About Force2SD [root]
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.

Works great so far. I am using a LG with android 4.4. My phone is rooted. I've moved several apps to SD that normally wouldn't. Thank you.

No issues whatsoever thus far. Moved every single app I wanted moved. Had to pay for the full version just because of that. Thanks!

I have a rooted phone and Link to Sd does not work with my version HTC. So I payed 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..

Can't recommend. It's cheap. I bought several products. I installed a 32 Gig chip in my eMOTO. BUT almost none of the items/programs/storage will move. I bought the app to keep all my maps in a huge file, and still use the phone. That's just not working. It's just not working

OK, this is gold. I got a 32MB Class 10 UHS I SD card, and this app allows me to move many apps that can't be moved to the external SD (in some case for no apparent reason). As my card is fast, there's no speed problems, lagging. Of course not ALL apps can be moved, even when allowed to, so one gotta use this with caution ;) Thanks, guys!

Does what it says. I would give 5 stars except that the app shortcut pictures are not preserved. They appear as if they are not useable, but they still are.

This app is probably the best space making app for Android. I've used it on all versions of Android since Jelly Bean. It even works on Lollipop, which doesn't support moving apps to SD storage.

I hope others will read this. Your app will cease any and all operations in progress when screen times out, or if any part of the screen is tapped, or if the display simply ROTATES. Worse, though, is that if interrupted by such, the app being moved MUST be complety reinstalled because the data moved before the break remains incomplete on the sd & phone storage, broken up. I am not satisfied at all, and would have gladly paid another app writer with a similar program. Don't charge for this type.

I have an LGMS500 rooted. I installed this app and it moved certain apps that I downloaded that couldnt be moved to the external SD card. It will warn if an app can be safely moved. Saved me space on my phone. Providing that I have 1.2 gb. Also upgraded. Thanks.

Since the last update, refusing to move apps. Sad.
by U####:
Great idea to save up the extra memory! I may have broken it though by moving the app itself to SD. Uh oh! Update: Yep! Even after reboot. It's gone.. ???? that was fun whilst it lasted.
