In detail > do u mean what programs i tried to use? if it is apps are (a2sp pro - link2sd - app2sd -gl to sd - and much more programs )
i just can not move apps or games to my external sd card
when i used (app2sd) program it gives me this msg : the device does not have a real primary external storage or the primary external storage is emulated .
My device is (samsung galaxy S3 - odin rooted )
any solution? thx in advance
I think your /sdcard is internal memory. The /mnt/extsdcard is external memory. If you removed your external sdcard do all your files and stuff disappear or are they still there?
If you are rooted I think you can change where everything gets mounted or maybe change it in your boot.img.
Also, it's not for nothing. Consider this an educational journey into the rich world of rooted phones.

First thx and about stuff disappear , no i can still see them whenever i use usb cable or any
its my first android so am new to expressions (your boot.img)
its ok just wanted to have more memory cuz my empty memory is 700 mb :S right now
and am using the factory rom ( maybe i have to setup rom so it can work?)
about education am afraid to educate on my s3 maybe i have to buy a cheap one until i learn how to use
thx again bro
Since you are rooted you can install a custom rom that has no bloatware. You'll get more space because it will only have the apps that you want

Hi,
how to use the external memory for instalation of app and games?
I have Micro SD 64GB, and my Galaxy S III don't install nothing in there.
I try app2SD, Link2SD, and the ADB "setInstallLocation"...
Please help me!
Sorry my english. Thank you for help.
S3 is designed to treat the memory as one unit, when internal is full it will start to use external.

I tried as many methods as i could find and the only thing i succeeded in was breaking the Play Store through something i did, so be careful.

Are you sure? The last time my internal SD card was full and the phone was not installing the apps stating that the device is low on the memory. If it is designed to be able to use internal first and external afterwards then why it did not use it in may case. Is there any setting or anything to turn on this feature?
It's how the nexus works and how the s3 works.

Root and use DirectoryBind.
It's more technical, but it gets most of the job done, especially those huge games from Gameloft.
So before I try another method and possibly break something else does anyone know if Directory Bind actually works?
You have 16 of storage on the phone itself. Why would you need to move apps to the SD card anymore? I could see back in the days when you only had 1GB or less, but now there really is no need for it.

Nova 3: 1.9gb
Modern Combat 3: 1.4gb
That's just 2 games taking up nearly a third of the space and it is impossible without Rooting and tricking the phone to install the game or SD data.

OK so you dont play many games on your phone & the internal memory is obviously enough for you But thats not the case for everyone!
Most decent 3d games these days are over 1gb each so surely you can see why people want to install to extsd i certainly want this feature
Directory Bind dont Install im my SGS3...
Memory is full error in install , but i have 2GB free memory...

HELP! UP!
Free up some space (move a Gameloft game folder from /sdcard/Android/data/ to /mnt/extSdCard/Android/data), install Directory Bind, then use it to bind both folders.

Can't believe you asked this man...
If you're rooted, run the following on Terminal Emulator
(you may want to reate a GScript link and e.g. an autostart entry so that it's easier to use)
Preparation:
* Terminate the app
* Copy/move the folder you want to transfer from the internal to the external SD
* Create a new folder on the internal SD with exactly the same name
Execution (run in Terminal Emulator / GScript)
Code:
mount -o bind /mnt/extSdCard/YOURFOLDER /mnt/sdcard/YOURFOLDER
Note: This does not survive reboots, you'll need to execute or automatically execute the 'Execution' part on each boot.
This setup can be repeated endlessly for all folders you want.

Looks like your apps are staying on your internal SD then. No skin off my nads.

it doesnt work it reads my usb memory as a SD card , my sd card is 8 gb and it reads my usb memory as 11 gb
I don't understand You Have Usb memory and SD card ? can you explain ?
there is plenty of space for apps on sgs2 .. so you dont need to install them on your SD-Card ...
the internal SD Card is much faster though .. so you will have more fun starting them

There are several methods(whatever method you will need root) , one is swapping the internal and external memory card so all apps will directly install into the sd card(there are several threads on how to do it, I think there is an app in play store too) , and other method is using a third party application like directory bind.
Edit:
A simple search gave me this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010152 it contains the vold.fstab file for your version too.
You should try searching properly, If one man can do it, another can.

Good day to. day o all.Im using an LG K10 phone. I noticed im unable to move apps from phone storage to sd. I even tried using app2sd, but still didnt work. Any help is appreciated
A friend of me has the samsung galaxy s5839i some times while the mobile run normally at menu e.t.c. are became tooooo slow at menu and at all.
These time the free memory from uninstall apps menu it is 20-25mb and if i free some of this memory it is became to normal speeds like it was before.
What you suggest me to do to make the phone work just fine everytime?
My friend it was buy one sd card 8gb without any difference.
And the fact is that it doesn't install tooo many apps.
It has install only 4-5 apps like(facebook, lighter, battery, aquamail e.t.c.)
The mobile it has the official android 2.3.6.
Do you suggest me to root it and if i did what apps you suggest me to uninstall that it doesn't bother the fuction of mobile?
Thank you very much .

If you want space, then root the phone and use an app called link2sd to move apps to SD card and free space. If you want free RAM space to make it more smoother, don't open too many apps in one go and stop any unnessesary processes and use a task killer e.g. Clean Master. If you want ultimate smoothness flash a custom ROM!
Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk
Custom rom like????
And my friend want the maximun smoothness.
If i can make it smoothness only with root and move all apps to sd then can you tell me a link to the link of root file for 2.3.6 and the link for unroot file.
The root or unroot became from recovery menu of the mobile correct?

Your all questions will be answerd by reading some Guides
Go to our General Section and Read some Guides related to Increase Internal memory ...and all..
Then Head to our Development section for Custom Roms

Ok can you tell me one app that i can move almost every app from the phone memory to sd memory card if the phone is rooted?
And can you tell me what file i must install to the s5839i with android 2.3.6 to root it and what to unroot it?

Head towards these For Increasing internal memory
And For Root and UnRoot
No this increase internal memory of this mobile is really hard procedure and risky.
I want an EASY and very really workable way.
If simply root(NOT custom roms or anything else) it and move all the apps into 8gb sd card can i see any chance at the speed of the phone?
Can you tell me if this app can move apps to sd card to a samsung gt-s5839i even with stock unrooted android 2.3.6 doesn't allow me to do it?

See which ever Guide i had Provided is already tested and workable so do it on your own risk
And without rooting nothing is possible
About speed, yes your speed will be decrease little bit
And about App link2sd is most preferable .
So you thing if i ONLY ROOT the mobile and simply move most apps into the sd card the phone will work stable and fast correct?

No the speed will not remain as it is it will decrease little bit.. because of moving apps forcefully .
The speed when i power on the phone?
Correct?
When the phone it was powered on and it was scanned the sd card then the mobile it doesn't be so slow as it is now that internal memory it was fulled except 20-25mb correct?

Hi I'm new here i just want to ask if there is a way to unroot my lenovo A269i?, because every time i download an application it goes to internal memory and the internal memory of my phone is sucks, its not even let me transfer application to my SD card.. help me guys please thanks :laugh:
Not sure I understand...you want to UNroot because you don't have any internal storage left? Not sure I'm with you there. There are a lot of options while rooted to either swap mounting points for storages or use an app like Folder Mount to link folders from internal to external. If you aren't rooted, the ability to maximize your space is severely limited on most phones.
