There must be an option to move the app to your external storage in settings-->apps

There are only options for phone and internal storage which I've filled already

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

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.

Hi guys.
Ive been using my xperia play for a month now. Everything was good at first till it started lagging.
This might be due to the internal memory being low though.
Any ideas how I can move apps to sd thru a2sd?
A2sd requested scripts which I have no idea on where to get it. Can someone provide me a tutorial. Im really a noob and have seen the vid
Thanks in advance

you dont need any script
Download Apps to Sd free from market and transfer your apps from phone memory to Sd card ............
Thanks, but was looking for a force move. Used titanium

My space is slowly disappearing and I would like to move my apps to my ext. sd card. I'm rooted currently running the awesome 1.40 Paranoid Kang rom and have a 16 gb sd card. I've searched but haven't been successful in finding anything. Is this possible to do and if so could someone get me headed in the right direction? Thanks in advance for any help.
Try downloading ROM toolbox I think you can do it with the app

Thanks. I just got the app but am unclear on how to do it. Do you know how? Thanks.

Sorry rom toolbox will only work if you install new apps scroll down and you should see app to SD and hit external and all new apps should install there.
try titanium backup hit the check mark at the top right and scroll down you should see move apps to SD card

Does rom tool box allow game data to transfer as well? If not and you're a heavy gamer, you can use Directory Bind to have game data to your external while binding it to the game in the internal. I'm saving well over 10gb off my internal by doing this.

I rooted my s4 but I have no clue how to move anything to the micro sd card its 32 gigs class 4 I bought music from the playstore and some apps and just want to move it to the sd. This is my first android I had ipod/iphones before this
Welcome to Android
First off, congrats on the switch to Android. I personally believe you won't want to go back to iPhone. With that said, I don't have my S4 yet, but if it's anything like other Androids, you can use a file app (I use Astro) and move any files back and forward as you see fit. You can also mount the phone to a PC and move it that way or put the SD card itself in the PC. If your filling up the whole 32GB or a lot of data, the fastest would probly be mounting the SD card itself into the PC.
Hope this helps, but then again.... I'm still waiting for the S4 to release in my area.
I found a way to move the music to sd card just not apps I think they made it harder to move because no apps I download do it but ill try astro. Ipod/iphone jailbreaking is simpler lol.

Not if you plan to install games.
I have a 32gb iPhone 5 and have at least 17gbs in games alone.
I'm also looking for a way to install apps on the SD card.
I haven't open my GS4 yet so I can return it incase we can't.
600+ for a 9GB is a not good.
@@@use " link2sd " application...download from play store...its not only let u too move apps to sd...and u can also uninstall unwanted system apps if u [email protected]@@
I would really like to free up some space on my internal SD. I bought a 64GB SD card , and am using FolderMount to try and move the apps, but to no avail. Anyone figure this out yet? I am rooted running Infamous S4, and have removed all of the bloatware possible. Still really low an memory.
I use the stock file manager to move apps, i had this same problem with storage. Do you have more than one backup saved on your internal sd?

Like I stated in the original post, I am using FolderMount. The problem is the folders where the games should be are empty when I look for them. That is the ones I can find. Its like they don't really exist. I went into my data folder, did find one game, Zynga Poker, and tried to move it, pinned it, and it did absolutely nothing.
Your not moving the whole folder then. Your doing something wrong. Watch a couple YouTube videos on how to. Navigate to SD card, android, data or obb and select one of your games inside either of those two folders

Im running Goodness Noteworthy 1.06 with Perseus kernel on my Sprint Note 2. I've looked online and from what I understand there is no way to move apps to the sdcard after the jellybean update. I'm really just needing the additional files the apps download like the 1+gb that you have to download for Need For Speed or N.O.V.A. moved to my external 16gb micro sdcard so my internal memory isn't so low. Ive tried the app Folder Mount from the play store and it didn't seem to work. Has anyone found a way to get the files to the sdcard and the game still be able to read them? Thanks!

folder mount worked perfectly for me. i had about 12gb worth of game data from gameloft and ea (incl nfs most wanted and realracing 3) moved to the sd card with this app and the games played perfectly. at the moment im having issues with my sdcard writing anymore and im hoping that doing this folder mount, it didnt mess my card up. the games have been working for a couple months now. i know this isnt much help but i thought i'd share my experience.

good luck man. here is the thread by the dev incase you havent read some faq's yet. it really did work well for me when i used it

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.
