Doesn't work for crap? Is it just me? Do I need to reflash it? I have the rooted version that's available and when I move something to the sd, it movies basically just the apk and says it moves the data yet the data stays on the internal SD

The integration will move the apk.
An app that is 100mb in size will free 100mb of space and move that application to the sd card.
An app that is 50mb for the apk and upon opening you are prompted with a 1gb data downoad will only free 50mb of space when you move it. Any external data downloads are not moved.

Spotify stores data on the external. The app has to support it. Most apps moved away from doing it because apps 2 sd hasnt been used since gingerbread.

Symlinks are a pretty easy way to throw data on the sdcard. If you're looking for a GUI though check out folder mount.

woot, sorry about that. I started out thinking i was going to make a comment, and then decided to change it to a question. Anywhoser... anyone else have bad luck with foldermount and games?
Folder mount works fine for me. Just patiently waiting for an me7 root + recovery method.

i dont have any space on my usb storage and i want do download games that takes a lot of memory (200-700mb) is ther an app that move this apps to the external sd?
thanks for all the helpers!
GOTCHA - u want to play huge games thats why u need OC and all that
since Froyo, user apps can be moved to external SD - go Settings - Manage applications and click on the app u want to move. in the next screen u'll see app details and u have a big button "Move to USB storage".
p.s. hit the thanks button also if u say "thanks all..."

You do not want to move all apps to SD... the ones that cannot be moved are greyed out so you can't move them... These apps, I suppose, are designed to run from your phone memory and cannot be moved.
You can try App2SD app but I recommend leaving those apps alone. But if you decide to force move them, do not move the apps with widgets as moving them will break the widgets.
never used such an app im afraid. im sure there are many, search the markets.
i find it odd that an app of the size u mention comes without the possibility to install or move to external sd.
in any case, i recall i saw somewhere thread or posts about using ADB shell to change a system parameter which makes all apps to be installed on SD card instead of phone internal sd.

These game apps, from my experience, do install the game related files to the internal sd card... not the phone memory... I think the OP is concerned about the fact that since these players only come with 8GB to start with with about 4GB available to users as internal sd, taking 700MB of that leaves little space for everything else... the thing is... external cards are removable... and the game would not function without these files... so that is probably why they are installed on the internal sdcard and not the ex_sdcard... maybe... someone correct me if I am wrong...

it comes with SuperOneClick and its part of Android SDK. do some research first. ADB shell isnt an app or such.

There's plenty of open topics about this. Search for them.
Basically Samsung intended the internal, external cards and dropbox to work as one big storage for all apps, app data and user files... or something like that.
So they disabled the Move To SD option in the app manager. Unfortunately it doesn't quite work like they intended and the external SD is practically useless as most apps (99%) can't read or write to it.
I'm reading around now to see if anything new happened but it's looking grim.
This thread should be closed.
Any updates on this? I still want to move my App Data to the external SD card. In this way my new SGS3 is even worse than my Galaxy Y -.-
as far as I know it does not work with S3. maybe an update coming soon

you cant do it again. samsung wont allow this option anymore. you can close this thread
It works. It requires some handywork though on the shelll.
maybe there will be a noob friendly mod soon for those that want to use .sd card for apps?

I'm just hoping for a custom Rom with App moving, UMS mode and fixed user dictionary so I'm not having to patch up the f**k ups that Samsung made and have it all built in like it should be.

I used Directory Bind App to move my big data esp. game data to my external Sd.It worked perfectly.
bump. having same issue.
[Please move it if wrong thread]
Hi, I just recently played one of the Gameloft games, Wild Blood. Have you try it?
I really like it, the graphics, the gameplay and many things but the problem I found after playing it several level. It save a big size of the game data, from the first town to the second town it already have a data about 50MB saved on our internal memory. I really like this game, but I need more free internal memory. I try to search on Google but did not found the answer that I really needs. So, I did some research(XD). I try to move the data directory to SDcard, to /cache, to /dev and /sdext2 but found no one works like what i've expected. So, still give a try then I move the folder called "Profiling" on the /data/data/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftWBHM/AOWGame/ to the /data/sdext2/data/ the by using Root Explorer I create link to the folder profiling folder.
Detail explaination, after move "Profiling" to /data/sdext2/data/ it will look like /data/sdext2/data/Profiling then tap and hold the "Profiling" until the menu show choose "Link to this folder" then you go to /data/data/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftWBHM/AOWGame/ and tap the "Create Link", you are done. Now the data will be moved to the Ext partition
Try to run the game, I can run it without any problem. Game still can be saved normally.
If you need to un-install the apps you might need to delete the folder on your /data/sdext2/ manually.
Your sdcard need to be partitioned.
This method I made based on my analytics, tested on ext2 partition type and should work on another type of partition too(I think). Also tested on DgunnerZ because it also have a big size of data. Planning to move data of Facebook too..
Disclaimer:
-I'm not an Android Developers, maybe you can call me techno geek
-I'm not responsible if this method will break your phone, btw if it break a phone my phone will be breaked first XD
-The folder I mentioned above is only for Wild Blood, for another application the folder that need to be linked must be difference.
The - effect of this, it might a bit slow down your apps since read and write to sdcard is not faster as on internal memory.
For developers, is this method i'm using ok? Will it have any negative effect? If it good, I hope someone got any idea and can make this way better and easier.
Sorry for my English, hope you can understand.
Nice idea..i had a game which would just hog the internal as the game progressed..so i guess i'll try this..and i think the only side effect maybe that the game would load a liltle slower.. but thats ok.. thanks for the trick..
and btw this should've been in general not q&a..

Look like yes, I got the idea from Link2SD
I can't believe I'm asking one of these "what ROM" questions but what custom ROM/s does XDA have that will have a setting where I can default app installs to the External SD?
My internal 16GB keeps taking a beating & I'm a little tired of the maintenance.
Directory Bind helps for some apps but its not anything close to a complete solution.

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.
