Moving Some Apps To SD
Now one of the best tools to use with your rooted phone is this app that moves some of your apps from the phone memory to your sd card memory it is called GL to SD(root) by tnslf2k **this app can move some applications not all** as you know android 4.x is troubling with this.
Why Can't I Move All Apps to the External SD Card?
Android OS Allows transferring apps to Primary External Storage that is not emulated.
In the case of LG Optimus L9 the Primary External Storage IS emulated, and the sd card you place inside is consider Secondary External Storage.
Beside Moving Apps What Can I Do?
There is a new app that will switch the storage ID and therefor switch the storage device. the app is called
Root External 2 Internal SD
once you download it (& you're rooted) you will be able to switch them, make sure you change the camera setting to make the default storage the internal.
