Hi guys,
i just rooted my htc Desire but i need some help regarding moving apps2sd. My memory is out of space but my 8 gb external sd is nearly empty. Can someone tell me what i need to do to transfer the apps and i searched around and saw that i have to separate the sd card into partitions. Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks

well, first you need to partition your sd card, there are several ways to do so :
- partition magic (for windows) : Google will help
- Gparted (linux) : also Google
- with a recovery (know that RA-recovery can do it, guess CWM too )
find info about the layout you need on the forums.. (probably one of the sticky threads at the top in 'Android Development')
once you completed this, use whatever A2SD+ rom you want, should work out of the box (if not, check the rom-thread, it WILL be in there..)
hope this helps you a bit what to look for (there are enough threads that explain everything..)

Hi, I've been trawling through the XDA archives and found noting that can directly help me so;
What I'm trying to do is move some [not all] apps to my SD card. My phone is GT540 running 2.1.
Ideally I would prefer to move the apps to the card on the device without rooting [I am able to root though] but as far as I know that's not possible, so I found Links2SD on market which has pretty good reviews but requires me to have a second partition on the card.
How would I go about doing this. If anyone has any better way of moving apps please tell, either way thank you in advance.
Hi Guys !
I have a P3110 Tab, - 8GB running Cyanogen mod 9.
Recently I bought a 32 Gb SD Card for my tab, and now I have a question.
All the Apps that use aditional data on the device, like Games or the TomTom GPS, put the extra files on the main memory.
I want to know if is possible to trick Android, so the Apps look first on the externalSD than the onboard memory.
For me it's a pain, because my tab has only avaiable almost 5GB to use. And this space is used by instaled applications.
If I could move all the aditional data to external SD it would be great.
Thanks for any help !

Hi Kan !
Thanks for the answer, but reading this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786014&page=5 )
I found that my problem is bigger than I thought.
What I want is to Swap externalSD to internalSD.
My GPS application and Games would benefit from it.
I'm taking a look on the thread that you gave, It's a good fix, but I want a cleaner one.
Thanks anyway !
I've found a fix to my problem !

Tried it on CM 9 and worked flawlessly.
Hi all,
I've just purchased a Samsung Tab 2 7.0 P3113 due to the fact that it has an external SD Card slot. I have found that I can not move any applications to the external card. This was one of the primary reasons I purchased the device. I have been using android devices for a while and my first Sony X10, was rooted and running custom roms within the first few weeks after I purchased it. In any case, I have read a number of threads, regarding this subject for the Tab 2 but I have not been able to have an installed app be moved to the external SD Card. Most post will say you have to root the device, (which I have) and use apps such as App2SD. I have even gone as far as loading a custom ROM, but no success. My last resort is to actually partition and repackage a ROM for an external 64GB SD Card and attempt to boot off of it so I will have more space. If anyone has truly been able to move an installed app to the external SD Card could you please point me in the right direction.
I would like some help on this too. But the silence is haunting.
Found this under a compilation thread that covers the 3113's and is down further on the same page in this forum.

I hope this helps and sorry for the re-re-re editing
AFAIK (and correct me if Im wrong veterans), is a defect of the OS not hardware. ICS and JB of the GT2's do not allow it as the internal memory is already labeled as sdcard. or that seems to be the prevailing opinion so far. I would like a work around but short of flashing a custom rom and/or kernel it seems unlikely to happen. Downside to that is some things don't work all the way in some roms. Ahh for the old days of my stock+ on my incredible. wait. Im still using it from back last summer and it works fine. TY wildstang!!

Hail Link2SD !!
Only way to move Apps to ExternalSD is using Link2SD for ICS / JB. I have done lot of research and there is no other way.However Link2SD does not move the data files and hence your internal memory will still be filled up as and when you install more apps but at slower rate.
If you want to install games like NFS-MW , Asphalt etc you have to use DirectoryBind tool to move the huge data files (More than 1.5 GB) to external card.
There is a nice tutorial how to use Link2SD here on the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326).
You can use ext4 partition as i found ext2 and ext3 were not being recognized by Link2SD. Just a pointer.
PS: ICS and above no longer support moving apps to SD card. If i am wrong experts correct me.
root is your best bet. check this link, use the script and follow the directions. this script worked wonders. my tab thinks i have 32 gb internal and 4gb sd.

Hi, I've successfully rooted my phone (Thl v11) using Bin4ry and now I'd like to use my external SD card as internal memory. Unfortunately the internal memory of the phone is only a bunch of MB and I can't download app even if I will install them on the SD.
Is there anyone able to help me?
I found some guides on this forum about how to swap SD and internal memory but the ones I found were always dedicated to certain phones.
I noticed there are no posts about this Thl phone on this forum, but it's kinda cool and cheap.
Really hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance,

Anyone?
Please...
i have the same problem me too please help!!
hi guys, you have to install link2sd first, so format your sd with 2 partitions, first one is a primary partition fat32 formatted, second one is a primary partition ext4 formatted (use a program on pc, i use gparted on linux). Now you can insert sd in android device and open link2sd, it asks you wich partition you want to use, choose ext4 so it says to restart device, restart and open link2sd, now you can link your apps (in configuration menu you can set autolink)

Use Clean Master
Hello I am looking for an up to date guide specifically for the Xperia E3 simular to the one in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2346389, although those images have been erased and I'm not sure if it still applies. Or if someone has a simpler or different way to do this?
Basically I would like to make use of my 32gb external sd card as if it where the main internal storage seamlessly as new apps are installed and data is downloaded etc.. without having to move each one with a move to external storage app and complicate things by trying to move around folders have them link outside etc..
Anyone have a simple method for this that they could explain to basically swap my internal 4gb storage with my 32gb external sdcard? (I am rooted and expect it would be needed)
Please let me know if you don't understand what I am asking so I can clarify.
I think I found the solution to anyone wondering, I will post my results once I have tried it.
