with the stock rom, I can not move the app+data to sdcard. Can anyone recommend a custom rom that have this feature and nfc+fm radio working?
Try foldermount app. Or go the development section & one of many custom Roms. Probably the most has that option. Regarding the nfc, only work on stock Roms. For the radio use spiritfm app.
You should have a FM Radio app pre-installed on your phone. For moving large game data to external sd card you can also try out GL to SD app - it's free.

Is there any g1 rom working without memory card? I only need to use the skype on this phone and don't want to buy another card just for that. I can install it from the card, but normally I use my card with another phone.
???
I don't understand your problem. Why do you think you need to have a SD-card for running the G1? Stock-ROMs do run without sd-card, custom ROMs, too, except they are programmed in a way that they force you to use a swap partition, but that's a different thing ...

As far as I know, the skypy needs android 2.2+, so can't use stock rom. I'v already tried few of custom roms, but none of them worked without memory card. So is it just because of a swap partition?
You can try ezGingerbread or ADS_Magpie (links are in my signature), these ROMs do not need to have a SD-card inserted, even if space for apps/data will be very limited (ca. 70 - 100 MB), depending whether you will use customMTD or not.

Hello,
I've been patiently following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804665 for the past several months. Thanks to the selfless, hard work of Hashcode, dhacker, and also sylentprofet and jarveson (and apologies to anyone I haven't credited), the recent builds seem to have arrived at a level of functionality and stability that I'm thinking of trying to install my first custom ROM (I've already had SafeStrap 3.0.x installed for months).
My question is the following: I understand from the above thread and from Hashcode's blog that now the external SD card will be used as the default storage location. I was wondering what happens when an app is "installed to SD". From my previous experience on an original Motorola Droid, I know that "installing to SD" would move some files to a special directory on the SD card. I was wondering if this would cause collisions if the same app was installed under multiple ROM slots using SafeStrap.
Thank you for entertaining this newbie's question.
Actually the way I understand it is there is still the internal storage and external SD which are the same, but the internal storage gets partitioned separate from the rest of the storage so if you install an app to the SD card, I think it just goes in a regular folder. The system thinks the /system partition is in the regular storage for it but it actually is tricked to the internal storage.
I hope that makes sense.

Thank you very much for your response.
Is this regular folder on the external SD card? If so, does it mean that this regular folder will be shared by the ROMs in multiple slots if I have the same app installed under the ROM in multiple slots?
Thank you again.

If it's on the external SD then yes it is.
I had the same doubt when I recently started using ROMs on my Droid3. This thread helped me a lot.
I have lots of apps in my stock ROM that I've installed before rooting it. Do I have to install it all again on external SD? If yes, do I have to use a new flashed ROM or the stock ROM?

On minimoto I noticed it was using the exact same sd configuration as stock, perhaps because its stock based. On CM10 the external SD card is the default /sd card but you can still access the internal sd.
Regardless of how the sd card is configured you'd still have to reinstall apps when going to another ROM. I recommend using Titanium Backup then its quite simple to restore apps on another ROM. For SD data you could just manually copy and paste the folders from the internal to external SD.

Thanks! So, a separate partition on SD Card would be a waste of "space", since the ROM's doesn't share acess to this partition. I've only tried with CM10, I'm going to try with MavROM and Minimoto, but i'm almost sure that I'll end backing all up with Titanium.

