Apps already on SD? - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK so we all know you can't manually move the apps to SD but I was fooling around with my bpdn (yep eclair and all!) And I noticed when I didnt have the SD card that was installed on my m when I downloaded all my apps that they all fc. As soon as I put it back in they all worked! Just sayan! And 4 gigs is plenty because all media CAN be moved. You just have to do it manually. Use root explorer. You don't even need root for it to work. Try it.

The problem isn't the apps actual core data space. Its the extra data files that most large games have you download to play them. Now as a gamer I know four gigs ain't cutting it and under different circumstances I would have gotten the droid razr HD instead. Perspectively, its a matter of preference of how you use your phone. For the advid gamer like myself, some of us did not have that actual 100 or 250 dollars to shell out to get the more spacious and enhanced droid razrs. With that said root is the only option if you want all those awesome games and be able to their data to the external sdcard. I use directory bind to move them over.
Should you decide on to root: here's a link to the app and directions to use it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059890

[Q] My Xperience with PLay

Ok guys. Just got my Xperia Play 2 days ago. Mastered the iphone os and want to explore the android os. So far my main question is what is rooting and why I should root my phone, what benefits I will have for doing this. On the iphone for example i had free games that usually you have to pay for (don't mind paying) and themes.
I'm looking for users opinions not links on some google searches. that i can do myself.
Also looking forward to get psp games on the play.

rooting is nothing like jailbreaking, and it has noting to do with warez, people root to gain read/write access to the /system/ directory on there device, this allows them to run apps that wouldnt ususally work on there device, it also lets them remove bloatware (preinstalled applications) and theme there android, rooting is usually a precursor to flashing custom roms too
I also am very new to android but am learning fast.
I've rooted my Play (Used gingerbreak, DEAD EASY!!)
I've paid for the full launcherPro, and also placed a request on their forum for the feature of locking the phone when you slide the phone closed.
However, I have NEVER used a custom ROM, and I am very skeptical. I had a Samsung Omnia HD i8910 with Symbian, and I flashed new firmwares to this because Orange just didn't update the damn thing so I unbranded it.
I have also removed some bloatware with a file manager app (plenty around) whilst having root access.
I also have app2sd to move apps to SD, but I have to admit only a handful have gone on to it. I have not yet done the adb command to default all future apps to SD.
I am keeping a close watch on this forum for any sign of updates/upgrades/custom ROMs. I like the idea of new themes and faster phone, but I would hate to lose ANY of the original functionality, I would feel robbed.
This is my first android phone too. Was unsure about rooting at first but im glad i did. After rooting with gingerbreak (took like 40 seconds) I installed titanium backup (no need for apps2sd, the phone itself can put apps on the sd and the stuff the phone cannot move, Titanium backup can e.g The preloaded games, now under 1mb instead of 30mb). Removed all the crap from the phone using the safe apps to remove thread. The phone now runs faster loads more ram.
If i was to give a reason to root. It would be adfree from the market. Best app ever. Hated ads on the free apps and i have not got a credit card to use on the market (yet lol)
Its seems though if you update to 2.3.3 you cannot root anymore. Google has fixed the exploit used by gingerbreak.

iPhone jailbreaking allows you to run custom software (kinda like homebrew emulators and such) not originally designed to work on the iphone.
Rooting as mentioned above is not this.
Custom software can run on Android phones without the need to root. All those emulators etc will work on any Stock Android phone.
Android phones give you read/write access to sd card directories. Rooting basically gives you root (phone memory) read/write access.
This is useful because it allows you to install custom roms on your phone (sort of like customised versions of the operating system), get rid of bloatware (for example, i deleted all my vodafone pre-installed software which was basically crap) and more excitingly overclock your phone.
Installing new roms and overclocking will require extensive programming knowledge, but luckily the guru's on xda normally produce their own versions which us mere mortals can download and use.
No custom Roms or the ability to overclock the Xperia Play has to my knowledge been released to us yet. YET.
For now, root your phone, install titanium, get rid of bloatware, partition your sd card, and move all your games to your sd card to free up as much phone memory as possible.
Change your sd card cache size to 1024 to improve phone speed.
And wait for the custom rom and overclocking goodness that im sure will be available within the next few months.
Hope this post helped, i too was a complete noob and just picked a few things up along the way from reading here and there
edit - Rooting is safe for a noob to do. Other stuff such as installing roms can brick your phone rendering it useless if you do not know what you are doing. READ THOROUGHLY before you do anythingslightly advanced. And sorry to say, but there are no psp emulators that i know of. You will not be able to play PsP games. Sucks, i know

You can move unmovable apps to the sd card by using link2sd, which will only work if you partition your sd card.
There might be other ways, such as manual commands, but i've never tried that way.

