I am running cyanogen mod 10.1 and I tend to play alot of big games that requires typically >1gb and i have close to no room left in my internal storage and have like 10 gigs left on my external and I dont have a way to install them onto their. I've already tried all types of apps2sd apps and none have worked. Is their a way to put these games on my external sd?
Unfortunately no.

I have same issue, I'm about to try to move game data to external and create a simlink from gme folder to external. Maybe that could work. Dunno. :beer:

I just have used the first method. It does work. To make sure I redid it a few minutes ago. Works perfectly. Are you on TW, CM, or AOSP ?

I'd say to use this app: FolderMount.
Great app, frequent updates, and I've used it myself and can confirm it works. Not to mention that I believe the dev made it, among other reasons, to solve this issue with huge games.
I gonna look into this. And the changing the external to internal

Nope :/ like App2SD and make the internal storage 3GB.
Sent from my R800x using XDA
3 ways
There are few ways to get more space:
1st- move all the apps you can to the SD,
from Settigs->Apps->Apps Admin
2sd- Use and app that let you move your apps
even when the system does not let you.
(you need to be root)
3r- Mount all your apps in a virtual memory
on the SD. This decrease speed and battery but
let you have unlimited space.
(swapper app, need also to be root)

There is absolutely no way to make internal storage get up to 3gb. The method that was posted in the development section doesn't work on R800x. You'll have to use some form of a2sd or link2sd.

It works... Figured it out. 2.45GB
Hey peeps. I finally got fed up running out of storage and went searching for something to fix it. Modern combat 3 takes up 1.4 gigs and Nova takes even more. With this app I can move their external data to the external SD card freeing up more room for more games.
I didn't create this app, just wanted to let people know about it. Remember you need to use the app to open these games once you move their data, otherwise they will just re download their files again.
Feel free to ask me any questions and I'll try and help if I can.

It says that it's not compatible with my device, but I changed the3 build.prop back to say that I have a S3 not a Nexus, and google play let me install it. I will report back when i get to try some apps.

Good. Should work fine. I noticed a couple times it wouldn't launch asphalt 7 so I checked the setting to clear cache when launching a game and that seems to have fixed it. Let me know if there are any other issues you run into.

The one I posted does more than game loft games as well. You can add any application that allows the installation of data to external cards. But whatever. Choices are good.

The vast majority don't need to be moved. But I have yet to find an app over 50 megs that I couldn't move so it's possible you are doing something wrong.

I Decided to move all my music to my ext. Sd card. I went into root explorer and just moved the whole folder over. I when I go to my storage now, it shows that the 1.24 gigs of music was sucxefully transfered to external but the 1.24 gigs still shows up as misc. On my internal sd. I went to the dcim folder and there are no remnants of any of it. I cleared my dalvik and even used sd maid pro, and still no luck. any ideas of why it's still showing up on my internal? Also my cover art doesn't show up on ayer pro anymore T. Y. I. A:beer:

I'm very interested in this too! My only lasting complaint with my phone is not being able to have Google Music save music to the external card. If anyone can help figure this out I'd be so happy.
I love Google and android but I hate how they keep pushing external cards away and pushing the cloud so hard.

a duplicate of the /sdcard also resides at /data/media. you can only access this folded if you are rooted and have a root enabled file system browser like es file explorer.
if you are rooted, you can safely delete the duplicate media folder from that directory as well.

Are you sure it's your music? If you click on "Miscellaneous files", it shows you exactly what it's counting and how much space it takes.
(I didn't know that until I just tried it now, so thanks!)

I have reaently rooted my phone with Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit. All works fine except one thing - I keep loosing my MP3 files
I copied some mp3 files over to my SD card. Next day they were gone.
fter this had happen several times I decided to re-root my phone again. After the procedure I copied mp3 files over again and they were on
the card for about 2 more days. Today they're all gone.
I noticed that when I use Samsung KIES application and install some files into the music folders using Kies, after some time those files are gone as well. Installed antivirus, scanned, no virus found.
Any idea's what could cause this to happen ?
Arthur
Are they on your external sd card? If so I would guess it's going bad or you bought a cheap ebay one that's not actually the listed capacity so it overwrites your oldest files as you put more stuff on there (just a shot in the dark here, but that's what some cheap ones do)

thank you all for replies and your time!
the card is 64 Gig /made in China of course.
I don't think it is the card quality in this case. I have had SD cards in the past which were loosing data, but usually when this had happened all data was lost not just some specific file type. This is more lie an effect of a:
- some softare making updates
- virus or mallware
Like I said I have another folder on the same level called PFD whith about 100 PDF files, and this folder remains untouched, and the same happens for my picutres. I do not loos pictures on the card, the the only thing that gewts deleted is MP3

Use folder mount to move big files to ex card. This phone does not have option yet to move apps to sd unless you use a rom from another carrier on it.

This!
The easy bet is that it is your rom backups. That has been the answer for all 900 other people who have made this same thread.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
That's why you always save backups on the ex card. Never save them on internal sd.

I always search before making a post. Haven't started too many posts... Sorry I couldn't find the answer :/ but thank you other guys for the help. I wasn't sure if backups could go to SD because of them being through cwm. But yes I knew they were taking a lot of my memory away.

Next questions search. Getting backups to SD..
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
To get back ups to sd, first you search your recovery since they are not all created equal. On cwm I know you have the option right after you select backup and restore. It is a few selections down. Not sure on twrp, Im sure its easily spotted though.
Figured out how to back up to SD. Thanks for the help!
