I remember i read somewhere that you can put data files on internal memory or SD Card. Basically you have 2 /Android/data folders, so i think it's possible.
But I'm askin' about EXTERNAL SD.: I mean that card with memory which you place in the phone yourself. It can be Kingston, for example.

Some fails wasn't copied, fixed that and now it wants to download addional fails from internet, but i have them in my external sd card. Any ideas how to make it work?
I try it out, and everythink is fine.
I put datas at SD-Card. The game is still working :good:
Of course 700Mb is too much for internal card.
directorybind
use directorybind, i know what your talking about moving that 1gb worth of game data to external sd card right? then this is the perfect app for you search for it on xda: directorybind

Usually I hook up my phone to my computer. Under "My computer" it should have your cdrive and your phone. mine shows up "SGH-i717" and under that is my "card" and "phone" you can just move over pictures and movies from the phone to card. that should make some room for your phone. if this helped hit that thanks button
i know what u saying but i dont have any movies on phone. i only have games
If I understand your question then go to system settings, manage apps then click on the app and select move to Sd card.

Same way with a few phones. The external SD is for media and such while internal is for apps and such. No real fix, but you can get titanium backup and backup all of them to your external, then uninstall the ones you're not using. Restore then when you want to use them. That's what I end up doing

We would need something like this

Quote from the thread of what that does (I would actually like something like this for Note as my internal SD is practically full)
mattiadj said:
You have misunderstood something . The situation is simple. Transformer has a 16gb internal sd (in my case, I have 16gb version) and so this internal sd card of 16gb is used to store all my data! For apps in /data, apps storage in /sdcard/android/data and so on.
So if I install for example games like front line commando, gta 3, or gameloft games, shadowgun or something which needs extra resources to download, these apps download what they need into internal sd. And so the space in internal sd (which is the internal memory of tablet) became full quickly!! Why? Because the internal sd is viewed as sdcard and mounted in /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard and so is used as normal sd by apps! So transformer has a sdcard which is used both for apps installation and data storage!!! No nand or real internal memory!
External sd is used for nothing!!!
So why my script? This script is essential to fix this stupid behaviour!!
Your internal sd card is mounted to store all apps you wants and apps install on it only their apk files and necessary data. On external they stored all extra data resources and all they need!!!! On external! And internal is untouched!
So android info see this new situation in inverted way since in our transformer (and i think this is a big issue of Asus) what is mounted in /sdcard is considered as INTERNAL MEMORY and what is mounted in /Removable/MicroSD is viewed as EXTERNAL MEMORY.
Since this mod inverts mount point... The information in memory tab is inverted!
Let's now with an example.
If you install shadowgun game without my mod, it installs in you internal both game package (in /data) and 250mb of resource in /sdcard/Android/data/gamefolder.
So you have 300mb less in your INTERNAL SD!!
With my mod simply the 250 of extra resources are downloaded in you external sd!!! So you have 250mb save on internal sd to install other apps!!!!
I hope is all more clear now and is better understood how this mod is important!

Wait, to the OP:
Did you format the new SD card, then power the phone off, remove the card, pop it back in and then power up again?
If you don't format the card initially, the phone won't recognize it at all.
If that's not what you were getting at initially, then ignore this post.

Did we make any progress on this situation? Has anyone found a way to move apps to the external sd card. And let me point out to the few that have posted in this thread. When you move apps to the sd card through app manger or apps to sd they only move to the internal sd card.
I'd really like a fix for this as well. My 16GB MicroSD is going unused because of it. I don't store movies or music on my phone, I stream all that. But all the Internal SD memory is full because nothing recognizes that there's more than one "SD" storage space.
GET the free app called GLtoextSD or something like that name search on play store it i'll help you.(it requires root)

Hi,
As u can see in the title, I own a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 I8160L.
It has 4gb internal storage but only about 1.1gb user available. Most of the more exciting games have data that are 1.5gb and more.
Is there a way to install these games and have the sd data go to my external micro sd card and not the internal 1.1gb 'sd card'?
Thanks in advance, Nate
Are you root? Because you could try Directory Bind
Im not rooted as yet. And im not familiar with directory bind. Will look it up tho.

