I can't believe I have to ask this, but I can't seem to figure it out.
How does one move apps to the SD card on a gs3, running the latest stable CM?
I'm very embarrassed about this.

Apps to SD doesn't work very well on the S3 and I do not really recommend it but this is the only way which has been confirmed to work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30624655
If it works with CM I'm not sure but you can read up on it.

I downloaded and installed the zip, then wiped chaches as usual. It made no noticeable difference on CM. Apps are still in internal storage, default install is still internal storage as well.
Oh well.

Curious if this is could already be an available mod. i just dont see the reason to have the phones "internal sd" the primary saving point on our devices when we have external card up to 64gigs. i thought it was just the LG G2x. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
I don't think if there is a way on stock to get things to store to the external storage by default but the cyanogen from I ran for a while did.

yea, i was aware of that. Eaglesblood ROM actually has that but it's not touchwiz just aosp. kind of wanted to get away from aosp is possible.
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.

It says that it's not compatible with my device, but I changed the3 build.prop back to say that I have a S3 not a Nexus, and google play let me install it. I will report back when i get to try some apps.

Good. Should work fine. I noticed a couple times it wouldn't launch asphalt 7 so I checked the setting to clear cache when launching a game and that seems to have fixed it. Let me know if there are any other issues you run into.

Yup. I found it on Amazon for 54.99 two days ago. Really solid price for a uhs class 10 64gig card.

The one I posted does more than game loft games as well. You can add any application that allows the installation of data to external cards. But whatever. Choices are good.

The vast majority don't need to be moved. But I have yet to find an app over 50 megs that I couldn't move so it's possible you are doing something wrong.

I am running cyanogen mod 10.1 and I tend to play alot of big games that requires typically >1gb and i have close to no room left in my internal storage and have like 10 gigs left on my external and I dont have a way to install them onto their. I've already tried all types of apps2sd apps and none have worked. Is their a way to put these games on my external sd?

I just have used the first method. It does work. To make sure I redid it a few minutes ago. Works perfectly. Are you on TW, CM, or AOSP ?

I'd say to use this app: FolderMount.
Great app, frequent updates, and I've used it myself and can confirm it works. Not to mention that I believe the dev made it, among other reasons, to solve this issue with huge games.
I gonna look into this. And the changing the external to internal

Hi all
I'm just wondering if there's anything in 4.4 that is NOT as good as 4.3? Any limitations or disadvantages you can think of? (I've read something to do with the external SD function...???)
Cheers in advance

--> 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.

I bet they fix that one quick.
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.
Important Change

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.

Not sure where you got that info. I'm on KitKat and turning the device works just as it did before the upgrade. I can put the power cord at the top if I need to. There's nothing I tried that doesn't work with the Note upside down.

Really? It might just be my custom ROM then. Well I'm currently experiencing that problem with Kat1.0 kitkat ROM for the SMP600. Is anyone else using that ROM encounter this problem? Is there an xposed hack for this?

Is My Files app affected by the SD card restrictions? I assume only 3rd party apps in the play store are affected.

No, the my files app has full permissions. So you can still say download things and then just move them over from internal to external.

Hey guys, I need some help in doing the swap from Internal to External so that way I can install more apps. I was looking around I found External to Internal app, will it work fine on 4.3 ? And are there are other work around for 4.3 OS. I found guides but they are for 4.2.2 and below. Haven't been able to find one for 4.3 Not sure if they patched or the process it still same.
Many apps can be moved using the app management in Settings now. Have you tried that yet?

Yeah instead it just moves it to a different folder in phone storage. I think 4.3 killed sD cards.
I'm not really sure then. Though I'm pretty sure that ought to move them to the external card. Ive rarely had to use it, but I recall doing so always did for me.

for me , with ESfile explorer with root privileges i am able to move files/items back and forth quite easily. dont know if that would help your exact issue though.
