How can I tell which apps can be moved to sdcard without issues. If you use a widget for a certain app you have to leave it on the phone's memory right? I am using CM7 and I was wondering since it allows you to move all apps or should I uncheck move all apps and then the ones that you are allowed to move will they still have that option? Thanks Again!
Right, apps have to be in phone memory for you to use their widget. I use App2SD (there is a free version) to keep track of what can be moved, is on phone memory, and is on SD.
i was using app2sd up till 3 days ago.
just bought Titanium Backup and i swear i saw somewhere in a batchsomething(?)...
found out i can move more than app2sd would let me do.
cant remember where i saw it @?????
Titanium is good for moving apps to SD too. Hit Menu, then Batch, scroll down to "Move/Integrate". It will let you batch move apps to SD or back to internal. If you have the Pro version it will batch all of them. Even the paid version of App2SD makes you select "Move to SD" for every app.
But, for moving one or two apps back and forth I still prefer App2SD. As soon as you launch it, it shows what apps are internal and external.
Now my next question is...
Are there any certain apps u would leave on on the phone?
I.E. stability issues?
Not dissing on app2sd, it has been a loyal soldier;
why has titanium allowed me to move more apps?
Been considering tasker next.

just how it was programmed. to be able to move any and everything i am guessing. i tried App2sd and it didnt move all the things i needed it to like Titan did.
You don't want to move launchers or anything your phone needs when it boots. I'd say any system app that you shouldn't remove shouldn't be moved to the SD card, since your phone will fail without it.

Leave any system app, on the phone. The only user apps that "need" to be on the sdcard are widgets, or anything that may need to read the phone state, like an alarm clock app/widget.
Is there a way? I've tried Link2SD, Apps2SD and Titanium Backup and nothing works. I have games like Most Wanted and Modern Combat and take up 3GB already.

This has been asked a lot of times, so people won't rush to answer your question. I feel your frustration, however. Most people will suggest you just root as the be all to end all. But some people don't want to do that or don't really have the know how. At any rate, another argument is the internal memory is more than enough. Yeah, for people who just play basic games on their phones, and nothing more. For me... I am literally down to about 400MB of internal memory. I have REAL games installed on my phone, that take up GBs of memory, not mere MBs. I, too, have Need For Speed Most Wanted, in addition to GTA III, Asphalt 7, and a few other games that all take up over 1 gig of memory. I bought this 64GB memory, thinking I wasn't going to have anything to worry about, only to find out Samsung found another way to screw us over. It's like AT&T and Samsung have been working hand-in-hand to find ways to limit us. My card is basically useless. I use it for all the movies, songs, and TV programs I have... but I mostly got it for storing my apps.

I see, I appreciate you replying. Sorry for this thread but I do have one more question, about Titanium Backup. I want to make my micro sd the backup location but it isn't letting me. I'm copying the backups via My Files from internal to external. Will it work if I delete the original?

Again, sorry I can't be of more help. I haven't used Titanium Backup since around 2010 or so. I haven't rooted a phone since. I don't remember much about how the apps functions. Don't give up. People will respond to you, they just won't be too quick.

I don't know any way to get around this stuff without rooting... I'm using Directory Bind to move gameloft and EA games along with the cloudcache from the dropbox app. I couldn't get much of anything else running the way I wanted...
I move lots of big files to sd using directory bind. It has been working good for me.

I know you can copy the backup file to your ex. SD card. You might get an error "checksum missmatch" when you restore it from the phone recovery. I know it will work when you flash it with oden. When you make the recovery. It stores it as a xxxxxx.md5: xxxxx.tar :xxxxximg files
Personally. I would copy the original file to your computer incase you need to restore it later via Odin.

Swap memory cards
I found this script that turns your extSD card into your internal and vice versa. The script can be set to run on boot and so far for me it seems to be working with no apparent problems!
I'd post my screen shot and link to the video but rules about new members wont allow me.
youtube.com/watch?v=QUF7R0mmk00
seems a lot of people have errors that come up after a while about the scripting method
Ya, I heard about people having issues but so far I haven't had many. .. other than using ROM toolbox to run the script at boot because s manager would not run it at boot and you would have to run manually, which wasn't bad but I like not to have to think about it. Also, I haven't gotten close to filling up the 16gb which is also where I guess people have issues.

