MUST BE ROOTED
Updated 8/17/13
This is for everyone that wants more internal memory for apps and games (that's if you have a large ext-sd like 32gb or 64 gb). I have noticed alot of people need the app to sd feature but can't use that anymore because google seems to think we don't need it LOL. Please follow all instructions.
EDIT: I found a video that will show you how to swap your apps and games to sd and it's very simple. You will be able to get your internal space back and play games and use apps stored on extsd.
EDIT 2: trazfer says that the foldermount app isn't very user friendly and he recomends using GL to SD (root) from the play store here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp
I'm leaving the YouTube video below for people to have two options which ever one works out best for that person.
Thanks to trazfer for the report :thumbup:

Wow! Over a hundred views and not one thanks or comment. Is this not working for anyone? I'm enjoying the use of more internal space.

I have noticed alot of people need the app to sd feature but can't use that anymore because google seems to think we don't need it LOL. Here's what I did! I went here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849 and downloaded this app to get init.d support (must have init.d support). Install busybox by Stericson from the play store and run busybox let the app load after smart install is loaded choose install and then normal install (do not choose smart install) then reboot. If you have the Uni-init v1.0.apk downloaded from the first link I posted just install it run the app choose activate when finished choose verify it should say success then just reboot. Go to second link below and install the Root External 2 Internal SD app and run it. Please follow all the instructions on play store for that app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext Please follow all instructions. After doing all of the above you can use your external sd as main storage. Enjoy

Well foldermount is not user friendly. I find out GL to SD card(root) is much better and user friendly thanks btw

Now that we have CWM and a functional ROM can we move apps to the sd card
idk im wondering if this is possible ?
GL to SD
Some apps do work where you can transfer to sd card but some apps you can't, it's pretty cool for big games like asphalt
is this applicable in SM-T210? coz mine says my device doesnt support app2sd.
Moving app to SD functionality is built into my GTab 8.0

I have the same issue issue as this gentleman, my SM-210R is not supported by app2sd. Is there any other way to transfer the apps on a rooted device?
thanks

Sir. i have found a way to fix this issue that doesn't let us move apps to SD. i have found this Foldermount application which puts the Data or Obb files or anyfile in my Internal Storage into my SD Card Storage. if you still need a fix to this issue i may upload it here.

Please do, this would help the community.
Foldermount is in the play store.
But if you need to mount more than 3 folders, you will have to pay
Still a great app. (I paid for the app)

hi guys while i am installing apps they are getting installed in the phone memory plz tell me the way to get then installed in my memory card
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > [App you want to move] > Move to SD card
Simple as that, although not all apps can be moved, depending on what ROM youre using.
Cyanogenmod 7 also has a setting to automatically install all apps to the SD card, but that really isnt always the best option.
You need the App 2 SD app.

I am almost running out my internal 8G memory on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, but the 32G ext SD is still sleeping there....
Anyone know whether there is a ROM can support app2sd on external SD? Or, is there a good way to realize this? (I tried several solutions posted on internet but unfortunately no luck to get it solved...)
Thanks a lot for help.
try link2sd, I think you can make it easily in that way~
good luck~

I found the answer on a Chinese site. ..you do need to create an ext2 position on your sd card first (which makes complete sense ). I've got a 32gb card coming so I'll try it on that.

Just download a app call GL to SD in the playstore for free. It's the best app that will free up space by putting your games to the ext. sdcard. Try it out.
Hello friends ...
I love this mobile ... http://www.gogi.in/micromax-a90s-review.html
And it have sufficient hardware capabilities to run high end games ...
I want to buy this but only problem is the memory...
It have only 1GB internal storage for installation, while HD games are having size more than 1GB ...
Is there any way to install 2GB games on it ...
I don't want to root ... but if there are no options left then I will do rooting ...
Can I hope that after rooting ... I can install games directly on SD card ??? without any issue ???
You can install them on ur external card with apps like link2SD, Rom Toolbox. You will have to root it
Edit - actually, if im not mistaken, you can install the games directly to your external sd without root

Thanks for reply... my dear friend ... but I want to know that is this 100 % possible to install big games (greater than 1GB)directly on external SD card after rooting ???
(quote from website: "internal storage for app is around 1GB free. Apart from that there is another storage of 1.9GB which remains untouched and you don’t have an option to save new apps on the internal storage by default.")
I can't understand it because I am new to android and having no knowledge of it ...
Can you explain this quote ???
I see no reason why it wouldnt be able to do that.
That quote says in other words, the phone has 3 gigs internal, its partitioned, the 1 gig is for "system" and the other 2 gigs are for you to use as storage, or atleast thats how it works with my galaxy pocket.
I was told the game storage works like this, the game data can be stored in the external memory and the games "launcher" will be stored in the 1 gig partition of the internal memory. The launchers are usually 10 - 25 mb.
I really hope you understand this:thumbup:

There is a very good chance that u can install games directly to external sd without rooting also.

Here's a better way:
Use an app like "App Backup & Restore" from the Playstore. It will copy the apks to a folder on your SD card. You can then use a File Explorer to send those apks via Bluetooth. :good:
Try finding it in CM file manager.
I hope you find it!

All your app's installed and linked using Link2SD are saved into your second partition you created as fake internal ram. This second partition is either EXT2 or EXT3, Linux format.
