Manage Applications -> On SD Card [Leaked 2.2]

I've been able to successfully so far move 'Barcode Scanner' & 'Titanium Backup' to "run" from my sd card. Certain apps fail when trying to move them to the sd card; it almost looks as if currently there is a size limitation - can only move apps under 1mb.
My question is, where exactly are these apps being stored on the sd card? I've searched '/mnt/sdcard' and haven't came up with anything.

I noticed this too.. I had about 3 apps that were all over 1mb that failed when trying to move them to the SD card... is this just a feature that isn't fully supported yet maybe?

[Q] How do I move apps to the external MicroSD card?

I'm a bit confused here. I'm running Juggernaut 4.1.
Titanium Backup shows:
System ROM 615 MB
Internal:2.11 GB
SD card: 12.0 GB
Ext. SD card 32.0 GB
How do I move apps to the Ext. SD card.
If I use 'Move to SD card' it moves the app to the 'internal SD card' (12 GB )
not the Ext. SD card (32 GB card)
Is there a way for me to run apps from the ext micro sd card?

Yes there is, you need to use Link2SD. You will have to use a computer to partition your external microSD card and then Link2SD can create a mount script for you.

(cant posts links yet :/ so decipher that for a good guide)
Word of caution, people have said that using Link2SD, everytime you wipe then flash a new rom, after you use Link2SD to create the mount script again, your apps will still be there and pop back up after a reboot, thus no need to backup apps like normal. This NEVER worked for me, I always use Titanium to backup ALL of my apps, flash a new rom, use Link2SD to format the partition for apps, reinstall them with titanium, then re-link them.
Good luck Its a great program.

SD Card

I can see my 64g sd card and I can transfer files from it to my phone's internal memory and vice versa but when I download a file or back up my apps with titanium backup or back up my Rom it goes to my internal hard drive. I have rom manager and titanium back up set up for my sd card but it still goes to the internal memory.
Because of this my phone memory fills up and I get a message saying I'm running out out memory. I have a Samsung 64g sd card and its fat 32 formatted. Does any one know how I can fix this?

For Titanium Backup - go to preferences and make sure your backup directory is /storage/extSdCard/{whatever_directory_you want}
For Downloaded files - make sure whatever browser you use downloads by default to a folder within /storage/extSdCard/
Remember, /sdcard/ and /storage/sdcard0/ are both pointing to internal memory, NOT the memory card slot.

I have titanium backup set up to save to ExSd card, rom manager is set up to save to external memory but they both still save to the phone's internal memory. I use Google chrome and I went to setting but I don't see where it gives an option where to download to.
I also have k9 mail and I have it also set for sd card but it also saves to the phone memory. I guess what I'm saying is that it saves to the phone memory by default, what am I doing wrong

Yes you can flash from internal sd card. Same procedure as if flashing from ext sd card.

Hi there. You would in cwm touch choose install zip from internal instead of install zip from external sd card option. Cwm touch is pretty straight forward. Follow the choices. Also make sure you do your nandroid backup before flashing anything. You would want to save that backup to your external sd card when you get it to save device memory. A few backups on internal storage will eat up ALL your internal storage space on the phone so sd card is important to have. If your using cwm you MUST in settings specify for backups to go to EXTERNAL sd card other wise by default they go to internal storage.word of warning this will quickly use all your device storage so make certain once you get your sd to fix the settings so it will go by default to EXTERNAL sd card rather than internal device storage. Hope this helps you out. Best wishes

SD card issues with Titanium Backup

Having SD card issues with certain apps, specifically titanium backup and astro file manager. When I try to bakup with titanium backup to the sd card, I get this message: "Batch Backup interrupted: Insufficient free storage space". When I try to copy something to my sd card with astro I get the message: "Device missing label Due to a bug in Android to be able to write to an SD card or usb the device must have a label. . . ."
I am able to backup with TiB using internal storage, and able to copy things to the sd card with the stock file manager.
I have tried unchecking the "mount namespace separation" option in supersu and did not work. I also added made sure to name the card on my laptop, as suggested by the Astro help message. Neither worked.
It has been the same on two g4s, with two different sd cards, one formated exfat and one fat32.
Is anyone able to use an sd card to backup TiB?
Using internal storage now but would rather use sd card because of the size of the backup.
Device is VS986, if that makes a difference.

smth similar here - TB prob - even though I have some 15GB free on SD (64GB SDXC) i'm unable to backup to microSD ( insufficient disk space) , after backing up to internal storage I'm able to copy backup to microSD (Genisys 3.7, xPosed 79, SuperSU 2.67, TB - latest)