Sort of kind of. Basically this would be useful if you want to share apps and their settings between the custom and Stock ROMs installed on your phone [may be odd on an app by app basis depending on a few things but a good number *should* work [I dont use external SD as it eats the battery and is MUCH slower than using the /data partition so haven't tested this], so following should be close if not 100% correct
You would in stock ROM set your apps2SD app up [I DO NOT advise you to use the sdcard function found in manage apps>app area instead you should be using an app like Link2SD that actually creates a partition on your external SD and formats it to EXT3 or EXT4 [suggest using EXT4]. This way things like widgets still work whereas they don't when using the built-in android function [this happens as android uses a folder on the SDCard [which is FAT32 by default] and file permissions needed to run Widgets and some code can't be copied as needed on to a FAT32 partition so by using an app that partitions [or the recovery can do this but you would still need an app to manage which apps are in this partion] the SDCard app instead actually formats part of the card to the EXT 3 or 4 File system so it is the same as the /data partion so Android can copy EVERYTHING and nothing is affected and broken.
So you open your SDCard app manager in Stock ROM and format the External SD [THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING RUN APPROPRIATE BACKUPS BEFORE PARTIONING [move them to a computer and back if you dont have enough internal storage to absorb your data]]
When that completes open the app again [usually needs a restart first to mount the new partition before continuing].
Once you get that done open the Manager app and select the apps to move to this new partition.
CUSTOM ROM: Now once that is done boot in to safestrap and either setup a Custom ROM or change to it's boot slot. Next boot in to Custom ROM and install the same SD Card App Manager you used in Stock.
Next, once you open it it should say it found a partition and ask if you want to use it if it doesn't and just lists the app view the settings in the Manager app and HAVE IT SETUP AN EXISTING PARTITION. DONT PARTITION YOUR SDCard AGAIN [or all your newly moved data will bite it].
Now restart and allow it to boot back in to the Custom ROM again. Once this happens all the apps you moved to the SDCard partition should magically appear and be usable.
SO LONG AS YOUR STOCK AND CUSTOM ROMs ARE THE SAME VERSIONS DONT DO THIS IF YOU HAVE ICS ON THE SAFE SIDE AND JELLYBEAN AS A CUSTOM ROM IT WILL MOST LIKELY CAUSE ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS
Is it possible to have a memory swap in our device? I do have a GT-i9305T flashed the latest sentinelROM 5.0 and tried all those memory swap (internal storage to external storage) that I've google but without a luck none of them is working and all I've searched were for s3 devices but still no luck. Anyone here already done this thing since I wanted to install many HD games as 16gb is not enough? Hope someone knew the answer as I badly need this one, been searching for a couple of hours now :-/. TIA
I use an app called "FolderMount" to move the files from an app to the external sd card. You only need root, I didn't use any memory swap mode. Try this app, it works fine on my s3 i9300 4.3 omega rom

great thank you for pointing it out, will note this one as I've already switch back to a stock rom just to try out @mattiadj memory swapping solution and it works great. Anyways thank you for taking your time answering my query as I've appreciated it a lot but still I'm open with any further solution with this problem if anyone knows. Thanks again
Hell all ,
I am new to this wonderful forum and a newbie to Android.
I am using my Xperia ZR with stock rom 4.4.2 , very good device except battery issue.
My question is well known .......is there any Custom ROM available for XZR which support APP to SD feature?
with only 4.5GB of usable internal memory it very difficult to keep this device lag free while installing many apps and games.
At least if there is an option to swap internal memory with external sd card , it would be very helpful
I have rooted my phone , and checked almost every app which claims app to sd , but none of these works.
Any help ?
Thanks.
I don't see any of the custom roms with that option for now. I tried almost everything.
I'm looking to help my mum's moto g 2014, she can't install any app updates and is having constant problems because their Moto G 2014 is out of available space, and none of the apps which are using the most amount of space will move to an SD card.
To help fix this I was looking at installing a Marshmallow based ROM that could use an SD card as internal storage, however having read on here for a little bit it seems like they're all a bit too experimental to expose to a non-geek. Does anyone have any specific suggestions before I just start trying different stuff? If it helps at all it was bought unlocked in the UK, I don't have anymore details right now as I live in the US and won't be over till next week.
1.If it is rooted, use link2sd to move all the internal apps (even the ones occupying large space) to ur sd card, the app will move everything including app data and obb to the sd card
... 2.The aosp build of marshmallow is said to be working in single sim moto g2 devices (I have a dual sim and so ril doesn't work) , take a nandroid backup and flash aosp m and check it, or if you want to be on the safer side use link2sd app
3. Use system App remover to remove unwanted system Apps which are not used eg Google Books, google music player (use another player that use lesser space) etc .. /requires Root /
