Transferring data to Samsung's memory card. How to transfer applications from internal memory to an SD card in Android

In modern phones and tablets, excellent camera modules are used, which sometimes allow you to receive professional pictures. However, together with the quality of the images themselves, the size of the photos that occupy a lot of space are growing. If free space ends on the device, it should be released. You can do this including using a memory card to which we transfer photos and, accordingly, we will free the place on the device.

Moving photos from the main memory to the memory card

In order to transfer images to a memory card, you will need a memory card itself installed in your smartphone or tablet, and a file manager.

After you install a memory card to your device, you can make sure that the device "sees it". To do this, go to the settings and select the "Memory" subsection.

Here are finding the "SD card" item. As you can see, our device recognized the card.

Now you will need a file manager. As a file manager, you can use any application to your taste, since the transfer process itself will be similar. If the FM is already installed in your firmware, you can use it. If not, download Market from Google Play. We will use the ES Explorer app.

Run the application and see two file sections. In our case, the first one is a memory card, the second and memory of the device. Since the photos are located in the device's memory, we open it.

We need to highlight them, for this click on the image and hold your finger about one second to make the opportunity to highlight photos. Allocate the necessary of them or all (put a tick), then click on the "Cut" button (scissors).

Now you have to go to the memory card.

Here you need to create a folder where images will be transferred, or use the already existing one. In our case, we will create such a folder by clicking on the appropriate button (cross).

Enter the name for the folder (preferably on the Latin) and click OK.

The folder is created. Go to the folder, taping once on it.

Folder empty. To transfer, click on the "Paste" button.

Please images transferred.

Just in case you can make sure that they are not left in the phone's memory, by visiting the desired folder in the memory of your device.

As you can see, nothing complicated. In this way, you can transfer other files to the memory card with the exception of applications.

An error message meaning a lack of space in the memory of your smartphone comes at the most unexpected moment. To many owners, such a message brought a lot of trouble.

Where does the place go?

Given that the updates of many applications occur automatically, we are not always able to control the volume of occupied memory. Most of the place is occupied by games, graphic applications, cards. The place takes not only the distribution of the game itself, its program files, but also stored in the database cache and other resources. By setting new and new games, applications and programs, you risk to face the problem of lack of space.

How to move applications to a memory card?

You can always find an output. There are several options for how to move applications to a memory card. Android to 2.2 application transfer functions on the memory card does not have. It requires a special approach. Also on "Android" 4.4 "Kit Cat" manufacturers have closed the application transfer function for safety purposes. In other versions, the instruction is simple.

To transfer, open the settings locate the "Applications" section. On the SD map you will find all applications that support movements. Now you need to choose those programs that you really want to move. If the application is marked with a checkbox, it works at present, and system files cannot be moved. Before applications, move to the memory card, you need to turn it off. I will make sure that the right choice is made. Click on the program name. Information about it will be discovered. Here is the location and number of space occupied. To complete the operation, it remains to click on the "Move the map to the SD" button and wait for the operation.

The action also has a reverse move. Not all programs are transferred completely. A small part of system files still remains in the phone's memory.

AppMgr3 application

APMGR III program is designed to help users. With it, you can easily move the applications on the CD card and back. Previously, this program could be found called the App 2 SD. The utility has additional useful features. With it, you can:

Hide the application icon from the general menu.
Configure notification about the completion of the application installation.
Fast

In the program interface, the sorting is made in the form of convenient tabs. It will be possible even newcomer. The AppMGR program is conveniently used yet because it automatically divides all applications to three types:

ON Phone - are in the phone's memory, but the transfer is supported.
ON SD Card - already moved to the SD card.
Phone Only - applications that do not support the transfer.

Thanks to this property, it is easy to estimate the amount of information before moving applications to the memory card. Android supports other programs that make a similar task. The utility works perfectly on tablets. The disadvantage is that for some smartphones models, the last firmware of the operating system is necessary. Check before transferring applications to the memory card, Android 4. 2 (and above) may already be installed. If not, update the operating system.

Application for moving cache

Foldermount helps move the application cache to the memory card. The fact is that cached files occupy almost the biggest place in the memory of the smartphone. When transferring in the usual way, they remain. With full deletion of the cache, you can lose a number of settings and passwords. But there is a way out. The folder with cached files can be moved to the memory card.

