[Q] Samsung Tab 2 Apps to External SD Card

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.

[Q] Swap external SD Card for internal memory, running 4.2.2?

I'm running CM 4.2.2 on my Galaxy Tablet 2, 7" American model 3113.
Looking for a way to swap the external sd card with the internal memory.
There are some methods listed in these forums but from the ones i've seen they don't work on 4.2.+
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry, i tried to delete the post & move the post to the Q&A section. But it won't seem to allow me to.

Yeah, I am looking for a way to do this too. Or is there any way to mount the external SD card to the internal SD card memory? As the internal memory now is not enough for me but the 32 GB SD card can't seem to be used to install apps.

to all my friends who have posted about swapping i would like to suggest you that please do not go for swapping
it increases read write cycles of sd card resulting in damage of it
my 16 gb sandisk class 10 sd card died in this swapping
some people may say that swapping is helpful but all are not that much lucky and get there sd card damaged
i also has a galaxy ace
even on that phone which has so less ram i dont use swapping then why you people trying it on this tab which has descent ram
i would suggest please dont go for it as its for your own benefit
i am saying all this after experiencing it

[Q] App to SD Problem in 4.2.2

I have a weird problem. I am using my Xperia L, running 4.2.2(Out of The Box) with the latest official Firmware. Its not rooted.
4.2.2+ supports moving Apps to SD without Root.
I have Noticed one thing. If youre going to Buy a New Phone Running 4.2.2+, If you start the phone for the first time(just after buying), with no memory card, after youve switched on the phone and try to move Apps to SD, it wont Happen!! The apps will only move to the Internal Storage.
But,if you start the phone(For the First Time) with memory card Inserted, then it will recognize the mem Card as Your external storage. From settings now you can move Apps to SD.
Why does this Happen??
Can anyone help me to solve this??
Factory reset Is an option i Know but I wanted to Know if Other solutions Existed.
I tested It with Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 and Moto E , by Inserting the Mem card first, Then Starting the Phone (for the First time). For Both of the phones, the Mem card was taken as the external and apps could be the Moved to SD via Settings.
But for my Xperia L, I didnt insert the Memory card and switched it on(just after buying) . When I inserted the Mem Card later, and tried to Move Movable apps to SD, the apps would only move to The Internal Memory.
Thank You in Advance.

we cannot move apps directly to external memory, we are only allowed to move apps to internal..but if u wanted to move apps on external, u nid to swap them but its too risky if u dont know what u are doing.

[Completed] Samsung Galaxy Prevail 2 Help

I'm in need of a custom ROM for this phone, and I can't find one anywhere, and I'm not sure where to post this. I can't find any ROM that actually has this phone listed as a supported device. It has a single core 1.4GHz processor, 829MBs of RAM, 1.96GBs of internal storage and I have a 8GB SD card installed. I cannot install any apps onto the SD card no matter what I do, and this is my ultimate goal. I'd like to play Real Racing 3 but there's no way I can as I don't have enough internal storage, but I do have enough on the SD card. Every App2SD app I've used won't allow me to move them over, unless I format the card, which I haven't as I have personal data I need on it. I'm not sure if it would even work if I tried, but I will later this evening. I just wanted to know if there were any ROMs that could run on the phone, even if they weren't made for the phone. Any and all help is appreciated. It currently runs on the stock Android 4.1.2 Jellybean with Samsung's TouchWiz UI.

As to the SD card, you can back the data on a PC then format the card.

Installing custom Rom on 16GB External SD Card

hello Guys!
I am using a Karbonn Titanium S5 plus and its specs are pretty good for me. The only issue I have is that the internal memory is low and so I was thinking maybe somehow I can install my custom ROM on my 16Gb External SD Card. Well the question is clear I hope... Do I have any option to do this ?? If yes then then any guidance would be a great help.
*** P.S. : I thought of changing the updater-script file, the part where the where the mount points are mentioned. i thought of changing those points to the external sd card but then without proper knowledge I backed off and thought to put the question here.
:fingers-crossed:
