[Q] Installing apps to external SD - Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a rooted Tab 7.7 still running honeycomb 3.2. I have applied the permisions fix to solve the writing to SD card issue and this works a treat for using the sd card for file management but it still wotn let me install apps on the external card. is there something I am missing or is it not possible to enable this feature?
Many thanks for any help
Nick

I think we were able to do that with Gingerbread and nothing else since then.

Erm, but i have a sensation xe (as below) with ICS and i have a 32gb card with many apps intalled on it.
Surely there is a way we can make the os think the sd card can be written to with apps?

I use directory bind on my android devices to map folders to sd

but i dont understand - i have an htc sensation with ICS and this is fine with installing apps to sd - why cant i trick MY honeycomb tablet to do the same thing?
your solution, judging by the name, sounds long. It suggests some sort of mapping

Get link2sd from google play

[Q] SD card issues on CM7

I am having lots of trouble with CM7.....I have a G2x runing Cm7.1.0.1....Everything works perfectly expect SD card....Whenever I use the camera to take a pic I can't get it...it takes the pics and then deletes it in one minute.....I can't even transfer files on the sd card cuz it gets deleted by CM7.HELP ME OUT GUYS!!!!!
That's weird, I'm on the exact same rom and don't have this problem. Does the SD card work when using in other phones or other roms or even in your computer? If it doesn't, your SD card is corrupted.

Works on HTC hd2 and my HTC wildfire but has this aerodynamic issue on my g2x only.

Try reflashing the ROM and see if that fixes the problem. That is usually the best fix for major problems like this. Just make sure to do some sort of back up first so you don't lose any data.

Check out the Play Store. There are tons of apps out there that will allow you to transfer apps to your SD card. Titanium Backup has a batch setting to move all user apps to SD Card (not sure if you need PRO or not)
You are very confused about my question huh

Yep, I read a lot of stuff before making my first post and this was one of the things I wanted as well.

I've yet to root mine since there are conflicting reports on various different versions/roms with problems reading sd cards.
darkmans's 4.1.2 stock-deodexed for 8000 looks good but smaw's 8010 fix is only available for 4.1.1 :crying:

Storage issue on my tab 2

Hi my tablet is experiencing storage issues although I don't have much apps installed... I have moved all the photos, videos, music on my external sd card, removed many games, cleared all the cache and now there is less than 500mb space available which is not allowing me to install new apps or update the existing ones also, my device lags a lot.
Pls suggest me a way to free space I don't know where all my space has vanished, I will also like to inform that I'm running on official 4.1.2 release and the device is not rooted!
Thanks

Yes i had installed app2sd but removed it immediately when I found its no use on my tab...I havent installed any virtual ram apps.
What's that circle?
If all your stuff is on the external SD already, try formatting the internal.

That circle is chat head of one of my fb friend. I have factory reset my tab and now its all fine, this is the second time I had to loose all my apps and data and its headache to download alk over when u dont have wifi.... what is the problem anyway why the memeory gets filled so much when I know there isnt much user data. One of my friend said its a jelly bean memory leak issue, is it possible?
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda app-developers app
