Description
This app needs a rooted device that supports moving apps to SD. Use at your own risk.
Download the free lite version to make sure it works on your device. (It may not work on Lollipop!)
Save precious application storage! Force2SD lets you force many apps to move to SD card/external storage even when the system would not allow you to move them, thereby saving space in the app storage area. While Android as of version 2.2 introduced the feature that lets you move apps to SD card/external storage, it normally only allows the movement of applications explicitly marked by the developer as movable. Force2SD moves many applications not marked as movable.
You can also move applications back, and sort alphabetically or by apk size.
By default (you can turn this off) Force2SD will also scan for orphan app files on your SD card when starting. (Not yet working on Lollipop.)Sometimes, the system fails to delete the app file on the SD card when the app is uninstalled. If any orphan files are found, you will be asked if you want to delete them. This may help with some reboot issues.
Note 1: Applications moved to SD card / external storage will not get an on-boot signal when the device is booted up. So, do not move applications that need to perform some operations on boot. Of course, you should always be able to move these applications back if you're having problems.
As a bonus, if you don't want an application starting up on boot, you can use Force2SD to move it.
Note 2: After a reboot, it make take a while (even a couple of minutes) for the OS to show up the icons of apps that have been moved. That is normal--that's how the OS's apps-on-SD feature works.
Note 3: Some protected apps cannot move.
Note 4: The first time you start the app, it will do a slower scan of applications.
Recent changes: - Bug fixes - Scan for orphan files on SD card (not for Lollipop) - List unmovable apps as well (at least you can long-tap on them and uninstall them conveniently) - Fast scroller

Best .99¢ I've ever spent on the Market If you have too many apps and too little space (or the funds to purchase one of the high-end devices that have it all 😥) this app will be a worthwhile investment for any rooted Android. Definitely one of the 5 top reasons I root my devices as soon as possible. Get it. Now. Or gtfo. 😒 seriously though. Leave me tf alone, simpleton. You should be buying this app and not flapping your yap 😐

Works great! This app does a better job than the native Android Apps Manager (I'm on KitKat). My Note 3 was able to save over 300 MB with my top 5 apps (using the Lite version), and I bought the Full version to support the developer and to move even more apps to my SD card. It can't move everything because some apps are protected, but again, it moves more than the native app. My moved apps still work great. Thank you !

Goes to Internal Sd Not External Sd I have a rooted phone and Link to Sd does not work with my version HTC. So I paid for this app under the impression it moved data and files to ext. Sd card. So if my 2gb app moves to sd 1.99gb stays on internal and. 01 moves to sd? Or these apps just move the whole 2gb from Internal Storage to Internal Sd Card NOT External Sd. LINKTOSD is the only app I know that does this. I was deceived... Once again. There goes another $1.

Useless All it says is unsuccessful every time I try to move an app, and it even won't move the non-restricted ones
