Hello,
I have a galaxy SL, and my brother is going to get a galaxy W.
In SL there is a non removable internal sd card(small), and I can add external sd card.
The main problem with this configuration is that with normal phone without rooting, I can only move the applications to internal sd card(small) using different apps or from settings screen, but I can not move the applications to the external sd card.
Does galaxy w has the same problematic configuration?
Best Regards,
Abdalla
Hi there..
In my experience, the opposite is the case.
Apps can be moved, using Android native manual Apps2SD or the Auto GUI App2SD, free from Market.
Apps can only be moved to External SD card......Internal USB/Storage is for Data, Music, Pics, etc.
Phone Memory for Apps is quite big, 1G, so it will take a while to fill this with Apps.
However, some ROMs have utilized a memory mount point swap, which can be useful if you want to use Internal USB/SD for apps!!!

That's a good app OK....you can use FAT32 partition AFAIK
but I remember it was used before Froyo gave the ability to move Apps to SD....which is improved now with GB.....and when ICS comes there will be moving to any Storage..
It has the ability to force move Apps which are not designed to be moved....sometimes for good reasons!!
When I had a ZTE Blade I also used Dark Tremors A2SD.....which moved Apps and Dalvik, etc to sd-ext 1G. partition.....
but I don't think it works on this phone.

yepp..use fat32.
last time I use it, it works but everytime I restart my wonder some apps can't open(apps that.i link), but it will be opened only if you reboot from link2sd..
yes it will force move apps but we can uncheck the re-link or unlink so the apps still in the internal,..for me, I used to install apps that not designed to be move first, and then install link2sd..

Thank you for your replies
From my understanding from irishpancake reply, there is no need of swapping storages or external apps to move the application (that support move2sd feature) to the external sd card, which is great.
I had to swap mount points for my galaxy SL to do the same thing, but my brother is not into rooting/hacking stuff.
Thanks very much, and please correct me if I am wrong.

Hey there "confused" nalee!!
First question: you wanna partition ur External SD for why??
Have you run out of space on phone Internal Memory for Apps??
Second question: Have you tried moving Apps to External SD using the native Apps2SD which we have??
It is easy peezy.....and you don't need to create partition on ur External SD. If you wanna make it easier again, why not try App2SD, free from Market, which will notify you when Apps can be moved.
Or Gemini App Manager, which has the same function, plus a whole lot more!!!!
But, if you just wanna try out partitioning your SD, take a look at Link2SD web page.....
http://www.link2sd.info/description
You will need to D/L Minitool Partition Manager, if you got Windoze, or GParted tool for Linux.
You take responsibility for your own phone, so if you Brick or damage, no blame to me or Link2SD..
OK...

Well Irishpancake, that was helpful enough.. but does it mean that there's no way to link any file to apps which is save in External Sd..? You know how huge the games file are... It's Like every I wanna play the games, I have to move the file to Usb-Storage, then play the game.. Do I have to do this all the time...?
I'm sorry if I'm too not understand since I changed Smsg W from Smsg Ace..

There is a manual way on rooted phone~
if you can run "Terminal Emulator" app on the phone and rooted:
1) su <-- run command as root
2) mount -o bind /sdcard/external_sd/<your directory with data files> /sdcard/<empty directory that will be used by your app>
or you can try this app "Directory Bind"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262&highlight=directory+bind
which actually do the same thing.

We have the phone now, but it is not like what I understood at all.
That is really a problem.
The app2sd has 3 tabs (on phone, on sd card, phone only)
The on sd card tab shows the small total 1.7 GB internal card, and there is no tab for the external 16 GB card.
Does it mean there is no easy way to move the applications to the big 16GB memory?

Abdalla friend......
The App2SD app is misreporting.....
It assumes /mnt/sdcard is the external SD.....
and reports what it finds!!!!
But, if you select any App shown in the "On Phone" tab.....
and then select "Move to SD card" Option......
Your App will go to External SD in the
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/.android_secure folder!!!!
App2SD is simply executing the native Android GB Apps to SD.....
The only useful function this app has is to Notify when Downloaded App can be moved......ensure you enable this in settings.
The actual moving is done by the native system move Apps function!!!
So, I would advise if you are manually moving all Apps, there is a "Move All' function!!!!
Also, can I recommend Storage Analyzer app, free from Market....
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.levelokment.storageanalyser
It is the only app I know of which allows you to see what is on the .android_secure folder from your phone, without needing to mount on your PC or Laptop.

