You can use Link2SD for the apk's if you have root.
I have not found a way to move the app data folders to the external sd card.

From searching I'm guessing he's talking about this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
I have not tried it, but I want something to move the Gameloft games to the external SD, so I'm will try it later.

LINK2SD doesn't work right after download, but if you need something simple it won't do.
you need to configure the SD using your computer.

Just wrote an explanation of Link2SD here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34652966&postcount=6

When I execute it asks: Select "Download" to begin...
Then it says Download in progress... 5% 5/100...
After a long time asks me to retry, again and again...
Sounds like a question for EA.

The folder inside of the rar needs to be placed on the root of your sd card. not the rar.
It goes as /.madden10

yep. Make sure to unzip the rar as .madden10 so it creates a folder called .madden10
then put the folder on the sd card root.
Run the game.
is this the demo version or a full copy?

the animations might be easy to fix by editing the screen size file in .madden10 to our screen size like 450x800 or somethin? i know right now its set at the droid 1's ratio which is like 480x854, but i cant find a file for the field .png or uniform .png for the players.. hmm
Black field
I have a black field and ghost players. Is there an updated version?
link to folder data not working. can anyone repost ?
Bump still looking for the folder data for this original link gving 404 error. can anyone provide this ?
Have the apk but says need to download data and then just sits there.

[Q] Stock Rom: Unable to write to SDCard

Just purchased a SM-T800 and was wondering if there is an easy fix for me to be able to write to my SD Card? Do I need to be root to be able to do this ?

Kit Kat changed the way sd cards work.
The easiest way i know to fix this is to Root your device and then install this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
I have the tab s 8.4 and have a micro SD card coming in this week. I might be misinterpreting this post but does Kit-kat really not let the user copy over downloaded files onto external storage? I'm the kind of guy that usually immediately roots but was enjoying the stock experience for once. Definitely a bummer if this turns out to be true.
No, it let's you do it fine. But you have to use the My Files app. Not the app of your choice. Unless you root and change that.
whit this fix App sd card? i try to resolve the problema with large torrents i try todownload directly to my sdcard becuace torrent say cant find the location of folder when i choose microsd download folder to download files ...
Thank you for your reply.
Will follow your instructions this weekend. Thanks again Galactic2.

With this app, you DON'T have to ROOT your device, and you can copy/move file from device to SD-card vice versa:

You need to be rooted and applied the app to sd card fix before you can download torrents direct to sd card. Otherwise you can download straight to your tablet then transfer to sd card using the my files app.

You can't transfer apps to SD , from the Playstore "AT ALL", unless you are ROOTED.

I cannot copy or move anything using ES. The only workaround I found is connect the tablet to a PC and copy or move the files with widows explorer.

Tried the app you linked and unfortunately it did not work. My problem was finally resolved with the Wanam Xposed application SD card fix. That works fine if anyone else has any trouble. But honestly it is so irritating that any of this is necessary to get full use of my device. I am rocking 128 gigabytes loud and proud
Okay well maybe not. Big file I was moving to SD is now gone and I can longer write to the SD. Bummer. No idea what went wrong.
Second edit: so the JRummy Apps "SD Fix" on the Play Store seems to have me covered for now. Fingers crossed...
Third edit: Gahh once again read only. No idea what the issue is. SD appears empty, can't read or write. Any help would be appreciated. For now I have a useless slice of plastic sitting in my otherwise perfect tablet.

I had this problem with my 32gb sandisk card, it even said made for android on the packaging but it was very unreliable, sometimes there and sometimes not, even tried the usual test apps for these sdcard on my pc and they reported genuine with no errors. In the end i decided to buy a samsung 64gb card and it works reliably with stock apps but i have not got around the kitkat restriction cos i dont want to root yet.

path for external sd card ?

I'm trying to get an app to work and have to write a path for the external sd card, can I just use /storage/external_SD ?
try this.

use this it might help
You can get the path of sdcard from this
code:
String path = Environment.
getExternalStorageDirectory
().getAbsolutePath();
Then specify the foldername and file
name.
if you are using an emulator, double-check
to make sure that you have filled in a
value for the SD Card size.
for kk permission is changed I hope you know.
I can provide code for it also.
for kk-
Your app can not read shared files on the external
storage when running on Android 4.4, unless your app
has the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. That
is, files within the directory returned by
getExternalStoragePublicDirectory() are no
longer accessible without the permission. However, if
you need to access only your app-specific directories,
provided by getExternalFilesDir() , then you do
not need the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission

[Q] why can't i delete files on my phone ?

im trying to with ramp while listening to music , and it says that it has been deleted , but then i am able to find it in the folder.
afterwards i tried to play music trought es file explorer which is also has delete option . tried it there and still no luck .
any suggestions ?
guys?
In Android 4.4.2 you can not delete files from the memory card.
There probably is a fix somehow.. but perhaps only for rooted phones.
Possibly move the files to internal storage then delete from there?

You can delete the files on the SD card with the stock LG file explorer app that comes with the phone.
