Titanium Backup. You can batch move apps or do them individually, just be careful what you move. Widgets won't work when you move them to the SD card.

Look for a2sd, much better. Basically you just make your internal storage bigger with help of the sd card. But android thinks your internal storage is bigger.

Link2sd, if you're up to partitioning your sd card. Free on the market.

There a quite a few Apps in the Market that do this. But another option is to run your Rom throught the Android Kitchen, and make it A2SD capable. That way you can enable it with either ADB, or Android Terminal. Then everytime you load an App, it goes to your SD Card automatically.

absolute system on motorola atrix

guys i am using a motorola atrix unlocked and rooted....
i installed absolute system and checked sd card instead of auto or internal in the app2sd option that is available in the app absolute system....
and i was able to move many of the system apps including absolute system to sd card....
now i resarted my phone and all the apps that i moved to sd card using app2sd pro are not working....pls help me guys...

I would mount the sd card as an external drive and delete the apps from the sd card. Then you can just buy the apps again from the market. If you moved non-market apps then you may be stuck flashing a fresh SBF.
I suppose you may be able to move them back manually using Root Explorer, but that seems like a pain to do.

[Q] Move apps to external sd

Hello!
Im sure that i'm not the first person who post this, but i can't find a similar thread with a good answer.
The most threads like this go like this:
"Person A: OMG! My internal sd is almost full! How can i move apps to the External Sd card?
Person B: Go to apps and move to sd
Person C: No, thats not correct, you only move the apps to the internal sd and not to the External sd."
End Of thread
So I ask it here and hope i get a answer that's really useful:
I just moved to the S2, and i installed some awesome apps from gameloft.
But Gameloft's games (and other 3d games) are pretty huge! I only have 2 gb left on my Internal SD (Usb-Storage).
Soon i will get a 16 Gb Sd card from samsung, but how can i move apps or their data to the External sd? The only app i know that can be moved to Ext. Sd is Spotify.
Is there a mod or rom that allows you to move to Int. memory, Int. Sd and Ext. Sd?
Or is it mayby Possible to rename the Ext. Sd card to for ex. Android or Downloads?
If its not possible to move apps to Ext. SD, what can i do with the Ext. Sd?
And Why gives samsung a 16 gb card if you can't move apps to it? Could they not better give a 32gb Sgs2?
Thanx in advance!
Btw,
If this Question gets a good answer if it is possible or not,
can the moderator make this a sticky thread?
That wil save some time from the ppl who just get a Sgs2!
(I really searched some days before i posted this)

What you are looking for is not supported by any Android system sofar, that to install the apps on external SD ,
But android is allowing you to create an additioan system partition which called "SD-Ext" on your internel SD card which enables such phones which are having very low system memory.
"SD-ext" is defined as:
sd-ext
This is not a standard Android partition, but has become popular in the custom ROM scene. It is basically an additional partition on your SD card that acts as the /data partition when used with certain ROMs that have special features called APP2SD+ or data2ext enabled. It is especially useful on devices with little internal memory allotted to the /data partition. Thus, users who want to install more programs than the internal memory allows can make this partition and use it with a custom ROM that supports this feature, to get additional storage for installing their apps. Wiping this partition is essentially the same as wiping the /data partition – you lose your contacts, SMS, market apps and settings.
But unfortunatly any of the current SGS2 ROMs are not supporting to do this.
the maximum you can do is what JJE has recommended.
Aww.....
I forgot to thank you for your post.
Thanks!
Will this be supported by any rom? Soon?

Move GameLoft data to External SD
Just found this app as I was wondering the same thing, and the app works treat. GL to SD is what you want, and can move some app data from the internal SD and phone storage to external SD. It's free in the market, and damn glad they have it!
Thanks!

Music, movies, media, videos, pictures, etc?
Maybe.
You can easily create fat32 partition then ext2 partition.After that install link2sd from playstore and voila.All of your apps can store directly to EXTERNAL SD.

I started a thread back in May when i got the phone. Since in SIII they have one partition now for all apps the app2sd is not required. If you see you'll have one huge SD space 11.gb available for all apps and that's the SD card so you dont need or can't use app2SD.
But I have already used the SD card (phone's) 's 3.4 GB solely for Apps. Now I want to transfer the bulky apps to the "real" microSD card. I hope It was possible...
you can use the app from google play; gl to sd!
it's working great but you need to have ROOT

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 I8160L+SD CARD

Hi,
As u can see in the title, I own a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 I8160L.
It has 4gb internal storage but only about 1.1gb user available. Most of the more exciting games have data that are 1.5gb and more.
Is there a way to install these games and have the sd data go to my external micro sd card and not the internal 1.1gb 'sd card'?
Thanks in advance, Nate
Are you root? Because you could try Directory Bind
Im not rooted as yet. And im not familiar with directory bind. Will look it up tho.

Is there any root free solution tho? I will root but only as a laat resort

Yeah, I am also looking for some root free method to swap sd card and external card in my galaxy ace 2.
I dont really know why in samsung phones our external sd card is nt treated as an sd card.
I had htc one v prior to this phone and atleast one good thing abt that phone was it would move apps to external sd card not to internal storage like samsung phones.
Now with this phone (galaxy ace 2), external sd card size is quite irrelevant for apps, coz this phone counts the internal usb storage which is only 1GB as sd card.
Anyways if u find any root free method to swap storage, plz post it here too.
Thanks.

Thanks for your response.
But I donot want to root my phone :-$
I am not expert at it, so dont want to take the risk. Plus this phone has a little community, so in case if something goes wrong with rooting, it might become difficult to find help...
I think I wld have to bear this storage issue. :-S

Thanks for the link.
Did u try it? Does it move the app to external card? Or to the usb/internal storage?
And i think (not sure) as far as app data is concerned, it does not take too much of storage, so it shd not be an issue.
And i m not an expert in rooting, so i think i wont go for it. But lets see.
Sent from my GT-I8160 using xda app-developers app
Yea it works for most apps. And if not. When u move them to the sd card thru the app manager they move to the external storage. This doesn't apply to system apps or the large sd data files that accompany those huge games that need additional data.
Sent from my GT-I8160L using Tapatalk 2
Okay right.
Actually the problem is when we go to settings-apps-sd card, it shows the usb/internal storage there, not the actual external sd card. So when i move any app to sd card (which is moveable), it is moves to the internal usb storage (which the phone considers as sd card storage).
But i ll give this trick a try.
And one last thing how did u confirm it that with this trick, apps are now being moved to external storage and not to the internal usb storage?

Checked the storage before and after moving apps. And also i took my sd card out. Put it in a card reader and found the apps in a folder on the micro sd card called android secure

Solution to this is rooting, and using directory bind. I currently have asphalt 7(1.4gb) Real racing 2, Dead Space, Shadow Gun etc installed and running fine from my external sd card
GB
Jellycream rom will sort that out, it swaps the vold file and you will be able to download bigger files.
can i?
can i play games form external sd card like games 1.8 and .15 gb ?
Nice

MeanRom 6.0 and sd apps

i have a 16gb sd card in and am running MeanRom 6.0, the problem i ham having is whenever i go into apps and try to move to sd, there is no option on doing so.
You can use titanium backup or android assistant.
Maybe the app you trying to move is not app2sd compatible try moving a different app like Netflix or Pandora. See if its work
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
If you use Titanium backup theirs two different places you can put your app in and that's internal memory and SD card. I believe what he's trying to ask is, can he put the app in the Ext SD card.
Theirs three memory places are phone has, Internal, SD card or Ext card. TBU only shows internal or SD card to save them in, not Ext SD card.
