I struggled like crazy with this problem before I rooted my phone and got an extra partition to store app data and cashe.
I guess you ask this question because you dont want to root your phone. I remember this thread from the time I used to struggle with this exact problem. Perhaps they have new ways to increase the int.memory these days.
(hope its allowed to post links to other forum)

The best way i've found this is to root your phone and install Cyanogenmod 7.1, and use an app available from the Play Store called S2E. You will need to prep your SD card though - I used a card reader, inserted it into my computer and booted off a Ubuntu Live CD, then use Gparted to make two partitions - one large main fat32 partition for music etc, and a 1GB ext4 partition after the fat32 one for apps. Once you have that, put it back in the phone and you can setup S2E to move entire apps to the SD card I have about 90 apps on there now, works perfect, makes the phone better than new! Hope this helps.

please please tell me more about it .. i am using latest version of miui. can i use S2E ? Miui already required a hidden partition for installation purposes. Do I need to create another on ?
Miui doesn't support S2E I believe as it designed for Cyanogenmod. There is another application called link2sd (I think) which does the same sort of job. I remember finding it ages ago and it not working well with Cyanogenmod though. Cyanogenmod 7.1 seems to be the most stable ROM around at the moment though, just a little slow is my only quarrel. This is from my experience anyway, haven't tried ICS ROMs. Tried Miui for about 10 minutes and didn't like it personally.
Try the ICS BCM 3.1U0
It IS working fabulous.
And it has a built in app called Mounts2SD. It seems that I can use both my internal and the extra partition and the space on my SD-card.
I highly recommend that you format your SD-card and get a 512mb partition. Then its smooth sailing.
Which ROM do you currently use?
Hi all, I've a desire, running on

currently.
I used this:
http://androidforums.com/gome-flytouch-3/352291-help-partition-sd-card.html
method to try to create an ext2/ext3 partition, the problem is it simply doesn't appear to work - actually the phone asks me to reformat my SD card. Anyway I'm really not sure what's happened here, I rooted my phone/flashed the previous ROM so long ago that any knowledge has basically gone out of the window, so whatever info. you need, do ask,
Thanks
gparted or 4ext recovery are the best ways to partition sd card. don't know why you're looking in other device forums. searching around here you'll find that you should not use minitool...
backup your sd card, then look here (step 5), stick with guides that are written for your device
Hi All,
I have a HTC desire w/ Android 4.2. One of the BIG problems with this phone is that the ROM only has 512MB and most of the space is token by the OS and other services.
Also many Apps are installed on the ROM and user cannot move them to the SD card.
Recently I was able to move most of my apps from the phone into the SD card (You just need to download the SDK and execute 2 simple steps having the Phone connected to the PC), Let me know if you need deeper details to do so.
Anyway, this is better but not the best solution since other Apps (native Apps) cannot be moved, and looks like that the other Apps that now I can move to the SD card are not completely moved to the DS card ( some data is kept on the ROM)
Does anyone know how to move the Apps totally into the SD card without rooting the phone?
rooting looks like is very hard, I couldn't find the programs that people use to mention to perform the root!
Thanks!
s-off and rooting is the only guaranteed way to get around memory limits.
it's not that hard, just need to slow down and read a lot. there are guides for everything.
i recommend to start here
And after you s-off with the help of the guide eddiehk mentioned above, follow this guide :

There's no point moving apps to SD because it will fill up anyway.

Best way to gain more space will be use some ROM without any script.
Create ext partition on SD card and then use CronMod INIT2EXT script.
This way you can have even 1GB of internal storage. Nice and clean.
All you have to remember to obtain SD card with good class, best will be 10.

But a rom will have a script already no need to change scripts.

