I have a 16GB Galaxy Note II, and put a 32GB card into the unit. How do I use the SD Card for application storage, like my HTC EVO allowed me to do. I can't even use the Move To SD Card option in the Applications function under Settings.
Thank you.

You cant as of right now. Jelly Bean wont allow it. I dont know if this works for the sprint version but on the international version they were rooting and then putting directory bind on to allow them to do apps2sd. I believe directory bind is found on xda only. I dont know where it is. I was thinking of using it myself.
yet another complaint I have with this phone! I wont lie for the price tag im running into a lot of things my old EVo 3D could do with ease that I am banging my head against the wall trying to figure out on this device.
SO the best work around that I have done is use a program called Directory bind. However you will need to root your device in order for this program to work right. So... I dont know how you feel about doing that or how savy you are in rooting and all that good stuff.
I will say that it only takes about 20 minutes to root the device and install Directory Bind now I have a lot of my programs stored on the SD card instead of in the phones internal memory still though there should be a cleaner way to do this than have to use a program to work around it..
Do you have a link to directory bind?

sdcard0 to extsdcard
I found a scripts the tricks ICS to use your external sdcard as your internal storage. So when apps write data to sdcard0 it is actually writting to your external sd. I tried it and it works!
I dont have permission to post outside links but you can find it at galaxynote2root in the tutorials section.
Im not even worried about apps and their data moving to sdcard as much as I want a fix for the internal memory being labeled as sdcard..
On my past htc devices this wasnt the case... Its an issue having the Real sd card labeles as extSDcard because apps such as taparalk and my browser select the default term sdcard and dont allow the option to change the path to my real sdcard.
So anytime I save an image or a file it goea straight to internal storage instead of the sdcard. Again I could care less about apps2sd but I need to keep apps separated from files I download to the device. Dont want my phones 16 gigs being eaten up by my photos and music and roms and such..
Is there anyway to rename the sdcard without messing up the system any?

Ok, try ICS SD Binder in the app store. It will provide I link inside your sdcard0 directory that will give you the option to save your images to your extsdcard. So in what ever app your using if it has the options in the settings to choose your save directory, ICS SD Binder will provide the link to your extsdcard.

in the first box "original mount point" do i need to select /mnt/sdcard or /mnt/extSdCard ?
and New mount point should just be labeled external_sd. Do i need to check any of the boxes below?
Excuse the noobness with this app, never had to do this before with my other devices, it just worked as it should and didnt have internal memory lableled as sdcard when it wasnt.
Thanks in advance.
Just check bind sd to new mount point, you don't have to change anything else.

ok ..so just to make sure..
before i go bricking my device...Link2SD does NOT work work with the Note2? or it does? I would like to be able to move my Large apps to the SD card and since im used to HTC devices(mainly the OG evo) the use of the internal card is throwing me off. Also i do not see the option to create SD EXT in the recovery i have loaded(TWRP as was suggested not to user clockwork)..so would i need to have that done on the PC?
Any help is helpfull..

Link2SD does not work on the Note2. You need to use ICS SD BINDER. I tried it my self on my rooted GN2. But this will not let you run your apps from the sdcard. It only provides a link or a shortcut if you will in your sdcard0 directory that targets your external sdcard. So if you have an app that saves data and it lets you browse a location for the data in your sdcard0 directory, this gives you the opportunity to point that in your external sdcard directory. Ex, I use a app to hide my pic on my phone. the hidden encrypted pic are stored in the sdcard0 dir, and it does not give me now option to browse my external sdcard and save the files there, this app solves that problem.

I've had this card in my rooted Droid 1 as well as a Archos 101 tablet and in both of those instances I've moved apps to SD as the internal storage on those is too small. Now that I'm going to be using this 16gb card exclusively on my rooted Evo 4G I have no reason to have space taken up by apps that won't be used or are on internal storage on this device. I want to find the folder and delete the contents to free up some space. I see one called /Android/data and another that is just /data both on the SD card. Either of these what I'm looking for? The former appears to have some older apps that I'm not using any longer but it also seems to have a couple that I'm currently using but haven't knowingly moved to SD card.
Thanks!
With a system level file manager like Root Explorer, navigate to the /data/app folder and the /system/app folder.

I'm not talking about the current location of all my current installed apps. I'm talking about the location of apps when we move them to the sd card. I wish to locate those folders from my previous devices and delete them as all of my current apps on this device are on the device and not moved to the SD card so anything on my SD card in the way of apps should be from previous devices.

android 2.2 uses the .android_secure folder on your sdcard. for the native apps2sd. if you are using some other kind they use a ext2 or ext3 partition on your sdcard. you will need gparted or linux to see this type.

