Hi all,
I recently rooted my S3 GT-i9300 for the 1st time. I downloaded rootchecker and it has been successful. I recently installed a sandisk micro sd 64gb card into my phone and am looking at storing most of my applications their.
I purchased foldermount with the intentions of doing that but have had no luck with the program. I bought premium version (but don't know how the check that its actually the pro one, because it still has the purchase pro option? However, my card has been drawn from.)
I have installed a few apps on my phone from the play store and watched several youtube tutorials, but I don't have the same directories as they do on their phones.
I am now looking to move these apps to my external micro sd. I make a name under name.
I then try and find the source app files, but cannot seem to locate them anywhere???
Where do I find the application files, so that I can move them to my external micro sd?
Sorry if this sounds stupid, I'm only new to this.
Link2sd? Search for it. Either on Playstoore or XDA.
Edit: Sorry it's Link2sd.

Well I have a Galaxy S3 with 16 GB of internal memory. I recently got addicted to ashphalts(both 6 and 7), Batman: The Dark Knight, The Amazing Spiderman, Gangster Rio, ShadowGun and many more HD games. As stated, all of them consume huge amount of space and to make the matter worse you are not allowed to see the files that are being downloaded over wifi, so no way to move them manually. I got apps to sd installed which is pointless in Galaxy S3 as it has no option for apps to move to sd card.
Now is there any way I can get rid of this problem? Any way that I can move some of the apps on my 32 GB sd card? I dont want to root or do something like that. I rooted my galaxy s2 and enjoyed installing hundreds of ROMs but for S3 I prefer not to. The sock version is just too good. But is there any way to solve the space issue?
yeah, it sucks because 16gb only has less than 12gb of usable space
it is pretty lame how google removed support for installing to SD card.. i think they're doing this now to get people to buy android phone with more internal memory (32gb, 64gb,etc)..
unfortunately no solution unless you root and hack your phone to death.. might want to take a look at this.
Root is the easiest way to solve most issues including yours.
Other solutions:
1) Finish the game and uninstall it immediately.
2) Trade your phone for 64gb version.

Thanks mate. I did take a look at that forum earlier but thought that seemed pretty complex to me.
WEll perhaps you are right, google wants us to buy phones with high internal memory and surely we would! ****! Cut down the price then

@Ev0d3vil: I installed a sd card in one of my SGS3 and then downloaded GTA3 outside the play store. Then you get all the data in a zip, that can be used from sd card. I just installed GTA3 and it works fine from my SD card. Atleast I think. Anyways there is no way to move apps to sd in SGS3 unless rooted. Droidsail super app2sd is a great app that I had used for moving apps to SD in my previous android.
There are two methods around this.

Yep. Good options. Personally I use gl to sd from play store. It moves game data to the external sd. You open the app and it shows you which games etc you can run / move data for. In options you can also add the data folder as well as select folders manually.

I just got a Galaxy S4 (16GB) from Verizon and am having some problems with installing large games (I am apparently already out of space). Did something change between older Android phones and the S4 regarding how games with additional large files store said files? I've tried the "move to SD card" feature but it doesn't seem to move anything from the internal to external storage.
Thanks in advance for any help, I'm rather frustrated with this at the moment.

The move to sd option only moves the apk, not the said data. There are aftermarket options like folder mount tho.

Hey guys!
I'd like to ask a question... I recently got a Samsung SIII, which I have rooted already and installed S4 Glance ROM, which takes quite a bit of the internal SD card, so I decided to buy an external SD, just to find out thar it's rather difficult transfer the Apps over there!....
One of my Apps is Ndrive and I have 2 maps installed, which take together about 500Mb.. So, my question is: Since I have purchased the External SD card, is there any way of putting the maps in that card and make Ndrive to find it?..
If You can help, I really appreciate!!
Ask in the NDrive support/ forum . Many map apps do not allow transfer .
Hello guys,
First of all, I apologize for my poor English.
I own a Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet running Lollipop 5.02. This tablet has ability to move apps to the SD card with no problem at all.
So here is the thing: I currently using the app Zinio to collect and read my favorites magazines. I currently have around 100 issues stored in the internal card of the tablet and I would love to move them all to the external SD card.
Problem is that the app in itself is correctly moved to the SD card BUT all the app data (that is, all the downloaded magazines) remains in the internal memory.
Before the release of Lollipop, I emailed Zinio asking why the magazines could not be stored the SD card, just like the Spotify app does. They replied me that this the way the app works an there was nothing that could be done to make some room in the internal memory apart from deleting some magazines…
So, anyone here using the Zinio app found a way to store the magazines in the external SD card?? (I tried moving the whole magazine directory to the SD card, but as soon as I tried to open one issue, the app downloaded it again in the internal memory…
I realize that this is a limitation of the app and has nothing to do with Android in itself, because in the case of the Spotify, the app automatically downloads the music to the SD card…
Any ideas??
Thanks
Has anyone managed to bypass this stupid app limitation by rooting, and/or using apps like foldermount, or similar?
I too want to have lots of magazines stored on my external sd card, and not be limited by my tablet's internal storage capacity (16gb).
Hi grenness,
I have emailed Zinio at least 3 times regarding this issue and they always came back with the same bullsh**t: «there is no way to transfer the magazines to the sd card , if you want to make some room for new issues, you will have to delete some old ones»...
What a bunch of genius those Zinio folks...
I wonder why the Spotify app have no problems at all to store the downloaded music in the SD card and Zinio does not want to...
In the meantime, I cancelled all my subscriptions with Zinio.

So frustrating. I find I have to remove mags as soon as I've read them.
Same issue here. Zinio takes up all my space. Bought sd card for my galaxy tab to no need.
Has there been any movement on this issue? My Galaxy Tab S2 is critically low on storage because of the Zinio content and it has a half-empty SD card just begging to be used!
Hi I have a 16gb SD card in my Sony tablet that in the past I have moved a few apps over to, i have nearly filled up the tablets internal memory so decided to move a few more over after only moving one app I tried another which is 600mb but after a while I get a error saying their is not enough space left on the SD card when their is 10gb left anyone have any ideas why it would do this
Thanks in advance
I believe due to lollipop you're not able to move the whole app to the sd card. This ought to be changed in the marshmallows update. Unfortunately, without root, there is nothing you can do about it. Please correct me if I am wrong on this

That might be the case as the first app I tried was the Sonic CD game at 600mb but just tried my ebay app at 685mb and that moved straight over, only other difference between these apps is ebay is from the Google Play Store while Sonic was from the Amazon underground apps app do you know if you can't move the amazon underground apps ?
there are 2 programms which assist moving apps to sd. Link2SD is very good - you re-partition your sd card (e.g. if you have 64, you split it into 48gb fat and +16gb ext4 partition) and then you have extra 16gb for apps. It also can move obb files to sdcard, but wants you to upgrade to PRO version for this. Here, FolderMount app comes handy. It is made just to move obb files (this is what you usually get with big games). So, both apps, when used in parallel, allow you to move pretty much everything to sdcard. Both need root. That's what I use on other devices, and will try to replicate same setup on XZ3CT later today. But if it all sounds too complicated, maybe you need to wait for Android marshmallow couple of weeks, and it will allow you to fully use sdcard for apps.
