Ever since the MM update, i am unable to move the apps from Internal memory to external memory. My internal memory is full and i am not able to install anymore apps.
My gf who also owns a Moto X Play has the option. I have tried resetting the phone but of no use.
Could someone help me with this please?

There isn't any option AFAIK in MM Roms to move apps from internal to external.

Excuse me. If you not able to move apps to ext.mem.card you can move other files, videos like big files from internal storage to ext.mem.card .
Currently i have 129 applications twrp backup files, titanium backup files are in my internal memory and 11.86 gb only used of 25.45 gb total internal storage, no need of apps to move external sd card. I have 32 roms ,videos, photos and other files in ext.card.
Yeah move to SD is removed in mm. I'm guessing it's because adaptive storage is there new thing should you want more space in a phone.
Tbh it was always hit and miss in lollipop anyways as developers had to support it, which most didn't.
I have apps on my sd from lollipop, which show as such and can be moved back. I'm not, as I'll probably lose the function to kick them back if I wanted.

Thambi not everyone wants to Root their phone. If i root the phone my Banking apps don't work. On a Rooted phone i cannot generate a TAN number (Something like the Grid on the bank of ICICI bank card) to do online Banking

With root you can install xposed. With xposed you can install module that can fake unroot for those kind of apps.

Im not rooted but i was wondering if applications i downloaded from the android market and music i downloaded save on the phone or on the sd card and if they save on the phone is there anyway to move them to the sd card? Thanks
theyre saved on the phone, and cannot be moved to the sd card unless you are rooted and have an apps2sd partition on you sdcard. You dont need to move anything because there is 190MB of space reserved for apps, and most apps take up less than a MB.
Google will make a feature to move apps to your sd card once security issues are addressed.

Unless you install appmanager.
You can then BACKUP the non-protected apps to your sdcard for keeping.
if you have root explorer and root you can do more.....
Music will save to your SD card, though, unless it is a protected download from T-Mobile.

Lots of stuff.
Installing apps to the SD card
Turn your phone into a wireless access point for tethering to a laptop
Modify the Hosts file so ad supported apps no longer display ads
Install modified OS builds
There are others but those are the reasons I have a rooted G1 and I will root my Nexus when I get it.
EDIT. The wireless tethering is the big one. I use that the most. Apps to SD isn't as much of an issue because of the additional storage on the Nexus compared to the G1.

Here's an idea... how about reading a couple of stickies in the Development subforum, as well as the numerous threads in the HTC Dream and Magic forums regarding the benefits of rooting. The information is all there.
Sorry to post such a noob question on these boards.
I found this forum to be the most active in regards to the Xperia Play so thought I'd set up home here for a while.
I have the 16GB card that came with my PLAY, and even though when I install an app/game, I use the 'move to SD card', my internal storage is very low (getting a message). It's like 20mb or something left. I have gone through all the apps and moved everything that can to SD Card.
I am new to Android (from Ios), but thought this would be ok as everything could be installed on the SD Card, but my internal storage keeps going down anyway.
So this is going to greatly limit the number of games/apps I can install even though I have plenty of SD card space?
Cheers.

Google adb, learn its basic functions and how to use it, then from adb shell, use the command pm SetInstallLocation 2, this will force all apps and libs to be moveable to the sd card, i have 200+ apps n games on my play and still 70mb of internal storage

Careful about moving apps to the SD card. A lot of apps don't like it at all and will stop functioning completely. Apps that want to be on all the time, for example (Trillian, Tweetdeck, etc...) will just be killed every so often and you'll wonder why you never got that message on MSN or why you didn't get that DM from Twitter. Any app that has widgets will break the widgets completely when moved to the SD card.
It's one of those things I discovered that no one seems to talk about.

No, adb stands for android debug bridge, is basically a way for you to comunicate with your device remotely using a pc. Like another poster has mentioned, becareful what you move any app with a widget you want to use, or any app you wish to start on boot or sync need to stay on the internal storage

Hi! I have a Sony Xperia Play
Phone details:
Model - R800i
Android Version - 2.3.4
Kernel Version - 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Build - 4.0.2.A.0.42
My internal storage is very low (getting a message). I have gone through all the apps and moved everything that can to SD Card.
I have heard about Titanium Backup root, DroidSail Super App2SD, adb, Link2SD and so on.
The methods above can let me move those unmovable apps to the SD card.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of them? How do they compare? Which method is safer or more reliable? Which method can move more apps?
If you know, please let me know, thanks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got this information from the official Link2SD website, this is comparing Native apps2SD to Link2SD, I don't know how Link2SD compared with Titanium Backup root, DroidSail Super App2SD, adb and so on. If you know, please let me know, thanks.
(Native apps2sd
Starting with Android 2.2 (Froyo) Google introduced native apps2SD.
This method moves
* apk file on Android 2.2
* apk + lib files on Android 2.3+
into a secure folder on your SD card in the main FAT partition.
It is the easiest method because it doesn't require you to partition your sdcard and root privilige.
It has some disadvantages though.
First disadvantage is that application files are just stored on the sdcard's main FAT partition.
When you enable USB mass storage to share files with your computer (or otherwise unmounts or removes the external storage), any application installed on the external storage and currently running is killed.
The system effectively becomes unaware of the application until mass storage is disabled and the external storage is remounted on the device.
Besides killing the application and making it unavailable to the user, this can break some types of applications in a more serious way.
So second disadvantage is that not all apps can be moved with native apps2sd method because of above reason.
In order for the application to consistently behave as expected, developer should not allow the application to be installed on the external storage if it uses any of the following features, due to the cited consequences when the external storage is unmounted:
Widgets, Services, Alarm Services, Live Wallpapers, Live Folders, Account Managers, Sync Adapters, Broadcast Receivers listening for "boot completed".
Force move (requires root);
You can force the apps move to SD card with native apps2SD even the application does not support moving as described above.
Link2SD and some other apps can force move apps if you have root priviliges. But, note that this can break some applications, as described above.

