Make a folder on the extsd card having the same name as on you sd.... for example.. make a folder named android and then a folder named data inside it..and then a subfolder corresponding to the name you wana transfer
For example... if you want to put modern combat, place a folder called com.android.GAND.GloftM3SS inside extsd android/data ... then choose the default path and target so that the names are the same..it should look like this
And then do it

The target directory should be "/mnt/sdcard/" instead of "/sdcard/".
Also maybe it's better to bind specific directories in sdcard with specific directories in extSdCard, eg "/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.gameloft.android.SAMSUNG.GloftA7SS/" with say "/mnt/extSdCard/GameData/A7/", instead of binding the entire sdcard "/mnt/sdcard" with the entire extSdCard "/mnt/extSdCard/".

Links2sd worked for me make two primary fat32 partitions on the sd card then uses Links2sd to just link them mate Job done

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

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.

Install games on your Ext_Sd Card

I've found that a lot of people is upset about the impossibility of install your games or apps on the external SD Card, you have 32gb and you cant used them... it's a shame...:crying::crying::crying::crying:
BUT :victory: After losing my whole day on testing and research I wanted to share a simple way (Not the only one) to move the data of your games or apps from the Internal Sd to the (Real) Sd Card
I'll try to keep it simple: (You need to root your phone)
I'll do it for Need For Speed Most Wanted

Click to collapse
But If you want you can move the whole Data folder
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Install your game (or app)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Run the game
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Wait for the game to download the data and play it just once (Just to know that it works :silly
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Install this amazing tool by slig
DirectoryBind
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
Thanks dude
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Open DirectoryBind
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Open the menu
Menu button on your phone genius
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Select "Add new entry"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. On "Enter Source" You put the folder of the External Sd Card that you want to use
(For example - a new folder on my sd card named "mnt\ext_card\My apps data\Android\data\com.ea.games.nfs13_na")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.On "Target Path You put the original folder where the data is
(For example -"mnt\sdcard\Android\data\com.ea.games.nfs13_na")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Check "Transfer files from target to data"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. Wait for the app to finish the process THIS CUT THE DATA FROM THE INTERNAL SD AND PASTE IT ON THE EXTERNAL SD CARD :good:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Now everything should be ok and you just have to check that the little icon on the left of the link is GREEN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Open your game
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14. PLAY!!!!!!!!
Dont forget to say thanks

For the DCIM ( The camera images ) There's the option inside the camera app to chose the internal sd or the external sd ... However... YEAP :good: It works for other folders.
I suggest you to take a lot at the original threat in order to know more.

so is that directory bind can automatically do that or manually like we are copy paste?
Directory bind will move the contents of any folder on /sdcard and move it to any folder on /extSdCard then bind them. This means when you go into original location, you see files still but are actually in new location

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

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.

Save Your Internal Storage. Move apps to you external SD card with Folder Mount

Hi guys,
Just want to share this unique app because directory bind doesn't work on 4.3 roms. As an alternative i found this app so useful. kindly check this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192122.
Also after installing the Folder Mount, In your external sd card create a duplicate android folder (which is located in the internal memory of your phone) and inside the android folder create the data and obb folders. Folder Mount will automatically drag the large data and obb files on the duplicate android folder that you created. Also there's a video tutorial on the thread.
Free Version you can only mount 3 maximum folders.
Premium version you can mount any folders you want and some added features!
If you found this post useful please hit thanks! Also if you found the app useful don't forget to support and purchase the premium version.
thank you bro
Yeah, I quickly moved to foldermount after upgrading to 4.3. It's paid, but works perfectly.
