I have tried a lot of apps (Titanium backup, app2sd, /system/app mover etc.) but I have not been able to move any system application to sd card. Is there any method i can do it?
I am using dream uno(obviously) running stock lollipop 5.1.1 and is rooted.
I m in desperate need of any such app. Thank you

Is it possable?
Download the app called Titanium-backup, backup all apps+data onto your SD card, install the stock ROM, download Titanium-backup again and recover all apps+data from your SD card.
Doesn't titanium backup require root to restore? Anyway I just made a note of ky settings and apps and reinstalled the apps from appbrain

When downloading an apk to your sd. Is it best to move it to the app folder in system to install it (as opposed to installing it right on the sd card) or is there no benefit to doing so.
just install it from the SD card. When you do that, it leaves a backup of the app there (in case you need to wipe the phone) and it installs it into the data/app folder NOT the system folder. Some apps don't play well in the system folder (handcent comes to mind) and some programs exempt system apps from their function (task killers and the like)
I put it on root of SD(not required at all) then find it in astro and all goes well every time

Ive found a way to install apps on my desire even if it says that im out of memory. When it says that its almost out of memory it means that it isnt so much space left in the data partition of the phone.
However i have seen that i have like 130 mb space left in my system partition.
The system partition is much like the data partition. The difference is that this partition holds the system apps like contact app, camera app, gallery app, settings app and so on...
Data partition unlike the system partition holds apps that are install/uninstallable. Still if you have root and have root explorer installed then you can see if you have much storage left in your system partition. I would recommend that you have about 100 mb storage left cuz then you can surely use this method.
NOTE:
This isnt garanteed 100% that it will work and for that i recommend that you do a backup of your current rom. And leave a bit space in system partition incase it needs some space. I leave 20 mb space and its working out for me fine.
So what we are gonna do is that we are gonna move our apps or games to the system partition as if it would be a system app and we are gonna use that extra space.
Requirements: Root, S-OFF, recovery, root explorer installed, the apk files of the apps you wabt to move (use a apk manager to make a apk file from your installed apps)
1. Backup your current rom using a recovery.
2. Open root explorer and grant the root access permission.
3. Go to sdcard/ and copy the apk files of the apps that you want to move
4. Go back out of the sdcard and go to system/app/
5. Here make sure you tap on the button in the upper right corner that says Mount R/W
6. Paste the apk files here and rename them to some simple name for example rename com.imangi.templerun.apk to TempleRun.apk
7. After youve done everything in the right order just reboot and your apps should appear in your apps list and you wont be able to move them to sdcard or uninstall them. Incase you have the apps that want to move already installed then uninstall them before the restart.
Only way to remove these apps is to remove the apk files from system/app folder using root manager while the system is mounted as r/w. After a restart the apps should be gone.
If anything goes wrong then just format the system partition and restore it using recovery.
Hope some of you find this helpfull
BTW: this does not work with viber so done even try or you will get unlimited crashes that wont stop viber from trying to start.

Quick question:
I'm on a MIUI based rom, and my /system/app only has 11Mb free. I'm assuming that I can't increase that without losing some important apps?
Well i have never encountered a rom that has less than 50 mb space there. I assume that you have too many apps there. See if you can clean that folder up a bit by searching for apps that you think arent necessary. Like for example i have a app called adaway.apk. I dont need it nor does the system need it. If u cannot do that then change rom.
Btw more apps that donr work with this: SetCPU, Viber

I have the 7" Tab 4 and am running rooted stock ROM. Have Titanium Backup pro, but there's no option to "move to SD" for any application, even ones I know can be moved to SD. Also, using the regular Android interface to move apps, sometimes they fail with an unhelpful error of "Unable to move app to SD".
Also, I tried to move my Titanium Backup folder from internal storage to the external storage. Moved it using ES File explorer to /storage/extSDCard/TitaniumBackup but TB doesn't detect it, and if I browse to it and set it as the folder, it tells me the folder is not writeable.
Have you applied the kitkat sd patch/fix and reformatted your sd? I cant remember what you need to format sd to as mine worked striaght out of its package on my tab s.

Applying the patch fixed part of the problem - TB can now write to the SD card. I didn't reformat - SD card was working otherwise and worked straight out of the box too.
Still no "move to SD" option (or the reverse) though.
Try folder mount from the play store
http://www.devasque.com/foldermount/index.html
That's has the download and has the [How to] and tips
You can use an app like rom toolbox or link2sd and it should let you move the majority to your sd card. Now some apps do not allow this period. Its how the dev had coded their app to work but if you try these it may help a bunch. I myself use the rom toolbox lite and have no problems at all!

Hi, I'm not an expert about mods on phone but I try it..
I have got my Note4 in signature with root access and E-motion kernel r26 installed into phone. The firmware is the stock one "DPH1".
1)
I installed Link2Sd and I followed the guidelines for partitions (ext2, etc.) to install apps to sd.
Today I've installed Foldermount app to move Whatsapp in extsd and this app has formatted my ext partition with deleting of my apps.
Therefore can't Link2sd and Foldermount operate together?
2)
How can I know my sd class? I tried through Sd tools but when you want test the sd card you get an error writing buffer.
Thanks for your helps..
