[Q] Installing apps on SD card - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it not advisable to install (or at least try to/force with 3rd party apps like AppMgr III) apps on SD card? I've read on cyanogenmod forums that Google doesn't support SD card manufacturers thus this feature has been removed from the latest android versions. I have a 32 gb class 10 microSD and I would rather use this one for most of my apps, since the (usable) internal memory of S III mini is only 4.65 GB. What do you guys think?

Work fine for me with cm11 even with gta sa. Try this trick (works for me): move the content to the external sd card with any root explorer, then pin in FM (foldermount).

Thanks, but what's the steps? What should i do first?

Ok. Move you folder game (Example: gta sa- For me is external sd card-android-obb-com.rockstargames.gtasa) for your ext sd card. Then on your internal sd card, create a blank folder named com.rockstargames.gtasa on android-obb. Then go to foldermount & follow the steps that you usually did to create a pair. But the game won't move cause you already did it manually, get it!?!. Then you just need to pin it as you do normally & play the game. I hope you understand this trick. It's working for me, enjoy & happy holidays

Hi uguro. If you want to transfer "GAMES" data I recommend you to download GL2SD (gameloft-to-sd). It's compatible with almost all games (even if they are not from gameloft company) and it will move your data to SD without any problem and saving a lot of space on your phone. On the other hand, if you wanna move apk to sd, you can try Link2SD. You need to make a 1GB "primary" partition on your SD card in ext2 format (I'm using "Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition" on windows to do that) and let Link2SD to mount it after rebooting your device.
Hope it will be useful.
Hey uguro you can move all your apps to sd card if your phone is rooted.
Download titanium backup and titanium backup pro(key license) both of them requires root permision.
N u can dwnld key license from blackmart alpha.
I thought Link2SD didn't work on this phone.

Internal memory almost full.

So the sp does not support moving apps to the sd card. As a result of this, having the phone for a week I keep getting warnings to say the memory is over 75% full. Is there a way around this yet? I really like the standard Rom and hope I don't have to wait for custom roms.

for this u should have root access (on a custom rom)
it will allow u to mount external memory to internal

Move everything else to sd that you can, photos music downloads etc.

To root XSP go HERE
Well it all Google fault to limit the movement to sdcard. But there's always few apps that natively supported moving data to sdcard.
For now, without root I have to use clean master to delete junk file on my XSP every few day

I would like to have the micro SD as a default location like on my old phone.
Now all app data I backup (like WhatsApp or trafficmanager) goes to sd0 internal. So everyone I want to whipe the phone I have to move it by hand. Verry time consuming.
Apps I just want installed on internal.
I have root. What's the best way to achieve this?

Download Link2SD, moves all your apps and app data to your sd card and any future data will aswell, however you'll have to manually link every app.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
You need root to use these apps.
When using link 2sd you have to create a secondary partition on PC make it primary and use fat32 this is supported by stock.
You can link all apps to extsd
I use foldermount pro to move game data to extsd. As a result of using both these apps I have over 4gig free on internal.

CM 11.0 for Atrix hd (do we still have Root? )

Guys I'm currently running CM 10.2 and I'm dying to try CM 11. However, I've got a few questions.. Am I able to have the phone rooted if I install the latest update? Will I be able to restore the applications stored on my SD card (apk files). Will my phone play the music stored on my SD card? Please let me know. I have read the whole thread but I'm not sure yet. Thanks in advance

Do you mean install apk files from sd card? There shouldn't be problem with that after enabling unknown sources. (at least with most apps)

Sure
CM11 currently have problems with video playback (for example, youtube).
Video playback is fixed on [4.4]AOSP KitKat.
Great! So that means I just need to flash the SU file along with the gapps and roms in the installation?
