Hi
Our Nabi2 is rooted.
I have used the rootexternal2internal sd card app from google-play store to swap the internal and external sd cards.
It has been seeming to work a treat, internal sd card goes from 4gb to 28Gb when you view the settings in daddy-mode (does this even if you dont do the reboot way of doing things).
However, as time has gone on, I now seem to have run out of space on the nabi, when I look at it, the "real" internal sd card is actually now full, with the real external sd card has about same used space on it but loads of empty space too. The real-external is seen by the nabi2 as "internal" but for some reason it must be installing apps from the google store onto the actual internal instead.
Is this an issue anyone else has found? Any suggestions for what Im doing wrong or any workarounds please?
Would really appreciate any help or thoughts.
Thank you for your time.
Alex
I've Uninstalled the app and re downloaded.
The 28gb card still seems to swap ok when you look in system settings but if I install a new app, it's the space on the small card that goes down (this one being shown as external but is actually the internal)
So the settings seems to show like the swap has gone ok but the installation of apps is still going to internal.
Any ideas at all please??
Thanks
Please has anyone any ideas on this?
Although the root2externalsd app looks like it works, apps are still going onto the inside limited-space sd.
Please any advice appreciated

Just got my new s2, seems like i can't move google translate, dolphin or whatever is movable to the internal storage. anyone have any problems? or do i need to install a real microsd card to be able to move the apps to sd? can't i just use the 16gb built in memory as sd for the apps?
Thanks
nvm, got it to work by inserting sd card.
Some apps seem to install to internal memory by default, and some to sd card if one is present.
Even more annoyingly however, many of the apps that default to SD card if you move them to internal memory MOVE BACK TO THE SD CARD when you update them.
Is there any way to prevent apps from automatically installing to the SD card? Or at the very least, installing to SD card is fine... but to prevent them from moving BACK to the sd card when you update them?
I've seen this question in 3 different topics on XDA and none of them is answered. My question is similar to this; Apps are installed on internal memory but app data is on external. As a result i have a completely empty internal memory and a full sd card. Tried possible suggestions on other sites but didn't work. Why can't we choose where to install the app data? How to move the app data back, since app2sd wouldn't work on this situation.
FYI, buy a bigger memory card is NOT a solution, it's a workaround for the actual problem..

Looks like your problem can be solved with "link2sd" which gives a permanent option on where to install apps. Search it in Google Play.
In my case (i have three different memory blocks) you have to do a repartition and a custom rom but i don't want to go there so i just mapped the drives with editing vold.fstab and bought a bigger memory card
Well I am lately facing an issue with the stock SD card which was provided together with my neo V. For some reason the free space of the card doesn't correspond to the free space it should really have.
All my data on the SD card is 308.49MB but in Storage there are available only 25.84MB left. How is that even possible?
I have unmounted and remounted the SD card and I have also removed it and put it back in, but nothing changed. Due to this problem I am facing serious problems with the updates of my apps and with the installation of new apps (phone indicates there is not enough space in memory or SD card)
If someone can help it will be greatly appreciated.
I am using official ICS 4.0.4 android version.
Thanks in advance
I believe what you mean is internal memory,right?
normally new apps will install in internal memory.
maybe you can try some apps which can move apps to SD card.Or maybe you can try custom ROM here in Xda...
No, I am talking about the SD card. Not about the internal memory. The internal memory calculates the space properly.
The SD card on the other hand has a problem with that. Even though it is 2GB and and the data in it is 308.49MB it still shows no space available under the storage. Same applies when I use other apps that show the capacity of the SD card.
Take out the sd, connect it to your PC, back up your data and then format it again, then copy your data back to the sd

I was attempting to root my Alcatel 9007t tablet, so I could move apps to my SD card, unsuccessfully.
So I ended up following some instructions and ended up emulating an SD card on my internal, or something or the other
It renamed my actual SD card to something else
So now, I have rooted my phone, I believe, but using link2sd card I can now move my apps, but I get an error on a certain few apps.
I can't link the data, or what have you, to the SD card, and I think its because of this emulated SD storage
Regardless, I would like to remove the emulated SD storage, and rename my SD card to something normal.
Getting to root this thing was difficult, so I would not want to start this whole thing over.
Or if I could get link2sd to link my data to my SD card , that would be excellent.
I am moderate noob so pls hlp
Footnote: no I cannot link to SD thru my storage settings, maybe is there somehow I can do that. I just want to link or move app data to SD card. This is from a downloaded apk that is making kit difficult. The app seemed to install to SD card, but the data is on the emulated SD on the internal

You will have issues as apps are not made to be on the sdcard and some apps even block the option.

OK but my tablet is rooted now and I can do it mostly with no problem.
I just want to rename and unemulate false SD card on internal and get it back to normal
I have a problem with my tablet not recognising the sd card. It is not specific to a particular card, I have tried 3 and they all behave the same. The cards function correctly in other devices.
When I go to Settings, Storage the card is not showing, only internal storage. However, if I go to My Files the SD card is showing and I can read to and write from the card.
When I go to Apps, choose an app and then choose Storage I have an option to move the app to external storage. When I choose this option I get a message saying there is not enough room on the card even though the card is essentially empty .
Can anyone suggest how I can get the SD card to show under Storage and also how to move apps to the card?
Thank you.
OK, my bad. The card does show under Storage, I just wasnt looking in the right place. However I still cant move apps to the card.
My internal storage is now nearly full and I have a totally empty SD card, would love to get a fix for this issue.
Thanks.
