Lost all my Apps (Urgent help please if poss)

I need some help please
I have installed loads of apps recently on my phone (excess of about 80-100)
everything was going fine and i was loving the way it was
this morning, my phone was running really slow so i shut down and booted it up again, now all my shortcuts are little windows with a gear on the front, so i thought the sd card had not mounted properly, so i unmounted and mounted again, then i released all the apps that had this shortcut are actually installed on my phone not the sd card.
I moved over a couple of videos to my sd card this morning, but i dont think that would have affected the apps that are installed on the phone
i cant restore from a back up as i haven't made one yet (only put wildpuzzle 0.8 on last night)
can anyone help or point me in the right direction,
thanks for looking

Is the sd card a cheap one from ebay?

[Q] Anyone know how to move apps to SD on this phone?

No internal option within Apps themselves.
Tried a couple of app mover apps off Google Play Store -- no dice.
Anyone?
Thanks!

I don't believe you can thanks to ICS.

Wouldnt blame it on ICS as such, works on other ICS devices.

Moved To Q&A​
Please post questions in the Q&A section​

From what I've heard on other forums, Motorola has disabled the feature to move apps to the SD card. I believe that they did this to remove any root exploits. I'm not sure if this is a feature in the developer edition sold directly from Motorola though. Maybe someone with a developer edition could enlighten us.

Now that we have root and jelly bean (I still cant get root on my jb leak but I'm open to suggestions) .....any possible methods to move our apps to the damn SD card?? I'm already getting notifications that the internal storage is almost full.....****ing ridiculous

including the new su and superuser, not sure if they are the ones from aosp.us but they worked for me on jB leak
Also when it says press button combo for bugreport, I hold vol.up and power, until the root process is complete, vibrates a total of 5 times for me but it worked flawlessly twice, so yeah I suggest u try and hold the buttons until it reboots because of program

Thanks man, I got it to work finally. I appreciate it...
so any ways you can think of that we can move apps to SD?

Hey guys, I got a BONAFIDE way to move our apps 2 sd!!
first: partition your sd card
then: install and use link2sd
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432459
boom there's the tutorial, took me a good 30 minutes to do (was watching the new always sunny episode while doing it) but it freaking WORKS...
definitely the best bonus of us getting root on our razr m's thus far as the internal storage is realistically only 2-3 gigs so this adds like 33-66% to your apps storage!!

I attempted this while carefully following the directions and it did not work on a Droid Razr M..... I succeeded creating the 2nd part. and the app identified it accordingly while looking under storage devices, but unfortunately the app only allows the option to move to "sd card"....which is the name on the internal memory, so it gives an error...motorola sly-fully named the internal memory "sd card" so the app keeps trying to send things there and all I get is an error message.............have you succeeded doing this with a Razr M?? And if so what could I be doing wrong???? Thank you!

Yeah it definitely works on a razr m, I'm using it right now and after I was done the internal memory grew back around a gigabyte....
Hm I'm not sure about that error, I'd say start over and try again with the exact programs it uses

I'm also having the same issue; Link2SD is giving me an insufficient space error, because the internal storage is called 'sd card'. What did you do differently? I've followed the original instructions twice from scratch.

Im not sure, I feel like I've been having problems with link2sd since I ota updated to jb...I can't tell if its working or not though its linking all my apps

Tried starting over and partitioning the apps partition to FAT32 as well as Ext 2, neither worked. Tried on another card, still no go.
The app thinks the internal storage space is actually the SD card, because that's what it's called. If you look around with a file explorer, you'll see that the internal storage space is actually /sdcard. If you want to get to the REAL sd card, it's under storage/sdcard1. storage/sdcard0 seems to be the same folder as /sdcard. Is there a way/a different app that lets you specify where you want to establish your new apps folder? I think that's all the fix it needs. But I am no dev.

Its called external1 actually.

Any update or luck to move apps to sdcard?
Do we need absolutely to root the device ? Apps like gps navigation, maps.... need more space and I can't move them to the external card.

Yeah if anyone could look into this that would be awesome...my car got broken into in Newark yesterday so I'm busy tryna get that taken care of, I'll be able to mess with it myself later in the week
It's getting really irritating though, i can't keep large game apps on here because of this problem, which is ridiculous seeing as to how the phone runs them like a champ and i have a whole 32 gig card in there

Device working perfectly until.....

Sorry for posting in galaxy y thread but there is no galaxy pocket (or if there it's,I couldn't find it) and this model is the closest I could think of..so anyways my phone, it works fine unless I insert the memory card.then after a few minutes it freezes and reboots without powering off. Then it restarts, freezes and again shuts down.removing the card fixes it but then I can't use my apps songs and videos on my memory card. That card worked fine for almost a year (I didn't test it on some other Android device but it works on non Android devices)
My Recent Activity
a few days ago I decided to deodex my phone using a flashable I found somewhere...it all was working fine except for a few FCs and sometimes it froze but after some time it would get back to normal.then I installed a few apps like undelete and ROM toolbox pro.I changed the boot animation too. So once I was using opera mini web browser and my phone froze and turned off in the same way I mentioned earlier... I tried clearing dalvik cache and the cache partition in recovery mode but to no avail.I also removed a few apps I suspected may have been the cause but that too didn't work.
I hope the experts here help me out with the issue soon.

Use a pc and a card reader to make a backup of ur sdcard and then format it (to fat32).. and restore the data to sdcard from pc and try..