Thanks for saying this. I have been using titanium for a while but never knew it could move un-movable apps to the sd card.
The way i found out how to do it was batch moving in the menu you bring up with the menu button.
Appswap (paid version only) claims that it is the only program on the market that can do this. But know i know different !
Thanks
i just long hold the app and click "move to sd"

Opinions on limited internal storage

I'm very interested in the Xperia Play, but the limited internal storage memory is a bit of a turnoff. Is there a true solution to avoiding this issue (app2sd?) or will even installing apps on a SD card still leave some data on the internal storage memory.
I'm a bit out of date with Android development since I've been into WebOS. Still plan on buying a Pre 3, but it's tempting to get a Xperia Play as a secondary phone.

If you use adb you can move 95% of your apps to the sd, freeing up HUGE amounts of internal memory. I was on 40mb free before using adb, now I've like an extra 5 or 10 apps since then and have over 180mb free

I agree, also I'll point out that if you have the device rooted you can use Titanium Backup to do the same thing (I haven't got around to installing the Android SDK to my PC yet). All my Gameloft games etc are <1mb internal. I have loads of games & still running with 165Mb free.
Memory is only a concern if you don't have the know how
As for the Pre 3 I was tempted too cuz I loved all the old PalmOS devices, but I was put off by the fact that they went with a 3.5" screen. Even Apple will be going bigger than this on their next release.
That's not too bad. I might check the phone out soon to make a decision as to if I should get one. I always like having a spare phone just in case something goes wrong with my primary or I go somewhere where I'd like to use one phone over another.
Pre 3 screen is 3.6-inches and I actually don't mind that. I've had a Palm Pre Plus since launch and I've never really been turned off by the screen size. I kinda like the smaller profile of the phone and I'm looking forward to WebOS 3.0. I'm just hoping HP markets WebOS properly to make the platform more attractive to developers.
Trust me it wont be a problem. and like many have said all you have to do is use ADB once and then all your apps are installed on the SD card but even if you dont do that its still plentiful.

How could you possibly have 40mb free before?
When I first got my phone last week the remaining memory was like at least 150 - 200mb? I'm running launcher pro now, have all sync and everything switched on, and my remaining RAM is 235MB, remaining INTERNAL STORAGE is 186MB now.
Can titanium backup FREE be used to do everything the paid one does?

I use App 2 SD Pro and it has been working very well. That is why I paid for the pro.
I'm still in the air on the Advanced Task Manager app though. I need to get more into it. I kill the processes and it leaves 3 going. Then a minute later there is about 15 going again. I need to find a permanent stop to a bunch of those apps and figure out how to make them run as needed.
I like to pay for good useful tools.
1) Root phone
2) Install titanium backup
3) Batch move apps to sd card, including unmovable apps
4) Profit
It is as easy as that.

You cannot stop the system apps or the bloat the phone starts itself unless you uninstall them. Task managers work well for apps you have installed yourself but the stuff that keep resarting will keep restarting no matter how many times to kill them (it will drain your battery and possiblale do more damage then good ).
Root and uninstall the crap from the safe apps to remove list. Also titanium backup free version lets you move the unmovable apps to sd such as ashphalt and fifa e.t.c less then 1mb instead of 30mb will help with internal storage

If your bootloader is unlocked you can install the rooted 2.3.3 rom which has been confirmed as being succesfully rooted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098736. If the bootloader is locked such as mine you are right and will have to wait for a rooting method to appear.

Rooting does void it. But if you have a locked bootloader you can use SUES to reinstall the software without the root and not even SE would be able to tell.
Thats alright but I refuse to unlock my bootloader guess I have to wait and I'm stuck with bloatware lol
I see a lot about how to root and unlock the Bootloader but don't see anything on why. I know rooting gives you access to removing the bloat. What does unlocking do? And what can I do without restricting myself to one version of gingerbread for life? Like one guy said I don't know where to start.
Use the adb command to set the install location to memory card
adb pm setInstallLocation 2
It solves most of the issue, and gives the option to move 99% of it apps to sdcard. It also installs the future apps directly to the sdcard. Provided u must be on froyo or higher. Rooting or unrooting doesn't really matter with this.

Unlocking means that, when they get round to it, you can install your own custom roms that are specially themed and other improvements like overclocking the processor.
As you rightly said, rooting lets you remove the bloat, which is great. Also, unlocking means you can flash a rooted stock firmware. However I refuse to unlock my bootloader (YET).
You can wait for more sony ericsson updates, or wait for the android devs to make some cool custom ROM that we will eventually install (with unlocked bootloader).

[REQUEST] App2SD for the S3

Hello, Ive noticed that there's no option to move apps to the SD card with my S3, as there was for the S2. Ive filled my 16gb already, and I bought a 64gb card, hoping to be able to have many of my apps on the SD card, however it seems that this is not possible at the moment.
Are there any plans to resolve this problem? Would this be resolved in the form of a kernel, rom or tweak? Or is it a hardware limitation of the S3 which restricts the application's location?
Thanks

I'm gonna ride with Chainfire on this one, too many GS3 owners saying you can't. But I guess I'll find out for myself once I get it in my hands.
If you are wise, just move your user files to the 64 .gb .sd card. There is already 11.gb of space for apps and still people need to move their apps to external .sd

I'd like to know as well. What concerns me more is the game data since those are going to be larger files rather than the app itself. ie gameloft games. Are the game data stored in the internal or micro sd card when game data is downloaded?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
On my acer with 8gb internal storage I used an app called GL to SD but you alway need to run it first and run the games within it. And although that allows game data to be stored in micro sd it doesn't always work for me and sometimes I forget to run it first. I think the best solution for me is the get the 32 fb model.

