NOW I watched the noob video.. I looked everywhere.. I have seen some things but nothing tailored to my phone. First of all, My External SD card is located in the Directory /mnt/sdcard/external_sd. I have not found anything that helps. I have seen some things about rewriting scripts and such, but not for my phone. I don't know if those will even work. My phone is rooted by Odin, latest ICS 4.0.4 build.
DOES ANYONE know of anything to help me.. the phone storage is only 1.2GB and the "USB storage" is only 1.2GB my External SD is 8GB I'll even go manual. If someone could point me in the right Direction I'll just manually move the apps to my External_sd directory. if that will even work that is.
please help and thank you for reading this and your time!

Hi All,
I'm not sure if Im overlooking something here, but I'm trying to flash a rom to my G2 phone.
I rooted it and confirmed it and installed Rom manager. I backed up my system. I download the rom to my PC and transferred it to the root of the SD card. But I go looking for it, and its not there.
If I browse my files from the PC as USB storage, its not there though I could see Windows transferring a little over 300Mb. I tried renaming it, setting it up in a different folder, nothing. It wont show up on the SD card. Its an HTC sense .zip file rom.
I'm stumped. I was happy everything was going as it should, then boom, I cant find it on the SD card. I even tried a different SD card.
Any opinions?
Thanks,
Chip

Hello.
this is my first time posting here but I need help. My SD card is not working with my galaxy s3. It knows its in there but I can't use it at all. When I go into my file directory to get to my main place were downloads/media and stuff is, this is my directory. /storage/emulated/0/ and all of my stuff is there. But I am out of space and I am a big gamer so that's why I have a 32 GB microsd. On the other hand, I used this same SD card for cm7 and cm10 encore (nook color) and it worked completely fine. Before I rooted and put in cm10 for my galaxy I formatted the SD card. I mean the phone knows its in there, because it says "available space: 29.72GB". And app2Sd does not work, as it says "not a real SD card or is being emulated" please Xda I need your help. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I've just purchased a Samsung Tab 2 7.0 P3113 due to the fact that it has an external SD Card slot. I have found that I can not move any applications to the external card. This was one of the primary reasons I purchased the device. I have been using android devices for a while and my first Sony X10, was rooted and running custom roms within the first few weeks after I purchased it. In any case, I have read a number of threads, regarding this subject for the Tab 2 but I have not been able to have an installed app be moved to the external SD Card. Most post will say you have to root the device, (which I have) and use apps such as App2SD. I have even gone as far as loading a custom ROM, but no success. My last resort is to actually partition and repackage a ROM for an external 64GB SD Card and attempt to boot off of it so I will have more space. If anyone has truly been able to move an installed app to the external SD Card could you please point me in the right direction.
I would like some help on this too. But the silence is haunting.
Found this under a compilation thread that covers the 3113's and is down further on the same page in this forum.

I hope this helps and sorry for the re-re-re editing
AFAIK (and correct me if Im wrong veterans), is a defect of the OS not hardware. ICS and JB of the GT2's do not allow it as the internal memory is already labeled as sdcard. or that seems to be the prevailing opinion so far. I would like a work around but short of flashing a custom rom and/or kernel it seems unlikely to happen. Downside to that is some things don't work all the way in some roms. Ahh for the old days of my stock+ on my incredible. wait. Im still using it from back last summer and it works fine. TY wildstang!!

Hail Link2SD !!
Only way to move Apps to ExternalSD is using Link2SD for ICS / JB. I have done lot of research and there is no other way.However Link2SD does not move the data files and hence your internal memory will still be filled up as and when you install more apps but at slower rate.
If you want to install games like NFS-MW , Asphalt etc you have to use DirectoryBind tool to move the huge data files (More than 1.5 GB) to external card.
There is a nice tutorial how to use Link2SD here on the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326).
You can use ext4 partition as i found ext2 and ext3 were not being recognized by Link2SD. Just a pointer.
PS: ICS and above no longer support moving apps to SD card. If i am wrong experts correct me.
root is your best bet. check this link, use the script and follow the directions. this script worked wonders. my tab thinks i have 32 gb internal and 4gb sd.

hey guys,
i have not found anything about my problem here or on google, so im asking and hope its not coverd anywhere else.
i read about changing the default location for camera/fotos and how to get apps to sd. but i want to set the sd card to default for anything. for downloads/music/pics/app related files.
i have 16 gb of internal storage and it fills up with all my music from doubletwist that i sync over airsync. maybe there is a way to get that done for the music alone. that would already help me. but a better solution was to get sd as default for anything.
when i think about my htc, i have all apps on the internal, thats ok. and all other files are atomatically saved to de sd card. i want it like that on my note 10.1
is there any possibility to get that done?
thx in advance guys

hey thx so much. i will give it a try in the next days.
but i noticed something else. when i look at my files from es file explorer, they all seem to be on my sd, but my settings app says they are on the internal storage, but maybe the script will fix that.
Your internal card is the sd as far as es is concerned. Youneed to either hit the star icon in the left corner to go to extsdcard or go to mnt>extsdcard to get to your external sd card...
Ah now I get it... Thing is: it was different on all my other devices... Thx again guys. It was a huge help

Hello I am looking for an up to date guide specifically for the Xperia E3 simular to the one in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2346389, although those images have been erased and I'm not sure if it still applies. Or if someone has a simpler or different way to do this?
Basically I would like to make use of my 32gb external sd card as if it where the main internal storage seamlessly as new apps are installed and data is downloaded etc.. without having to move each one with a move to external storage app and complicate things by trying to move around folders have them link outside etc..
Anyone have a simple method for this that they could explain to basically swap my internal 4gb storage with my 32gb external sdcard? (I am rooted and expect it would be needed)
Please let me know if you don't understand what I am asking so I can clarify.
I think I found the solution to anyone wondering, I will post my results once I have tried it.
