Apps to SD - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I found out the note 2 doesn't support apps 2 SD and that kinda bums me out cause I filled up my 16g almost overnight.. If I flash another rom, could I then gain apps 2 SD ability? Sorry if this is a basic question but I'm always learning and I've never come across this before. Thanks!

Flashing a custom rom won't change anything expect one which integrates a specifid mod. (but outdated)
You can use other solutions and this depends on the rom you use (TW or AOSP).

You can use several solutions. One is directory Bind, this let's you move individual files to your sd card.
Another option is the memory swap mod. This basically folks your phone into using your sd card as it's storage solution.
You can flash some custom roms with this mod baked in

I'm using directory bind and it works flawlessly but folder mount might be a slightly better option as it is compatible with 4.2 and 4.3 roms while directory bind isn't

not currently possible (at least not stock, im not sure if a custom rom will allow it). google and samsung keep pointing fingers at each other as to who's fault it is, but ive heard reports of other devices with ICS having the function, so its probably samsungs fault...
Definitely Samsung's fault, spoke with a technician from Samsung....

So what is everyone using to move apps to external sd? This is driving me crazy if not pissed.. never had internal storage problems on my g2 with minimal storage... can't believe Samsung is selling these phones with no choice to put apps on your external sd card.

[Root] App2SD change external to internal.

Not sure if this has been posted yet here but this is how you make you external become your internal and have everything save to it.

I'm not sure If this slows down gaming and processing because some people are claiming it does. I have a 64gig sandisc micro sd ultra and I haven't noticed it yet.

Ok found one issue with this. When taking a picture the image won't save. When you click on gallery it just disappears, unless you took a burst shot. I don't know if this was just my device or what

Never mind I'm just dumb. Once you switch your hd you need to go to camera, settings, storage, click on it if it's greyed out, set storage to phone and it should work.

When I added my sd card, I went to storage and switched it to the SD card and all pics I take get saved to the SD card except Burst Shot images.
When I go to the gallery, I can see all pics in one place - whether its on the SD card or Internal storage. This is how its supposed to work.
Yea but I made it so my sdcard reads as my internal so anything that is saved even apps goes to my 64gb instead of 16gb internal. So things run a little different

I just used Titanium Backup to move the apps I wanted moved. I tried the Apps2SD app in the market but it wouldnt move some apps
This is not apps2sd app this actually makes your external storage your main storage.

Guys if you want to revert changes, do you just copy the folders and files back to the main card and not run the script any more at boot? (of course, just whatever fits in 16Gb that is)
Or will I have to flash a ROM again just to make sure things are not messed up?
i activated the script and just tried installing a game from google play.. it still went to my internal card, not the external card.
Didnt work for me either. I can open all aps. I was expecting then to crash since the sdcard was empty. Darn it I want this to work

You don't have to flash a Rom for this just follow the directions by going into the app you downloaded open the script and turn on su and boot and save to turn it on. To turn it off turn su and boot off and save. Each time power off your device completely to reset changes.

Works for me

Remember it should say your external is now your internal. So if it's going to the new internal that's good

when i run it, it says: mounting X failed: no such file or directory
You're rooted correct?
If so make sure you download script manager, download the apps2sd script, open in script manager, turn on su and boot, save, power off device and turn it back on.

That is what I am doing. The internal is still 16Gb sadly.
I am running CleanRom with Perseus kernel btw
My apps switched when I changed it and I had to download patches when entering the app again. Also lost my sounds/have to change them. I'm running multi Window mod.
Not sure what's happening on your end. If you go to the link you can post on the topic or email the moderator, he's usually pretty helpful.

[Q] Apps to sd on the T-mo S3, possible?

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.

Internal memory & SD card memory swap

Since the 4.3 update I was wondering if anybody out there know if us note 2 owners can trick the phone into thinking the SD card is the internal memory. I know it use to be done on 4.1.2 jellybean

Its probably better to use foldermount from the play store. It works with every rom and kernal I've used without a problem. The memory swap is great but it may never happen on updated roms now.

WOuld External to Internal App work?

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.
err on the side of kindness
