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:

This Apps runs OK only if you have a External SD, but I'd like to move to internal SD in Galaxy S
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?

Q. I can move an app to SD w/o problem but the data file that is consuming a large portion of my internal memo stays on internal SD. Is there a way to move the app and it's data to the SD?

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

Finally ... Thanx Coolfriend for you help
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.
Hello,
I tried to use Directory Bind, but when my internal memory was about 9GB free and I had moved about those 9GB to external SD, I cant anything install to internal memory(it is necessary first to move it with directory bind).
So the result was, that all moved games and applications were in internal memory despite the phone shows me 9GB of internal memory.
So, my question and big problem is:
How can I move games and apps to external SD card?
Have you some method, have can I done it?
Would be very grateful.

You can use the app of "GL to SD" found in the market, it can help you to move the game data (not apps) from internal memory to external sd card. The theory of this app is used to simulate the external sd card act as a internal memory card, thus, you need to activate this app before playing the game that you moved. Importantly, a rooted device is required.
the stupidity of LG it not use the external sdcard option that provide by android
event we force it to use that option in console mode using
pm set_install_location
that stupid LG still install the app/game in internal sdcard

The app covers not only gameloft games, but also include of games manufactured by others. In the setup menu, you should tick the boxes of "sdcard/android" and " sdcard/data' under the item of "Add mounted folder". After exit the setup menu, click the " move the data" box and select which game you want to move to sd card. Finally, activate the game.

Could you have possibly missed a step in making DirectoryBind work?
The post above about GL to SD might be the only way then, though it's such a hassle to have to activate it each time you'll run an app with data stored in external SD.
Maybe its possible that I made some step wrong, but everything works fine until the 9GB amount of data moved to external SD card with 9GB free in internal memory.
It looks certainly like a problem with binding from internal memory to external SD card and I must had to do a factory reset.
A friend of mine with Optimus 4X started to use Directory Bind too, but had the same issue as me.
I never gave him a solution to use Directory Bind, so theres probably problem with compatibility...
Of course, I would be very appreciated for help how to use properly Directory Bind on Optimus 4x, because is so simple and comfort...

In the app, you can press the android LED menu button at the lower right-hand corner, then you will see the setup menu.
After the step of moving data and exit the setup menu, you will also see the list of the game that you moved before, then you can activate the game.

Just want to clarify something. Did you mean earlier that every time you want to open an app that has the data stored in external micro sd, you'll have to activate GL to SD first?

Activate the GL to SD means that the external sd card is mounted into internal memory card, thus, you just activate a game that you moved before in first time, then the other games are not necessary to activate in next time until if you unmount the external sd card by means of GL to SD.

I can't compare which one is better because I have never used the method of DirectoryBind before. But for me, GL to SD was really useful when I used LG Optimus 2x which had only 5GB internal storage. SD Card can share the heavy load from the internal memory.
what our internal partition is it ext3 or ext 4 because i want to partition my sd card
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
I have external SD formatted to FAT32 and GL to SD just now really works for me :good:
Some games you cannot move, but the most of them you can move.
Then you must games starting through the GL to SD app, because they are moved to external SD.
Im taking all back.
This application doesnt work properly on my Optimus 4X.
You can move everything on your external SD card, but it will take up same amount of space in your internal memory as on your external SD card memory.
So, its the same issue as with Directory Bind
Maybe Im doing something wrong? I have all of my external SD card formatted to FAT32.

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.

Yes... There is only one way... Which is... You have to make your SD card to portable storage.... Before doing this action take a backup of your SD card... After completing the process you will see your internal storage's contents again on file manager or explorer.

From your answer , I understand that if the sd card is internal storage, there is no way to move media files to the card and to be visible. Am I right?

Once your card is set as internal, then there is virtually no difference in the SD card storage and the 8gb internal storage. After formatting to internal SD card, the storage becomes "internal shared storage" and anything on internal or SD is treated as a single storage. So basically if any file is in internal or SD will then make no difference to the way Android will detect it.
However, I shall tell you a difference.
After formatting SD as internal, the internal goes to the location /data/media and SD goes to /sdcard

I don't understand. In the phone's settings-->storage and usb, I see internal storage and sd scan disc. Also in phone's file manager, I see only internal storage, which is the phone's internal storage and not the formated as internak storage sd card. Also in ES file explorer I see sd card and storage with emulated folder and self folder and nothing else in it. Also the only way to see the option to move media files from internal storage to sd, is when I connect a usb flash drive and after they moved to sd card they become invisible and the phone's media apps don't detect them.

Bro I told you all that is completely normal and is working just as it should.
Your SD card is now treated as a part of your internal storage.
I have a 16gb card as internal. See the ss below to see what the settings treat it as...
This means that if you have any pics, or videos, then it doesn't matter whether they are on SD or on internal, because they are basically the same.
As far as transferring stuff to other devices, lemme tell you that SD as internal won't work with other devices... So if you have a pic on SD and you remove SD and plug it in your PC using USB adapter to view it, then you will not see anything...
The only way for transfers is
1) Apps like ShareIt
2) USB to phone.
BTW internal SD will only help you if you want to install more Apps than allowed by the internal 8gb storage alone.

Bro. First of all :
After SD as internal format, all pics start going to SD card instead of internal. Internal storage is pushed with apps and data with the option of moving some apps to SD card too.
It's too simple but you seemingly don't understand it.

I do my best to stay away from posts that are too noobish. It would just waste my time. And if I reply to you, then I certainly feel that the post should not be ignored.
Also, I was not aggressive at all. I was just straight forward.
Your statement has left a scar though. I will never help you on this forum anymore. Best of luck getting help from other people who might come up once a while. It really hurts when you try to help but no one cares.

Hey if you didn't figure it out yet it's simple you need to format the sd and an option will show to choose for external or internal storage you can also find an app to partition some of the sd for rom expand but it kills the sd fast.
I would really like to do this also... I can move some apps to sd not all the ones I want to.. I have rooted and tried different apps to do this. I do not get the option to use some of sd as internal after formatting. 32gb model with 64gb sd

Newer tablets no longer allow this because it is a very bad idea. Internal storage is MANY times faster than the SD cards and allowing apps to run from the SD card would make the device very "laggy".
