Even with ICS you can't do that. Form side it better for fast and safe replacing of sdcards.

How the hell are you filling 16GB of space with JUST apps?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mafiatounes:
Well most (Batman, Amazing Spiderman and so on) games are about 1>2GB in size + many small apps i use + Sygic with maps of countries i have to visit for work on a regular bases (Belgium, The Netherlands, France and Germany), add to that you only get 11.25GB and my S3's memory is almost full.

I will have to wait for the 32GB/3G version it is not available yet here.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Sounds like broken apps if they are not able to move their data portion to external storage...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mafiatounes:
No broken apps, the ability is taken out in devices launched with ICS/JB, devices updated to ICS/JB still have the ability to move apps to SD it seems.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
There should be no need for an app to be moved to SD. HOWEVER, an app SHOULD be able to have its data relocated - if it can't the app is broken.

No *app* is large enough to justify moving to SD. However, if an app insists on its data being in the same location and can't be moved to external storage, that's a problem.

In fact, most likely, those apps already have their data on the "SD" - the problem is that on devices like this, the internal SD is indistinguishable from /data in terms of storage usage. If the app doesn't support moving data to external SD, that's a broken app.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mafiatounes:
I know that since ICS the memory layout has changed, in previous (GB) devices you had multiple partitions on the internal SD now this is gone and so is apps (data) to SD.

I'm not so sure about the term "broken apps" because in that case it means all apps are broken cause of all my 100 apps and games there is not a single one that can allocate data anywhere except internal sd. Google messed with this since ICS, it isn't a problem on the Galaxy Nexus or One X because they don't have memory expansion.

After thinking about getting the 32GB with a unknown wait time, i decided to for the 16GB Wifi/3G version i will skip Sygic on the Note since i don't see myself with a tablet on the windshield driving.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demandarin:
This is why I returned my 16gb. I have the 32gb one on the way now. With these Androidand gameloft games, it ddoesn't take long to use up 16gb of memory. Which is really only 11gb out the box. My nova3 alone is like 2gb. So I need larger storage space for all my games n apps. The games are the ones taking up the most space.

But I think the op means moving the data to external SD/memory card. So it'll free up space on internal storage/internal SD..which is really all merged now. So yeah, games store their data to internal SD. But if you have a microsd card installed, there's no way to move the largest part of game data to it to free up space on internal memory. That's my take on moving apps to SD. I know of the older methods. Like on my atrix. Still on froyo. I can move apps from internal storage(which was limited in size) to internal SD(which was larger in size). Or even move it to external. Lmfao I'm confusing myself now.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashuras:
Yes, there is a way. Use Apps 2 SD and GL to SD apps. I moved a lot of the huge downloads for my games using those apps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsquabbles:
this is one advantage ios has over android. you can actually download the games on your computers and sync later. or you can sync, delete and reinstall later without having to redownload everything (unless there's an update). you can kinda do this in android, but it's not as automated.

Get link2sd

Use link2sd to move apps to external sd

...

Profit...

Sure it would be nicer if it was all built into the OS, but I think it takes less time to get link2sd and solve than problem than it takes to complain... I have a 16gb pad, and a 64gb MicroSD split half as fat32 and half as ext4... all my large apps go into the ext4 partition... so even though I have more than 16gb worth of apps/games, my internal storage is almost empty...

Tried this app. Every. APk got a *FAILED INSUFFICIENT STORAGE" error. I have plenty of available space. Do I need to set up and ext4 for it to work?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TweakerL:
Sorry I didn't explain it too well before. The app is pretty straightforward though. Here's my MicroSD setup:

64GB Sandisk Ultra

Partition 1: 32GB fat32

Partition 2: everything else ext4

Once you have it all partitioned, run link2sd. It will ask you what kind of partition you have in the second partition in the MicroSD. So in my case, I picked, ext4. The menu allows you to pick just about everything else, but I haven't tried anything other than ext4, as I can't think of any reason to use something else. Once you pick the partition, it will tell you that it needs to setup the mount script, followed by a reboot. Once that's done, all you gotta do is go into the app, and you'll be presented with a list of all your apps, and the ability to move them to external storage. Essentially what the app does is move all relevant app data to the external storage and leave symlinks where they used to be. Problem solved.

