How to move application to SD card in samsung galaxy s duos How to move application to SD card in samsung galaxy s duos.

I have tried some application from Google Play but did not succeed.

Plz help me
According to our tag wiki, the Duos comes with Android 4.x -- which natively supports to move apps to SD:

Settings&rarr;Apps&rarr;Manage Apps, sroll to the app you want to move, tapp the "Move to SDCard" button.

If the button is grayed out, the app does not support being moved to SDCard. See Unable to move few Apps to SD Card for details on that.

Questions (and their answers) you might want to check for further details:


How to install APK files on SDCARD?
Other than portability, are there any other advantages (or disadvantages) to storing apps on external storage?
Can I force move to sd card applications that don't want to be moved there?




EDIT: Googling around revealed several technical reviews stating that app2sd is not working on the Duos. Only known working solutions include either rooting the device, or using the Android SDK, see e.g. How to move almost all Android apps to SD card (no root required): here a comment reports to have successfully accomplished the task using a terminal emulator instead of the SDK. Putting things together, a How-To could basically look like this:


install a terminal app from the playstore (e.g. Android Terminal Emulator)
start the app
enter pm set-install-location 2, followed by the Enter key (if that throws an error other than "permission denied", try pm setInstallLocation 2 instead. In case of a "permission denied", you would need to root the device)


To my knowledge, this would only set the default installation target to the SDCard, but not move any apps itself. The howto there further describes one could then move apps manually. I have not tried this (I don't want to move things to SD), and so cannot confirm anything -- but it might be worth a try.

And again, the comments there are not all clear. While one claimed success, another user writes:


  I can confirm this procedure cannot be done for Samsung S Duos.
  Even checked with Samsung Customer Care and they confirmed that Android 4.0x will not support movement of apps from the phone memory to External SD.


Same is, btw., claimed by LG support (something like "not our fault, blame Google"). But as other users say they can use app2sd fine on their 4.x devices, I cannot believe that it is ICS's fault, as the options are still shown fine even on my 4.1.x devices.
