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.

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.

Hey peeps. I finally got fed up running out of storage and went searching for something to fix it. Modern combat 3 takes up 1.4 gigs and Nova takes even more. With this app I can move their external data to the external SD card freeing up more room for more games.
I didn't create this app, just wanted to let people know about it. Remember you need to use the app to open these games once you move their data, otherwise they will just re download their files again.
Feel free to ask me any questions and I'll try and help if I can.

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.

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.

As said above it certainly degrades SD card life.I didnt loose any but mine 8gb class 6 sd card became so slow that copying a 70mb file used to take about 20mins to copy!
So I had to buy a new one,but yes there is a noticeable change in performance using swap.But just to get that bit of performance boost,you might end up being frustrated the other way,so not recommended.
Well i used swap Nothing strange happen with SD card... i used only 256 mb which is more than enough.
I used it with "system control pro" app, as it let you set swapiness, vf cache preasure and drop caches.
If you experiment with those values you can get something good. And also if you dont do it right you will get random reboot 1 times a day, or freeze sometime when it full that swap but does not drop cache... depending how you set it, you can get multitasking improved
If you have time try it. Sure kernel must support swap as you know it alrdy i guess...
Good luck :good:

I use My Drives to find the space hogging files. It's free.
FolderMount, DirectoryBind and so forth can give funny readings on the when you look at storage. You literarely have not the storage used and available before and after binding. Most of the file explorers will show the binded file in the original location. It's been moved, but what you're seeing is more a holding marker.
I figured out how to use Folder mount and its working good. I was just not mounting the data by clicking on the paperclip button lol. Thanks guys.

--> extSD card not writable by system <--
Are you saying you cannot write to the SD card with apps like OfficeSuite Pro or the camera or just that the system will not install and run programs from the SD card?
If an application is designed to save its files to the card in a folder created by said application, then yes. If the application cannot create a folder on the card, then no. That is a quick explanation.

BTW - When I went to KitKat on some of my other tabs all I had to do was reinstall the same apps (same versions) and they worked fine. The reinstall did something that made them work fine. Out of several hundred apps it was only a handful.

Is this only for 10.1 2014 with KK? Because I dont think this is KK related as Chromecast works for my Note 3 with SinLess KK ROM.
can someone quickly elaborate about extSD card issue
I've been able to grab small tid bits here and there.
does that mean that I can't store data, or that apps that for example fpse use ext sd for rom storage will no longer be able to use extSd ??
Sd card will work pretty much like on pre-Android, pre-Symbian phones.
Only good for media files, which must be stored via a pc, not say, loaded with the tablet from a nas.
Probably pics and vids taken with the Note can be saved on the card.
They force all more sophisticated users to root. Others, who enjoy being submitted to rules, even silly ones, and miss Adolf, are already using iOS and WP anyway.

Hey glad I caught this thread on time. So since you're on kitkat, you are unable to turn your device around 180 degrees. And that pretty much renders all cases useless for the typing position UNLESS you buy Samsung's pricey case that can fold without having you turn the device.
