I use an android phone running 4.2.1 before i started using the rom nexus 5 by exclavu which runs 4.4.2. But I recently discovered it was a lie because it still runs 4.2 and if i check i still see 4.4... Could it be that the rom is the problem or is there any fix? Also due to my phone's little storage, i partitioned my 16gb sd card and i started using link2sd and i enjoyed it but now some of my apps keep crashing and i dont know what to do... Please help!!:crying:

Hello,
Maybe the OP just changed it in build.prop hence It is still 4.2 but shows 4.4.
Also, some of apps dont work correctly when linked to SD Card, they need to be in internal storage itself.

Hi All,
I've two tablets and the internal free space in getting lower, I need to install apps directly on their external sd cards. How is it possible? All the "2SD" apps don't work.
Thank you all in advance :good:

You can't unless you root the tablet and use non standard software.

Really...... I was under the impression that it could not be done at all.
Please tell how as I would like to know also.
Thanks.

didnt figure this out but u can use titanium and move those on the device to leave more space for other installations.
If you are rooted and on a stock ROM or ROM not using JB 4.2 (Google changed the file structure again in JB 4.2), you may be abe to use zedomax's script that swaps the internal and external SD cards. Although it's long, I would suggest reading through the entire thread as glitches with the stock ROM update to JB 4.1.2 and work arounds are addressed later in the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857391&page=1
I'm interested in this as well. I read a post on something called a directory bind...??? I guess that moves app data to the SD card. I currently have just over 9 gig of space left to fill (16gig model). Just put in a class 10 32gb card in last night to find out that app2sd does not work...
I read today that link2sd might work. Haven't gotten a chance to try it yet though.

I tried link2sd and the other one mentioned in this thread with no luck.
I don't really want to do the the card swap method.
So........... if anyone has another way to store apps on a mico sdhc card that truly works, I'm in.
Found app that truly works
I finally found an app that truly transfers your app data to your "extSdCard" but you do need to have root.
The app is called "Directoryblind" and can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262 and the most current file is DirectoryBind_0.2.0o.apk
The app has been out since 12-2011 with many updates since its release.
So I'm posting it on this Note 10.1 section as I have never seen it talked about in this section and I thought it may help someone else find this app.
Again it truly does work.

Hello! I think that needs another topic.
A small question about the problem with SD card on the p5100.
As of 4.1 or 4.2 google has introduced the 'cool' feature - multi-profile system.
Okay, everything is good, but with this 'cool' feature they have changed something with SD cards. Now internal memory is divided to the internal memory and internal SD-card which is considered as an external SD card. All apps are installed there, and my external SD card (32 gb) is now useless. Ofc, I can explore it on a file explorer, but the system thinks it is the second SD card and don't want to move any apps there.
And that's the problem. All apps are instaled on the internal-external SD card and the free-space is.. You know.
I can't update my apps, I can't download new apps - no memory alert.
Cyanogenmod nightly 10.2
So, is there any way to fix it, like Samsung has done to SGS3?
It's getting everything out of me.
On my phone everything is ok, but on the tablet.. :/
And please don't say google it.
I'm searching for this fix for.. months. Can't find anything so posted here.

Already tried.
"App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your Device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to your SD card.
That's the problem.
Apps are already installed on the SD card but the wrong one.
Anyway, the emulated SD card has 10 GB free space, the 'proper' SD card has 25GB free.
When I try to update something on G Play, or install any app from my explorer - error, no enough free space.
Oh come on.

Where is that "no enough free space"?
For a 200 KB update?!
/edit:
And I think that 'canceling the emulation' of the internal SD card will do a lot for me.. But how. :/

I don't see any app called 'root & clean master'. Anyway can't install any app because I 'don't have enough space'.
Check your internal memory using a pc and see exactly what you have stored there. Over 10GB should be enough for a 200KB update. I suspect something is wrong with your tablet.
Anyway, hard reseted. You can close the topic.

I just got a p3110 last week and have this same issue, Its only a 8gb and I want to install apps to the sd and it will not, did you fix yours? how?
You cannot move or install apps to the external sd card. Only the internal storage. There are methods if you are rooted. Read down the forum topics. There are a few threads discussing this. But stock tablets do not install apps to the external sd card.

Install link2sd
Create a new ext3 partition of desired size in ur external sd using mini partition tool.
Then use this partition to move all your apps using link2sd...
I had done this procedure in my old galaxy y because it had very less internal storage....
I haven't checked it on my tab though... but why don't u give it a try...

CM10.2 isn't yet working flawless on the Tab 2. I have tried nightlies 10 days ago and on 23th but none of them worked as good as stable CM10.1.1 does.
EDIT: I've flashed today CM10.2 nightly 20130826 and finally everything in my p5110 seems to work

Hello,first of all,i wanna emphasize that i have seen lots of threads like this but none solved my "problem"
What i wanna do is swap my sd card with the usb storage.
I have a samsung galaxy s advance I9070
I have the stock rom gingerbread and its not rooted but i can do it if its needed.
Is there a possibility to swap the memory?
I wanna swap it because i want the apps/games and files to be installed directly to the sd card
Thanks in advance

Device: Micromax Canvas Spark Q380
Android Version: Lollipop 5.0
UI: Stock with Android N-ify
Problem: I partitioned my 32GB SD card and used 'App2SD' app but it says that my external storage is emulated with internal(or maybe vice versa). I only have 8GB internal storage so I'm pretty limited here. Is there any solution for this? Oh, I might flash a custom ROM(which has Move App to SD card or adaptive storage feature) but I'm saving it for last because somebody told me that I cannot delete a ROM once I flash it on a device(Lemme know please if that is wrong and ROMs can be removed once flashed).
Thanks. You guys have been great and very helpful.

if you have root, there are a number of different apps that you can use for that.

like? I've used many like External2Internal but nothing quite worked, although I was somehow successful to make SD card as direct location to store downloads, etc but that really isn't my point. I can always use a cloud for those stuff.

Hi,
my Z3's internal memory is always full... 16 GB are surely not enough. Problem is, there are some apps that store data in the internal memory and they have no setting to change this. I already deleted all apps which were dispensable and moved all possible apps to sd card, using system menu.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? I rooted my Z3 this way: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/recovery-root-mm-575-291-lb-t3435214
And I have Xposed installed. Unfortunately its module XInternalSD does not help in this respect though.
Is it for example possible to permanently mount folders on sd card as internal folders? Manually or with some tool?
Thank you
Look here under "further hints" to get an idea what you can do about that.

So you think that an SD card partly formatted as adoptable storage would be the solution?
Do you know if this will work with stock Android 6.0.1?

Not exactly sure, haven't used a stock based ROM since years. But that feature was introduced with Android 6, so it might work. As a LineageOS developer, I recommend switching to an Lineage ROM (or any derivative thereof) of course.
Here is an approach using symlinks. Looks quite good. https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/pull/9015#issuecomment-671271504
