I know is a frequent question about moving apps to SD but I really can not find a good way that works yet . Thank you

That's exactly why I recommend GL to SD. It's the only program that doesn't require you to partition your external sd card in any way.
You can also try FolderMount, but if you wanna have more than 2 binds, you have to buy it. Whereas GL to SD is free and fully functional. Paid version just removes the adds, which for me is almost nothing

Yes. Now I see that you've got other stuff there as well other than games. Tap the button in the right top corner and select "move data" option. Now you should see all of the programs, which are movable to the external sd card. Just select the ones you want to move and hit "Move".
If there are apps on the list from the picture you posted, which you don't want to be there just tap and hold the app's name and select "Remove" option. Your app is still on your phone, but it won't show up in GL to SD and confuse you if it's on the internal or the external memory.
REMEMBER to always launch moved apps from GL to SD app or they'll just want to download their data again if they are launched the normal way!

Does that mean then the all is on the SD card or not then I don't won't to open that app up every time just to go on my other apps if you know what I mean

If you want to open the apps on the sd card you need to open them via gl to sd. When you want to open an app on your phone memory you open it from the app drawer.

Can my on board sd card store my apps?

What app can I use to put all my apps on my sd card? Everything I download from the market goes on my phone and I have all this space on my on board sd card. It seems like there should be a way to default my applications to download straight to the sd card. Please donate all the nuggets of wisdom you guys can.

Call me stupid but I can't find it. Do I have to download it to my computer from the web first and then to my phone? The app isn't in the Market Place.

Internal memory

I keep getting a notification that my internal memory is getting full. Does ICS not allow the transfer of apps to sd card?

Actually they did not remove it from ICS..its up to the Motorola..I upgraded a Sony Arc S to ICS with original unaltered Sony firmware and I can still move apps to and from the SD card.

Play store insufficient storage

Hey I've searched all over Google etc, but last night I tries to download a 2mb app but it said insufficient storage, but yet it let's me download a 80mb game.
I just don't understand what it is I can install several but there are a select few that says there is not enough memory.

which app?
Try clearing cache n data of play store in app settings
i had this problem too just about 2 weeks ago, i just restored and backed up from it and it was back to normal
Or try adding another google account and try to use play store from it...
I've tried clearing cahches and I've tried backing up and restoeing, and its a few apps.

Does anyone have a fix for this I've tried all sorts, I've uninstalled many apps but it still says the same thing for most apps I'm trying to install.

I managed to solve the problem. If anyone else has tbis problem Dow load Android Terminal Emulator
Type 'su' and grant then
Type pm set-install-location 0,
Which changes the default location

0 = auto
1 = internal
2 = SDcard (which probably won't work on JB)
Yeah i tried setting it to 2 for external but it says insufficient storage even though I have 23gb free

JB doesnt have native Data to external SD. You can try remove your G-account, reboot and log in.
It works on both 0 and 1 but wanted it on 2 looks like its not going to be like that just glad that I can install apps again

I just told you can't move apps to your ext SDcard, because JB doesn't support it
I know what u meant lol my previous post was basically saying it was a shame I couldn't.

Files getting deleted

Is there a way that odining between jb and kk can cause files to randomly delete? Cause I had a few psx rom files and gba/gbc rom files just go poof for no reason and I didn't wipe the internal memory.

Weird. Thanks for the reply

I've been on kk for a while and I have not had this issue, though I think it only happened once, but it was most if my second hand media files, such as movies, music, roms. The folders were left intact with everything present except for the actual file I had downloaded. Maybe we are being spied on and someone is zapping our pirated files, lol. Everything of mine that vanished was obtained through questionable motives...lol

Happened to me twice but after flashing though, seems like ss "ate" the rom i flashed, along with the files in my internal sd.

Phone shows I have apps installed on my SD card but I don't have an SD card inserted,

It's not causing any problems, just curious why it is reporting that. Included an image as well.
Thanks

No you dont have apps installed on your sdcard (that is the internal emulated sdcard) that is showing you the apps that "CAN" be moved to sdcard. to move them place a check mark in the box next to the app.
Ah that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification
