I have an Asus MeMo Pad HD7 and I have alot of Game Apps from Google Play installed on the Tablet's Internal onboard storage and I'm starting to run out of storage space, I know you can't install Game Apps directly to an external SD Card but can the Games be moved to the SD Card from the Tablet's on board storage so I can free up storage space then later on move the Game Apps from the SD Card back to the Tablet's onboard storage? If so what is the process of doing that?
You need some tool like Link2SD (needs root).
i wonder how.. is it just like folder mounting?

Quick question what happens if I do this n switch my sd card with a larger new one if sd goes haywire thanx to all in advance
Shouldn't make any difference. Change it and things should be the same. Assuming you copy everything over from the old one.

I changed the 8gb out to a 16gb and had no problems just do exact copy !!!

Curious why a copy is needed? What is stored on ext sd card after flip flop that is necessary?
I have eclipse running which has that integrated into it.
Another question ...when I download an app and go to.manage application and press move to sdcard. Is it moving the app to the actual external sdcard? I don't see a file for the app in root explorer there and I thought it should have been. I get an initial error on first press of move to sd card but second press always goes through

Okay so i've just noticed that if I unmount sdcard in storage setting I cannot move any apps to sd. I also can't seem to delete anything from .androidsecure cuz I can't mount it as rw. There are things in there I haven't used in months and aren't even on my phone.
So where I read that now we can use our ext sd card for app storage and allow for more internal storage phone space it was wrong. I still cannot put my apps on my REAL sdcard for some reason. Even the ones that say they support being moved to sd card. Im confused
Sorry not trying to hijack here I just don't understand benefit of this flip flop now that I see I can't even put my apps on it at all?
Cuz my app will only "move to sd" when I mount sd card((which is really actual internal at this point)) which doesn't save me any space on the 4gb available ...I am very confused
Sorry ...hope.someone can explain me something if I messing up something. I would LOVE a pm explaining all this lol
Ok, so the moto E classifies its internal memory as sdcard0 and an added sdcard as sdcard1 on root/storage.
My problem is the phone simply never uses my sdcard to store anything. I cannot place obb files on sdcard1/Android/obb for the games to work, and they work when I place em on sdcard0.
I'm running out of space on internal memory. Is there any way I can get the phone to make my phone to recognize the sdcard and prioritize it to install apps and such?
It's a non rooted xt1022. I am willing to root it if it fixes the problem.

Kitkat limits the use of External Sd Cards.
You can only move game apk to sd card also those natively suppprt this.
You may keep songs, videos, apk files etc in external card.
Game data needs to be in internal sd card only.
Yup, you can root and use folder mount, link2sd and other such apps to use external sd card to store app data in obb folder.

Also it is not the question of recognition.
That's how it meant to be.
Sd card is like external drive for storage only.
It can't be used as main memory without root as of now.
If Motorola adds full External Sd Card support in New firmware then thats a different thing.

Hello everyone,
I have 16gb device, and I'm using Folder Mount to deal with the storage space issue. but I remember reading something about expanding the phone's internal storage using SD card, meaning that apps would be installed directly on the SD card. I also read that it is possible to swap the internal storage with the SD card so that the OS sees the card as internal memory and treat it as such. I tried to find up to date information on the subject but I'm not able to.
I'm wondering if this is still applicable on Android 4.4.2. And if it is, could you give me some pointers on what do I need to search for (current method or apps) as I'm a total newbie regarding Android.
Thanks in advance
Anyone??
You can do it using link2sd . you should first partition your ext sd card.

Okay so Link2sd still works.
May I ask, does Link2sd directly install NEW apps on the ext partition, or installs them on internal memory and then move them to the ext partition?
Also, is Link2sd method is the most efficient method to date?
Thanks
Link2sd does not directly install apps on sd card partition. You have to link the app file, library file etc manually by opening link2sd. However you can set it to automatically link your newly installed apps in the setting.Linking can move the app file ,library file etc to ext2,ext3,fat or whatever partition your sytem supports and significantly increases free internal memory.
There is another method without using link2sd .You can search the thread.As for efficiency link2sd method work fine on my device.

I moved my 64GB microSD Card over from my Note 2 until the promo shows up with the 200GB card. When a V10 app makes a data directory on the microSD Card it goes to (from the root) sdcard/program name/data. It says that this is a "Google" requirement. The included "file manager" app cannot find this. What "file manager " sees as "SD card" is actually "/storage/external_SD" out from the root. This has my old stuff from the Note 2 but the V10 is not writing /saving anything in this section. I am using "Super Manager" file manager to get to the root to even get to the new section which the included file manager cannot find.
Did you format to fat32?
The microSD is formated exFat
Coming from note 3 rooted on VZ, I can't write on my sd card in most of it only few programs actually have writing permissions and they are not file managers...
Card was formatted on extfat 128gb...
Samsung for some seem to **** up my sd cards and block them, also I got a 64gb that is readable but I can't format it, can't delete anything and this was coming from s3 to note3...
I was hoping this v10 to fix it all, but waiting for root to change permissions...So frustrating.
Was the SD card encrypted?
No
Are you rooted with the sdcard fix? I am not sure if this phone needed it or not, but I had a note edge before and put my micro sdcard in, and it was just fine.
Hey this is a very useful tool I'm sure this can do the job.

I just downloaded GTA LCS. The game OBB size is around 1.8gb after extraction. The internal memory is not being sufficient. So, how can I play this game? Is there a way of installing the APK in Internal and have it load the OBB from SD Card?
I want to do this the safest way without exposed modules. I'm running CM11.

Well you can format your SD card as Internal memory to increase some storage space ,best bet is to have a class 10 one to ensure performance.

Bro you can use folder mount app from play store which is the best.
Just requires root nothing else.
