Do you manage to have access at your external sd ? If not, you can do it with es explorer.

Here you go, I made this for when I tried LSJ on my phone. I have attached a CWM flashable zip and the edited vols.fstab file if you want to push it or copy it over with a root explorer. Just rename the vold.fstab.txt file to vold.fstab, XDA wouldn't let me upload an attachment with the .fstab extension

Not external SD card, it allows swapping the inbuilt 16GB memory and whatever SD card you have in the MicroSD slot so the phone sees the microSD card as the first point of storage, allowing you to use up to 64GB memory for game data download etc.

Samsung make this phone with internal storage USB storage and sd card but all the app files go to USB which is 12 gb. When playing Gameloft games which take around 2gb each it fills quickly so if you have a big sd card you can make the phone see the sdcard as usb

So if I understand correctly you flash the zip or manually replace the vold.fstab file?

Help install games and apps on Sd card

hello guys I got this cheap tablet for free Empire electronix K701 with only 2 gb internal memory and I have one 16 gb sd card class 10.
Is it possible to put the games/apss on external card??
I also tried to root it but no succes...I used the ZhaoDashi software i connected the tablet but when I try to write the root it fails...
probably because the software didn't recognize the brand of my tablet
Can anyone help me root it or put aps on Sd card?
Cheers

If your rom supports moving apps to sdcard so use Link2sd app
If you want to move app data to external sdcard use foldermount
But both requires root

You need to know your chipset's brand (try using CPU Identifier, or Google). Then, search for a method for your specific chipset.

Put AppData onto your SD Card

Hi guys, so i ran out of storage on my mega 6.3 and found out it was the googleplay music data, so i just looked for a solution and ran over this:
watch?v=lYFw9bEAzM8
I am not allowed to put a link it in it, just put youtube . com infront of this
It's really easy and may help to put huge appdata like games and music pinned with google play on your SD Card. :good:
With a 64GB SD-Card i can install any game and put any data onto my phone now
(Sry for my english, I am from austria)
Hopefully I helped a little bit
Looks good but ill wait for the update maybe they put it in there to move apps to ext sd.

I don't have 9205 but have 9152 mega 5.8. By default the latest 4.2.2 already has transfer app to sd. Then to transfer game data I use gl to sd. Of course root is required. Folder mount also works but I have not tried it.
I also use folder mount but there is also an thread here that switches your internal and external sd.
Only problem is that after root i can not do OTA updates anymore.
But i think kies does work.

No, the CSC is only to help Samsung it doesn't do us any good. Keep away from XSA though as we (Aussie) have the bottom dock locked.
The question is app DATA you mean the latest fw can move the game data such as the obb folder? And without root?

I don't know about without root, my Rom has root as well but the official one should be the same.
I am not sure about the data, would that not move with the app? If you run from SD would it not store it on SD? I am not a gamer so I don't know but you could try it, the Rom is an update anyway.
Ok so you have not tried it with game or any app data separate from the app. If the app data is on aseparate folder like "obb" folderthen itwill not move. This is also true with music files and backup files of titanium backup for example.
Gl to sd is the app to use if the app data is separate from the app itself. But the TS does not want to root so I think there is no way yet. Previously on 4.1.2 there was external to internal app but does not work anymore on 4.2.2.
I do know Titanium is movable, you set the place to do backups in the settings.
Anyway there is another thread stating what I already said here- that the MJ2 does not move the obb folder/data only the app.

Surely where the app puts its data is down to the app not the rom?
Previously I used a phone wherein application installation can be installed on the externalsd by selection or by default. So a rom can be programmed to do so. I don't know how difficult will that be to code on the mega and similar phonesbecause of the emulated internal memory though.

It's impossible to move apps to SD card in in Galaxy S3. With every rom, stock or custom.
Not sure about apps but you can move app data.