If you installed a lot games with large game data, try GL to SD, that app will store game data (not apps) to your sd. ROOT required. Open GL to SD then run the game you want and it will redownload data but to your sd card. You have to open the game this way everytime though GL to SD so the game knows to use the game data from the card. You can delete the game data in the internal since that won't get used anymore. Should give you a lot more room than app2sd.
You can also move manually the original game data in internal to the sdcard but I don't recall where to move it too. I think under games.

The GL to SD works fine for Nova 3 and Modern Combat 3. Move them using the GL to SD and in the settings of GL to SD check the option /sdcard/Android under add mounted folder. Once done then price mount button the top of GL to SD app and then press menu and exit (don't press unmount and exit otherwise it would not work). This would mount your external SD card as /sdcard/android. If GL to SD fail to move the games to SD card then you can even do it manually by copying games data folder from /sdcard/android/data to /extsdcard/data.
I hope you understand my poor way of explaining things I hope it helps
---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------
GL to SD works only for the games which install there files in /sdcard/android/data folder or /sdcard/data folder.

Yep, might tight behind, has kept it. I pay less than half of any other plan in my area, so, for now, i will keep it, and smile every month when i have to pay the bill !!!!!!
In short, I would recommend the App " Link2SD". partition your SD card with and Extension. In Recovery, format system to the same as your Extension. Boot. Run the app.
In short, this takes your apps, only placeing a fragemnt in th esytem, as to where it can find the App, and Places them on the SD card Extension, even Widgets, but it tricks the system, into thinking it has more space than it does. Widgets, they still work as they should, if they were in the phone it self, as a posed to just putting them onto the SD card, cause ya know they won't work that way.
FYI > get Titanium Back Up app, keep it on the SD card. move everything through Links2SD, and you should be fine. If something happens to you card, you really cant get the info back out of the extention...just an FYI.......LMAO

Q. How are you managing with 9gb free memory? Your feedback please

It seems the 16gb S4 is still the only option at the moment in the UK, I originally cancelled my order when I found out about the internal memory issue and the fact you can't save apps to the sd card. If you root some of my banking apps won't work, so that is not an option, not that apps work all the time properly on the sd card anyway. Also if you rent films from Googlr these cache in internal memory.
So for all you 16gb owners what is the internal memory space left , what have you installed and how much of an inconvenience is it, if at all. Please be honest, I just want to see what you can get on each of your S4's. Are any of you struggling already or believe you might.
Your help here will make me decide whether I just bite the bullet and compromise with the 16gb. Thanks in advance.
I've been a bit more careful than usual, not installed any of the big storage hog games, disabled Document Sync (which inexplicably tries to fill the internal storage with dropbox content), moved TomTom data to the SD card, and now have about 100 applications installed and 6Gb of space left. Not really a problem for me as yet, I'm using DiskUsage to monitor the situation. I'm also dithering about the One, but at the moment I'd rather have the 9Gb+64Gb SD card than the One's 25Gb. Might change if I have problems later and the One gets a 64Gb variant.
Thanks for feedback. One of my friends has only 2.5gb free now and hasn't installed any of his fav games. No room if he tried.
Anybody else got feedback.
it's kind of dumb that it has this amazing quad core processor and one of the best phone gpu's around and yet, you cant even install all the best games on it... lol
I think a potential cure will be for android itself to have a proper api to utilize external SD for heavy resources like those in the obb folder.
Unfortunately I don't think google will support this since they have been on a no SD card agenda for quite a while now.

We might see something because of that Google edition s4...

I am managing quite well, this is with around a 100 different apps, varying in size. With Spotify playlist download of a 100 songs. I will be happy when Samsung will fix this issue.

For me the 9Gb of storage is enough i don't generally game on my phone, and only install what i use, music, vids & pictures all go onto my SD card.
But i think the S4 should have launched at 32Gb this time around, back in the day the S1 launched with 8Gb, when the S2 came it was bumped upto 16Gb at launch
I think the easiest option really would be for Samsung to come up with a way to allow you to save apps to SD card, even though Jellybean doesn't have this feature.
I do think though when the S5 arrives next year 32Gb will be standard, with options of 64Gb & 128Gb to.
I don't have any problems... Lots of apps and a few games installed... Batman, GTA, mini motor... I don't have much time to play but nice with the opportunity

Very well as I installed foldermount and folder downloader so Dropbox and games are stored in the external so got plenty of space left for apps. Also INT2EXT will be fixed soon for the s4

Agree! FolderMount is great for this phone.
Sendt fra SGS4
Doesn't bother me at all as I don't game on my phone. If you're a gamer then it might sting a little but apart from that music is via google play and photos in the 32 gig SD card
I store my ROM and app backups on my external SD (32 GB G-Skill class 6).
