[Q] Does Apps 2 SD work with Note II?

I am trying to install the apps that I like and used to use frequently. My Note I was full and wouldnt let me install more at some point, so I love this app. It installed well to Note II but I received a message on the screen saying that the format or something of the SD card was not compatible or what? Is there anyone using that app? Could you tell me is it Note II or Jellybean?

The exact message: The device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary external storage is emulated. Since some other Note II owner also complained about the same issue in Google Play Store, it seems it is related to Note II.

You can use Link2SD if you have root and know how to make a second partition formated as ext4.

I used this to partition the sd card: http://download.cnet.com/MiniTool-Partition-Wizard-Home-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html

Try the app Directory bind that should do the trick

There is a guide for Directory Bind here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889550
I have not tried that one, but I need something like that...

how to move apk onto sd

Hi everybody,,
I want to know how to move apk & data files onto external sd. when i moved apk via settings or with the help of app2sd or force2sd, that apk & data files weren't actually moved onto external sd.
Can it possibly apk & data files be moved onto external sd in P6?
And then, when I used gl2sd apk, it can't mount.
Is it not compatitble with P6 ???
Thanks in advance!!!

Probably have to root it, get a root explorer and move it that way

I already rooted it. I can move any folder that I want onto ext sd.
but I want to move apk & its data folder onto ext sd.
For example, viber apk. when i moved viber, it move onto ext sd but its data folder remains in internal one.
even if i moved that folder by root explorer or something like this, viber can't run normally.
how can I do it? or Can't it move onto external sd like Samsung S3, NoteII ???
btw, any1 can use GL2SD apk in P6??? if can, pls let me explain how to do it.
as for me, it can't mount (
Thanks anyway JackHanAnLG

Not sure you can move the dats onto the SD card as the phone needs to read it all the time

correct answer!

why dont option default storage external sd card to setting? only sd card data obb apk install..interesting..no space left on the memory.

Thanks all for your kindly answers.
But I just want to know how come you moved apk onto sd card via setting.
When I moved onto external sdcard, the phone showed that that apk is moved onto external sdcard but it didn't actually moved.
Cuz no filed associated with that apk cannot be found in the external sd.
So i finally concluded that it is because of Huawei P6 and I suggest everyone not to buy this phone if you want to play HD games.
however, if you want to use just surfing & normal phone usage, that P6 is cool.
Thanks to all.

Mind to share the more details how to get that?

I have tried several methods.
First I tried to install de 116 chinese rom, where you can choose the default method as sd, but this doesn't work, it only installs in the sd the apks you are able to move in our version.
Then I tried link2sd, doesn't work, you have to do the partition tree externally and after that it says our phone is not supported.
Finally I tried to change the default location with adb tool, I think this has worked but there are some problems installing apps like swiftkey in the sd, they are not working well so you have to move to the phone, by now this is the best solution.
Anyway, I wanted to install google play music so I can keep the music in the phone but you cant delete it from the internal memory so my method doesnt work either...

[Q] move app+data to external 64g card

Hello,
My device sm p605 rooted by de la vega root method.
I m looking for a method to move my app+data on my external sd card. I tried many methods but no one is working with my device.
I tried:
- link2sd partioning external sd card into 1st partition fat32 + 2nd in ext2: It generates a script with shortcut linking but after reboot when I launch linked app It collapses with message of incompatible device blablabla.
- mount folder: doesnt work and not free
- Directory bind doesn t work?
So if someone succeeded in moving app + data on external card, It would be very helpfull he explain the good method. Thank you.

FolderMount works for me.

Try settings -> General -> Application manager -> (swipe left) SD CARD -> Checkbox any app you with to move.
If it is check marked, it should now on the SD card instead. I know for fact this moves the app itself, but haven't tested to see if it moves the data too. This is the native App2SD introduced in 4.3, hope that helps.

That only moves the app & data to the /sdcard/ partition, which is on internal memory, not on the actual microSD card, which is mounted as /extSDcard/.
Folder Mount works great and is free. I haven't tried to move the APK's folder with it, as I'm pretty sure that would break stuff badly (boot-loops when apps try to launch during startup), but the APK's are usually not that big and you can have tons of apps installed on even the S4 16GB which only gives you 9GB to start with (I have something like 30GB of apps installed on mine). The majority of the data used by apps lives in /android/data/obb/ and /android/data/data/ which you can move. I have ran into boot-loops moving some folders because an app (especially GameLoft ones) try to launch on boot but they launch before FolderMount has a chance to mount folders, so they crash the OS and send you into a boot-loop until you remove the SD card. That's on my Note 10.1 (2014). On my Galaxy S4, I don't have any boot-loops and I'm redirecting more than I am on my Note. You can stop apps from starting on boot using Gemini App Manager or Autorun Manager (can only control up to 10 apps with free version), so that's a good solution for the boot-loop. Not sure why so many folders cause boot-loops on my Note when they don't on my S4, but whatever. Maybe the S4 mounts the SD card and the FolderMounts faster, or it has something to do with the JellyBean's ROM on the S4.
Anyway, use Folder Mount. I don't know of any other valid solutions.

