im using link2sd right now, works pretty well.
> If your not an advance user, or you dont like scripts, use link2sd, basic and you'll get what you need, there is no best on this part, they all do the same. end of story.
S2E, Only works with cm7 and cm9

I vote for link2sd; relatively simple and has the potential of infinite "internal" memory.
Also when you mount your sd card to a PC, the apps on the link2sd partition are not mounted with the whole sd card..
S2e does the same,relatively simple to do,partition sdcard than select which box you want ticked than reboot but I've heard its not good to select the data/data option but I've never had any problems..

It's there a way to get the gameloft games to use an actual sd cards instead of the internal memory for the additional data? I'm running out of space too quickly. Thanks.

Look for App2SD in the Market. This should have been in Themes and Apps, BTW.
That's not what I mean. Games and apps look to the internal memory, which is labeled sdcard. Our sd card seems to be labeled external sdcard. If an app needs to install extra data, I want to know if there is way to get it to install to the external sdcard?

Im wondering the same thing. The only way I've been able to solve it is to flash cyanogen mod and it has an option there. I moved my modern combat 3 data to the external sd after i checked use external and it worked And it kept my saved data

Thanks I might look into that. This is the first Android phone I haven't needed to root or install another ROM on it.

There is a couple workarounds for this situation. Easiest and best way I like to go at it is just download "gl to sd" from the market. Pretty simple directions, basically it allows you to dl your app then for all gameloft games like 9MM, MW3 etc..and even some other huge extra data games it lets you move the huge extra data download to your external sd card and play the games as normal. It You wont notice any difference in speed,graphics, etc... I've saved myself about 8-9gigs so far easily on internal sd. If your a heavy game player or even occosional but dont want to bother copying files back and forth etc.. Make sure you go with a 32gig ext sd card. My 16gig started filling up very quickly once I found this program .
Any questions with the app let me know, the instructions are a little vague, but if you read reviews ppl explain in detail in case any of it confuses you, but its really pretty easy.
Have fun!
I believe tibu has a batch operation that'll move to sd. Not sure if it move to internal or external tho.
Thanks this sounds promising.

[TOOL] DirectoryBind - move data to external_sd (GameLoft, Shadowgun etc.) ROOT req.
Apparently this is what our sd card is labeled.
Is there a way to force apps to use this rather than our internal 16GB?

It's called sdcard2 ext sd is just a listed path for apps etc.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I would like a force option as well since its not integrated in all apps.

Been looking around online.
Seems we will need a custom ROM for this option to actually put apps on our sd cards.
This internal storage only is a ''feature'' of manufacturer's.

It is so confusing.especiallycause I put in the card from my 3d

I would love to be able to mount the external SD card at /data/media and mount /data/media to the Sdcard2 spot. This would give us the option to have 32GB for app data for gameloft games...etc
The OP is right. Inside apps like Titanium Backup and Root Explorer it is shown as ext_sdcard or "external sd card"
The thought here, which only a few games actually do unfortunately, was that Game developers made their games to ask where you wanted the extra data installed too. I have only found a couple games actually do this (for ex Reckless Racing). kindof like the absence of menu being replaced by the action bar. Developers have to adapt to this.

So lately I've noticed that my SD card is apparently full, like I'll get warning messages when downloading apps and stuff that the storage space is insufficient. But I know the overall storage space and I haven't used anywhere near that much. And I tried removing two files I didn't need through USB storage, and the space still didn't go up! I'm using cyanogenmod 9 on the Samsung galaxy exhibit 2 4G.

Its your internal storage not your SD card.

OK, but on app 2 SD it shows around 600 mb internal memory that is still usable. But when I go into what's on the SD card in that same app, it shows 0 free space which is also false. I know that the regular sdcard is the internal memory and ex-sd card or emmc is external. But still I dont have anything in there taking up that much space, app2sd shows that. And I've already dug around in root explorer and I couldn't find any massive data doing this.

Here, this is what app2sd is showing me.

OK so I think the problem is that since cyanogenmod doesn't use the regular external SD card folder, and uses the emmc folder instead, that's causing this.

i'll try that, but, i guess i am more concerned with why the move option / menu does not list sdcard as an available option...
HI can I get an hint about removing or cracking the low memory notifications and inhibit installing new apps whenever I drop under ~200MB of free phone's memory? I believe this must be breakable.. But how? Please don't suggest moving apps to SDcard as Xperia P has very limited storage for SDcard. Any working solution would be highly appreciated!

Of course you can but before that your phone must be rooted and after that these is two ways to go :
1st : install app2sd its a app but before tht you gonna need CWM tocbe flashed in your phone for backups
2: install s2e(app) to move all app to sd and leave the 200Mb free ,but you gonna need CWM too and for CWM you need to root your phone so look for root then CWM then install s2e or app2sd i will give you a link to a v8deo later if you want
Hit thanks if i was usefull to you

Thanks but as I already wrote that's what I can't do coz I'm out of space on SDcard too ((, so a solution to break the low space alerts or lower significantly the low memory level would be much more negotiable.
Sent from LT22i using Tapatalk 2
From what i know you cant add space but you could trick the phone by creating a ext partition to work like space but that from the sd card so you should buy a new sd card someone else i dont know sorry
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
That's not possible I don't have SDcard slot ( please a workaround how to cheat the phone it must think there's more memory that actually is so it continues working properly even if I go under 200MB.

Sorry that impossible you cant do that
