Not all apps installs do internal memory. Some end up at the SD by default and many of those that installs to the internal can be moved to the SD.
A tiny part will be left on the internal memory but this really should not be an issue for you. You can have tons of apps.
Use the phone as u want and see where u end up at
Also "the tiny part which will be left on the ROM" will have around 1MB
i'm looking on this matter now, so i'm waiting to root my phone and clear some unused application, to clear my ROM
so how can we move apps on sd card

Head to Settings->Applications->Installed applications and find the app u want to move to SD. Click it and click "Move to memorycard"
Not all apps can be moved this way tho but it helps a bit!
yes there is the option to move them to sd card but it not apply to all apps
is there any software app who can move every thing to sd card then please tell
thank for your time sharing with this post..........
It's prossible to do a 'full' apps2sd if you have a rooted phone and a specially partitioned SD card, but i havent tried it on the arc so dunno if it will actually work.
I dont know why you really need to do this though. The root method i mention above was popular before 2.2 added built in apps2sd, particularly on older phones with small amounts of internal storage, but since android 2.2 there really isnt much point. I've got *tons* of apps installed on my arc, and still have more than half the space left.
There doesnt appear to be a massive thread describing how to get full apps2sd working for a rooted arc, the reason for this is because nobody really needs it. What are you trying to do that needs this?
be careful some apps wont work when their on your sd that why you can't move them.
for example don't move your launcher app ( when using one ) and don't move apps if you use a widget from the app ( or the app is a used widget )

I had the same issue as the OP..
I had install many apps, and then there is warning that my memory is low
I already installed app2sd and moved some apps to sd, but not all apps can be moved.
Is it possible to use an EXT partition on sd as an internal memory?
This trick is common in HD2 world (when using NANDROID).
I havent tried it with my Arc because it is unrooted.
If anyone has tried it, please share it with us
Thanks and cheers ...
I place all my apps too the internal storage. It's easy and there is enough space on the phone
Hi guys,
My XPlay's internal storage is FULL, is there any solution or workaround???
I am already rooted and moved everything to sdcard !!
from xperia PLAY (enjoying N.O.V.A.3)
Try Link2SD, I love that app, the only downer is that you need an ext partition (and root, but that isn't a problem, at least for you).
I personally have a weird mix of tweaks; Link2SD, dalvik2cache and a custom "google-play-cache2SD" and I've about 120 MB of free internal (well, I flashed the 420MB data partition firmware)
I am already using move2sdEnabler..to use link2sd how can I create another partition???
from xperia PLAY (enjoying N.O.V.A.3)
One way to do so, without losing your data (well, if something goes wrong like a power out or so you could also lose your data) is plugging your uSD in a PC running Linux (a live cd does the trick) and use a program called partition manager. There you can resize, create, delete and move partitions, try finding a how-to on that app, there's plenty of info on Internet.
Now, the difference between move2sd enabler and Link2SD, AFAIK, is that Link2SD moves the apk, dex and libs of your apps (sadly not data, yet), while move2sd enabler only moves the apk.

Please help. I don't know which method is better to move those unmovable apps.
Hi!
I need help, please.
My internal storage is very low (getting a message). I have gone through all the apps and moved everything that can to SD Card.
I don't know which method is better to move those unmovable apps to the SD card.
I have a Sony Xperia Play
My Phone details:
Model - R800i
Android Version - 2.3.4
Kernel Version - 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Build - 4.0.2.A.0.42
I have heard about Titanium Backup root, DroidSail Super App2SD, adb, Link2SD and so on.
The methods above can let me move those unmovable apps to the SD card.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of them? How do they compare? Which method is safer or more reliable? Which method can move more apps?
If you know, please let me know, thanks.
I look forward to this, thanks.

