Move apps to SD
You can easily move your games to SD with "ES File Explorer"
but you need enable root acess to this application, so you can move all kind of data stored on your phone.
For non rooted phones, there are some applications that cant be moved to SD card
So the first step is obtain the root acess to your phone

No. Swapping is the easiest thing to do.

Provided u got class 6 or above microSD.
If not, swapping will cause slow boot up of apps.
I think It will better if you can afford class 10 to swap between external and internal storage..

Hey guys, I did a quick search and couldn't find an answer. Basically, I'm having trouble with TWRP -- it won't mount/recognize my SD card at all. All the advice I've seen so far is to format the microSD card as fat32. Unfortunately, this fix doesn't work for me, as my SD is already formatted to fat32.
Are there any other alternate options?
Thanks!
EDIT: this is on TWRP 2.3.2.3
you probably need to update TWRP. If you rooted using the Galaxy Note 2 tool kit, it's a slightly older version. Here's the thread on TWRP, which you can find the latest version.
I think i'm on the newest version. I updated it a couple days ago using goo manager to 2.3.2.3, which seems to be the newest one
that would be the newest. I had that problem till I updated. My SDXC card is formatted in NTSF. Maybe, you need to reformat it in your phone.
yea, I'll try that. wish me luck

Strange I threw my brand new 64gb in and it recognize it. Showed 59.45gb. I still formatted it and showed 59.47 now

That's about right for available space you'll get. But can you mount or browse the card in twrp?

It seems that I can't format my SD card through TWRP. The phone itself sees the SD card just fine except when inside TWRP

I'll check in a little bit phone is dead and cycling battery. But my 32gb showed up. Are you sure you're not changing it to show external storage
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
you need to go into advance menu, file manager. Then you need to look externalSDCard directory or similar name. That's your SDXC card. Don't use that external/internal option in one of the other menus.
This tends to be case in some of the file manager apps as well such as ES File Explorer.
ok, so, it seems it's not under external_sdcard, but under sdcard. So I guess to access the sdcard i have to go through that. Thanks for the help
Is there any way I can change the default backup location for TWRP to use the SD card? I can't backup to internal storage since I don't have enough space
I had a similar issue with this 2 days ago. ..Could not mount the 64gig sd card in trwp but works fine on the phone. ..I updated to the newest twrp yesterday and that resolve the issue. ..

I don't understand your problem when you go to twrp click install, you have the option to check to either internal or external right at the top.

This internal/external partition card storage is kinda hidden in plain sight...presuming the OP's SD card isn't toast.

Hidden in plain sight, really not that hard to see lol. If you can't take the 3 seconds to look where it says internal or external you shouldn't even bother trying to worry about it simple as that.

Tapping on "use external SD" just has it snap back to "use internal storage" and the error message "unable to mount '/external_sdcard'" comes up. So no, it's not that I'm blind.
IDK if someone asked this already but is there a way to make sd card the primary save location instead of phone storage? I have a 32gb card and even though its much easier now to transfer files when hooked up to cpu I still prefer to save things to my card then decide what to keep on my phone storage.....
No it's not possible. Apps MUST be stored in the internal memory, which is one of the most talked about issues with the newer Samsung phones. You can only store your pictures and videos taken by the camera in the external memory.

it's not an, 'issue' with Samsung phones, it's a jelly bean 'issue' and there are workarounds like link2sd and other apps that do this for you... I'm not installing every 2gb game on the playstore on my phone so I haven't run into memory problems, yet. lot of people given ill advice

It is possible to swap internal sd to external sd with a cwm/twrp flashable zip file mod.
Here is the link to the thread, it will say Galaxy S3 but it also works on other phones
but since the S4 is so new right now, the OP did not update his thread.
It should work on our Galaxy S4 too and it cannot hurt anything to try it.
It does not format the internal or external sdcard and it does not delete any files.
Here is the link where you can get a lot more information about it and download it
if you decide to give it a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772234
Good luck with it.

What are the dangers of doing this?
The dangers are that if you try it you will not be able to return to this thead and report if it works or not. Many have tried, but ALL have failed! None have come back to tell about it! (as you can see, I have not yet tried it, but if I don't respond again, you will know that I did finally try it)

Check the i9505 Development forum. I believe most, if not all of their modded/stock ROMs do. Just be sure to flash a T-Mobile kernel after flashing a ROM from any other section that this one.

Nice thanks:good:
I heard the built in App to SD isnt very efficient and doesnt move all apps properly. But FolderMount is an app that does the job perfectly, and i highly recommend it. This one works on every ROM and ive used it to fill up my 64GB external SD card without any issues. All apps and everything moved wih this app function 100% properly.

Apps and games. You just mount the directories of the apps or games that are saved to your phone over to directories that it can automatically create for you or that you make on your SD card.

Doesn't do anyhing but cause issues. I already had files for madden12 on sd card after I used folder mount and switched files to ex card it asks me to download files again for the game. So it's useless to me. Waiting on elesbb app or somebody to come up with a switch mount script that works for all files.

Thats very strange because my apps did that with every single other app to sd card method, and would always make me re download, but this has worked for everything. Every gameloft game, every non gameloft game like Real Racing 3, works perfect. Even apps like skype and whatsapp or anything works flawlessly when i mount it to my external SD.

Did it ever give you a faulty module popup saying it needed to be patched? Cause that popped up every time i opened it for the first time and i patched it and then you have to reboot and then it works.

i would recommend trying again. When you first open and let it load it should give you that popup. Allow it to fix the fault, and then reboot the phone and it should work.

I tried it. It leaves the files in the original location (after selecting "yes" to allow them to be moved to the SD card). I confirmed they were on the SD card, but nothing was moved from the phone. What's the point? Doesn't free up any space. I tried deleting the files from the phone after they were "moved" to the SD card, and the app would not run. Error message about the SD card not being mounted.
What's the point if the files must be in both locations?? Saves no space.

From what I understand the app performs a mount with 'bind' option, the disk usage is not accurate as the system 'thinks' these files still reside on the internal sd, but are actually located on the ext. SD.

You guys should try GL to SD Root works better than folder mount or directory bind. I used it to move 7 gb's of game data to my ex card. Helped me out alot.

Oh. I see. A symbolic link, so if I delete file from what appears to be the phone, I'm actually deleting files on SD card. I get it. Thanks for clearing that up.
After flashing a couple of different 4.4 Roms (beanstalk and cm11) I am unable to move apps from internal to external SD card. Play store apps won't work and my internal memory is now so limited that I can only install a few apps. Anyone else with this issue and any suggestions for fix? Thank you...

After doing some digging with Root Explorer, I found my phones data hidden in root/data/media/android and ended up manually cutting and pasting pictures, etc. to my sdcard 1 (external). That freed up some space!
