Looking for an app 2sd that moves apps to the sd card on galaxy s2 or even has an option to install to either storage place
I would like to know the difference and which is the fastest and best for cm7
App2SD enables you to move SOME apps to sdcard. but not data or cache. Apps on SD won't be able to provide widgets
Link2SD allows you to move any non-system app to an external sd partition. for the device it makes no difference where the app is, thanks to symbolic links. Widgets will work. If you connect your usb storage, apps on the sd still work
Data2SD
Complete data partition is moved to ext sd partition. Widgets will work. If you connect your usb storage, apps on the sd still work.
Best: depends on your preference.
Link2SD is more flexible because you can decide which app you like to move, so I use this. But you ar free to use Data2SD where you don't have to move manually.
Speed: speed is equally between Data2SD and Link2SD and heavily depends on your sd card class
I have a 16gb sprint galaxy s3. I have a 16gb card in it. Is there a way to seamlessly make the sd be added to the internal so it functions as a 32gb? I need more storage for apps bad. If I could make my sd add to the internal storage I'd be set! Any help would be appreciated.
Try "Droidrail Super App2SD Lite" from the market if you're rooted. It allows you to move almost any app to your SD. I don't believe that you can make the phone recognize the external SD as internal though

I am rooted. will tis allow me to install apps to the sd card and run them from my android menu like any other app?
i tried this app, thanks but all it does is go to the screen on the manage apps menu for that app when I go to move it. doesn't actually work.
Any way to truly move apps to the external SD card?
I have just recnetly learned that moving apps "to the SD card" in the settings>apps menu doesnt truly move them to the external SD card.
Why is that?
I dont have many apps yet, but it seems the apps i do have slowly get larger and larger as i use them and they save user data. (game progress for example).
Id like to know that I could at least move things that i dont care how fast they load to a truly external SD card (along with my wallpapers, ringtones, etc)
Even if theres a manual way via USB, thats cool. Just hoping someone with more than about a months worth of experience with a captivate glide (or really, i guess any phone that by default wont let you) could give some advice.
thanks!

You have sd card integrated to the board, its not true sd card. You can swap internal sd to external sd, then you can use same move function to use external micro sd card as application storage.

So theres no way to just manually tell it to move there without messing up whats already on the internal storage?
The Android system still has no option to move app to external sd. You can copy everything from internal (built-in) sd to external and apply change-fstab.zip to make Android think that your external sd is internal and vice versa. Works on every 4.4 rom. No performance drawbacks if using class 10 sd card. Worked for me flawlessly and thanks to bubor for this great feature.
And for manually... There's an app called Link2SD. It's some sort of workaround. You make second partition on your external SD and move apps there, leaving links for Android system on your internal storage. You can find it in google market, be sure to read instructions first.

I remember trying link2sd on a friends tablet recently. it recognized certain apps as moveable, but when i actually tried to move them (on an SD that i had already partitioned) it said failure every time.
But im not sure i want to switch my storage entirely. I would just like to allow, say another 4 gigs on my SD card (with the other 4 being for wallpapers, ringtones, etc). i have an 8 gig card right now.
Then you should try link2sd here. Basically, no other options, unless you wish to emulate Link2SD work with some scripts and move apps manually. I saw some patches for Lenovo phones to combine internal storage or something like that, but they will not work on Glide obviously.
I am using the Sinless GPE Rom for a while now and have had no problem using it. Yesterday I've bought an 64 GB Sandisk extreme SD card and it works flawless except for on thing. I can't seem to move apps to the SD card, in the app manager there is also no tab for the SD card and there is no option to move any app to the SD card. Is this because it's a GPE Rom?
Only some apps have the option to be moved. Download one of the apps2sd apps and it will list which apps can move.
With kitkat, devs need to include an option to move apps and data to SD.
I do have apps that support apps2sd on kitkat. It just does not list them in the app manager. I thought it maybe is related to the fact I use a GPE Rom. I can't move any apps to the sd not even apps that should support it. Yet I can move files to the sd and read the sd card and I even formatted it inside the phone.
