I am in Q&A watch mean
I haven't keeped up on Apps2SD, but I don't think it's functioning correctly. I believe it looks at the onboard storage as the SD card.
I would suggest trying DirectoryBind. It's not as elegant as Apps2SD, but does work on the GN2. So a search for it. It's not a Google Play app.
Apps2sd? For what? You have ~12gb of storage for anything you want including apps. Theres no need to put apps on a much slower external SD. Even a class 10 is about 10x slower than your internal storage. I have over 1000 apps installed and still have 6.78gb left on my internal.

Be nice. We love Android because we are all different. Android allows as to customize to our idiosyncrasies.
As for me, I had to do that conversion because I ran out of room too. I couldn't even update my apps!
Some forumites I consider to be crazy and reckless. But it is their phone, money and time. Hell, when they screw up, I learn for free.. I learn even more when they post their fix
So again, be nice.

I suppose not. I don't know what apps you could install that would eat the almost 12gb up. I guess people are saving downloads and pics/vids music to internal instead of setting internal up for apps and phone specific stuff and using the external to save all of the media and downloads too.

Oh root is the only option to fix it? I'm kinda afraid to void my warranty
Don't be scared... come on over to the dark side. Seriously though, do some reading to see if it is for you. There are ways to root and unroot, this might be a good place to start looking

YES! Come join us on the root side, everything is better XD
Additionally to evoer's suggestion, you can also check Link2Sd which is a free app that allows you to move selected apps to the extSdcard. Root is also need for this app to work, so yeah root it! You must partition your sd to have one part FAT32 and one part ext4 partition. There are free apps for that floating around that'll work on PC, not sure if the current custom recoveries have this integrated. I know back in the EVO OG days we were able to partition directly in recovery.
Warning - before partitioning, you must back up everything in the sdcard to you PC since this will format you sdcard.
As for rooting, if you take that road, go this thread found in the Android Development section. It's a tool created by Senior moderator/Recognized developer mskip. Read through the OP and some pages before attempting this. But this is on of the most straight forward and easiest methods available.
Really good instructions too

I dont know bout the Dark Side, but the Rooted side definietly!!!, It isnt hard to root and flash roms, just takes careful reading thats all.
Im now sporting my new GS3 16 gig using Phantoms Blaze Rom with the extsd2internalsd GS3 64g class10 mobile, internal 16 gig ext.
worked like a charm. Their are some issues where some apps install the app and data into the real internal memory but noting too big, Atleast thats the prob im having. Good thing i didnt spent 400 bucks for the 64 GS3 im a happy camper with this mod.

Just my opinion but if you choose to root it, do it yourself. That way if anything ever does mess up, you can figure out how to fix it on your own instead of going on one of the forums saying "help my friend rooted my phone and now everything is force closing, what do I do?!?".
It really isn't as complicated as it seems, so long as you follow all instructions and there are many here to help of you get stuck and can't find a solution to a problem. However, a decision only you can make if it is worth it. There is always a small chance of a brick. I've done it before but only cause I was a idiot and flashed an international s3 version ROM when rooting my Sprint galaxy s3
I rooted my LG optimus way back so that I could remove T-Mobile bloatware since the phone was crap anyway. Since then, I always root and have become a flashaholic (although wicked sensations v1.1 is keeping me grounded for a bit ). I'm slowly learning thanks to all the great info here, I was all proud of myself for modifying my mms.apk last week and recompiling it with no issues I still have way more to learn but once you start it is like an addiction. Lol.

Pardon my ignorance but why would you need to move any apps 2 sd card? I mean I have a S3 16GB with a 32GB card added to it and I have about 70+ apps installed on the 16GB card and I still haven't reached 50% of the memory on the phone....

I don't think there is any need for these kinds off apps/hacks anymore. The original EVO and other androids had horrible memory issues. They were trying to get by with 512MB to 1GB for both the system files and the apps. The big apps like NOVA etc only have a small piece on the ROM portion of the memory. The rest is on the internal or external SD card. So there's no need.
Granted I have the 32GB version with an additional 3GB SD card only because I had it from my EVO days. Most people don't need that much space.

ok, so I purchased a Galaxy s3 today. could not move the apps to the ext sd card. So, I rooted it thinking if it was rooted, I would be able to move the files. Still no luck. Why has samsung devised this phone not to be able to move apps to sd card. It is like going back in time to the hero. Is there a work around on this issue?
ICS and JB don't allow moving, I guess that's why phones have more than 1 or 2 gigs now.
It's not Samsung, it's Android.

It still allows moving to SD on devices with 2gb or less internal, or a partitioned internal. However internal SD on this device is just a folder on the single partition allowing you to use the entire space for anything from apps-zips and everything in between

It has been my experience that even rooting your SG3 will not allow you the ability to move hour apps to the SD card. If you discover a way to do that and still have them be functional i would love to hear it. Hope this answers your question.

Why do you want your apps moved to the sd card, are you running out of internal memory? I keep all my apps on internal and have my sd card for music and pics. The s3 has enough memory not to have that problem of needing apps moved to sd card. Well that's IMO.

