Hello i own an HTC Wildfire S and i'm having issues with it because of it's low internal memory, ~130mb for apps.
I've been playing a japanese game called Puzzle & Dragons for over 6 months and have made in-app transactions but now i can't play it on my phone anymore due to the game reaching over 200mb in total. I've followed a youtube guide on how to install apps directly to the SD card but that didn't help me because the app still downloads all the updates to the internal memory (which is over 180mb alone).
My phone is not rooted and i've read reports that the game does not work on rooted devices.
Any help whatsoever would be highly appreciated.
This was the youtube guide i followed: watch?v=3fZc1A73RJs

Hey guys, I have a few things I was hoping someone can help me with;
1. how can I set my apps to be stored in the external SD card? I went to the settings on the phone but there's no option to change the storage location. I know I can just drag files into the SD card but I don't see the files for the apps (ex: wild blood which is over 2gb or order and chaos)
2. being that this is a quadcore phone with 2gb ram, I expected to run the ds emulator near full speed but it's running at the same speed as it did on my galaxy s2. I even had the quadcore enabled in the settings on the phone. Is this lag an issue of the emulator itself? the N64 emulator runs smoother on the optimus g, why doesnt the DS emulators? any suggestions?
--thank you.
The addtional data that large games download must stay on the internal sd card. If you follow my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056662 you can move the data to the external sd but trick the system into thinking it's on the internal.
Native app2sd hasn't worked in android since honeycomb. Google is really trying to get rid of external sd cards in android. However, if you read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2022773 mainly post 5 and 10 you can set up link2sd which works perfectly.
You can use both options together or separately. Both require root.
EDIT: Since it took forever to find the second link, I added the information about Link2SD to my main thread.
Yes, I have used the above mod to move game data to the external, wild blood included.
Works great. Read the thread.
I have not used apps to SD, as the apps themselves don't take up much room.
As for the emulator, it runs very slow for me too.
It is still being developed. It is known to be slow, It isn't the phone, it is the emulator.
oh alright. Thank you both for helping me
I have a sprint Evo 3D, rooted with the SmoothCriminal rom.
The miniscule internal memory drove me crazy, it got to the point where after the ICS update I coudlen't update a SINGLE app because the internal memory always had under 10 megs free, no matter how much I deleted it would eat it up again, so I rooted it, and started re-installing everything.
I even set up a 4GB (Wish I could make it bigger) EXT4 partition to use with Link2SD.
For those that haven't heard of the Humble Indie Bundles, they allow you to purchase a set of apps (usually on Steam, but sometimes they do Android bundles) as a set for a price you decide, with a percentage going to charity.
Anyway, for Android, since these don't use the Google Play store, they are side-loaded from their own app (though they also let you just download the APK directly).
Now, the problem is that none of the games from this bundle seem to install to the SD card. I know that not all apps can be moved there, but if the "Move to SD" option is enabled instead of greyed out, that means they can, right? Also, many of these are large games, some of them 400MB, I am surprised it even defaults to internal instead of SD and would be shocked if they are the kind of apps that cannot be installed to SD considering their size.
Anyway, while Link2SD has no problem linking them to the 4ext partition on the SD card, I am unable to move these to "external" either by the built-in app manager, or the Link2SD app (apps installed using other methods, wheather they are linked or really on internal memory, don't seem to have this issue, such as Apps installed through Google Play whether they were linked to the 4ext partition or installed to the real internal memory). With the App manager it just says "Coulden't move app" (what a helpful error message) while trying from Link2SD gives me the error "INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR".
Thanks to these massive apps forcing themselves on internal, the 4GB 4ext partition is actually full!
Any ideas what I can do? This is making me pull my hair out.
Hi Guys.. I just wanna ask regarding Apps/games came from Google Play and Apps/games manually installed using APK.
1. Does apps/games came from APK(manually download outside google play) installed in Internal or External memory? if its in Internal is it possible to move it in External. 100% or some?
2. When you install the games using APK(manually download outside google play) file and that particular games got an update in Google Play, will you able to update that game using google play?
3. Does every apps/games from Google Play is directly installed in Internal memory and cant be transfer to external memory?
4. Scenario: A certain App/game is 50 mb(installed in internal) then you'll transfer this to external. Does all 50 mb will go in external and or theres still a certain amount of date left in internal and cant be trasfer to external
5. What are some difference between App/games from google play and APK.
P:S. No Rooting
Thanks.. Iam asking this because iam planning to buy Tab S 8.4, and it only offer 16 gb here in the Phillipines and i dont know if its enough for me. Also, its not exactly 16 gb, i guess its about 9 or 10 gb left.
hi,
I'm thinking about buying a note 3 pro and the 16gb / 2gb version is really cheap right now. I think I won't have problems having 2gb ram instead of 3gb, I rarely multitask and most of the time I close programs which I don't use. but I don't know about the 16gb internal space ... seems really little. is there some way to merge internal + sd without android 6.0? or some other way?
Well, I use an application called foldermount it moves heavy game files to SD card.. ROOT REQUIRED.. also try installing aosp ROM it has a lot of bloatware removed so has more internal space available

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
does foldermount work on any game?
while charging my phone reaches 45 Celsius as given in entering info is it normal?
Foldermount won't help. Only obb to sd xposed module or aosp where you can move every app you want. It's funny because on miui you can't ?
Foldermount can only move big game data files..
Sorry for necroposting but maybe someone still will need the answer, so there it is:
Apps2SD, a brilliant app for doing this job
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd.pro&hl=pl
It also has a free version.
With this you can move .apk files of the games or other apps,
also OBB of big games are movable to the microSD card.
It moves the files to the external microSD card and creates links to the moved content, so the phone
can "think" it's in internal
I'm using this on my Redmi Note 2 and Redmi 3 and the games and apps are working without problems.
But be sure to use a class 10 microSD card, not any lower speed. (And check the condition of your microSD card
before you put it in the phone, for example with free HD Tune on Windows.
You may not want using a card with bad sectors )
Apps2SD it's convenient, reliable when you set it correctly, and it has a nice interface i think.
Not a bloatware and it has some very useful options like partitioning tool, storage info (space) check,
and a backup tool!
Also very good help thread here on XDA
As a 16GB kenzo user, DON'T BUY THE 16GB ONE AND GO FOR THE 32GB VERSION
Here are some of the difficulties:
Google Camera mod: You're gonna definitely use it when you have this device. It doesn't have a save2sd option so you can't shoot videos for long. Add in mind that more ram let's you process hdr+ photos with higher quality. On lower ram devices you have a higher chance of F.C.
Games: You already know.
Multitasking: Definitely 3GB ram is a better choice. I wish I had enough money to buy the 32GB variant. I can't run another app if I'm playing some kind of game. The game automatically closes.
Okay so I use my Galaxy Tab E literally to play games.. I rooted yesterday with the help of the fantastic guide on this forum. The TWRP one. I only decided to root because I wanted to run the games via my SD card. So I again used this forum to find a way to do it and found someone talking about a thing called foldermount. So I did that and all the data is on my SD card yet it is still taking up the space on the internal side even though I've been through the file system and cannot find it. So I am wondering if there is something I can do to free up the space. The games I am playing are Fifa Mobile and Real Racing.. I had to remove Asphalt 8 and Angry Bird and a bunch of other stuff. I even disabled half of the crap google downloads into my tablet and uninstalled updates on almost all of the apps on there.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :good:
