Heya everyone. Does anybody know how to fix the moving apps to sd problem ? Recently went stock 4.0.3 and i cannot move my apps from phone to internal storage. Tried apptosd but it gets me to settings, which doesnt help me at all. It says "Cannot move app. Not enough storage space"
Btw im coming from CM10 Rom
Do you mean from the 2GB application partition to the 12GB internal storage? If so, then I don't think that is possible.
You can try an app called Directory Bind.

im trying to play gameloft games on my phone.
i downloaded and installed six guns and downloaded the additional files which is about 300mb. the problem is the additional files are downloaded to my sd card and i dont have too much space left. i was just wondering how i can move the addidtional files to the internal space (10gb).
alos is there anyway to set the phone to automatically save files like these to the internal space.
thanks

ive tried moving the files with a root explorer but when i load the game it just asks to download the files again because it cant find them on my sd card
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)

Hello,
I just rooted my GT-I9300 and I installed Gemini App Manager.
When I try to move Apps to my 2GB SD-card it says:
"There is not enough space for moving more apps, 0 apps moved."
The app I was trying to move is only 34 MB and my SD-card is completely empty.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance

Wow 2GB? Not sure if it'd work as well on small apps but I recommend directory bind. There's a simple guide on general forum so look it up moved about 5gb worth of game data.

1. Is your card properly recognised by phone?
2. In most cases, apps like that are moving applications from phone memory (which is around 800MB) to SDcard. Problem is that in SGS3, most apps like that are trying to move to INTERNAL SDcard.
3. Follow recommendation above.
Hi, I've searching around for mod that can mount my sdcard as internal storage.
I found the thread but i'm having no luck. Not working.
Do you guys know other mods ? Im using CM10 Nightly build btw
Thnks for your help

no, it's the only one, you're doing something wrong. it works
Directory bind is an alternative app you can try. Doesn't switch sdcards but moves game data to sd while fooling phone to believe they're still in internal. Works great for large games

Can you provide me link to that thread ?
I tried the mod again today and I found out that my sd card and internal storage have been swapped.
But when i see storage on setting, my internal storage is still unswapped, but my sd card become internal storage also.

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

Link all apps. Don't move them to SD Card.

Im gonna try that . But i have another issue, why when i install apps automatically install on sd card, i remember in old version of link2sd, new apps are linking to sd and no install on sd. How i can activate that if is possible?

In Link2SD go to settings, Check Auto-Link.

Yeah that is activated at the first but for some reason didn't works, idk but now is working, thanks.
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.
