Titanium backup has the capability to move apps to the SD card that normally won't go. I wanted to check everyone's success or failure on moving these stubborn or poorly written apps. Apps appear to move to sd card but do not work properly and others go just fine. Can we start a list? I will try to maintain it here. Thanks.

Thanks to lilajrestnom and TexasEpic4G for their contributions.
This is a great idea. This is most helpful. It would also be good to know what applications can be restored without causing a bunch of FCs. This is the reason I don't like saving applications to my SD card.

I have not had much luck with moving apps in Titanium. I usually use app2sd.

Apps2sd only moves the apps that r able to b moved on the sd card but titanium moves any app u choose..
I haven't ever tried it tho too scared to lol
I move most of my games to sd card using titanium the main ones I don't put are widgets, launcher, lock screen apps, handcent and text message apps, mainly system type apps I don't move but all others go over and work fine

Kenny, you're not getting any examples. I'll try some of mine and let you know. One question; where in Titanium is the option to move apks to the SD card? I have the paid version and don't see it.

You can either go to batch and there will b a "move/integrate" section that allows u to choose what files to move on sd card
Or jut go to the normal "backup/restore" hold an app until the big menu pops up and near the bottom it says "move to sd"
Just a qestion... what does it really help with to move the apps to sd card? Just memory?

The phone has very limited storage...just 512MB and OS takes up almost 300MB of that. For people that are appaholics they need to store them on the SD card.

Ya I knew it was basically for memory and that helps the phone process better.. correct..?
Ill try and move some apps now and see what I can and still works
So I found out that some apps will not allow you to move them to the sd card or convert them to user app
But the xda app moved to sd card well and its working normally
I don't really use millions of apps so I don't have many to choose to move lol most of my apps r already made to be allowed to be saved on sd card but if I try more ill let you know
And I'm guessing apps like set cpu and screen filter will not work if there on the sd card..?

Just tried HBO GO, it moved successfully and works.
And Groupon, Iheart Radio and Qik work as well.
OP edited with more apps able to be moved.

CLZ Comics worked !
So I just moved all my apps to the sd card (30 apps) and all of them seem to still b working perfectly except any widgets
From the 30 there is setcpu, voodoo sound, screen filter, youtube, dolphin browser hd (and the blue addon theme), poweramp, xda, titanium, root explorer, handcent sms (and the darkness theme), androzip, andy86, dual file manager, cpu spy, and tubemate.
I hope this helps.

Thank you. Added you list to the OP.
Hi,
My arc's internal memory left is 11mb which is 3%.
I have rooted & deleted many big apps. I don't have many text messages but 4 email accounts.
Only downloaded phone apps are SwiftKey, zdbox, titanium backup pro & beautiful widgets.
Due to this I often get lag, home screens removing every widgets and apps rearranging themselves after reboot. If I don't reboot its often unusable. I can no longer download apps on the market or update sone apps.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Just interested as I haven't heard of anyone else with the same problem before.
I originally intended to keep this phone for long but will now just wait for a successor with more memory.
Really frustrating as I had a xperia x1 before with many text messages and emails without issues.

Try Link2SD or App2SD for the internal memory issue.
And for speed up your device, I recommend the V6 Supercharger.

you only isntalled 4 apps and only 11mb remaining ?
i installed lots 8 apps, and lots of games. most games can be moved to sd, but some cannot and uses phone internal memory, and i still have around 100mb free space..

I have 126 user apps installed... with link2sd Still 132MB internal memory free. And yes, try Supercharger.
I have 4 apps on the phone because they wouldn't work very well if I transfered them to sd card.
But other apps that can't be transferred I have already done so when I rooted my phone. I even deleted bloatware.
Seriously I am completely stumped why I'm so low in memory & it keeps getting lower, 1 month ago it was 10%.
Maybe it's my email? I have 2 Gmail & 2 hotmail accounts. The 2 Gmail doesn't get used though as I put manual download for emails.
Thanks for the replies!

