I couldn't find anyone give out feedback on moving apps to SD with new tabpros. How does it work out for actual tabpro owners? Does it it break widget? Does it move the entire app to SD? Any feedback would be great. Thanks

I am running Froyo 2.2 rooted, but there are so many apps that just dont have the option to move to SD card which is very annoying considering the lack of space that the desire comes in terms of internal memory, with that said I have a lousy 2mb left on my internal phone drive, this is just nuts there has to be a way I can manually move these apps to the SD card? Anyone able to assist here?
never mind found out how to over come this, for anyone else with froyo take a look here, worked like a real treat! I now have over 40MB of phone storage

Or you could have used search first and found precisely the same information on these forums!

Or get modinstalllocation from the market. Does all the adb for you and let's you change it back much easier

Hey guys,
As you know internal memory is 1,5 GB for Desire HD. And as a newbie for DHD, May I ask is there any limitation or problem installing the apps into SD card via apps2sd or something like that? Can we install every apps into SD card?
Thanks for your replies in advance.
You can but what for?
I have about 55 apps installed right now and 0.9gb free. How many apps are you planning to install? 500?

Thanks pal, I am not sure since I have used Iphone there are many apps and games over 250 MB I thought the same for Android but I understand from your message it's not
I know what you mean I have come from a hd2 phone to the desire and loaded everything to the sdcard I have looked on the desire phone and there does not seem to be anything to say all apps or files to sdcard so I presume the desire does this auto ? or am I wrong.after all whats the point of the sccard if its just for music files and pictures and video if you cannot put all apps on this to ?
If you want to transfer apps to the SD card, just navigate to:
Settings--> Applications--> Manage Applications
Press on the app you like to transfer, and press "Move to SD card".
This doesn't work on every app, and it's not recommended to transfer some apps.
Thanks a lot.
Is there any way to find out which apss we should not transfer or the system already gives an error message If we do?
Some apps can't be moved to the SD card. These apps will have the "Move to SD" button greyed out.

Yeah, most games like Angry Birds and Pocket Legends (with some "weight") can be moved to the SD.
Don't move widgets to sd in most cases it will mess up the widget. Example poweramp widget will be messed up if app will be moved to sd, it's due to sd having delay only startup and somehow android cannot figure it out in think

Thanks a lot guys, from your experiences I understand that it's the best only games to move to SD not apps or widgets.
Hi there, I got a 16GB ATT galaxy S3 and a 32G class 10 microSD card. As you know, after the ROM and other basic stuffs, the internal SD left about 10GB.
I know that we can "swap" the internal SD and external one by using "ExtSd2InternalSd", but I'm just not sure how stable that solution would be, for instance, are built-in apps come with the phone (such as camara) or any other apps gonna run flawlessly? would lag be a big issue?
so my questions are:
1. how "robust" is ExtSd2InternalSd, in terms of speed and stability? has anyone tried that?
2. let's just say if I do not use ExtSd2InternalSd for any reason, is there a way to store emails (say, MailDroid) or some of the huge apps (such as a GPS app with offline map files) in external microSD?
thanks for your patience and help! really appreciate~~
ok. Here's the deal. I'd try to do this myself but I have next to no android knowledge other than how to use the things. I was going to get a 64gb card and do the ext sd swap trick I've seen on here BUT... half my hours were cut at work and I can no longer afford to get a 64gb card. I do have a 16gb in the phone now. I was hoping a way to make the phone think that 16 was part of the internal storage so I could extend the internal storage to the sd card. Does that make sense? Is this possible at all? Could anyone make it possible? If I added up the internal with my 16 that'd be 32gb which would be a nice size. I have apps in the app store that I can't install right now because of the limited 16gb (11 usable) space on my phone. I would really appreciate any help you guys could offer me in making my 16gb card work for apps along with my internal storage. Thanks so much!
Wrong section bro :/
Next time ask in Q&A section.
As for your question, as far as I know, that isn't possible. You can either use the internal or swap and use the sd card. You cannot merge both together, though.

What you're 'asking' would be to physically the hard memory of the nand chip - its not going to happen,
Best thing you could do is install what apps you could, then use something like titanium backup and batch move other apps to the sd card. Don't move widgets or any app you use as a widget to the sd card, or you lose widget functionality.
Along with this should be posted in Q & A.

yes yes it was posted in the wrong section, I'm sorry. It was moved to q and a so it's all good i guess...
as for my question, there's no way to join the two partitions together like you could hard drives on a computer?
if not... what is this app2sd about? If I used it would I still have my icons on the homescreens for all my apps or would it be some kind of fugly method of launching the apps on my sd card?
if I replaced my internal with my 16gb sd card would that give me a little more space since android is installed on the 16gb that the phone comes with? Currently my phone says it has 11GB usable space on the storage section... soooo if I used my 16gb would that give me 16GB usable? That'd help with my memory a little bit...
and finally... if I made the 16gb my internal... would it be possible to copy movies and emulator roms to the main phone storage since i'm using sd for apps at that point, or does that just totally negate the internal storage for everything?
sorry to ask so many questions. thanks for the help in advance. sorry about posting in the wrong section.

This is a really confusing question. Have you filled up your internal storage with apps? If so you can extend larger apps to install on the sd card and they'll run normally, unless the app involves a widget. You should never move apps that have widgets over to the sd.

how do I install larger apps to the sd? Also, what would the point be of switching my sd to internal storage like that one mod floating around here if I can just use the internal and install apps to my sd as well?

Search for an app on the market called App 2 SD. There doesn't seem to be a way to do it without a 3rd party app on this phone.

ya i searched for app2sd in the marketplace and they don't work. i think there's only one floating around on the forum here that works with the s3 but i hear it's real clunky too where you don't have icons on your home screen you have to open app2sd and launch some stuff from there which is just weird i dunno. I might bite the bullet and grab a 32gb card and hope that's enough...
Hey Everyone,
Just picked this up 2 weeks ago and finally getting around to using it.
I have a 32 gig microsd card and I was wondering if there was a way to move the apps/games to the SD Card to free up space on the internal memory?
Also, it seems that there is not really a big rom scene for this tablet. Anyone know of a debloated and/or google only type rom (like the default rom on the Nexus 5) for this tab?
Thank you,
Whiteice
I believe you can save your apps to ExtSDCard with NoBloat. Then you can delete them and if need to restore, do so from the ExtEDCard.
