miui v10.4 apps not moving to external sd HELP!!!

Hello everyone...
this is my first post on xda since i couldnt find any solution if i'm at fault kindly bear with me
1. i flashed my gt i9003 with miui v10.4 a week ago and everything was going fine
2. but today i suddenly got a notification that my storage was full
3. when i checked i noticed that the apps i installed were on internal sd card which is just 2gb(1.7gb usable)
4. i tried moving some apps which were installed on phone memory only to see them move to internal sd card.
5. i have a 32 gb external sd card which is visible in file explorer and i can browse the files but the apps when moved from phone memory doesnt move to external sd card.
6. kindly help me out with the above issue where i can move the apps i installed on phone memory to external sd card so that i can use it for installing games and not limit its usage to just songs and videos.
7. thank you
As much as i have used miui-gb i think external sd sometimes stay as external_sd folder only...try to format or reflash the rom.
As phone is having 1.85 gb of internal memory why dont u use it until it doesnt get full ???
U can use sd swap which will interchange internal and external sd.

New SDcard

Hi guys.
I have a 4 gigabyte sd card and I have installed cynogenmod7 on it. I have no back up from stock rom. Now I've decided to change my sd card to have more capacity. My questions are:
1. Does a 16 gigabyte sd card(class 10) work smooth on P500?
2. Since my custom rom is installed on sdcard it means if I change sdcard I no longer have any rom installed on my device. I want too root my device and reinstall cm7 again but just on a new sdcard. What should I do now?
16 GB sd card works great on my lg p505
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
I have a 16gb card and it works great.
If you have a rom installed to your sd card, it will be gone when you change sd cards. You'll have to put in the new card and set the rom up again. Just do what you did to get the rom on your first sd card, but do it on the new card.

Move apps to SD card

hi, first of, I'm using stock rom & rooted , since I didn't have much time to install and try to see which rom cook is stable for my phone.
I have SD card around 16GB.
I want to be able to move apps to SD card so that I can install more apps. does anyone have any idea to safely install Link2sd (or any similar apps) on stock rom ?
What you'll have to do is partition your SD card, then download and set up link2sd. I'd recommend googling "link2sd tutorial"
if I partition my sd-card , it will delete all content from sd-card?
Yep u can copy it to pc before partition

How to use SD card as internal memory

Hello All
I have been searching for an answer to this but cannot find it so decided to start a new thread. I am sorry if this is a repeat thread.
I have HTC Chacha (A810e). I have a 8gb sd card and i want to know a way to trick the OS into thinking that my SD card is the internal memory and my internal memory is the sd card. This way i would be able to install apps and updates without the issue of low memory. With this, all the android system files will be copied to the SD card as well.
I have successfully rooted my phone and installed the CWM recovery, eventhough it is s-on currently.
I request u all to kindly look into this matter and help me out please.
Hope to hear from you all soon. Thanks
currently i use Link2SD app
but first you need to have a second ext partition on SD card
it moves installed applications to the SD card

Try cronmod INT2EXT+ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124 :good:
Note: works with a ext2/3 partition and the latest cm11 cwm
