So, i can set this up to give you guys an option during rom flashing to have a Apps2sd native option during the flashing process. What it will do is while the rom is flashing in CWM, it will ask if you want all apps installed to sd or if you want them installed to internal memory. Would you guys want this included?

Isn't it quite dangerous installing apps to SD card by default? There are a lot of them that may create problems when running from SD card. Plus I found that some apps would not install to SD at all (Google Maps as far as I remember, and some others.) They can be moved to SD later, but direct installation to SD just fails.
This is only for aftermarket app installs. Either 3rd party or market.

Google Maps or Youtube (another one that would refuse to install directly to SD) are actually aftermarket apps. When I was moving them to SD to clean up some internal storage I had to uninstall them first (with TitaniumBackup), then reinstall to phone memory from the market, and only then move to SD.
It would be neat to have a simple program that would switch the setInstallLocation on demand. I wish somebody would write such app.
I think that would be a great option for roms on the sgs4g.
I like this phone and it has great potential but internal storage/app management will always be an issue. It would be nice to automatically move third party apps to SD during setup. Most run fine from SD and the few that don't can be moved to internal easily enough after rom install.
Thanks Krylon for working on this btw...

I think it is a great idea. Maybe making available an option where you can turn it off and on?
I don't think it's a good idea,i would like to be able to choose for myself which apps are installed where, some apps can be installed to sd card, but then you lose widget options.

You could still just choose save to internal, then move the ones you want later manually. Or the other way around. Move all to external and move them back if you want.
So my vote is, yes please. ;-)

I think this is a great idea and for those of you that don't want this on your phone remember he said that this is only an option, he never said it was mandatory if he added the option.

I would love this option. Just so I understand, I'm a little slow, would market still ask where we would like to install, and if so would the market think it was installing to the internal when it was actually installing to sd card. In other words would we still continue to choose to install to internal mem, but in actuality it is installing to sd. My brain hurts.
Long story short... yes, I would like that very much thank you.
As far as I understand the process, with setInstallLocation set to 2 all you programs will go the SD card by default. No questions asked. You'll have to move to phone manually the ones you don't want on SD.
Some programs will fail to install completely. Seems like all Google apps do that, at least for now. You'll have to revert back to default install location to install such apps.

OP by Krylon
What this means is.
When you are in CWM recovery, and going to install a new ROM, CWM will ask you where you want the Apps to install. You can choose internal, or external SD. Then CWM will finish the install of the ROM placing the apps where you tell it. I am not sure which apps will have problems or not running from the external SD. But when it happens and if you run into problems with certain apk's on the external SD, you can just pull the apk and move it back to internal.
That is how I understand it anyways.
Oh, if that is all it is - where to place programs *during* ROM installation - it's perfectly fine then. I thought that during ROM flashing the option to install all apps afterwards would be preset either this or that way.

I was thinking the same thing. erp de derp!
I would be curious to see/know how many apps would be rejected this way. Which would be more work, deleting and reinstalling X # of apps or moving X # of apps to the sd card. Still, either way my vote remains to have the option.
I second the motion. Definitely yes!

Can anyone explain why TouchWiz does not like to run apps that are on your SD card? I've been replacing it with ADW, but I'd rather not so that I can get a good feel for the UI.
?? I have not run into this issue. Almost all my apps are installed in the SD card, and they run fine on TouchWiz. In fact, when I install an app from the market, it automatically installs on the SD card.

You need to do a factory reset on the phone, then reinstall all of the apps and they won't disappear.

That worked perfectly
I have a Motorola triumph cell phone, which is on the stock rom that came with the phone. All I did is root it, put clockworks recovery on it and add a 32GB micro SD card in the micro SD card slot. I am getting two messages on the phone -
1- Text message memory full. Incoming message rejected due to full memory.
2- Low on space. Phone storage space is getting low.
I have cleared all the cache, text messages, and e-mail from the phone. That still did not work. So since my phone is rooted I installed an app that would let me move apps to the SD card. I moved all the apps that I could to the SD card. What do you know that still did not work. After doing all of this I am still getting the two messages. I do not want to factory reset the phone and loose everything on the phone. Right now the memory is like this -
1 - SD card total space 29.71GB Available space 16.96GB
2 - Internal phone storage available space 28.39MB
What else can I do to clear up more internal memory on the phone?
Apparently this is a problem with other people also and the only way around this is to install after market firmware like CyanoGenMod. I use Minimum triumph myself.
What is the best rom for the phone? I am reading that with some roms some stuff does not work. I want everything to work like stock rom. Is there a good rom that has everything working?
You can factory reset your phone. That will fix it.
You can root the phone and delete the .alog files (those are the ones that keep building and take up all the space).
There are a couple other options as well, besides flashing a custom ROM. It has been discussed multiple times over at androidforums.com. I would recommend going there to get the details.

If you are using the original software that came with the phone, there are "a log" files that will build up and need to be deleted. I would recommend installing a customized rom to help free up some space and performance, as well as a lot of other cool features to make the phone better. Stock just won't cut it on this phone.
Space Problem and ROMs
My sister had a the same problem with her Droid Incredible. It went away for a while after a factory reset but came back within a month.
I'd suggest looking into a good ROM even if you weren't having this issue. Mantera over at android forums has a really nice CM9 alpha (it's what I'm using) and it's pretty great if you don't mind not having HDMI or camera (that will hopefully get fixed soonish). If you're cool with CM7, g60madman picked up where Whyzor left off and is providing regular updates so far to address bugs.
I'm confused. Why did you get an app to move apps to SD? The stock rom supports app2sd already. Just go to settings and apps. Click an app in the list to see the properties page. Should see a button to move to SD. Not all apps can be moved but the huge ones usually can.
Why?

