[Q] Any ROM or MOD supporting external SD card for app2sd

I am almost running out my internal 8G memory on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, but the 32G ext SD is still sleeping there....
Anyone know whether there is a ROM can support app2sd on external SD? Or, is there a good way to realize this? (I tried several solutions posted on internet but unfortunately no luck to get it solved...)
Thanks a lot for help.

try link2sd, I think you can make it easily in that way~
good luck~

Link2sd didn't work for me. It gave me an insufficient space error.. .with 3gb free. Do I need an ext2 partition on my sd?

I would also like to know if there is any way to move apps to sd . With the release of nova 3 I am almost out of space the game is amazing but it requires 2gigs of space to install. Any suggestions will be greatly appretiated.

This link is unreachable. It just takes you to the home page of kaskus with no easy to find that post.

I found the answer on a Chinese site. ..you do need to create an ext2 position on your sd card first (which makes complete sense ). I've got a 32gb card coming so I'll try it on that.

Just download a app call GL to SD in the playstore for free. It's the best app that will free up space by putting your games to the ext. sdcard. Try it out.

Slow SD card read

Is there anyway to speed up SD read speed? It takes forever

Backup internal and external sd cards and format them.
Make .nomedia files in folders that you don't want to be shown in gallery.
It helped on my device.

check that folder, on internalSD: /mnt/sdcard/Android...look for any pics(*.jpg/jpeg).
erase them, after you backup if need, and reboot.

there isn't any pic in my "mnt/sdcard/Android" directory..but i'v slow scanning in ics...

I just found another thing and the card is loading faster. I used Hide it pro app but when I changed rom everything was gone but the folder stqyed on SD. I had poweramp set up to read programdata folder (the one where does media hide) so hidden songs showed up in poweramp.after deleting at least 4 folders called program data (at least 500mb each) SD loads faster

Also, read buffer size do affect reading speed as well as writing in some case - by default, 256 KB buffer for some official ROMs, and 1 MB for CyanogenMod.
BTW, UHS-1 (Ultra Class 10) speed may also be the best bet for external SD, since if you try to move some apps into EXT2/4 partition on microSDHC/SDXC, slow SD card will only make the apps naggy and complain of abysmal read speed. There's also the warnings about THIS in some app2sd apps and/or data/cache mover apps.

How about Class 6 SD Card.
I have 16 GB one from Samsung.
Seems like you are familiar with those things. I have swap partition on it and it's not perfect but it's big unlike the internal swap partition which is 130 MB.

How can i find out my sd's class? And i've never did swap thing because it says that it shortens sd life

There must be a number on your card.
That is your class.

Cool Tool

Moving apps to SD with Jelly Bean.

I just bought a Droid RAZR M. This is my first jelly bean phone. I was wondering if there is any way to move apps or appdata to my SD card. I have a 32 gig SD card and j feel like j can't even use it. The 3gig partition for device storage is not nearly enough. Thank you.

it is easy to swap the external memory with internal memory

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)
