I used kingroot to root my phone redmi note1, and then move apps via apps2sd.
Apparently everything is working well

OK so I'm going to ask again and I hope someone has a answer.how can I move my apps to my external sd, I am running out of space on my phones SD card. All the other apps2sd only move it to the phones SD. So is there an app that can move the apps to the external SD card. Or is there a way to do it myself

Just open the menu off your home screen settings>applications>manage applications
When you select an app there it gives you the option to "move to sd''
Making bad decision's one at a time.
You have to configure the app to transfer them to the external SD. What apps have you tried?
You said you tried link2sd, I bet you didn't create an ext partition on your sdcard or let that program make a mount script so it can allow the apps to move to ext. Partition.

Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
When you start up link2sd for the first time it asks you to create a ext2,ext3,ext4 or fat16/fat32 mount point. You need to select the one you created(should be ext3 since you made it in cwm) so the program can create a external mount script each time you reboot the phone.
After that has been done you can either single or multiselect apps to move to ext partition. Since I have over 600 apps I batch(multiselect) my apps and choose the option "create link" which will move those apps,library files,cache and library files to my ext4 partition.
Also you will need to quick reboot each time you move any apps to ext so they will be added to mount script, you'll be notified in statusbar when this needs to be done.

I've been trying to use link2SD to move apps to SD card. The SD is partitioned into Fat32 and ext02. However, when I try to select either fat32 or ext02 I recieve the following message: mount script cannot be created - mount : invalid argument. What can I do?

This does not work on ICS and the question would be why would you want to? Plenty of internal memory which is much faster and bug free. App2SD is outdated for old phones that had very small shared memory.
I'm using JB. I only have 500 MB available in internal storage, so i cant install the best games.

so i got my 64GB samsung sd card for my galaxy note 2, and my phone reads it and all, but when i go into CWM recovery it can't be mounted. so i've been searching all over on how to format it to fat32 but kept getting an error with easeUS partition, and a "this drive is too small for fat32 - there must be at least 64 clusters" using the fat32format method.so i tried to format using the option in recovery, the mounts and storage - format /external_sd. after that i checked to see if it would read it and sure enough i could, but when i reboot my phone it says blank sd, and in root explorer it says the file system is read-only. i'm a little brain dead on what to do now since none of the two fat32 formatters worked for me. any solutions?
Use guiformat. Google it.

I've tried that, through the cmd and from the application itself, both gave me the "this drive is too small for fat32 error" that i mentioned in the OP.
Hi developers! I just bought new SD card, but then i realise that i can`t install apps on SD card. I wonder, is there is a way to do it?
I think the only way is by rooting your phone

First of all you need to partition your sd card to ext2 partition (primary) and fat32 partition (primary) and download app named link2sd from play store, then you can create link for data directories for the movable apps. App2sd.sh script is not suppprted on stock rom, I am porting app2sd suppprt for core and the work is in progress

Hello Andrey.
I had the exact same question before some time ago.
Well the easiest method is by installing Link2Sd from Play Store.Its free so no worries!! :laugh:
It requires root and from there you can choose to install applications to external storage.
(That actually didnt work for me but seems to have helped a lot of people so give it a try! )
If that doesnt work you might try to swap the storages
Which cell phone do you have?
Hello.I have Samsung galaxy xcover 2

Hello,
Have you considered using Mount2SD?
With this application, you can move your applications (user, system or both) or the phone cache on your SD card.
2 prerequisites are needed:
-rooted phone
-an ext partition on your sdcard (clockworkmod or any linux distribution do it well)
link to the application: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=mount&fdid=com.spazedog.mounts2sd
How can i create ext partition?Im beginner...
Sent from my GT-S7710 using xda app-developers app
It depend on what you have.
If you used Clockworkmod (CWM) to root your phone, there is an option to format your SD card and create ext partition.
Step to step:
-reboot your phone in recovery mode (for my htc, power+vol down)
-on the CWM menu, go to "advanced" section
-select "Partition SD Card"
CWM let you choose the size of ext partition, swap partition and data partition.
I usually set 512 Mo to ext partition, 0 to swap (no need for me) and remaining for the data.
If you use linux distribution, you can use gparted or kparted.
Remember that creating a new partition will format your data! Make a bakcup!!
I dont have that option in my cwm image.
Sent from my GT-S7710 using xda app-developers app
Maybe too old version. Check if you have the last version for your phone on CWM website and upgrade it if necessary.
Or try an Ubuntu bootable disk.
You can use mini tool in pc to create ext partition in memory card