Because many App2SD apps allow you to do batch moving, where you can select what you want to move. Then, all you have to do is press OK and tap Move to SD Card and press back when done to move to the next app from the checklist you basically just made. They also may support extra actions, such as warn you if moving an app to an SD card will disable any of its functionalities.

Normally you can clear caches and it will work otherwise uninstall the app and reinstall. If you have to uninstall make a data backup first. What it equates to is the app dev didnt put a call in to remove the app prior to installing the new version. Ive run into this with Plague Inc. and Ive sent a bug report to the app dev. I suggest the same for whatever app you are having issues with.
I've tried the whole "clear your caches and fix your permissions" thing, and, at least from what I can tell, you can't install anything through Play/Market unless you have at least ~55 MB of space available (even if you are installing to microSD or replacing a currently installed app). I'm not sure quite where the threshold is, but it is somewhere around there.
I can't answer "Why?" as it is in Google proprietary code and I don't have the source available.
I have tried clearing caches and dalvic.. also reinstalled gapps.. can't get it to work..

Have you cleared data from Google Services Frameworks? That has fixed every market issue I've ever run into. If jeff is saying it's coded to not let you install with under 55mb of space left I believe him though.
I can't be sure it's "coded that way," but I haven't found a way to get Play/Market to install when I get down somewhere below 60 MB free space, including flashing a new ROM, clearing cache, fixing permissions, reinstalling gapps, and probably a few other things I've tried. There are definitely days when I wish someone would prove my theory wrong!
I believe Jeff no doubt but I have 66.1mb available..

My Apps2sd (in ROM toolbox) was set to install to SD card automatically and as soon as I changed it AUTO (location) problem was fixed.
Anyone know how to install Apps to the SD card by default? :S

My husband's Galaxy S 4G is having the same problem with erroneous memory capacity error message.It seems happen after he adds an app. And we are not sure why the error message goes away WHEN it does go away. Can you clear the Google Services Frameworks without removing important info he has put in the apps, or will it delete any apps?. Sorry for my ignorance of the Android system.

If you're husband's phone is rooted then you can always back up his apps and app data with titanium backup or you can make a nandroid backup through cwm that way in case anything goes wrong you have a backup to fall back to

I was having trouble installing UberSocial. I could download and install every other app (smaller and bigger in file size) except for UberSocial.
Tried the Lucky Patcher method and worked like a charm.
BTW, I should mention I have a rooted S3 but found this thread via Google .
The Jelly bean rom takes up a lot internal memory, plus it installs most of the apps from the market to the internal memory instead of SD card. I don't why, maybe the devs can answer this. I had to remove the xbmc app (97mb) in order to install anything else.
Hit the thanks button if it helps. It's my motivator to be more helpful.
I use Titanium to move all data apps to SD, I also use History Eraser before updating apps so that at all times I have over 110MB free on internal mem.

There is also a way via terminal to move cache to the sd card. It's been a while since I've needed to do that and that was on GB. If anyone is interested in the how, let me know.

Ive been working on a universal script to move stuff from internal to external, so far i have it down for my s3 and i could do one personally for the sgs4g but i want to make it universal since ALL ICS AND JB roms do this AND your storages are different when using stock compared to AOSP
Ok well i've tried for hours now.. using Astro.. ES explorer and even the native my files application and i cant seem to move pictures from my phones storage to my EXT SD card... and something else i noticed.. is when i adjust my cameras settings to save to my external SD card it gives me an error as well but i can still read files off of it.. so whats wrong?
i'm running Clean rom 5.0
it worked before on Stock and Liquid smooth RC7 and RC8
no one? come on...
All I can say is try a clean install see if that fixes it, probably not that helpful but worth a shot.
You may want to backup everything to a computer in case this sd card fails on you. You should reformat the sd card (to Fat32) and see if this resolves your issue.

ok i have a samsung galaxy stellar / sch-1200 from verizon, cant find a forum on it so i figured this would be closest hopefully.....
it reads internal storage as "sdcard01" and i also have an 8gb external sd card. the phone itself does not have an option to move app 2 sd card in the application manager.
ive tried app's via the playstore and still no avail. app2sd and others..
my question is.. is there an option somewhere in the phone that i cannot seem to find or a way to get it to default save items/pics/mp3s/ect to the actual sd card??
ive looked all over to try to find out some similar problems and cant seem to find any info besides actually swapping the external to internal and vice versa using ADB.... i do not have this phone rooted and wont until warranty is up. if anyone could point me in the right direction or inform me on how to change the storage settings id really appreciate it.
thanks in advance.

I don't know. Maybe it is mounting as read only. That is what happens on the xoom

shouldnt be.. i can move individual files that i have downloaded, its the weirdest things ive ever came across..
my og droid was rooted and my htc inspire, they both even before rooting had the option to move apps to the sd card. the phone has 2gbs of internal space so its not like its worse than the previous just blows my mind and i have no idea how i could maybe change it to having the external card being the primary storage. under Astro it says there are 2 sd cards... i know its thinking that the internal storage is the first/primary card. just dunno how to get it to switch over i guess..
thats the best way i can think to describe the situation..
For moving pics and music and such I would think a file browser like es file explorer or something would let you move from one storage to the other. I dunno that you would need root access for that. But apps are a different story.

yea the file parts im not real worried about. i am able to move them and everything.
i might be not able to really explain it the way im wanting to. its reading like there are 2 sd cards when there is only one in the phone. so the primary storage is to the internal (fake sd card) so it wont move apps to the sd card to free up internal space. thats my assumption anyway. so i thought there might be a way to change the primary storage but i havent found a way to. if that makes sense.
yeah there are external2internal swaps or whatever but I'm pretty sure you're gonna need root and custom recovery to do anything like that.
