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 ?

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.

I couldnt find a dedicate thread for Vodafone Smart tab 2. So I guess I ll post this here maybe will help some people.
This tablet is basicaly a Lenovo A2107 (A2107A_A404_010_002_120913_VODA)
- with single sim slot ( call feature restricted - only data enabled) and 4gb storage (1.8 gb user available)
For root - you can use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044496
User isyrider managed to install recovery and pemergency rom unlocking the calling feature also.
I was looking for a way to swap the internal storage with the sd card so I could get more space if posible without installing a custom rom to avoid incompatibility issues that could appear. Directory bind can help with big game files like gameloft but those 2 gb are still not too much . I was unable to install N.O.V.A 3 because it requires 1.81 gb free on sd.
Anyway long story short . To swap internal memory with SD card you need to have root and replace your VOLD.FSTAB file from system/etc with the one I attached.
You need to have root .
Use any root explorer.
Unzip attachment
Rename your VOLD.FSTAB to VOLD.FSTAB.BAK
Copy my VOLD.FSTAB to system/etc
Reboot.
Check in settings, You will see your sd card listed as internal memory.
This combined with link2sd app will give you plenty of space to install anything .
Hope this helps .
Hi icrazy, I've tried this procedure but unfortunately, I wasn't able to copy your 'vold.fstab' to the directory 'system/etc'. I've rooted my unit before I did this. Now the unit cannot detect SD card. I cannot rename/copy/move any file on this directory. please help... How to restore it, Thank you in advance
Hello, I don't understand what happen. If you were not able to copy my vold.fstab what did you change ? I ask this because you must have done something if now is not working.
Anyway it looks like is a problem with your file explorer , make sure it has read /write rights for system files.
Can you please share some light on isyrider? what is that? where can we find it? Google search didn't seem to help me with this
Is there any way in unlocking the phone feature without installing a different ROM? The last time i did that, with another lenovo tablet, i lost my 3g capabilities , and honestly i don't want to repeat that thing allover again.
Thank you icrazy, working perfectly
I have now 2x Vodafone Smart Tab II 7" with 4 GB and 8 GB storage on internal memory
Hi i managed to use the vold.fstab and replace the internal memory with the sdcard but my problem wasnt solved because the tablet also has another partition 503mb of internal storage and when i install any app will install the apps data on that internal storage even if i have sdcard or internal memory as default write disk so after a couple of apps i have the out of space issue because the internal storage is full is there any way to swap the internal storage 503mb ( not the internal memory 1.85gb) with the internal memory or even with the sdcard this is really stupid why have only 503mb of internal storage if the apps save keep saving data on that partition
Regards

Sorry to bump an old thread but i'm also wondering how it's possible to install a custom rom on this tablet. Any help aprecciated
Hi, I just registered for xda site because I am having a problem sending apps to my ex sd card to free up some space on my inter sd card is almost full.
Info you should know: recently rooted my tab 2 myself 5113. Cyanogenmod installed
Have rom toolbox pro installed but wasn't able to move apps with that program
I know some computer stuff but am not super hacker by any means just followed instructions online to root tab
I have super user installed on my tab, only installed working version, nothing experimental or in development
My ex sd card is only a class 4, 32gig and not the class 10 san disk card, not sure if it will work or if is going to be extremly slow.
Most of my "research" to learn how to install this stuff has came from google search, xda site, or youtube.
This is all the info I can remember, if more is needed please ask. My question again is how do I move most of my apps (except widgets ect. that are best to stay on internal sd) and have them installed on ex sd card so I can free up my internal sd card.
Thank you, you responses will be most appreciated.

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.
Like the title says, i keep getting the " Insufficient Storage" notification even though i moved the application to the SD Card.
So, that wasn't working and i searched the internet and read something about APP2SD CARD and Link2SDCard. For that i need root. So i rooted my phone. Now when i download app it says "App linked to SD". But it didn't move it so i go to the program and select "Move application to SD Card" and it does it successfully .
Although i am moving the applications to the SD Card, the system internal storage stays exactly the same. For example, i download Hearthstone wich is something like 1.20 Gb. I had 7.80GB of used space. I install this app, and bam! System storage full. Then i proceed to move it to the SD Cards with various programs i tried. And it says it has moved it, but i still remain with 8.00 GB of used space!!
What is going on and how do i change my default install program storage device?! Because that was the objective i have been trying to get with those apps i found on xda forum!
I hope you can help! Thank you!

Hi xda, thanks for being here for us wee users: WE KNOW YE ARE GODS:good::
My question is do i have to root my new Amp2 6.0.1 Marshmallow, in order to utilize the Samsung External sd card i bought for it ? The reason I ask is that the Amp2 would not recognize a Sandisk 16gb ext.sd, b/c 'no second partition,' NOR will it allow use of the REQUIRED Samsung ext sd, for the same reason, 'no second partition.' Link2SD is what i purchased for my S3, & it cannot move my apps for lack of two primary partitions. &, APARTED does not work without root.:crying: HELP PLEASE, as i don't really WANT root, since 'flashify' destroyed my S3. Thanks for REPLY.
Hi, I am no expert on this and I dont have an amp2 but I do have a samsung on5 from metropcs/tmobile which I believe to be equivalent maybe even the same just rebranded.
On the on5 you must format the ext sd card as internal storage not portable/media. This might have to be done on a pc. Then you must mount
the ext sd card as internal storage and make it adoptable. Samsung blocked this feature on their phones. This allows the phone's os to use the ext sd card for apps etc. I used an app called root essentials to do these steps. Here is an article that describes the issue further. What seems to work is further down where the author of root essentials describes the unrooted process which requires the use of adb. http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...sd-card-as-internal-storage-using-marshmallow
If u get it working , u will have to regularly clean cache and move apps and updates to sd. I use the app2sd tool in a package called android assistant to do the moves.
Your results may vary.
Finally, how much free internal storage do u have now on your amp2? I would like to compare to my on5.
Good luck!
