How to get app data on sd card - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hey everyone. I recently got a new sd card for my device and have been wondering if there's a way I can move either entire apps or just the app data from the internal storage to the external storage. Running cm10 means that the two storage spaces are separated and when apps are moved to the "sd card" its simply to the internal phone storage which doesn't do me any good . Is there a way this can be remedied? Thanks in advance.

This seems to be the easy method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
I prefer to do it manually though. I tried that app i didnt like it.
1. Downoald smanager
2. Use ur pc or file manager and create a .txt file and type: mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1/your folder name/ /storage/sdcard0/your folder name/
U will just choose what folder u want to move to ur external card (make sure to creat the folder names on external first)
Sdcard1 is ur external and sdcard0 is ur phone. So for ex. If u want to move ur data folder to ur sd card u will put: mount -o bind /storage/sdcard1/data/ /storage/sdcard0/data/
3. Save ur txt file to any name u want then open smanager and go to ur text file and open as excutible and the click on root and set as boot the icons should be at the top.
4. Once done reboot and there u go
Make sure the directories are named correctly. U can do this for any folder and a txt file must be created for each directory u want to bind

Thanks so much for your response. Appreciate it a lot. Will try out both methods and see if they work. Thanks.

Okay so I finally had time to follow the method provided here, however when I run the script in smamager it says permission denied. And once rebooted it seems to not have worked. Their may be some variable I'm not aware of that's preventing it that I'm still trying to determine.
Also would it be possible to simply set my default external storage to sdcard1 instead of sdcard0? That way future applications would simply go there by default?

I'm going to try this method out, thanks for the info.

U can get app2sd and that will let u move most games to sd card. What exactly are u trying to move. U cant move system files.

Im simply trying to remove large app data such as games from my internal phone storage to my external storage. Basically I have no space on internal storage so I went out and got an sd card in an attempt to have more space for apps.
So either a) I would like to have that data on my internal storage removed to my actual sd card.
Or b) set my external sd card as my default app data location going forward.
App2sd didn't seem to work when I tried it. What instead happens is since I'm running cm10 it partitions my internal storage in two so that when moving apps to "sdcard", it moves data into a separate part of my internal storage.
I know this probably seems like a basic problem, and honestly I can't remember having this issue ever prior to using cm10, but it's turning out to be quite a hassle as I'm trying to install apps and games and hitting a brick wall cause of no storage. In the past I have been able to send app data to the actual sd card, but it's simply just not working anymore.

sdcard0 is ur internal and sdcard1 is ur external, so if u are trying to bind, u are going to specify u want /storage/sdcard1/Android/data/ to take over /storage/sdcard0/Android/data/ folder to do this u will put in a txt file
-o bind /storage/sdcard1/Android/data/ /storage/sdcard0/Android/data/
before you run the script, make sure u move all the files in ur folders to the external place 1st.
here are examples of what i did for moving my google music from internal to external

[Q] unable to move/install applications to sd

Hey guys i have been unable to move/install apps to my sd card ever since changing to MIUI I'm not sure whether this is a problem with the ROM or not (i think i may have insalled applications to SD on a previous GB version of MIUI)
I am using a rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 with the latest MIUI based on 4.0.4. before MIUI i was on CM7 stable and i remember messing around with some settings there to try and get my phone to read music off the sd card as well as internal memory-(where all my downloaded music was going). I also may have done a dodgy partition on my old 32gb micro sd or some how partitioned my internal storage of my phone...
I have recently successfully partitioned my Sandisk 64gb micro SDXC to this tutorial...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343187
when i go to move a 'moveable' app eg. Paypal through 'Link2Sd' it comes up with an error saying "pkg:/data/app/com.paypal.android.p2pmobile-1.apk Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR]
when i go to move a 'moveable' app through 'App 2 SD Pro' it says 'couldn't move app'

u may try amarullz "ad2sdx" or dk_zerocool "mount2sd" script...
did you try Titanium Backup to move those apps?
also u can do in adb shell "pm setinstalllocation 2"