I'm not an expert (nor am I affiliated in any way with the developer) and YMMV, but I've had great success using the app GL to SD (available in the Play Store) to move game files onto the external SD card. To name just a few I have NOVA 3, Jet Set Radio, NFS Most Wanted, GTA Vice City, FIFA 12 on my Note 2 (16GB) and my internal storage sits at 2.68GB's. Before I rooted my phone with all the apps I had I didn't have room for the games I wanted, but now I have all the apps I want and space to spare.

Yes
This works - thanks dude! Finds all internal sd data and move to external sd. But you have to ensure the correct folder paths are set first and then use the menu options. Transfers one game at a time (even though it seems allow you to select multiple at one - tick only one each time). Also free on google play store

Aw nuts. I got my hopes up. It's only for GameLoft games (hence the GL I guess). I was hoping to move TTS and GPS offline maps and such.

Nope - if u go to settings and move to sd it will show data that can be moved - most are game data though. (also allowed me to move google earth and ebooks to sd too)
It says it's only for Gameloft games but to me it "seems" to move data from other games and programs as well. If one of the more expert members of the board could try out the program and say what's actually happening that would be great. Because based on what I can see the program does more than just address data from Gameloft games.

Hello guys,
I was wondering if anyone has used app2sd or any others to convert your apps in your internal to external memory
when i tried using app2sd it will put it on my external yes but as soon as i run an application like a game it will re download it and put it onto my internal. Anyone else having this issue?
there is another solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2109112
This solution works to swap internal with external but for 64G SD cards people are having issues so I am re framing from doing this method.
don't bother with this; there is so much room in your internal memory, that its a waste of time and effort..you will never fill up your internal app space.
I have 300 apps installed, and still have almost 7 gigs free...

That's not entirely true. Some people play various games which seemingly chew through storage space for all the media bits and pieces. Look through some of the directory bind threads for examples.

I totally agree. With my 16gb GN2 I find myself low on internal storage all the time. Yes you can install literally 100's of smaller apps but games such as NFS: Most Wanted, Nova 3, Spider Man and many others nearing 2 gigs each or more, it's hard to have more than a few games installed before having to un install just to try out a new game that you're interested in. If you find a good work-around let me know. I've found that App Mgr III doesn't work with our devices (and many others) and my ROM Toolbox Pro only gives you the option to install all apps to either your internal or external without the option to pick and choose which goes where on an app to app basis.

So you need to select each app separately then? Is there no way to do a batch select at all?
I'll read up on it more.
There is no way to do a batch selection. If you wanted you could select the folder before the game and that would be like doing it via a batch selection.
For example:
Let's say Shadowgun was saved in Android/Data/com.shadowgun/ (again this is not the exact location)
Instead of binding that location you could bind Android/Data/ instead. If you do that you will capture EVERYTHING in that directory now and anything that gets installed there in the future.
The downside of doing it that way is if an app wants to install into that location it will always force it to the sd card which is slower than internal memory. So Games like Asphalt 7 and Nova 3 take longer to load on sd card. So that is why I did one directory (game) at a time so I can choose which games are on the sd while others are on the internal. All games worked though via directory bind that I have tried.
Hope that helps.

Thanks, so perhaps this method is not the best scenario for me as I am looking to have all my Apps and data plus music, videos etc out of internal storage on to sd card. Using this method if you update an app I assume it would go to internal and you would need t do the process for that app over again?
I guess I am wanting a seamless way of just swapping internal-external. The script I am using seems to work very well but I am concerned when I go to a 64GB card. I'll keep watching the posts in the _ext2sdcardnote2internal thread.

Actually when you do app updates it updates the info on the extsdcard and not internal.
So what happens is the software tricks the Os into thinking the data is on the internal card when it really is on the ext card. So everything happens automatically. You do not need to move the info every time there is an update.
I would suggest doing a small app and playing with it before you jump in all the way. Use Deadtrigger for an example, it won't take to long to transfer the data.