Yeah, I am also looking for some root free method to swap sd card and external card in my galaxy ace 2.
I dont really know why in samsung phones our external sd card is nt treated as an sd card.
I had htc one v prior to this phone and atleast one good thing abt that phone was it would move apps to external sd card not to internal storage like samsung phones.
Now with this phone (galaxy ace 2), external sd card size is quite irrelevant for apps, coz this phone counts the internal usb storage which is only 1GB as sd card.
Anyways if u find any root free method to swap storage, plz post it here too.
Thanks.

But I donot want to root my phone :-$
I am not expert at it, so dont want to take the risk. Plus this phone has a little community, so in case if something goes wrong with rooting, it might become difficult to find help...

Thanks for the link.
Did u try it? Does it move the app to external card? Or to the usb/internal storage?
And i think (not sure) as far as app data is concerned, it does not take too much of storage, so it shd not be an issue.
And i m not an expert in rooting, so i think i wont go for it. But lets see.
Sent from my GT-I8160 using xda app-developers app
Yea it works for most apps. And if not. When u move them to the sd card thru the app manager they move to the external storage. This doesn't apply to system apps or the large sd data files that accompany those huge games that need additional data.
Sent from my GT-I8160L using Tapatalk 2
Okay right.
Actually the problem is when we go to settings-apps-sd card, it shows the usb/internal storage there, not the actual external sd card. So when i move any app to sd card (which is moveable), it is moves to the internal usb storage (which the phone considers as sd card storage).
But i ll give this trick a try.
And one last thing how did u confirm it that with this trick, apps are now being moved to external storage and not to the internal usb storage?

Checked the storage before and after moving apps. And also i took my sd card out. Put it in a card reader and found the apps in a folder on the micro sd card called android secure

Solution to this is rooting, and using directory bind. I currently have asphalt 7(1.4gb) Real racing 2, Dead Space, Shadow Gun etc installed and running fine from my external sd card
GB
Jellycream rom will sort that out, it swaps the vold file and you will be able to download bigger files.
can i?
can i play games form external sd card like games 1.8 and .15 gb ?

Hello )
I have a rooted ICS samsung note, i installed the NFS Most Wanted game, after launching the game, he tries to download 1,96 GB of data and (of course) can't find enough space on my internal memory of my internal SD card
i already have a second SD card installed on my Note (with 25 GB free space on it), how can i manage to get the NFS game to download data on that external SD rather than the internal one?
thanks a lot!! )

Get a program like app2sd pro or apptoSd.
Did you managed to make it work? You can try an app that is called GLtoSD.It allows you to move big gaming data to your external SD card. Root is required.

There is an app here on xda called directory binder which is perfect in everyway for this. Create a file on the ext sd preferably same name as original then bind the two files with directory binder theres even an option that while binding it will transfer the files as well. When it's done you can press the file on your internal sd but it's actually on your external it's like shortcuts for android. Ive got many HUGE games 1gb and up on my 64gb external sd.

Make sure your external sd is a high class mines above class 4 so it's actually faster than my internal sd and plays games without lag.

Can i make something like partition on internal storage? i have i9300 16GB internal and it woyld me nice to make 2-3 partition like C, D, E for games, apps, photo. Or game and apps, photo, rest and maybe protect before changing roms. I liek to change roms but its so bored installing all the times the same apps.
Also i want to buy mini sd card but waiting for answer bcs i dont know what to buy and ill install every apps and game on sd card so before change rom ill still have on sd card.
Don't mess with the internal storage, it isn't an sd card and you'll hard brick the phone.
Put everything on your external sd, leave the internal as empty as possible -this will reduce wear on the nand memory.

When changing roms you still would have to reinstall all games, nevermind if on internal or external sd. Just use Titanium Backup to make it easy and as said don't touch internal memory!

I don't think so as the base app or at least some parts is still installed in internal memory whereas e. G. Save games you could copy to external and copy back later if you can find the files.
