I just bought a shield and apparently it has a feature to move apps from internal to external. When I use is, the move never works (says not supported or error). Is my only solution to root and use one of the rooted apps like Foldermount? Just want to make sure before I root b/c as of now I have not done that and my 16gb is being crushed by games.

Are you running the latest ota ?, you can move from internal to external using 4.3, but in the latest ota we are having some issues moving files to the sd card, i suggest you to root and try it, is not a dificult process you can do it in 30 minutes, good luck having root =D

yes - latest OTA as I updated once I booted up via wifi. Ok - so it;'s not me. Any ETA on the fix b/c I rather not root if possible. If it's TBD, I'll root tonight.
btw - really LOVE the shield thus far. Now if I can only figure out how to truly remove a gamemapper setting and not have to hold/presss then select move to move the buttons, I'll be good. I swear - I set to default and then go back to the game and it goes right back to the original settings I d/l via the d/l option. Very fustrating
it doesn't work with all games.
For now I tried it with Nova 3 and that worked.

So I updated to the leaked Samsung 2.2 Froyo. I am trying to move apps to the sd card and I am getting an error. "Failed to move application. Not enough memory".
I have seen demos/reviews with this function working. I am also making sure I try it with apps that are compatible with the feature.
Anyone have a clue as to whats going on here.
Other than that, I love being a new Android user, ported over from the apple world. Captivate made my 3g look foolish.
Thanks in advance for any help guys.

When installing a program it will pop up, this is Apps2SD, do you want to move. Or you can see it in manage applications, select application > Move to SD is highlighted
You have to be careful with it because that silly media scanner will run and disable you sd functions. Example. You have a program that starts up when your phone starts you will get a FC because the media scanner is running.
Good to have you by the way.
I'm getting the same message, but it was working before.
I flashed a ROM and enabled lag fix. However, when I went back to stock, I forgot to disable the lag fix.
I'm back to the leaked 2.2, but I still can't move apps to the SD card. There is plenty of memory free.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks!

Have you tried doing a master reset to remove the the lag fix or gotten the app from the market app2sd?
I tried a master clear using Odin, but I haven't tried a master reset. How is that done?

Ok I know a dumb question but do you have enough rom on your SD card? Try the apps2sd app from the market
No worries, I know you have to ask.
My SD card has 12.83GB free.
I did try using the apps2sd, but I get the same message, that there isn't enough memory.
I would say that there is an issue with the leaked rom. I would try a custom rom and see if it happens, if it is still an issue I would copy the stuff off your card and reformat it to see if that is an issue
I actually got the message the first time I tried a custom ROM. When I went back to 2.2 the problem went away, but I hadn't tried the lag fix.
When I tried another customer ROM today, I got the message again, but this time a tried the lag fix.
I forgot to disable it when I went back to stock, then to 2.2.
I did reformat the internal SD card, didn't help. That's why I turned to the forums. I'm all out of ideas.
OMG I am stupid lol. The apps to SD is for moving the APPS to an EXTERNAL sd card not the internal sd
LOL, no worries.
I don't want to waste my time, but would it be worth a try to:
1. Flash back to stock.
2. Install Clockwork recovery
3. Install customer ROM again.
4. Enable lag fix.
5. Disable lag fix.
6. Flash back to stock.
7. Master clear
8. Install 2.2 again?

Only if you have enough room on your external sd (micro sd plugged into the phone)
I don't currently have one installed.
It must be a file system issue. Is there anyway to rebuild the stock file system? Or is that supposed to happen when I flash back to stock?
By the way, thanks for your help on this.

No prob, but here is the deal. This only works for external SD card in 2.2 2.1 didnt have this option at all. So unless you insert an external SD card it is not gonna work.
OK, now I'm the stupid one. I didn't even think of putting my SD card back in! I always take it out when I flash back to stock because the media scanner takes so long.
Anyway, I put it back in, now I can move to SD.
So, my next question is, where does it put it on that SD card? I looked, and I don't see anything other than my music.

