[Q] Apps to external SD card. - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I did a quick search, and could not find the answer to this...Is there a way to move my apps to my external SD card on stock ATT Jelly Bean? I have not rooted yet, as the phone is still new and I want to make sure there are no defects before I void my warranty. It would be great if there was a work around for this without rooting, but my next question is does CM10 stable allow apps to external SD? Any help is greatly appreciated.

There are several apps in the play store for that...

Samsung removed the functionality in thier stock rom. I have not tried app2sd yet, but in my search I got the impression that would not work. Thanks for the reply though, I will give it a shot.

Worked on my sgs2....

Like it was said above, Samsung removed the feature. The phone literally can't read apps from the sd card. It just doesn't work. None of the apps in the play store (all of which require root by the way) will work. There's a hack by a guy called Zedomax (or something like that) that might work. But you will need to root your phone. It basically makes the phone think that your ext sd is your internal sd and vice versa.
Also, don't be afraid to root and tamper with your phone. If worse comes to worse, there are ways to reset the flash counter so it's like it was never tampered with even if you hard brick tour phone, there are places that will do a JTAG which is pretty much a guarantee to un Bricking your device. Hope this helps.

I don't think they were on the sd card because in my gallery i can see two different types of folders one says camera and the other one says camera with a lil pic of an sd card on it and they got deleted from the first folder
If you're rooted you can use Hexamob Recovery or Undelete For Root Users. Otherwise search the Play Store for file recovery apps, but there's a chance you have to be rooted for one to work.

I'm not rooted and haven't been able to find any apps that can recover...the pics were on the phone's internal memory and not the sd card which is why I'm guessing that these recovery programs i downloaded on my mac haven't been finding anything to restore

even if they were deleted from internal storage?
Try it and see. If it doesn't work, root the phone. They all work for internal memory if the phone is rooted. Been there, done that.

The longer you wait, the more likely you won't be able to recover. Those areas they were stored may get written over again. Just try. At this point it seems you have nothing to lose.

Well its a matter of the data being over written by newer data. He can wait days without overwriting and still be able to recover it.

I think that's what I just said.
If you do need root for any of the recovery apps, install exynos abuse (found in these threads). It's a quick apk install and a quick button click to gain root. I just hope installing yet one more app doesn't write over those sectors. Perhaps as a last resort.

Root WILL void your waranty, there are many good reasons why people root their phones but if your only reason to root is to move apps to the sd-card you should try APP2SD on google play ->https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&hl=en

I don't think there is an app that doesn't require root to move to sd card. I can highly recommend directory bind if you do choose to root though

If he ever decide to root the best app to move stuff to sd-card would definitely be Titanium backup.
Edit: Turns out there is not support for Apps to Sd-card in Titanium for the Note2 so forget this post.

Titanium does work to move application to sd on note2?
If I am not missing then it won't work on note2.
I am using directory bind and works perfect.

Humm looks like you're right. I'm sorry for my wrong post and thanks for straighting things right.
Directory bind worked perfectly for me.
Rooting the phone worked for me and solved a couple issues. Skygo won't work on a rooted phone though.
If you do end up rooting your device, there is also a great external2internalsd script and mod for note 2 which essentially allows your external sd card to serve as your internal memory. It works great with scripter in ROM Toolbox(free). Have been using it for the last 4-5 months without any problems and you can try it too instead of directory bind.

If you are concerned that your phone will crash or something, it won't, it will stay on as normal. However when you try to run some of the bigger games and all while the memory card is out you will get errors.
Why do you want to take out the memory card anyway? You can easily use a data cable to transfer data. Infact, running this script or not, it's always a good practice to not take out/physically move the memory cards you use in your device too much as it helps in avoiding any chance of corruption of data due to dust and scratches etc.

Here check this - http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/57145?start=0&tstart=0
Also, try an app called Super app2sd by Droidsail.

That app didn't work I'll keep digging around though hopefully this won't be a problem when jb rolls out the s3 can run apps from the sd and I remember the se play did as well. But thanks anyway guys
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app
Some apps can not be run from the SD. I have run some things from my SD but tend to not need it as I don't have a ton of apps. Most the time I just use the built in function like has been pointed out. Most the time I just put games on the sd simply for how much space they take.

[Q] Samsung App2SD Update???

Good day I'm planning to get a S4 Mini soon, likely the 3G version, but I don't want to root so I was wondering whether Samsung has added Apps2SD ability to it yet.
When they updated the full S4 Samsung said they were also going to add App2SD ability to the S4 Active and Mini and I was just wondering whether that has happened yet?
On the Samsung App store there is an App2SD-like app which shows support for the S4 Mini so can any of you use that app?
I'd prefer not have to root and use Link2SD....so if this hasn't happened yet then I might have to get at getting an S3 instead, despite that one not being extremely hard to operate one-handed.
When I bought my phone about a month ago apps2sd didn't work. I managed to transfer my apps to the sd with "Folder Mount" but this app requires root.
Hi I'm new to the s4 mini section.
To be perfectly honest, this phones internal memory is large enough for most things.
If you have multiple large games that you wish to keep, the quickest way is an app called gl to sd.

App2SD is supported.
Use an app called AppMgr III (formerly called App2SD)

So you can use it now? On a completely stock phone without root?
Yup I'm currently stock, nothing messed with. You can go to application manager and select Move to SD.
Read my previous post because I just edited it.
Edit: but remember if an app has not been designed with App2SD in mind, then you can't move it.

Thats true, it will copy to the emulated sd card which is in fact your internal storage, thus resulting to fail moving as the app is already there.

App2sd is not yet supported. When i used to boot up AppMgr3 on samsung stock fw update (July/Aug '13 update) i got "Your device is not supported because the sdcard is being emulated" and resulting in not reading the extSdcard instead.
Sent from my GT-I9195 using xda premium
Oh darn. Perhaps the update has only been released in Eradica's region and not in your region yet/or not yet released by your carrier?
I don't know about any new samsung stock updates as i'm not running stock firmware ever since CM alphas. I failed to mention that i use CyanogenMod 10.1.3 firmware, so im not really having space issues.
Also i could always flash my kernel and rom back to original stock if any means necessary due to warranty void.
Sent from my GT-I9195 using xda premium
Well that explains it then because the is a function Samsung is specifically adding back to it's S4 line and perhaps also some S3 models with an update. Android JB which your CM is based on doesn't allow native App2SD anymore.
Ok, I just got my S4 Mini LTE version yesterday and I can confirm that Samsung have in fact released the update because I have the Move to SD card function for most of my downloaded applications on the stock 4.2.2 version.

WOuld External to Internal App work?

Hey guys, I need some help in doing the swap from Internal to External so that way I can install more apps. I was looking around I found External to Internal app, will it work fine on 4.3 ? And are there are other work around for 4.3 OS. I found guides but they are for 4.2.2 and below. Haven't been able to find one for 4.3 Not sure if they patched or the process it still same.
Many apps can be moved using the app management in Settings now. Have you tried that yet?

Yeah instead it just moves it to a different folder in phone storage. I think 4.3 killed sD cards.
I'm not really sure then. Though I'm pretty sure that ought to move them to the external card. Ive rarely had to use it, but I recall doing so always did for me.

for me , with ESfile explorer with root privileges i am able to move files/items back and forth quite easily. dont know if that would help your exact issue though.
