i just bought a 32gb sandisk sdhc card for my phone (dont know class didnt say) well i am safe strapped but limited on space i have deleted most apps that i dont use still gotta delete stock bloat on my stock rom, (but i havent found a rom i like so i dont mess with stock)

now that the background story is done, i want to be able to have all my apps on my sd card, i know you can put some apps on the sd card, but i want them all on so i can get the most space. i think if i was able to get the apk files, and keep them under a folder on my sd card, then i dont have to have the same apps for different roms.

here is my rom i think i flashed late last night http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43567712#post43567712 (best custom rom i like that allows more features)

edit i havent updated my sig so i am not running death stalker any more.

Last I heard one of the last Jelly Bean updates put the kibosh on putting apps on your sd card the s4 (At least most of them) This could have changed of course as it was 3-4 months ago I read that somewhere.
Have you tried Apps2SD, avail in the Play Store?
Good luck!

i didnt think to check the play store but i used rom tool box pro. it has an apps to sd card feature, but funny thing i am not sure if it worked.

i thought 4.2.2 supported that?
 
The thing is, it doesn't matter what handset or Rom are u using, there are only some apps that runs on SD. Not all apps supports installation on SD. Some needed to be on phone system memory to work properly such as whatsapp, CM10 Themes etc. These apps runs continuously and if they install on SD card then many problems will be created as SD card takes a while to initiate while system memory can initiate with OS boot.
Games, apps without primary hardware requirements can be installed in SD.
 
This could be some insightful reading, and I would read thoroughly before blindly trying anything. I haven't, just thought it could be useful info for you. Pulled from the Sprint Forum, didn't appear to me to be carrier specific but I havent tried it, just saw it was an active detailed thread.