when you partition the sd card doesn't it format it then? I repartitioned my SD card still the same problem.
I also went to back up my current rom today through 'ROM manager' and it said something along the lines of...
SD card mounted...
SD card space free: 30437MB
............(can't remember)
...No SD_EXT found
something something...checking MD5 sums
It then waited a little bit and rebooted without creating a backup. I then booted into CWM and tried doing a back up again. It came up with the same relative message as above but it decided to make a back up. The back up folder had 7 files in it (this seems normal to me) and also backed up to my micro SD which is new
Today i also tried moving apps with titanium backup. It moved them effortlessly or so i thought and then later i checked the SD card on the computer the apps files were no where to be seen so i double checked through Apps 2 SD, Link2sd and the system app info on my phone and they all show that the apps have not been moved to my micro sd card.
i havent tried the adb shell or script methods you have sugested but i will soon and let you know how i go.
thanks heaps in advanced!
i hv seen many ppl complaining abt cwm creating bad partitions. so i would suggest it via pc.
for formatting use "sdformatter"
for partitioning use "minitool partition wizard".
ur issues seem to be wid bad partition.

Precisely...the pictures in my first post show that storage sections labled 'internal storage' and 'usb storage' are both on my phones memory. I am able to take the micro sd out of the phone and these storage locations are still mounted and installed apps still work. Also when i open my native file explorer to see where my apps are and select 'SD card' it goes to the directory of 'usb storage'. This problem occurs with apps such as Astro and other file managing apps.
sry, am totally lost. may be someone else will help you out. gud luck

i know this is an old topic, but i just want to share in case anyone stumbles upon this error again.
I had this problem, i fixed it by changing the default install location to auto in link2sd. or ifg you dont have link2sd in settings set it to let system decide. hope this helps someone out there

[TESTED] app & games data to external SD card on S3 !!!

How to move applications & games data to external SD card on Samsung Galaxy S3?
I take my Samsung Galaxy S3 as example. It should work on rooted Android phone with external micro SD card.
Old Gameloft games data are stored at /mnt/sdcard/
However, latest Gameloft games data are stored at /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/ just like other Android applications and games.
With Directory Bind, you can move one folder by one folder to external storage at /mnt/extSdCard/
I won’t move all applications and games data in Android/data folder to external micro SD card because it is much slower compare to internal memory.
Therefore, I only move those unimportant or less frequent used applications and games to external storage with Directory Bind.

No. Symlinks (and hardlinks) only work within a filesystem, not across partitions.
This is a kernel-feature called bind-mount.
The underlying command is: (Make sure the destination exists)
bind -o mount /from/source/folder /to/destination/folder
I was trying this last night, but couldn't get the settings to persist. I was trying with gta3 and put the exact settings you have above in, ticked the box to move move files, and the files moved but the settings didn't appear on the main screen.
Hi ,
I would like to know how to delete the bing and restore original app directory.
If I hold down on the blind apper two paths and under these two entries "delete" and "save"
What should I do? I run last version of app "o"
I've read all the page of the topic but I found information only to create a bind and not how to delete it.
Thanks in advance
Just hold on bind entry & delete. Simples

Not exactly sure how it works.
Moving seems to be working. But the directory stays on internal sdcard but are files moved because there is more space.
But when I reopen directory bind I can't see binded directory's anymore?
How to unbind then?
And when I delete directory on internal sdcard the game doesn't run anymore!

Hi Carlos, I'm using the same configurations that you show on your screenshots but when I try to open for example Aura, it wants to download all the data again. This happens also on the games.
I am using a Galaxy S3 Us Version, rooted, with Adama 03 kernel and redruM rom, Android 4.04.
Thanks!
Awesome!, works perfectly on omega9
Thanks!!!
I got many application crash or force close when the directory bind running..ex TB,gapps,and many other..how to fix it??

I'm using link2sd app. Works pretty well
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
This is done by creating symbolic links.
What you're making is a way to point that any operation into directory /x needs to be done into directory /y. Because of this, you can't delete the original directory or your games won't run as you are deleting it on /y (/x point to /y).
I do this on my computer to use my RAM Disk with browser, temporaries, downloads and such.
symbolic links and bind mount is two different thing. symlink doesn't supported by the (ex)fat16/32 filesystem, so only the bind mount will work.
great app but a directory browsing feature will be great, writing a long directory name is painfull
edit: found the directory browsing feature

[Q] SD card issue

I am having an issue with my SD card
If i attempt to move a file from the Internal storage to the external storage it will not move and if it does it ends up not working.
I can intermittently save files from the browser to the SD card but most of the time it fails. I have tried to use Boat Browser and the stock browser
Any Suggestions or is this happening to anyone else
It's an sdcard permissions issue, my galaxy 7 plus had it. I know my note 2 has it as well. Since we are on JB I believe you can use the fix for the s3 (on JB) for the note 2. I have not gotten around to doing the fix for it yet, but you need to be rooted to do it.

