If you need/want to move apps to SD on the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

Try Link2SD available on the Play Store

There's a thread for it here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326

Make sure to read, read, and then again read the instructions before proceeding.

moving apps

According to published info moving apps to ext SDcard in ICS is possible with Gemini App Manager 2.4.5/smile.gif

EZ moving apps to SD

The ability to move apps, folders and media files is built into GT2. Use the native My Files app to drag and drop files from internal to external sd card. Move files from the right pane into the External SD card folder in the left pane.

I've used My Files to move files and folders but would that actually work with an app? I would think the app would become unusable or would it even be seen anymore?

I have moved the apk from the data folder into the external SD card and the apps have continued to work fine. Of course some apps should not be moved, ie: those with Widgets.

Well, I'm gonna have try that out. Thanks.

I may be doing something wrong since, despite being rooted, I can't seem to get to the Root directory to access Data/App using the My Files app. Would you mind showing us the steps to do that?

With your suggestion, we have to manually move each app that we install? Kinda tedious.
If so, I'll stick to Link2SD.

Sorry, not the same thing. Moving files from int SD to Ext SD is not the same thing as Apps2SD.

The method list in the OP works for me.