Hi could anyone tell me how to save Apps to an SD card in my Z2?
You cant... its because Google decided to restrict it in 4.4

You can't, read about the restrictions of KitKat. and if you have root you can use an app to do that.
Seriously? Can't believe I just found out... what is the point of this restriction? is andriod trying to copy Apple with their restricted iphone storage?

I don't think Google likes SD cards, and they try to promote their Google Drive. None of the Nexuses have SD card slots.

What about applications though, you can exactly move them to cloud to free up space. The Z2 only has 16gb and with apps getting bigger and bigger that's really going to be a big limitation.

So your apps use 12GB storage? That is how much free space you have. For backup apps you can just move the backup folder to SD card. You can have Nandroid backup on SD card aswell.
Also music and films go to SD card. There are exploits for Spotify to move the folder to the SD card.

You should be able to save photos/videos to SD card still (there's an option in the camera app).
There is an option to transfer data like videos, photo's & music in "storage" , which I know does not solve the problem but is good news for Z2 developers because this shows that it's possble to do it & create roms with that purpose in mind...
There's no problem on galaxy devices coz their native folder manager "My files" bypasses this restriction.
I hope Sony creates their own native manager to fix that!

Try a Xposed module named XInternalSD
Try foldermount. On my Z2 it works but I have the premium version. I am not sure if it also works with the free version.

Do you have problem installing some apps? It says No space available but i still have 9gb available in my internal card. Hope u can suggest what i can do to install any app i want. Thank you!

Let's go out on a limb here but have you tried folder mount?
Still can't do it with new update?
So let me get this straight, even with the new update(4.4.4), you still can't move apps to sdcard on the Z2???
I'm unrooted/stock, just got the device, but I'm shocked to know this, I should've looked more into it before making the purchase. I have link2sd, and I noticed it just takes me to the app in app info(which I could do by myself through settings), and I still don't have an option to move apps to sd card.
Am I missing something? I have to root to move apps to sdcard with the z2 on the latest stock rom and firmware??
I didn't want to start a new thread and saw this one, among others.

Try moving apps to sd. Without rooting Samsung should letnyou move some of the apps to sd. Also, move everything you have, including pictures from whatsapp and whatever to SD in order to free up more internal space, since only on it can apps be installed.
"I only have Facebook and Messanger". It's like you said i have 2 apps worth almost 1GB.
Use alternative for those 2, use facebook via browser.
If you really love those apps than install facebook with messanger built in by Zonik to save space

Hi Everyone,
I need your kind advice.
My Redmi Note 7 has 64GB internal storage. Half of it is in use/busy. Google storage is 54GB 22GB of it is in use/busy. Google doesn't allow to update apps saying that there's not enough space... My phone's performance can't be optimized better than 97%.
I bought an SD card storage of 256GB. Then I am disappointed. Obviously not the photos, videos, and music of 5GB the problem is. I thought that I could transfer apps to SD, but I was wrong. I don't know what to do now. Should I root my phone I could get huge storage. Problem is that banking apps cannot be used on rooted phones. I can get a great phone, but I guess no more system security patches and can't use banking app.
What the *** should I do? And how?
Actually, I certainly have to do something, because my phone freezes very often.
I need your advice, please.
Thanks.

Thanks, but the only one cell I have rooted was a KitKat 4.4.2 Navon Mizu D402. It was over 3 years.
I don't know what back up exactly means -- is it possible to use the phone as not rooted one day?
When the phone is rooted is there an app that is able to hide root from banking apps?
Link2SD and there were a lot of apps that were necessary to use SD card as internal storage.
Actually, I haven't got a clue how to root the phone, which app works on mine and what about system security patches.
So, I'm a totally novice now.
Hello you can move apps to sd card by formatting your sd card as internal storage (check youtube) but I wont recommend bcz sd card are slow than internal storage and can make your apps perform slow. If u want to root than magisk already have a way to make banking apps work using magisk hide. U just need a bit of research to understand this things. Things in rooting changed a lot after kitkat and its much better now.

Just keep apps on internal and media on external, how u got your 64gb filled with only apps? Banking apps can be easily used after rooting. System security patches are faster with custom roms than miui.