[TIP + GUIDE] Increse SD Card Performance + Game Loading Times by ~50%

Hey guys i recently formated my SD card and OMG!
So Basically i launched up MC4 and saw a MASSIVE, I Mean MASSIVE like 20 Seconds less time to load it up, So if u want this perfromance just follow, :3
1. Download Mini Tool Partition Wizard
2. Either Connect Device with SD Card into PC in Recovary or Put SD Card into PC
3. launch MTPW (Mini Tool Partition Wizard)
4. Backup All SD Data (Cut to PC)
5. Wipe Whole SD Card
6. Format in a Fat-32 Format
7. Disconnect SD Card and Leave for like 10 Mins
8. Connect SD Card
9. Copy Old Files
10. Enjoy Super Speedy Device + SD
Also a Little tip i recommend starting Fresh with this, eg what i did was flash a stock debloated STRAIGHT After and i felt fresh?? weird right, but its even better
:3 Enjoy!

completely agree with you, I once a month (or sometimes every two weeks) formatting my SD (after making a backup of course) and back to create the ext3 partition again, and then to reinstall the rom (Stock Clean) feels soft as butter ..

Yes!, I already clean my dalvik cache + del unneccesary files but from now on I want to format my play every 3 months! (weird right?, but it keeps it buttery!)

There is also an app called sd maid. It will clean your sdcard without having to move everything off. It more of just looks for dead files and files linked to games/apps not installed and deletes them.

I use this every few months. Reboot the phone and away you go

I used this app 1 time, but i ran everything (mostly) and it detected my cwm backups and thought they were dupes so they were all deleted exept the newest one -_-, guess it was my fault, but i use something for my internals, its called root cleaner, but its paid, but worth it!, i run that like evey week or so... along with the supercharger superclean script!

Isn't going to slow down after some time?

[Q] Move Apps to EXT SD Card

Guys, I'm trying to move my games to my External SD card since I've got only 1gb left of my internal, but when I try to do it just from the Application Manager inside Settings, it only moves a few megabytes (X-Com Enemy Unknown has 3.7gb and moved to SD 60mb of it, awesome...)
I'm rooted, using X-Note 13, knox tripped 2 minutes after getting inside the house with the phone, I don't care about warranty or stuff, just... Could someone provide a fix, please? Tried App2SD, Link2SD and other apps like this, but it seems all they do is just move provide me with a shortcut to the same Application Manager from Settings that does the same useless thing. I didn't get a 64gb sd card to move 60mb out of 3.7gb from a game, seriously...

I think it depends on the programing of the game what can be moved and what not. Some programs can't be moved at all, but most of the big games I have, large portions of the data was moved to SD card during the install all by itself. If you just purchased the card, maybe reinstalling the game from start would give you better results, if that was an option? Also it seems to me you're using close to 25 GB of internal storage but you only mention one game, surely you must have many other large programs installed, what about them? There are some programs that can fool the system into "thinking" your external SD card is internal memory and your internal memory becomes external, but I don't have details ATM, also this could create problems if your SD card went bad.
And maybe you should take a hard look and see if you really need all those programs? If I didn't keep the tabs and clean all the junk, delete less frequently used programs etc. on regular basis, 96GB of memory wouldn't be enough either LOL.

I mentioned just one game as an example. I have quite a lot of space-hungry games, such as Bard's Tale, Modern Combat 4, Gangstar 4, Amazing SpiderMan2, etc...a total of around 40 games, mostly large games, and I have basically moved everything I could from Application Manager, yet it moved very very very little out of them. I tried deleting and reinstalling them, formatting my sd card, reflashing the rom from scratch with fresh sd, basically same thing every time. I got this phone to be able to have a mobile console with me that can also receive calls (boring job, games on phone help a lot), and now my sd seems so pointless
Internal Memory 26.3gb - 1.2gb free
Ext SD Card 59.0gb - 42.6gb free

bump, please?

The only app that worked for me is FolderMount [ROOT].

RinaldiMe, thanks a lot man, I just bought that app, testing it now, but from it's description, it should do exactly what I hope . It requires individual move of each app and folder, but it does the trick, thank you so very much
Will come back with replies as soon as I move 5-10 apps and test it out more
L.E.: Nope, bought the app, not just the free version, moved some files, still didn't work, apps just thought they didn't have their files and wanted to redownload...
Back to square one

I'm assuming your on kk bootloader and dunno if Mattiadjs int2extsd mod will work on 4.4, but I've been using his script meant for JB 4.3 that switches where the huge data and obb files are stored to your extsd instead of internal storage.
Try checking the galaxy s4 thread for the kk mod, I'll try looking too and post a link for ya. I know what your going thru as I have over 500+ apps/games and needed the 128gb SanDisk to store all my obb/data files along with pics and mp3 media.
Here's the link to the kk int2extsd mod

Any luck with that link I sent you, it's really easy to use as you just flash it in recovery. Your rom and kernel need to support init.d and it only works on TouchWiz roms.

Restoring a backup now, hoping it'll work. Basically it still saw my internal sd as internal sd, but it didn't see my card properly anymore (and yes i did check the exfat or fat32 version to use)

Are you tried App2sd?

Read op instructions. You have to put the same name folder both internal and external. Example: titanium backup. Both of internal and external must have the same name and caption.
Put all the titanium backup data in external titanium backup folder.
Leave titanium backup folder in internal empty.
Run the app, and select the correct path.

Any luck? this seems to be a generic android problem. can't believe no one figured out a solution yet. tried link2SD but it doesn't seem to see the full game size... detects something like 50 mb offf a 3 gb game...

assume u r note r rooted...install Xposed installer, then download a module obb on sd , enable it at the modules after downloading and installing, reboot and them move any game obb data from the note internal memory to the SD after creating folder Andriod/obb at sd
