hi
I just bought a O3D and I'm wondering how can I make the apps to locate all the app folders (folders created by each app in sd) with the external sd, so far is using the internal one but that's not good can't move everything to the phone
thanks in advance

Queations to all....
Should a App2sd app be able to work on our Notes???
The reason im asking is because I had issues getting my 64g card to mount (ended up having to flash a recent OTA update from Samfirmware.com). I then wanted to move some of my apps to the 64g card but App 2 SD from the market says -
"The device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary extremal storage is emulated. Moving app to SD may not be supported by this device. "
Is this normal? I have never come across this before on any Android device before! Or is it something to do with the 64g card? or the Notes file tree?

Yes it's normal. Samsung make some different approach here.
In my perspective when you used to choose "move to sdcard" in apps manager, the apps move from internal memory to internal storage (/sdcard).
(External microSD card is not on discussion so far, im only talking about tablet internal storage).
Now by default in Samsung devices all apps are going to /sdcard, so you dont have to move them beacuse the are alreday there.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The solution for me (I have white SGN 10.1 16GB) is use DirectoryBind, i can have 20+ GB of games in external microSD Card.

Think your correct, makes sense anyway!!!
Could you elaborate more on this directory Bind thing you mentioned? ??

DirectoryBind main feature is to link/bind folders with data that are in external micro sd card, to empty folders with the same name that must be in /sdcard/Android/data or /sdcard/Android/obb. So games and apps thinks they're using internal storage but in fact data is in external micro sd card. This way you save the 11 gb reserved for storage.

Hi guys,
Do you know how to set external sd card as the main location for data files? I'm looking for moving Android folder from internal memory to external sd card.

This should be in Q&A and the search button is your friend. With that said here is what your looking for. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857391 You must be rooted to do this.

Hey. I'm using zedomax's app2sd script. In my storage it shows that the script works fine, I.e the internal memory has been swapped with the external memory. But when I go to the application manager, it shows that I have only 11gb of space, I.e. the space of my internal memory. Even when I install apps from the play store, it gets installed only on my internal memory. When I go to the file mananger though, it shows that it is using my external SD card as my internal memory. Do I have to move any folder or change something for the app to get installed on the external SD? I'm attaching the screenshots.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi.
I just bought a new memory card but realized that it is not being used by the mobile instead my mobile is using the emulated sd card which was emulated from the internal storage. How do i delete that?l

Don't delete it. Very bad idea. If you want to store pictures/music on the SD card, you'll have to choose that within the apps you use, rather than internal storage. If you want to move apps to external SD, you'll need to be rooted and use an app like Link2SD.

I am rooted plus i have link2sd but it says app2sd is not supported because my device has an external storage emulated from the internal one
So how do i move apps
Hello everybody, after selected external SD card as default is there any option to move app data to the external SD? Or I have to do manually with a file manager? And is not possible to do it with all apps, is there a way to know which app data can be on SD card and which not? And did anybody noticed a slower device with SD as primary memory?
Settings/Storage
Under storage setting you should be able to choose default location to internal or SD Card

Unfortunately, there isn't a supported way to move apps to SD card. I have not tried out 3rd party apps from the Play Store either. That could work.
The default location set to SD card just ensures downloads, pictures, videos, music etc., have SD card as the default location to save and not for individual apps.
You might try Link2SD from the Play Store to move your apps to external sd. You'll need to add a second partition to your sdcard though first, but you can do that with another app called Aparted and you'll want to backup any data you have on your sdcard to your PC first too, as partitioning wipes everything.

Good luck!
