I have ZDBOX installed on my nook tablet and used it to move apps to my sd card. The only problem is now I cannot find the apps. If I'm in ZDBOX, go to the App to SD tab, and click on - ON SD CARD, NOTHING is there! The app is also now missing from my App Manager. Did I lose the app? How can I find it? What's the use of having the SD card if I can't move anything to it!
Are you using the stock ROM? It does not play well with moving apps to the SD card. Not something B&N intended, I guess.

Yes I am. So these apps are now lost?
If I recall correctly, that is the case. What is motivating you to move them to the SD card? By default, they are installed to the (larger) B&N partition.

i'm having problems with some of my apps, they are listed as installed in my app manager, but they are missing from my app drawer and their shortcuts from my home screen just looks like the default .apk icon, but they are running properly. :| how can i fix this?

this happens due to sd card unmounts. the apps installed on your sd card will be affected.
possible fix: move them to phone memory, restart phone, move them back to sd card.
if that does not work, create their backup using astro and reinstall them.
so you mean to say that there's a problem with my card?

Well as the post says. I'm running out of memory on my internal and for some reason nothing's going to my SD card

And I'm installing Gameloft games so I really need the SD card but if I put the data there the game no longer recognized the data until it was moved back

Thanks for the reply guys but Im not trying to move my apps to the sd card . Im trying to make the data that the apps download go to the sd card

I don't think you can. The internal storage is mounted to /mnt/sdcard, and apps seem to always put their downloaded data on /mnt/sdcard. Only tip I can give is to move all your music, pics and videos to the external card to make room for the app data.
Or, move game data to the external sd card when you're not using it, then move it back when you want to play that game.

Hey guys I figured out that cyanogen has that option to use internal or external sd for data storage. Is there a stock rom that offers it?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
No, at least not on any stock based android I've seen. Cyanogenmod was designed to be installed onto the ext sd card. The 'option' it gives is to use the internal, not the other way around. Technical difference, but nonetheless.
I've never seen a stock based 'prom' (that's for you gary) for any phone that had android installed onto the ext sd card.

It's there a way to get the gameloft games to use an actual sd cards instead of the internal memory for the additional data? I'm running out of space too quickly. Thanks.

Look for App2SD in the Market. This should have been in Themes and Apps, BTW.
That's not what I mean. Games and apps look to the internal memory, which is labeled sdcard. Our sd card seems to be labeled external sdcard. If an app needs to install extra data, I want to know if there is way to get it to install to the external sdcard?

Im wondering the same thing. The only way I've been able to solve it is to flash cyanogen mod and it has an option there. I moved my modern combat 3 data to the external sd after i checked use external and it worked And it kept my saved data
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
Thanks I might look into that. This is the first Android phone I haven't needed to root or install another ROM on it.

There is a couple workarounds for this situation. Easiest and best way I like to go at it is just download "gl to sd" from the market. Pretty simple directions, basically it allows you to dl your app then for all gameloft games like 9MM, MW3 etc..and even some other huge extra data games it lets you move the huge extra data download to your external sd card and play the games as normal. It You wont notice any difference in speed,graphics, etc... I've saved myself about 8-9gigs so far easily on internal sd. If your a heavy game player or even occosional but dont want to bother copying files back and forth etc.. Make sure you go with a 32gig ext sd card. My 16gig started filling up very quickly once I found this program .
Any questions with the app let me know, the instructions are a little vague, but if you read reviews ppl explain in detail in case any of it confuses you, but its really pretty easy.
Have fun!
I believe tibu has a batch operation that'll move to sd. Not sure if it move to internal or external tho.
Thanks this sounds promising.

You should try app2zip app on the market recommend by bfitz26. It make a zip of your apps and you can just flash them to any rom.

I need to move them to sd cuz the sgs3 only holds a terrible 11 gb of data and some apps now are 1-2 gb so what I can only have 5 games? so dumb... I tried apps 2 sd but for some reason its not working, titanium backup isnt letting me move apps to sd either too
Also I can't even look at my SD Cards files from my phone? Wtf samsung do you not have sd card support?

It's a much bigger issue than this phone. Read this.... http://www.chainfire.eu/articles/113/Is_Google_blocking_apps_writing_to_SD_cards_
So basically samsung is preventing the sd card from really being very usable on purpose?
Seems that I have no room left on my phone storage & tons of space left on my SD card. How can I get my phone to put everything on the card, by default??
Would this work: if I hook my phone up to my PC, then just took all the folders on my phone storage, and moved them to the Card. Would my apps & stuff still work or would doing that not be good??

I don't think just copying the apps will allow them to work. You can use Application Manager to move some apps to the sd card.
I went thru all my apps & moved whichever ones I was able to move. But I did that a long time ago. So I still have no room on my phone storage.

Move photos, downloads and any music on your phone to your SD card too. Then in your camera app go to settings and change the SD card as default.
Download the free version of SD Maid and use it to clean up old thumbnails and program files still on your phone from before you moved them.
I once deleted 2gb of photo gallery thumbnails from my phone with this app. You can also see which files are the largest on your phone and SD card to see if you can move or delete anything.
I have this app on my phone, tab, and my kids tabs to keep up with their memory and storage usage.

Thanks, I'm also running out of space, I'll give this a shot.
Tonight I was gonna try to just backup all my.stuff and then start over. I use GO launcher and I saw that I have GO backup on my phone, so I was gonna try to.use that. I started the app & it said my SD card is corrupted or damaged. I included a screenshot of what it said:
So would this be the reason why everything is on my internal storage instead of my card? Or is that message just something I.should ignore??

If you have a card reader unmount your SD card, take it out and try reading it on a computer. If you can read it I would copy everything off and put in a temporary folder on your desktop. Then format the card with the computer and put it back in the phone, format it using the phone and try your back-up again.
If it works put the card back in your computer and copy your files back. Be sure to unmount the card each time. Mine went corrupt once because I didn't.
How do I make the SD card, the default storage for everything? Or is that not possible...

You would have to change defaults on all your apps, camera is a big one.
