My phone is debranded, rooted, has clockwork mod and the gold card. I have also flashed the phone with NexTSense 5.0 FroYo by NeoPhyTe.
Now, I went to applictaions, and tried to mave some apps to SD, however the button ("Move to SD") is grey and I am not able to mave any apps to SD.
I have been reading about partitions on SD, however I don't know if that is for moving apps to SD or some other function.
If anyone knows, could you please enlighten me please?
Also, if anyone know (I persume most of you do), what does Radio mean? I have searched "Radio on Android OS" however it seems to be and FM Radio, is that what it is supposed to be?!
Thank you for your time!
Hi !panda,
There's an app called app2sd on market. Also titanium backup. Your phone needs to be rooted I think. I've managed to move some hefty programs like earth to the SD with little if any gain in speed but at least some satisfaction. Good luck with that.

None of my apps will move to SD, same as you with the button being grey.

Also, Radio is sort of the image file for your phone wich handles the calls and data and such. some radios get better reception and make the phone run better overall.
For instance, my desire was getting trippy after i used a custom rom. I updated the radio and everythings fine now
You need to partition your SD card. Install rom manager from the market. You can use this to partition the card but it will wipe the card so backup the contents to your pc first. Partition with 512mb then 32mb swap. Copy your contents back to card. Then install either spare parts or modinstalllocation from the market, both allow you to choose where apps are installed and will open up apps2sd.

hi, sorry for the late reply..
even ROM Manager doews not work for me! I did the 512 and 32mb but now when I got to doing it in Applicatioins, the buttonis still grey and I can not press it,l I aslo got an app called SDMove however that only shows 3 apps, Titaniunm Backup, SetCPU and ROM Manager...
any other ideas??
I've succeeded with [ROM] Black Notes Hybrid 2nd Gen by doing:
DO FULL WIPE TO YOUR DEVICE 2x (flashing newer stock [I8150DXLM3 - Malaysia - New] before is recommended)
DO RESTORE VIA CWM SELECT RESTORE DATA
REBOOT
DONE
everything was smooth & fresh everything is close to perfection. I was greatly surprise with it performance & smoothness thanks all to @Rio Saputro
the problem comes when i've successfully done memory swap as you can see on the attachment. it work well, just that i find it weird when i restore USER APPs + Data with titanium backup it seem restoring the app to internal memory (restored whatsapp app + data used up like +-20mb of internal memory).
I tried install app from play store some of it didn't used up internal memory but for like fruit ninja it used up like 3~5mb of internal memory.
once i've done memory swap i done like 20-30 apps restore using titanium backup when i reboot the phone it laggy & spiky then when i check the storage my internal memory left +- 500mb...
i've done re-flashing rom but still the same & also tried to changed the setting of restore app memory but nothing works.
anyone faced this? before this i was using Cow ROM v7 (Bionic Cow 2) but works perfectly which the rom comes with memory swap.
i've been deciding my next step of solution :
1. redo memory swap
2. do this (no idea if it's work on phone or even GB)b [MOD] MicroSD 2 Internal Memory Swap w/ICS support
3. worst come to worst stay unswap that's means wasted 64GB
SANDISK MOBILE ULTRA MICRO SD which cost me a bomb
I didn't know sgw can support 64gb of microsd card.. could it be the source of the problem?

Restoring TB backed up User + Data not recommended when restoring to new ROM.
What ROM was TB backup made with??
Don't restore App Data from one ROM to a different ROM.
In your TB pics, 1 & 3.......Internal Memory is exactly the same!!! 947/948MB
Are you speaking about your Internal SD?? [Which now has Large Physical SD Card Mapped]
I would also say that quite a lot of the SD card is unusable due to what darkteb says, 32G may be the limit for SD cards on our device....
Pic 3 says Total 59G, usable 39G....does your App Data take up 20G??
Android Default location for Apps is Phone Memory, not any SD!!
AFAIK, and understand, with a mount swap implemented, External SD card [1.8] and Internal SD/USB Storeage [64/32??] behave same as always, just reversed......
Moved Apps will go to External, which is your 1.8......no sign of any moved Apps!!!....have you moved any Apps???
So, all your Apps are on Internal Phone Memory.......about 192M of Apps, is that about correct?? [947M Free/192 Used]

1. ROM? GB 2.3.6? backup made up with(i don't get it)
2.oh the picture is duplicate.psps
3.yup device memory available: 0.88gb( the first picture)
4. not true. i've search & discover all other android forum most of android can support it simply just insert the 64gb sd card to phone & format it under setting then its usable.
5. oh..that 20GB is made up of my own songs video and other media stuff. nothing to do with other apps.
6. Really? before this i used Cow ROM v7 (Bionic Cow 2) i've all those app that i backup with TB before & it didn't used up like 500mb of my device memory also.
7. i've not move any apps to external
8. right. but for some apps that required download data after installation the data will store in USB storage.
Appreciate your Help.

hmm..just a thought maybe because those apps are backup from DXLC1 & i restored to Base band XXLM6 rom might have changes on it's default app storage.
Anyway i'll try it again on DXLAC1.

