[Q] installing apps in memory card

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.

Nope, not if you're running Froyo or above. But that app can be helpful.

You can use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer from market. Root is the better one. If your talking apps try app2sd from market though I havent heard of anyone wanting to move apps to phone to kill phone memory except for widgets. But depends on what files your trying to move. Be careful on what your moving and to where.
Lots of reading and searching (Google & XDA) save the heachaches.

You can do as Reinaldo told you. Other way, if you want to put apps from the sdcard to the phone, you can just use the applications>manage applications menu...

Awesome, thanks guys, root manager works like a charm.

go to root explorer menu and under root options use the root permissions to read / write. Be careful with that stuff.

Try rebooting your phone, if that doesn't work try looking at the root explorer from JRummy apps.

External to Internal sd swap

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)

Write to external sd card without root?

Hi just wondering if apps can write to sd card without root on the note pro? Searched the forum and nothing came up but I use tapatalk so search is not always that great

Some apps can via a workaround, such as ES File Explorer and Quickpic. Others can't as they won't use the workaround.
Are there any specific apps or app types you're looking for?

You can use the My Files app, or connect the tablet to your PC and you'll have full access to internal and external storage.

Of which? ES and Quickpic? Both. ES is a file explorer, Quickpic is a gallery.