I got this information from the official Link2SD website, this is comparing Native apps2SD to Link2SD. But I don't know how Link2SD compared with Titanium Backup root, DroidSail Super App2SD, adb and so on. If you know which method is safer or more reliable and which method can move more apps, please let me know, thanks.
Comparision of Native apps2sd and Link2SD:
(Native apps2sd
Starting with Android 2.2 (Froyo) Google introduced native apps2SD.
This method moves
* apk file on Android 2.2
* apk + lib files on Android 2.3+
into a secure folder on your SD card in the main FAT partition.
It is the easiest method because it doesn't require you to partition your sdcard and root privilige.
It has some disadvantages though.
First disadvantage is that application files are just stored on the sdcard's main FAT partition.
When you enable USB mass storage to share files with your computer (or otherwise unmounts or removes the external storage), any application installed on the external storage and currently running is killed.
The system effectively becomes unaware of the application until mass storage is disabled and the external storage is remounted on the device.
Besides killing the application and making it unavailable to the user, this can break some types of applications in a more serious way.
So second disadvantage is that not all apps can be moved with native apps2sd method because of above reason.
In order for the application to consistently behave as expected, developer should not allow the application to be installed on the external storage if it uses any of the following features, due to the cited consequences when the external storage is unmounted:
Widgets, Services, Alarm Services, Live Wallpapers, Live Folders, Account Managers, Sync Adapters, Broadcast Receivers listening for "boot completed".
Force move (requires root);
You can force the apps move to SD card with native apps2SD even the application does not support moving as described above.
Link2SD and some other apps can force move apps if you have root priviliges. But, note that this can break some applications, as described above.

I dont know the disadvantages of advantages of using those apps you listed because I swap my sd card alot. But there is a mod to increase internal storage by install a mod via CWM. But there is a catch this mod requires you to be on the 2.3.3 firmware not 2.3.4.

Hello,
I would like to root my Sony Ericsson Experia SK17i because the internal storage is way too small and I would like to move most of the installed apps on my larger SDHC card. Before I do that I would like to know a few things.
If I root this phone then move all the apps to the SDHC card, will the apps stay there and be accessible if I unroot the system?
Also if I root this phone, will the system unroot on the next firmware update by Sony?

Quote from sonys unlockbootloader website:
You should be aware that unlocking the boot loader will not give you root access. The only way to get root access is to flash a custom ROM with root access.

Android 4.2.2 jellybean stock unrooted:
My son loves the gameloft iron man game. With this phone I can move the app (45mb) to external SD card. But the data for the game (1GB+) stays on the phones sd card (STORAGE/SDCARD0/ANDROID/OBB). And if I try to manually move the game data to (STORAGE/EXTSDCARD/ANDROID/OBB) it does not recognize it. Why would it give us the option to move the app to external sd card, but not also move it's data (often being the largest part of the app). Doesn't that defeat the purpose of this feature?
Same issue with co-pilot gps app; I can move the app but not the 1GB of map data.
Do I need to change a file somehow to make the system look at the external sd card instead of the phone sd card for its data?
BACKGROUND:
I love Android 4.2.2 jellybean on this phone (I'm stock; unrooted).
And I loved when I saw that you could once again move apps to the external SD card. (It took me back to the days on Android gingerbread 2.3.4 when I could save all my phone memory and put almost all my apps on my SD card.)
But I found out that although you can move the app, any data for those apps remains on the phone sd card.
See 2 examples above.
Use folder mount its easy setup. It "redirect" any sdcard/folder to the extsdcard/foder

I need a means that does not require root.
Why would it allow me to move the app without root; but require root to move the data.
This seems like a Samsung flaw, or an Android 4.2.2. flaw.
Does kitkat move apps and their data to external sd card?

This is an Android thing bro. KitKat would be the same. There's few app that can do the job, but most (if not all) requires root.
I could agree that it was just an android thing if it didn't let you move apps at all (like ICS wouldn't). But it does let you move apps now without root, just not the data. Anyone else?

I recently filled up my internal storage and have put a new 64gb sd card in my TAB S. Now I have figured out how to move apps already installed on my device to the SD Card through the app manager. Is there a way to install apps right off the bat to the SD card or do I have to first install them to my device and then move them over?
I have the same question-
But i m not able to move app also, do we have a fix?
Few gb's game lead to no storage space available - how to fix this guys.
Root, install SDfix for R/W permission and FolderMount or Link2SD to transfer files, data etc to the SD card.
It's kind of convoluted. I read you could use adb to set default location to external sd. Sounds great except it doesn't work. I'm using folder mount right now. It's a bit tedious because you install your app on internal first, then move any large obb to external. I tried link2sd but had trouble with partitioning the card. I'll give it a shot some other time.
I don't know why you just can't like sym link /sdcard0 to /sdcard1 and be done with it.

I had the same issue before., Rooted the device and install custom ROM which did not solve the issue as I wanted. Installed the Kalikazoo above and another KitKat External app from the Play Store and then I was able to use the Apps2SD for most of my apps. After using these, I was able to use the External SD as I had planned. My big issue was Apps Backup & Restore which is my backup to Titanium Backup if any of the ones I want fail. Since all of these take a lot of space the external SD is a MUST. I have it am I am a happy camper because of it. Shame on Samsung for limiting our use of that external slot right out of the box.