So basically if I have 3rd party apps that were installed to SD card from another device I basically need to backup the files I need to keep and format the SD card in order to delete them?

You could do that, but first, were you using some other type of apps2sd? Not the android native one that started in version 2.2? Dark tremor or any other flashable or aftermarket apps2sd that uses a ext partition on your sdcard?

I would have used a combination of individually clicking 'Move to SD card' within some of the apps as well as SDMove (which I believe actually uses the same location as moving them within the apps themselves). I don't think I used anything else but I had that phone for 18mos so it's hard for me to remember for sure. On my current Evo I haven't moved any apps to the SD Card because there's much more room on the phone than my Droid 1 and I'm actually running into problems w/capacity on my external 16gb SD card. Hence the reason I'm trying to free up some more space from objects that are unnecessary.
Ok, so what you can do is just backup your music and pictures and whatever else that you know what it is and format the card. Then move everything back afterwards.

I was hoping to avoid a format but sounds like I may not have much of a choice. I need to back up pictures, Mp3's, Titanium backup, Clockwordmod and a couple other folders and reformat. I was hoping it would be easier to track down all the loose ends though.

Yea, what you could do is delete every folder on the root of the sdcard that you don't know what it is.

If you moved them just using the Move to SD card built into Froyo (including apps like SDMove that just help you do that), you shouldn't need to reformat. That's only if you set up an ext3 partition.
Mount the card and view it from the computer (or use a card reader) and delete .android_secure. The real folder is hidden when the card is mounted on the phone.
everytime i try roms i filled up space in my sd card but when i erase the zips it wont recover space so i have to do the painful longest way wish is copy paste all files outside the sd formatt de sd and then put the ones i need back to the sd card to gain more space... ( PLEASE HELP ANYONE??

Check the size of everything you have in your sd card vs. The size of your sd card.... Then decide what you want to do.

Could you then explain the issue. It's clear I sidn't understand your issue.
Is it formated in ext3, ext4? What are you using to delete the files? It's odd that after deleting the file you don't get the space back.

If you go into tibu there is an option store back ups to orignal location needs to be selected so when you restore if its on the sd it will restore to sd. Just go into tibu hit menu then preference. About half way down you will find the option.

There is an app called sd maid which I use to clean up sd with corpsefinder option. Just be careful with the app it can delete things you need. Id stick with the corpsefinder option and the systemcleaner option nothing else. If you google how to really use the app you can probably figure how to use more of its options.

I have asked this question a few times on the Sbriessen JB AOSP thread, but can't get any answers. I am having a problem in which my media can be read off of my SD card and I can locate the files on my phone, but when I move my apps to SD it moves it to my internal storage. Because of this I can't fit some of the apps I want as I have ran out of space (bigger gaming apps). I have a 32gb micro sd that works fine, and has a ton of space on it.
It seems that in ICS there was a folder on the internal storage that linked to my SD card and in JB there isn't one but there is a new directory path to get to the SD files. I am wondering if there is a way (without changing ROMS) to fix the pathway to the SD card, if there is a manual way to do it, or some fix/workaround I can do?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I leave for a while in a few days and would like to load up on games and such before hand.

Go to settings>storage then click menu>storage configuration and switch the configuration to whatever its not on currently and reboot. This will switch from internal to external or vice versa but they may be reversed so internal may really link to external and external may really link to internal. The storage locations on the et4g are a bit whacky so android sees SD card as internal and external _SD as the removable SD card sometimes the symlinks don't match up so it thinks then SD card links to external and then uses the internal symlink like its the removable, if that makes since. I have this issue on aokp where my internal is mounted as SD and my external is mounted as emmc and it causes android to not like to save apps to sd after a reboot. It loses track of where it symlinked them

This script doesn't look that hard, but do you think I could use it to make the internal the actual internal storage. I am not a developer (obviously) but I feel like the problem is that it is not reading the storages correctly. It reads the internal as the external, and the external as something else.

I tried editing the text and not going to lie, got a little confused (I am a visual learner and a little New to this). There is only flashable zip for this is there, or any other way. Seems silly they would completely change this for this version of android.
Hello.
Is there a app that moves the data to the external SD card?
I tried App2SD, and it didnt work!
I emailed the creator, and i got a replay:
http://android.a0soft.com/?url=App2SD.htm
I cannot find the "Move to xxx" button from application detailed information window.
Moving app to SD is handled by Android. App 2 SD app only provides an UI for you to manage it. Currently, Android only supports the primary external storage for App 2 SD. If the device does not have a real primary external storage or the primary external storage is emulated from the internal phone storage. Moving app to SD function will not be supported by Android system. It's the limitation of hardware. Please get more information from device manufacture.

