Ability to move apps to external sdcard - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all..
I'm seriously considering to upgrade my current RAZR to note 2, i love the specs, the feel, the usability..
However, I'm concerned on moving apps to external storage.
Can it be done? I did some search on google, some recommends gl.. But it requires root.
Is there easier way to accomplish this? It puzzles me why we can't move apps to sd card..
Anyone can tell me whether it can be done? It's the only factor holding me back from getting note 2..

Can't do it in the note 2 without root. It's that simple. However, you do have 10.5GB of unallocated storage for apps. You won't run into problems unless, say, you're a gameloft fan or an extreme app hoarder.

U got me there.. I have 2 gameloft installed and i use a Chinese comic book reader which i have downloaded 6gb worth of comics, or rather manga.
I'm stretching my 32gb sdcard to its limits with my movies and music videos i keep on card too..
Ok.. Root it is then.. The only reason i rooted my RAZR its to enable the use of tibu.
Tibu does work fine right? Along with ota root keeper..

Look at the second entry.
It runs a script which swaps your ext with your int. So it fools your phone think it's int is 64gb.
It's perfect if you're downloading games and stuff.
What's good about it is everything you do on the phone from then on will be saved on ext. So when you're reflashing a new rom, just pop ext out and that's your backup done.

you need to root your phone to transfer apps to sd card, and if you want to transfer movies, music and pictures, you can do it without rooting your phone, is that correct? sorry for my bad english

There's an app in the market called GL to SD (root). Based on the reviews it appears to work fine.

Works great. Just remember to unmount it when you are done. If not you are going to have apps storing to the external SD. BTW requires root.
i found this very helpful, i was looking for something like this, i have a 32 gb card and i don't really want the big downloads of gameloft to go on phones storage. exactly what i was looking for thanks

Move games data to microsd card

Hi people, I am a note 2 user from Indonesia. Does anyone know how to move games data to micro sd. Is it possible without root? I have installed wildblood, shadowgun, and several other games and found that my internal memory free space left for only 3gb right now. By the way i have a 16gb gnote2.

I don't think you can do that without root access, no.
I suggest you root it already and use Directory Bind from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262

Moving games data to external Sd card.

I'm currently running rooted stock 4.1.2 on my Note 2, and have downloaded a few Gameloft games and I'm running out of internal memory.
I have a 64Gb sd card with 50Gb of free space.
Is there a way to move the big files (obb) to the external card, so the game can recognize it?
Thanks.

I feel ya dude! All those EA games are over 1GB.
Try madmack's app(folder mount). It moves/links any internal files to external sd.

yep, always good to support those hard working developers.
Pay attention to the pins. Green = access. If is gray no access.

root external 2 internal sd app

Hi all can you help please?
I can only get a 16gb Galaxy Tab S in the Uk and I would like to have more than 6gb of space to play with so I was wondering if anyone has used or tried the root external 2 internal sd app on play store or the note II app2sd script.
Can someone help?
Thanx All for looking
If you have root you can use SD FIX in the play store to move lots of things to an external sd. Plus freezing apps makes it faster!
Links2sd works well too. Touchwiz allows you to move to sd anyway too can't see why you would have to do the sd fix. Or does it add more ability to move apps and games?

Just got a warranty replacement note 4

What is the easiest, fastest and best way to transfer all my photos, videos, and music to the new device? For some reason everything is saved to the darn internal storage and my my SD card ??
Ever use Google Drive?
