[Q] Want to move apps to sd card - General Questions and Answers

Hey, I downloaded a custom rom for micromax canvas turbo A250 by santosh. It is a great rom, however, the problem is that I can't move apps to internal sd card. There is NO option to move, and I've downloaded a lot of third party apps, but none of them could move the apps to sd card.
I rooted my stock rom earlier, and could move those apps to sd card, but can't seem to do it when I've downloaded a custom rom. Is there any way in which I can move the apps to sd card? Or would I have to revert to stock rom?

if th e third party apps dont do it, there should be a message of some sort telling you why. if it says that apps2sd is not compatible on phonee, then yes you will need to revert to stock rom.
i dont know if you tried this, but link2sd is a very good app for things like this.

you can use Link2SD or GL to SD

I didnt find any app for moving apps to sd card but only FolderMount for moving obb files and offline navigation data and it works great.

Yes, I have tried link to sd, and a lot of other apps. They all show moving, and then suddenly it just stops and goes back to the app. In the case of titanium, it shows batch move complete, but no app has been moved. I really wish some custom rom for my phone supports moving apps to sd.

And link 2 sd shows (INSTALL_CONTAINER_ERROR). Anyone knows this error? Can it be because my phone has no sd card but an internal sd card? Any help?

Nabi 2 Apps to SD Card

I've rooted and installed gapps onto my kids Nabi 2 tablet that he got for Christmas, I just got a 32GB MicroSD card so I can move all apps to the SD card and use the SD card for apps so I don't run out of internal memory. I don't see how to move the Apps to the SD card, can someone tell me how to do this or if it's possible? I did a little research on this and it looks like there might be an app that does this, but I'm not too familiar with it. You used to be able to just go into to manage your apps and select move to SD.
I tried posting to the root instructions thread but apparently I'm too new to post ona developers thread. Thanks for any info.
Anybody have an answer??

Thanks for the reply, is that the only way to move apps over to an external SD card nowadays is using a 3rd party app?
It was so nice before to just go into the Apps section within settings and move choose "Move to SD".

Not on the current configuration it doesn't. Nabi2 has been updated to Android 4.1.1, with Gapps, and I think the dunderheads at Fuhu went out of their way to make sure you couldn't get extra space on their P.o.S. tablet.

[Q] Apps not being transferred to SD Card!

Hello Im having a very serious issue with my phone. I cant move apps to my SD Card for some reason. my phone is rooted and i tried using app2usb or whatever its called but still no luck i know my phone can read the SD because i have songs on it and my music player can play the songs on my SD but i just dont understand why its not letting me transfer apps nor letting me install apps into it. PLEASE HELP!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4g from tmobile with custom rom, Cynogen Mod 9 ICS. I also have a 8gb SD card
I have also tried deleting smdl2tmp1.asec but i cant find that in my phone nor my SD Card
Try ZDbox to move your apps to sd card
I personally use App2SD but I think for custom ROMs, ZDbox is more reliable

Does your phone detect your sd card?
If yes you can use force2sd.

I have the same problem like you, then I backup all my data in sdcard saved in computer and use minitool partition to format ext2 and main partition. Now copy data to sd card (main partition) again. Next step you use your recovery tool as CWM (your device have been rooted) to restore. I have fixed that problem.

[Q] Working method for apps on SDcard?

I'm on the latest kitkat version rooted on my Shield Tablet and am trying to get a working app to move my apps to the sd card. I've tried link2sd (requires partitioning?), apps2sd, and sd fix. I can't seem to get the apps to fully move to the sd card, just the app data...
Is there a way to move the entire app to the sd card? I tried lollipop and hated it, so downgraded back to kitkat.

FolderMount. I use it for games. You can move the Data and the obb files to the SD. You can also make backups in case you factory reset or move to another ROM.

I second FolderMount, with the caveat that it takes a small amount of work per app... And that lollipop doesn't recognize that the space is now free. My NST now thinks that I'm using 50gb out of my 26gb I should have. Lol.

Okay, I'll give it a try. If I upgraded to lollipop would the new os put the apps on the SD card or would I still need FolderMount?

More memory on Android 4.4.4?

Hi everybody, I have root access on my phone but I still can't install on SD. I've read that Kit Kat has a bug that impedes the correct use of the SD card. I tried a solution I've seen on this forum about installing big games on SD but I'd like to just transfer some apps I have like Chrome, for example. It takes up more than 100MB.
Do you know of any way of getting this done?
As u have root access, you can use app like link2sd, it can move any app to external sd, but use it wisely, moving some system app can cause FC..
Also u can use xposed framework and install the module named "kitkat sd card full access" which will solve the android 4.4.4's write issue to sd card..
I've installed the module and rebooted my phone but if I try to set the default install location to the SD card it doesn't change. I use ROM toolbox lite that gives you the possibility to change it using Apps2SD but I can only leave it to "Auto".

Stuck on moving to SDcard

I have Alcatel 5054D with a nonrooted Lollipop (5.1.1) on board. I tried to move some apps to SDcard by pressing "Move to SDcard". Some of these apps moved successfully and some stuck in "Moving" state. I tried to reinstall these stuck apps, but they still show "Moving" instead of "Move to SDcard/telephone". Clearing cache and rebooting the phone doesn't help either. I do not understand if they still in the phone memory or on the card. Any suggestions?
Not all apps are movable to the SD card. They're most likely on the internal. If you root you can get LINK2SD app and it will move everything you wish

I know that not all the apps are movable to the SD card. I could not have been able to see "Move to SD card" in this case. But the apps that stuck in moving to SDcard are movable, e.g. Skype.
Link2SD doesn't work on non rooted devices.
I am having the same problem. I have tried rebooting the phone, uninstalling and reinstalling app, clearing the cache. None of this works. Still says moving. Any ideas?
Same phone, same problem, no custom rom to root with, no support for model on Alcatel website. Can't even update existing apps because phone too full, need to finish moving these apps ... nobody knows how? Searched for an hour already
