Hi everyone!
I have a doubt, installation of APP to SD Card, normal? When trying to move, the system indicates that there is insufficient memory ... But enough memory! What I can do? Thanks for your answers and happy new year
The apps are typically installed to /system/app partition. This is sized to be 500 mb by default. Hence larger apps do try to install to external SD card or you can move them there. You will need to remove some of the apps in order to make enough space to move larger apps. Please review [Guide] REAL guide for FULL Apps2SD using Clockwork. [UPDT 9.28.2012]
Although that thread is located on a different device's forum, it will apply to your device as well.
The problem persists, the room I use is cyanogen 12.0 for samsung galaxy s4
What I can do?
Please post if you have US Variant of the S4 or International one. If US then the Carrier too.

Hey Guys,
I recently purchased Samsung Galaxy Blaze(T-Mobile, USA). I am trying to install Aura Sygic on this phone.
Installation of the core application goes fine without any error, but when I am trying to download complete USA maps, it's throwing an error "Not enough size available". Basically it's trying to download all the map data(around 4 GB) over the phone memory instead of SD card.
By default this phone comes with 4GB SD card and I am planning to buy another 16 GB SDHC card, but I am not sure, if there is any way to install applications by-default on the SD card instead of phone internal memory.
Posting this thread on XDA, hoping that genius developers can help me here without rooting/voiding the warranty.
Any updates guys?
been wondering about this myself. I do not want to root this phone but I need my apps on sd card not phone only.

It's not perfect.
Hi all,
I've just purchased a Samsung Tab 2 7.0 P3113 due to the fact that it has an external SD Card slot. I have found that I can not move any applications to the external card. This was one of the primary reasons I purchased the device. I have been using android devices for a while and my first Sony X10, was rooted and running custom roms within the first few weeks after I purchased it. In any case, I have read a number of threads, regarding this subject for the Tab 2 but I have not been able to have an installed app be moved to the external SD Card. Most post will say you have to root the device, (which I have) and use apps such as App2SD. I have even gone as far as loading a custom ROM, but no success. My last resort is to actually partition and repackage a ROM for an external 64GB SD Card and attempt to boot off of it so I will have more space. If anyone has truly been able to move an installed app to the external SD Card could you please point me in the right direction.
I would like some help on this too. But the silence is haunting.
Found this under a compilation thread that covers the 3113's and is down further on the same page in this forum.

I hope this helps and sorry for the re-re-re editing
AFAIK (and correct me if Im wrong veterans), is a defect of the OS not hardware. ICS and JB of the GT2's do not allow it as the internal memory is already labeled as sdcard. or that seems to be the prevailing opinion so far. I would like a work around but short of flashing a custom rom and/or kernel it seems unlikely to happen. Downside to that is some things don't work all the way in some roms. Ahh for the old days of my stock+ on my incredible. wait. Im still using it from back last summer and it works fine. TY wildstang!!

Hail Link2SD !!
Only way to move Apps to ExternalSD is using Link2SD for ICS / JB. I have done lot of research and there is no other way.However Link2SD does not move the data files and hence your internal memory will still be filled up as and when you install more apps but at slower rate.
If you want to install games like NFS-MW , Asphalt etc you have to use DirectoryBind tool to move the huge data files (More than 1.5 GB) to external card.
There is a nice tutorial how to use Link2SD here on the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326).
You can use ext4 partition as i found ext2 and ext3 were not being recognized by Link2SD. Just a pointer.
PS: ICS and above no longer support moving apps to SD card. If i am wrong experts correct me.
root is your best bet. check this link, use the script and follow the directions. this script worked wonders. my tab thinks i have 32 gb internal and 4gb sd.

Hi Guys,
I have a Samsung Mega Galaxy i9152. The phones internal storage shows me 399 mb remaining while my SD card has a free space of 14 GB. Is there a way, i can point all apps to download directly to the SD card. I can't clear my internal storage becasue it actually has nothing other than ROM & some few apps. I have tried Link2sd and moved apps to the SD card but not all apps get moved and only 40% of the file gets moved to the SD card. This really is bothering as anytime i need to install something, i need to uninstall something.
Any tips for me?
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist Well except Apps2SD there is no other way you can push to external SD and messing with partitions wont be good idea and can Hard brick phone hence you have to adjust with it
Good Luck!
I want to be able to instal apps on my SD card. Since my phone's space is full with 5 apps.

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
I have had much luck in the past with Link2SD:
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Apps and Games > [APP][1.6+] Link2SD
It leverages space on or SD card by way of a second partition (any size you want, but 2GB is probably enough). If you like it and get the Pro version, you can move the app data to the SD card as well (where the free version moves mostly the APK itself).
Please note, Android still has to download to internal storage, so you may get download fails on larger apps. But without repacking your kernel with a modified fstab (which causes signature and performance problems), Link2SD is your best bet.
Any questions about the app, can be asked in the above thread (once registered for an account)
Hope this helps.
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!
