[Q] Best way to move apps and games to external SD ? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have many Gameloft games and apps and I'm looking for the best way to move it to the external memory (I have a 32GB Class 10 MicroSD card).
Thanks

Try apps2SD from market.

Thanks, but it can only move apps from the phone memory to the internal sd and not from internal sd to external sd...
Did some one try this app by any chance ?

I can see 3 kinds of memory in my SGS2 (except from the 1Gb ram). Device memory (0.98GB used/0.98GB free), Internal SD card storage (11GB used/726MB free) and External SD card storage (my 32GB microsd card).
I want to move some of my apps that on my internal sd to the external sd... the apps2sd can only move apps from the device memory to the internal memory...

[Q] Internal SD, External SD and app2SD questions

I seem to have trouble grasping the concept of Internal and external SD memory.
I purchased a 16GB microSD card with the hopes that I can move most of my apps to that card but when I use app2sd I always get the "Failed to move application, not enough memory" error.
When I check the free space it shows more than 13GB on both the internal memory and also on the microSD card.
Since my gtablet has 16GB of "internal" storage already, what's microSD card good for?
Shouldn't I be able to move apps to either internal or external SD storage or am I just not understanding how this all works?
Can someone explain to me in Layman's terms what I need to do?
Thanks !!
PS: I just now accidentally reformatted my internal SD card so I will have to start from scratch anyways ;-)

From what I understand, app2sd functionality is built into Froyo & beyond. No need for a separate app.
In laymans terms, your 16GB internal sd is split in 2, 2GB for apps & 14 gb for data.I have 88 apps installed & it is only using 492MB of the 2GB. Apps install to the 2GB area, but the (and the system) use the 14 GB data area for storage. You can also use this space for dat/files storage as well.
The external microsd slot is generally used by you for data storage. You can use it for what ever you like. I use mine to store copies of different roms/nvflash, movies/video/pictures & music transferred from the PC.

[Q] Extending memory? (USB Storage)

I have a 16GB micro SD in my S2 and it's nearly empty. I only bought it because I thought it could extend the internal memory (USB Storage) so I can move more apps to SD card.
So far, I've found Link2SD, which is sh*t. Is there any way I can join the internal storage with my SD card to extend it? Can it be done using Directory Bind?
PS please don't give me something which has a limit of 1GB. 1GB is nothing for me

have u tried 'Apps2sd' form stores if not try the same and see, also if ur phone is rooted u can use 'Gemini app manager' and see
That app will only move the app from internal memory to USB storage. Not external memory card

[Q] Move apps to SD card

Anybody can tell how to move apps to SD card ?
I am unable to move my apps from phone memory to SD card.
I have 64gb Sandisk Class 10 memory card.
I dont get any options to move them to sd card in the app manager.
I also installed app2sd application but it says my phone doesnot have a real primary source of memory or my memory source is emulated.
How do i transfer ?? I have these 2gb and 4gb games which i want to transfer to memory card.

Not possible only thing to do is to swap your internal memory for sd ext.
Need root for that and mod to swap.
It will make your sd card internal memory 64 gb and your internal 16 gb will beed read like external music pictures ect.
Why there is no way to move or install apps on SD?
Most of phone have this simple thing...!!!
Could it be from Jelly Bean?
Any ideas or how to solve it?
We need a solution other than Sapping or rooting
For those large game files. (although I have yet to see a 4 gb game..) you can use directory bind. You link a certain directory (in this case a game data folder in android/data) to make the game use your micro sd memory card.

Swapping Internal and External SD Card?

See question. 2 and 9 gb of space is not cutting it for me with a lot of programs not allowing you to move stuff to the external sd card. Is there a way that works for the amaze to move data to the external sd card?

you can use almost any file manager with root premissons or not in order to move stuff from your internal storage to your sd card.. the only issue is you have to be careful of what you move because not every app will function properly if moved to external storage.. i think titanium backup also allows you to batch move apps to the phones internal storage (not system storage that's the 2gb)

link2SD, move applications to SD card even if it doesn't allow to (it's built-in to ROMS for phones with smaler internal memory, like my low-end Optimus T with 150MB internal)
however, the speed of the SD card is generally slower than internal memory... just a small warning
another option would be the app 'gl to sd' (or something similar to that).
its free and its main use is to save the gameloft game data to your external sdcard. ive tried it and it works with the games. i do believe it'll allow you to move other app data as well.

Can i use the external SD card as internal storage on lollipop?

Hey guy,
can i use the external sd card as internal storage on android 5.0.1? My girlfriends samsung galaxy s4 value edition (I9515) has a very small internal storage but she cant do any app on the 64 GB external sd card. So i want to simulate the external sd card as internal storage. Is this possible on lollipop`?
Greetings,
ChrisXCore
Don't believe there are any options for that on newer updates. Pretty sure you are limited to using apps like Links2SD or Foldermount to free up some space on the internal storage.

This is not possible if developer doesn't build a rom which have supported moving apps from internal to externalSD.
Thank you
