Help Samsung Galaxy Y - Move files from Local Memory to SD

Hi All,

New Android owner of a Samsung Galaxy Y - GTS5360 :) quite impressed with the phone and android Gingerbread 2.3 (I believe), phone is non rooted at this time...

Just still getting accustomed to the phone and now just looking to find out a few things about it, but will seperate the threads for it.

How do you move ALL or MOST of everything from phone to SD card? I have ran the phone into debugging mode, and then gone to Applications - SD card and moved over a few things that could be moved. Now looking at the phone, I see that it has used something of 120MB and has about 60 free on the local phone, so looking to see how I can find all the remaining / larger files on the phone?

I have cleared the application cache to make sure that its all as clean as can be, but still not yet found how to get free more of the space.

Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
Many thanks for the reply, maybe a noob question but I have some apps like dropbox and youtube that refuse to move to sd card, would rooting fix this do you think?
 
Not to sure, but at least by partitioning part of the sd card, it will allow you more space to download more apps, and it won't matter if those apps are on the sd card or not!
 
Moved to the Galaxy Y forum so that others with this phone can learn from the tips posted here, as well.:)
 
Thanks Damewolf, apologies for the wrong location posting!

As to the SD card, I have a 6gb in there at the moment, but the phone only has 200 mb of internal storage, but some apps will just refuse to move, and I just dont know what to do with them...
 
Thank you all for your advice so far, I have just taken a look at the "all things root" sticky thread, and I wonder a few things...

1) how do I take a ROM image of my own phone right now, without downloading someone elses?
2) it seems you need to root, before you can install the rom manager, in which case I ask question 1 again?
3) if you root your phone, things get a little crazy, and you need to return your phone to samsung, can you then flash your original root to the phone and still have the warranty honoured?
4) what warranty is obliterated by means of rooting the phone?

Thanks :)
