It may create a wormhole that could potentially transport you and your phone to an alternate universe -be very careful with this power!
Kidding. Your external storage is there for your convenience and added storage capacity for things such as, including apps, music, videos and pictures. Some apps are written to be stored within the phone's internal storage, but most can be moved of so desired.

Also, depending on the size of sdcard you have, you could partition the card's storage for applications only, leaving the rest for music, pictures, and/or videos. Just another option...

No it's not bad at all. The only thing is the apps moved to the sd will take a little bit longer to load up when your phone turns on.
I haven't moved any of my 135 apps to the sd and I still have .94 GB left on my phone storage

nope
i use it all the time to save space on the phone, with the thought of it should boot up faster, and only downside i have found is sometimes an app doesnt link correctly with the phone when i reboot or unmount the sd card or link my phone via USB and un link then it sometimes misses an app or too, then i need to unmount and re mount or just reboot.
Not sure if that is just my New SD card messing up or the rom, i dont remember having this issue before. But the sd card i have is a class 10 32 gb.
either way thats the only issues i have had.
best of luck!
what about moving them to the "internal SD" so it uses that partition of the internal storage rather than the phone storage?
Do you know what they say about big SD cards?

My phone won't read my SD Card but when I take it out from the slot there looks like there is little wires sticking out..
So does anyone know what this could be?
And for the time being is there anyway to remove this SD Card notification?

The little wire you see is a spring mechanism for the card, and what happened to you is likely a bad file you didn't notice quick enough and reformat.

Do you have another android/ access to another one? Swap out the sdcard with yours, mount it through that phone, format, and all good
An sdcard reader would work too

I'm going to copy and paste this here. I asked in Perseus kernel thread but there's not a whole lot of traffic there and thought some elsewhere might have the answer.
Does anyone know if there's anyway to get apps to move to sd on a stock rooted MA7 rom? I thought it might be a jelly bean issue but it can't be because I can do it on my stock non rooted epic touch which is running the latest jelly bean update. There has to be a way. Thanks.

It's a Google mod, not Samsung. There is much discussion on it, but it all started with Jellybean.
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/35541/why-did-sdcard-turn-into-sdcard-0-with-4-2
the only way I know to move apps to the SD Card is with Directory Bind. It's as elegant or user friendly as Apps2SD, but it does the job once you learn it.
I found a super easy script to use. Install Script Manager from the Play Store and run the script from the website linked below. I don't take any responsibility for you borking your phone so I gave a link to the video. Follow his instructions and you'll be fine.
http://androidroot.org/watch_video.php?v=972RRYY87M9U
It swaps the internal for the external (I have a 32GB card). Super easy and works like charm so far (couple of days now).

You can use an app like rom tool box where it will move the app only to your sd card.
You can then use FolderMount to move app data to a folder on your sd card.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount
FolderMount will require root.
Hey guys. I know space can be an issue if you're like me and like having a lot of games. So this app called gl to sd which is free in the play store freed up so much space for me. It moves data to your external storage. Just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone interested. Not sure if I put this in the right section though. Anyway check this out.

Ok had a bit of a scare lol. Thought I lost all game data and had to start over. It looks like you have to open everything from within that app itself and not homescreen icons.

No just the app itself. Only thing I'm wondering is if it will still get market updates. Not sure how it would recognize it.

This is driving me insane. It says most of my internal storage is filled. But I can only account for 4.5 gigs used at most. Any help figuring this out would be awesome!

Your screenshot doesn't display the amount of free space, so you haven't provided enough info for troubleshooting. 9.57gb is the correct amount for a 16gb phone.

Actually, it says "Available Space: 482MB."
Are you using CWM @wesmagyar? If yes, go to the root of your device and look in the directory /data/media/clockwork.

Not saying that is the problem, just that I've seen it 4 or 5 times already here, so that's the 1st place I'd look into for this particular problem.

I understand. But if you made any backups with CWM, be sure to check that directory. Every situation like this I've seen has had backups residing in that directory.
And this one is no exception, that is just weird man. I went there and sure enough the two Backups from my external SD we're in that directory as well. I deleted them and now I have 7.45 gigs free Thanks!
Its alright I've been using clockworkmod since the mytouch 3G and I've never seen this.

Take a screenshot and let's go deeper then! You can browse the whole thing directory by directory and we can find the culprit.
