You have to download link2sd and go to settings and set install location to external. It works just like adb shell

Download and install titanium backup pro from anywhere you like. Open the program and click on the options button of your phone and click on batch. You'll see a number of operations followed by a run button after each one. Scroll down and you'll see "move all user apps to SD card", click on run and you are done

Without partitioning the SD card, you will always have part of the apps on internal. With partitioning the SD card, you can move the entire apps to SD card.
I just went to gplay (marketplace) and got app2sd. Whether the phone is rooted or not you should be able to move the apps to the sdcard-ext, as long as there is enough room.

Yeah it helps in moving some apps to sd but it doesnt allows you to move all the app to sd. you may need to root you phone in order to move all apps to sd. when i used to use app2sd when i just started using android i used to have around 40 mb internal memory free inspite of moving all the apps that were possible to move on an unrooted phone to sd. I was then inspired to root my phone when i saw its possibilities

How can i make an ext part on my SDcard ???
I am using link2sd and it works like a charm. I have not partitioned my sd card.
TRY THIS
If u have lucky patcher installed on ur device, the version should be 3.9.3, first of all, move ur app or game's data (the very known com.xyz.xxxxx folder) to extsd/android/data or obb by using filemanager , now create that folder with a same name in sdcard or internal sd/android/data or obb/here, which would be like com.xyz.xxxxxx, open lucky patcher v3.9.3 goto toolbox tap directory binder, remember it will not bind the whole sdcard or internal sd , it will work only for particular directory (folder), so no need to worry, now tap on add new directory bind, no tap browse the 1st one, and show it to the path of that extsd/android/data/com.xyz.xxxx folder after that select current directory, now go for browse the 2nd one, goto the internal path should be like sdcard/android/data or obb/com.xyz.xxxx select current directory, now tap on bind directory. thats it, it will save ur sdcrd space. u can check it by setting then storage, i successfully did it in my funbook infinity having 1.5gb internal space available, plays the amazing Spider-Man2 , the dark knight rises, and dead trigger.
I have a rooted but otherwise stock Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (SM-T705) and I have a 128GB Sandisk SD card. Is it possible to move all apps (with all their contents) to the SD card? I read that even though my device is rooted, I will need to partition my SD card first before i can move all apps (with all their contents) to the SD card? Can someone please tell me how to partition my SD card? Also, if I move all apps with all their contents to SD card, would the running of such apps encounter any problems (as part of them are supposed to be in the device internal memory?)
I tried Link2 SD and Titanium Backup Pro but I could not see any such function (only native Android app2sd).
Thank you very much in advance.

please delete all hidden folders on the sd card (they start with ".foldername")
of course make backup before.
you might need to redownload some apps then.
This is caused if you had apps in a previous version moved to sd.
how do i delete them if they are hidden???
thank you
The file explorer on the rom shows them or use root explorer. Or in windows set show all files (google how to show hidden folder on windows)

I am still gettin the same message that i dont have enough space on sd.
Should i format my sdcard?
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
First i would suggest to deinstall the apps which are already on sd. Then format sd card (make sure to only have 1 partition).
Then download from market and reinstall the apps. Then move to sd.
This is how i managed it.
(you can goto settings,applications,application administration and click on the sd tab and deinstall apps)

You can't just move files/dirs like that. You have to set up symlinks too.
If you don't know how to do that, it might be best if you don't mess around anymore.

isnt there a way i can get the data to automatically save on to my internal storage space?
which rom you use?
In CM (and CM based) roms you can change the storages so that you will be able to use the internal storage as the app storage. notice that it will change the storage settings for all the other apps (For example, the camera storage location will be in the internal instead of the SD card)

Hi
Someone plz tell me how to move fb and whatsapp in SDcard. From Manage Application Move to SDcard option is disabled also in App2SD unable to transfer it.
Is it possible????It consumes a lot of space....
For moving apps those do not support to move in SD by default, you need root access on your device & then use any app such as "DroidSail Super App2SD" to move them forcefully to SD card.

Moving facebook on sd card every time you open it, it will erase the data and you will have to repeat the account access.
If you have rooted device, you can use titanium backup to move them to SD.
The app has been moved to SD card, but i am not sure about data stored by these apps.
Data was still in phone memory, i guess.

