I recently bought an sd card. I am rooted running Iron rom and skyhigh kernel for the T800. For anyone using sd cards, is there a way to install apps to it and run it fine on my device while it being on my sd? Can someone tell me an app or something so i can save space on my internal storage? I have also applied the sd patch and formatted the sd with my tab s. Thank you!

It kinda works.. It just moves the data over. Anyway it doesnt matter as most games I have are small, so I can move all the big data to the sd and mount it from there. But thanks for the help!

Hi Everyone,
i currently have a Rooted HTC Desire with DJ Droid V1.2 and froyo. I have setup my SD card partitioned to 512mb. Everytime i install an app to the SD card or even move it to the SD card, it still takes up the full space on the phone. For example i had 116mb free on my internal storage then after installing fennic (takes up 18.51mb) i had 97.80mb left so it took up 18.19mb out of a 18.51mb install.
Am i doing something wrong? can anyone advise?

Dalvik cache and data will still be on the internal memory, only the physical app will get moved to sd card.

ok fair enough but look at how little space is actually being stored on the sd card (0.32mb) Are you saying that the app is only 0.32mb and 18.51mb of that app is data? by the way ive never used this app so i dont know how it has 18.51mb of data.

well maybe in the case of firefox, or whatever name its going by, as its only a alpha/beta does not correctly move to SD.

ok i prob picked a bad app as an example i was just trying to get something with a large install. i tried it with another few apps after partitioning my sd card and it seems to work fine. Thanks man.
Just one question. what is app2sd for? is that the routed version of what froyo has? it only lists like 2 apps to be able to move. which one moves the apps to the ext partition, app2sd or applications (in system menu)?

Not all apps will have the ability to "move to sd" on froyo, however with "apps2sd+" or "ext apps2sd" everything will be saved onto the ext parition of the sd card.
So since i have app2sd already preinstalled on the djdroid rom, i already see all my apps are movable to the SD card. is that correct? or are just most apps movable anyway
app2SD doesnt MAKE all YOUR APPS MOVABLE. It just alerts you when an app is movable.

Two things!
1. Why resurrect a thread that is nearly 3 months old?
2. If someone is using Apps2SD with an EXT partition, everything is already installed on the EXT partition and so is already on the SD card. There's no point "moving" it to SD since all you'd be doing is shifting it from the EXT partition to the FAT32 partition!

Check the i9505 Development forum. I believe most, if not all of their modded/stock ROMs do. Just be sure to flash a T-Mobile kernel after flashing a ROM from any other section that this one.

Nice thanks:good:
I heard the built in App to SD isnt very efficient and doesnt move all apps properly. But FolderMount is an app that does the job perfectly, and i highly recommend it. This one works on every ROM and ive used it to fill up my 64GB external SD card without any issues. All apps and everything moved wih this app function 100% properly.

Apps and games. You just mount the directories of the apps or games that are saved to your phone over to directories that it can automatically create for you or that you make on your SD card.

Doesn't do anyhing but cause issues. I already had files for madden12 on sd card after I used folder mount and switched files to ex card it asks me to download files again for the game. So it's useless to me. Waiting on elesbb app or somebody to come up with a switch mount script that works for all files.

Thats very strange because my apps did that with every single other app to sd card method, and would always make me re download, but this has worked for everything. Every gameloft game, every non gameloft game like Real Racing 3, works perfect. Even apps like skype and whatsapp or anything works flawlessly when i mount it to my external SD.

Did it ever give you a faulty module popup saying it needed to be patched? Cause that popped up every time i opened it for the first time and i patched it and then you have to reboot and then it works.

i would recommend trying again. When you first open and let it load it should give you that popup. Allow it to fix the fault, and then reboot the phone and it should work.

I tried it. It leaves the files in the original location (after selecting "yes" to allow them to be moved to the SD card). I confirmed they were on the SD card, but nothing was moved from the phone. What's the point? Doesn't free up any space. I tried deleting the files from the phone after they were "moved" to the SD card, and the app would not run. Error message about the SD card not being mounted.
What's the point if the files must be in both locations?? Saves no space.

From what I understand the app performs a mount with 'bind' option, the disk usage is not accurate as the system 'thinks' these files still reside on the internal sd, but are actually located on the ext. SD.

You guys should try GL to SD Root works better than folder mount or directory bind. I used it to move 7 gb's of game data to my ex card. Helped me out alot.

Oh. I see. A symbolic link, so if I delete file from what appears to be the phone, I'm actually deleting files on SD card. I get it. Thanks for clearing that up.
having anything left over in internal memory? Thx! My phone is rooted if that helps.

Without anything left in internal!!
Some of the app data is stored in internal memory. But app can be moved to external SD card.
Use Link2sd application, available on play store.

I am sure this requires root access however does this app work and is it helpful in moving apps from internal memory to external sd card?

Yeah! It works great. And works after rooting phone.
But first you need to setup your sdcard. Like partitioning sdcard.
And you should not remove card after moving apps or you need to reboot your phone.

I just got my sandisk 64gb and wondering how can I move app data to sd card?. Yes, there is an option to move to sd in App settings, but this only moves apps itself, not app data.
I tried to use Titanium backup but see no options for moving apps to sd card? Please help. Thank you so much.

Get the app folder mount it's superb..
You need root access but this app will move the entire folder to SD from either data or obb.
Hope this helps.
Non rooted, you're stuck with what htc offer.

Thanks, it works for some games. But recent games such as godfire, modern combat 5, they still somehow ask to download data again.

Last time I used DirectoryBind, it didnt work. I thought I would have the same problem with foldermount. But this one works great for MC5. Thanks again. Hope this app is going to work for android 6.0 because we're gonna receive update very soon.

I'm pretty sure you'll have no problems, this app is spot on and I'm confident it'll do the trick. Great you got it working.
Re: SD Card Into Internal Memory
Hi guys
Can you let me know how to make the SD card part of the internal memory. The A5 2017 is a good phone but the problem is the limitation in the internal memory and seriously i'm not willing to change the phone just because it lacks space. So, if someone knows how to make the SD card part of the internal memory, please do share. Since I'm quite new, if there's a need to root the phone or whatever, please send the instructions also. Much appreciated.

As I know, on stock you can't do this, but on android8.1 unofficial ROMs yiu can do that.
if you want to use more app in your phone, can use "link2sd" app. it links app 2 sd
else you can use custom rom to combine sd memory and phone but in this case you cant use sd card out of your phone because other devices cant detect that.

it's saying link2sd could not obtain root access.
if you have root access make sure you respond "allow" or grant to the superuser request.
how to sort that out?
