[Q] External memory (memory card) usage

[jonmorris]

I've got a question regarding the RAZR i (and no doubt other Motorola models), regarding the use of the external memory (card slot) to store app data.

I've bought a 64GB memory card (at £35 including postage it was silly not to!) and it's great that I can fill it with video, music and save camera photos to it (the one app that gives me the option).

However, I've installed a shed load of apps - including things like CoPilot Live, which has very large maps. These all go on the internal 'SD Card' and, obviously, means I'm now being told that I'm running low on space - despite having almost 35GB free on the memory card.

Is there any way to move stuff to the physical memory card (mnt/external1) without rooting?

Everyone on Atrix HD wants to do this to, but they can't because they cannot root. Apps like Apps2SD require root to function.

Unlike Atrix HD, you are offered a way to root while they can never do it.
