Hello everyone I have a Hisense Sero 7 Pro 8gb with a 32gb sd card. Model number M470BSA android version 4.2.1 Build number P756.6.02.20.00 kernel 3.1.10. Today I decided to root the tablet using the following method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2297246 and since is my first Android device that I rooted I followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf0HZhrGMDU and everything worked perfectly (I suppouse)
The reason I decided to root my tablet was because I have 700mb left on my internal storage and when trying to install a 2.4gb game from the play store It said that I didnt had enough space even though i have 32gb left on my sd card. I downloaded Titanium backup to move some apps from the internal storage to the SD card but the option is not there, the only option available under move is MOVE-¨ INTGRATE UPDATES OF SYSTEM APPS INTO ROM¨ and theres no move to sd card option.
Is there an easy way to solve this? I am a noob to this so I would apreciate your help.
Thank you.
Try Link2SD. Just be sure to read the directions or find some guide on-line.

Aparted (and other apps) can partition your SD card from your phone.
BTW, Link2SD can not only move apps to SD, but newly downloaded apps can install there by default. Try that with your big game, and you might not have to mess around with moving everything else.

I made the 2 partitions and link2sd is not recognizing them and the install in SD card is not working either.

I have a sony Ericsson x10 mini pro. I'm wondering if its possible to move apps to my sd card, because the phone doesn't have a big internal memory. I heard something about having to root the phone, and doing something to the sd card. Could someone guide me through that, or tell me more about it? How will that effect the apps?
Thank you x
BTW, sorry if this is in teh wrong part of the forum, i wasn't sure what section it came under
I am also trying to find out the answer to this question. All i have been able to find out through search is that one has to root the phone and there is probably just one application superone click that allows you to do that currently for X10mini/pro 2.1 version. However once one has rooted through superone click, how do you then transfer all your applications to the SD card and whether its possible or not is my question. Hoping someone answers soon so i can take the risk of rooting.
There is an app that you can get at the market to enable you to transfer apps to SD..
App2SD and Link2SD.. just search on the Market
and also search the forums for these 2 apps, there are dedicated topics for these with more detailed discussions...
I've tried both App2SD and Link2SD along with a few others... none of them install on X10mini/pro runing on v 2.1. They require some sort of partition on the SD card which i have no idea how to do.

There is no. Of videos of partition of sd card in YouTube.
I m using link2sd and I feel its better than app2sd.
.
If you use Android 1.6/2.1 then you have to use link2SD.
Use this guide for partitioning the sd card
SD Card Partitioning
Or if you have gone to the new Android 2.2/2.3 you dont need these steps, because they are integrated in the OS itself. There are some advantages running 2.2 or 2.3
Good luck
Thank you all... It worked!!!
Used link2SD and created partition on SD card as advised by Tommylee567. Transfered my apps to SD Card. Only issue i am having after the root is that Skype is giving me problems. Have to take the battery out to reset the phone and stop it from ringing continuously whenever someone calls me on skype. I didn't experience this problem before though.
Anyways atleast i got my apps transfered to SD Card.
Thanks Tommylee
I have partitioned my ad and installed link2sd. However it gives an error saying the 2nd partition not found. i have followed all the steps correctly and my mini pro is rooted. Can anyone help? Please!!!
ok so i have an hauwie Ideos s7 fat on 2.1-update1 (not the newer slim one which already has the update to 2.2).
its not tied to any network just use it at home on wifi.
i would like to know how to install apps on the external sd in stead of the internal also how to get to the folder which holds pictures and videos so i can move them to create more room. it doesnt have to much internal memory so by installing everything on the sd i plan to improve usage.
i have searched the google and have searched this site and various others and havent found the answer to my question.
so any help given would be great thank u
ps would also like to be able to to move existing installed apps to the external sd as well thank u

You either need to install the Froyo update (since moving apps to the SD started as a default feature in Froyo) or root your device.

Use the app to transfer whichever apps you want to the new partition. Also set it to automatically link new apps to the sd partition, if that's what you want.
If you're having trouble, just Google it. There are hundreds of guides for using Link2SD, and thousands covering all kinds of ways to move apps to the sd card. Here's one to try.
My progress so far posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1490116:

If you want app data to be moved to external sd Link2Sd works but with a few extra steps only. Here is how I manage this on mine.
Installed Link2SD on tablet.
Formatted external card (in my case a 32GB microsd in an SD adapter) on my laptop using EASEUS to have to PRIMARY partitions 1st in FAT32 and second in EXT3 formats.
At first Link2SD does not recognise any ext partition present and if I try to recreate mounting script on it telling it EXT3 format it says something like could not do, directory does not exist or similar.
Then after a reboot Link2sd warning pops up saying the sd card was not mounted at boot and therefore the system did not load apps on it. You have an option to recreate a mounting script (which I did not need to do as did it already previously) and the quick reboot option (which is different from the regular reboot in the way that it only restarts the android interface not the whole hardware) - so I do this reboot and after everything starts you can see the extra partition and use it.
So currently quick reboot is needed after every total shutdown of the tablet - thankfully I almost never shut down the tablet completely unless run out of battery completely or some other rare reason or testing like this one.
Also note that quick reboot sometimes gives a close/wait warning just after it is done - I always chose wait and everything seemed ok after that.
Make sure you give Link2sd superuser permission. I decided to leave out Lib out of the app data I link because I noticed that if I move data back to internal storage link2SD shows that libs are unlinked already/ I know there is an option in link2sd to relink libs at boot but I was not able to confirm if it works and they tend to take little space internally anyway.
Regarding extra partition size I tried less than 1GB and ca 14Gb. With bigger than 1GB partition it seems to recognise its size in link2sd but once you move more than 1gb data to it does not reflect the increase above 1gb but still seems to make the apps I moved before and after that work still.
I wonder if multi mount widget could help when combined with link2SD somehow. My guess best solution would be to make android mount external card early in its boot.
Hope it helps

