Can't use external sd card for apps - LG Optimus 3D

I've got an external sd card with fourteen gigabytes free but cannot make apps install to it.
Is there a way on stock rooted uk gb rom to do so as if not I can't install any more apps. Seems kind of stupid of lg to not allow it so any help appreciated.

the app is the one that needs to be programed to be moved to Sdcard not the from or lg.
Many apps can be moved most of them which kinda apps You referring to that can't be moved?

I think you misunderstood me. I can move apps to sd no problem, the problem I'm having is lg sends apps to internal sd not the actual external sd card. As a result my actual sd card doesn't get used as it should for apps.

Some of the apps will not let you, the developer of the app has to allow it to be moved to SD card. Just curious how many apps do you have installed?

There's an app on the market called APP2SD, from Infolife (there's another one that does the same thing). It will semi-automate the process of porting over any app that can be moved to your SD card.
Keep in mind for some apps, not all of the data is moved to the SD card, only a portion is. Hopefully this should clear up some space.

I am on Beans 10
Try deleting the .odex file for the app in /data/app
Google the error. There's a simple fix for it. I simply can't remember what it is.
Got to reformat the SD card to FAT 32

More storage space on my SD card

Is there an app in the market that I can install that will give me more space on my SD card. Thanks in advance. Happy new year everyone!!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
Like erasing old app data and such? Htc has a built it one for that.
But also since Android is basically Linux, it should support compressed filesystem. If the kernel has it, perhaps there is a way to mount the sdcard in a special manner that will allow auto compression. But that is likelly to cause some performance issues...
I do not fully understand the scenario. Could you please provide some more details?

Yes my SD card is out of space I was wondering if there was a app that I could download from Google play that I could put my stuff from my SD card on it for I can free up some space on my SD card. Thanks in advance!!!

do you mean to transfer apps in internal memory?
if yes then you can do it from settings>manage applications(or something like that)
but if you mean to transfer data then use any file manager ,go to settings and check the option for mount internal memory as writable
(personally i am using es file explorer)
I was meaning transfer zip files,apps,etc from my sd card to another app to free up space on my SD card.Does anyone know of a app in the market that I could use to transfer zips,apps,etc to for I can free up some space on my SD card. Thanks

You can transfer your data to your computer to store it and free up space, but as for an application, I'm not aware of one that will free SD card space. Best wishes