I do have rooted my Note 2, so maybe another program can do the trick?
You can not move your applications to external sdcard.
Two workarounds (need root)
1.google for bind directory (tested on s3 and had problems)
2.swap your int sdcard with ext scdard.thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931500 (also needs custom kernel)

Actially there is one way.
You need root.
Download titanium backup pro, and you can move ALL user apps to sd card. :good:
Yea... but what SD card... i want the external one, not the small 16 gb one.
Newest edition of Spotify does not allow us to choose what SD card we store the music on.
Total failure.
Testing Bind Directory now.

Is it really that simple? I mean have you tried it, and do the games play properly without lag? If someone can confirm this you'll make my day. I have had bought titanium pro since my old GS2 days.
Titanium backup pro can really move the apps to SD for note 2? I have tried moving about 30 apps including some big size games and I don't see any different in my phone storage after moving....

From what I've read about the S3, no. That's why I was skeptical. From what I've read, you either have to use directory binder or install a mod which changes the internal storage with the sd card.

So, there is no way to do it? I really dont understand why you have an external SD that you cant used for apps or even storing Titanium backups to the EXTERNAL SD. This, as well as not being able to connect to my Hidden WAP is just about the straw that drives me back to the IPHONE. At least I know I can connect to my corporate Wifi and if I get 64gb then I truely have 64gb. Someone please ease my pain.
I think the only option for now is to use directory bind until someone made and app2sd which work for note 2 platform.

There is a way to swap your extSD and intSD.
http://www.note2forum.com/forum/galaxy-note-2-hacking-mods/80-move-apps-sd-card-directory-bind.html
Last post, and there's a video by zedomax.
It involves a running a script, which automatically loads on boot.
Needs root.

Was reading this thread and thought I'd let you know that you can choose the directory in which Titanium Backup uses to store your backups. in the backup folder location, in the preferences for Titanium Backup.
I've been having issues with directory bind. I'm going to get a larger sd card and use the swap method. I like the Note 2 to much to want to return it
Seriously people directory bind is very easy to use, just once, set the mnt/extSdCard/android/data directory from your external sd as the source, and storage/android/data as the target path.. then manually move the desired app data to the sd card folder, easy

I would really like to know this, too!!
I've partitioned my SD (30 GB Fat32 & 2 GB ext2) but there is still no "move2sd" within Titanium.
I also can't find this new partition within my "File Expert" (rooted)
Can some1 please help me??

i think you cant create ext2 partition on your external sd. Dont try that on your phone, do it with a sd card reader and pc. Then install this app (link2sd), give permission, choose ext2, reboot, and LİNK your apps to sd. Dont (also you cant) move apps. Just link... Works perfectly on my international n7100.

How did you do this? I cant see any options in the pro version. I tried holding down the app to see if I get the option to move, but there isn't one.

First I'll start by noting that I haad my n2 several days before purchasing a 64gb sd card. So system was already setup with a few apps installed pre-sdcard.
However now that I have it in, nothing saves to it. Everything still saves to the internal sdcard. I dont care about apps and such installed from market or xda, those are fine.
But anything I download from Tapatalk or the web browser automatically saves to internal. Pictures taken as well.
Im coming from an evo3d where pics and all media/files I downloaded would go to the sd card and not internal.
I do see that for whatever reason samsung nsmed there internal as sdcard which probably makes a lot of apps think that is the external and not internal but its extremely annoying. I dont know if its because I started using phone before I had an external one in or if thats by design.
But its ridiculous to think I'd have to manually copy everything over from internal to external sfter downloading something when my 3d used to place on external.
Do I need to factory reset to correct this or what. Whats the point of an external card that isnt being utilized??
Also it isnt recognized at all in twrp which after some reading I see it doesn't support 64gb? What gives?
Do I need to format it a certain way?
Thanks in advance.

I have not been able to move my Tapatalk download folder, but you can relocate where things download to under settings in the browser and camera apps.
For formatting, I'd format the card via the phone under storage if you haven't already tried that.

I changed camera to external so it now saves to /storage/extSdCard/DCIM which is good but dolphin broswer only lets u select /storage/sdcard0 which is default internal storage. Doesnt even show the extSdCard as an option. Why in the world would they do it like this. Very gay.
Had no issues on previous HTC models going to the correct place.
Would I be able to use root explorer to rename the directories?
Need this fixed more than anything. Some apps dont even give you the option to change path as they assume sdcard0 is your actual sdcard. :/

sdcard0 to extsdcard
I found a scripts the tricks ICS to use your external sdcard as your internal storage. So when apps write data to sdcard0 it is actually writting to your external sd. I tried it and it works!
I dont have permission to post outside links but you can find it at galaxynote2root in the tutorials section.
