Hey guys, i bought my Galaxy Grand a few days ago and i'm a bit confused with some things.
First of all, i really need to root my phone to move large apps to my SD card?
There is any side effect of using the method mentioned before in this forum? (ext2int if i'm not wrong)
Now i'm using a small sd card (4gb, but i'm going to buy a 16gb class 10 soon), if i change my internal storage to use my sd card i'll still be able to install things into the phone memory?
Could someone point out a tutorial please.
And about rooting, i saw to methods here in the forum, wich one is the best?
There is any difference between the firmware for GT - I9082 and GT - I9082L when trying to flash a pre rooted one?
Last question, i tried the epic citadel benchmark in my phone and a lot of artifacts showed up in my screen, it is a problem with my phone or its application fault?
Thanks in advance.
i rooted mine right after it arrived. i did not use ext2int after all. i find it rather confusing that i cannot replace my sd card.
i am finde with the internal memory. even after installing some bigger games. so i cannot comment on the advantages disadvantages.
i can tell you to not take the 9082L versions if you are having a 9082 phone.
the rooting method in this forum works fine and is not harming your phone.

1.Yes, your phone HAS to be rooted to move apps.
2. NO side effects, just swaps your int and ext memory so i reccomend a 32 gb ext sd card.
3. For example,In large games, the data will be stored in android/data which is in the phone memory. But after swapping, your phone memory size will be of the size of your sd card, so no issue of space.
4. Rooting- USE CHOTU'S GUIDE(SEARCH THE FORUM)
Rom- k2wl or balli's rom(SEARCH THE FORUM).
PLS HIT THANKS IF I HELPED!!!

You mentioned two roms in your answer, do i need to flash one of those or can i just flash de Su binaries + CWM and install super su?
May I answer you? He suggested the 2 deodexed roms if you are interested on flashing mods. Just having root is enough for using ext2int or titanium backup for example but you need deodexed to use mods.

I wanna ask, since 3+ Gig free space for games + apps. If I mounted sdcard and install apps+games, will it goes to external sdcard? Because new phone up to Galaxy Note 2 will not having the features move to sd. Plus, for that particular phone, internal memory is not a problem as they having at leave 11Gig.

hey guys .. can anyone help me to find a way to let my samsung install aps directly to extSdCard ? cuz my internal memory is getting full !!
i tried many applications that move s applications from a memoy to another but it dint work with me </3
so .. please if there is anyway to do that .. HELP!!
I've heard that in older phones you could use an ext3 partition on your sd card in addition to the normal fat32 partition, and then use link2sd to move parts of apps to the ext3 partition, but I haven't heard of anyone doing it with an s3. Search around for link2sd and try it out if you want/can. I've been considering testing it with an extra card I have, just haven't gotten around to it.

You must have the 16gb version? Exactly why I got the 32gb, you can't choose where to install or move apps like you used to be able to do. I do hope they come out with a workaround though for all the 16gb'ers. The whole "but it has a microSD slot" deal is BS since you can really only use it for camera, music, and video file storage.
Move big apps to external SD. Search on directorybind in these forums.

Hello All,
I just got my note about 1 week (SGH i317M) ago really enjoying it,
but couple question is still a wonder in my head..
i come from an iphone world so all this, is confusing for me
1) Could you root while keeping all your things intact (base band, kernel, build)?
2) Also ive seen couple threads saying that you can't use a micro sd card has an internal drive,
Does my phone has to be rooted to be able to do this?
3) Let say i custom root my phone is there a way back to revert the official samsung firmware if i don't like it
4)how come i don't have multi window on my device is it part of a new android Version right now i'm on 4.1.1?
Thanks
1) Yes. Check out chainfire's auto root in the original android section. It's the best rooting method for beginners.
2) I don't quite understand what you mean. Both FAT32 and Exfat format micro sd work in my note2. However, note2 doesn't allow you to move apps to sd card. There are workarounds that can help with that issue (such as: external to internal swap / Directory bind) but those of course require root. Again, I'm not sure I understood the question correctly.
3) Yes. You just need to flash stock firmware over again or factory reset.
4) You need to update your firmware. Two of my friends who bought note2 didn't get multiwindow out of the box even though it was 4.1.1. They got it once they updated.
What I understand

