'ello mates!
I recently rooted and installed a custom ROM on me Desire 816 and for some reason, the option to move ANY app to SD is missing. I'm running CarbonROM 4.4.4 and on the Virgin Mobile USA variant. Any idea why? Did I need to install that write to SD mod or something called wp_mod.ko? I thought that was included here since I have been freely able to move things from internal and external vice-versa. Thanks in advance for any insight!
I've included a photo showing where the button "Move to SD" normally is in the settings. EVERY app I have is missing this button.
Move to SD card is still in stock ROM(including Lollipop) for apps that support that function.

Yes I saw that it works on stock. Does anyone know how to enable it in CarbonROM?

I just bought a Galaxy S4 mini and my apps can not be moved to my SD card. Basically, the application manager is missing the 'on the SD card' tab. So I read that there will be a software update for the galaxy s4. It should be an update for the galaxy s4 mini right? I do not want to root it, as I had enough with rooting/roms and stuff like that. The stock software seems to be more stable anyway.

Try to tap on an app in Application Manager, there should be 'Move to SD card' button (in Storage section). Just tap it and the app is moved, however this does not move the app data.
I rooted mine and still cant fully move Alps. Tried titanium backup app2sd. Link2sd. None of them work. I guess its this emulated storage thing?
Is there no easy way to work around it or will it likely be fixed when custom roms start appearing?

A software update from Samsung does not necessarily mean that they will provide the functionality for moving apps to the SD card.
At the moment, only apps which support moving their data onto the SD card will show a "Move to SD" button in the App Info pane of the application.
Even when they show the button it only moves a small portion of it.
I was thinking more of when cm is out for it. I'm guessing this emulated storage thing is not limited to s4 mini and somehow its a case of making mmc the install location over the internal space

Yes it's not limited to the S4 mini. That's why it's a popular feature in custom roms as many stock roms do not allow installation of apps on the external SD.

If you are rooted, you can move the app to SD via standard 'Move to SD Card' button in App section and then use FolderMount (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192122) to "move" the rest of the app data that is not moved by 'Move to SD Card' function. It works for me on my I9195.
Some users also say that GL2SD works for them (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp&hl=en) on S4, so it might also work on the mini.
Hello All,
Just got my LG G3 D855 32gb and I have downloaded several apps.
The thing is that I want to move the apps on the SD card but I dont have that option on every app the "Move to SD Card" is greyed out.
Do I have to be rooted to move apps on this phone? (On my GS4 I wasnt rooted and I could move the apps withour issues with the same sd card) or do I have to change a setting?
Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks
This is fairly a well-known issue with kitkat 4.4, with apps not being able to write into SD.

This fixed it for me - app developed by one of the XDA developers.
The new sandbox in Android creates this issue. All for security!
Hi, can I use SD Card as default storage? How? I have a 64 GB SD Card, but every App/Games data is in external storage(which have only 10 GB, and now it is full), when I move Android folder from external storage to SD card, every game stops working, because can't find data and try downloading it again to external storage. I try several app for moving to the SD card, but without luck, Is there any solution? Thank you.
app removed sorry
Why would you think that just moving an app's data would be okay? How on earth would the app know where you moved its files to?
Have you tried Apps2SD?

Yes, without luck. I move it to the SD card, but its same as when I do it with file explorer, game canť find data and trying downloading it again..
Are you running a custom ROM? I thought from your signature you were on Viper. Then I realized its not a Viper version number (7.0.0) that applies to this phone.
I think the SD card fix needs to be applied for Apps2SD to work, but most (if not all) custom ROMs should already have the SD card fix implemented.

Yes, sdfix is aplied in rom (Viper 3.1.0.) I see in some LG device, it have in setting/storage when people can select default storage. I need set a sd card as default, but can't find how.
Hi,
I would like to swap the default storage to the SD card. I have T800 and find the 16gb not enough for all my staff.
Is there any way to swap the default storage? I have found link2sd but I never used it and maybe there is a better solution. I am rooted and running Ironrom .

Thanks for your reply. The app just allows to move the movable apps to the SD but this is already built in and I can do this from the app manager.
I wanted to swap the actual default storage from the internal storage to SD. Some of the smartphones do have this option. (I have a Honor 6 phone and I am able to change the default storage from internal to external. Even without root.)
Unfortunately you can't do that with any Samsung device, they just didn't fix it because of the SD card liability and how they construct their folders. I've been wanting that to make it easy.

That's why i am nostalgic to Jelly Bean . I even get lost of my Windows 8 laptop for the changes i don't like,happy now with Windows 7 and Microsoft knows it , the start menu is back in Windows 10.
And for Android,i stay far away from Lollipop. KitKat is bad enouf for me
when there's a will there's a way
No default to sd card but you can move the installed apps via settings in the apps manager. Also you could try foldermount to link these large files to the sd card
Hello Guys,
I have purchased a micromax canvas a1 from a retail store 2 days ago and there is no problem in the device except that i am not able to access my phone memory (or internal SD) with using any file manager app (root browser also) nor able to access it through pc when connected. Only External SD card is accessible.
There is no problem in app installation, i am able to move app data to External SD card and vice versa. The storage setting also shows internal SD and the app manager too displays the internal SD capacity. Everything is fine except i am not able to view the internal SD card.
I have unlocked bootloader and Flashed CWM and Installed official Cyanogenmod 11 ROM but the problem still persists. You can check the below Screenshots. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that info. Hope Lollipop update may fix it.
Wondering why nobody complained about it.
Thank you again.
I was also wondering why nobody mentioned this..
My internal storage runs out of space all the time and it bugs me that I can't access it.
And as for nexus devices, they don't have an sd card slot at all, so you can access the internal memory.
