My internal SD card was not allowing me to update, for lack of space, so I moved the camera folder to my external SD card using Astro. There was a duplicate folder, so I chose to rename it. It went through all the hundreds of files, I saw through the progress bar, but when it finished, the created destination folder shows as empty. Files gone from original location. What can I do to make files show in the destination folder?

This is exactly why I never keep photos, videos and music on my SDCARD unless I have a backup. SDCARD's are too unpredictable for me to trust them with information that is not backed up in another location.

Certain apps tend to save data on the phone's internal storage which is named "sdcard". So in order to trick those apps to save data on my external sdcard(sdcard2), would it be okay to rename the "sdcard" to "internal storage" and rename "sdcard2" to "sdcard"?
Would that cause any problems?
I like to keep my apps stored on my phone's storage and keep everything else (music, videos, pictures, browser downloads) on my actual sd card.
do it in windows explorer; i renamed mine and it works well still
Could you explain how you did this. I have tried a couple different ways and i am having no luck renaming my sd card file.
I am sure with custom roms we can swap the mount points if we want.

But that's not renaming the folder itself as the phone sees it, that's just modifying what the computer knows to call it in Explorer when you hook it up.
OP, I tried changing it myself and it wouldn't work. I don't think it's possible until root comes along and we can modify file system data and the like. Sucks, and it's stupid that HTC thought it'd be a good idea to name it SDcard, but we're stuck with it for now

Not much worse than moto bionic Havering internel storage as sdcard, and the actual SD card, sdcard-ext.

That's the exact case here. Internal storage on the Rezound is "SDCARD" and the acutal SD Card is "SDCARD2" or "ext_sd" - those two folders are mirrors of each other.
Hi all
can I move data from phone to sd card? I have already root permission, but with 2 program installed from market store don't work, is normal?

for the moment not possible! Maybe in the future someone will make a rom who supports that
Gl to sd card only moves files. Apps will not work later. For example, I moved Max Payne to external sd card, and then when I launched the game, it asked to download missing files. What we need over here is an app that will automatically rout to sd card when clicked.
I tried App2SD, Link2SD and GLtoSD and none worked except for breaking Google Play, the only solution i found was Directory Bind.

Thanks, will give it a try. Weird thing, i've spent like an hour trying to figure out why can't move apps to sd...
Well Directory Bind can't move Apps it only moves folders, so you can move all the SD data and some of the folders containing the Apps but when you move it you have to leave the original folder on internal memory because it makes it impossible to delete, so you just have to delete the contents.
Anyone tried "super mount".app made by lidroid
Would this work?
I opened the script file using notepad, would you just change where it says "external_sd" to "extSdCard" and it would bind the folder and allow games to access the data from the external SD?
Just asking because I'm not sure if this would work on the S3...
It appears that prior to the JB 4.1.2, the external sd card was mounted as
/sdcard/external_sd
After the update, it is now
/storage/extSdCard
Some of my apps disappeard because of this. And my TiBu could not locate the backup folder and I had to re-do it.
Is there a fix for this?
In the settings of TB you can search and choose the backup folder.

I just used TB as an example.
Other apps are the same. I'd hate to go each apps, one by one, just to change folder.
If I remount the folder, I'm sure it will dupe the files.
You can copy paste everything from old folder to new folder.
I know this is an age old question, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I was wondering what my best option was to get apps and/or their data onto my microsd card. I've tried the method with Directory Bind, but I wasn't to big a fan. Just looking for a point in the right direction, for the easiest/quickest/best method.(I have already rooted my phone, so rooting isn't an issue)
Also while I'm here what's the best method of free tethering, again with the rooted ability.
Same here! I've tried the foldermount method and using shortcuts with the root explorer in Rom manager to no avail. But, for someone with some knowhow, I've accidentally got it to work with Spotify. I don't know for the life of me what I have done, but between hours of using the above to methods, Spotify is now on my external Sd card. I can uninstall spotify, wipe data, cache, the whole nine yards and when I reinstall, boom, straight to my sd card. I can reformat my sd card, and when I install spotify, it will create a folder named Android/data/com.spotify.mobile.android.ui folder. on my sd card. All the songs i download goes in the same directory just like it did under sdcard0 on the internal memory. But now, I can't replicate this at all. I'm trying with zedge, but no luck. If I find anything, I'll post back to this thread.
I downloaded a couple of apps,but when i open ES file explorer i cant find the apps,it suppose to be in the download folder.I did check in the sd card0 and in the ext sdcard and no lock.

First time I tried with Directory Bind I was able to move the game file to the sd, but when opening the app it requires downloading the files, so it can't find them in the new Directory. The next time was short lived because I couldn't find files for most recent app

Anyone know how I could find out where the apps were installed to. I'm trying a different method but I can't find where the app was installed
?

Doesn't titanimum backup allow this? I've never personally tried it but I thought I saw a move app to SD card option.
From what I understand this cant be done on JB.

Switched from iPhone to S4.. Everything is on my SD card.. 16GB total, how do I have 108MB? Is there something I have on my phone that needs to be deleted that isn't showing up?
Look in your file explorer and see if you put pics or music in your device maybe before you stuck the external card in.. You may also have 2 copies, one in each place.
Check out "clean master" app too!

Under device, I see 2 SDs. 0 and extSdCard. I'm assuming 0 is internal since it says (9.52/9.62GB).
So I'm assuming things like TitaniumBackUp files are located there.. Thought they were in my external.. Any way I can move this to external, or is it not possible yet?

You can try moving your current Titanium Backup folder in your internal storage to your sd. I would recommend starting fresh and deleting your current Titanium folder in internal. Then go to your Titanium app, menu button and click on preferences, then scroll down to backup folder location and search for your SD location and create a new folder. All your apps will then save to your SD. Hope that helps.

That freed up about 500MB. Still seems like something is really off. In /storage, there are 3 folders.. sdCard0, extSdCard, and emulated. Seems like emulated is the problem? Has 2 folders within that (legacy and 0) which seems to be copies of sdcard0..

They are copies but they aren't duplicates if that makes any sense. Both are links to the same data.

Ok, gotcha. Do you know of anything else on my phone that's keeping my memory so low? Only about half of it is used and when looking through the phone I don't see anything that could be affecting the memory.. There should be about 7GB freed, not 500MB..

Thanks! Last question: the 16GB S4 actually comes with about 10GB out of the box, 6GB for system files & all, and on top of that, bloatware is about 3.5GB correct? Why is my System data showing 8GB... What the hell is even in there..
EDIT: NVM, lol.. Found out it was my back ups... oops.

You can't scroll to folders. You actually have to type the location. The correct location ins /mnt/extSdCard.