-Firstly do any of these work in cm 11 all listed instructions are for 4.1/4.2
-Is it possible to use a ext partition on my sd card, on my previous phone i used s2e and apps were installed to a ext partition on my sd card
so far i have tried links2SD but it doesnt seem to work for me with cm 11
Any other suggestions or advice is welcome

new member here, and because of spam policy no outside link possible so you'll have to make some copypasta.
i have the same issues with cm11 on my n7000 and found this article:
technicles.com / how-to-partition-sd-card-and-use-link2sd-to-free-up-internal-memory
making a backup of all my files and then test it.
report later..
Hello there everyone!
I recently got a Tab S 8.4 (t-700) with 16 GB, and found out that the internal storage is not enough when you want a decent amount of apps and games. My question is that any of you got Link2SD working (without a custom ROM)? I rooted my tab and then put TWRP recovery (I wanted CWM, but haven't found it for this tab) on it, partitioned my 32 GB Samsung SD card (1st partition ~24 GB FAT32, 2nd partition ~8 GB ext2/ext3/ext4 (tried all of them) with EaseUS Partition Master, and MiniTool (tried both of them)), and all I get from Link2SD is "Mount Script cannot be created. mount: Invalid argument). Does anybody know how to solve this? I tried partitioning with TWRP but I get "device not found" error when I try to start the partitioning, even thought the SD card is mounted and FIle manager can use it. I also tried to look for this problem on the googles and the forums, but 90 % of threads are +2 years old and not really helpful.
Every bit of help is appreciated.
I am on iron rom which is an stock based rom with a few mods. I formatted my sd by going to into settings>general>storage and scroll down till you see format sd. Of course i didnt need to do that as my sd card was already working. Hope this helps
Thank you for your response, but my question was not how to format my SD card. The SD works fine if I want to use it normally without partitioning. I want to make it work with Link2SD.
Doing this worked for me. I formatted my sd with this and it worked fine with linktosd but I have no idea why yours wont work. Sorry
Formatting the SD card in the settings will create a single FAT32 partition on the card. What I'm trying to do is make 2 partitions on the SD card (which I have already done), and mount one with Link2SD, because most apps won't work or move a very little amount of Data to the SD when it's normally formatted. Link2SD has the ability to mount an ext2-3-4 formatted partition, so the apps work with it. I just can't figure it out why it won't work with mine, and asking if other people who has tried the Mounting method has any experience. The "native" method of moving apps to the SD with Link2Sd does a different thing and that's not what I'm trying to accomplish.
EDIT:
Here is a relatively old guide of what I'm trying to do: LINK
Hey, im also having that same problem with my tab s 8.4, i have tried creating ext2, 3 and 4, and even fat32, but none works, did you manage to find a way to make it work??
thankss
Did you ever get Link2SD working? I had it working on my Asus TF700 by using GParted to partion my sd card and everything worked perfectly. Do not know what the difference is but everyone said I had to use GParted.
Just create an ext2 partition on your sd card and link2sd will detect it. I've had it working with link2sd plus.
What's the problem?

You need to use the latest version from play.
I'm already using the latest version of Link2Sd but still not working.
I am also looking into using an SD card to move apps to via Link2SD....also on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S (10.1 wifi version)
Good to know someone tried this recently
Have you tried using gparted to partition the SD card? A lot of the stuff I ran into online recommends this as the partitioning tool. I have worked with linux before doing more "advanced" stuff like this with android and it's a great tool for many platforms (also it works, unlike other partitioning programs I have used prior to it)
Will keep checking back here and will also let you know what happens when/if I try to do this...

Is it official, already patched or have you attempted to patch it?
If so then it wont work. I know it works.

You can use any partitioning tool that handles ext2,3 or 4.
Minitool partition wizard is good for this on Windows.

Does the format we use (ext 2, 3 or 4) matter for Link2SD?
Does it need to be the same as the original file system of the tablet itself? (in this case the Tab S)

@therajatshahare: I was able to use Link2SD with two different SD cards. ON both of them, I was able to use Link2SD to move the app + lib + dex files of several applications (including several games and Facebook) to and from the SD card with no issue.
The only issue I had was when I unmounted my previous SD card (because it wasn't partitioned), two of my apps did not work and I had to reinstall them through Google Play.
I also bought the full version of Link2SD so that I can move even the app data to and from the SD cards as needed
@ashyx: Also, I had no issue partitioning the SD card using Minitool Partitioning in Windows. Again, I partitioned two cards using this windows app, both of them with roughly half the space formatted to ext2, and the other half as FAT32.
So.....no issues from this end. Tested successfully and working as intended