Thanks again. I am keeping an eye on the extsdcard2internalsdnote2 thread as well re: 64GB cards. The App2SDnote2 script I am using works well with 32gb card but unsure about 64gb card.
I don't know, maybe it's just me, but what's the point in being able to move apps....to the internal storage, not to the external sd Card?
Am I missing something here? I though I could really move apps to the external sd Card. If you install few games like Nfsmw, fifa14, asphalt 8 and rr3 you've already occupied 8gb of the 12gb available to the user into my new Note 10.1 2014 LTE 16gb!!!!!
I do hope I'm missing some hidden settings, otherwise what is it for the option "move to sd card" into the app settings?!
Thanks in advance

How I'd love to say "hey you are right", but you are not.
Did you really try? Did you go looking for the stuff you moved into the external sd card (/storage/extSdCard/) instead of the internal storage (/storage/emulated/0/)?
I tried even on my galaxy note 3 to see if there's any difference and sadly there isn't. Same behaviour. Although on the note 3 is not such a problem cause I have 32gb for internal storage.
This is really a Shame! I don't want to be forced to root my device to solve such a issue.

that's true, if you remove the sdcard you cannot start the applications you moved anymore. And this makes me even more angry about it.
There's no reason for such a behaviour as no files was moved to external sdcard in any visible nor hidden directory. In fact there's even no change in terms of available storage space after moving apps.
Try to perform a search into your external sd card and tell me if you can find Them! :/

That dir is not the external sd card! Moreover there are only the app files and not the data files which are the heaviest ones in term of reserved space.
Try installing a big game like Asphalt 8 which uses 1.56GB of storage. Then look at the available space into the internal storage and the external sdcard. Try then moving it to sdcard and then look whether you have 1.56GB available space more than before, while at the same time you have 1.56gb less into the external sdcard.

I think that path is linked to the extsd card, and data like asphalt 8 data isn't movable by samsung's method cause the data wasn't downloaded through the play store, it was downloaded by the app. So the only way to move that is with root and something like foldermount
Also heres a quick link i found with some information on the asec folder. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13043783/android-move-app-to-sd

Interesting link. Unlucky me my adb setup is messed up, then I cannot check the mount point for /mnt/asec.
Anyway, Asphalt8 is entirely downloaded form the playstore. Just give a look to its size into the PlayStore description. :/

It works well for the games i play like kingdom rush, plants vs zombies 2, dead trigger 2 and some others, it's saved me about 700mb. Actually now I remember how i saw those files before, if you pull the sd card out and put it in a computer, you'll see the asec folder there so i'm 100% sure its on the external sd card.

That's right. The /mnt/asec is the mount point for the .android_secure into the external sdcard. But games like pvz2 and dead trigger 2 keep only application files and lib there. No data files. Then you won't save more than 25mb each! :/
Still remains a pretty useless feature. What a pity!

Sort of, yes. But probably not 2 gigs worth. Its not exactly a noob friendly process though. Are you familiar with bootloaders, root access, and proper permissions? You should probably research those thing before getting involved with this.
Anyway, the process im suggesting is to remove (delete from /system/priv-app or /system/app) any system apps you dont use. Play Books, Sheets, Slides, Android Pay, whatever you dont use. Then you would move a few of your downloaded apps to /system/app thus freeing up space for newly downloaded apps. You could also nuke built in ringtones, notification tones, built in wallpapers, and re-purpose that space for downloaded apps again by moving them to /system/app.
I suppose you could delete those apps and useless media files and re-partition but you could really screw things up if you dont do it right.
I'll try to do it....

Then you would move a few of your downloaded apps to /system/app thus freeing up space for newly downloaded apps. You could also nuke built in ringtones, notification tones, built in wallpapers, and re-purpose that space for downloaded apps again by moving them to /system/app.
I suppose you could delete those apps and useless media files and re-partition but you could really screw things up if you dont do it right.

It's not Google's fault you bought a device with only 10 GB of usable storage.