I reply here because I spent a lot of time searching through very old posts and trying outdated methods. I didn't know that actually today there is a very easy solution to move whatsapp media folder to SD card. It perfectly worked on my Samsung Galaxy A3 A320FL:
1) Root (I used twrp + magisk method)
2) Download "App2SD" (the original by Vicky Bonick; it's free) and follow instructions on how to create partitions
3) Use "folder mount (app analyzer)" feature, which apparently was not considered in the old posts in this forum, so I suppose it was recently added to Apps2SD.
It's like folder mount, but it's pre-set for some common apps, including Whatsapp. With this feature, you can successfully move Whatsapp media folder to SD, in one clic.
In my case everything worked fine. When I reboot I have to re-mount folder, but it takes one second (just open Apps2SD, tap Folder Mount, slide "whatsapp other").
I need a little help i have a problem with Link2SD. I assign 500 mb to ext2 partition, and i have all my apps in the sd card, playstore, facebook and 2 others are linked. Well my problem is that, i have a notification for less space in internal storage :/ when i trying to install some new games ( well i have like 5 games installed already on the sd)... So why i have just 19% free space in internal storage if i have all my apps in sd? PD : see the image and sorry my bad english

I've been having a similar problem to the OP. Am I right in thinking you move ALL applications to internal storage, even the ones that install to SD card by default and then link them?
I guess there's a problem with your rom or kernel. Who knows

But is this the way to do it? Make sure user apps are are on PHONE before linking?
I'm using LinkSD and it saves me a lot of space in /data.
The way it works :
When installed, an app has three or four parts : the .apk file, the .dex file (in a deodexed ROM), the data folder and, eventually, one or more .so in /data/data/app_folder/lib
- If the app is in internal storage, every parts of it are in /data : .apk in /data/app, .dex in /data/dalvik-cache, data folder and libs in /data/data/name_of_the_app folder
- When the application is moved to sd Card, the .apk file is moved in /mnt/asec/, but the .dex and the data folder remains in internal storage (some applications may also have data in SD Card)
- When the application is linked, the .app, the .dex and the .so files are moved to /data/sdext2 (which is the place where the 2nd partition of the SD Card is mounted), only the data folder (without libs) remains in /data/data (internal storage).
So, the best way to save place in internal storage is to link user applications (no need to move it to internal storage first, it also works when the application is in SD Card).
All my 50 user apps are linked, and I still have 85 Mb free in /data.
Here is a way to link folders from external sd to internal.
This is usefully for stock ROMs which have sd card emulation enabled
With this trick you can for example link Download folder from external sd and all downloads will go to external sd automatically.
Or for example you can link Android/obb folder if you have large games.
This should also work for non rooted phones(I think)
Steps:
1. Pick folder on you external sd which you want to link to internal sd.
2. Now create folder with same name in you internal sd. Its fine if it already exists
3. Download and install Android Tuner(free version will not work, sorry)
4. Open System Mgr >> SD
5. Now click on "New link"
6. Select folder you created in step 2
7. You might get a warning dialog saying that this link might not work, just ignore it.
This is tested on stock Rom Android 4.1.2. It may not work on other Android versions
8. Now select parent directory of a folder you selected in step 6.
For example if you are linking folder Android/obb, first you would select folder in internal sd
Code:
/storage/sdcard0/Android/obb
And then his paren in external SD
Code:
/storage/sdcard0/Android
9. That's all. To test just open folder you linked from internal sd and you'll see content of external sd folder.
I have Asphalt Airborn and Dungeon Hunter 4 installed and working (more than 2GB of sd data)
Enjoy

Did you use the free version, or the pro version? What phone model (P760/765/768/769) and what ROM?
You can also use Folder Mount app which works much better.

Good show friend it's working fine, as you know I was looking for some good app to move obb files to sd card but this one is absolutely brilliant
Can you tell me one thing that whether I have to move my obb files to sd card in such a way or i can paste obb directly to external sd?
Sent from my LG-P765 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hi,
This is working great for me
Although "ROOT IS NECESSARY" because the "New Link" does not appear unless you have root enabled in Android Tuner
Works with the Free version of the app also as far as the device is rooted
Thanks,

Hi,
I've tried other method using a script, but I think it just renaming the InternalSD to ExternalSD (and vice-versa), and 'fool' the phone. The actual downloaded files/games still go to the real Internal SD (the phone's 4GB). Even though I have 11GB free space on ExternalSD, I can't even download a 40MB game.
I haven't tried your method above but tell me, after I do those steps, will I be able to download large apps/games directly to (linked) ExternalSD? Any games? Even those without .obb files?

It does not, as Folder Mount does not allow to link a whole content of obb directory (just specific folders inside). The Android Tuner however seems to be working fine, Thanks a lot!
EDIT: However, still can't download Modern Combat 4, as phone reports about 1 GB of free storage (the actual, linked storage is much larger, but I don't know how to "make" phone think it is).
EDIT2: OK, I took leap of faith and linked ALL content of sdcard0 to externalSD (sdcard0 is located on ExternalSD/sdcard0) and, well, it worked - it made think the phone that externalSD is sdcard0, effectively switching internal and external SD (I have 16 GB external microsd and now phone reports it has about 15 GB of free INTERNAL storage).
Hope it lasts.