Use FolderMount is simple enough. It works under custom ROOT rights. To move the cache files, run FolderMount. In the "Name" string, select the name of the application. On the "Source" date, specify a folder with cache files, the path will look like this: Android / OBB / "Your folder with the name of the application" /. In the "Purpose" point, specify the folder on the SD card, in which the cache must be moved. To transfer, click the check mark icon in the upper right corner. When it becomes green, the transfer ended.

Appendix Link2SD.

Simple, colorful application with a convenient interface. Useful features of the program:

Moves any selected applications to the memory card.
The application can delete, freeze and defrost system and user applications.
The program is able to convert system applications to custom and vice versa.
Link2SD can delete data and cache applications, perform sorting, searching and filtering existing programs.

It requires root rights to use. Make sure to move applications to the memory card - "Android" above version 2.1? It is noteworthy that moving, as well as the opposite action, is performed by pressing one button. Run the program. Find the application and select it from the list. Go to the App Info tab. To move the application to the memory card, click the "Link to SD Card" button. To return "REMOVE LINK".

How to move more applications?

Not all programs can be moved. There is a small trick. It is available for self-confident users. An example is the HTC smartphone. Try and make sure yourself. Before applications, move to the memory card, install the SDK program to the computer. Then connect your smartphone to your USB cable.

In the directory where the SDK program is installed, we find the ADB file and copy it.
We go to the command line and prescribe a copied path, adding it to the command: C: \\ Android-SDK-Windows \\ Platform-Tools \\ AdB Shell.
Click "Enter", after which the $ icon should appear in the next line.
We write again: PM SetInstallLocation 2, press "ENTER".
If $ appeared in the line, then everything is in order.

Close Turn off the phone, go to the "Applications". You can see that now much more programs are available for moving.

Move applications on "Android" version below 2.1

Although the operating system itself does not support the transfer action, the way to get around this condition is. For the Nala, specify, perhaps on your device already installed a special firmware. If it is not so, transferring applications to the memory card is still possible. To do this, you will need to connect a mobile device to a computer via USB cable.

The method is available for advanced users. Those who are just begins to master the handling with a smartphone, it is better to use the help of a specialist. Rule for all users and all programs without exception: make backups of your applications! This will help save data in case of an error.

By connecting a mobile device to a computer, prepare an SD card to transfer. We launch the Minitool Partition Wizard application, which will help us break it into sections. It is important that there is no necessary information on the card. Copy all the data from it on your computer. We are going to remove existing sections, and at the same time all the information on them. For loyalty, you can format the map. After it becomes clean, proceed to the creation of the desired sections:

Section PRIMARY FAT32 - Leave more places, because all user data will be stored.
PRIMARY EXT2 - section for our applications.

Only now you can move applications. We advise you to use the Link2SD utility. Download the program. After installation, reboot. Set the EXT2 when requesting. Run the utility and start the transfer according to the instructions.

If there is no root right?

Some manufacturers install their firmware. Although you can always clarify the instructions for the device, how to move applications to the memory card, most often these smartphones cannot be used root. This is done for security, on the one hand, and on the other - to impose paid programs. Let's say directly - not everyone consider this to be a fair solution. The question arises: "How to move applications to a memory card without having an appropriate system resolution?"

Reinstall the operating system completely. The manufacturer's settings that cannot be changed will be erased. Distribution download from the official site. Reinstalling will not cost anything, but takes a lot of time. It will be necessary to use a fixed computer. All programs will have to configure again. This option for experienced users.

Bypassing restrictions. How to move applications to the memory card.

Lenovo A516 is a popular budget smartphone. The amount of memory is small - 4 GB. This is with a fairly fast processor and a bright screen. Of course, the owners have a temptation before the failure to fill in the phone's memory games. The problem is that Lenovo launcher is installed on top of the operating system. Some settings are not available. Many indicate the inability to move the application to the memory card into one click. Indeed, with its small size, this is a significant drawback. To help the owners of a wonderful smartphone invented several ways to move applications to the memory card. Lenovo delivered good protection, but there is a chance to get around the restriction.

You can use one of the applications, but they all work under root rights. Despite this, the method of transfer exists. You will have to take care of installing an additional Framaroot application. Download it and place on the SD memory card. Install the application. After starting, you will be offered a choice of rights. SuperSU and SuperUser rights will have root access. Select one of the already created users and wait for the ROOT installation notification. Restart your smartphone. Make sure that there is a SuperSU in the list of applications. If everything happened, you can perform inaccessible actions, for example, move applications to the memory card. "Android" will allow you this action.