Could not partition 64gb microSD card

Here is what I did

First attempt:

- Put 64gb MicroSD card into my tablet

- clicked USB debugging mode

- Connected the tablet to my PC. It instantly showed up "GT-N8013\Card" and "GT-N8013\Tablet" on the windows file explorer

- Opened MiniPartition tool.

but hey, I only see one disk on the tool..and that is my PC's hard disk. Mini partition does not show the microSD card as a seperate disk for me to tray and repartition it.

Second attempt:

- This time i took out the microSD card, and directly inserted it into my PC via an SD card adapter.

- My computer fails to open the microSD card

- Mini partition tool only sees the new new disk as 27Gb.. where as it's actually 64Gb.

So how can i partition the microSD card?

Move Apps to 64gb SD Card

Hello, I need help! I just now realized I am unable to move my apps to external storage like my phone. I bought the N8000 16gig. Can someone please assist me? My tablet is not rooted, and I researched around the internet some says to partition the ext memory card to FAT32 and Ext X? I am a noobie.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

FYI: After posting this I downloaded the mini tool partition wizard and partition the card to 2 primary, one as FAT32 62gb and Ext2 2gb. I tried to move the apps using link2SD, it wouldnt work. I clicked on the tab "move to SD" and a tiny message appearing " Second partition not found........... Make sure you have 2 partitions on SD card and both are primary."

Please help!!

I think you just need to re format your sdcard with fat 32 / ext 4. Make both partitions as "primary". Use mini partition tool or Linux to make the partitions

Simple solution for external sdcard write access on Android 3.2...if you're rooted

I've found a simple solution for gaining write access to the external sdcard (/mnt/sdcard2) on Android 3.2. The sdcard is mounted r/w, but the owning group is media_rw which is linked to the WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE permission. Unfortunately, this permission was not required for access to the external sdcard prior to 3.2 so most file management utilities do not request it when they run...meaning they only have read access to the card.

The simple solution, if you're rooted, is as follows:

1. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions and make sure you have mounted the file system r/w.

2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.

3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...<group gid="media_rw" />

4. Save the changes to the file.

5. Restart your tablet.

After this change, any apps that request the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission (which includes almost anything that access either of the sdcards) will gain group membership in both sdcard_rw AND media_rw, giving them r/w access to both sdcard filesystems.

Well, i tried link2sd but despite the dual partition in the SD and the "linking process" went ok, the app doesn't link the "private data" of the apps that i want to move to the sd; and that "private data" contains the biggest files which will stay on the internal memory. I.E., i tried to link Need For Speed Most Wanted using link2sd and in fact the app linked the apks, dalvik, etc, but the 1.8 GB data files stayed in the internal memory :(, so that result makes no sense.

Do you have a recent nandroid backup (prior to the unlock attempt)? If so, check the data.ext4.tar for an efs1.bin, efs2.bin, and efs3.bin located in /data/qcks directory.

If you have the efs?.bin files I can walk you through flashing them back into the EFS partitions on the phone. That'll restore the IMEI.

I went ahead and wiped my whole SGS2 down including the /sdcard. I really don't know what's going on.

I can't imagine this app being incompatible with my phone. Many users in the SGS2 CM9 thread say Shazam works fine. However when I go look at some recent reviews on the Shazam app there are more than a handful of people saying that they get a similar message.

Use sin2raw.exe with 1gig argument since the ext4 and sin is 500mb plus (thats enough for me)

sin2raw system.sin system.ext4 1G

once you have your system.ext4, use the ext2explore.exe to save the files outside
