Only android devices running 2.2 froyo can install apps onto sd card. Root has nothing to do with it

You can delete everything from sd card. I backed up mine and then formated it. If you want to be sure you can use phone with SD card taken out for some tkme and you'll see everything will work with no problems

There's been a solution for this since a long time. Search Google and xda for 'App2sd+'. It's a patch that'll enable you to create a special partition on the SD card to move any app to it (all non-core apps, not just ones which are explicitly enabled). The easiest way to get this feature is to use the latest CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1 ROM. It has it included by default and you can enable it in Settings>CyanogenMod settings.

You can also use a guide from 3xeno, search in development section, thread is called custom mtd partitions. The only thing is that with sense roms you won't manage lot, but its great with customs like cm.

a2sd partition ext3 and fat32 partition on the SD card, can be solved with too little memory, the software will be stored in ext3 and fat32
u guys using ics roms and need some extra space for system apps?
Requirements: must have flashed Neo L ftf or GB ftf modded by cosmicdan for miui Australia. This is to enable vendor partition.
Go to system/vendor and add app folder (if not already there) u can add any app that u want (system, user, even lwp). This partition has about 130mb of unused memory.
I tried this on stock 4.0.3, 4.0.4 and 2.3.4 Dont know about cyanogen.
so here is how/where the apps go.
quoting cosmicdan
Vendor/appslog is it's own partition but it's gets mounted to the system/vendor folder. Stock R800 has partition order (1) system, (2) userdata, (3) unused (including vendor/appslog) (4) cache:

but this doesn't give you extra space does it? Just the same system storage as it's in /storage

It just does not count against system or data. Try it u'll see.
I dont know exactly which partition it uses.

It still uses the same exact space. All it does is "trick" the phone into thinking there is more memory when in actuality there isn't. Take it from a developer that has been doing this since android came out, THIS ISN'T REAL.
Cool.
Im no dev, so I cant argue, but it allows me to install more system apps. Wallpapers and ringtones.
I have 96 mb free In system vendor. And 65 mb free in system.
Currently using customized xdark v2 Rom. Added some Xperia gx apps, live and regular wallpapers, ringtones, forget what else.
The stock neo L 4.0.4 fw uses this folder for many system apps. If Sony uses it why not us?

See how system/vendor is different from storage? Look at the bar in the ss.
Trick or not it works. When u move apps there, it frees up space in system storage, so you can throw more things in there. Dont believe me? Try it.

I guess you don't quite understand how the android OS works. It does not free up anything, it only allows you to think it does. Please do some research before posting.

Yes, you are.
You are right. I dont know anything about android. Like many here, i'm learning from devs like u.
I'm most likely using the wrong terms too, so I dont think i'm making myself clear.
But thanks for looking. :beer:

you clear to me , but this doesn't give more space.

Maybe I see your point now. No it does not give you extra space like your mod with ftf. It is just a folder that does not get used by custom roms (zip flashing does not add anything there. Therefore, face unlock issues by many users. And cwm recovery does not back it ip either probably because it is not in the system partition?)
But the folder is there mostly empty.

use root explorer of your choice. navigate to system/vendor and add folder named app. it should look like system/vendor/app. set permission 755. rwxr-xr-x and you are done. add apps manually and set permission 644 rw-r--r--
Edit: interesting, I did not imagine that Verizon users would get a different partition layout, thanks for the info!

Hmm, I notice that my system/app folder and my data/app folder on the phone have two different amounts of memory that are used and free. Therefore, two separate partitions? Forcing apps into system apps would free up space on the other partition...That's what this is all based on, right?

right, vendor is a third partition that gets mounted onto system. therefore, adding stuff there frees up memory from the other two. system and data.

I just flash that Rom last night and I had like 14kb free in system. (the fix 1 he has wasnt flashing cause of full memory) After moving stuff I have now 50mb and added more stuff like gtalk, walkman by thilina c, Xperia s v2 apps thats flying around in neo thread, mmmm forgot what else.
What root explorer r u using? For me the best is rom toolbox cause it shows u the available space. For each partition.

Hi all!
I would like to move huge apps to my SD card now that I am rooted. (Forget the class number but it's high and it's a 16gb model)
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53428200&postcount=1
I downloaded the app off of the play store. When I go to any APP2SD app it still says my device is not supported. How do I go about doing this?

I know I said I installed that!!!!
What do I do after that? The APP2SD apps still won't move my apps to my sd card.
Had to remove your link to google play it wouldn't let me post it lol.
If by huge apps you mean games that have obb files, try foldermount..works for me.

so I used this app and when I rebooted the Galaxy S5 boot screen showed the lock icon (unlocked) with "Custom" written underneath it. don't suppose that's anything to be concerned about?

Only if you plan to return your device. That let's Verizon know your rooted.

I tried using the app to mount the AC4 game/map browser. I'm not sure what it did but it didn't take it off internal storage.
I'm still looking for a way. For example the ACiV app only moves about 40 of the 200 mb. Those root app 2 sd cards don't seem to work.
