this is simple ... at the moment, even though Froyo supports native app2sd but not the entire application get installed on the SD card. there is still a significant amount of data installed on the phone. thus, after the installation of much applications, you will still get the low storage issue.
the best way is still to root and use old skool app2sd+ which is at least allows u to install tons of apps.
I see, thanks for the info

If I understand correctly:
* if you don't do anything, only very few apps can be moved to SD card.
* if you set Installlocation2 (as in opening post), then some (about half) apps can be moved to SD card.
* if you root + app2sd, then most of the apps can be moved to SD card.

Well the apps are moved to sdcard all, but not every data of the application... it's weird
so to move all data you need to root. true is that i was manually moving old applications, don't know how it is with new apps tweaked for installin on sd.
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.
I found out this today. I have 38 mb left, but I integrate all system updates to ROM with TB and I get 90+ mb Not sure if this will help you

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.

This tweak is only good if u just finished flashing new rom..
Flashing it on rom with many apps and config have risk to mess up lot of stuff... especially if u have a lot of app installed in sd card

Alternatively u also can move some app from data/app to system/app by converting it become system apps
U can use systemcleanup or link2sd to do this

Hello to all
sorry for my english (by Google Translate)
With Google KitKat has favored the use of internal memory and has imposed on the sd card read-only mode.
I've done several tests and I could see that LG has allowed the writing from the File Manger, USB and the camera (what I've tried so far).
The connection "Archiving Wireless" allows read-only memory microSD.
I wanted to know if there is a way to write anchge.
thanks
First u need to Root (ioroot25) and then check this thread out -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524277&nocache=1
thanks,
I also saw this app "SDFix: Writable MicroSD KitKat". Could it work?
A solution without root, is this possible?

Hi actually that previous advise didnt work for me. So i googled more, and find this, go google market and search NextApp SDFix. This will work, but it will need root also. I dont think u can do this with out root.
Why could LG not have implemented this fix before making the update available?? The SD card slot is now useless to me.
I have read many pages of info on the restricted access to ext SD cards in Kitkat, and many promises that in Lollipop access could be granted by the user for all third party apps to write to any sd card file / tree.
But none of these articles have actually explained (in understandable terms) how to do this.
Can anyone tell me how we are supposed to grant access to external sd card by third party apps?
I would love to know as well. I'm debating between ordering the 32GB version from gearbest.com, versus waiting for the 64GB version. I would buy the 32GB version if I knew I could install apps to the external SD card. Maybe this is only possible with root and specialized ROM/kernel. Either way, it'd be nice if someone could shed some light on it.

Just to be clear, I can move "moveable apps" to the Sd card without any problem, obviously this is a restricted list withing the non-rooted version, but that is not my problem. Similarly, all the preinstalled apps like camera, google play music can successfully write to the Sd card with no additional access required.
My problem is that downloaded apps which should have the authority to modify/write files to the SD card such as MP3 tag editors, are not able to do so.
According to Poweramp, their app can gain permission to do this, but when I get the prompt to "grant access", my Sd card doesn't appear in the list of memories to which I can grant the access requested.
The purpose of my post was to see if (as suggested by some reports on Android 5.x) we can grant access to write/edit files on the Sd card at a generic level instead of doing it in each app, given that the developers of apps at the moment seem to be struggling with this.
I got my Zenfone 2 in the mail today from Amazon US. I'm not able to authorize any 3rd party apps to write to my external SD. ES File Explorer and Quickpic both send me to Android's baked in file manager to grant access to external SD card, but it doesn't show up for me to select. May as well still be on Kitkat. Very disappointing.
root needed : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix&hl=fr
This is the same old kitkat bug so this fix work also on LP 5.0 (i'm using it) and should be solved on 5.1..
If you haven't already done so please try apps/settings/ASUS Customized Settings/App installation settings/choose default installation location, internal storage or external storage 'if allowed.'

Tried it..you can copy or paste files to...ext and int...but you can only modify/ write once file transferd to internal sd....while files on external cant modify unless your using fx or es file manager.....
Ever since i went from a 4.3 rom to a 5.1 rom I can not write to my external sd card. I have tried going back to 4.3, other cards, changing permissions to no avail.
does anyone have a solution on how to fix this. I have tried asking in the forum thread for my Rom but got no answer at all and I have searched but none of the threads that show have any definite solutions.

I am rooted and running a custom rom at the moment. I have tried the card in other devices and my computer and get the same error which leads me to believe its the card. The weird thing is it will read files from it fine no problem but I cant delete or add files even if i change the write permissions.
If by explorer you mean something like ES file explorer I have tried various ones as well as the supposed external sd card fix apps.