Hi yewsiong......
I think you may be correct in identifying the SD Card Class as a possible problem.
Thanks to OP for info regarding the 64G SD, but the class would also be crucial. [Good to know the SGS will accept 64G Card!!!]
Not sure where you see the 1.83G on Internal Card. In OP's pics??
TB pics point to nothing on 1.8G SD [Called External]...the Storage pic (2) does not show the top of the screen, SD Card Total Space bit missing, but I suspect it will show 1.7G....not sure where TB gets the 1.83G from???
For OP:
I still contend that restoring User Apps +Data is not good practise, and is not recommended if you have flashed a new ROM whether new Android Version, or same Version, like 2.3.6......not all 2.3.6 ROM's are the same, as we know.
Most custom ROM Devs say do not restore User Data!!! [even sometimes when going from one version to another version of their ROM.]

Hi Irish~
take a look at the bottom of TB pics. 1.7GB is the available storage but 1.83GB is the total space (some space will be taken due to formatting and partitioning)
From what I know so far, SOME developers do not recommend users to restore files from previous ROM is not mainnly because of firmware version but the permission problem which lead to FC. (For example, u allowed ROMtoolbox to have SU to run some tasks in previous ROM but haven't enabled it in the new one, it can cause FC problem)
It can simply be solved by using fix permission via CWM or ROM Manager anyway.
However, if u want to restore apps from different firmware such as from GB 2.3.6 to CM9 (ICS 4.0.X), some apps are just incompatible. That's why acro68 asked us to re-download from market rather than restoring it.
Besides, even restoring contacts/messages could lead to FC problem too though it is a bit unusual.

Thats mean if i restore to original location is to 1.83GB (internal sdcard) ??
But i want it to restore to my USB storage which is my sd card due to memory swap.
FYI im using sandisk ultra mobile class 6 its faster that normal class 10 sd card. You can go their website and check it out.
Ive tried out myself its faster transfering file to internal sd via usb tranfering feom pc.

Yup. I know that.
U can restore some of them 1st then use TB to move them into ur huge "internal sd". Two times should be able to finish.
After u have completed, delete the old TB backup folder and remake TB backup for this ROM. Hence, the original location will be what u want for future restoring on SWAPPED rom.

[GUIDE] [FAT32] [EXT2] [any android] How to Partition your Android MicroSD Card
NOTE: I’m not responsible if you brick your phone, be very careful.
________________________________________
Borrowed these Screenshots from:
sayhellotwoheaven ( Go give HIM thanks too!!)
Requirements:
- A Smartphone
- Root
- Busybox
- Android
- A FORMATTED 2GB MicroSD Card or Higher
- The MiniTool Partition Wizard (Free)
- Link2SD
Step 1: Partition your MicroSD Card
Note: To make this post, I will use a 16 GB card as an example. You can use any size you prefer.
First: Connect your MicroSD with the adapter to your computer and open the MiniTool Partition Wizard.
You can see the principal partition of you memory card. Right Click on it and Choose Delete.
Insure that you select your memory card and NOT your hard drive!!!!!
Next: right click on your memory card and click "Create". Choose the size you want for External Memory. Remember to leave the amount that you want to use for Internal Memory FREE then click OK.
Next, click on the Unallocated space; click yes to create a new partition. WARNING! – USE EXT2 NOT EXT4!!!. Click OK .
Now click OK then click apply (TOP-LEFT CORNER)
Wait for the action finish.
When finished: disconnect your MicroSD Card and follow step 2 on your phone.
Step 2: Setting Up Your Phone: Link2SD
Now, proceed to configure the EXT2 partition for apps partition (INTERNAL MEMORY) on your phone.
First Install Link2SD on your phone.
Shut down your Phone and put the partitioned MicroSD card in your phone. Now Start your Phone and open "Link2SD", and give Root Permissions. Select ext2, wait while script is created then reboot your phone.
WARNING! – USE EXT2 NOT EXT4!!!
Note: If you have Link2SD already installed, you will need to clear cache and data.
Settings>Applications>Manage Apps>click Link2SD
Select clear CACHE and then select clear DATA.
WARNING! – USE EXT2 NOT EXT4!!!
Select OK AND REBOOT AT THIS POINT.
After rebooting: open Link2SD and go to Settings, and choose these parameters below:
Now, when your install an app, it will automatically be moved to the EXT2 partition. Remember, when you want to install an app and want to have it in your phone memory, uncheck "Auto Link" in Link2SD Settings, then install the Application. Afterwards, recheck "Auto Link". With Link2SD you can install, uninstall, Link and remove links of your apps. You can also do a few other things that are described in the app’s description on the Play Store.
Is this working for any one? It worked great for me.
Would greatly appreciate at least a couple people tell me if they have tried it or not. I did my sons concord this way.

