Hi I am a new user SGS3 I9300, and I bought a micro sd 32gb UHS-1 I want to ask can I change the settings for file download, bluetooth files, game data, and others to be automatically stored in the external micro sd card and internal memory only for files apk only.
Thanks for the help

so is that directory bind can automatically do that or manually like we are copy paste?
Directory bind will move the contents of any folder on /sdcard and move it to any folder on /extSdCard then bind them. This means when you go into original location, you see files still but are actually in new location

Hi
Any one tried doing this?
I searched and came across directory bind app but I'm not yet sure should I do it or not
My sd is almost full now so I want to move huge games data to ext sd which has lots of free space
Or else should I move those data myself and then edit their pref file in root folder and Change directory address?
Plz suggest me some working method
Thank you

There is a inbuilt feature in settings that allow you to move apps to sd. Check settings, apps, and click on the app you want to move to sd. It should have an option to move app to sd.
Do be careful. Some apps do not work properly once moved to the sd card.

Set default data path as /mnt/extSdCard/ and default target path as /sdcard/

Make a folder on the extsd card having the same name as on you sd.... for example.. make a folder named android and then a folder named data inside it..and then a subfolder corresponding to the name you wana transfer
For example... if you want to put modern combat, place a folder called com.android.GAND.GloftM3SS inside extsd android/data ... then choose the default path and target so that the names are the same..it should look like this
And then do it

The target directory should be "/mnt/sdcard/" instead of "/sdcard/".
Also maybe it's better to bind specific directories in sdcard with specific directories in extSdCard, eg "/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.gameloft.android.SAMSUNG.GloftA7SS/" with say "/mnt/extSdCard/GameData/A7/", instead of binding the entire sdcard "/mnt/sdcard" with the entire extSdCard "/mnt/extSdCard/".
Links2sd worked for me make two primary fat32 partitions on the sd card then uses Links2sd to just link them mate Job done

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

move your apps to internal storage and then link them

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?

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.
I'm trying to figure out where all my memory is going..... and i noticed and I have seen this before of the infamous "0" file that is inside of the sd memory. Two different things; is it accumulating memory, and how do I get rid of it?
It is an exact duplicate of the sd card.... and lots of times my recovery twrp 2.5.5 can't find downloads Bc it can't find "0"....and i have to move the files after downloading just so the recovery can find it.
I'm not near a pc so could I move the whole" 0" file to sd card somehow? Perhaps create a temp folder move it there and the delete sd files... Recreate sd card and then move all files from "0" back into sd card files and get rid of "0" all together.... Something like that..... Not having a pc on vacation

The "0" folder is the primary internal sd card location on AOSP 4.2 roms, when you flash back to Touchwiz is becomes "0". The zip here will remove all of the files in that folder and put them back in the right spot for touchwiz roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1683644&d=1359382056
When I am on touchwiz I use the recovery zip above and then delete the 0 folder.

This is the two files or sd and sd0
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Leave it. The 0 file is normal and is the way it's is supposed to be. Legacy, '0', sdcard, and sdcard0 are all pointing at the same file. Delete a file in one place and it will be gone in all those places.
As long as you only have one '0' location you don't have a problem. Mostly just use sdcard (as you would on any device) and everything will work as it should. In some cases when setting a path in an app the app will follow the /storage/emulated/0 path. Just treat '0' as if it was sdcard.
These multiple paths to the same file location are called symlinks. Here is an explanation about symlinks and what they are used for.

All this is because Google turned JB from a single user device to a multiple user device, each with their own acct/login.

Hi guys,
Just want to share this unique app because directory bind doesn't work on 4.3 roms. As an alternative i found this app so useful. kindly check this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192122.
Also after installing the Folder Mount, In your external sd card create a duplicate android folder (which is located in the internal memory of your phone) and inside the android folder create the data and obb folders. Folder Mount will automatically drag the large data and obb files on the duplicate android folder that you created. Also there's a video tutorial on the thread.
Free Version you can only mount 3 maximum folders.
Premium version you can mount any folders you want and some added features!
If you found this post useful please hit thanks! Also if you found the app useful don't forget to support and purchase the premium version.
thank you bro
Yeah, I quickly moved to foldermount after upgrading to 4.3. It's paid, but works perfectly.
