Guest gwladys Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Good question. I don't see any Settings options to move apks between internal and external storage like there are on my phone. Apps I've written with android:installLocation="preferExternal" option appear to go to internal storage. Possible bug I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyrider Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Hmm, probably needs a new Rom. I'm happy it's rooted, but have never liked running in new Roms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hippy dave Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Have you tried the Link2SD app from the Play store? I've used it on my phone, but not the Hudl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PsYcHoKiLLa Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) App Manager III (Formerly App2SD) is my favourite. Edited October 12, 2013 by PsYcHoKiLLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyrider Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 'Tis mine too, but the Hudl, apparantly, "emulates" SD storage so none of the apps work. Needs a hackaround or a modified Rom. Patience, grrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyrider Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Further to this, I've found the "pm" commands to run in Terminal Emulator as; "pm set-install-location 2" - without the quote marks But....it then gets a "killed" message. The options are [auto] - let the system decide [0] system storage - something like that, I'm Hudlless at the moment and [1] emulated SD - which is what we have [2] external SD - which is what we want Anyone with a clue where to go to force the switch to location 2?

Guest greyrider Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Think I've got it, anyone able to try? "su" "pm set-install-location 2" Any installed apps won't move, but any newly run in ones should go direct to the physical, external, SD card Edit: Nope, doesn't work. You can change the move location in App2SD as /mnt/sdcard and "pm get...." shows the external as chosen storage, but it doesn't work. Poo. Nothing to see here, move along please.

Guest kurtisuk Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 As greyrider stated the Huld is running the external SD as emulated the same as my Galaxy S4, the only app that will allow you to store apps on the external sd is called an app called FolderMount (which is a paid app, and also requires root). The app works well and is allows you to select the apps you want to save onto SD from a list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyrider Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 There's a free version as well. Um...any hints on how to use it? Must have my stupid head on today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kurtisuk Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 There's a free version as well. Um...any hints on how to use it? Must have my stupid head on today Open FolderMount and then tap on 'List of pairs' in the top left and then 'Apps analyzer' then tap on the app you want to move, and then tap on 'Create pair' then press yes to the popup box and then the tick. You app should now be moving on to the SD card which would take take depending on the size of the app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You app should now be moving on to the SD card which would take take depending on the size of the app I (well my wife actually) bought a Hudl for each of our sons. I've rooted one and installed superuser. Granted permission etc. I've also installed FolderMount granted it permission ect but when trying to "list pairs" and " create pairs" nothing is created. Would this be down to me moving files from the device to the SD card with the Hudl connected via USB to my computer? ( I've bought new 32gb SanDisk SD cards that are premium speed for using with tablets etc) Edited December 27, 2013 by Andy Gee-Cee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
