How to install apps in external SD Card

Hi All,
I've two tablets and the internal free space in getting lower, I need to install apps directly on their external sd cards. How is it possible? All the "2SD" apps don't work.
Thank you all in advance :good:

You can't unless you root the tablet and use non standard software.

Really...... I was under the impression that it could not be done at all.
Please tell how as I would like to know also.
Thanks.

didnt figure this out but u can use titanium and move those on the device to leave more space for other installations.

If you are rooted and on a stock ROM or ROM not using JB 4.2 (Google changed the file structure again in JB 4.2), you may be abe to use zedomax's script that swaps the internal and external SD cards. Although it's long, I would suggest reading through the entire thread as glitches with the stock ROM update to JB 4.1.2 and work arounds are addressed later in the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857391&page=1

I'm interested in this as well. I read a post on something called a directory bind...??? I guess that moves app data to the SD card. I currently have just over 9 gig of space left to fill (16gig model). Just put in a class 10 32gb card in last night to find out that app2sd does not work...
I read today that link2sd might work. Haven't gotten a chance to try it yet though.

I tried link2sd and the other one mentioned in this thread with no luck.
I don't really want to do the the card swap method.
So........... if anyone has another way to store apps on a mico sdhc card that truly works, I'm in.

Found app that truly works
I finally found an app that truly transfers your app data to your "extSdCard" but you do need to have root.
The app is called "Directoryblind" and can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262 and the most current file is DirectoryBind_0.2.0o.apk
The app has been out since 12-2011 with many updates since its release.
So I'm posting it on this Note 10.1 section as I have never seen it talked about in this section and I thought it may help someone else find this app.
Again it truly does work.

galaxy tab 2 7.0 p3113 noob in need of help

hello all, i just recently got my hands on a slightly used galaxy tab 2 7.0, i like the stock rom allot but after installing a 32gb sd card and trying to download my android apps and game collection i quickly found out that the stock jellybean rom 4.1.2 doesn't allow apps to be transferred to the external sd card, this is a problem for me because i have a bunch of paid apps and games that i like to use all the time, and i want to be able to store them on my galaxy because sometimes in not in a wifi area and i cant download an app when i need to, i recently tried a new custom rom Tsunami X10 and i like the rom, it looks nice with its dark themes, but it still doesn't have the option for apps to be installed on the external sd, can anyone recommend a custom rom that allows me to move apps to sd card and still work, some apps like GL to sd will not work for my games on this tablet, any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

You can switch your internal and external SD space. That way you can fool your tablet into thinking that it's internal space is 32GB and everything will be stored on your SD card automatically.
You can do it with the app called Link2SD, however required root access. You may refer this (http://techtrickz.com/how-to/extend...roid-phone-by-utilizing-a-portion-of-sd-card/) article to get an idea on how to use the app. It's quite simple and explained step by step.

[Q] move/run/install apps on sd galaxy tab 2 7.0

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

Install link2sd from goggle store
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app

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

[Completed] Need apps to go to SD card NOT USB storage

I've been looking and looking and couldnt find the answers. Please someone help

Some more information is needed to better assist you. What Device ? Rooted, or Non-Rooted ? What Rom ? What Android version ? What Recovery ?

Samsung galaxy s2 rooted but not unlocked version 4.1.2. I want apps to go to my SD card bc they always go to my USB storage I don't want that bc I've ran out of available space

What Carrier ?
EDIT:
You should be able to go to : Menu - Settings - Application manager . Then move the Apps to the SD Card manually. You can also use Titanium Backup to move the current apps, and data to the SD Card. But for the future you can use ROM Toolbox to make sure the apps install to the external SD. Finally you can check out THIS thread that discusses some of the same things you asking. Although the OP is trying to accomplish the opposite.

[Q] Stock A2SD any better in Lollipop?

I haven't installed the Lollipop OTA yet. I have rooted my Shield tablet in KitKat, but only to install Link2SD to move some large games to the SD card, since the native A2SD can't move them.
Given that rooting it in Lollipop appears to be a bit more of a hassle, I just thought I'd ask before I upgraded: is the stock A2SD in Lollipop any better at moving those stubborn apps that just won't be moved? And if it isn't, is moving apps to the SD card using Link2SD still possible in Lollipop once I have root?
Thanks

I used lucky patcher to move games last night to my sd card... I suppose since that app worked others similar to it would also.