I think you should do a factory reset and install each app step by step, so you can see which app is using that much memory.
I'll do that thanks... Do you know if there's anyway to save the playlists on music player though as I don't really wanna reorganise all my music...

try clearing cache first.. that can get huge sometimes.

Try to backup your playlists on your sdcard.
simple reflash first.
Thanks I just factory reset & now I have 50% memory. Which still don't make sense now as I have installed more apps on phone & kept all original text messages.
I reckon I might have had some kind of malware or virus beforehand.

bloatware (apps which instaled on phone before you buy it)
Nah wasn't bloatware as I permanently deleted them when phone was rooted. Though I did install some non market apps before, which I reckon installed hidden malware or app that was taking the memory.

Is it possible to get more internal memory on my xperia arc LT15i .62... I have tried to partition my sd card to no avail...need to root phone but I think I would brick my phone!! Anyway round this? I noticed on a forum that someone could do this? over the net?
Thanks. Moff1
I am rooted and using The EVO Classic Sense Redefined by tommytomatoe. I have moved a lot of my apps to the SD card but have kept those that have widgets that I use or apps like Superuser, BusyBox or others that I fell are essential phone apps in the internal memory (voice-mail).
Are there certain apps that should always be kept in internal memory or am I being over cautious?
BTW, I use Move2SD Enabler to allow more apps the option of being transferred.
Thanks for your comments
Doc
The classic has a2sd built in and if you're partitioned will automatically move the appropriate apps for you
We are legion, for we are many
any app that you use a widget for shouldn't be on the SD card or else the Widgets won't work..

I heard you aren't supposed to move any rooted apps (titanium backup, cachemate, etc) onto the SD card nor any Widgets. Ruins functionality for the app

Some handle it just fine.
I have run Mybackup Pro (with root) from the SDcard.
Just depends on the dev. I have seen several apps that claimed they could be moved, but ran horrible if I did. If I remember right Astro file manager didn't like it, then again, it stayed in memory, so that could have been part of it. I dumped it after seeing that anyhow.
Anything like launchers, alarms, stuff that runs at boot (or on a schedule), and of course widgets I would keep on internal. But I keep everything on internal, with plenty of room to spare. I don't run a ton of apps though, I just keep them backed up and restore if needed. If I don't use them for a week then I uninstall. I can always restore them if I need to.

i have tibackup, rootexplorer and root uninstaller on my sdcard with no ill effect... maybe its a per phone basis.
I never move any widgets to SD. Also ran into perf issues when I moved nav. Pretty much everything else is fine when moved.
I'm looking for a recommended alternative to Droidsail as a mass move apps to sd card program. It works, but in cm10 it freezes a lot. I used titanium backups today, but doesn't really give you the same info on the app your moving or how it affects desktop Widgets.

I have Samsung Galaxy Note 1 and a serious problem along with it. My app automatically ported from my phone memory to sd card. While porting sometimes it becomes semi transparent and i dont understmd why does that happen. Its a rooted phone.

You need root and the app have asked for root access but the actual selection has been done by hand.
Can you list your root apps?

Apps that need root to work.
Such apps are titanium backup

The app icons look like that for apps that are on the SD Card and the SD card is removed or unmounted. Apps that store themselves in /.asec (I think, whichever hidden folder is the one that is used for secure apps) also show that icon when the SD card is removed.

How you expect support For Note1 on Note2 forum?
Anyway, some application are by default moves to Sd card in Note1. some ICS have added newer launcher that have this bug(if i remember correctly LR6/Q or near to it). application which are on Sd card, becomes semitransparent(still usable) and if you keep short cut of this application to a folder on desktop, it gets erase short cut after rebooting.
Just move back your application to Phone memory and it should work.
you may find it in setting - application manager - app on Sd card (or something, i left using ICS and Note1, 4 month back)
and you will find option to move to phone

As i said move application to phone and it will be fine. Or if you want to keep that on SD card only then update to latest ROM, which is bug free.
Thankx man will try the same.
