Hey Everyone,
Just picked this up 2 weeks ago and finally getting around to using it.
I have a 32 gig microsd card and I was wondering if there was a way to move the apps/games to the SD Card to free up space on the internal memory?
Also, it seems that there is not really a big rom scene for this tablet. Anyone know of a debloated and/or google only type rom (like the default rom on the Nexus 5) for this tab?
Thank you,
Whiteice
I believe you can save your apps to ExtSDCard with NoBloat. Then you can delete them and if need to restore, do so from the ExtEDCard.

Ok, so I understand the whole 2GB's System Storage & 11.something Internal Storage that somehow make up 16GB right?
I bought a 32 GB micro SD card that is virtualy not even being used by the phone. I have enough space on the 2gb portion for all of my apps, my problem is that whenever I download an app like GTA3, Six Guns, or Modern Warfare it saves all the date files on the 11gb Internal instead of the 32GB micro SD.
This is so dumb, I have already filled the 11gb's with so much app data and I wanted to know if there is a workaround or something, maby disable the 11GB's Internal storage so that I can have 32gbs for all the data dump. Anybody had this problem???
Its very annoying right, I cant get link2sd to work either because of the way this s2 is partitioned. Depending on what ROM or version Android your running you might be able to unmount internal sd in storage options, or maybe try the data bind method thats somewhere in these forums.

Yes. It is very annoying I know how you feel.
Hi there, I got a 16GB ATT galaxy S3 and a 32G class 10 microSD card. As you know, after the ROM and other basic stuffs, the internal SD left about 10GB.
I know that we can "swap" the internal SD and external one by using "ExtSd2InternalSd", but I'm just not sure how stable that solution would be, for instance, are built-in apps come with the phone (such as camara) or any other apps gonna run flawlessly? would lag be a big issue?
so my questions are:
1. how "robust" is ExtSd2InternalSd, in terms of speed and stability? has anyone tried that?
2. let's just say if I do not use ExtSd2InternalSd for any reason, is there a way to store emails (say, MailDroid) or some of the huge apps (such as a GPS app with offline map files) in external microSD?
thanks for your patience and help! really appreciate~~
ok. Here's the deal. I'd try to do this myself but I have next to no android knowledge other than how to use the things. I was going to get a 64gb card and do the ext sd swap trick I've seen on here BUT... half my hours were cut at work and I can no longer afford to get a 64gb card. I do have a 16gb in the phone now. I was hoping a way to make the phone think that 16 was part of the internal storage so I could extend the internal storage to the sd card. Does that make sense? Is this possible at all? Could anyone make it possible? If I added up the internal with my 16 that'd be 32gb which would be a nice size. I have apps in the app store that I can't install right now because of the limited 16gb (11 usable) space on my phone. I would really appreciate any help you guys could offer me in making my 16gb card work for apps along with my internal storage. Thanks so much!
Wrong section bro :/
Next time ask in Q&A section.
As for your question, as far as I know, that isn't possible. You can either use the internal or swap and use the sd card. You cannot merge both together, though.

What you're 'asking' would be to physically the hard memory of the nand chip - its not going to happen,
Best thing you could do is install what apps you could, then use something like titanium backup and batch move other apps to the sd card. Don't move widgets or any app you use as a widget to the sd card, or you lose widget functionality.
Along with this should be posted in Q & A.

yes yes it was posted in the wrong section, I'm sorry. It was moved to q and a so it's all good i guess...
as for my question, there's no way to join the two partitions together like you could hard drives on a computer?
if not... what is this app2sd about? If I used it would I still have my icons on the homescreens for all my apps or would it be some kind of fugly method of launching the apps on my sd card?
if I replaced my internal with my 16gb sd card would that give me a little more space since android is installed on the 16gb that the phone comes with? Currently my phone says it has 11GB usable space on the storage section... soooo if I used my 16gb would that give me 16GB usable? That'd help with my memory a little bit...
and finally... if I made the 16gb my internal... would it be possible to copy movies and emulator roms to the main phone storage since i'm using sd for apps at that point, or does that just totally negate the internal storage for everything?
sorry to ask so many questions. thanks for the help in advance. sorry about posting in the wrong section.