Just from everything I have read moving apps to sd has caused more issues than anything on the S3. But hey to each his own.

ok. Here's the deal. I'd try to do this myself but I have next to no android knowledge other than how to use the things. I was going to get a 64gb card and do the ext sd swap trick I've seen on here BUT... half my hours were cut at work and I can no longer afford to get a 64gb card. I do have a 16gb in the phone now. I was hoping a way to make the phone think that 16 was part of the internal storage so I could extend the internal storage to the sd card. Does that make sense? Is this possible at all? Could anyone make it possible? If I added up the internal with my 16 that'd be 32gb which would be a nice size. I have apps in the app store that I can't install right now because of the limited 16gb (11 usable) space on my phone. I would really appreciate any help you guys could offer me in making my 16gb card work for apps along with my internal storage. Thanks so much!
Wrong section bro :/
Next time ask in Q&A section.
As for your question, as far as I know, that isn't possible. You can either use the internal or swap and use the sd card. You cannot merge both together, though.

What you're 'asking' would be to physically the hard memory of the nand chip - its not going to happen,
Best thing you could do is install what apps you could, then use something like titanium backup and batch move other apps to the sd card. Don't move widgets or any app you use as a widget to the sd card, or you lose widget functionality.
Along with this should be posted in Q & A.

yes yes it was posted in the wrong section, I'm sorry. It was moved to q and a so it's all good i guess...
as for my question, there's no way to join the two partitions together like you could hard drives on a computer?
if not... what is this app2sd about? If I used it would I still have my icons on the homescreens for all my apps or would it be some kind of fugly method of launching the apps on my sd card?
if I replaced my internal with my 16gb sd card would that give me a little more space since android is installed on the 16gb that the phone comes with? Currently my phone says it has 11GB usable space on the storage section... soooo if I used my 16gb would that give me 16GB usable? That'd help with my memory a little bit...
and finally... if I made the 16gb my internal... would it be possible to copy movies and emulator roms to the main phone storage since i'm using sd for apps at that point, or does that just totally negate the internal storage for everything?
sorry to ask so many questions. thanks for the help in advance. sorry about posting in the wrong section.

This is a really confusing question. Have you filled up your internal storage with apps? If so you can extend larger apps to install on the sd card and they'll run normally, unless the app involves a widget. You should never move apps that have widgets over to the sd.

how do I install larger apps to the sd? Also, what would the point be of switching my sd to internal storage like that one mod floating around here if I can just use the internal and install apps to my sd as well?

ya i searched for app2sd in the marketplace and they don't work. i think there's only one floating around on the forum here that works with the s3 but i hear it's real clunky too where you don't have icons on your home screen you have to open app2sd and launch some stuff from there which is just weird i dunno. I might bite the bullet and grab a 32gb card and hope that's enough...
I love AOKP/CM 10 Roms the blazing speed the customization , makes touchwiz look like kid stuff.However, the only issue I have is just when Im starting to get snuggled into a good ROM □WHAM□ Insufficient storage available....Now on TW based stuff I just flash a app2sd script due to the init.d support.Ive found however that this isnt possible in the world of AOKP/CM10.Or maybe it is and my weeks of research have just been in the wrong places.
I know damn well the millions of other non TW users are not running around with only a handfull of apps because of this limitation, there has to be a way.
My topic name might even be the wrong question .I just assume that increasing the /data partition on my internal 16g sdcard is what I need to do since I no longer can swap it and use my 64g for the internal.If I am wrong please tell me.Any help would be most gratefully (and possibly even monetarily) appreciated.

The phoney has gotten slow and sometimes slow responses or it acts bugged for example:
I click a picture from the menu and it won't open up, but instead it will act like if I have held my finger on it and then have option to share or delete and it wouldn't allow me to open it. Other times when I open up a picture it won't let me move it around. It get strange behaviors, or sometimes when I am texting it will have lag or slowdown while typing, example:
I'm typing a message and it slows down while i keep typing and nothing is shown written on the screen and then it lags out and it instantly types everything like leaving behind a little time of lag to catch up and trust me it get's annoying, it interrupts the conversation and sometimes you end up sending incomplete lines or mixed words and such. When it happens my only option is to reboot the phone. It get's to my nerves.
I believe this is because the internal memory is always full.
I Bought a while ago a 32Gig microsd because I thought I could store and install the apps on the sdcard so it leaves the internal space of my phone alone. I tried downloading a few apps to move some apps to my microsd card but no success. The app I got is called "AppMgr lll" but I never got it working right because I never get the option to "Move to SD Card".
I'm also using the rom: AOKP 4.2.2 and I believe it was almost a year ago when I installed it. I haven't touched my phone ever since.
All I want is, release internal memory and be able to use my sdcard for what I intended to use it for, which are the apps.
Thank you and have a nice day.
That's pretty old for a ROM. I'd suggest either updating it, or install a new ROM.

It's kind of like riding a bike, u never really forget. You're already rooted and running a custom ROM, search around and find one that u like. I would recommend S3Rx 2.1, but that's just me, I prefer tw ROMs over aosp. And as far as apps to SD, there are apps in the market to help with that, but keep in mind, not all apps will function properly when moved to SD... Good luck!!
