How to install apps to sd card instead of phone storage - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I don't have any options to install apps. Apps will be installed automatically after download. Please help.

I think the app has to support it and then you go to manage apps and pick the app and press move to SD card

check app2sd on market

I think there is a setting in Spare part that will allowed that to be fixed, also, a apps manager (can't remember which 1, will help as it seems to have a default setting for all apps downloaded to be installed to SD...
sorry, cannot be of much help as I am in the office now and that my NAND built had died on me.
Regards

I use App2Sd (can manually move certain apps to sd) together with SpareParts (where I set default to install apps to external memory), but you can also try Move2SD Enabler from the Market.

lots of thanks guys

Also titanium backup pro version can forcibly move apps to SD, though this can have some undesired results, it can help save a few extra MB, and the app can always be moved back to phone if a problem arises...

Move2SD Enabler works perfect, you can move "ALL" your Apps to SD. After installed Move2SD Enabler, must activate it, then you can use Apps2SD to move the Apps.

Low Storage Space solutions

My phone is beginning to repeatedly give me a low storage warning.
Was just wondering if there are any solutions or things you can recommend. Perhaps transfer everything from the phone storage to my 16gb storage card?
Or things that can be deleted without doing damage?
Look forward to your reply!
Theres a couple quick things that come to mind
Ensure camera photots are saved on memory card (done in camera settings)
Make sure Opera cache is on Storage card (there is info on how to do this on the forum)
Try not to use Marketplace as it defaul installs apps to device (unable to change default)
If you do use marketplace ensure you move the apps using FileManager (or equivalant)
Ensure all apps (except system updates) are installed on Storage Card
Delete cabs from device after installation
Ensure all music/files/photos are stored on storage card
did anyone find a way to store e-mails on microSD (not attachments) ?

Top man! That's good advice there. Is there any other things that need the default save location changed?

What about youtube? where do those viewed clips go? or don't they get stored?

youtube Application indicates "Storage Full"

Anybody encounter this issue?
I checked the internal and external memory card, both still have more than 40% of free space.
anybody can help me?
Your phone memory is prob really low, maybe under 9mg or something like that
You might need to unistall some programs from the phone and on to your memory card instead
yes, it happens when your internal memory is less. uninstall some files on the internal memory. it happened with me after i installed lot of gameloft games...they install on device.
maybe you can try installing youtube on your storage card. the cab can be found in m.youtube.com/app
I get this alot too, go to file manager, windows, youtube, menu, edit, select all, back to menu, delete. And also go to Opera, and clear the cache
delete cache files in applications/album and google maps cache..also install the new gmaps 4.x version on the sd card and uninstall the older version on the internal memory..........it helped me and now i have 50 MB free space

1. Depends on your settings. You can check where it is installed under settings --> applications --> manage apps --> click the one you want to check.
Yes you can remove the apk from the SD
2. Only system apps are stored in system/app. User apps are stored in /data. You can uninstall apps in setting --> apps --> manage apps --> "click the app you want" --> uninstall
3. If you are running out of memory then yes. But it is not needed. I never put my apps on SD because it is slower than internal memory...

Link2SD or similar - SM-G360T

I've spent the last two days looking around online for different ways to use my SD card as internal storage in my phone. I was able to successfully root, but Link2SD, Int2Ext, and other apps have been unsuccessful, always with the same problem. Unable to mount. I've tried partitioning as ext2, 3, and 4, with no luck. USB debugging is enabled, as well as SU access on boot. I've checked every forum I could find (not many) regarding different ways to use an SD card as internal storage, but always get this same error. I've also tried searching for fixes to the "unable to mount" error, with no luck.
I'm feeling really stuck now. I feel like it should be much easier to use external storage this way, especially using android.
Does anyone have any experience/ideas that might help? (Besides buying a new phone.)

Yes. This is quite the problem for this device, as there is not really very much internal space. I tried all the same things that you did when I first got the device too. The problem is that the internal SD is emulated, which confuses apps like Link2SD and makes them think that the emulated internal SD(/storage/emulated/0/), which is an emulated mirror of the actual internal SD(/storage/sdcard0/), is actually the external, so you will get messages like, "No need to move the items as they are the same location." You would need to disable the internal SD emulation in order to ever hope to move your apps and/or system stuff to the external. This was actually done by someone for my last device, the LG L70. This guy made a flashable file that disabled the emulated internal SD, which allowed you to do whatever you wanted with your internal and external space.

In the meantime though, you can try and clear space in other ways. If you have the Xposed Framework installed(recommended), then you can use some Xposed modules to move some stuff to your external SD. More info on installing Xposed here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67909185&postcount=393
Some modules you can try which I use and I can say actually work on this device are:
- Downloads2SD: Allows you to change the default download locations for videos, music, pictures you take or download and other miscellaneous downloads so that they automatically go to the external. Actually does save a lot of space and time.
- Obb on SD: This is handy if you play games that take up a lot of space. It moves the sometimes huge Obb data folder for those to the external.
(NOTE: Both of these will also require you to install and run an app from the Play Store called SDFix by NextApp first.)
You can also flash SlimPickins rom, which is a completely debloated rom that takes up a lot less internal space:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...rom-slimpickins-stock-rooted-bloated-t3250883
For more info on debloating and creating more space on this device you can also check out this old debloating thread I made too here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...oating-sm-g360t1-sm-g360t-easy-guide-t3260136
You can also search the Play Store for light alternatives to your current apps. A great example of one I use now is called "Swipe". It's a super light Facebook app that looks and functions exactly the same, but cuts off about 300mbs+ of the space taken up by the original.
In short though, there is really no other way right now to clear up space on the SM-G360T/SM-G360T1. Hope this helps!

Hi,
I have a Core PrimeSM-G361F with pre-rooted firmware and I am successfully using Link2SD.
Did you format and create two partitions on your internal microSD? I think this is necessary. Check out this tutorial:
