[Q] USB storage app?

Hi all
This is my first post here. I am a newbie to this forum, the sensation and ICS but not to android, I was a proud desire owner for 18 months until I dropped it into the bath .
Anyway, since the ICS upgrade, I am a little confused on the app info screen. When I move an app to SD, it goes to something called USB storage app and not to SD? I have searched high and low for an answer to this before posting. Any ideas guys?
Many thanks

In the apps to SD app, everything appears to be on SD.

I'm on stock ICS, and I can't recognize the problem. Have you used app2sd to move apps or just the app drager. Cause remember to have heard about problems with the app2sd from time to time. Not much help though. Sorry

An example:
App info
World of goo
Total. 34.48mb
App. 412kb
USB storage app 31.52mb
Data. 2.56mb
SD card. 0.00mb
It appears that there is nothing on SD even though the app has been moved. Most of the app has moved to USB storage app, whatever that is?

Hi. my first post here on xda. Been with android since the G1 on android 1.0.
From what I can gather:
Total is the total app size
App is the storage on the phone
USB storage app means the app is installed on the SD card.
Data is saved items like games or logins
SD card is what the app has on the SD card regardless of install.
I unmounted my SD card and the apps that were under the USB storage app disappeared from my app tray. I hope this helps explain it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[Q] What is the best way to extend internal memory on 8Gb P31xx?

I just got my new SGT 2 7.0" and was wondering how to to increase applications/data storage on this unit. I know it has to be rooted. But then I got confused: there are different methods out there that are compatible with only certain ROMs, some sorts of scripts that you have to maintain/change manually and etc.
What I want is to install certain applications (Like Sygic Navigation) on external SD card (32Gb) and use internal memory for regular/small apps. The reason is that that navigation app has huge map files that cannot be stored on internal memory - no room..
Another thing I got confused is the way those scripts work: some of them allow to completely swap internal memory for external, some allow data files to be installed on the external card. Can you guys advise what is the best and easiest way to make this happen? Are there any custom ROM's that already support it? My tablet is not rooted yet and it is Android v 4.1.1 (build P3113UECLK7).
As far as I see it, being a great tablet by design - it has a HUGE functional limitation - low memory capacity - only 8Gb for 7 inch tablet. Or Am I missing something

I juat got one of those too I'd have thought 8Gb is plenty for apps. Just get a decent-sized SD card for your data (music, videos etc), preferably a class 10 card. Good luck.

The problem is that out of 8Gb we have only 4Gb available to use. The rest is already used by the system. And that is very, very limiting:crying:

You can use gl2sd app or the foldermount app, both of which require root.the first one allows you to move some apps to the sdcard and the second allows you to link and move large game/app folders to the sdcard(which is what i do, because the swap scripts do not work past4.1.2). I'm not sure if any of the external/internal swap scripts work on the p3100.

What is that "foldermount application" you are referring to?

You can get it in the play store too, but with this app you can choose what to put on your card.

Directory Bind on newer phone?

Hello, can anyone explain to me how Directory Bind app actually works? In fact, in the app, I have no idea of why the default source directory is always the external SD card (instead of the internal SD by logic). Also, have anyone here actually get this app work on Note 2 since all the videos of demonstration of the app I saw online were done on those very old Gingerbread phones.

couldnt move apps phone to sd in galaxy core???

what a sad part of phone use for me....I have recently purchased Samsung galaxy core looking its features but I got disappointed , every thing is fine but there is no any option to move the downloaded apps to my sd card. when I go to app manager then there id no option ,''move to sd card'' option which is available in other my friends phone of other brands. I tried moboginie too but it also couldn't move and said failed.
I googled in the web and found some answer that there is no such facilities in this phone but not authentic one.
now I am getting problem cause I have to install some apps which are about 1GB size,,,so is there any method so that I can move my apps to my sd card despite of not having any default option to move to sd
regards

Download link2sd plus and link to all app data to sd card

I think all Samsung devices share the same disk with the os
If you root the phone I do believe that there is a way round this.
