Like the title suggests, I'm asking if it is possible to install apps on the storage of the Micro SD card.
To make my self clear, I'm not asking if an apk can be installed from the SD card.
Also, if its not possible to install apps on the storage of the micro SD card, is there a working way to swap the internal and external SD card?
I'm a note 2 owner so, i wan't to know if i'll buy my sister this HTC Butterfly if she can install >16GB worth of apps.
Thank you.
Without playing and modding stuff , NO ... and even when done there's high risk of data corruption
ya, tried that before in my previous S3, and data corruption is so easy to happen, i won't recommend to do it too...
So, its safe to assume that as of this moment, there aren't any way to successfully swap the internal and external SD of the HTC Butterfly.
Also, I cant install apps in the External SD Card Storage.

I'm running MiniCM6 1.0.0 on my Xperia X8 with Apps2SD working. I have moved many apps from the phone to the SD card. The problem is that the card's size is too small for me. I need a 4GB one. I've seen many threads that some guys had problems when changing SD cards.
If I copy all the files in my current SD card and transfer them to the new one, will I have any problems? My apps will still be there, right?

You don't say whether the apps on the SD card are in the FAT32 partition or in the SD-EXT partition.
The FAT32 area can be read and copied using a PC.
Should be able to backup the NAND and EXT in recovery. (My phone is a G1 but I've used CM roms for most of the past year. The backups created in recovery are available on the FAT32.)
Always make a good backup in recovery. When you try the transfer to the larger card, you can always go back if something didn't work quite right..
Sorry but I'm not familiar with these concepts, I'm still a noob
Can't I just copy the files of my old SD card to my PC and then transfer them to the new SD card?
How did the change of SD Card go?
Im about to do the same thing and was wondering i its possible to copy all contet from current SD Card to my PC and then copy it to the new SD Card.
my tablet has an internal and external memory, on my external i have CWM and other files i need but everytime i boot it goes to CWM cause my tablet reads off the sd, so i bought a 2nd sd card, will it be safe to use it and just swap back to the old one if i need to update cyan? or will it confuse the device?
If your tablet boots off of your external SD card I don't think you can remove it without causing some kind of error.
I would recommend moving whatever it needs to boot to your internal memory so you can freely switch out SD cards for media or whatever purpose you'd like.
I've tried searching for info about this and can't seem to find anything specific. My question is can the S5 be altered so that the internal memory is just memory and not recognized as an SD card? Can it be forced to use the external SD card instead? Will this affect the pre-installed programs? I've had another phone that used the internal memory like this and had custom ROMs that "removed" the internal SD card. I'm not willing to install a custom ROM or recovery right now, but I do have root access.
I've used the edits from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/mod-how-to-add-init-d-write-to-external-t2814733
Even with these edits, certain apps(TubeMate for example) still recognize that you're running KitKat and won't allow writing to the external SD card.
I've tried using the app Mounts2SD to move app data to the external SD, but it doesn't recognize the second partition of the SD card(I've tried Ext4 and Fat32), so either there's a problem with the SD card partitioning or the init.d section of the program isn't working correctly. I've used this app with my previous phone and it seemed to work fine. I appreciate any help or suggestions on this.
Hello guys!
I have a problem with my android phone Zte blade q mini. There are 2 memoryes, phone storage and internal memory. I insert sd card, but when i want to move apps to sd card, programs sd card supports as phone storage. How can i install apps from gplay directly to my sd card? The android is rooted. Also, how can i compound internal and phone storage if this is possible? Because i want to have just two memories, phone storage and sd storage. Is this is possible?
Thanks.
P.S. Sorry for bad english ;(
P.S.S. Happy new year

You should read this thread about moving apps to external storage:
Unable to move Apps to SD Card Samsung A20 on Android 10.
New phone and new SD. I just added an SD card to my A20. I formatted the SD. I have transferred files (varying types - videos, images, pdf, etc) to the SD. I can see the files if I connect the phone to my laptop. (My point here is that I'm pretty sure the SD card is OK.) Now I'm trying to move...

Sorry if it's not the answer you were looking for.
It's not a good idea; the SD card access speeds/transfer rates are slower than internal memory. The data buses don't support the speeds that given to internal memory.
Use internal memory for the OS, apps and the temporary download folder
The SD card as a data drive; all critical data, backups, movies, music etc go here.
Backup the SD card at least to 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other.
Use a fast SD card for best results.
