I am still pretty new to Android.

After doing the fstab kludge, I used AppMgr III to move many apps to the 32GB external card.
As I recall, at the time my 4GB internal was getting pretty full and the tablet was getting very pokey. I assume that it was the equiv of having my Linux system run low on swap space.

Agree that there some apps that cannot be moved, but I did move a large number of them. I just tried Google Chrome and it worked, but as you say other Google Apps like Maps cannot be moved.

Not sure what apps are currently installed on the external card - I have all the original apps that came with the tablet plus Andropen ANdSMB Boatwatch Cardstar Calendar Diskusage Brother iPrint IPWebcam Netfix Shazaam Skype some Weather Apps TV Guide and a couple of apps from radio & TV stations ES File Explorer. Many of these have been moved to the external.

Of course, I must now keep the external card installed pretty much at all times if I intend to run my apps.

I show Internal Storage 868Mb used and 313Mb free.

How do I check to see what System Memory I have used/free ??
