There are 2 ways first: navigate /settins/apps then select an app that can be moved to sd then select move to sd card.this is called native apps2sd which just moves the bacic app files.
Second: partition your sdcard with partition wizard choose what size to make the second partition and format it as ext4. Then down load link2sd app from play store then open it a popup message will appear choose ext4 then if you have done everything right then it will say "mount scripts created please reboot your device to mount the second partition" then there you go extra memory for your apps if you go back to link2sd press menu then multi select then choose which apps you want to move then press actions then create link then the apps will be moved to the second partition. and from settings you can choose auto link which will auto link newly installed apps. This is the best as it moves all app data files to the second partition which leaves you system memory free and fast.
Make sure you backup your sdcard to your pc before you try the second option as it might erase all your data i am not responsible for any loss of your data every thing you try on XDA is by your own choice and at your own risk!!
Ive got a better idea for you. Just do vold.fstab trick and youll get bigger internal mem. You can even use your 32gb microsd as internal and do link2sd to the microsd at the same time.

Both needs root. For vold.fstab, you just need to mod the text inside the file. Need easy root method? Try unlockroot.

Use this. https://www.dropbox.com/s/f77twwjxhimocxv/ishuaji_root_sj.exe Its a chinese rootnig app. Just click the big green button. Install ADB Drivers first. Search universal adb driver. Then click next button (the layout will be>>previous, next, cancel) like the usual installer. I just used this against a hard to root Alcatel One Touch Glory 2S 4010x and able to get root.

That alcatel? Its on gb, and it does not have internal mem. So use link2sd instead.

what do you mean? not have internal mem? internal mem is 150mb....
i have 16gb sd....so i want to swap it....can you tech me how to swap?
No, that is for system. Check your storage menu, you only have internal (the 150mb one) and the 16gb microsd only. If you really want swap, check darktremor app2sd, but there are lots of work to do, and its kinda hard to do it on mtk phones (this alcatel is mtk). If you pick link2sd, its much safer. Just need to partition sd card into 2 (fat32 + ext2).

try mine...
replace your vold.fstab then reboot...
do backup your original one before use this...
ps: you need sdcard with class6 or more (class 10 would be better)
and don't worry about your ext2 partition, it's works as well...
enjoy...

xperia j sd card problem
i have a problem with xperia j sd card..my memory in sd card appears to be 0mb..
though i delete all my files in sd card also..it appears the same..
can i have a solution for this?...
Hello,
Guys as we all know XL internal and device memory isn't that large enough to store big games and larger app sizes...and whatever we receive via bluetooth or download goes into internal and eats up space i have tried gl2sd app and it works to transfer data of games to sd by duplicating folders but the associated files remain in internal memory and this app only works for new apps or selected apps only so guys do you have any idea about app that moves everthing to sd card? ( i really miss my gb days )
Please help suggestions are appreciated
Thanks in advance

Interesting people are using General for Question and answer.
Have you tried Link2SD?
This allows you to have new applications automatically installed on the TFcard.
It also allows you to manually move existing application data and libraries onto the TFcard too.
You do need to create a second partition on the TFcard and normally this is easy enough to do, but the XPERIA L is having a few TFcard problems and may not support a complex TFcard setup.
I normally create a 2GB partition for Link2SD to use, but many large game applications may require more..
The benefit Link2SD brings to the table is that the 2nd partition is still available to the system when you have your phone connected to a PC via USB.

I have created two partition on my sd card with Mini Tool. Fat32 and ext4. Both of them is primary. link2sd has root permission. But, link2sd does not found ext4 partition. What should I do?
Edit: Ok. Then I formatted sd card by phone. Because of this, link2sd haven't found it. I cannot use sd card If I do not format by phone. So, how can I create partition?

not sure if this will definitely solve your issue, but try formatting the SD card in a PC or maybe in another phone if it recognizes it... :good:
format using Mini Tool Partition Wizard in your Windows PC/Laptop. to Fat32 Only.

First backup your data, by some means ( connecting to some card readers, etc)
Now mount your SD card in USB mode using some other device that support, or the same card reader itself. ( some non android phones are also capable of that, like HTC Smart that I had )
Using some partitioning tool, delete whole of the contents - not just data, but the whole partitions ( I tested it on Gparted in linux. Gparted live medium is available from http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php ). Now your card doesnt have any partitions, or even a partition table.
Insert the device into your xperia L and turn it on. It will automatically format your card to fat32 partition.

My sdcard got damaged now.
Not even computer detecting but also not showing on any other devices..
What can I do now?
Sent from my C2104 using xda premium
If its permanently damaged, there is nothing you can do. As a final hand, you may try inserting it into a linux system, and check the output of command "ls /dev | grep sdb". If your card is being detected, the output will be sdb if you haven't plugged any other removable device.

same as me....my 32gb kingston sd card class 10 is not working. XL always say "sd card damaged"
XL has problems with class 10 cards. I had a Sandisk Class 10 16 GB sdhc, which I was about to get replaced due to the same reason, but lost it.
I then bought a transcend 16GB class 10 sdcard, which the phone showed as damaged. I then finally had that replaced, and after a formatting a few times and restarting a few times, it somehow worked.
plus many others reported class 10 cards not being read on XL
Luck by chance :/
with UHS-1 is works flawlessly
i wanna swap memory internal to extternal, but would the damage memory card when my memory card has partition? i use sandisk memory with 30 mbps 16 gb. sory for my bad english

If ur fone is rooted .. connect ur fone to pc via usb cable, go into recovery mode thru ur fone , if u can see mounts and storage , select it and then select mount USB option .. ur sd card will be mounted .. copy the files to ur pc .. if u have minitool partition wizard , open it and format / delete and create ur sdcard , then copy ur files back into the sdcard .. So u got ur sdcard back !
I have just installed Alien Rom V5 on my ST26. The app looks great and is very fast.
Can anyone tell me if I can link apps to an ext4 partition on my SD card using Link2SD?
I have tried doing this, but apps keep closing.

as i know in this AlienRom, the SD card (external) is swapped into internal SD card so you dont have to link coz all install apps go to external which is now read by the system as internal.....(correct me if im wrong )

I'm aware of the external SD / internal SD swap, but I think apps are still being installed to the internal memory (not the internal SD).
Before switching to AlienRom I was using gavster's AVD Rom and Link2SD installed every app to the ext4 partition on my external SD.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to prevent apps installing to the phone memory? I have a number of phone only apps which have filled the phone memory and are preventing some app updates and the installation of larger new apps.
Link2SD with an ext4 partition worked so well on the AVD Dark Moon Rom.

why don't you just edit vold.fstab :silly:
I thought vold.fstab only switches between external SD and internal SD. The Rom already does this.
Can vold.fstab be edited to prevent apps saving to the phone memory?
