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.

My phone,Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 is telling me that it's internal memory is almost full but there is still 18.29MB.
Why is this happening,Is there any solution???
Having only 18.29Mb left does sound "almost full".
Move some apps to SD and free the space.
life!
Still a nooby i dont know how to move apps to sd can u please guide me,and if i move apps to sd is it risky in any ways
You can do it easily with app like App2SD (You can find it in store).
It is safe and quite easy.
Use search in Play store, i cannot post it in here.
You can use Link2SD - its an app to move other apps between SD and internal memory - it can use internal App2SD method or you can create ext2/3/4 partition on the SD card and use it as expand to internal memory. Nice and easy to use app.
Use ext partition. Use link2sd or S2E
Just search for a tutorial in google. Is a good way to devices low-end
Sorry for bad english!
I think its not necessary.... Galaxy Mini comes with Android 2.2 froyo by default. If ur running any Android OS after Froyo or still on it, then,
Go to Settings > Applications > (choose the one that's too big in size) > If it supports moving to SD Card option would be present there to move it ...just click it...
Do for other apps if necessary..
Hope it helped

No prob thanks lot
+1 for link2sd, but it requires rooting. I'm using it too on a similar low end android phone(the 5570i variant). But I recommend the ext2 filesystem for the sd card's second partition. It's the best for that purpose. But if you dont want to root, there is still the builtin moving to sd card option in application preferences.
I have a tablet (Made by a company called MyAudio, they are only in our country so i wouldn't be suprised if you guys didn't heard about them). It has an 504MB internal memory (for OS and stock apps) and an 5,75GB INTERNAL SD Card. The problem is that it installs the downloaded apps to the internal memory and not the card, so it can't be really used. Also 504 GB storing the OS and ALL apps is clearly not enough for anyone. I only have like 100 megabytes for installing apps. The tablet is running Ice Cream Sandwich, so the apps can be moved to the Int. sd card, but not all of them, and also I can't even install apps that are too big, because it installs them on the int. memory first, and THEN sometimes they can be moved to the SD card. So is there any solution to this?
Hi,
You may possibly need to Root the device, if there's a way, and use something like "Link2SD" app to install on external sd.
I need your exact model number to see if info on this already exists on XDA. Though very likely you'll need to ask for help here,

Good luck!
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.
Hi!
I recently used application Mounts2sd on my samsung galaxy XCover2 (s7710) to move the apps from internal storage to sd (i am running Cyanogenmod 10.1). I moved my applications and media files to sd card, but I left the cache and system apps on internal storage. After that my applications started lagging (UC Browser is lagging all the time for example), so I would like to move the apps back from sd card to internal storage. Is this possible without previous backup? Or do I have to factory reset the phone? I didn't find anything on that subject on google.... Thank you in advance!

I am having Gionee s5.1 phone with 16GB storage (no SD Card support) running on 4.4.2 Android version. The phone storage divided into 2 sections:
6.25 - This is called Internal Storage. Android version is installed on this with pre installed applications.
9.75 - This is used for media storage and currently no file or images in this storage.
I have uninstall all the unnecessary applications (Pre-installed) from the phone and keep only Cleanmaster, Whatsapp, Facebook Messagner and imo. I have automatic update of apps is off as well as from google play store.
Now the problem is, when I bought this phone it has around 2.3 GB space available and a week back, with above configuration and application, it shows mes only 471 MB space left. I have gone through each and every application manually and removed the cache also used Cleanmaster for the same but no help.
Someone told me to do Factory Reset to resolve this and I do last week. At that time my internal storage back to 2.63 GB free of 6.25 GB allocated and I am happy. Again I configured my phone with above software and disabled the auto update of apps from google apps a week ago. Today, when I go to Settings -> Storage, it shows only 400 MB space left of 6.25 GB. I am not sure what to do and how to deal with this situation. I googled solutions to deal with it like root the phone (King root used) and use Link2SD or App2SD to move the apps but those app said SD partition not mount. I tried minipartition wizard to partition for 9.75GB as shown on the various blgs, but my phone shows message of Corrupted SD Card. No luck... :crying:
Can any one let me know how can I merge internal storage (6.25 GB) with phone storage (9.75 GB) to use the phone without any issue?
Or
How can I use the Phone Storage as Internal Storage and move applications to Phone storage?
Urgent help is greatly appreciated...
