Apps2SD: All in One Tool This is an application that can not only transfer application data to SD card, but also "all in one", which includes many interesting functions. It is one of a kind.

For Apps2SD to work, it is important to know about the need for:

• on the device must be received and they must be issued by Apps2SD
• you need to have 2 partitions on the sd card (the application provides the ability to create two partitions)
• should be installed Busybox(in case of absence, you will be prompted to download)
• should be installed Chainfire supersu when using Android 5 (Lollipop) or higher, if you want to use the ability to mount folders (Folder Mount), as well as link obb and external data to the sd card. But Apps2SD works great with other root management apps as well.

Features of Apps2SD:

• Link apk, odex, dex, lib, internal data, external data and obb of the user / system applications folder to the sd card.
• terminal emulator
• mounting and linking folders (Mount folder, Link folder)
• cleaning traces of broken applications (deleting unused files and fixing download / installation error on Google Play)
• hiding applications and games (it is possible to create access with a password)
• create / restore a backup of an application / game / sd-card
• additional reboot options
• screen recording (for Android Kitkat users or higher)
• Task Manager (clearing RAM by stopping running processes)
• App Manager (enable / disable services / activations / receivers / content providers)
• swap manager: RAM accelerator (create / manage partitions / swap files)
• sd card accelerator (increase the speed of internal / external sd card)
• sd card speed test (test your sd card read / write speed)
• tool for working with partitions (the ability to create up to 3 partitions on your sd card)
• app hibernation (hibernate user / system apps on screen off)
• script manager (create / run custom linux scripts. Create shortcuts on the home screen for quick access to scripts)
• cpu frequency switch (switch the cpu frequency to conserve battery life (charge level) when the screen is off)
• log log (view / save / send logs of your device)
• fix sd card (fix right-write to an external sd card)
• removal of system applications (including software containing viruses)
• transferring applications to the sd card using the standard app2sd method (forced movement if the transfer is not supported by the application)
• enable and disable applications
• link, link return, enable, disable, convert, integrate, clear data / cache, transfer to sd card, transfer to device and many other functions
• automatic linking of newly installed applications (optional)
• support for 32/64-bit devices

How it works:

Link apps and games (Link2SD)
Apps2SD moves apk, odex, dalvik-cache, lib and internal data files to a second partition on your map, which the OS mounts on boot and creates an ID link in its original location. This allows you to transfer most of the data (while maintaining the entire structure of files and folders), while the system continues to think that the data is still in the device's memory.

Obb link and external data (Obb2SD)
On devices that have an emulated (internal) sd card, the obb and external data files are actually located in internal storage, not on the external (real) sd card. This method allows you to move these files to the first / second section of your external sd card with an optional command binding to mount / remount the file hierarchy.

Download the program for transferring application data to the sd card - Apps2SD for Android you can follow the link below.

All Android programs are installed by default on the internal memory of the phone, tablet. Gradually, it fills up, because its volume is not unlimited. As a result, we observe the following picture: the memory of the mobile device is crammed so that there is no room even for a regular screenshot of the screen, but the external drive is absolutely empty. Transferring applications to an SD card or direct installation to a memory card will help save the gadget from "overfilling". Here are some of the benefits of doing this:

• the phone will not "freeze", "slow down" when opening a gallery or programs;


• the gadget will work quickly;


• there will be no need to regularly clean the cache.

So, let's take a look at the two most popular options for freeing up the internal "space" of a phone or tablet.

Installing directly to an external drive

In this way, you can "outwit" the system so that it will consider a USB flash drive as its own memory. This is convenient, because the volume of external storage is up to several hundred gigabytes. The main feature is the safe and automatic installation of applications to the android SD card without the need to transfer.

We need a file manager. The most popular Android SD card transfer software is Total Commander. Already installed on your phone? Fine. Not yet? You can download it for free on the 5mod website. The algorithm of actions is as follows:

• open Total Commander;


• select the "Superuser" rights;


• go to the "File system root" folder;


• find the folder "etc", and in it the file vold.fstab;


• go to "Editing";


• find the lines dev_mount sdcard / mnt / sdcard and dev_mount extsd / mnt / extsd;


• swap the last positions after / mnt /;


• save.

Ready! Now you need to restart your gadget. Installation of programs on the card will be performed automatically, and not fill the memory of the device itself.

How to transfer the program correctly

What if you don't want to uninstall and reinstall the software at all? After all, they may contain important information that is difficult to "transfer" to another device. In such cases, there is a plan "B", namely: transferring the application data to the SD card.

For gadgets with version Android 4.0+, you can use the simplest option. So:

• go to "Settings";


• select the "Applications" tab;


• find the program you need;


• in the sub-item "Memory" there are two buttons: move to the SD-card or delete data. Choose the first one;


• wait for the transfer process to complete;


• reboot your device.

Ready! But there is one important caveat - this method is not suitable for all programs. If you can't move it to the card, use the Apps 2 SD, Move app 2 sd utilities. If the software cannot be transferred, and it does not take up much space, you can leave it in the "native" memory of the phone.

Smartphone applications are becoming more and more extensive today. But for Android users this is not a problem, because programs can be installed on a memory card. This is not difficult. But what if you do not need to install the application from scratch, but transfer it from the internal memory of the smartphone to the SD card? Let's figure it out.

Naturally, after installing the card in the smartphone, he will offer you to format it into a suitable format. We would not focus on this, if not for one "but": the smartphone not only formats the card, but also encrypts it. So other devices (smartphones or PCs) simply won't read it. Well, we sorted it out. Let's move on to how to move applications to a memory card on different versions of Android OS.

