if its a widgets, u cant move it to sd as it will dissappear if u restart ur phone..

You have to have 2.2 or above to move apps to sd.
If you do, go to settings, applications, manage applications. when you click on the applications, you will find a button that says "Move to SD". If the button is white in color, you can move the app to sd if not then can not.
RTFM!!

It will probably do that anyway.
Just for the record, Widgets can't be stored on sd card as they wont work any more.

When i clicked move to sd it moved it to my internal memory instead of the external sd. what do i do to move it my external sd?

There is a program on t he market called App 2 SD try it its free

Move apps to external SD card

Hello.
Is there a app that moves the data to the external SD card?
I tried App2SD, and it didnt work!
I emailed the creator, and i got a replay:
http://android.a0soft.com/?url=App2SD.htm
I cannot find the "Move to xxx" button from application detailed information window.
Moving app to SD is handled by Android. App 2 SD app only provides an UI for you to manage it. Currently, Android only supports the primary external storage for App 2 SD. If the device does not have a real primary external storage or the primary external storage is emulated from the internal phone storage. Moving app to SD function will not be supported by Android system. It's the limitation of hardware. Please get more information from device manufacture.

I do have rooted my Note 2, so maybe another program can do the trick?

You can not move your applications to external sdcard.
Two workarounds (need root)
1.google for bind directory (tested on s3 and had problems)
2.swap your int sdcard with ext scdard.thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931500 (also needs custom kernel)

Actially there is one way.
You need root.
Download titanium backup pro, and you can move ALL user apps to sd card. :good:

Yea... but what SD card... i want the external one, not the small 16 gb one.
Newest edition of Spotify does not allow us to choose what SD card we store the music on.
Total failure.
Testing Bind Directory now.

Is it really that simple? I mean have you tried it, and do the games play properly without lag? If someone can confirm this you'll make my day. I have had bought titanium pro since my old GS2 days.

Titanium backup pro can really move the apps to SD for note 2? I have tried moving about 30 apps including some big size games and I don't see any different in my phone storage after moving....

From what I've read about the S3, no. That's why I was skeptical. From what I've read, you either have to use directory binder or install a mod which changes the internal storage with the sd card.

So, there is no way to do it? I really dont understand why you have an external SD that you cant used for apps or even storing Titanium backups to the EXTERNAL SD. This, as well as not being able to connect to my Hidden WAP is just about the straw that drives me back to the IPHONE. At least I know I can connect to my corporate Wifi and if I get 64gb then I truely have 64gb. Someone please ease my pain.

I think the only option for now is to use directory bind until someone made and app2sd which work for note 2 platform.

Last post, and there's a video by zedomax.
It involves a running a script, which automatically loads on boot.
Needs root.

Was reading this thread and thought I'd let you know that you can choose the directory in which Titanium Backup uses to store your backups. in the backup folder location, in the preferences for Titanium Backup.
I've been having issues with directory bind. I'm going to get a larger sd card and use the swap method. I like the Note 2 to much to want to return it

Seriously people directory bind is very easy to use, just once, set the mnt/extSdCard/android/data directory from your external sd as the source, and storage/android/data as the target path.. then manually move the desired app data to the sd card folder, easy

I've partitioned my SD (30 GB Fat32 & 2 GB ext2) but there is still no "move2sd" within Titanium.
I also can't find this new partition within my "File Expert" (rooted)
Can some1 please help me??

i think you cant create ext2 partition on your external sd. Dont try that on your phone, do it with a sd card reader and pc. Then install this app (link2sd), give permission, choose ext2, reboot, and LİNK your apps to sd. Dont (also you cant) move apps. Just link... Works perfectly on my international n7100.

I prefer Foldermount. Lets me mount at boot and it's more versatile.
Did anyone get link2sd to work? I got bootloops
But that was before I did a full root, maybe I should try it again.

Link2SD works perfectly fine on my phone. Rooted with Super SU, Bootloader locked! However you should note that, since the Firmware we are using is stock firmware, it might not have support for EXT2, 3, 4 filesystems as the second parititon of the SD Card, I already tried, so you're going to have to format the second parititon of your SD card using FAT32,using minitool home parititon wizard, then use LINK2SD, it should work perfect. But even then, you can move the App, Dex files and Lib files, which work fine for apps, but the games have an additional SD data or OBB files, which cant be moved to SD card. Meaning to perfectly play games on our Xperia M, you need to have a combination of Link2SD and GL to SD apps, GL to SD helps link./ mount the games on SD card and bind them to the apps, and make them appear as if they were on the internal SD.

Download link2sd and install the app,
Then, connect your memory card via a card reader.
Download Mini Tool Home Partition Wizard(Google it)
open the Mini Tool and select your memory card,
Assuming you backed up the data on your memory card,
Format the drive for best results, and create a new parition, File type FAT32. Type: PRIMARY!! Set the file size...
Leave whatever amount of space you want for the Apps partition.
Then create another partition on the SD card.
It will say that the second partition will not be viewable on Windows, Click OK.
Then change partition type to FAT32... Size is your wish. And Type: Primary!!
Then save changes, Now you should have two partitions on your SD card,
Both are FAT32 and both are PRIMARY!!! -This is necessary.
Then put back the Mem card in the phone,
Open LINK2SD, select second partition as FAT32, reboot the phone, and
You should be able to now expand the memory of your phone... Transfer apps to Memory card!

use folder mount app to move apps to sd... its the best app as my suggestion ..

use install manager

Backup your sd card on PC and partition your sd card and then use links to sd to transfer apps to sd card
But, remember your sd card will get formatted if you partition your sd card

Tab S - Moving apps to SD Card

Hi Guys,
I have Galaxy Tab S 8.4 16Gb which I installed SanDisk 64Gb Class10 sd card. To save space on internal memory, I move most of the application to SD card by going to Settings ? Application > Application Manager, and move the apps to SD card on by one. Now When I installed Dead Trigger 2, then moved to SD Card, I noticed that it didn't move the entire apps , rather its just move little bit of the apps to SD as below.
Total 460 MB
application 440 MB
SD card app 16.38 MB
Data 256 KB
SD card data 3.59 MB
In this case, only 16.38MB was moved to SD Card and 440MB still retain on a 16Gb internal memory.
My question is, this really the case where you cannot really move the entire application? I noticed most application I moved to SD Card doesnt really move the entire application.
Hope somebody can enlight me with this matter.
Thanks.

Actually I found this problem in my device too. Really it is kinda weird, cause usually it should move most of the stuff to SD Card! Usually all the games caches were downloaded to SDCARD too, now - not. I think that it's just a firmware mistake or something.

This is what i did for my Note 3 and Tab S 8.4
And also the only reason i root is to move OOB to external SD with FolderMount
Once rooted, of course installing more rooted app.

I just use Folder Mount and that works perfectly. A few extra seconds work at each game install and all my space troubles are away.

folder mount is perfect

Unfotunately, both my note 3 and tab s 8.4 is not rooted. And i am afraid to do so. For one, I might break my devices, secondly it might void warrantty , also i might loose some features that these devices has.
Your thoughts please.

Please try this:
-> Setting
-> Applications
-> Application Manager
-> SD Card
Click the application you want to move to SDCARD, you will under " App info", "Storage", there is a option "Move to SD Card".
It let you move the application you selected to SDCARD. But not every application supported.
Hope this help.
