Hi there,
Has anyone been able to move apps from the internal memory of their S4 to the SD card without rooting the phone?
At the present time I have only been able to cut and paste photos, videos and music, rather than my apps.
I've tried a few different apps which claim to move apps without the need for rooting, however none of them seem to work.
My apologies if this is a stupid question, I have finally seen the light and ditched my Iphone 4 for the S4, so this is my first android phone.
Thanks
Rob
I want to know the method too
Besides, I have rooted my phone but no way to move apps to sd...

Guys, Is it possible to move the app to the SD if the phone rooted ?? & how about if its not rooted ??
Since, Samsung said that the app can be only installed in the main memory not the SD. which isn't a big deal at all with the 16gb, since half of it gone to the OS !!
Thanks alot
I'm too looking for such a solution. Please help!
You can use this with root (I use it and it works great):

Don't think you can without root.
Hi all ; in my case, my phone is new, so I uninstalled the 3 apps that I downloaded, and tried to re-install it directly in the SD directory, but I'm not able to find a setting to chose where I need to install the downloaded apps ! any solution ?
great thanks ...
I used to use Link2SD so I can install apps on my sd card. Is it not working anymore?
I'm sorry, I forget to precise that I didn't root my device; is there a way to install apps directly in the SD without root ?

Link2SD needs root permission ...

Won't work, only foldermount works at the moment.

So, basically, FolderMount is just linked the apps to SD card? I've tried it just for 1 app though. Gonna try to link other apps.
Apps2SD, Links2SD, AppMgr just fail, even with root access.
Even Foldermount only works properly if you're trying to link to data stored on actual internal SD (ie games like Need For Speed and Shadowgun). Any game or app stored in /data are a pain to relocate.

So, even FolderMount's not really moving the apps? Argh, is there any method to move the apps? I'm getting frustrated.

Foldermount works doing it with some apps but you need to move everything manually.

Did anyone make it successfully without root and an emulated SD card? Because on my Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505 - 4.2.2 android system) I have an emulated SD card (which is the device storage). This is a picture, how it is look like now (sorry for the hungarian language):
This picture is made in Total Commander
Can anybody do it? With or without root?

Hi guy, we're the Androidblog.it staff, and we created a useful tool that allows you to to move your apps to your SDcard.
This tool does not require ROOT permissions, but need Android Froyo 2.2.
You only have to install the USB drivers (adb), enable debug mode, and connect your phone to PC...EASY!
This tool will show you two options:
1- Apply App2SD - Patch (Applica App2SD – Patch)
2- Restore defaults (Ripristina impostazioni di default)
"Now available also the English Version!"
To apply the patch you only need to select the first option, the second if you want to remove it.
TOO EASY!
Thanks to KuroAndroid and to Murder for the betatesting, and to Ivan Boscacci for the inspiration.
YOU CAN FIND THE LINK FOR DOWNLOAD THE TOOL HERE IN THE ORIGINAL POST.
I hope you'll enjoy it!
Recall that the Tools created by Andrew (AndroidBlog.it STAFF) is owned by AndroidBlog.it ...if you want to use it on your blog we would appreciate if you will quote the link to our site. Thanks
So with this tool you can move all apps 2sd?

is there any risk to the apps that get moved from the phone to the SD card?
I can't download without registering, and how am i suppossed to register on a site thats in italian?
Scroll down the page and locate any post with the button "Fare il login per replicare". Click on this and you should be able to login and then download the app.
this is really nice... so far with N1.
Thanks guys!
Sorry but I can't see how to register. I've tried loging in with my twitter account but I cannot get the file. Any clue or alternative?
I have used this and it does work, however programmes that came on your phones stock rom (i am using orange 2.2 froyo) you cannot move to the sd card, for example google maps and facebook. Also i tried downloading adobe air earlier and this is 10+mb's and although it said it was on the sd card it wasn't. Could this be because it is a sytem app or is there another reason?
Cheers
how this work?
Nice work pal! works on my HTC Desire running 2.2 Froyo. Non-rooted. Quick question, how the hell does it work? does it trick it into thinking its possible to move the app to SD card?

hi guys
delete or create file or folder & ... not avabile in 4.4 ext memory card
fix it
. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions
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.
Or
download attachment file extract & move to system/etc/promission

Can you download files from LAN to selected folder, modify it, and send it again? or you can, using eg QuickPic sort images to different folders?
Can you use download files, and send files to different folders? eg apps to apps, music to music.?
Or you can using ID3 Tag editor download and modify music data/covers?

Give it a rest. We get it. The changes to external SD access have inconvenienced you. The changes are no surprise, so you shouldn't have upgraded if it was so critical to you to continue having full read/write access with every app.
Either use one of the fixes suggested in this thread or in the other thread you're complaining repeatedly in, or downgrade to 4.3.

its not about me, what about other people that see update, install it and find out that they cant use 50% of their apps? did you thought about that? and some people cant root, or dont know how.
I just use 4.3 but others update their XZ and would just find out that their phones doesn't work like before and just call XZ stupid phone and sell it, they gonna buy different phone and find out it again and they gonna see how google mess with idea of freedom of Android.
Its like some car producer would say that you cant use your back seats, and lock back doors, how you would feel about that?

This is a development site. Most people here are perfectly capable of rooting to workaround issues like this or even of checking critical changes in Android updates before blindly updating. I posted about this change in KitKat a few times in the large thread about the update that you've participated in, for a start.
Repeatedly complaining after you've been told how to fix your issue is doing nothing but pointlessly flooding threads in any case. Please stop.

Dude I can do anything I like and there is no error .. So if you really dont know why its not working for you simply just downgrade to 4.3 rather just thinking of others , if they like the phone they will keep it and if they dont then obviously everyone has their own choice to sell it or buy it. So please stop complaining and take some time to fix it if its not working for you then just simply downgrade ... AND CHILL

There's no reason for you to repeatedly complain about this in different threads after you've been informed of how to fix it.

Could we just convert an app like solid explorer to a system app to regain full control? Is that why file commander still works, or is it something else? I haven't had a chance to upgrade yet and try this out.

Why don`t you use FolderMount https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=nl and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192122?
+1 for folder mount, it's a life saver if you have a lot of huge apps. Saying that can't the S5 move apps to SD natively? There is an option at times to move to SD? There was a script a while ago which was called ext2internal it was made for the S3 and literally swapped the memories around. Could try contacting the creator but unless he has an S5 i highly doubt he will do it.

Hi guys,
i found a great offer from italian operator for lg G6 and i'm thinking to buy a this new phone...
but i'm pretty scared for storage, i use to have always a great number of apps and games so 32gb is worring me a lot.
So i would like to know if:
-can i set sd card as internal storage on this phone? i know is a marshmellow feature, but still my xperia z3 doesn't permit that
-if i can not, can i move my apps to sd? do i have to move it manually? any chance to move automatically on sd?
It may seems idiot to ask, but sony permit auto moving app to sd in android 5, but in android 6 makes me move manually.
thx a lot guys
have a nice day

There is an app, activated using an adb command from a pc that lets you configure sd for adoptable storage.
My vzw g6 128gb sd card is configured to 24gb adoptable and the rest normal, working fine.
