[Q] installing apps in memory card - General Questions and Answers

hi guys while i am installing apps they are getting installed in the phone memory plz tell me the way to get then installed in my memory card

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > [App you want to move] > Move to SD card
Simple as that, although not all apps can be moved, depending on what ROM youre using.
Cyanogenmod 7 also has a setting to automatically install all apps to the SD card, but that really isnt always the best option.

You need the App 2 SD app.

[Q] Urgent help needed !!!

Hello friends ...
I love this mobile ... http://www.gogi.in/micromax-a90s-review.html
And it have sufficient hardware capabilities to run high end games ...
I want to buy this but only problem is the memory...
It have only 1GB internal storage for installation, while HD games are having size more than 1GB ...
Is there any way to install 2GB games on it ...
I don't want to root ... but if there are no options left then I will do rooting ...
Can I hope that after rooting ... I can install games directly on SD card ??? without any issue ???
You can install them on ur external card with apps like link2SD, Rom Toolbox. You will have to root it
Edit - actually, if im not mistaken, you can install the games directly to your external sd without root

Thanks for reply... my dear friend ... but I want to know that is this 100 % possible to install big games (greater than 1GB)directly on external SD card after rooting ???
(quote from website: "internal storage for app is around 1GB free. Apart from that there is another storage of 1.9GB which remains untouched and you don’t have an option to save new apps on the internal storage by default.")
I can't understand it because I am new to android and having no knowledge of it ...
Can you explain this quote ???
I see no reason why it wouldnt be able to do that.
That quote says in other words, the phone has 3 gigs internal, its partitioned, the 1 gig is for "system" and the other 2 gigs are for you to use as storage, or atleast thats how it works with my galaxy pocket.
I was told the game storage works like this, the game data can be stored in the external memory and the games "launcher" will be stored in the 1 gig partition of the internal memory. The launchers are usually 10 - 25 mb.
I really hope you understand this:thumbup:

Hi... thanks ,but still confuse;
Can I confirm that after rooting I will install games/apps directly to SD card ???
Yes.
There is a very good chance that u can install games directly to external sd without rooting also.

Which app you try to download and you get an error?
Which phone you using and what‘s the total internal memory?
link2sd
can you try for app link2sd?
Try data2sd.
Or link2sd.
Just make a partion on the sd.
And then flash it script that supports your Rom.

First root your mobile and move apps to SD card with links2sd.
You can also uninstall unwanted system apps with this app once you root your device.

Use TITANIUM BACKUP to uninstall any app you don't use. Be carefull! To prevent any problem, do a BACKUP of that app before deleting it.

Ynt: copy apps to sd
If you want to root and maybe flash a custom rom, you have to look for the programs that appropriate your phone and android version. Be careful when doing this procedures. Your warranty might be useless after root. Find applications suitable your phone.

I think Titanium is good. The apps above is ok
Ýou can use Apps2SD or. For rooted android phones, Links2SD which allows ýou to move more apps to SD card than Apps2SD.

External to Internal sd swap

MUST BE ROOTED
Updated 8/17/13
This is for everyone that wants more internal memory for apps and games (that's if you have a large ext-sd like 32gb or 64 gb). I have noticed alot of people need the app to sd feature but can't use that anymore because google seems to think we don't need it LOL. Please follow all instructions.
EDIT: I found a video that will show you how to swap your apps and games to sd and it's very simple. You will be able to get your internal space back and play games and use apps stored on extsd.
EDIT 2: trazfer says that the foldermount app isn't very user friendly and he recomends using GL to SD (root) from the play store here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp
I'm leaving the YouTube video below for people to have two options which ever one works out best for that person.
Thanks to trazfer for the report :thumbup:

I have noticed alot of people need the app to sd feature but can't use that anymore because google seems to think we don't need it LOL. Here's what I did! I went here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849 and downloaded this app to get init.d support (must have init.d support). Install busybox by Stericson from the play store and run busybox let the app load after smart install is loaded choose install and then normal install (do not choose smart install) then reboot. If you have the Uni-init v1.0.apk downloaded from the first link I posted just install it run the app choose activate when finished choose verify it should say success then just reboot. Go to second link below and install the Root External 2 Internal SD app and run it. Please follow all the instructions on play store for that app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext Please follow all instructions. After doing all of the above you can use your external sd as main storage. Enjoy

Now that we have CWM and a functional ROM can we move apps to the sd card
idk im wondering if this is possible ?
GL to SD
Some apps do work where you can transfer to sd card but some apps you can't, it's pretty cool for big games like asphalt
is this applicable in SM-T210? coz mine says my device doesnt support app2sd.
Moving app to SD functionality is built into my GTab 8.0

Sir. i have found a way to fix this issue that doesn't let us move apps to SD. i have found this Foldermount application which puts the Data or Obb files or anyfile in my Internal Storage into my SD Card Storage. if you still need a fix to this issue i may upload it here.

Please do, this would help the community.
Foldermount is in the play store.
But if you need to mount more than 3 folders, you will have to pay
Still a great app. (I paid for the app)