To tell the truth I dont remember really, I have not needed to move anything to my external sd in a long time, what are you using to look at your SD card?
Root explorer. It's not really that important, it's mostly just curiosity.
Hello
So i have a little problem which is really anoying ...
I'm running the lastest stock FW which is Jelly Bean 4.1.1, and my device is rooteed ( i updated with OTA RootKeeper) and i'm sure i'm rooted because somes apps that requires root are working perfectly.
I have tried every single app on the market that would allow me to move my apps to the SD card but no success, every app fails ...
Any idea on how to fix this ?
Thanks in advance

Look for link2sd on the market. This app will move your apps to your sdcard then create a reference point for the OS to find the app. The draw back is it's a little technical to set this up. You need to create 2 partitions on your sd card, first partion is fat32 to store your normal stuff and the second partion formatted with ext4 for the apps. Currently there is no other app can move app to sd.

Well, let's say that some apps requires a certain patch that only works when the patch is applied to an app that has been moved to the SD card :fingers-crossed:
You can also use the app directory bind to do this on ICS or JB.
With large apps like GTA3, GTA Vice CIty, and Madden, even with a 32g card being able to move large apps to sd would be a godsend. Its making my god tablet slow being filled up. Be nice to find a workaround...
actually i bought my XL around 1 month before...and i wanted to root my XL...should i root or not..??
i am confused as i have bought it recently..!!
plz help..!!
Is there anything that you want to do on your phone but you can't because it requires root? Then you should.
If nothing you ever do requires root then there's no point in rooting.

I buy my phone before 5-6 days and yesterday I root it, because I want to use Xposed framework. For me there is no point to unlock it yet, because there is lack of kernels and roms. Will unlock it when cm10.x rom is stable and usable. So all is up to your needs.

By the way I just rooted my phone (on Android 4.1 I couldn't because I couldn't unlock my bootloader) and it's worth it just because the Xposed Framework. There were some things that annoyed me or some things that I missed from the phone, but with Xposed I could customize it the way I wanted.

Like what they said, if you want to do something on your phone that requires root, the do it.
If your concern is about the warranty, you can always unroot your device anytime, anywhere :good:
First kit kat device. Just bought the Shield portable not too long ago too. I am wondering how exactly do I manage files on my SD card. For one, I know you can move basic stuff from your PC like music and pictures with no problems. However, what if I wanted to create folders, push roms, move data and actually use the SD card as pre Kit Kat? My bootloader is unlocked and my Shield is rooted. I also applied the SD card fix from NextApp.
So far from what I see, the most painless way is to take it out. Lets say I want to start playing PSP games on my new device. To be neat, I would create a filepath like Emulators>PSP>Games. Then I would put the ISO in the games folder. Again this has to be all done externally from the device.
Internally however, I have not found anything. I tried creating folders with ES Explorer with no luck. From my understanding with Foldermount, I would have to create folders first (and have whatever files) on the internal storage then create a folder pairing. However, thats still a little annoying.
Is there another way that I happen to have missed?

Try Root Explorer. While I don't have a Shield Tab yet, kitkat is kitkat. Hardware shouldn't matter.

Try running an sdcard fix app for kitkat. Look for nextapp sdfix in the playstore, I normally run that.

Make sure your rooted first.
Do you think we'll get Android M soon? I'm asking because I was thinking on rooting my device to make a partition on my SD and link apps and data to it, but, supposedly, Android M will allow to "adopt storage", which is the same thing of linking files to SD (correct me if I'm wrong) without the need of root access .
So I don't know if it's recommended to wait for Android M and keep my bootloader locked (to preserve the warranty), or root my device in the meantime while we get M.
I'm not urgently needing more space right now, but I would like to have more space and download some games that I can't because of low internal memory.
Thanks. And sorry if I made mistakes, English isn't my native language
Android M should release in a couple of months, but Motorola needs also some time to make it work for our Moto g,
so if you realy want more storage you should root

This is true for me also, but I think those looking to link SD want to move the entire thing. For example Star Wars Commander moves to my SD, but there is still some stuff on the internal. If you look at the App info you can see it. For Commander for me: Total 380MB, External app 55.12MB, External data 263MB. So there is 61.88MB still on internal. Downloading a ton of apps will fill up storage quickly especially with huge apps like Facebook, CoC, Commander, etc.
