Since I got the SD card to function, I get notifications to move the app the to the SD card,
Since also charges the Nexus 7, would there be harm in moving some of these apps that I do not use that much?
I also use SBP Shell and sometimes I run out or memory. *They sent me a app to run but it dumps it to the SD Card. *I am pretty sure that I can get it to error on me before it needs recharging. *Or does anyone else run into this issue?
Thank you!
I have no idea what you're trying to ask us. unless you've done some mod that no one else has finished yet to get a separate SD card in your n7 then you're probably talking about the /sdcard/ folder?
firstly theres no need to use a apps2SD app, as its all the same on the n7. When these apps are used on phones and devices with separate SD cards, its to transfer data from the user (not superuser) area of the phone memory to the SD card, but on the n7 it reads that folder as the SD card and automatically installs everything there anyway.
I think you need to reword your question =S

Are you referring to running apps from an external mem card using an OTG cable and Stickmount?

I have flashed to the latest liberated Tom a.d installed apps 2 SD card. My memory is pretty full bit apps 2 SD wont allow me to transfer a large portion of my aps. Is the a way to? Am i missing something? I didn't partition my SD card is that why?
Some of them did give me the option, just not enough. Thanks!

This is the 2nd time this week this has happened. Turned my phone on this morning, shows preparing sd card but yet none of the apps I have moved to the sd card will work. They don't show on the app drawer either. The first time it happened I figured it was a fluke so I copied everything from the sd card I was using to another card, and same thing...apps don't show.
So then I reformat the card, reflash the stock image and everything was fine until today. Wtf could be causing this? I am able to access the card thru root explorer no problem. Running rooted stock rom

Just a quick question but have you used up the internal memory in order to move them to the SD card? Apps run slower from the SD card then they do from the phone. I have tons of apps but coming nowhere remotely close to have to move them to the SD card.

nope i always just moved any app that could be moved to the sd card. i swapped out the sd card and wiped the phone, so we'll see how this goes. thanks for replying
Hey there im new here on XDA but I was wondering if its possible to run Apps through stickmount using my flash drive or would I need an SD card + adapter to be able to run apps directly. Also gameloft games download an additional 2GB or so depending on the game would this download to the flash drive and be playable from the drive itself or would I need an SD card reader + SD card in order for it to work on my nexus 7 that I preordered.
editff-topic I also wanted someone to direct me on how to add a custom signature to my posts here on XDA. Thanks
Bump
anyone?
You cannot run apps through stickmount. it is only for accessing data media and other types.
all apps and app data must be on the internal memory.
Card reader
Thanks but you can run apps from an SD card. If I used my OTG cable with a SD card reader attached with a 16GB sd card will I be able to store and use my apps from there in my Nexus 7?

No, it's not a "True" SD Card, it still acts like a flash drive.

So essentially no way of running apps from outside flash storage what so ever? Just movies, pictures and files?
Right.

correct.
The internal memory setup emulates an sd card by adding an /sdcard directory.
there is no way to have another directory with that name and all apps are coded to store their information in the /sdcard directory. doing it any other way would break the app for all devices.
i can sure understand why you'd want to do that, but basically it's not possible.
best thing i can recommend is to keep all of your videos on external storage since those are the largest files you'll have.

Just thinking out loud here, but is it possible to rename the internal SD directory? I'm guessing no being that something so conceivably simple hasn't already been done.

Since you are already rooted you could always try this app it may give you the results you require. Bearing in mind that this was originally developed for the S2.

SD cards are too slow to run graphic intensive games (especially THD or Gameloft)
I'm using OC4 (5.0.1), deodexed. I'm trying to save space on the phone by moving as many apps as possible to the external SD card. I have found, however, that anytime one of the moved apps is updated, the updated app is installed *entirely* in the phone (and none of it is on the external SD card).
I can, of course, move the app back to the SD card (manually).
Questions:
Does anyone know of a way to cause apps on the external SD card to STAY on the external SD card after update (my research indicates that this isn't possible in Lollipop, but I'm asking anyway)?
In the alternative, does anyone know of an app that will do a batch transfer of apps to the external SD card (yes, I know I can do it one-by-one, but a batch that I could run once a week would be awesome)? Generally, 25 of my apps are updated each week, making a batch routine particularly attractive.
Ever found out anything?

I am running MM (stock, unrooted, w/ unlocked BL) and have and SD card installed as portable storage (i had tried using it as internal a month or so ago and got completely screwed up for a few weeks, so am back to leaving it as portable).
In the past - before i formatted it as internal - i believe I had the option to move apps to the sdcard. I definitely had that option after formatting as internal. Now, I am not seeing that option at all. Do I need to do something special to allow moving of apps to the SD Card?
I am going to storage--> internal storage --> apps and scrolling down the list. When I select an app, i am expecting to see the option to move it to sd card. It's not there for any of the apps on the phone.
Don't think you can use move to SD on moto. Use something like link2sd or adaptive storage.

Thanks- so, you're saying that i probably am just remembering things incorrectly and likely the only time i previously moved the apps to SD on my XPE was when i had the SD card formatted as internal storage?

Not sure what you had but I tried that myself and got error that I can't move to SD on this phone. Forgot what the error was though.

Its a change from lollipop to marshmallow. Lollipop allows the moving of some apps to the SD card natively, marshmallow does not. Every app I've tried for app2sd doesn't work in marshmallow either.

I've had some SD Card problems as well, does that mean Migrate Data only moves personal non-app files to the other storage?
Using AppMgrIII to move apps to SD card
Running MM stock, not rooted. Using AppMgrIII and formatting the SD card as internal (really key here), I have moved many apps to the SD card. AppMgrIII tells you which can be moved, and then you go to the app, click on storage and move the app to the SD card. Some work on the first try, and some take two tries for some reason. I must have about 40 apps on my SD card. The only one that didn't work after moving was the Amazon Shopping app. It worked, but took forever to come up. Moved it back to internal and it's fine.

While this is a good work around, this breaks basic functionality of the SD card by itself. When you format it as internal, you cannot put it in a card reader and use it in your pc, which for me, is essential, especially when copying 20+ gigs at a time (128GB card). Also, if rooted and custom recovery, recovery will not read the card either.