If you like to set a large number of games and programs to your device, but the amount of smartphone memory does not allow it to do, it will simply not be able to install the applications. In this case, the best solution is to use third-party carrier.But how to transfer applications to the memory card on android manually and what will you need?

Carry using system function

So, let's begin. Of course, many have repeatedly thought that the entire transfer process is imperpustible. But you should not worry, because the procedure is quite simple and fast.

To start, click "Settings";
Next, go to the item called "Appendix";
It needs to select the desired file (game or application);
Now you need to click on it and find the "Move to SD card" tab;
If the active button, click on it. Ready.

Quite often happens that developers initially block this feature and do not allow their application to an SD card. They determine that their application works better on a standard than on an external drive, whatever data processing speed has it.

If you have not seen such an opportunity by clicking on the application, then consider that this is blocking the developer itself. Then you need third-party applications. Talk about them below.

The 2 best applications that I used and everything turned out is described below. But remember that the free version does not guarantee full performance, better support the author and then you will manage to transfer applications to an SD card.

Popular application for similar purposeswhich is used by many users. This program is completely free, and at the same time it can move games and other files quickly and without any problems on the SD card.

With the control will disaster any user. And all because the games and programs are divided into 2 large categories. In addition to transfer, you can clean the cache using this program, massively select applications and games, as well as get a notification of cleaning or changing any programs.

Another worthy tool isLINK.2 SD.. The utility can also be downloaded without any problems in free access with, set the standard way and enjoy the vacant destination on the device.

Unfortunately, the program does not work without, the interface is not very simple and deal with all the nuances and the actions will be difficult for a novice, but you will get a great functioning application manager.

Consider the advantages of Link2SD:

With ease, carry, for example, the game to the outer medium, even if its system options do not support this. Everything will be launched, as before, have no problems with launch, quality and performance.
Clean the cache, duplicate files and unnecessary applications data in two clicks.
Creates a special section on a memory card, because of which the smartphone begins to recognize it as the place of internal storage. That is why the functionality of the portable programs is not violated.
Supports a huge number of languages \u200b\u200b(more than forty, among this, of course, and Russian), which is quite a fairly rare for such programs.

How to transfer the application cache to Android memory card using Foldermount

This method is much more useful than all described above, because thanks to him only the cache of a program or a game, which is very often it takes more space on the device than the application itself.

In this case, you will need to use the FOLDERMOUNT program. But in order to use it, the "superuser" mode is needed. If you possess them - you can start.

Open the program and click on the plus image, which is located in the upper corner on the right.
See there "Name", which introduces the name of the application.
Paragraph "A source" Need to specify a folder where the cache is located. As a rule, it is located at this address - SD / Android / OBB / Name.
Folder "Purpose" Need to specify the path of moving the cache.
By filling out each item, you need to click on the tick, located on the top on the screen, and the picture of the pin, located opposite the name introduced in the first paragraph. When the transfer is over - the pin will green.

Answers to your main 3 questions about the transfer of applications

If the cache downloads when you first start the game, for example, in heavy races, how can you transfer it to the memory card?

There is no difference when it is the download of additional materials: through the APK file, simultaneously with the main game or after. Using special tools, in our case it is FolderMount, you can easily transfer the cache.

I carry the game through the system function, first everything is fine, but it is only worth restarting the smartphone or update the application, as it turns out to be on the internal memory.

Is it possible to move programs such as calendar, weather forecast, alarm clock?

If you have system versions installed when buying a phone - there is a chance that the transfer will not succeed. But if the independently downloaded from the Internet is quite worth trying.

As you can see, move the applications to the memory card are quite easy, there are many options. Successes!

Mobile gadget owners with a larger internal memory when installing utilities are forced to move them to an SD card. For beginners, this procedure may cause certain difficulties. Therefore, further we describe how to transfer an application to an external storage device with a standard way, as well as which programs from Google Play can simplify and automate this procedure.

Android has standard tools to transfer the installed utilities to the external drive. True, it is available only for those applications in which the described opportunity has been provided for by the developers. Moreover, only individual more files are moved, and a certain amount of data still remains in the gadget memory with Android. How to transfer applications to a memory card, we describe further:

If the corresponding item is not active, it means that this program is not provided for this program. Also, note that on some Chinese devices in this way the files are not transferred to an external drive, but to another half of the internal memory intended for multimedia.

