Hi, how do you move downloaded apps to an external SD card. I installed a 32GB card and cannot find a way to move apps to it like i did on my s2.
Anyone? I cant believe no one else doesnt have the same question?

I just did a search with this string "moving apps to externalSD" within the main S3 forums & I got
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=34979795
Within that search, there are a few threads on what you are looking for.
When I click on that link it brings me to a search page that says "sorry no matches"

Ok, I did that, it brings me back to this same thread????
you need to learn how to search properly. if "moving apps to externalSD" didn't get what you want, then try "moving apps to external SD" or other search strings.
Try this for moving data to external sd card for the galaxy s 3

First, you have to find the ROM files. I am sure you are wise enough in the ways of google to find them yourself.
after that, i believe you just copy them to a folder on the SD card.
As i understand it it includes a browser so you can select the file to open.
i would like to have given you first hand advice, but my bank only gives out f**king Maestro cards so i can't buy anything yet....
finally got it to work close thread please.
so now what?
Had the same issues with these. Found some ROMs got them on sd card had one work ( Bionic Commando) But when the game ended it is now a blank screen! The keypad still show (still does not work) on the screen but thats it! I tried to load another game but no luck! I got the roms from coolroms.com if that helps. I WANT THIS TO WORK!!!! Help!
I wanted to ask how people manage their storage on their A101 efficiently. I have noticed that my system storage fills up as I install new apps and I have to manually move each to internal storage to keep the A101 running smoothly. Some apps cant be moved it seems.
Is there someway of getting apps to automatically install to internal storage to make life a little easier?
If you have root (Archangel is fine) you can use Move2SD Enabler. It is available on the market. Read instructions from the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720739
as you can't move apps with widgets or system apps, as they won't work properly. It has saved me lots of space on my A70.

Thanks Darren. I haven't gone down the Root path yet. Is there an app you can use without root that will do the job?
Try App 2 SD from the market
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&feature=search_result
You can only move apps which android allows to be moved with this, but it will tell you if you can move an app when you install new ones.

go settings about phone- post your rom version. The link you posted is incomplete it does not tell me what rom you posted.
I know it most be a custom rom as you had pit enabled.
Most roms do not use pit, therefore you may have to reflash the rom again to regain the missing apk or find someone who has your rom and ask them to get you a copy of the missing files.

After I rooted it everything went fine but I don't know why I force stopped Media Store and now neither Music Player nor Gallery work, everytime I open Gallery I get "No items" although when I plug it to the PC I can see all of my pics perfectly.

will I lose my apps?
I've done the wipe data and now I have the media storage on applications but still can't see anything in gallery nor in the music player, I don't know what to do.
Try an app called Scan Media on the play store, might work..

Since you have done wipe data, you have lost all your pictures and music, any thing saved on the internal sdcard is gone. You need to reload your pictures and music if you made a back up.
Next time save them to your external sdcard so they will be there after a wipe.
So i have a few questions which i've been looking for their answers and didn't really find answers to them so i figured i'd post them here maybe i'll actually get some help
Q.1:How can i force install an app not through Market?
Q.2:How can i manually update my HTC legend to 2.2?
Q.3:How can i get the Google Play app?
Q.4hone says SD card removed, wipe data/factory reset didn't fix it, then what does fix it?
Thanks in advance! :laugh:

1-3: Flash clockworkmod onto your android and choose "Install from zip" this will allow you to manually update your phone as well as install apps. For the google play app, look for "Gaaps".

Upgrade a mounted app/game
Hi madmack,
and thanks for your work.
Just a question: when an app / game gets an updated version, I've to install it from scratch and delete the old one or foldermount finds new obb or data copied in android folder and move it automatically??
Thanks a lot, cheers.

