[Q] Applications not installing in the external memory card in Samsung galaxy R

Hello Everyone,
I bought Samsung galaxy R (I 9103) some 10 days back. I am staying in India.I am trying to install application files directly to the external memory card but i am not able to find any option for that. The strange thing is that, the phone is using its 4gb (internal) usable memory as the SD card storage, so every time i use the option "Move to SD card" it simply moves the file to the phones USB storage. Also the memory card is shown as folder "External_SD" but no option for installing into that folder also. What i do every time is just copy the installation files from the usb storage to the memory card and use it. But this thing is also not working for every application. Can anyone provide any solution to this problem??
Thanks in Advance.....

1. Change /etc/vold.fstab file
you need ROOT access
change file in some other location with text editor or find one already fixed
replace existing file with root explorer or adb shell
reboot
2. Make a linux partition (ext4) on external SD - that could be used for link2sd or app2sd apps
and use google search - all answers already there

I think rooting the device will void the warranty and as i have bought this phone recently only so i am quite reluctant of doing that. Anyways thanks for your post...

Vodafone Smart tab 2 (Lenovo A2107A) - Swap SD

I couldnt find a dedicate thread for Vodafone Smart tab 2. So I guess I ll post this here maybe will help some people.
This tablet is basicaly a Lenovo A2107 (A2107A_A404_010_002_120913_VODA)
- with single sim slot ( call feature restricted - only data enabled) and 4gb storage (1.8 gb user available)
For root - you can use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044496
User isyrider managed to install recovery and pemergency rom unlocking the calling feature also.
I was looking for a way to swap the internal storage with the sd card so I could get more space if posible without installing a custom rom to avoid incompatibility issues that could appear. Directory bind can help with big game files like gameloft but those 2 gb are still not too much . I was unable to install N.O.V.A 3 because it requires 1.81 gb free on sd.
Anyway long story short . To swap internal memory with SD card you need to have root and replace your VOLD.FSTAB file from system/etc with the one I attached.
You need to have root .
Use any root explorer.
Unzip attachment
Rename your VOLD.FSTAB to VOLD.FSTAB.BAK
Copy my VOLD.FSTAB to system/etc
Reboot.
Check in settings, You will see your sd card listed as internal memory.
This combined with link2sd app will give you plenty of space to install anything .
Hope this helps .

Hi icrazy, I've tried this procedure but unfortunately, I wasn't able to copy your 'vold.fstab' to the directory 'system/etc'. I've rooted my unit before I did this. Now the unit cannot detect SD card. I cannot rename/copy/move any file on this directory. please help... How to restore it, Thank you in advance

Hello, I don't understand what happen. If you were not able to copy my vold.fstab what did you change ? I ask this because you must have done something if now is not working.
Anyway it looks like is a problem with your file explorer , make sure it has read /write rights for system files.

Can you please share some light on isyrider? what is that? where can we find it? Google search didn't seem to help me with this
Is there any way in unlocking the phone feature without installing a different ROM? The last time i did that, with another lenovo tablet, i lost my 3g capabilities , and honestly i don't want to repeat that thing allover again.

Thank you icrazy, working perfectly
I have now 2x Vodafone Smart Tab II 7" with 4 GB and 8 GB storage on internal memory

Hi i managed to use the vold.fstab and replace the internal memory with the sdcard but my problem wasnt solved because the tablet also has another partition 503mb of internal storage and when i install any app will install the apps data on that internal storage even if i have sdcard or internal memory as default write disk so after a couple of apps i have the out of space issue because the internal storage is full is there any way to swap the internal storage 503mb ( not the internal memory 1.85gb) with the internal memory or even with the sdcard this is really stupid why have only 503mb of internal storage if the apps save keep saving data on that partition
Regards

[Q] Save Apps Data to External SD card jellybean????

I have a samsung galaxy young s6312, stock android 4.1.2, rooted.
Now I know that i can move apps to sd card with the help of directory bind, link2sd, etc.
But i have only 300 MB free internal memory & I want to download Asphalt 7(1.13 GB)
So I dont even have enough free internal memory to download the game first and then move it to sd card.
I want to save the app data DIRECTLY to my external sd card, as I do not have enough free internal memory to download it to my internal memory.
Plz give me a detailed answer as I am a noob here (just got my first Android a month ago )
Plz help me as I want to play that game very much...............................................

Did you figure it out? I got the same issue.

Well, ayuro123, if u have got the same device as mine (GT s6312), with android 4.1.2 and your device as rooted, then you might try out these steps:
1. Format your external sd card with FAT32.
2. Copy everything on your INTERNAL sd card to your EXTERNAL sd card. You can use any file manager. I might recommend using stock one. This step is necessary, else you will run into problems with your apps.
3. Go to this link and follow the video tutorial:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf2n1LweU2c&desktop_uri=/watch?v=Mf2n1LweU2c
4. If u want the external sd card to be replaced with internal one permanently, then after following all the steps in the video, just click the 'At boot if init.d' button(after pressing the external>internal button). If u do not do this, then the swap will go away after you reboot.
Now, I might recommend you to have a Nandroid backup ready, in case anything goes wrong.
Also, if u cant have a nandroid backup, then I will recommend you to have stock rom and odin ready on your pc, in case you get stuck in a boot loop or any other ugly thing.
NOTE:
I haven't myself tried it. A friend of mine told me, who has tried it without any problems. TRY this IF and ONLY if you have a samsung galaxy young s6312 running stock android 4.1.2.

I use gl to sd, is an app to transfer all data app to sdcard but you need to install in the sdcard first

Ok, if you want to force move apps to SD card or you want to move their data to sd card then you have to root your device,
I m not sure about which root method will be successful, but try kingo root, v root etc,
Or wait for some dev to make custom recovery for this device,.
Good luck

Hello team,
I need to move my GApps to my sd card. When android was in kitkat it was able to move to sd card without rooting from android sdk, but when i upgraded it to lollipop that method is not working. Whenever i try to install new apps from play store its telling not sufficient storage.
Is there any way to move every app to sd card without rooting.
My warranty will be voided if i root my phone.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Suhas

Bro don't worry about warranty avoid just root your device then use app2sd application alike link2sd .later on you can flash stock rom via flash tool. This way is better for phone having less internal memory like ours
