Is there a way that I can move my running apps to the external MicroSD card?
No that is not supported on honeycomb.

No need. Unlike a phone, the apps reside in the 16 or 32 gb storage space on your unit.
When I received my refurbished attic they didn't include the sd card so I was wondering if there was a way to forgo having one but still flash rom's sideload and all that good rubbish.

the atrix does not come with a sd card. it has 16gb built in storage memory, so just install applications and download things as you would and u shouldn't be running out of space anytime soon.
Go into best buy, spend 9.99 and get a micro sd card.
Indeed the phone has 16 gigs of internal storage....what do you think this is an Inspire?

I see my phone says that its 8 GB on the storage page, but then why does only 4GB show up as useable? Is there any way to change this also is there a way to install apps to SD card?
As far as I know only the dev edition with an unlocked bootloader will free that 4 gigs up. The retail RAZR m has the internal memory partitioned. 4gig for the OS and 4 gig for user app storage.

So APPS2SD isnt working on retail one?
I haven't had any luck with an app for moving apps. I've just shuffled them with root browser.

The way motorola set up the storage directories tricks app data to be placed on the internal storage. Its named sdcard. Then you got sdcard1 which is your actual sdcard. Its easy to move your music, pics, videos or movies onto the sdcard. However large amounts of additional game data is installed in internal. Should you move the data to sdcard1, the games won't detect them (with bards tale being the only exception). Moto did this on purpose to get you to buy their other droid with slight hardware improvements and larger storage areas. Now, to truly move data to the sdcard, you will need to gain root and install an app called directory bind. Which allows you to move data over to the actual sdcard using directory path manipulation.
IIRC its the norm to store data on internal sd in android... Not just a Motorola marketing scheme

Like what Saad2687 said. My advise dont get scandisk though. I have samsung 32 gig class 10 and its amazing.
Yes I got a 32GB Samsung, but the thing is with the installations and all the bloat, is there something I can do? With my S3 I used aroma debloater it was awesome it left my phone free of non useful stuff.
Brother i am infact using sandisk 32gb class 10 micro sd from past 20 days and its great no problems at all.

Use onboard storage only for apps and move media (photos, songs, videos) and documents onto SD card. But dont cheap out to buy any no name or cheap class 4 card. Class 10 is a must.
Root ya phone and grab titanium backup. You can uninstall about 900mb of crap such as eye scrolling etc...

As the others said, get a SD card. Also VERY helpful is Folder Mount as it lets you remap the /sdcard/Android folder from the internal memory to the external SD card which gets around the problem that most apps want to store everything inside those folders or directly in /sdcard.

Thanks I'll give it a try. that's what I was looking for.
Got myself a 64gb Samsung pro microsd and moved all my images/videos/music.
I only use my internal storage for apps.

By the way, be sure to read the guide on what is safe to uninstall before you go ahead.

32 GB external SD Card
Move anything that isn't apps (music, movies, any extra files) onto the external SD card. Get at least a 32gb and you should be golden.
Save to the SD instead internal memory

get another 16/32 Gig card, that should suffice.
i am suing sandisk 16 gig for the past 1 year and no issues till now, and most of the times its a life saver as i keep everything in my sd card (music pic etc)...
My setup which 16gb users might like.
My phone is 16gb
My sdcard is 32gb
But thays not enough space so i added an extra 64gb via usb
The method to mount usb is OTG in a modified case.
(*please note just use the usb when you need it as it obviously drains battery faster)
Here is a image of modified case

Use foldermount to switch game data to my 64 gb class 10 sd card.

This didn't work for me.
/sdcard is a link to /storage/emulated/0
that's internal mounted fuse
/storage/extSdCard is real sdcard mounted normally.
It's 4.2s storage problem
in previous versions it was as.simple.as editing fstab.

I don't really put a lot of stuff on my phone as I have a separate mp3 player on me at all times, so the space taken up by bloat wasn't really a problem. I already had a 32GB card on me though so I slapped that in.
i did the sd card theory with my nook color. i did 10.0, 10.2, 7.2. they all work great, wifi works, touch works, etc... but am i supposed to actually install it to the internal storage and wipe/format the nook itself or just run it off the sd card? if i am supposed to install it to the internal storage and wipe my nook then how do i do it?
thanks in advance...

That solely depends on what you *want* to do. You have the *option* of installing it to internal storage (emmc), but you do not *have* to do it that way. You can have a dual boot system with stock internally and CM on sdcard. Of course, you can also do the reverse.

I don't know what you mean by "supposed to". There is no "supposed to". It is your choice. Run it on SD like you said you did or choose to put it on internal memory. It works either way.

Does it run faster on the internal memory? Not that I am expecting a speed demon.

Only if you have a bad SD. If you have a good SD you will notice no real improvement going to internal.

I am stopping off at Radio Shack (strangely one of the cheapest local sources and generally have real SanDisk) on my way home. Not sure if my Kingston one is giving me issues.
I got a sandisk and now it is working much better.

As others have said, there's no speed difference and the choice is yours. I chose to move from SD to EMMC (internal) because I wanted to free up the SD for extra storage capability, so moving the operating system to the internal was my reason..

Since I mainly use the SD card to store large books and encyclopedias, I have a class 4 SD. There was definitely a noticeable speed movement moving to boot from SD to EMMC.
Then again, most new SD cards are class 10.
