Is there a way for me to just install or run a few apps from the SD card? The reason I ask is that I do not always have the SD card plugged in. I recently bought GTA: SA and would like to play this game on my ouya, but the lack of space will not allow this.
Any suggestions on what I can do, to make it so I can install the game to sd, and have it sort of be a Portable app?
Thanks

i have used the micro SD card to install Copilot and although the installation was done to the phone rather than the storage card it still requires the storage card to run.
Is there a way around this and run copilot without having the micro sd card in as i want to be able to have CoPilot and also get a new micro sd to store music etc on.
Thanks,
Chris
I dont use copilot myslef I use tomtom. However I would suggest that the program and maps voices etc will be to large to fit on the device, why not get a 2 gig micro sd card and have your music on it aswell.
As I said I dont use co pilot but I cant see you getting everything on the device. I did read somewhere that you can get a 4 gig card but never seen one myself or indeed have never had confirmation it will work.
Hope this helps
Never thought of transferring the Copilot SD data to a new bigger card through the PC as i thought it was too small but with the adapter will obviously fit in the card reader no problem. Thanks alot
Guys....before i get flamed for not searching...here's the crux of it. I know there are lots of posts out there that touch on the subject but finding the right one is tough when using the search words "SD" or "Large SD Problem" etc...so I thought it quicker to ask first off.
Anyway...I need to stick more movies on an SD card than my 1GB can handle. I have tom tom on there also. If I get an 8GB SD card to stick in my Artemis can I simply copy over all the files on the SD card and will the programs installed continue to function? I don't know if it references the card by machine name (the machine Id for it) or simply by the peripheral Id.
Another question is, is there any reason a large SD card wouldn't work?
Thanks for helping me out.
Cheers again
Guys i just bought 16gb sd card.. since the usb storage is almost full..

Unfortunately there isn't really an elegant way to migrate data to an external SD card. You can manually move music and videos just by connecting to a computer and drag+dropping them into the external sd directory, or by using an Android file manager, whatever floats your boat. Both ways are kind of an annoying hassle.
You can move apps by going into Applications in the Settings menu, or using a tool like Titanium Backup. If you aren't already using Titanium Backup (or something similar), check it out!
Finally, unless you have TONS of apps, you probably won't free up much space by moving the apps to the SD card. Apps all work differently, so see if you can track down particularly bad space hogs and find out if you can move their storage locations.
In the camera click setting and change it from usb storage to external.

Thanks C3jay.. never noticed that setting before.. moving all my USB storage pic to external SD manually now...
but how about those Gameloft data? it takes a really huge space.. and it's in USB Storage right?
btw...
anyone tried this MOD in E4GT?

it swaped the USB Storage with External SD.. I think it's a good idea..
For some reason, MX player cant play certain MKV files from the external SD but if I move that file to the internal storage it plays it just fine. Its this ROM/ Android version problem? For example: I have movie 1 and movie 2 on my external sd, Movie 1 plays fine but when I try to play Movie 2 I get the CANT PLAY THIS FILE message. Then I move Movie 2 to the internal storage and plays fine without issues.
Ok decided to make another test.
If I transfer a movie from my PC to the internal storage, the movie plays fine. Then I decided to move the movie to the external SD and tried to play the movie but no luck at all Cant play this file message again.
Moved the movie back to storage and now the movie wont play displaying the same message as in external SD, Cant play this file.
Took out the 64GB SD and mount an old 8GB SD to see if the problem is related to the SD it self.
After mounting the old 8GB SD and passing the movie again, it play fine on the old SD. Moved the movie to internal and worked fine too. Now the weird thing is that i mounted the 64GB SD back, passed the movie and is working fine this time. At this point I dont know what the issue is.
Decided to check the SD formats of each card, the 64gb is in exFAT while the 8bg is in FAT 32. That may explain part of the problem?
Hi
I have a significant problem using an External SD card for storing and playing music. I've now tried doubleTwist, Mediamonkey, Poweramp and Google Play Music. I've also tried just copying my music onto the SD card via PC/USB. So far none of these solutions allows me to even play music, let alone sync. Now I am using a 128GB card, is that the problem? I notice that the specs vary as to whether 64 or 128 is the max size supported. Or is it just a failing of android?

Does your SD card get recognized normally on the "Storage" settings?
I never had any problems with my 32gb class 10 SD card on my P8000. Every music plays without any problem.

Yes, it does and is recognized by my PC as a drive which I can copy files on to. Can I ask you what music app you use and how you get your music on your phone? Do you download it via the app? Do you use app2sd?
And I can load apps onto it with app2sd.

I see. Well, do you have any other SD card to test into it?! Because I really wpuld guess it could be related to the humongous 128gb size!
I use the Stock music app (actually Eragon's, which is the same as stock) and never had any issues. Did not download via app, and never used app2sd.

I think you might be right about the SD card. I'll buy a smaller one.

my 128GB Sandisk works perfect. I use the Shuttle Player, but many player work. You could try the Nexus ROM, maybe this can fix your problem. I will upload very soon the V2.3, i would recommend to test it.

Thank you. Eragon dev says he also doesn't have any problems with music.
I had to format my SD card on my PC to exFAT and now everything works in Nexus Rom.