You are incorrect if you are talking about app App2SD.....
or even if you are talking about Android native Apps2SD.......
and you have normal memory Mount Points.....
not modified "vold.fstab" as in some custom ROM's....
If you can show otherwise It would be helpful!!!

Move apps to SD
You can easily move your games to SD with "ES File Explorer"
but you need enable root acess to this application, so you can move all kind of data stored on your phone.
For non rooted phones, there are some applications that cant be moved to SD card
So the first step is obtain the root acess to your phone

Provided u got class 6 or above microSD.
If not, swapping will cause slow boot up of apps.

Just got the Note2 coming from sprint s2.
I'm not yet rooted, so I installed app2sd, got a 32gb SanDisk.
When I open and try to move app (any app) to sdcard, there is no option to move app to sd.??
Do I have to be rooted, or sdcard not formatted correctly?
My storage does show my sdcard, and camera does snap into sd... So, I'm missing something... Do I have to be rooted to move apps to sd?
Make sure your sd is formated to fat32 instead of exfat. Try that first and then go from there.

From stock, this options is no longer available. There are, however, programs that can trick android into doing this.
So what you guys are saying is, without root we can't move any apps to sd?

It seems that way. I haven't been able to find a way to do it. I'll root this weekend.
The biggest reason native app2sd does not work is your /sdcard is internal memory, /sdcard and /data are the same partition so moving from /data to /sdcard is pointless. This was done to remove the need for apps2sd. I suggest directory bind application to symlink large app folders so the data resides on /mnt/extSdCard but the app can stilll look for it on /sdcard.

No, the App2sd doesn't just show up as an option even after rooting. Even with after being rooted the only way that I know how to App2sd is by using the script shown in that video. Yes, the script method did worked for me. With the script method it is one way to App2sd only. You don't get to choose which app goes where. No script - apps go to internal memory. With script - apps go to SD card.
Not apps to SD but Gameloft games to SD.

Get App2sd to work on Jelly Bean 4.1
If you own a Samsung Galaxy S3 or Note 2, or perhaps a HTC Evo 4g LTE (One X w/ microsd slot), then you might try this app.
EVEN NEXUS :laugh: users can use this app to save apps to a flash Drive
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&feature=also_installed
YES you do have to be rooted for this to work.
Also if you have large Gameloft games or Gun Bros and other large data games, the this app may be for you:
[play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp&rdid=com.slf.ListglApp&rdot=1
This may free enough memory for what you need but be a little less complicated. There is a video on the Play Store for this app showing how to use it.
Directory bind is another option, but I am not familiar with it yet. Hope this helps.
P.s. Just so there's no confusion to the Title, these do not make the actual "App2sd" app or "AppMgr III" work. These are simply a way around Google's Changes.

Be careful..if you do it wrong when ever you try to install apps it will say "storage space full" and you have to Odin back to stock to fix..but if you do it right its a good thing to have..also use titanium backup and back IP the games you're not currently playing and save them for when you want to play them and restore.. read the thread carefully as I do not know if it works with jelly bean if you're on that.

It will not automatically do that. You will have to open ext2int application and configure it.
Use Gl to sd application.. It has a great developer support... This external to internal application last updated on Nov 2012.so there are so many bugs like duplications of files... Obviously applications install in phone memory only data files will move to the sd card. If you want to move only applications. Use link 2 sd... But data files cannot be moved using link 2 sd application..

:good: Your answer has the price of gold!!!! That's exactly what I wanted - to move the application data.
The cyanogenmod I installed yesterday has driven me crazy! In the LG's original rom I used automatic script with `mount --bind` command, it worked perfectly, in cyanogenmod it has very a strange behavior. Although I could see in `df` it was bound and could see the files from external storage at that location, but the applications still wrote to the internal storage somehow transparently in the background. Don't ask me why and how it was possible, but it made me angry. Now I'm keeping the cyanogenmod in my phone.

Yes I have tried to reinstall today and still shows blank list of applications. meantime using ext2 int, my sd card which is now the internal storage has been reduced from 14gb to 11 gb so far --- evidence that my installed applications have installed on the sd card and not on internal memory of the phone(which is now the external).
I am happy with it so far.
As for gaming I use my galaxy note for that. Also the note has "move to sd" natively.

Add luckypatcher and buy pro, then you have unlimited mounts available. And also this program is better cuz it is MUCH simpler to use.
