I recently installed this ROM and i have to say its very good! but theres this wired problem. I used titanium backup to restore some of my apps. i also downloaded some apps from the market. for apps that i restored, most of them i used link2sd to link to sd card but some (not all) of the apps that i downloaded via market are unlinkable via link2sd and it says there "on sd card" instead of the usual "linked to sd card". i used root explorer and found out that these apps were located in "/mnt/asec". while those linked with link2sd were linked elsewhere (eg:apk:"data/app", dalvik cache:"data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@@[email protected]", lib:"data/data/com.something/lib/") why is this so?
any help would be appreciated!!
Those apps are using native froyo apps2sd. You should be able to go to Manage applications & move them to internal memory (assuming you have enough internal memory) & then use link2sd.
Thx for replying!! I had a suspicion that it was native froyo app2sd but now I'm sure!! Btw it doesn't require an extra partition rite? So it is just being moved to my main fat32 partition of the SD card rite? Thx for answering my noob qn!!

Yes, native froyo apps2sd apps are stored on the main fat32 in the .androidsecure folder.

I had a android file explorer that when you installed an apk from the sd card it gave you an option to install to internal or external. Does anyone know of the app or any app that does this? thanks.
i dont know anay file explorer that can do that, but if you are using gingerbread you can just go to settings and apps and then move to the sd, otherwise of course just with app2sd
there is a way where you can make apps install by default on sd card,one way is you can use apps2sd application to move apps from internal memory to sd card
another easy way is rather than moving, just install it on sdcard itself

Ok so i finally installed kyrillos' rom 9.3
now i've searched around for how to install apps in SD and came across the app2sd scripts which are a little complicated then i thought. How can i install apps in my SD , is there any easier way to do that? like an app?
Also i would be installing quite a lot of stuff like 100+ games / programs etc. Got a 16 gig card so will be installing lots of apps. Will that make the phone slower or something like that?
I would appreciate any help i can get
You can try Link2SD. It's an app which provide the same feature as App2SD. I never use it though.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=fr
There is also the G3MOD kernel which provides a customizable App2SD.
Thanks alot i'll try that out
Kyrillos already have hybrid app2sd which instal app directly to Ur sd card partition.. And consider it asp internal memory..
If u want to dump Ur data also in sdcard them instal kmapp and choose data also to be gone in sdcard... And enjoy

Hi!
I recommend you use Link2SD also. In options of the program mark checkbox "Auto link", then all newly installed applications will be automatically moved to SD card. Useful feature Link2SD is moving to SD widgets.
Thanks all of you guys.
I got apps2sd kyrillos' script working finally. The partition in the memory card was causing problems. Sorted out by making partition via the CWM.
working great now. Oh and btw there is an awesome ap called ZDbox which can help you move apps to the memory card aswell which is kinda neat too. But still i prefer kyrillos' awesome script which automatically does that. I had like 150mb and i install some programs and games and all it took was like 5 mb xD

What about widgets? Can you move them with Kyrillo's script to sd card?
can you give me a guide to what you have done? also on kyrilllos' 9.3, installed some apps and running out of internal memory. i think my partition isnt working ( 4gb card, 1gb partition) properly.....

The apps2sd makes the phone think that external sd partition is part of the internal drive, so i assume it should make it work.

Backup your data from SD card, then format it from the phone. Then reboot into recovery menu (CWM) and scroll down to miscellaneous and from there use "make a partition" command and select 1 gb
simple as that. Then use the instructions given by kyrillos on this thread to install apps2sd script

i suggest apps2sd V2 unless you have a class 6 memory card.
My phone,Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 is telling me that it's internal memory is almost full but there is still 18.29MB.
Why is this happening,Is there any solution???
Having only 18.29Mb left does sound "almost full".
Move some apps to SD and free the space.
life!
Still a nooby i dont know how to move apps to sd can u please guide me,and if i move apps to sd is it risky in any ways
You can do it easily with app like App2SD (You can find it in store).
It is safe and quite easy.
Use search in Play store, i cannot post it in here.
You can use Link2SD - its an app to move other apps between SD and internal memory - it can use internal App2SD method or you can create ext2/3/4 partition on the SD card and use it as expand to internal memory. Nice and easy to use app.
Use ext partition. Use link2sd or S2E
Just search for a tutorial in google. Is a good way to devices low-end
Sorry for bad english!
I think its not necessary.... Galaxy Mini comes with Android 2.2 froyo by default. If ur running any Android OS after Froyo or still on it, then,
Go to Settings > Applications > (choose the one that's too big in size) > If it supports moving to SD Card option would be present there to move it ...just click it...
Do for other apps if necessary..
Hope it helped

No prob thanks lot
+1 for link2sd, but it requires rooting. I'm using it too on a similar low end android phone(the 5570i variant). But I recommend the ext2 filesystem for the sd card's second partition. It's the best for that purpose. But if you dont want to root, there is still the builtin moving to sd card option in application preferences.

Use App2SD
Use AppMgr III previously known as App2SD, search Google Play for it. Pretty cool app.
Other option is, partition your SD Card and install app there using Link2SD as App2SD won't move all the apps and their data to memory card. However, formatting SD Card and using Link2SD to install all apps to the newly-partitioned SD card is a different story altogether.

So, we need to root first?
dont work
Re
nop nop work "AppMgr III (not pro)"
I'm going to try of partition as you say the "SD Card". Then, it can be simple with an app as "gl to sd" ... to mount partition/s of the inserted sd.
But before, since is the well-read one of @kakolin (in.htcmania) I will try with "Directory Bind" (com.vanpit.android.directorybind id in store). Probably it isn't necessary to make partition.

Hey all,
Does the Z3 support installing every app fully to the SD card? I ask because 16gb seems a bit limiting if you can't fully use the SD card.
I just came here to ask the same question. In Kitkat 4.4.4 (and maybe other versions?) the 'Move to SD' is disabled/not there and it is up to the phone manufacturer to enable/add it. There is no option in settings on the Z3 to move app data to your SD card. It is very easy to enable apps to be able to use the SD card, either manually or using an app such as SDFix (but you will need to be rooted).
Here are some questions I would like answered if anyone knows:
There are folders on the SD card for most apps in /Android/data/ for example, 'com.microsoft.skydrive'. That same folder is also in the same place (/Android/data/) on the phones memory and contains data for the app. Can that just be moved with a file explorer to the SD card? If so are there any other steps to take?
Is there an app to automate moving data or a way to add the button in settings, apps?
Cheers
Wait till 5 ! It's was disabled is kk
You can use FolderMount to transfer game data to external storage (sdcard)
I use it and it is really essential to me
installed 4 big games
