[Q] Samsung galaxy tab 2 moving apps to sd card - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the galaxy 2 7.0 tab. im trying to find a way to move apps sd card. I have no idea what rooting is so I would like to avoid that if at all possible. The problem that I also have is that when I go to "my files" in the apps on the tab itself my apps are not being shown in the internal memory (was going to cut and paste apps to sd). Ive searched in the downloads nothing and every where else also. There is a section however that shows all the apps individually as downloaded but they are located on a separate page in the apps section (the do not show in internal). I am not the brightest at technical issues but im also not the dumbest. With that said any step by step help will be greatly appreciated.

See u must root as there are roms that support moving apps like cm10
But also there are apps for that on stock like foldermount and directorybind
But they require root
Plz dont use any apps except the above especially app2sd as it will doom ur device
In short must root
Press thnks button

[Q] [Help a new owner!] Incoming massive request for help.

First off let me thank everyone who is going to help me through my issue.
Everything started yesterday when I got a16 gigabytes new SD Micro card. I originally got the card so I can move my applications from the internal 16 gigabytes storage to that SD Micro card . After searching through the web I have realized that I cannot move my applications to the external memory until I root my device and so I did it using a guide from this website. after rooting my device I downloaded every application in play store that is used to move applications from the internal memory to the external one.And for some reason all of them failed'Someof them said that there is no enough memory. and some others said I have no External memory inserted "already checked in settings and it says external memory 14.98 Gb free. After that i read another guide which Said I should get Rom manager to partition my memory card.and I did download the Rom manager . I tried to partition but it said I don't have CWM , and it asked ifit should install it so I accepted. mydevice wasn't listed. I chose a random one and now I'm afraid I have broken my 3 days old note 10.1 . Could anyone help me please with
1. The Sd micro card issue(apps From internal memory't external memory.)
2. The random CWM device that I have downloaded and maybe installed.
3. Partitioning my card (if that's going to help.)
4. I'm new to android and have no idea what rooting is "although I did it anyways" and how I Can use rooting
Rooted note 10.1
Thank you again <3
Edit 1- 8 views no help? Id really appreciate it if anyone could help me.
I think some sort of reply will help you get started...
Note 10.1 only supports FAT 32. not NTFS. So you have to format your SDcard properly to begin with. I believe its true, you need to root your device to get AppOnSD support.
NEVER flash anything that is not intended SPECIFIC for your device. Always do a backup so you can restore it from an image if you happen to soft brick it.
Rooting pretty much allows you to get "super user" functionality. Most notably the ability to access system files.

I'll try to help with fixing your Note.
Can you get into download mode? Start with power off and press volume down and power at the same time.
If so download Check Fus (GGI version) from fus.nanzen.se and make you have Odin and the Samsung drivers as described in the how to root thread.
Check the back of your Note for version number; N8000, N8010 or N8013. Use Check Fus to download the correct rom for your country. If not the nearest one.
Follow the how to root guide (sticky in development) that explains how to install the rom. This should put you back where you started. Now, read a lot. Don't use Rom Manager.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1/ How to root instructions. Your replacing the rom from the instructions with the one you downloaded from Check Fus.

And pjfriend I tried so hard to understand but I'm really sorry im really new to this and I don't get what youre saying. Can u explain more !?

I said I think I broke my note because I downloaded and installed a random cmw from Rom manager when I tried partition my sd card .
And I have a problem moving apps to the sd card. In app2sd it says it's emulated andin droids it says memory is full.
Then I'll back out. I've no experience of apps2sd on the Note. Have had no cause to use it. I strongly suggest you read a lot more before you attempt anything else involving door, partitions or CWM.

[Help] Can't move apps to SD card ...

Hello
So i have a little problem which is really anoying ...
I'm running the lastest stock FW which is Jelly Bean 4.1.1, and my device is rooteed ( i updated with OTA RootKeeper) and i'm sure i'm rooted because somes apps that requires root are working perfectly.
I have tried every single app on the market that would allow me to move my apps to the SD card but no success, every app fails ...
Any idea on how to fix this ?
Thanks in advance

Look for link2sd on the market. This app will move your apps to your sdcard then create a reference point for the OS to find the app. The draw back is it's a little technical to set this up. You need to create 2 partitions on your sd card, first partion is fat32 to store your normal stuff and the second partion formatted with ext4 for the apps. Currently there is no other app can move app to sd.

Well, let's say that some apps requires a certain patch that only works when the patch is applied to an app that has been moved to the SD card :fingers-crossed:
You can also use the app directory bind to do this on ICS or JB.
With large apps like GTA3, GTA Vice CIty, and Madden, even with a 32g card being able to move large apps to sd would be a godsend. Its making my god tablet slow being filled up. Be nice to find a workaround...

You should probably post in that thread to see if he has an answer. And be more specific, are you running stock ICS? This mod is only for stock.

Edit internal memory to add to phone storage?

Is it possible to increase my (rooted 4.4.4) fake galaxy note 4's phone storage, by taking some storage from the internal memory? Is it possible via root, or ROM at all? I don't want apps2sd or anything like that.
I think the phone storage is smaller than listed in settings, and I can get less than a mb of storage on it. No downloads go to my SD card, even when the settings are right.
By increasing my phone storage, I can at least see what's wrong.
Thanks

I never actually did this, and it seems to me that this is device specific meaning that you will not find a universal method how to change system partition.
I am not by a pc now, so I can't make really any research.

Thanks, but xposed won't install. I think lots of stuff uses the phone storage. When deleting everything possible, I can get about 1mb space. I think the storage is much less than stated.

Root and link to SD, or wait for Android M?

Do you think we'll get Android M soon? I'm asking because I was thinking on rooting my device to make a partition on my SD and link apps and data to it, but, supposedly, Android M will allow to "adopt storage", which is the same thing of linking files to SD (correct me if I'm wrong) without the need of root access .
So I don't know if it's recommended to wait for Android M and keep my bootloader locked (to preserve the warranty), or root my device in the meantime while we get M.
I'm not urgently needing more space right now, but I would like to have more space and download some games that I can't because of low internal memory.
Thanks. And sorry if I made mistakes, English isn't my native language
Android M should release in a couple of months, but Motorola needs also some time to make it work for our Moto g,
so if you realy want more storage you should root

This is true for me also, but I think those looking to link SD want to move the entire thing. For example Star Wars Commander moves to my SD, but there is still some stuff on the internal. If you look at the App info you can see it. For Commander for me: Total 380MB, External app 55.12MB, External data 263MB. So there is 61.88MB still on internal. Downloading a ton of apps will fill up storage quickly especially with huge apps like Facebook, CoC, Commander, etc.