This is a really confusing question. Have you filled up your internal storage with apps? If so you can extend larger apps to install on the sd card and they'll run normally, unless the app involves a widget. You should never move apps that have widgets over to the sd.

how do I install larger apps to the sd? Also, what would the point be of switching my sd to internal storage like that one mod floating around here if I can just use the internal and install apps to my sd as well?

Search for an app on the market called App 2 SD. There doesn't seem to be a way to do it without a 3rd party app on this phone.

ya i searched for app2sd in the marketplace and they don't work. i think there's only one floating around on the forum here that works with the s3 but i hear it's real clunky too where you don't have icons on your home screen you have to open app2sd and launch some stuff from there which is just weird i dunno. I might bite the bullet and grab a 32gb card and hope that's enough...
Hi again everyone, I want to thank all of you great and talented people who have helped me and made suggestions as to make my Note 2 a much better device. I have a problem and I need some help. I have the Note 2 on T-Mobile, and I rooted it,
How do swap my internal memory to become external memory and vice versa.? I have a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 (USA version) I live in the New York City area.
I have about 1.36 GB left of device memory. When I download a game, or a large app, it automatically goes my device memory. Problem #1: Is there any way I can tell my Note 2, or set up my Note 2 so that whenever I download a game or an app, to go automatically instead to my micro external SD 64 GB card (I have the Sandisk Class 10 card). So I have two problems one is transfer some of my 8.97 GB presently on the card, and in the future make every app or game I get to automatically to San Disk Card. when I go "My Files" on my Note 2, it lists two storage areas: the Sdcard0 and extSdCard. Also, when I plug in my Note on my computer it only shows the following: Card: 36.9 GB free of 59.4 and phone 1.25 GB free of 10.8 GB. Can anyone please help, please thanks? Thanks.

Your internal memory has a read / write speed of 25/30 mbps..... much faster than your external ( class 10 is 10-15 ish ). Why would you want to swap? Apps running from internal memory will load much much faster.
What I would do is move all of your music / camera photos / movies / etc to your external. Then change the default camera location to external, along with your browsers download folder location. Thats what I do. I have hundreds of apps installed and still have over 6gb free internal space.
Also, swapping it means you cant unmount it ever..... or swap cards around while the system is using it. You will get FC out the wazoo from apps running in the background looking for the card.
For large 1gb plus apps, there is an apps to sd program you can use. Fixes all those nasty storage issues.

Actually, I've been running like this since the first month on a "ultra 1" class sd and it performs beautifully without ANY FCs and I haven't been able to see any performance differences. That way I don't have to do any of the dancing around the storage issues that are suggested above and elsewhere.
Hey all. I currently have a Galaxy S 3with Sprint. I am considering coming over to T-mobile with a note 3. With the GS3 apps couldnt be saved to the sd card. Devs made a work around to trick the phone into thinking the sd storage was onboard storage and the onboard storage was sd storage. Does the Note 3 not allow apps to sde either? If so has this work around been created yet or is it being worked on? Thanks!
For most there is little point since the phone has 32gb of internal storage. The application manager has the ability to move apps to the sdcard if they can be already though.
Keep in mind it only moves the App not the App Data. However there are ways to put App Data on the SD card. I use foldermount in the play store to do just that.

I'm assuming by music, you mean your Google Music cache and pinned songs? If so, FolderMount isn't designed for this (I tried once), and you instead need to root your phone, then install the Xposed framework (here on XDA in the dev thread), followed by the Music2SD module (on Google Play). It's a godsend.
((You might as well install the Wanam module while you're at it, but I rank Music2SD above it in terms of importance to me, and is the reason I found and installed Xposed in the first place a couple months ago when Google removed the unofficial external SDCard support.))
Thank me later
They also have the same mod they had for note 2 ext2intsdcard mod that mattiadj created (whenever you get your note 3 just shoot me a pm) and yes the note 3 does allow apps2sd, I have over 500+ apps installed and over 17gb+ left on internal
