How to move apps from device(internal memory) to sd card (external card) on android 4.1.2 jelly bean?
Sent from SM-t210r RocketTab v2.0 with latest mk1 kernel using Tapatalk
Depends on the phone, a lot of devices running Jelly Bean now don't let you move apps to the SD card. Notably Sony's. I think it was something to do with certain apps performing badly when moved to SD, so Google removed the feature on Jelly Bean to ensure performance. Typically you should be able to do it by going through settings - app manager - on SD card. If there is no SD card option then without root you can't. The SD card can only be used for general storage (music, pictures etc).

So can't I make my external card the default storage?

With your device being rooted, you should be able to make your SD card default storage. I know you can make your SD card the internel storage on most devices. Have you tried apps2sd from the play store?

Another thing to note is even if you can move apps to the SD. Some apps can, some can't unless you make the SD card into your internel storage with root which is quite fiddly.

Ok but how to make my sd card, the default storage?

Unfortunately that is beyond the boundaries of my knowledge, as I have never had to do it. I have seen it done a few times when internal storage space is an issue. From what I know it's quite a big thing to do and there could be a risk to doing it, so I would make sure you know exactly what your doing before you decide to do it. I would say a quick search on Google should pull up some tutorials. Peace and good luck!

I'd love to be able to swap the way the phone sees internal and external SD so I could have 32gb instead of 16gb.
I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849861 and
this: http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-tutorials/app2extsd-how-to-save-apps-to-external-microsd-for-u-s-canadian-galaxy-s3/
on both Bean's #10, and CleanRom 2.0 both of which support init.d,
The result: The external SD card became the ONLY SD card, and the internal card was invisible. The hack is supposed to swap them.
Has anyone had any success with this hack? If so, which ROM and kernel were you using? I'd love to get this working.
I'm not an expert on the diff roms but are those touchwiz based? The mod said it was confirmed working on touchwiz so if there not then that may be why you are getting that result.

Have you guys been able to use sd card as standard internal storage on stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 or CM 10.1? My memory has run out, so this way I cant install as much things as I wanted. There was a thread here guiding how to do it on 4.0.4, but it doesnt seem to work on the new ROM. Any help would be appreciated.

okay. so i have:
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7'' (8gb internal / 32gb microSD external) running Jelly Bean 4.1.1
1-. i rooted it
2-. partition the microSD leaving (1st partition with 28gb FAT32 / 2nd partition with 1gb ext2)
3-. downloaded Link2SD and linked to the ext2 partition
4-. linked almost every app (screenshot)
yet the info in "storage" says i'm storing everything in the internal memory (screenshot).
i linked "Fifa 12" to external SD and started downloading it (aprox 1.2gb) and while it downloads i can see how the free space from the internal storage goes down.
am i doing something wrong?, thanks in advance!
here i add a screenshot showing that partition i made (i did it fine as far as i know)
please...anyone? =(

Naw you didn't do anything wrong. I'm still trying to figure this out myself. I have a 32gb sd card myself and it's rendered useless so far
Try this out. Maybe you will have luck with it

already did =(, no luck.
so we're stucked until someone modifies the Swap SD card mod for jelly bean?
i decided to add some videos and books manually to the SD card to at least do "something" useful with the tablet and now i get an error at the google play store.
i've had this thing for a couple of days and i'm sick of it. i should have go the nexus 7 32gb, only if i knew before...

I couldn't get it to run right ( I mean mount2sd). Kept hiding my apps and doing buggy stuff. Link2sd would at least move some pass over. I mean on 4.2.2. I only use the script above on pre 4.2

Question: how did you partition your SD card? I've been searching around and have had no luck.

In short, no. Google seems to be moving away from supporting external SD cards. The option to move apps to an external SD card is gone with Android 4.2. There might be some custom ROMs or mods that do this though.

For rooted phone, I think you can try Link2SD first. But yeah, Custom ROM is a nice thing to play with.
Nope, link2sd says that my phone is not alowed or something like this. So, i think i will stick with 8 gb internal storage and move only media to sd. Thanks anyway!

About Link2SD, you have to partitioning your SDcard first. I am sorry I can't post link about tutorial to partition SDcard. Just search it on Google. Good luck..

Just wanted to ask if any body knows what's happened to add to SD option. I recently rooted my tab2 and now running 4.3 with slim bean first thing I noticed I had to reformat my SD to fat32 as exfat is no longer recognized.. Then I noticed no app to SD.
This is not a major issue but I did find it handy and would really like to get this back if possible so any help or tips would be appreciated.
Oh andi have tried a few other ROMs as well. None have this option.
Apart from that the ROMs pretty dam good

Hey bud I'm running into the same problem on my tablet I have the sph-p500 version from sprint I'm still running the stock rom cause I guess there's nothing out yet for this version but I've done all the formatting for the extend are and using link2sd not app2sd it still won't let you move apps to ext sd but you can link the folders to free up alittle space I'm new to android and to this site but it seems to me like people on here are alittle weary about talking to junior members it sucks because I could really use there advice in the most recent versions of android the primary sd card is emulated therefore will not alow ext to be primary due to security reasons
Hello mate sorry for the mega late reply I work offshore. I come to think now its just not possible to appto SD but hey never mind my pad has plenty storage its just a shame I cannot utilize the 64gb SD card I have lol never mind I will keep searching for a solve.

Apps 2 sd is only possible if you're running stock firmware jb 4.2.2.
If you want to move apps, use link2sd but you need to make partition in your external sd.
