I've been able to successfully so far move 'Barcode Scanner' & 'Titanium Backup' to "run" from my sd card. Certain apps fail when trying to move them to the sd card; it almost looks as if currently there is a size limitation - can only move apps under 1mb.
My question is, where exactly are these apps being stored on the sd card? I've searched '/mnt/sdcard' and haven't came up with anything.
I noticed this too.. I had about 3 apps that were all over 1mb that failed when trying to move them to the SD card... is this just a feature that isn't fully supported yet maybe?

So, anyone got to work a Widgets installed on SD card?
I have 16GB SD Card (FAT32 15GB, EXT3 1GB), anytime i install a widget to my SD Card its just not showing up whenever im trying to add it on desktop (neither by tapping main screen or home/menu/add).
Even rebooting phone wont fix it.
Homever when i move the widget to phone internal memory it shows up without problem.
Is there any way installing widgets on SD Card and get it to work from there without any troubles?
This is kinda annoying TBH.
Or alternatively, is there any ROM that would "fix" this issue?
Well seeing as you have an EXT3 partition, anything you Get from the market will automatically install on that partition so there is no need to 'move to SD'
I think u didnt understand, i didnt mean its annoying to move apps from internal memory to SD card, i meant apps that installs on SD card like widgets doesnt work (you cant add them to desktop) unless you move them to internal phone memory (which is kinda small).
Widgets would NOT work, moved to SD card, it's android patform limitation.
Hey guys, I installed the I747MVLLH1 Android 4.1.1 early leak and since then it created a simulated SD Card on my internal storage without my knowledge. I have since installed numerous games and apps that require an external SD card to run, but I want to move them onto the actual internal storage at this point.
I cannot get access for apps on the external storage without deleting the simulated SD card folder and I don't want to have to reinstall all the apps over again. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to get around this?
Any way to truly move apps to the external SD card?
I have just recnetly learned that moving apps "to the SD card" in the settings>apps menu doesnt truly move them to the external SD card.
Why is that?
I dont have many apps yet, but it seems the apps i do have slowly get larger and larger as i use them and they save user data. (game progress for example).
Id like to know that I could at least move things that i dont care how fast they load to a truly external SD card (along with my wallpapers, ringtones, etc)
Even if theres a manual way via USB, thats cool. Just hoping someone with more than about a months worth of experience with a captivate glide (or really, i guess any phone that by default wont let you) could give some advice.
thanks!

You have sd card integrated to the board, its not true sd card. You can swap internal sd to external sd, then you can use same move function to use external micro sd card as application storage.

So theres no way to just manually tell it to move there without messing up whats already on the internal storage?
The Android system still has no option to move app to external sd. You can copy everything from internal (built-in) sd to external and apply change-fstab.zip to make Android think that your external sd is internal and vice versa. Works on every 4.4 rom. No performance drawbacks if using class 10 sd card. Worked for me flawlessly and thanks to bubor for this great feature.
And for manually... There's an app called Link2SD. It's some sort of workaround. You make second partition on your external SD and move apps there, leaving links for Android system on your internal storage. You can find it in google market, be sure to read instructions first.

I remember trying link2sd on a friends tablet recently. it recognized certain apps as moveable, but when i actually tried to move them (on an SD that i had already partitioned) it said failure every time.
But im not sure i want to switch my storage entirely. I would just like to allow, say another 4 gigs on my SD card (with the other 4 being for wallpapers, ringtones, etc). i have an 8 gig card right now.
Then you should try link2sd here. Basically, no other options, unless you wish to emulate Link2SD work with some scripts and move apps manually. I saw some patches for Lenovo phones to combine internal storage or something like that, but they will not work on Glide obviously.
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

Hi guys,
I have searched but cant find anything that matches my questions. I updated to 6.0 the other day and I formatted my SD Card as internal storage. It went ok and stated that 400mb could be moved which I did.
My issues are that I was led to believe once this was all set up any app could be moved to the SD card but thats not the case apps like Facebook cant be moved...is this the same for everyone?
And more importantly when I download a new app it installs to internal as default but then I can choose to move it manually to the Sandisk SD. Surely they should install the SD as default or split at least? at this rate the internal storage will continue to get full and nothing on the SD that's meant to be treated in the same way.
Any advice would be great!
Thank you
Anyone? someone else must be using the SD as internal memory?
me other issue