Broken premium handling?
I have sent a bug report from the app via gmail, but I will try to be more verbose when describing the issue here, since I wrote it from a mobile phone. The issues concern premium version of this application (I could have easily write the binding script myself, but told myself what the heck, let's support the developer).
1. I have installed the free version from an account which I don't use for purchases on SG3 mini. So when I installed it through Google Play on the second device with the intention to go Premium later, it did install from this account anyway (and kept doing so), preventing me from buying the premium. This is the Play issue, but some apps let the user choose which account should be used for in-app billing. You may consider this.
2. When I paid for the premium from Xperia M, the payment succeeded and after 1-2 minutes the app became premium version. However, this did not happen on the SG3 mini, which keeps the "basic" version event after an reinstall and a hour after payment. When I try to buy the premium package ("Zakoupit premiovy balicek"), the account is the same and after clicking on Buy (Koupit) & Google Play, the Google Play gives me an error that I already own the entry (Chyba: Tuto polozku uz vlastnite) but pressing OK does not help, the premium features will not be activated and I get back to the "Buying" dialog.
Can you fix that?
EDIT: OK, one of the reviews mentions restarting the phone to get premium features in similar case. It helped, the app is now premium.
Foldermount stopped working
Today my z1 compact(kitkat) crashed and i had to use the off button near the sim slot. since then i cant mount any folders. I can still move data on sd and back but i cant mount anything. I tryed reinstalling, new folder pairs and reinstalling the sd fix. till there everything worked fine. Any Idea whats wrong?
Edit: im using 2.7 premium and the 4.4.4 Andoird with the .157 build
Can i mount the whole android/data directory as well as the whole android/obb directory onto my ext sd card, instead of individual app data or obb folders? Does it make any difference?
And another thing, what exactly do the green and white pins mean? If i leave a mounted directory's pin white, how is that bad for me?
Folder mount doesn't work anymore since lollipop update. App is shown as mounted, but app never works.. This is on my nvidia shields tablet wifi
Edit.. Got it to work.
paste data on external sd card
Why it isn't working when I paste data right in the external sd card and link folder with foldermount.
I can't paste the data on emmc (or internal sd) because I haven't enough space on it. When I touch the pin it colored green and I can see the data on the internal sd. But the game request for downloadin data from internet.
sdcard deleted and not fixed after renaming sdcard.backup
Hello sir,
I am using galaxy trend s7392.
I am usong stock rom only.
after opening the app it asked to patch system, i selected ok.
It replied patching failed. After reboot, sdcard was deleted.
As you mentioned in FAQ i deleted "sdcard" and renamed "sdcard.backup" to "sdcard".
But problem is not solved.
Pls respond to this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Do not see the android folders in foldermount
Hey all,
I'm really new to tablets and rooting. I have two Nextbook 7" that I just purchased for my kids to game on it comes with 4.4 kitkat on them. I used Kingo root to root them and made sure they got the SD fix so they could write to SD card. I did a ton of research into getting apps moved to the SD card to make room for more. I got foldermount and purchased the pro version. For whatever reason in storage/sdcard0 I don't see any sub folders. When using ES File Explorer I can see the android folder and it's sub folders of data and obb and the apps within them. In foldermount I don't see any of that. Spent quite a while trying to figure this out with no finds. Lots of internet searching didn't turn up anything for me either. I hear foldermount is the best so I'd like to get it working. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Has anyone found an easy fix for MIUI V5 (4.4.2) ?
I can mount a data folder but not an OBB folder.
Thanks a lot.
Hello.
I'm running Android 4.2.2 on an old ZTE Blade Q. I purchased the pro version of foldermount and the problem I keep running into is that I can't update my apps through play store - I get an insufficient space message each time I try to update an app.
I have most of my apps mounted on the external SD, all their pins are green and the internal SD storage status shows that 2.21 GB out of 1.3 GB is used.
What am I doing wrong here? I can't benefit from the app if I can't solve this. :/
FolderMount vs link2sd?
i have link2sd pro.. from what i have read FolderMount only allows me to move a small amount of files that link2sd supposedly cant.. i have never tried FolderMount but if it is better id be interested in learning more about it.. does it have automatic linking functions like link2sd does or is everything manual?
mount /data to sdcard0 or extsdcard
hey mate, super grateful for the folder mount! nice one..
been tinkering with mounting from /data/data to sdcard0 or extsdcard but to no avail. I am aware of the warning message when i choose /path, but is there any work around for this?
as of the reason why, i want to install this one game, but it install 1 gb data directly to the device memory, and because of my GT I9100 only has 2 gb partition for the device memory, and i don't want to lose any of my data, i don't know what to do. i even uninstalled every other app but still hasn't reach the requirement.
hope u can help! thanks!
seems like no one is answering questions here anymore? guess ill stay with link2sd.. all the automated functions would have to give it the edge in comparison.. tbh though i havent tried FolderMount but thats due to lack of questions being answered.. basing my opinion solely on experience with link2sd and what i have read about FolderMount
@BHoller, hope I got your question right.
I'm using FolderMount parallel to Link2SD. It works fine. You have to Setup, which folder has to be mounted to which other place on your device (e.g. "Whatsapp/Media" to external SD). In my case I had to create a new folder on my ext SD with a separate File explorer, because FolderMount didn't do it.
Once mounted, FolderMount puts automatically the files to ext SD and does it also automatically after every restart.

I made the jump to Kit Kat and was hoping to clear up the issue with the storage restrictions with something like this. However after reading through the. Apps thread, I had some more questions.
So the MOD on the app thread noted, in fact on the last post I read today (December 19),to come here for questions when he/she was responding to another users post.
Well I'm here and I see a lot of questions from all the posts above........ but the answers just seem to have vanished! I'm certain they are here because the developer specifically noted that one of the strong points for this app is that he wouldn't abandon us and to read over the question and answer section because it would probably answer any questions that we may have, before asking him anything.
Ohhh wait maybe he his answers are just typed in a color font that it is just blending in with the background of all the post here......... right?
I guess I will have to go search for an app that displays this "invisible" text and come back.
Thanks for the redirect MOD!