I have not tried EXT2/4 and FAT/32 formats for the second partition - maybe someone could report on that and regarding >1GB data on it. I tried having 3 partitions at the same time FAT32, EXT2 and EXT3 but link2SD did not see any extra partition then.
When experimenting before changing partitions I unlinked apps first in order to not lose the apps and having to reinstall them.

does it work? i mean can we move installed applications to external sd card?
Linksd will link your apps to the SD card, but will occupy some of internal memory space a few kb's ..

oh no. they are not.
i read more forum and info and understood how to do this. you need to use apllication like LINK2SD, it also make games think that they are use usb memory. but in reality they are using SD memory. this program named GSCRIPT.
Sorry for my english.
guys guys, i think we need to work on one thread. We seem to be having two threads that are covering the same problem. two thread one problems aint gonna work.
Would it not be better to gather all information that is relevant to the problem and work together to achieve our aims.
I for one would love this to be sorted but having tried the link2sd and mounting a script within the mnt/sd I believe we need to re group and work this.

I use link2sd in my Htc, because it have only 100mb of internal storage.
With a microsd 16gb and link2sd i'm able to install every app i want, a currently i have 80 installed in my Htc With only 100mb of internal memory

I understand what you are saying but the htc and sony are two different beasts. The htc can use the external sd as storage but at present the sony can only use the sd for transfering data and it will not allow game data to be transfered.
THis is not the solution. Do you actually have a sony? If so you will know this being the case.
i installed Link2sd on Sony Tablet S, and it works very good. all programs now on external SD card. also i installed GScript and now all cache for games located on external SD. Also i made that OEM music player and Gallery open all files from SD card without any problem.
and else when i connect Sony Tablet with computer i can also see and use SD cards memory that inserted in tablet.
Are you saying that game data from lets say gameloft goto external sd card?
I have just re tried to install gta and I can confirm the data still goes to internal storage. What gscript did you use?

Okay, so I rooted my at&t E970 using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1941699 . I mainly did the root because I wanted to transfer some of my apps to my SD card. I download App2sd and another transfer program and they both have difficulty finding my SD card in some way. How can I fix this? My other android phone is rooted and I use those apps to do transfers all the time. I can play music and see photos that are on my sd card. AND I HAVE A LOT OF MEMORY. Any help? Thanks in advance.
***I am very lost. Shouldn't I be able to boot into recovery after rooting? I can't do that. I installed "Rom Manager" and tried booting into recovery from there but all I got was the operated Android robot picture. Can someone guide me the right way to root this phone?

You would need to unlock bootloader in order to have custom recovery. Freegee app is $1.00 or pc version is free. I am not sure if stock recovery is accessible or useable. Sorry I can't answer more of your questions.
Alright, thanks! I installed that and successfully booted into recovery. I know I'm rooted and I have clockwordmod. I just need to know how to move my apps to my SD card. It still shows that my sd card is "emulated" according to Apps2sd
any luck?

Hi, i was wondering if you get any luck finding how to install applications on sd card, its been a year since you created the post and there seems not to be tan answer, im looking for this info too
Hey everyone,
Just trying to move my big apps to the SD card to save internal space.
I have read around that it's not possible due to a limitation of KK.
But I'm asking myself with my Shield Tablet can... and it's also on KK.
Thanks
Assuming you're rooted? Try kk external SD card patch, then you can use folder mount to shift the app files to SD card, although not the app itself
Thanks I'll try
obviously i'm interested in moving games obb files to th SD

Once rooted you can use apps like FolderMount, GL to SD or Link2SD or that Xposed module OBB to SD (I think).
My favourite is FolderMount since it's very easy to set up and use. Link2SD is more for the advanced user since you need to partition your SD card, but it's probably the more elegant solution. It's also able to move APK, DEX and lib files. However it stopped working on me some time ago and wouldn't move the OBBs...
Please post questions in the Q&A section

Thanks I will try exposed module since I'm interested to move obb folders.
otherwise i can't understand why Nvidia has this option by default (no unlock or root needed) just clicking move to SD into the app manager menu and Sony hasn't....

Updates to moving apps to sd
Hi, I'm posting this here since we're anyhow talking about apps to sd for Z2.
I wanted to know if Z2's next update will include the function to move apps to external memory. Sony recently released the kitkat update for T2 with the ability to move apps to external memory. So what are the chances like for Sony to release an update for Z2 that enables this function?
Will they even consider this first of all?
This is the one main reasons why I haven't yet purchased Z2 and I'm thinking of Z1. I install only heavy games and the very thought of investing a so much on a phone and feeling stuck, due to insufficient space, is pretty unsettling.
I've already posted this on sonymobile forum. Just thought I might get some info here as well.

Root your phone/tablet and instal KK sd Card fix, and you will probably be able to move something.

KK sd fix allow you to write on the SD but in app manager doesn't appear the Move to SD option.
I used the exposed module and manually moved the obb folders to the SD. All working fine for now.