I think he means "Can he use the SD card as an internal drive?". That is the SD card as internal memory.
He comes from iPhone world so he may not be able to frame the question properly.
Well you can always move the apps to the SD card it is a default Android feature.
But it still occupies some internal memory.
However, to partition the SD card and to use a partition as extended drive SD-EXT you need to root I guess.
Hi there,
Its my first post so please ignore if I am repeating this querry.
BTW I am using my note II and its been great experince so far.
What I want to know is that:-
1.I found out that I cannot have games more than the devices memory as internal memory gets full and I have to delete some game every time when i am installing a new one, the more pain is that in this thing i also have to lose my all saved data.
2. Cant receive files to SD card when ever internal memory is full,although i have 32 gb ext card totally free, It's very heartbreaking to face this issue on a best phone.
Please tell me the best possible solution to these to issues. I'll be very thankfull to you all.
Other details:
I am not rooted and also don't want to do it.

Unfortunately for you rooting is the only solution if you want to move apps or install them on your external memory directly. Just in case you decide to finally root your phone you can use apps like directorybind or apps2sd... They work perfectly fine as long as you follow exact instructions.

Hi bushako,thanks for helping.
kindly let me know if i root, am I i able to retain my saved game data also? and if i want to play the same game after deleting it can i get the same working with saves?
also let me know other best apps for this whole thing.
Yes rooting will not format or erase your apps/saved games. It's just a matter of letting certain apps have access to your root directory which by default is disabled, there are many threads on instructions on safely rooting your phone. As for retaining the saved game after deleting the app I'm not sure but I think the only way is to manually access the files where the saved games are stored and backing them up. Another method I would choose is by using Titanium Backup app, but it will require rooting. It will allow you to backup all or individual games onto the external sd card including there data. So that you can restore the game with the saved data anytime in the future.

Best thing is to root and use the mod to switch your internal sd and external sd... so the phone reads your 32gb ext sd card as internal and installs all your games on it with the data

I am rioted and am running on full stock. How to use apps2sd to move it to the mem card ?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
@ KyleDevlin12....dont use that stupid apps2sd..it doesnt work dude....the best and ONLY solution is use directory bind...soo easy to use...in 3 steps your games are in your external memory...Or another method...if you want to use the mod which change the external into internal memory ...than u have to buy a 64 gb sd card..otherwise it isnt worth to use this mod.
So from my own experience ....Directory bind is the king in this case.
hope i helped you out.
Best Regards.
Not quoting many post, just to add
-Root device
-Root won't erase anything (though always prefer backup), even rooting only can backup game level etc.
-Directory bind i recommend. This also survice your data while factory reset. Read This

Hi all,
I am thinking of getting an Arc S as they are priced well atm but worried about the 1gb space.
I read about Link 2 SD letting you install all apps to the memory card after rooting the phone and formatting the SD card in EXT format.
BUT does this work with the factory ICS rom or does it have to be one from here? also whats the max space the new EXT can be?
Thanks
Tom

Link2SD should work with any ROM
Yeah but i think it also need a kernel that supports ext, so i guess no stock (and yes unlock bootloader)
I dont know how much space you can set, but im currently using 2 GB and no problem so far.
Hello fellow s4miniers
I have just moved from a bad experience with iphones to galaxy s4 mini I updated to kitkat and rooted it. The main issue I hated about the phone is that when you choose the move to sd for apps and games options, it only moves the app itself but not the large app data files.
For example, I got Need For Speed with 2GB of data still stuck in the internal memory while the sd is useless in this concern even when I move the app to the sd. The app large data files stay in the internal memo. This really bugs me . who has this problem too? Is there a solution for it? :-\

I tried Link2sd and still it does not solve the issue it only moves the app but not the large data files. there are custom firmwares that make your device read the eXT-sd as internal and internal as sd but none of them is available for my model. Besides, these CFWs are glitchy and not stable and slow the phone big time. Nevertheless, this lends androids more useless to me compared to iOS in this concern.

I like folder mount to move directories to extsd
sent from my i9192 with CM11 by sekil
Folder Mount let you choose directories (you can choose the big ones) to move to external SD, as said fburgos. I had 3 games with 2GB each, all in external SD, and had 2 GB of free space in internal memory.
