I read almost all of the posts about Moving apps to MicroSD but I didn't find a way to do it without Rooting.
Here is my question :
How Could I move my Apps to my MicroSD without rooting.

Hey people, I'm experiencing some problem with moving Apps to my SD card.
I'm quite a lazy bump and writing this topic probably takes more time than redownloading all of my stuff But I'm stubborn and I want to know how this works.
The reason I want to move stuff to my SD card is the fact I ****ed some stuff up and I want to install a stock rom
I was installing the new system update via this GUIDE, thanks fly out to hamdir
Unfortunately, something went wrong (check it out here), because I had preinstalled apps removed, and by-passing the problem it caused didn't work out well...
So now I want to install a stock rom so the preinstalled stuff will be there again, and I will be able to update it properly.
------------------------
So, the actual question.
Because I want to have all my applications on my SD card anyway, I started moving it through Manage Applications.
For some applications (apps I surely installed myself), I cant select the ''Move to SD" option, while if they already were on my SD card it would say Move to phone - which it doesnt.
Any idea on why I can't? I maked sure they werent running
Because some apps don't work properly if you run them from t the sd card. You'd be better off looking at an app called titanium backup for what you are trying to do.
Sent from my performance enhanced Desire HD
To use titaniumbackup I will need root acces which I mysteriously lost (check the link I gave, hope someone could still assist me there a little..!)
It would seem weird to me that compatability with the SD card is the issue because some of my simple games I can't move either.
For example: Armored Strike. Is there anyone who has this on his phone that wants to check if he is able to move it to SD card?
Thanks
Hello all,
I am receiving a new SD card tomorrow and I'm planning on making a partition on that card to install all my apps on the SD card.
Now I wondered, if you use apps like theft aware ( https://www.theftaware.com ) which I am considering, this does mean that from the moment the thief removes the SD-card, the whole app is gone right?
I read in an old topic that it's not possible to install an app in the phone's real internal memory when you use an external partition, is this still not possible?
The app is factory reset proof etc, only way to remove it is to flash a new ROM, but if removing the SD card also would remove it (in this case), it makes it already less attractive..
If anybody would also happen to have links on guides or more info about the sd-ext process, feel free to add them here, so far I have read http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015532&page=164 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175550 but the more info before first trying it the merrier.
Cheers
Hello All,
I just got my note about 1 week (SGH i317M) ago really enjoying it,
but couple question is still a wonder in my head..
i come from an iphone world so all this, is confusing for me
1) Could you root while keeping all your things intact (base band, kernel, build)?
2) Also ive seen couple threads saying that you can't use a micro sd card has an internal drive,
Does my phone has to be rooted to be able to do this?
3) Let say i custom root my phone is there a way back to revert the official samsung firmware if i don't like it
4)how come i don't have multi window on my device is it part of a new android Version right now i'm on 4.1.1?
Thanks
1) Yes. Check out chainfire's auto root in the original android section. It's the best rooting method for beginners.
2) I don't quite understand what you mean. Both FAT32 and Exfat format micro sd work in my note2. However, note2 doesn't allow you to move apps to sd card. There are workarounds that can help with that issue (such as: external to internal swap / Directory bind) but those of course require root. Again, I'm not sure I understood the question correctly.
3) Yes. You just need to flash stock firmware over again or factory reset.
4) You need to update your firmware. Two of my friends who bought note2 didn't get multiwindow out of the box even though it was 4.1.1. They got it once they updated.
What I understand

I think he means "Can he use the SD card as an internal drive?". That is the SD card as internal memory.
He comes from iPhone world so he may not be able to frame the question properly.
Well you can always move the apps to the SD card it is a default Android feature.
But it still occupies some internal memory.
However, to partition the SD card and to use a partition as extended drive SD-EXT you need to root I guess.
I have purchase Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 a months back and now my internal memory approx 10GB is full and not able to install apps anymore.
Please help me regarding it, How to move my old apps to SD Card,
Is it possible to move them without rooting my phone.

Unfortunately it is not possible. I had the same problem after only 10 days. I am forced to uninstall apps to instaln new ones! Very annoying. Check that your photos are are saved to the SD card (from inside the camera). You can also regularly delete photos you do not want and make sure other camera apps you have installed save to sd. If you have Spotify or any other streaming music service that lets you save playlists for offline use make sure they save to sd.
This sd issue is a big misstake by Google/Samsung which can only have a negative affect on Android developement.
Regarding rooting. I'm going to wait. I don't want to lose any of the functions that I have, such as S-Planner widget or S-Pen functionality.
Yes You can't move application to SD card on Note2.
Try moving data like Pic,video,music etc to Ext SD card.
Another possibilities is get your device rooted ad use directory bind to move application data to Ext SD card
@Dmwitz
Rooting won't disable any function. except sometime OTA/Kies updates.
I am unrooted, and used a non root app to move apps to the SD card. After moving all that can safely be moved, plus a number apps that were only somewhat compatible, I backed out to the main screen. Voila! The SD card ejected itself virtually. All that got moved became gone. Luckily, a simple restart put everyone back. I'm hypothecising that LG omitting the native storage from the ROM effed up the SD ejection. What, if any, work around exists?
Hi. Please in the future post your questions in the Q&A section. I'll ask a moderator to move this thread.
I don't know the answer to your quesiton, though.
