Anybody know of one? Seems like a good way to keep big apps on extsd even when switching ROMs. Also, seems like directory bind would work with a 4.2 update unlike the int/ext swap.

Use the Site search and you'll find dozens of threads on it, and search for App called Directory Bind because that's what you need if your phone's Rooted.

Thanks foe your reply I am not rooted just got this phone today. And I am sorry about double posting

If you're not rooted then you're out of luck.
Well... I would not call it out of luck because technically the Move-to-SD option is no longer necessary since the apps are already stored on the internal storage and no longer in their own small /data partition.

But even so... 16.gb gets a little small for our app addiction...

Hi,
Could anyone tell me where a stock galaxy s 3 app would be installed to please?
The reason i ask is because an app i am using (six axis controller) installed itself to /data/data/ instead of sdcard/data/
Is the latter the location of which apps on stock roms are installed?
Because i am using foxhound 1.3 and my apps are all installed to /data/data/ making touch profiles for the six axis app, impossible to use, because they are saved to and imported from sdcard/data/com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller the app would need root access to get there, unfortunately it doesn't.
All my apps are up to date and are legit versions, all paid for.
This all might sound confusing and i hope it doesn't.
Any knowledge about the whereabouts of where apps or parts of apps are installed to on stock roms would be a great help.
Many thanks.
System apps are in /system/app
All other apps should be in /data/app.

sdcard/android/data is where it tends to install files etc

Thanks for all the replies, the problem i've got is, all my apps are being installed to /data/data/ and the six axis app needs it to be installed in sdcard/data/ apparently i'm all alone in this.
I've tried omega, foxhound and android revolution.
All do the same thing.
Yet everyone talks about the app being installed to sdcard/data/
Whenever i point the app to that location it force closes.
Really annoying.
No worries buddy, my advice would be to flash back to original ics (LG8) then root (I use CF-ROOT 6.4) and see if you're still having trouble after that buddy

hmmm.. try using Link2SD , open the Menu using menu button -> Settings -> Install location -> change from "Automatic" to "Internal"
hopefully, the directory for installation will change into sdcard/Android/data :good::laugh:
OK so after trying everything I could think of, I went with mega wipe which killed off the internal SD card and everthing in it including data, so now everything works perfect

So if I want to add apps like the note2 gallery to my port do I just put it in the app file zip it up and sign it?

Hey skinzy98, real quick, just wanted to let you know that your work in the development sub-forum is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work! :thumbup:
Now to answer your question. If you're planning to inject an app into a ROM, then you can accomplish this by placing the .apk into the system/app directory inside your ROMNAME.zip, and that's it (assuming the ROM sets recursive permissions to the entire system/app directory). This would result in your injected app being installed as a system app. However, if you want it to be installed as a data app... Well, it's gonna' be a little more involved. For what you plan to do, installing it as a system app would probably be best anyhow. Good luck, and let me know if you need any help/have any questions. Always glad to help a bro out when I can.

You are going about it the right way, but beware some apps from different sources may in other files or framework.
Just fyi if you run into unexpected issues.
Good luck

Unfortunately happen my parents are against me doing ports and think it is a waste of time. I'll see what happens

I always assumed this was impossible because one of the partitions of the internal flash storage is already called (amusingly) 'sd_card' and *this* is where apps are stored when on the 'sd_card'. However, there was mention in a review article about overcoming the SGSIV's limited built-in storage by simply storing apps on the sd_card which in this case would be the external one. Assuming the SGSIV has the same partitioning as the LGOG, I started to wonder....
Does anyone know about this? thanks.

I was just curious to see whats everyone is using to solve there lack of memory issue since the apps to sd update is kinda useless any way cause it doesnt move all files along with app and to see which app you guys actually perfer and why?
I personally am using folder mount. And even paid for the full version as you can select any folder and as many as you like works great.
