[Q] How to copy installed Apps to External SD in ICS (Or Gingerbread if have to)

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.

Get this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zbGYuTGlzdGdsQXBwIl0.
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?

help please

Do you mean external SD card? If so is it aokp rom?
Then you gotta flash a file called services.jar search it in aokp thread.
If youre running something else or if you mean USB storage (internal SD card) then I don't know the solution.

[support discontinued/rom still active]How to get CM10.1 Working on LG 2x su660 100%

Experience CM10 like never before!!
Assuming u have the LG and Apx drivers installed then proceed with the installation.If not back off!!
I had only the stock froyo rom and i had found installing other roms kind of a pain i wanted the ultimate quick experience to crown this device with a great retirement(adding jellybean to it). Lets get started.
Downloads:
-Cwm special installation file. (u need external sd card for cwm to work)
-My Patched CM10.1 aka 4.2.2-
-gapps
What u need to to:
-put ur device in apx mode.(remove battery, then hold vol +&- for 4 secs then connect usb and dont let go until u notice device is linked to pc)
-go to cwm and run flash.bat.Wait till everything is done and it tells u "press any key to continue..."
-On reboot u should be stuck on CWM no matter what u do.
-Now move to mount and storage and mount usb storage.
-Transfer my patched file and gapps to ur device.
-Then install zip from sd card and then install my file and reboot.
-Boot should take abit long but it eventually boots and works flawlessly.
Issues:
- u need an sd card for cwm & rom to work very well or else ur phone wont be able to read ur memory and so wont store anything.
-After installation the internal SD card wont work so go into recovery and flash this file.(u need an external sd card as this will swap your external and internal storage)fixed with this
-The method above is usually reverted and as of now i've found now way to keep it stable to use external memory!!
-During call hang-up doesn't work.Go to accessibility in settings and choose "power button ends call" & "home button answers call" for the workaround to this.

What i did because i had this error was to get an external sd card and put in while the phone was on and the tried to take a picture which it did.After i went to settings and mounted my internal sd card and it mounted.Sorry if this steps dont work again i have a diff answer on one of my other threads.I'll posted before the end of the next 24hrs.Peace mate
-[update]:"u need to edith vold.stab in system/etc and do viceversa sdcard1 and sdcard0 then reboot."Meaning change any sdcard0 to sdcard1 and any sdcard1 to sdcard0 in this file.(They are a bunch of code u can read using cmfile manager.)

=(

yep

is this is the right step???/
1.) put my android su660 on
2.) go to camera pretending you have to take a picture (i see the word telling no internal sdcard)
3.) after that put my external sdcard on while on camera mode then
4.) then go to setting/storage click mount
i did that procedure but i still getting an error no luck on mounting my internal sd card..

I changed sdcard0 to sdcard1 and any sdcard1 to sdcard0 in this file, but Now the external memory is detected as internal, and the internal is not detected.
How can I do?

Then just undo what u did by reversing what u changed.If internal storage doesnt work then cm10 doesnt work with ur internal storage so get an external one.(way cheaper than getting a new device):angel:Normally my tips in previous post should help.

hi, the changing of sdcard0 to sdcard1 worked for me but same as others my internal storage is not being detected funny i also tried to reverse but no good, good thing i have extra sd card lolx too bad we won't be able to use the 16gb internal storage... if there is any news for this please share thanks!
edit for follow-up: i tried to reinstall the rom you created but this time this is what i did,
1. put phone to apx then flash.bat
2. put phone to CWM mode
3. mount sd card
4. my computer detected the external sd card and the internal but it says format so i did format the internal
5. installed the rom and then gapps then when i try to mount emmc on CWM this time its working hehe
6. reboot phone then i checked the storage BOOM! there it is! internal and external detected! then only problem i have now is the camera app is missing lolx any help???

those are some known bugs and im not sure their fixes are out yet.But audio on calls works for me though!!

If you are rooted, just use Clocksync. It will automatically sync the time and date for you, so no more going back to 2007

hi there!
I managed to flashed CM10 with CWM 5.0.2.8e recovery. Problem is rom can't mount internal & external sdcards. while I can manually mount the internal sdcard in cwm to copy files, external is no way to be found in cwm. I already posted a reply on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987772 but seems wkpark is such a busy person. Also flashed those 2 patch zip files (su660-emmc-fixer-default & switched) but to no avail.
Hope you can give me light on this. I love having JB on this phone (SU660). Just aching on this in/ex sdcards mounting problem.

[Q] Galaxy mini II SD-Card Problem.

Hello everyone and thanks for being here to help people like me.
First of all,sorry for my bad written english,(i`m from Romania) and sorry if opening this thread was a bad ideea. I apologize in advance.
Ok. My problem is with my Samsung Galaxy mini II. Today i wanted to put a game on it and i`ve copied data files on my sd card. It didn't work. Then i tried to download game data via Wi-fi from the game menu. A message comes up that tells me i don`t have enough space on my phone`s internal memory. I don`t know why it didn't downloaded directly to may 8gb sd card. Ok. I`ve searched the internet and find SwapSD. I heard that you can make your sd card being recognize as internal memory. I installed it,run it,exactly how i was given instructions. And then i wanted to erase all my data from both internal and external memory so i can install everything on the bigger memory space.After i formated via recovery my sd card dosen't show up in storage,under settings section. Now i`m trying to install the stock rom but when i press install from sd card it says E: Can't open /sdcard/update/zip (bad)....
Can anyone please help me with this situation ? I just want to have my normal 2.3.4 rom and a working sd card.
Thanks in advance.
Problem Solved !!! Please delete the thread. Thanks.

You need to re-partition it, not to format it. Guide is here.

Hi, thanks for replying, I have another query. Do I have to do a complete partition of the SD? Or just remove any kind of partition you have?

You need to repartiiton whole external SD card. Do not do that with internal memory, just external sd.
And stock recovery needs external SD card, if you do not have one it will not recognize anything.