If you have Xposed Framework installed, Boot Manager is the best autorun manager. Simple and to the point.

xperia m app2sd problem

hello,i own an experia m c1905 4.3 rooted...the problem is that link2sd or app2sd do not work(it shows that there is not an sd card or my phone does not support it or the sd card is emulated)so is this a problem of the firmware?would it work in 4.1.1?or is a problem of my phone?could anyone help me with this?thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english....!!!!!

Bro xperia m doesn't support moving apps to external sd but you can use link2sd to link your apps to external sd instead of moving, linking will move all the data of the app to external sd, making space on internal sd but you have to make a partition on your external SD if you want to use link2sd using mini partition tool.
So download mini partition tool on your pc, connect your external sd through phone or card reader and make a fat32 partition of 2gb or however you like and then you will be able to use link2sd.

Bro app2sd won't work on any android version in Xperia M but you can use Link2Sd for linking apps to external sd and here is the tutorial link to partition your SD and use link2sd (look at the 4th point) - http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/
And no matter you have locked or unlocked bootloader , you can't transfer apps to sd .... you can only link them.
But if you want you can swap your internal memory to external and vice-versa.

this is exactly what i did and my phone was rebooting all the time so i had to flash the rom again....i made a folder in sd card named 0 and moved all files from internal in there (cut-paste)was this the Wright way?or I have to just copy paste the files???also after the root on 4.3 can i delete thes system.ext4 file cause its too big

Instead of cut/paste try copying the files and look on the 18th page of that swapping sd card thread and follow the step by step guide by "spknair", and yeah you can delete that system.ext4 file now it will be fine.

Wrong replay by me

If you are stuck in boot loop (rebooting after Xperia logo), maybe you are not "full rooted" your handset.
you have to use 'boot fix' to get full root. search for it. test with all available bootfixes available, as I do. I couldn't share my boot fix. its for XMD
why are you still on old firmware?
In my opinion 4.3 is better.
The useful thing I had noticed that its Unicode support of fonts.

Bro, read carefully his first post, he already told that he is on 4.3 rooted , So that's the new firmware and i don't think there's any need for 'bootfix' for 4.3 root .
I think he must be doing something wrong in the swap procedure that's why he is getting a bootloop and that's why i suggested him to look on your post. :good:

First of all, I am also a newbie to Android.
I had make swap my memory more than 4 times.
because I had tried to link2SD work with this.
1. download busybox & root explorer from store & install it
2. download zip file & APK file from OP
3. install intd.apk. open it. tap on 'activate' & 'verify'. Now you could get the verification.
4. make a folder named "0" (zero) 2 @ root of your memory card.
5. move all files & folders to '0' on your memory card
6. move all files & folders from internal storage to '0'
7. if you got any error message, please copy-paste all files & then delete from internal storage.
8. just extract the zip file. you will get 2 folders
9. move these to root. root is the basic location. I you press back ('parent folder' in root explorer) many times you will get to root position.
10. if you got any error message, please copy-paste all files to its respective locations. you have to mount as r/w in root explorer (option as a button)
11. then go to root-system-etc-iniit.d. folder. there will be a file named "11extsd2internalsd", right?
12.set permissions to '11extsd2internalsd' all 9 options (just ticking) from root explorer's menu. (read, write, execute)
13. Reboot.
Never connect your mobile as mass storage
use any application to stop all running processes & apps before moving (step 5)
No need of formatting & flashing (LB)
In my advice please delete .thumbnail folder from DCIM, which will accelerate your moving speed.

the problem is that when i extract the zip into init.d it nothing happens it shows just the two files that are already in the folder....(i use root file manager not root explorer because its not free)

ok i finally did it succesfully...i will write exactly what i did to help others having this problem too...
1.i downloaded this zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2681457&d=1397284566
2.i downloaded this apk from this thead http://click.xda-developers.com/api...pdated for (LB) - xda-developers&txt=this app
3.using ''root browser'' (from play store) i created a folder in sd card 1 named ''0'' (without the quotes)
4.moved all files and folders from sd card 1 to folder 0 (the one that i created in sd card 1)
5.moved all files and folders of sd card 0 in the same folder as in step 4(android folder was still there but all other folders and files were moved)
6.i opened init.d and pressed activate and then verify to see if it was succesfull
7.extracted the zip and cut 11extsd2internalsd file and paste it into system/etc/init.d(before this i set all permision ticks to the init.d folder or else could not move the file in it)the other folder named META-INF i copied it to home of the ''root browser''(i mean to the first screen you see as you open the root browser)
8.i set all permisions to 11extsd2internalsd file(9 ticks)
9.rebooted my phone
10.the swap was done succesfully!!!!
thank you all for your help and for your time!!!!!!!!!
