if its a widgets, u cant move it to sd as it will dissappear if u restart ur phone..

You have to have 2.2 or above to move apps to sd.
If you do, go to settings, applications, manage applications. when you click on the applications, you will find a button that says "Move to SD". If the button is white in color, you can move the app to sd if not then can not.
RTFM!!

It will probably do that anyway.
Just for the record, Widgets can't be stored on sd card as they wont work any more.

moving apps to sd?

Is there a way to move all your apps to the sd card? I have apps2sd but I have so many apps that my internal storage is almost full even after I moved all my apps that will go. But is there a way to trick the phone to install them all to the sd card? Im rooted.
Bump, anyone?
Bumpity Bump Bump. I would also like to know the answer to this question.
i use move2sd enabler...it's on the market.
what it will do is enable it so you can move ALL apps to sd card...even those that dont let you...just keep in mind not all apps will work from the sd card. but you dont lose anything by trying.
i've moved large files like NFS Shift and other games that dont normally have the move option, and they work just fine. same thing for the fascinate lwps that you flash, etc.
try it out
install move2sd enabler, run it and click i've read, next, and set it to external. click ok. then you move the apps through the Application Management part of the Settings

Not all apps installs do internal memory. Some end up at the SD by default and many of those that installs to the internal can be moved to the SD.
A tiny part will be left on the internal memory but this really should not be an issue for you. You can have tons of apps.
Use the phone as u want and see where u end up at
Also "the tiny part which will be left on the ROM" will have around 1MB
i'm looking on this matter now, so i'm waiting to root my phone and clear some unused application, to clear my ROM
so how can we move apps on sd card

Head to Settings->Applications->Installed applications and find the app u want to move to SD. Click it and click "Move to memorycard"
Not all apps can be moved this way tho but it helps a bit!
yes there is the option to move them to sd card but it not apply to all apps
is there any software app who can move every thing to sd card then please tell
thank for your time sharing with this post..........
It's prossible to do a 'full' apps2sd if you have a rooted phone and a specially partitioned SD card, but i havent tried it on the arc so dunno if it will actually work.
I dont know why you really need to do this though. The root method i mention above was popular before 2.2 added built in apps2sd, particularly on older phones with small amounts of internal storage, but since android 2.2 there really isnt much point. I've got *tons* of apps installed on my arc, and still have more than half the space left.
There doesnt appear to be a massive thread describing how to get full apps2sd working for a rooted arc, the reason for this is because nobody really needs it. What are you trying to do that needs this?
be careful some apps wont work when their on your sd that why you can't move them.
for example don't move your launcher app ( when using one ) and don't move apps if you use a widget from the app ( or the app is a used widget )

I had the same issue as the OP..
I had install many apps, and then there is warning that my memory is low
I already installed app2sd and moved some apps to sd, but not all apps can be moved.
Is it possible to use an EXT partition on sd as an internal memory?
This trick is common in HD2 world (when using NANDROID).
I havent tried it with my Arc because it is unrooted.
If anyone has tried it, please share it with us
Thanks and cheers ...
I place all my apps too the internal storage. It's easy and there is enough space on the phone

[Q]If i use link2sd to move apps.

Im using link2sd to move apps 2 sd.
my question is.. if i move that app to sd. is it complete moved? why when i install app on my phone and move it to sd using link2sd , my phones internal memry is increasing a lil bit, like 200kb? the rest is going to the partition?

If you move them to SD, it would still occupy some space(about half) on internal..
If you create a link(app should be on internal) then it is completely moved and a link is created..
When you link apps, everything (apk, dex, lib) is moved aside from app data. That one stays in your internal memory. If you want to completely move an app and all its data to SD, consider A2SD.

how to move apk onto sd

Hi everybody,,
I want to know how to move apk & data files onto external sd. when i moved apk via settings or with the help of app2sd or force2sd, that apk & data files weren't actually moved onto external sd.
Can it possibly apk & data files be moved onto external sd in P6?
And then, when I used gl2sd apk, it can't mount.
Is it not compatitble with P6 ???
Thanks in advance!!!

I already rooted it. I can move any folder that I want onto ext sd.
but I want to move apk & its data folder onto ext sd.
For example, viber apk. when i moved viber, it move onto ext sd but its data folder remains in internal one.
even if i moved that folder by root explorer or something like this, viber can't run normally.
how can I do it? or Can't it move onto external sd like Samsung S3, NoteII ???
btw, any1 can use GL2SD apk in P6??? if can, pls let me explain how to do it.
as for me, it can't mount (
Thanks anyway JackHanAnLG

Not sure you can move the dats onto the SD card as the phone needs to read it all the time

correct answer!
why dont option default storage external sd card to setting? only sd card data obb apk install..interesting..no space left on the memory.
Thanks all for your kindly answers.
But I just want to know how come you moved apk onto sd card via setting.
When I moved onto external sdcard, the phone showed that that apk is moved onto external sdcard but it didn't actually moved.
Cuz no filed associated with that apk cannot be found in the external sd.
So i finally concluded that it is because of Huawei P6 and I suggest everyone not to buy this phone if you want to play HD games.
however, if you want to use just surfing & normal phone usage, that P6 is cool.
Thanks to all.

Mind to share the more details how to get that?
I have tried several methods.
First I tried to install de 116 chinese rom, where you can choose the default method as sd, but this doesn't work, it only installs in the sd the apks you are able to move in our version.
Then I tried link2sd, doesn't work, you have to do the partition tree externally and after that it says our phone is not supported.
Finally I tried to change the default location with adb tool, I think this has worked but there are some problems installing apps like swiftkey in the sd, they are not working well so you have to move to the phone, by now this is the best solution.
Anyway, I wanted to install google play music so I can keep the music in the phone but you cant delete it from the internal memory so my method doesnt work either...

[Q] Anyway to move or install applications to sd card?

good day to all
can someone help me?
i have a tab 7.0, rooted, and im using the costom rom rocket tab v2.0
my tab is only 8gb, i have to many apps in the internal storage
now, i want to move them to sd card so i go to application manager and select an application and tap the move to sd card
but the problem is, a window appering "Unable to move app. Not enought storage space" even though my SD card has a huge space
i try using the app. link2SD, but here is the message appear when i try to move it to sd card:
"App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move it's files to your SD card."
i understand what it means, but the problem is, how can i make my primary external storage to original internal storage? is there anyway for that? so that my sd card can be the external storage?
or any way arround to install from my sd card?
I use RomToolbox Pro on all my android devices to move apps to my sd card. There's a utility called configure apps to sd, that helps to direct apps to install on the external sd. There is also a utility called root browser within rom toolbox pro where you can simply move files from your internal to external sd card. It does take a little while to figure out but it does work well in my experience. There is also the app manager, in rom toolbox, where you can move them one at a time. The only thing I would say as a word of caution is first make a backup, then start tweaking, and remember that when some apps are moved to the external sd they will lose their widget capabilities.
I'm probably leaving out some of the finer points, but hopefully you get the idea and it helps you.

I will be trying this. I was told by Samsung that 4.2.2 would let us do that but if this works I can keep my current install.
