all apps in sd card still shows low on space?? :/
well,
how much internal storage left?
whats the size of the app you want to install?
and if your using CM based ROM, try to set the install location first. Go to CyanogenMod setting > Application > Install Location > External .
Install cleaner from market and clean your phone.

is there a way to install apps to sdcard only? i see a nexus one app on here, but dont know about it. i have evo4g and its not rooted.
thanks for info.
no info on this?
Applications can only be stored on your sd card if
1. You are on 2.2
2. The application you have is developed to be stored on the sd by the dev
3. Or if you are rooted you can store apps on your sd card regardless.

You should search for apps2ext for your phone - it should be available. It may be listed as a2sd. Just make sure it says apps2ext NOT apps2fat. Installing apps to the fat partition is easy but the dev has to allow it, it doesn't mount on boot, and it still leaves about 1/4 to 1/3 of the app on your phone.
Apps2ext mounts on boot, the dev doesn't have to do anything, widgets will work, the entire app is moved (not data or cache - stays on phone), the dalvik cache is moved to the sdcard also. You have to set up an ext partition on your sdcard though - but that's super easy.
apps2sd is also a popular program for accomplishing the same task and it is free in the market.
how to bypass application move protection?
i install tap tap 4 revenge it's about 4mb and i checked on app to sd pro whether i can move it to sd card and it says only on phone storage? how do i move to sd card and bypass the move to sd protection set on the application by the author???
AFAIK it has been configured in the APK somehow.. I bet there's a line like "CanBeMovedToExternalStorage=0". And if It's at 0 your android reads it as not movable to sdcard. So what you would have to do is unpack the apk and edit the config of it.
For 'forcing' it to install on your sdcard you need to open adb and type adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
0 = let the phone decide (this is default)
1 = Internal storage (This will cause apps to install on your internal storage only)
2 = External storage (This will cause apps to install your SDCard only)
AFAIK android will automatically install an app on sdcard if that app supports it and you're running low on internal space.
Notice: Never install widgets and system apps on sdcard. It can\will cause problems. What I suggest is change that install location each time you install a game that cannot be moved to sdcard manually

thank you.
ahm.. does this application call "move to sd enabler" work?? because i keep installing apps then moving them to sd card and my internal memory keeps on decreasing?? i also wipe out cache files
I think it stores some data, which takes some memory.
As for that app.. it probably does the same as that ADB command, so yeah, it should work.

Move to sd enabler works flawlessly.. Open the app and select "external"..every app you install will go to the sd card by default..make sure you move widgets to phone memory else they won't work..

Hey guys,
How can I re-size the internal SD - as i'm constantly told I can't install Apps due to "no available space" yet it shows like 4gb of free space?
Haven't had any issues with my MicroSD
Reports the same dumb issue on TW and AOSP/AOKP/CM roms...
Im 90% sure re-sizing is not possible but backup everything in your internal storage then go to your recovery and format /sdcard

Try Storage Analyzer from market. Activate root in options, then go to your system partition (symbol in the lower left corner). There you can see what takes all the space. For me it was the "lost+found" folder.

Hi,
I'm using official CM12 (CM12 have native app2sd and native root), don't need install nothing more.
In configuration select Apps
In right side top have 3 vertical dots, select it
In Preferred Install Location select external SDcard
Go back to Apps, select one and select move to SDcard.
In stock 5.0.2 you need root and app2sd to better control apps in internal and external memory.
