Is there anyway possible to move apps to your internal sd instead of external sd?

EDIT: Disregard. I was wrong.
I've tried this multiple times and it doesn't work. It sends them to my external sd no matter what. I have been searching everywhere and I don't think you can move them to internal sd. Thanks though.

Okay, you're right. They don't go to the internal sd. Thought I had read that they do, and in the app manager, it showed them as being on the 13gb partition. Just pulled my SD card, and the apps don't show up. So, it would be nice to know how to put them on the internal card.
Alright, making this happen involves editing /system/etc/vold.fstab and moving the .android_secure folder from your external SD to your internal SD.
See the thread linked below. Study the first vold.fstab file there and make the same changes, and move your .android_secure folder. I did this and now I really do have most of my apps on the internal SD.

Thanks for finding that. I appreciate it. I'm going to have to try it later on this evening.

I finally tried this and I could not get it to work. I tried a few times and nothing.

Worked for me. You can replace your vold.fstab with the first download in that thread if your edits didn't work. Move your app folder using a PC, reboot, and it should work. This just swaps how the system uses those partitions. It worked too well for me. I ended up preferring the default setup since I change roms so much.

Does this do a full reversal of the sd cards? The reason i ask is because i have a few games that have extra data (mostly gameloft games) that i would like to move to my external sd because they will only play if they are on my internal. I have a 16gb external that i would like to put the game data on.

Yeah, this reverses the cards so that the external sd is seen as the internal and vice-versa by the device. So any data stored by apps on one card would now go to the other. This is one reason I haven't continued using this mod, but it may work for what you want.

am i the only person thats having issues locating the external sd card? when i check my storage it shows up but i cannot find any of my files that are on the card
I read somewhere that it wipes the sd card but cant seem to find that info now. Can you pull your sd card and see if that is the case

It's in the usual place (/sdcard/external_sd). I have no problem accessing it.

Same here. Mine works like normal
Hey guys,
Somehow through me messing with my phone I made it believe I have 2 external sd cards as well as my internal memory. The internal memory is the same as my first sd card and the ext_sd is my actual internal. Would anyone know how I can go about fixing this? It's not crucial to my phone it is just inconvenient and confusing when I'm moving files around. I have attached a screen shot of my file sizes from titanium backup. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Mine looks exactly like this, you didn't do anything wrong that's just how TB is. I'm on version 5.5.1.2 so it's nothing that you did. I honestly didn't notice until you posted this and I'll forget shortly after too.

Did yiu get this fixed yet?
No I have not. I think it happened when I reformatted my sd card. I think it is just something I have to live with.

There is nothing wrong. Everyone's is like this. Internal and SD are the same thing depending on which app is looking at it. Recovery and root explorer call it SD and External SD.. It is internal and it is actually considered SD. External is your removable sd card.
I was running CM 10 (with link2sd and directory bind) and all of the sudden the external SD stopped showing up. I tried everything from rebooting to switching ROMs. Nothing helped. I tried a different SD card and it worked perfectly. It might be something on the second partition of it since I am using link2sd. I don't want to format it since I have a lot of important files on it myself. Has anyone else experienced this problem? And is there anything I can do other than format it?

Long story short I need to reformat my external card and do a whole factory reset on my S5. A while back someone told me I could copy the contents of my external card over to a folder on my pc then return the files after formatting the card. This did not work. I have backup pro which does its job well. It backs up everything on the phone itself not external card. I want to be able to save all apps, settings and data. When I try to backup to a cloud with backup pro I get an error message. Hope someone responds.
