When using my active I noticed that when I moved my game Need For Speed Underground to my SD card it moved it to sdcard witch is the internal storage and not my extSdCard. It says its on my external sdcard but it is not. It is taking up 2 gigs of my system. I have root and am moving it to my extsdcard and I hope it still works... I will keep you posted

yes, this is a known issue. If you have root just use the app foldermount it will mount the storage to the sdcard
Yep, known issue. The Active currently does not properly move any app to the external SD card. Like Mr. Joshua (get the reference?) mentioned, foldermount is the way to go in the meantime. I use it, and it works great. Was able to free up many gee-bees with it.

Is there a way to install the apps to the internal storage instead of the sd card? I remember awhile ago there was an option on CM that allowed internal/external settings. I can't finder it anymore. My sd card is only 1gb taken from my old G1.

Which rom are you using right now?
If you're on stock (based) ROM, then you can use ADB/terminal to issue the command pm setInstallLocation 1 to force apps to use the internal storage, if on CM7 the option is under CM Settings => Application => Install Location
In CM if we set it to internal will apps install on the internal sd card or on the internal rom (is that the right word im looking for?)?
They'll be in /data/app, so what you would call 'internal ROM'
Thank you that's exactly what I was looking for

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but does anyone know if there's a way to move apps to the internal sd card (not internal ROM)?
I have a 16gb class 10 microsd card but i want to use all that space for music. That 5gb internal sd card is just sitting there, i'd really want to use it for app installation space.
Any clues?
I think you have to change the setting to internal and reinstall the apps

Flash the one that says it makes external secondary. It will mount your internal sdcard as /sdcard and will mount your external as a folder /sdcard/_ExternalSD
G2X CM7
Thanks. I think that did the job!
Hi
I am coming from the Vibrant. There, I never used my own SD CARD. I always used the phone's storage. It was always fine.
But now I just flashed to CM and when I wanted to take a pic, it said "please insert SD card before ...."
huh? does the G2x doesn't have enough space - even for ONE picture?
I am sure I am missing something here
Thank you!!!

Internal memory is 8gb but free space is roughly 5.2 gbs.
You need to have an external SD card with the way cm7 is formatted the internal SD card is mounted as mnt/emmc.
Not sure if you can change your download folder to mnt/emmc as I never have tried.
There is I believe if I recall correctly a flash that changes the internal memory card from emmc to reg browse the threads in dev you'll surely find it there

There's an option in cyanogenmod settings>application
That does that for you. Called use internal storage or something. Tap it and reboot.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
cyanogenmod settings -> application -> use internal storage
check this, reboot, and the internal storage should be mounted on /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard, while external sd card (if exists) will be mounted on /mnt/emmc
There is a 2GB for apps if I am not mistaken.

roughly 1.5gb for apps, with link2sd that 1.5gb is very generous since only some cache files are stored on internal and everything else being linked to the ext partition on sdcard. I have over 450+ apps/games on my phone atm using link2sd and reccomend it to anyone else who also likes installing tons of apps.

I have a 16gb s3 and 16gb SD card I wanted to either move my music or apps but I can't figure out how my phone recognizes the SD but for some reason its seems unusable. Is there some setting I'm missing or is my SD card corrupt?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
not sure i understand your question exactly... but i can say that certain programs are not able to utilize the sd card in our phones. this was new for me coming from a motorola. the way samsung refers to the internal "sd card" vs your added external sd card is different so a number of programs will look at the internal memory as the SD Card instead of your actual SD Card.
that said, you can bypass this with a program the binds the directory on the internal storage that the program is looking for to a directory on your SD Card.
search my posts... i posted the link to the program (not mine) in another thread. it's working great for me with MOG. before, all my music had to be on the internal storage for mog to read it. now, with the directory bind program i have all my music on my external sd card and mog reads the files just fine.
hope that helps!
Well I downloaded app2sd and it says this device does not have a primary external storage. It does not even recognize my sd

No, since the OS won't allow apps2sd because it uses MTP

Read this below.... The device uses MTP so it will not see your external SD card in the slot by ICS design...what you want it the UMS the USB mass storage where the device used the SD card to save data...but the Samsung now has 16GB internal storage so it presents a problem...
This app was written to resolve that issue... Also there is a link to explain this deeper than what I am doing....

Well I figured out how to get files from my Mac to my sd card using android file transfer. I transferred some videos and the stock video play found them right off. The only problem is that I can find the folder that there in using file manager. Its like a ghost SD card I can't find it anywhere but at least I can transfer and delete them now I just need my computer to do it.

Hello! I think that needs another topic.
A small question about the problem with SD card on the p5100.
As of 4.1 or 4.2 google has introduced the 'cool' feature - multi-profile system.
Okay, everything is good, but with this 'cool' feature they have changed something with SD cards. Now internal memory is divided to the internal memory and internal SD-card which is considered as an external SD card. All apps are installed there, and my external SD card (32 gb) is now useless. Ofc, I can explore it on a file explorer, but the system thinks it is the second SD card and don't want to move any apps there.
And that's the problem. All apps are instaled on the internal-external SD card and the free-space is.. You know.
I can't update my apps, I can't download new apps - no memory alert.
Cyanogenmod nightly 10.2
So, is there any way to fix it, like Samsung has done to SGS3?
It's getting everything out of me.
On my phone everything is ok, but on the tablet.. :/
And please don't say google it.
I'm searching for this fix for.. months. Can't find anything so posted here.

Already tried.
"App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your Device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to your SD card.
That's the problem.
Apps are already installed on the SD card but the wrong one.
Anyway, the emulated SD card has 10 GB free space, the 'proper' SD card has 25GB free.
When I try to update something on G Play, or install any app from my explorer - error, no enough free space.
Oh come on.
i.imgur.com/hWzliZS.png
Where is that "no enough free space"?
For a 200 KB update?!
/edit:
And I think that 'canceling the emulation' of the internal SD card will do a lot for me.. But how. :/

I don't see any app called 'root & clean master'. Anyway can't install any app because I 'don't have enough space'.
Check your internal memory using a pc and see exactly what you have stored there. Over 10GB should be enough for a 200KB update. I suspect something is wrong with your tablet.

I just got a p3110 last week and have this same issue, Its only a 8gb and I want to install apps to the sd and it will not, did you fix yours? how?
You cannot move or install apps to the external sd card. Only the internal storage. There are methods if you are rooted. Read down the forum topics. There are a few threads discussing this. But stock tablets do not install apps to the external sd card.

Install link2sd
Create a new ext3 partition of desired size in ur external sd using mini partition tool.
Then use this partition to move all your apps using link2sd...
I had done this procedure in my old galaxy y because it had very less internal storage....
I haven't checked it on my tab though... but why don't u give it a try...