Android 9

With this OS version, you can transfer apps to SD card quickly and easily. The only limitation: you cannot transfer pre-installed Google programs to the map. However, this applies to all versions of Android. In order to transfer the program from the internal memory to the SD card, go to "Settings" - "Apps and notifications" - "Information about applications".
Find the app you want to move in the list and tap it. Select "Storage" and click "Change". After that, select your memory card in the window that appears. The reverse transfer is carried out in exactly the same way.

Android 8

In general, the process of moving an application to the SD card on Android 8.0 is about the same as in the later version. You need to go to "Settings" - "Apps and notifications" - "Application information". Next, select the application, click "Change" and select a new storage location. However, it should be noted that some programs do not support the ability to save to a memory card in the version for Android 8.0. That is, the conditional application X can easily allow itself to be saved to the SD card if you have Android 9.0 installed, but here it will not allow you to do the same on the eighth version of the green robot.

Android 7 and earlier

In these versions of the OS, the process of transferring an application to a memory card looks a little different. Go to "Settings" - "Applications", then click on the desired application and click "Change". Here you can choose where the program should be saved. However, for obvious reasons, even fewer programs support this option in older OS versions.

How to move apps to SD card using Link2SD

Link2SD allows you to transfer multiple applications to a memory card at once and provides a lot of useful information

If your phone doesn't support moving apps to the SD card, but you still want to do this, there is a program that can help you with this. It's called Link2SD. And it will be useful not only in the situation described above, but also in the event that you want to move several applications at one time, and not do it manually for each program.

On some android phones, there is no way to transfer applications, various files, personal data, games to a memory card.

If your device is on this list, then I recommend downloading the program for transferring files to a memory card in your android phone.

There are many of them, but the best program for transferring applications and everything else to an android memory card is for me AppMgr III (App 2 SD).

It works great on both older versions of android and the latest: android 6.0 android 7.0.

You can download the program for transferring files to the "AppMgr III" SD card on the play market or right here on this page (download link at the end of the recording).

You can update it to the PRO version, but personally I don't see any reason for that. The tools of the free version are quite enough.

How to use the program to transfer data to sd card

Immediately after you download and install, the process of scanning the contents of your phone will begin, for programs, files, data ....

Then click on the three stripes in the upper left.

A menu will open. Select move apps.

A section will open, which will show which applications you can move to the memory card.

This is the ability to disable and hide applications you are not using. To do this, go back to the menu, but now select the item: "Hide applications".

The hiding procedure is very simple and there is no point in describing it, but AppMgr III (App 2 SD) can do something else.

This is to clear the cache in one click, uninstall applications even in a batch, sort files, adjust sound, vibration and notification backlighting.

Other programs for transferring applications or games to a SD card

If, for some reason, AppMgr III (App 2 SD) does not suit you, then there are other similar programs.

For example: Linr2SD, Files To SD Card, SD Maid, App2SD Tool, Install Apps On, App2SD & AppM and others. You can download it freely on the play market.

The internal storage on your device may not be enough for all the applications you need. Modern programs and especially games can be very voluminous. This problem can be solved by moving them to an SD card.

But there are also pitfalls. Cards are slower than internal memory. Therefore, games and other resource-intensive applications may slow down after the transfer. To reduce the loss of performance, preferably with a minimum speed of 10 MB / s. The higher the better.

In addition, the moved applications will stop working as soon as you remove the memory card. And when you put it back in, it is possible that some of them will start to glitch and give errors.

So apps are worth moving around if you're willing to sacrifice speed and stability for free space.

Can you transfer applications to a memory card

It is important to understand that not all devices provide this opportunity. There is no list of models that support the transfer. To find out if your device belongs to them, you just need to try moving applications to the map. This process is reversible and uncomplicated.

Also, even if yours allows you to migrate, you won't be able to do it with all applications. Some games and programs allow only part of their data to be moved to the map, and many do not support transfer at all.

How to move apps to SD card

Although the process of moving games and programs on different firmwares is slightly different, the procedure is similar everywhere. This generalized instruction should be suitable for everyone.

Manually

First, make sure the memory card is inserted into the machine. Then open Android settings and select the "Applications" section. In the list of games and programs, click on the one that you want to transfer to the map.

When the menu of the selected application appears on the screen, find the navigation button and use it. After transferring in the same menu, it will be possible to return the application back to the internal memory.

If the button is missing or not pressed, the program may not support navigation. Repeat these steps for other games and applications. If you fail to transfer anything, it is likely that this feature is not available on your device.

Automatically

Some devices running Android 6 or later allow the card to be used as part of the internal memory. This option makes it possible to transfer all applications at once.

To make the card work as part of the internal storage, go to the settings and open the section dedicated to memory management. Find the SD card menu in it. Use the "Format" command, select the "As internal storage" option and follow the system prompts. If this option is not available, this option is not available on your device.

Formatting will erase all data from the card. After that, it cannot be used on other devices until you format it again.

Then confirm the transfer of applications to the card. From this point on, the device will begin to perceive it as part of the internal storage, transfer old applications and install new ones on the card.

To return the program back to the device memory, you need to use the "Format" command again by selecting the "As portable storage" option. Before formatting, the system will offer to transfer applications to internal memory.

Using third-party programs

If your device does not support any of the listed methods, but is unlocked on it, you can try to transfer applications using third-party programs. For these purposes, there are, for example, the Link2SD and App2SD utilities. But even their creators do not guarantee the performance and stability of this method. So be careful.
