Move apps to SD Card - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can't really find some solid info on this subject. Some say you can only when rooted and others say no period. So can you guys who have had this tab for a while tell me which one is it?

Not posible, the only way is to swap the sd card
Sent from Tab 2

it is possible, but it does require root. (speaking from a P3110 perspective)

You can use folder mount, but like every option (as far as i know), you need to be rooted. I use it because it is the only option i have found to move large game data while running 4.2.2 ROMs. If you are on stock i would root and use one of the mentioned options, like the sdcard swap script( what i used on pre 4.2x like stock firmware or aokp), or an app like gl2sd ,or whatever its called.

External SD Card dead after root used ClockworkMod 6.0.1.0

Hi All,
I'm a newbie! I've rooted my Samsung Galaxy P5100 using ClockworkMod 6.0.1.0 via Odin3 1.85. I follow instruction at link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722063
But after done, my tablet can not recognize the external sd card.
How can I fix this problem ?
Thanks!
try switch back to Stock ROM,
there's no advantage using custom XDA rom when you still have the warranty, unless Samsung doesn't give firmware upgrade anymore

I think that using tablet without the externel sd card is no big problem, but if have the way can recovery it is the best
Now, I'm enjoying with ROM JB 4.1.1 update to 10 August. Basically, most of all are working smoothly.

What model of the Tab 2 do you have? I have the Tab 2 7" 3113 model and my external SD card still fucntions just fine after rooting and putting CM10 on it. I would take your question to the thread you got your CM10 from and post it there for help.

The sdcard might be corrupt, or it might be a problem with your tablet. Try putting it in a USB microSD reader. (they can be had for $2 online if you do some bargain hunting or $5 from radio shack--save yourself the angst of trying to mount USB storage and just buy one) It's also possible, though very unlikely, that it somehow got broken during some sort of hard reset or reboot, and you'll need a new one.)

I think that my external sd card is no problem. Because, when i boot tablet into clockworkmod recovery mode, the system still detect and read data on it. I don't understand what is the problem !!!

must be caused by your custom ROM,
please note almost every custom rom in XDA is developed by inexperienced wannabe hackers (some devs even doesn't have decent coding skill), & they deploy the rom without extensive testing, & they also not responsible if your devices bricked! LOL
pidgin2012, try reformatting your external sdcard from CWM or PC.
Rotundjere, that's not entirely true. Devs will usually tell you how well a ROM works. For example, CM9 is labeled as an RC, meaning that they tested it and everything works. However, CM10 is labeled as a preview, meaning that some things may not work & you try it at your own risk. For the most part I have found custom ROM's to be more stable then their stock equivalents.

Thanks for your advise! I will try to format sd card on my PC.
The cause make external sd card failed, the reason is that Clockworkmod 6.0.1.0. Because after flash clockworkmod, i have boot tablet to original rom, the system has noticed that can not read from external sd card

Well that's funny as every rom I've run from xda works better than stock roms made by the oems so some of them obviously know a thing or 2

you can't compare xda custom rom made just by one person (mostly don't know how to code, & not test it properly) compared with the official stock rom, it's ridiculous

I'm not. I've used roms from various different devs and they have always been better than stock. All the devs I've dealt with use testers before mass releases and they are always up front about any bugs that may be in the rom. Frankly my phones stock rom had more bugs than the custom roms ive used. I've doubled my battery life, have more customization options, increased performance and have fixed some major bugs from the stock rom that never should have been allowed to leave the factory, and took 6 months for motorola to fix. Xda devs fixed it in 2. So tell me again how they don't know what they are doing

Need help getting the APP2ExtSD2 mod to work on my Verizon SG3?

I'd love to be able to swap the way the phone sees internal and external SD so I could have 32gb instead of 16gb.
I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849861 and
this: http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-tutorials/app2extsd-how-to-save-apps-to-external-microsd-for-u-s-canadian-galaxy-s3/
on both Bean's #10, and CleanRom 2.0 both of which support init.d,
The result: The external SD card became the ONLY SD card, and the internal card was invisible. The hack is supposed to swap them.
Has anyone had any success with this hack? If so, which ROM and kernel were you using? I'd love to get this working.
I'm not an expert on the diff roms but are those touchwiz based? The mod said it was confirmed working on touchwiz so if there not then that may be why you are getting that result.

Suggestion for New ICS Rom Dev

Hello all, now that ICS update is coming out for our little Blaze, I'm sure there will be lots of devs. I'm not sure how the Memory is setup on the ICS Rom, but the current GB on our Blaze has a very limited "Internal SD Memory" (Around 1.3gig, I believe) to install apps. Might I make a suggestion to the devs to include script manager tweaks in the upcoming ICS Roms so that default storage for apps be pointed to the "External SD" where we have more memory? Thanks!

Can't you do that in the market? if not you just go to manage apps and move them from there

Absolutely can be done via app from market and also manage apps. Apps2sd is in the market and worked well.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
Apps in the market do not move data.that's what we want. Gta takes up one gig alone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I577 using xda app-developers app
I know what you guys are talking about. But what I meant is if I was to download a large game that is over 1.4 gigs, it wont have enough memory to save on the "Internal SD". What you mentioned only works if you already have the apps downloaded.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
I used an app about a year ago called s2e . I can't be 100% sure but it moved app and data to external. I came from a G1 which had no internal memory . that phone was great but limited on space . if its not available there might be a similar app. good luck

I'll make sure it gets attention from the TFQ team. I can do it easily but I'd have to wipe both partitions to guarantee that no side effects happen.

I'd be happy with that. As it is easy to back them up via PC anyways. Plus with the move to ICS, I plan of completely starting form scratch and re-installing all apps from source, no backups short of the ones that are not available anymore.
Could DirectoryBind work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
When we get source, we can rewrite the package manager to point to sdcard instead of mmc then you won't have to worry about an app and/or doing it manually...

I dont think the external SD card swap works with 4.2.x only 4.1.x and below.
Thank you for the quick response.ive been rrading through the releases and it says they have storage supportbwith some kernels and some people are saying gl2sd, swapsd, and link2sd.what use is the sdcard to only hold pictures, movies, and music if you cant transfer apps and data to it.my opinion is google is kinda forcing people to spend money on the bigger gig tabs.well until they find a solution im going to hang on with 4.1.2.

No app to SD option since rooting

Just wanted to ask if any body knows what's happened to add to SD option. I recently rooted my tab2 and now running 4.3 with slim bean first thing I noticed I had to reformat my SD to fat32 as exfat is no longer recognized.. Then I noticed no app to SD.
This is not a major issue but I did find it handy and would really like to get this back if possible so any help or tips would be appreciated.
Oh andi have tried a few other ROMs as well. None have this option.
Apart from that the ROMs pretty dam good

Hey bud I'm running into the same problem on my tablet I have the sph-p500 version from sprint I'm still running the stock rom cause I guess there's nothing out yet for this version but I've done all the formatting for the extend are and using link2sd not app2sd it still won't let you move apps to ext sd but you can link the folders to free up alittle space I'm new to android and to this site but it seems to me like people on here are alittle weary about talking to junior members it sucks because I could really use there advice in the most recent versions of android the primary sd card is emulated therefore will not alow ext to be primary due to security reasons
Hello mate sorry for the mega late reply I work offshore. I come to think now its just not possible to appto SD but hey never mind my pad has plenty storage its just a shame I cannot utilize the 64gb SD card I have lol never mind I will keep searching for a solve.
Sent from my GT-P5110 using XDA Premium HD app
Apps 2 sd is only possible if you're running stock firmware jb 4.2.2.
If you want to move apps, use link2sd but you need to make partition in your external sd.
