default storage.
Default is the way it works, you can try the app foldermount, riding folders on the external SD so you do space

Hi.
Move whatsapp application to SD card. This might work.
Sorry, no such option . Just checked.

Pretty pathetic that Android still won't allow SDCard as default storage, how long has Android been around vs Windows Phone? And Windows Phone can already do it
If you're brave, you can root your phone and download an app called link2sd. Then you have to partition your sd card and you can move anything (to my understanding) to the SD card. I'm gonna do it tonight, I'll let you know how I go!
Partitioning went real well! I'm gonna add a bigger partition tonight. Feel free to PM me for details!
I personally thing its a bad idea as SD cards are slower than the builtin storage. I would like to be able to move more data to the SD card, generally keep all my media on the SD card and move a few apps. Keep rest on the internal and keep it clean.
I have a 128GB high performance SD card that has quick read and write speeds and it works fine for me- I reckon it's a matter of preference.
I'm around my link2sd/partition for about a week...
Hope you can help me!
