I know that this has been asked before. And yes I searched and couldnt really find an answer.
I am using The Dude's Cupcake 1.3 ROM.
Can anybody let me know how to store apps on SD or if its even possible... I want to store apps from market there...
Thanks for any input...
ok i dont mean to sound like a ****, but there are about a million threads in big bold letters that explain how to move apps to sdcard - on the first page.
so i dont believe that you searched.
read the forum and dont create new threads when the answer is on the FIRST page.
MOds please close/delete this thread.
and - if you just want to store the .apk files on your sd card there are plenty of backup programs in the market that do just that
OK I found this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512743

Check to see if you have anymore room on your phone.(if you don't know how to do that then I wouldn't recommend trying to move your apps to the sd card) If your out of storage then I would delete a few apps then install the apps 2 sd card app.

When I look into Settings -- SD Card & Phone Storage it says that I have 34MB of Available Space in Internal Phone storage. I have installed on the phone only Dude's ROM and the apps which come with it, nothing else, no additional apps...
I was able to root my phone & install Dude's ROM so I should be able to do this, with some help
-Sighs- all right. First thing you need to do is make sure your sdcard is partitioned properly with ext2 and fat32. To check, do "busybox df -h" in terminal and see if /system/sd is there. If not, partition your sdcard using paragon partition manager. There's a thread in the developent section that gives an overview of how you can do this. Second, download Cyanogen's pimped out recovery image. It's on the 1st or 2nd page of the development section under the title "Pimped out recovery image" follow the instructions to install it. Now boot into recovery (home+power) or from terminal "reboot recovery". There should be an option for moving apps to SD. Click that, wait for it to finish, reboot and you're good to go.
Meltus found SUPER easy solution to my problem...
Simply type in; chown system.system /data/app into terminal and you are good to go.
No NEED to partition the sd card or any other BS....
Thank you Meltus

Use this method. It seems to be the easiest way to get apps2sd done intially, once you finish this you can use Partition Manager to partition a newer larger SD card if you didnt already, and use that.
okay.... how can you not get apps2sd to work by reading the linked thread i up posted in my sig. which is basically stickied in the dev section.
i think you need to search a lil harder.
basically, partition your sdcard first either DL the apps2sd app or read the guide within the guide (listed in my sig) to do it.

Problem has been solved, via pm
Hello,
Someone kindly help me to understand the installation directories for the Apps and Games on Android's internal and external storage please ..
i have the DHD rooted and S-off ..
i understand how apk can be installed from Market and through 3rd party application and so on .. but certain games won't work .. due to missing data files..
so i am wondering how the installation directories work?
for app and game's main program .. it's installed to:
/data/app/"...app names..."/ ---> main program file
/data/data/"...app names..."/ ----> data files
is this correct?
for the games, where does the data files reside?
under /data/data/" xx "
or under /sdcard/android/data/" xx " ? if we want to save the internal memory?
for example, a game which is like 1xxMB large .. but i couldn't find out where the large data file was installed to .. after performing the move2SD .. it seems to me only the main app program "like 2, or 3 mb" is moved to sdcard only ...
You don't ever need to move apps to the SD card on the DHD. I don't understand why you would be asking this, unless it was for piracy.
If you want to backup data/games/apps use Titanium backup, if you want to force apps to the SD card (which is totally unnecessary on the DHD) you will have to root install clockwork recovery and install an APP2SD ROM, i.e. CM 6.1 and force apps to the SD card.
thanks for the reply.
I just want to know where they save all the files .. so i can save the internal memory .. though it's 1.5gb big ..
i have used the titanium ..and it has a feature to move app to SD .. is that the same function you mentioned about? or i need to flash another rom for it.. hmm ..
and when i uninstall the files .. i want to make sure they are clean .. not leaving some files here and there ^^
i have tested couple games now .. and able to see they indeed download the big data files to SD .. ^^ .. but i see their files everywhere .. like under data/data // system/app , mnt/sdcard/ and etc ..
thanks ~~
i got only 20mb free place at mobile (internal)
but i dont get nothing instaled
I do not know what takes so much space
got all apps on sd card whit Link2SD
how can see all files on my mobile
whit ASTRO program ce see only files on my sd card
link2sd doesnt fully switch to sd use app2sd instead
Edit:
use root explorer to see system files

he meant to use Root Explorer app instead ASTRO, it is better and you will be able to access to everything plus change permissions , edit system files and so and so.
Now in my opinion app2sd and link2sd have something is common and that is that both of them keep a part of each app you send to sdcard, the only different i see between both to my like is that with link2sd you can use widgets while with app2sd once you send apps to sdcard you will not be able to use their widgets.
BUT that is for me old stuffs as now a brand new solution has been released and im talking about data2system method.
Check development threads there are 2 method:
The first one created by Anton_ch and posted by me here in XDA
The second one created by Mu4ik and posted by fishears
Read about each one so you decide for one and try it, that is my suggestion.

well you can move some apps which are movable to sdcard.. but only if you are rooted you can move data. try link2sd.. or first search "KitKat app data to sdcard" I'm sure you will find answer.
also questions should be posted in Q&A section. you can report your own post to request for move

Firstly ROOT your device (beware of your warranty).
After you get your device rooted, search FOLDERMOUNT apps on the net.
Install, run, and GRANT SuperSU access.
Now you can easily make a "ghost" folder of internal to the external sd card (please make sure the name of th both folders are the same)