This worked great, I am now able to install many more apps on a T-Mobile concord android phone. I do have a question, even though I am able to install many more apps, I still see the internal memory space getting lower and lower, does that mean that every app I install, it will still require some space in the internal memory? do I always need to move the apps to sd card in order to save internal memory space? is there a way to move all the app into the external space partition? Again thank you so much for putting this information together, I can now use T-Mobile concord phone with many more apps as I used to.

If you partitioned the SD card and inserted it in the phone BEFORE you installed link2SD and followed ALL of the instructions, step by step, then a very small amount of space is stored on the actual internal memory.
FYI - You can uninstall all of the T-Mobile apps. My account, TV, the Samsung account thing, layer?, etc... DO NOT uninstall anything google or Android. E.G GMAIL, CALENDERS, or anything else that you are unsure of.

fathertomany's photobucket pics aren't showing up for me on 2 pcs and 2 mobile phones.
make sure your settings are on your downloaded apps show "Linked -> SD Card" not "on SD Card".
take a look at this FAQ for more info: search or google link2sd.info/faq for more info
btw-make sure both partitions are listed as "primary" not "virtual".
fathertomany, thanks again for spearheading these mods! hope your phone gets fixed

BTW - My new phone is:
Android version: 2.3.7
Kernel: 2.6.35.7+
Build Number: V768V1.0.0B19
It was already factory when I rooted.
I had to use SUPERSU. SUPERUSER installed and granted permissions but would not update the binary. it would fail on checking to see if superuser worked.
after i partition it can i put it back to normal? if i change phones or whatever
Yes. Just repartition the entire card to fat/fat32 after deleting both partitions, with the mini partition tool.

Partition the card then just copy files like you normally would. There is a chance the concord cannot read a card that big.

Hi,
I have Android 4.1.2 and trying to move apps from phone storage which is only 2GB to USB storage (11.25 GB). But for every app, movable or not when I try to move - hit the "move to sd card" button- . It says "unable to move app. Note enough storage space".
I don't have external SD card right now and I only want to move them to internal. Do you know what can I do?
Thanks

All the roots apps are for moving apps only to external sd card and to change the default storage location to either internal storage or external sd card. None have the option to change it to internal USB storage.

See idk because when I do app to SD on my ROM it goes to my USB storage, which is the internal SD card, 11.9gb, not to my external SD card I have to manually put the apps on external if I want so theoretically it should be putting them there by default, what ROM are u on? Are u rooted? Ever use an app like storage swap or anything? Shouldn't be installing apps in ur system partition, 2gb, that should only be for system apps..?

What I'm saying is I don't know because ur system, no matter what shouldn't be installing user apps in the system partition, my best advice would be to back up what u want from the phone and use Odin to do a complete wipe and unroot to stock 4.1.2 ROM, this will erase all data on the phone and restore it to stock status, from there u can reroot and use TB to get ur apps back, somewhere along the lines it sounds like ur system got confused or something because it shouldn't be putting anything in that 2gb partition, that's only for system and system app data not user, that's the whole reason to have it partitioned off, if it was me that's what I would do, just start over and see if that was it, sorry wish I could help more but I don't have ur device in front of me so I don't know

What I'm saying is I don't know because ur system, no matter what shouldn't be installing user apps in the system partition, my best advice would be to back up what u want from the phone and use Odin to do a complete wipe and unroot to stock 4.1.2 ROM, this will erase all data on the phone and restore it to stock status, from there u can reroot and use TB to get ur apps back, somewhere along the lines it sounds like ur system got confused or something because it shouldn't be putting anything in that 2gb partition, that's only for system and system app data not user, that's the whole reason to have it partitioned off, if it was me that's what I would do, just start over and see if that was it, sorry wish I could help more but I don't have ur device in front of me so I don't know

Thanks for your reply. I have mounted an external sd card and using link2sd to move apps to it. One thing I noticed that with sd card mounted, when I move apps to external sd card, some part of the app moves to the usb storage and also the app size increases after doing so. However, still there is no direct way of moving/installing apps to usb storage without an external sd card.

Hi,
I have Android 4.1.2 and trying to move apps from phone storage which is only 2GB to USB storage (11.25 GB). But for every app, movable or not when I try to move - hit the "move to sd card" button- . It says "unable to move app. Note enough storage space".
I don't have external SD card right now and I only want to move them to internal. Do you know what can I do?
Thanks

DL rom toolbox pro, under tools, all the way at the bottom u can select app2sd configure, in that there are 3 options, internal, external, or device storage, tick corrasponding selection and should be good

Actually, the options under Apps2SD in Rom Toolbox Pro are: 1) Auto, 2) Internal & 3) SD card!!
So? anyone could finally move the apps to the INTERNAL memory (those almost 12 GB) and not to the real external SD card?
Cheers!
Not me, but apparently the user above you was able.

I tried to use ROM Toolbox's app manager to move apps to the famous "internal SD" of the GS2.
When I move apps to SD (without an actuel SD card), I get no error but the app seems to have simply vanished from the phone with no memory actually freed on the system partition. Does someone understand what happens ?

What is your ROM? Most of my apps go to internal sd storage. The only apps that are on internal are system/came with ROM. I do believe data resides internally on the 2gb partition, but rest is on internal SD. Perhaps, you need a fresh install.

Actually I'm running the stock 4.1.2 ROM of the GT-I9100, and all apps go to the 2 GB partition :/

Okay, I use ROM Toolbox Pro. I uninstalled an app that was on internal partition, went to ROM toolbox> app2sd and it has three options: auto, internal, and SD. I selected SD, then reinstalled app, and then checked, app is now on internal sd, (not extsd).

Because I am sure I am not clear, internal partition = 2gb phone storage/internal storage, internal SD = 11.29 GB SD that resides on phone. My apps are going to internal SD when I select SD in ROM toolbox options, NOT to the removable external SD card I put in my phone
The problem with other app2sd apps is that they try to install to external SD, hence why your apps disappear, (for those apps, you need ext SD partitioned with iirc ext4). Try romtoolbox first, open, go to configure apps2sd, and it should recognize your onboard SD card)

You are perfectly clear. I changed settings in ROM Toolbox Apps2SD, but still apps go to the 2GB partition

Well, it is possible it is the stock ROM. You could try a
factory reset in your custom recovery and see what happens or full wipe and install a custom stock ROM, (backup 1st, make sure you have appropriate recovery version for installing ROM, etc).
Apps to ExtSdCard
Since I have a 16 GB ExtSdCard, I want to install and run apps from that on Android 4.1.2 on a Samsung GalaxyTab2 7. I am using Directory Bind now, which can't seem to work with all apps, so I am wondering if anyone has come up with or knows about a more perfect solution...it was no problem with Android 2.3 on my old rooted phone, but no so with this rooted Tablet...
I have the Samsung Galaxy SII T989. It's rooted with Chameleon rom on it. How can I move the apps to my external sd card and not my internal sd card. The internal sd card is 11.5GB and my external sd card is 29.5gb. When I try to move apps from like Link2SD, etc. It installs them to my internal and not my external.
Use titanium back up to move to SD card. There's a move to SD card option, to PROVE it works here's some screenshots from 5 seconds ago lol

I already tried Titanium Backup and still doesn't work. If I try going into settings and click 'Move to SD Card" it moves it into the internal storage. Its acting like the internal storage is the sd card. I posted few screen shots in to what I'm trying to say. When I plug my phone into my pc, it does show up my internal storage and my external sd card separate.

Well that's the same for most phones. I have the main memory in my phone. Then the internal sd card, along with external, there's no way to choose where is there? Couldn't you just use root browser go into system apps and move the apk to your SD card? I've done that before, worked good for me. Or use clean master and move it. I've done all of the above across almost every manufacture. I've worked with sisters LG's my HTC, dads samsung, friends moto, and all those methods have worked perfect I will see if I can find anything tomorrow, lol gotta be up in like 5 hours xD

I have the same issue. I have a galaxy s4 with cyanogenmod 11. There is no option to move to SD card. Any tips?

I myself run cm 11.... In the menu when you're looking through all apps, if you click on it there should be a option to move it. Or at least for me there is....
