I moved my apps to my SD card to free up space on the phone. All the icons for the apps I moved are now greyed out with a sd card next to them. Is there a quick fix to restore them without moving the apps back?
Any ideas?

Can you see the moved apps in the app drawer? Could it be as simple as deleting the shortcut icon and then putting the new shortcut icon back from the app drawer?

Haven't tried that. If that works I'll definitely be clicking the thanks since it never crossed my mind to try it.

Would there be a way to organize apps in different folders for example: spare parts, titanium backup, etc.... in a folder called ROOT. So you could be able to open the app drawer and see folders instead of a bunch of clutter and in each folder would open like another app drawer. Thanks in advance

FolderOrganizer in the market. Also allows for custom icons.

another free option is app organizer. I think it is a little better then the free version of folder organizer but the paid folder organizer is by far the best.
Titanium backup has the capability to move apps to the SD card that normally won't go. I wanted to check everyone's success or failure on moving these stubborn or poorly written apps. Apps appear to move to sd card but do not work properly and others go just fine. Can we start a list? I will try to maintain it here. Thanks.

Thanks to lilajrestnom and TexasEpic4G for their contributions.
This is a great idea. This is most helpful. It would also be good to know what applications can be restored without causing a bunch of FCs. This is the reason I don't like saving applications to my SD card.

Apps2sd only moves the apps that r able to b moved on the sd card but titanium moves any app u choose..
I haven't ever tried it tho too scared to lol
I move most of my games to sd card using titanium the main ones I don't put are widgets, launcher, lock screen apps, handcent and text message apps, mainly system type apps I don't move but all others go over and work fine

Kenny, you're not getting any examples. I'll try some of mine and let you know. One question; where in Titanium is the option to move apks to the SD card? I have the paid version and don't see it.

You can either go to batch and there will b a "move/integrate" section that allows u to choose what files to move on sd card
Or jut go to the normal "backup/restore" hold an app until the big menu pops up and near the bottom it says "move to sd"
Just a qestion... what does it really help with to move the apps to sd card? Just memory?

The phone has very limited storage...just 512MB and OS takes up almost 300MB of that. For people that are appaholics they need to store them on the SD card.

Ya I knew it was basically for memory and that helps the phone process better.. correct..?
Ill try and move some apps now and see what I can and still works
So I found out that some apps will not allow you to move them to the sd card or convert them to user app
But the xda app moved to sd card well and its working normally
I don't really use millions of apps so I don't have many to choose to move lol most of my apps r already made to be allowed to be saved on sd card but if I try more ill let you know
And I'm guessing apps like set cpu and screen filter will not work if there on the sd card..?

Just tried HBO GO, it moved successfully and works.
And Groupon, Iheart Radio and Qik work as well.
OP edited with more apps able to be moved.

CLZ Comics worked !
So I just moved all my apps to the sd card (30 apps) and all of them seem to still b working perfectly except any widgets
From the 30 there is setcpu, voodoo sound, screen filter, youtube, dolphin browser hd (and the blue addon theme), poweramp, xda, titanium, root explorer, handcent sms (and the darkness theme), androzip, andy86, dual file manager, cpu spy, and tubemate.
I hope this helps.

Thank you. Added you list to the OP.
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 1 and a serious problem along with it. My app automatically ported from my phone memory to sd card. While porting sometimes it becomes semi transparent and i dont understmd why does that happen. Its a rooted phone.

You are using some app and have configured it to sdcard .
Check which app you have installed that has that ability

Maybe unintentionally. Tom toolbox or some other app that has the ability to do so.

I m pretty sure i dont have any of them. Does rooting grants that permission.
Sent from my GT-N7000
You need root and the app have asked for root access but the actual selection has been done by hand.
Can you list your root apps?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
What is root apps? How can i do that?
Sent from my GT-N7000
Apps that need root to work.
Such apps are titanium backup
Triangle away. Rom manager. Rom toolbox.
Csc changer.
Mobile Odin
Seeder.
Like that

App like Addsfree requires root permission but dont think so that may affect this problem.

The app icons look like that for apps that are on the SD Card and the SD card is removed or unmounted. Apps that store themselves in /.asec (I think, whichever hidden folder is the one that is used for secure apps) also show that icon when the SD card is removed.

How you expect support For Note1 on Note2 forum?
Anyway, some application are by default moves to Sd card in Note1. some ICS have added newer launcher that have this bug(if i remember correctly LR6/Q or near to it). application which are on Sd card, becomes semitransparent(still usable) and if you keep short cut of this application to a folder on desktop, it gets erase short cut after rebooting.
Just move back your application to Phone memory and it should work.
you may find it in setting - application manager - app on Sd card (or something, i left using ICS and Note1, 4 month back)
and you will find option to move to phone

So there is no such solution right and i culdnt get the forum for note 1

As i said move application to phone and it will be fine. Or if you want to keep that on SD card only then update to latest ROM, which is bug free.
Thankx man will try the same.

After I moved a bunch of apps to the SD card when I restart the phone now it removes most of the apps. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Anyone stumbled into this issue?

I am on Nameless rom. Very solid but this aspect is not. I can setup the screens how I want them BUT if I have to restart/reboot/shutdown it removes everything I have done since moving any apps to SD.
It's a known bug from the launcher. Any home screen shortcuts to apps moved to SD card disappears after reboot.
You may use Nova Launcher instead of the default one as a workaround.
Ok I went into my files today to move something from downloads to my SD card. My issue is that there is no longer any way to do it. The side bar is gone. So I can't access anything other than recent stuff. Recent downloads fill the whole screen no matter what I do. Before there was a side bar that I could select internal or external storage and that would open the files under those headings. Again it's gone. Anyone know how to get it back. Here is a pic of what it looks like now

Try to move from the left edge the line that divides the tree browser. It can be resized, and without knowing you moved it all the way to the left.
Thank you. That was it.