Using AppMGR III utility

To transfer applications to an SD card using APPMGR III can be described in the way:

Next, the standard dispatcher window opens, where in the usual way after the tap on the "Move to the SD card" button, the corresponding action will be executed. Thus, AppMGR III acts only as an intermediary between the user and the system, facilitating the search for utilities capable of migrating to the external drive.

APMGR III has a useful feature. The fact is that some applications after sending files to an external card lose part of their functional:

Widgets can stop working;
Utilities planning certain actions after rebooting the system do not receive notification from it to the end of the download, which is why further work may be incorrect;
The accounts created by the program are stopped working until the reverse movement of files into the internal memory.

Such utilities can be moved to an external drive, but a crossed card will be depicted on their icon.

When performing this action, APPMGR III will first display the display window in which the functionality is described after the file migration.

In addition to the functions described, it is possible to hide unnecessary standard applications installed by the manufacturer, clean the cache, delete and move the selected utilities in batch mode. It is important that if the described function is not provided for by the device manufacturer, the AppMGR III will not be able to transfer by any application to the memory card, since it uses standard methods for this.

Work with the FolderMount program on the rutted devices

If you have a device with root rights, it will be useful to use the features provided by Foldermount. With it, it is possible to largely unload the internal memory by overwriting the entire cache on the external carrier. Consequently, the program works with all games most of all the internal memory of the gadget.

We describe how to transfer applications to Android memory card:

Note that the functionality of the applications does not change, and it is possible to overwrite the volume cache not only on SD, but also to any other external drive, including a USB flash drive and even HDD.

Moving the program to an external drive using Link2SD

It will also require root rights. Additionally, you have to work with a flash drive, namely, create a second primary for it (PRIMARY) section. The first must be formatted in FAT32, the second - in ext2, ext3 or ext4. If you confuse the sequence, the computer will not be able to further detect the USB flash drive.

Each transferred file will just be stored in the second section, and the first, as usual, will be reserved by the system for user data. You can create an additional partition on the drive through a computer using, for example, Minitool Partition Wizard, Paragon and other disk breakdown. Upon completion of the preparation:

We are faced with the task: transfer all the information from one memory card to another, and, while maintaining the performance of the programs installed on the card. For example, this is often needed after purchasing a new memory card of a larger volume. It seems to be a simple thing, but there are some nuances here, so consider the whole process in detail.

Preparation of memory cards

So, there is a microSD memory card on 8GB, its place should take the acquired card to 16GB. 1. The first thing to do is - format A new map of the phone. This will allow you to identify possible problems (for example, incompatibility) at an early stage. In phones on Symbian 9.2 (for example,) this is done like this: Menu -\u003e Tools -\u003e Memory -\u003e Functions -\u003e Formatyr. map.

After successful formatting, we assign the name of the memory card. The name is desirable to assign the same as the old one. Remove the card from the phone.

2. Next action - enable the display of hidden files and folders on the computer. (If such is not yet done). It is necessary so that such objects will be displayed in Explorer (and they are on the map, in particular, the folder System. is hidden), because Copy we have everything.

In Windows XP, this can be done like this: go to " Control Panel", Choose an applet" Folder properties»/ View, celebrate" Show hidden files and folders" Confirm approx.

Data transfer

3. Now we will deal directly by the transfer of files. Install the back to the old memory card to the phone. We connect the phone to the computer via USB Data cable, select the mode on the phone Data transmission (He is the "Drive"). Open B. Windows Explorer The contents of the memory card. On the computer for a while we create a folder where we will rewrite everything from the old card. Allocate all objects on the memory card and copy them to the prepared folder.

Immediately I want to note that, depending on the amount of memory card and its fill, it may take a long time, because Often, the "Drive" mode does not allow you to perform copy / write operations to the memory card at maximum speed. Accelerate the process will allow usb card reader, of course, if there is available.

In this case, the exchange of information exchange between the computer and the card will be close to the maximum permissible speed, which will allow dramatically to reduce data copying time.

4. After completing the operation, we take out the old memory card, insert a new one and in the same way copy all the contents from the folder on the computer to a new card. On the map after formatting, the folder structure was already created, the request for replacing it is responsible affirmative.

5. Install the memory card into the Nokia phone and reboot it (off / incl.).

Check. Everything should work as before.
