Is this possible? I have a 16GB SD Card and can't do anything with it.
I have exactly the same problem, I bought this phone because of it's adreno 320 GPU. So I would be able to play a lot of games, but pretty soon after buying the phone I discovered that 16 GB of storage wasn't enough. So I bought a 64 GB card. Sadly I haven't been able to move my games to my SD card so I just got kind of stuck. Any info will be greatly appreciated
If you are rooted, you can install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD. It requires you to partition your SD card. I used to use it on my Samsung blaze and it worked quite well.

Yep, using it on my HTC Aria. Pretty much a necessity on that device now, with how big all the apps are these days. I think it has like 110MB of available app storage onboard...

Well it depends on the game, but I use FolderMount to make the game data that's normally stored on the internal SD get stored on the external SD.
This only moves the extra game data that normally gets downloaded for games like asphalt.

Thanks for the reply, can you be a little more specific? As far as I know this phone got an emulated SD card or something like that, that's why apps like link 2 SD doesn't work on the phone, so maybe your method works, but I don't understand how to use it

Link2SD doesn't work? It sees my internal SD, extSD, and, though I'm not using one, a spot for 2nd partition. You sure it doesn't work?
As for FolderMount: it scans the apps on the internal memory and allows you to move the data to the SD while creating a link so the app thinks nothing has moved.
For me it found and allowed me to move the 1GB of asphalt 8 data to the SD.

Thanks a lot, right now I'm using folder mount, and it moved 12gb of games files into my SD, that really worked out pretty well, thanks again for giving the folder mount advice. And yes, apps2SD doesn't works properly, at least not in my phone

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.

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.

Hi all
My internal SD is about to filled up while my Ext_SD still has more than 30Gb available out of 64Gb. I have some very big file in the internal SD such as Co-Pilot navigation's map and several games' files like Asphalt 6 & 7 ect ... Those are really big though
I wonder if there is a way to move all of those big files to the Ext-SD? I've heard of something like partitioning the Ext-SD card but don't know how to do it properly so I would really appreciates any instruction / guidance from you experts in the forum
Thanks a lot
Partitioning the external sd is a good idea but not necessary for our phones. I would move pictures and music over the external sd and see if that gives you anymore room.
You can try clearing out some space using the Amaze Memory Clear app from the market or doing it manually from Settings>Storage scroll down till you find Make More Space from the internal storage. You can clear out HTC app caches and temp data and other things it ask you. You'll be surprised how much crap gets saved.
I appreciates your replied and suggestion. Yes I did all that and all of my multi-media files were always on the external SD - even my Titanium backup folder were set on the external but, still, those games from GameLoft and off-line maps that really took all the spaces.
Thank you BTW

Thanks for your input. App2SD only moved app but not it's data. Apps are not a problem in our phone since we have 2,64Gb (internal) partitioned out from the internal SD Card (16Gb) just for apps. More than enough.
It's the data from apps that took spaces and sadly we can not move 'em to the ext-SD. I've also tried the Directory Bind but it's for the SGS2 and it won't works on our phone
Perhaps some of our clever Devs might be interesting of porting the app to our phone someday and that would be great .
Link2SD would be a better option, but it requires kernel support to work.
hey guys its me again, somebidy help me why my micro sd does not respond to my player?

Pretty much this, you can use Titanium Backup to move your games to external storage if you want to, but you need to have root access first.
You can use mode that swaps internal with external.
if i move my game to external using titanium, do my save game exist? or it still detect when the game launch?
thanks for the hints anyways

I'm not sure. As I said before I haven't exactly used this feature at all, but data for apps is saved in a different location than where the apps are installed so I guess it would be alright.

That is not moving game data from android data folder to external sd ..its just for apps that dont support app2sd ..it copyes from device to internal sd card not external.

mistake? no friend, that was no mistake they planned that. ics was a major change in android and the apps to sd card thing is history now (at least in stock roms)
and the reason is that external memory can never be as fast as internal memory in running and executing apps. imo

internal memory is fast i agree, but it is still not faster than class 10 memory cards.
when i transfer data to internal memory it never went above 8 mbps....but with my class 10 memory card i can transfer with 16 mbps speed....so flash memory isnt always the fastest one

It is not history it's optional. It's a feature still embedded in ICS and Jelly Bean but it just needs to be turned on. They made it optional due to the devices like the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 which had no external memory. So having the feature would be pointless. It can be turned on though. I have a couple devices that has it work through your normal system settings.

The main issue with that is majority of consumers that are using these devices have no clue what a class is in relation to SD cards. Hell half of them think SD cards are SIM cards and vice versa and their pictures are on the SIM xD

I know the modern consumer is anything but "brilliant", but pictures on a SIM card? Lol. That may be a touch harsh, though it did get me to laugh.
On a side note, my current devices happen to be the exact same as yours. Fancy that.
Just rooted p769, installed app2sd and want to move apps. When run app2sd get this message:
"the device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary external storage is emulated. Moving app to SD function may not be supported by this device."
any alternatives or any way to remap without app2sd or link2sd? I have not tried link2sd yet but it'll probably be similar. Would like to remap or move apps until JB/CM is available which will likely have it integrated.

Now i have a total of 180 apps, most of them are system, pre-installed, removed most bloatware. Don't want to waste internal storage memory completely, would like to keep some apps in phone and have a few hundred megs free internal, the rest moved to externa sd. Hope it's possible.
On the JB there are app2sd but all data of applications is still saving in phone memory.

Are you saying they initially install on the phone but have the option to move to sd after they are installed or that the option is available but doesn't work to move apps to your sd card.

He's saying that the larger apps such as for example real racing still save the data files to the sdcard. Now the difference is that you can move the actual app to the sdcard.

Yes, sorry for my bad English. We need to root this phone. Jelly bean is great.
I'm so jealous because I have the p769. I hope lg will update soon. I'm hoping with in another week.
How come the sd card shows up as sdcard1 under storage instead of just as the primary for sdcard folder in file explorer and why is it that when trying to save downloads from say next browser the external sd is not an accessible option?
External memory cards are NOT primary, the internal flash memory is primary. Android support for external memory is minimal, even games install to internal memory.

File explorer apps or a PC. With a computer it's easier to move files obviously.
However I wasn't referring to game files or apps, because those only check the internal card. If you have music or pics, docs, etc, those can be moved to external manually.

Well, once I readed that you can make the phone think that the location of your games folder is located on the mSD but I lost the info, if I'm not wrong, they used a console command, but I don't know the command he was using.
The thing is that this phone is like a small console, but games take a lot of space, and I use the internal storage of the phone for more important stuff like maps and documents and having such a big card it will be great if you could save games in external storage.
Well, any way thanks thanks again for the replay
