Is there any way to move Internet to sd card? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I want to know is there any way of moving the Internet app to SD Card, i know there is option by creating second partition on SD Card, but is there any other way, the app itself is taking 200mb...
There is same app on Google play so i though i can just uninstall it using titanium backup, and then install from play store, then i will be able to move it to sd card? I know i sound dumb but i need your opinion is there any other option before proceeding?

You can probably do it by merging the SD with the stock storage and moving the apk and all of it's data from /root/data/data/internet to sd.

any help coz the phone memory is going very low
There's various apps for handling moving stuff to the SD card, or defaulting to install there, but I personally use Titanium Backup because I use it for other stuff too. There's an option in batch options to move every non-system app to the SD card.
That's never failed for me.
Keep in mind though that some apps don't work once you've moved them to the SD card. It's a pain, but you have to move some of them back to the phone. You can do this using the method you described above. Once they're on the SD card, the option to move them says "move to phone" and is no longer disabled.

Moved apps to SD Card, didn't free up space!

My NC was complaining that it was getting low on space. Lo and behold, the internal 1 GB partition was about full. I used Titanium Backup to move most of the apps to the SD card (100 apps). The NC thinks the apps are on the SD card (and I'm assuming they're actually there), but it didn't free up ANY space on the internal partition. It's like it moved the apps, but didn't delete the old files. Does anybody have any idea how I can actually free up this space? I can't move the files back from the SD card, because it says there's no room.

When you go to the apps in settings does it still have the move to SD option?
Sent from space

No, it's got "Move to phone". It seems to have actually moved them, but doesn't seem to have removed the original files from the internal space. I've got Root Explorer, any idea where the original files would have been installed, so I can check if they're still there?
Was playing around with Root Explorer, and it seems all the files were in /data/app in the main memory, not on the SD card. I was able to delete from there, and free up space, but now the apps won't run (since they're obviously gone). Apparently it didn't actually move them to SD card, though the system thought it did. Didn't delete TB, so I can replace the apps, but I've got to find some way of actually moving them to the SD card, or making the nook partition bigger.
What happens when you use "move to SD" from the "manage apps" application?
Rather than mess around moving Apps to SD I'd recommend the repartition option. Moving to SD was necessary with phones which were tight on internal memory but that doesn't apply to the Nook. Also it is always difficult to choose which Apps to move because they will stop working temporarily if you USB mount the SD card.
The normal 1GB data partition can get tight with a lot of apps installed. The Nook has plenty of internal memory so I repartitioned to 2GB data which gives a generous area for apps and 4GB for some basic media (pictures, music, video) and leaves the SD card free primarily for extra media, backups etc.
Following gives a guide to repartitioning. Make sure you have apps backed up before doing this.

That appears to actually move them. Not sure why titanium backup isn't. Managed to free up some space this way, but I think I'm going to repartition it, rather than have to shuffle stuff around to make room.
Can you simply just go to the applications setting and select move to sd card or does this cause problems? I did the veryGreen install of CM7 and also installed gapp but have not pulled my card back out or repartitioned it or anything since doing that. I have a 16GB card and want to get full use out of it but I like my apps and download a lot. Thanks.

Application manager move app from device storage to sd card?

anyone can explain how apps move to sd card works on application manager? I actually moved all the apps from device storage to sd card and it does free up space from the device manager, but I don't see the moved apps located on my external sd-card, where did it go?
if so what did it move? simply only the APK file? or data was included?

It only moved apk not the data , data remains in the internal storage only
However if u are rooted u can use the foldermount app that can move the data also to Sd card
but which SD card did it move the apk files to? I thought it was to the external SD-Card, But I don't see anything moved to there when I open my external sd drive.

Apps in internal memory or sd card?

Hi!
I see that some of the apps are in sd card (application manager -> sd card). But I didn't move thwm there.
1. How Android decides what apps where should be installed?
2. Are there any downsides installing apps to sd card? Except the fact that apps won't be available when sd card is removed.
3. Will progress of my games and settings of my apps will be saved in sd card after apps are reinstalled after factory reset?
Thanks!!
+1
1) by size. Don't know the exact but as an example if an app is bigger than 100mb then it is installed on the external sd.
2) The one you stated plus the fact that the internal memory is quite faster than the external card.
3) I think no. Except for apps that use an account or the internet for saves, you are gonna need an app like titanium backup to restore apps data.

Delete app data from the SD card?

I'm thinking of doing a factory reset soon. I'm wondering how I can remove any app data from the card without going into settings and doing it one by one. I moved a decent number of apps to the sd card as well as having things like spotify store offline files on it. I'd like to avoid formatting the card if possible.
Cheers
you can delete app data by using a pc , simply insert your sd onto your pc and go to the sd drive and deleting the android folders , there are normally 2 of them , i have done this many times over the years as i dont want to loose all my music and films stored on my sd card
