[Q] Move Apps to SD Card

I am running the T-Mobile Galaxy S III CM10 Nightly, I have the 16GB version with a 16GB SD Card. I for some reason don’t have the option to move apps to my SD Card? I tried a 3ed party app to do this but get an error saying I’m out of space but the SD card is blank?
I tried a few different SD Card with no luck? My file manager can see the SD Card and its content? I tried running a fix permissions but still no luck?

You can't move apps to your Sdcard. Samsung is to blame for this.

I was just giving you crap,

I would love for someone who knows more about this topic to actually reply with some details. But to offer my limited understanding, I have read of two options to move apps/data to ext SD:
Directory Bind, which you can read more about here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889550.
and
Link2SD, which you can read more about here, specifically with respect to the S3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33831712&postcount=3379
I do not know how well these options truly work, as I am still investigating it for myself, but hopefully this will help. Of course, again, I would love for someone with more knowledge of this - specifically with respect to the S3 - to post here and offer some help.

Would you mind telling me how you partitioned your SD card? did you do something like in this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726014&page=2. If so, and it works, that would be great... I did not know titanium backup had this feature. Thanks!

I didn't partition the sd. Didn't know I was supposed to. I'm not sure what that does or what the benefit is. I'm very much the noob when it comes to that. Sorry for not having a good answer for you.

While it seems this thread is somewhat dead, I thought I would post my findings on this topic. Using Directory Bind, following the setup in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889550 works great - I have moved several games to my sd card without any problems. You can download Directory Bind here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262. I installed version 0.2.0o. I hope this helps.

This is great, was just going to post that link Sorry to bump a dead thread, but I wanted to pass along something else useful. There is also this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849860 Where you flash a script and use a script manager app to to edit the init.d file to allow sd card mount on boot, essentially making the phone think that the external card is the internal storage.

[Q] My Rom is Telling me I'm phone is almost full but...

When I look from the perspective my computer I can;t identify where I have fill all 15 GB from?
Could this be a possible error from the Rom its self or is it hidden files that wouldn't be seen by my computer that is causing these kinds of issues?
I have also tried switching to have most my app and information stored on the SD card but nothing seem to be working.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Do you take a lot of pictures and/or video? If you're using a TouchWiz-based ROM, then you can tell the camera app to use the external storage (SD card) instead of local storage.
You can move them over with any file manager app.
Otherwise, I'm not sure. It's possible you have some games installed that simply can't be moved to SD, but that's pretty rare now days.

Nope
I don't really take any pictures nor do I store anything on my phone really.
Here are the screenshots I took of my memory usage.
My SD card is more Full than the internal memory.
I had tried doing a factory reset which did lower the totally memory usage but still had the system memory issue.

Thanks for this suggestion but I tried to down load it and my phone said I didn't have enough storage despite the storage information I had previously posted.

I would go for a fresh, clean install. Backup, wipe all and reflash.

Agreed but I don't know 100% what to do about it.
I have done a wipe but it seems like its always still full which doesn't make sense.
I looked into storage after I installed a 4.2 rom and it said I have 4.2GB from CWM but then I can't find the files to back that up when I look from the computer side.
Any Ideas?

How many nandroid backups have you made?
I'm thinking you got a few you could get rid of.

Lost.dir is for a repair recovery thingy for Mac I think. So basically, you can delete it's content if it's not something you wish to recover.

Are you using any kind of apps like : App 2 SD ? If you do, that means you moved apps to external storage, move the apps back to internal storage.

I understand, maybe it's time to flash the ROM again, since you have root, and since all the apps uninstall themselves you have nothing to lose. Try it.

[Q] can't write to the external sd card (Aosp)

I don't know what the prob is but I was able to write to my sd card this happened like a week ago I was on a 4.4.2 two rom and had no issues with it then I went to an aosp room still no issues then I flashed another aosp rom and that's when I noticed the problem I can read the sd card I can even copy stuff from my external sd card to my internal one no prob but when I try to copy something from my internal to external I get an error message saying read only file system I tried those sdfix apps I tried a couple of them and they all say I'm good I have permissions to write on the sd card but I still can't. Has anyone had this prob or can point me in the right direction any help will be appreciated.

You could also try formatting the SD card, or try a different one if you have a spare

External SD card issue.

I have an external sd card. It needs the fix for kitkat. But can not use the fixes in the market they all need root. How are you guys dealing with this issue.

You just have to deal with it until root is achieved, there is not way that I'm aware of to fix the KitKat SD card changes without root.

I don't get why we have to wait for root. If the phone supports 64gb sd card out the box why is this an issue. People that don't have xda experience will be thinking something is defective. Correct me if I am wrong.

Yea it's truly starting to get annoying. Another thing I noticed is we have no cast to screen ability with chromecast.

Yes I noticed that also. You shouldn't need root to fix that issue. Most people don't root there phones.

Use the stock My Files until root is available to copy files from the phone to the external SD card...

YOU sir are a genius! Thank you, more so than root I needed a way to move local backups to the SD Card and could not find a way, but using the Stock app "My Files" worked fine...thank you!
