I might not be going about this the right way but I am having a difficult time trying to move apps to sd. The option is not there in the app manager. Is this possible with an unrooted device?

I have a US Cellular HTC Desire CDMA with ClockworkMod 2.5.0.9 and a properly formatted/partitioned ext4 SD Card, and I've been on every forum i could find including this one for about 5 hours, and maybe im just a total moron but i cannot get the Apps2SD figured out.
Heck, I can't even find it. They aren't transferring automatically, and I've read its supposed to be in Settings>Applications, but i can't find it, and can't get my apps to my SD Card.
I apologize that I'm an idiot, and thank you for your help in advance.
The option is indeed under Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications. Click the App you want to move to SD and the option should be there. Some Apps are not compatible with Apps2SD, however and cannot be moved.
I also remember hearing that there was a way to "trick" i guess you'd say, the phone into installing apps onto the SD and not know that it was even doing it.
Then you could have all your apps on the SD automatically and not have to transfer them one at a time
I don't really know about that trick other than hearing that it exists...apps2sd is really if I remember right what the .android_secure folder on your SD card is and its created everytime FroYo mounts the SD. It doesn't take up space unless you use it though.
Edit: there exists no such setting. Google left it up to the developer to allow his/her app to be moved to the SD card. That's the "official" answer. So until more devs add the code, it generally can't be done yet in most apps.

I had a problem installing new APKs onto my phone and tried everything to fix it. What worked finally was to uninstall some apps from my phone (since I guess the memory was too low). I am using a galaxy S which has at least 9 GB of free storage left. But it counts as an internal memory card and wont let me install apps to it. Is there anyway around this? I dont want to have to keep uninstalling apps or buy an SD card when I have tons of storage allready.
Sorry for my dummy question.....
I'm trying to install / move to the SD card some apps i've installed from market.
I used app2sd, 2 or 3 different developer, but no way to move......i've not rooted my device.....
A friend of mine said he is able to move apps directly from settins, application manager, but the only "button" i have are stop pregram and remove...
How can i do it???
Honeycomb does not include any form of apps2sd and theres no way to do it.
you have 16GB for apps as well, so theres no reason for apps2SD.
...ok...thank u very much!!!
i'm new in android world...when i was searching for the tablets many people says they will wait 32gb version, so i think maybe more memory is necessary...or not???
i saw that apps are very small...and i hope they will be always small.
No problem for video, or music, storage because i'm using an external HD...
Hi all, I just had a quick question about TiBu... since I just started recently flashing nightlies and what not I've had to rely on it to keep my apps safe, but I was wondering if it stores the location of the app and will restore it appropriately? I need some apps to stay on the sdcard because of very limited system storage with the roms I'm using. Thanks
edit: Well, in case anyone is wondering, it doesn't. Just did a batch restore on a fresh CM10 install and it put all it could on internal storage, however it did move a few that wouldn't fit automatically to the sdcard. It's too bad, I doubt it would be much work to save where the app was stored... oh well.
Any familar with the SiriusXM Player App know if there's a way to move it to the SD Card? I was reading that some Apps are coded in a way that won't allow movement from phone to SD. Is the SiriusXM App one of these, or is there a way around it?
Thanks,

What phone do you have (and what version android)? It will greatly depend on that info. It may be as simple as settings > applications > select the app > move to SD. If it is greyed out, usually that is because the developer has disabled the option.
There is an app called APP2SD that may help, but I doubt it. Most of the apps that can bypass that limitation will require root.

Some phones don't support moving apps to the SD Card (Galaxy S3) for example, although you can move any other files just fine
