I am really new at this. I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean) on it. I have successfully rooted it but am having issues with trying to run/install/move apps to sd card. I have tried many apps and they all seem to do one of two things. Either they just bring me back to the settings for the OS and applications where there is no move button or they "move" it right back onto the internal sd. I tried partitioning my sd card into 2 partitions (24 and 8) the 24 being Fat32 and the 8 being ext2 and using link2sd app. That gives me an error saying it cant run script and to try using fat32 for second partition. That also gives me an error which doesn't give any suggestions. I am really frustrated. I bought a 8 gig Galaxy tab 2 cause I was told at the store you could put apps on the sd which is obviously wrong. After the OS files and bloatware my 8 gigs is down to like 4.something... when some apps (like sims free play and asphalt7 are over a gig each that does not leave much room for apps. What is the best way to accomplish this?

The usable space for data is 4.59 I think ext 2 isn't really compatible with most kernels nowadays. Format the second part as ext 4. I did 4 gigs and that's good enough for two roms using kk's next dual boot. But I don't play many games on my tab 2 either.

I recently updated my Tab 2 7 to 4.2.2 stock
Under Settings> Application Manager
Tap on the application you wish to move.
Provided it is not a system app, you will see in the "Storage" info box a button labelled "Move to SD card".
It works for me

Im facing the same issue, but at the first time I was able to install link2sd and link all my games to the ext4 part in my memory card, but after a reboot (I was moving some updates to system rom via Titanium Backup) I noticed my games were not there, so I tried to reinstall the mounts scripts but the error message says: mount script cannot be created.
Can someone help to solve this issue?
I already have tried some tricks I found here in the forums without luck
Thanks

Hi all XDA Folk...
I am wondering if there is a easy way to use the sd card as storage, I know you cant use the old app2sd applications you get from the market and you can use directory bind to do something similar.....but is there an easy way or better way to do it?
I found this post and wondering if this would work on the tab 7.7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668247
Please could someone shed some light on this, thank you
I used directory bind once and it was not clear, moved the files and all and got a message when opening games....(Download data) so the data had not moved correctly or I could be doing something wrong.
Thanks Again!
and what purpose would it serve? This isn't like the HTC hero/magic (or some pre 1ghz) devices anymore
I want to know also if there is a method to move apps to sd, my 16gb p6800 soon to running out of internal space.

Sad to say you cant... If you go to settings>applications>manage application>click on one of the apps you want to move on the sd card ull notice only 3 options... Force stop, uninstall, clear data... No option for Move to phone/sd card. Why? As far as I know for a certain apps to function you need to keep it stored in the tabs internal memory and not on the sd card just to save space... Try installing games thats requiring you to download additional sd data like nova 3 after downloading the game data try to move it on the sd card and launch the app again and itll ask you to download the sd data again..
Hope this help..
P.s. Correct me if im mistaken..
Apparently app2sd doesn't work on our tablet, I am using link2sd instead.
Guys,
I'm currently using a rooted Galaxy Y Pro. with rooting i was able to clear out the onboard memory by placing apps on the 4gb sd card.
however, when trying to update apps i always get the message "not enough memory available" (while my SD card clearly isn't full).
the only way to 'update' apps is to uninstall them completely and reinstall the most recent version, not a desirable method.
currently running gingerbread 2.3.6
does anyone else have the same problem?
I had also same problem..Make 2 partition in sd card and use link2sd to link apps to sd card ..make sure that atleast 30-35mb free internal memory in phone before updating any apps..I hope this will solve your problem

Hello guys. I am strugleling for about 3 days to extend internal memory with microsdcard.
I have tried several possible solutions to make it work but still no results so I decided to ask for help from you guys here at xda.
I am very new in this Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 moding sector. I have some experience with hd2 moding but samsung way is different than Htc.
Current conf of my tablet is :
N8000 stock darkman deodexed 4.1.2 rooted and init.d enabled with universal init.d
16gb internal and 16gb microsd
So here is what I have tried since:
Link2sd didnt work for me. I have formated sdcard with ext4 filesystem but when I triet to configure link2sd it gave me an error that script wasnt created or my tablet dont support ext4 filesystem.
Then I have tried Super app2sd script from TweakerL . Script created folder on sdcard with scripts but even after reboot nothing changed. Apps are still installed on internal. Script didnt even mounted mount point.
Can somebody point me to right direction?

Here's how they did it in the N2 forum. Do a search over there. There might be other ways too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2027834
We have in developement, stickied, a mod that allows you to, if you have a larger sd card, swap external memory to internal. Change a 16gb to a 64with a simple script.... You do need root though...
Actualy i only have 16gb class 10 microsd and swaping internal memory to external wont do big difference. Better solution would be to configure system like if internal run out of space then apps will be instaled to external microsd. Or just bind appdata to external sd. The bigest files are gamedata especially from gameloft and so on. I was trying to do it with bind directory app but it just refuses to bind gamedata. Can it be because of OS not allowing to write on external? Possibly because of init.d ?

Ok so far I was finally able to use dirictory bind app properly. My internal memory is now freed from big game datas. Finally. But now I will need to move apps to sd. So far 10 gigs for apps is enought for now but I will see later. But at least big datas are now in microsd. It is sad that samsung didnt put ability in ther rom to move apps on sd. I have tried cyanogen mod nighty 4.2.1 which is very good i like concept of multi user but I am missing features from stock firmware that are not available in cmod. I hope that samsung will release update to 4.2.1 and multiuser feature will be the part of stock firmware and I hope that it will contain move app to sd feature aswell.

OK here is my dilemma I have tried every method for transferring apps to SD and none of them work. I have tried partitioning SD w/Odin and cwm'I have tried directory bind but when I get to the point to select file I can't find it in directory bind - I have tried the titanium backup method in there help section,tried the ROM manager, tried link to SD and apps of that such,I tried flashing a mod that was sup post to trick my tab into thinking my extsd was my intsd e folder manager and script manager,I have been sorting thru hundreds of forums for about 2 weeks now with no success even following directions to a t or I get to a point they r and its different on mine than theirs. I have even tried 3 different ROMs. I'm kind of a noob at this so I must be doing something wrong. I don't know where else to turn for insufficient storage space andapps to SD fix lucky patch works but only for a short time. I have a galaxy tab 2 7.0 3113 w/32gb micro SD and am running chili mango ROM. Please help thank you in advance.
If you take a look at the structure, all you should have to do is unmount the regular sdcard directory and swp it with the exsdcard if i remember correctly. It will work until its restarted, i n which case you need the autorun program to automate the swapping on startup. This will essentially make your sd card the primary storage and the internal storage as secondary.
I hope that helps or gets you some direction.

I figure this is a good place to ask, I'm not sure if I should even bother opening a new thread. Has any one figured out how to swap the storage on 4.2.x? I ccan't figure out how to do it. The closest I was able to get was using a ext. Sdared partition and the link2sd app, but that method only produced limited results, compared to a full swap.

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.
Anyway, hard reseted. You can close the topic.

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...