You might have to do what I did.
First backup any data from the SD card to your PC if you need it.
Then with the card in the Note 2, go to settings, storage, and format the card.
Once that's done, copy the data back from the PC to the card.
That's what I did when I got it then I formatted my SD card through my PC with fat 32 and same problem

You should be able to move and delete files by using the my files apps that samsung installed on the note 2.. if so it's a permissions problem (I know it is for me, but I'm being too lazy to fix it at the moment). Back your /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml file in root explorer first just in case...
Here's the fix I used on my galaxy tab 7 plus.

Simple solution for external sdcard write access on Android 3.2...if you're rooted
I've found a simple solution for gaining write access to the external sdcard (/mnt/sdcard2) on Android 3.2. The sdcard is mounted r/w, but the owning group is media_rw which is linked to the WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE permission. Unfortunately, this permission was not required for access to the external sdcard prior to 3.2 so most file management utilities do not request it when they run...meaning they only have read access to the card.
The simple solution, if you're rooted, is as follows:
1. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions and make sure you have mounted the file system r/w.
2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...<group gid="media_rw" />
4. Save the changes to the file.
5. Restart your tablet.
After this change, any apps that request the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission (which includes almost anything that access either of the sdcards) will gain group membership in both sdcard_rw AND media_rw, giving them r/w access to both sdcard filesystems.

The problem is very strange I can sometimes move files to the SD card but most times I cant. When I try to move larger files it almost always fails or it moves and then the file name changes to that gibbirish in the picture above. I set the download directory in the browser to the extsd card and it will save small files like pictures but when I try to download anything large it fails and says there insufficient space.

How big are these files? Fat32 has a file size limit of 4GB if the file is bigger than that it will not work. If you need above 4GB file size support reformat the microsd card exfat.
The files are movies between 700mb and 1.6 GB and once I was able to move a 700mb movie and later that night I moved some music over and while I was watching the movie the music started playing and the movie wouldn't.

[Q] Dropbox & exporting to external SD card

okay...
I have dropbox and love it (50GB free) :woohoo:
On JB roms I can't export to external SD card (I can export to internal but I prefer to use external for DB)
on GB rom the path for external SD card is accessed within internal SD card i.e. sdcard/extsdcard/ (or something similar)
So, is there anyway to get Dropbox to see external SD card on JB?? (NB, it does see folders if you create new folder from within the app, but it doesn't see any other folders [apart from clockworkmod for some reason])
-=or=- is there a way to change the JB path for ext sdcard to be accessed from within the internal storage??
PS - I do just manually move things from internal to external... but I'm not getting any younger doing it
:bump:

I have the same problem with Galaxy Note N7000. Any idea how to fix it, maybe link external_sd to /extSdCard?
Btw you can use Astro File Manager. It can access both sd card and dropbox as folders and simple copy/paste will work. Just tested

I dunno... Could it be related to a specific ROM? I have no problem at all accessing both int and ext SD cards from Dropbox "export" function (they are listed as internal storage and SD card respectively), and can see all folders on either storage. Running Disaster v.10 (stock-based LSD).

Using SD card instad of internal memory as SD card for Airdroid file transfer

So, Moto E has some 4 gig of internal memory and around 2 gigs is for user use, most of it gets consumed when you install everything you need as not all apps can be moved to SD card. This itself is not big problem to me but I've noticed that applications like ''Airdroid'' detect internal memory as SD card and do not detect external SD card at all when tried to change that from settings.
This phone does not come with USB data cable/connector so being able to transfer files on Wifi is important function and I rely on it quite often. Small files do ok, but whenever I try to transfer file exceeding the free internal space it gives me error ''not enough space''. I've 16 gigs SD card so I would like it to be used by Airdroid directly, if that is possible.
Anyone?

Not without rooting. If you root, you can mount the folder where airdroid stores its data to external sd using foldermount or other similar app
