I am unrooted, and used a non root app to move apps to the SD card. After moving all that can safely be moved, plus a number apps that were only somewhat compatible, I backed out to the main screen. Voila! The SD card ejected itself virtually. All that got moved became gone. Luckily, a simple restart put everyone back. I'm hypothecising that LG omitting the native storage from the ROM effed up the SD ejection. What, if any, work around exists?
Hi. Please in the future post your questions in the Q&A section. I'll ask a moderator to move this thread.
I don't know the answer to your quesiton, though.

Hey people, I'm experiencing some problem with moving Apps to my SD card.
I'm quite a lazy bump and writing this topic probably takes more time than redownloading all of my stuff But I'm stubborn and I want to know how this works.
The reason I want to move stuff to my SD card is the fact I ****ed some stuff up and I want to install a stock rom
I was installing the new system update via this GUIDE, thanks fly out to hamdir
Unfortunately, something went wrong (check it out here), because I had preinstalled apps removed, and by-passing the problem it caused didn't work out well...
So now I want to install a stock rom so the preinstalled stuff will be there again, and I will be able to update it properly.
------------------------
So, the actual question.
Because I want to have all my applications on my SD card anyway, I started moving it through Manage Applications.
For some applications (apps I surely installed myself), I cant select the ''Move to SD" option, while if they already were on my SD card it would say Move to phone - which it doesnt.
Any idea on why I can't? I maked sure they werent running
Because some apps don't work properly if you run them from t the sd card. You'd be better off looking at an app called titanium backup for what you are trying to do.

To use titaniumbackup I will need root acces which I mysteriously lost (check the link I gave, hope someone could still assist me there a little..!)
It would seem weird to me that compatability with the SD card is the issue because some of my simple games I can't move either.
For example: Armored Strike. Is there anyone who has this on his phone that wants to check if he is able to move it to SD card?
Thanks
Sorry to post a new thread but I have been searching for a couple of days now and am still confused, so please forgive me if I have missed the obvious answer. (I am currently undergoing chemotherapy for a very treatable form of cancer but the chemo is messing with the logical part of my brain, so again, please forgive a noob/silly/obvious question!)
I have a Desire HD and I am very confused about how to ensure that my apps are installed to my SD card. When I flashed a custom ROM, I am fairly certain that I did not partition the SD card (unless the flashing process does it automatically).
In my searching on this site, I've read somewhere that you no longer need to partition the card. I've also read something about the fact that Gingerbread roms now 'format' the SD card as XFAT4 file system while flashing. Is this correct? If so, does this mean that my apps will all automatically install to the SD card? I keep getting limited space on the current SD card which has more than enough room for my apps. (Hope that makes sense.)
Sorry to be such a noob but I am totally confused and just need to know what on earth to do with the SD card.
Any help would be very much appreciated!! Thanks in advance.
First off we are all hoping you pull through. Get Well.
You do not have to partition your sd card. And doubt there is a custom ROM when flashed that will do it. My card is fat32 with only the primary partition and has always been that way. I have never reformatted my card. If you are flashing a new ROM and you do a complete wipe it might be a good idea to format your card yourself, either through your computer or your phone. Then you can have a fresh clean start. Of course back up all your important info to your pc first.
Your phone by default installs apps to the phone's internal memory. There are some apps that you install that will install to the sd card from the market. I am guessing you are running out of internal memory and not sd card memory though.
There are a few apps that can MOVE most of your apps to the sd card. I don't think there is one that will install them to the sd card by default. They have to be moved there by you. You don't need an app to move your apps as froyo and gingerbread ROMs can do it for you if you have a sense based ROM. Other ROMs may also work this way but I am only familiar with sense based ROMs.
Go to your app drawer > hit "menu" button > select "remove app" > select "On SD card" tab. It will list all your apps that are on the SD card as well as those that can be moved. The ones with a check are already on your SD card. If you want to move one that is not checked just select it and then select "move to sd card". It will move the app then hit the back button. Repeat this process until you have all your apps moved that you wish to move.
If your ROM cannot do this on its own there is a varety of apps on the market that can do this. Just do a search for "app2sd" and you will see the multitude of downloads. Most are free or have free versions.
Again get well.
Thank you soooo very much. Your reply was very helpful. (I didn't want to brick my phone. )
Also, thanks for the well wishes. I am definitely getting better. The prognosis is very good, but chemo isn't much fun and really messes with your brain, to say least. Fortunately, I'm nearly finished. I wouldn't have even mentioned chemo in the first place but I didn't want anyone to think I was either too lazy to search properly or too dimwitted to understand all the information.
Thank you for your good wishes and also for your speedy and helpful reply.
Plus one to that dude. I wish you well in your recovery.

This is probably a pretty basic question, but I have not found the answer so far, so I will post here. I have moved a 32 GB phone from a previous phone (a rooted Epic 4G) where I had many apps installed onto the SD card. I am using the card, it works fine. I assume, however, that since I have installed none of my apps on this phone onto the SD Card, there are probably folders on the card that are not being used. I don't want to wipe the entire card, because of pictures, music, etc. Anyway, I am just posting here to ask which folders I can safely remove to free up space, as they are not being used on this phone.

You should be able to remove whatever folders you want. Most of your info is being store on the phones internal memory unless you choose otherwise. On my GN2 I'm only storing my pics, music and titanium backup info on my microSD card, everything else is on my internal memory. However you might want to make a backup of the microSD card on your computer incase you ever want to use it again on your epic before you delete anything.

I have a couple of questions about the above app.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with a 64GB SD card that has been formatted in the phone. The phone is not rooted - fully stock ROM.
1) As far as I can tell the AppMgr Pro III does not require root in order to be used - is this true?
2) If the above is true - Every time I select to Move an app it tells me that "This device does not have a real primary storage, or the primary storage is emulated Moving app to SD function cannot be supported by this device."
I have had no problems accessing music/movies or any other data stored on the card in the past. I have re-formatted the SD card and it has nothing on it at all - still get the same message.
Can anyone enlighten me as what I am doing wrong and how to correct if it is possible?
Thanks much!
Ted
I'm pretty sure jellybean doesn't support moving apps to the sd card, I think that feature was removed in ics. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Can move even system apps to sd card for rooted mobile phones?
to be honest this app is just a better ui app has nothing to do with anything
move apps which it shows is actually can be done easily going to app manager in device settings and if your device doesnot support it then it cant do anything ,and other features like freeze will take u to device settings to disable it ,no offence developer making fool of users ,we can do this by ourselfs in going to app settings in device settings
I know this has been asked before on older Galaxy's and I have read the thread. The answers there don't seem to be options on the Note 4 that I have and I am not sure if I'm missing something or if things are different. Basically I want to have apps from from the additional SD card I installed rather than taking up the 32gb internal memory. I've used App manager to move the apps to SD but the bulk of the apps data is still on the internal SD, which defeats the purpose. other threads have suggested apps that do this, but they seem to all require root so they are not an option. Am I missing something or is this really impossible?
Also, when I tried to format the SD card to see if that was a problem, it asked me for a pin. How do I know what this pin is? Thanks.
