I've noticed some bugginess from the SD card after root and flashing the latest ROM with the memory card fixes... Should I have only the ROM zip on the card then add my files after flashing, or is this not needed ever? Has anyone noticed widgets or other programs struggling to load pics or locating music from existing folders?
Thanks!!

hello world.
I'm running the latest T-Mobile 1.13 Big Storage ROM on my Magician, on which I installed only some applications from the original ext rom, such as MMS Composer, Camera Tool etc.
Since I would like to keep my internal memory as empty as possible, I wonder if I can install those .cab files from the ext rom on my SD card instead of the rom.

I'm running cyanogen 6.1 and go to applications and then click on one and click move to SD card but only like 1/4 or less sometimes of applications get moved to the SD card. Is that all that you can move or is there a way to move more?
I just used ROMmanager to partition my sd card thinking that would fix the problem but it didnt
froyo's built in move apps to sd card doesn't move every part of the app. Some stuff still resides and gets stored in your internal memory. This is why people still use apps2ext in froyo on the slide. There is a pretty good tutorial on how to set this up manually if you don't have a cm6.1 that someone built it in to (or you can download one of the cm6.1 based roms with it built in). It will help alot. Just moving the dalvik-cache to the ext partition will free up a bunch of internal memory.
Hi I looked to see if anyone else posted about this and I couldn't find one like this. I have an evo that I have rooted. I still have the 8gb sd card. After I rooted my phone I still had about 6gb left on my sd card. After I flashed Mikfroyo 4.5, reinstalled all my apps and and put most of my games on my sd card, like I had before I flashed mikfroyo I had about 4gb left on my sdcard. Yesterday I flashed a new rom on my phone, installed most of the apps that I had, and put the same amount of apps on my sd card it went down to under 2gb. I don't see triple the amount of folders on my sd card. Does anyone know why it shows up like this or at least how to free up some room? Thanks.

Have you been deleting the ROMs from your SD card after you flash them? Each Sense rom is roughly 180-200mb. It adds up. Also, if you have been creating Nandroid backups, they too will take up a lot Space, and you need to shuffle through them and delete the old ones. Nandroid backups add up quick. I don't store my apps on the SD card, so don't know much about it, but what method are you using to do so, and are you sure they're not doubling up? I'd be more suspicious of an excess amount of nandroid backups and roms on the sd card though. It doesn't take much to fill up that stock 8gb card.
i agree you should check how many nadroid backups you have on your card, they take a lot of room, i usually move them from my phone to my pc and only leave the last one on my phone, plus they are safer on the computer. also all the zip files you use to flash roms can be moved from the sd card to the computer, once used you dont need them on the root of your sd card anymore they just waste space, i would also recommend upgrading to a 16gb sd card ebay has them for like 20 to 30 bucks and save you the trouble of worrying about memory. to move files from one sd card to another you just connect phone to pc as disk drive open my pc and right click on the drive that represents your phone, go to folder options and in views, select view hidden files. once that is done just copy all inside the sd card to a folder on your pc. then you unplug from the computer, turn off phone replace old sd with new, turn on your phone go to settings storage and unmount the sd card then format it. the plug it to your pc again in disk drive open the folder where you put all the info from the old sd and copy all that to the drive your phone represents and hit yes when it says if you like to copy and replace some files, then you are done new sd and twice the memory cv

Hey everyone,
I have a stock non-rooted Sprint version Galaxy S3 with Jellybean. I installed a 32 GB SD Card and it worked fine for the longest time. Today I realized that when I take pictures it will not save to the SD Card. The card is recognized by the phone, it reports the correct size, and I can see the contents but I cannot write to the card any longer.
I unmounted the card, uninstalled and reinstalled the card, and restarted the phone, but no matter what I do I can't save anything to it. I downloaded an SD card testing app and it said I didn't have permission to write to the card. Has anyone heard of this issue before? I am going to try to use the Kies Air app to move all of the contents of the card to my PC and reformat it to see if that helps. Thanks to anyone who might know what's going on.

Have you tried already manually adding stuff to the card via transfering files from Internal to ExtSDCard?
Have you set up your camera settings to save picture / recordings to external SD card or
try testing to create new file / folders within the card?
ok i am confused i have noticed lots of post of people saying they cant move apps to sd card or write to sd card.. i just bought the sm-t700 titanium 8.4 version, and it came with 4.2 android i then upgraded to LP 5.0.2 and i am still able to move apps to sd card, i am running stock rom and am rooted, so i am confused on why most posts or customs roms say they have added the sd card fix?? was it certain models that have moving apps to sd card and others not??? also the build date of mine says may 5 2015....
just asking as i am afraid to put custom rom on it for fear of losing the move apps to sd card....
From my perspective, moving apps to the SD card is not the issue. You can do that with most apps (though some move precious little of their total size to the external storage). The issue is that this is about all you can do with the SD card. You can't use it as a default storage location (for web browser downloads, for example). Basically all you can do is "move" apps to it and copy files manually to and from. I haven't even been able to create a folder on the SD card using my file browser.
It`s third-party app on an non-rooted tablet that cannot write/delete files to the microsd, I think you can on v4.2 and v5.0.2 but not on v4.4.2
