PLEASE HELP! How to move app data?! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have run out of 'USB storage' however I have a 32gb external sd which is going to waste because I am unable to move all the data from apps that mount to many gigabytes
Please tell me there's a way to move the data ?! Thanks
Also I'd obviously like to be able to play the game/app while it's in my external sd

Sure it's possible, search for "App 2 SD" program in play store.

I'm sure that only moves the app, not the data required to play the game such as nova 3 has 1.7gb data to download after you've installed the app

can anybody help with this.........

For Gameloft games have a look at this app and thread. You can also use androids built in 'Move to SD' option if you go to Settings - Applications - Desired Game.

Yeah, I use GL to SD and have moved 12gb of game data to my external SD card. Works great.
Install the app, hit menu and select move data. Select the app you want data moves for and run it. Then you can just run the game from the app or hit mount in the app, then menu and select exit and open the app from your home or app screens.

for the moment not possible! Maybe in the future someone will make a rom who supports that
Gl to sd card only moves files. Apps will not work later. For example, I moved Max Payne to external sd card, and then when I launched the game, it asked to download missing files. What we need over here is an app that will automatically rout to sd card when clicked.
I tried App2SD, Link2SD and GLtoSD and none worked except for breaking Google Play, the only solution i found was Directory Bind.

Thanks, will give it a try. Weird thing, i've spent like an hour trying to figure out why can't move apps to sd...
Well Directory Bind can't move Apps it only moves folders, so you can move all the SD data and some of the folders containing the Apps but when you move it you have to leave the original folder on internal memory because it makes it impossible to delete, so you just have to delete the contents.
Anyone tried "super mount".app made by lidroid
Would this work?
I opened the script file using notepad, would you just change where it says "external_sd" to "extSdCard" and it would bind the folder and allow games to access the data from the external SD?
Just asking because I'm not sure if this would work on the S3...

Insufficient Storage

Hello, I am getting an error for insufficient storage when I try to install some apps. I know how to fix this (by deleting apps obviously)...however I'm just not sure what is taking the space.
When I open up the storage section it says:
Apps - 1.5GB
Other - 4.5GB
I have NO idea what is using this Other space. Is it just cache? I can't click on the other section to see what is taking the space. Anyone know how I can figure this out?
Thanks!

you could try to wipe the cache partition from recovery. might also try to do a google checkin (dial *#*#2432546#*#*)

I had this problem too. This happens because when you install apps from the play store most of the time it gets put into the internal storage which is small in comparison to the phone storage (internal sdcard). So to fix the problem go to settings then apps. The apps under "downloaded" is what's in the internal storage so what I do is I go through each app that is 10 mb and higher and move them to phone storage (internal sd card). This should fix it .

Go into titanium backup and restore apps.

There sure is. Never knew that.
None of that works. no matter what. If I move it to phone storage, the app is still in the internal phone storage. Why in hell would they partition a drive and all the apps go to internal phone storage by default and no matter if you move it or NOT the app is still taking space in the internal phone storage. and NOT all apps will move. So how do we make it so that all apps download to phone storage by default?

Use Foldermount app from the Play store. The instructions are in the app's description.

It should work if your phone is rooted. There is no other way to move data at the moment. I also have NFS and Asphalt 7 and they work fine with the data moved to the external SD card. Here's a video how to use it.
I tried folder mount, it works but beware if you have an exfat formatted (if you format with the mega) sd card as it may be prone to corruption. I have now formatted it to fat32, and it seems more stable

I don't quite understand what you're saying. I just used folder mount to scan then automatically create the pairs.

They work just moved the game such as NFS, etc. but I can not move a lot of programs that take up space. FolderMount sees it as 0 bytes. I also tried to do a Titanium backup but it does not work. Do you have any ideas?

Do a manual move by tapping + on the upper part of the app, give it a name and manually look for the source folder in the internal memory. The app will automatically generate a destination folder then tap the check symbol on top. You can do this with any app as long as you know where the data is located on the internal storage.

well I'll try to do that! Unfortunately I can not find all the places where applications are installed to move them. I will continue to try to.
Moving the application found on the SD card, but you can not see it in the program, either as a couple or as an application. You can only see these in pairs! What I'm doing wrong

You can use a file explorer to see what folders are inside the internal storage. They are usually named appropriately e.g. Copilot app has a folder named com.alk.copilot.eumarket.primeumeupan in the internal storage and has all the data inside. Some apps are small so you won't find any folder for them as they are not required.

How do you install a large app/game on the SD card?

I have the LG L70 running KitKat and this is the closest forum to ask this. So I get 1,5GB free storage space, and while I can move an app to the SD card after install, incl. the main app of Real Racing 3, but when I run it and it tries to download the 1722MB data package, it obviously says not enough space on the device internal storage. Which is true, but I have the darn SD card inside, how do I get the phone to download the data there?

I think that you have choose to download data in sd card in the game or have you selected install in external storage option in settings.
hit thanks if i helped.

I don't see such an option. This could be a KitKat restriction, as I can't move say Type:rider to the SD, although I can move Speedtest for example. A silly thing (from Google) if there is no way, I have all the storage on my SD, but can't use it for large apps?

You need root access. First root ur device and install the "foldermount" app. Its an app that binds your obb or android data folder to your external sd. That's the only reason I'm rooted. The application won't ever brick your device. It free on playstore (u can purchase the premium version to support the developer and get extra features)
