Well, I have suffered already. I have rooted my phone yesterday, so I could enjoy those pro huge games like NFSMW, MC and others which I bought this mobile for, but major problem is with storage, I can't move them to SD card using folder mount and such APPs..
I rooted my mobile and used SD fix to make it writtable and all of those process succeeded, but still when I use ES Explorer or any manager, I see all folders in "Android" is empty, so when I move NFSMW to SD, it moves like 250 KB folder only. I can't get access to 2.01 GB file, so I can move it...
So in cool and sweet, how can I get access to those large files in "Android" folder so I can move them to SD card? Help me, please. I am really tired of my phone..

Hi guys this new games are driving me crazy. New Nova data file is almost 2GB and other new games are not better. And well I am loving at so much I got new 64GB Micro SD card only to find myself in a trouble, all games save data file in internal storage. Now I tried to go to manage programs and select move to SD Card and only thing it did is moved actual game .like 5 mb and not data folder. So my question is this. Can I just manually move data folders from internal storage to external or I need to use program or setting .....I want to use my new 64GB SD card as main data storage for all games , what do I do ? I am on new rooted ICS with Darkside Evolution 3 beta 1
Thanks !
Noone knows or this is so obvious as copy from internal to external that noone want to even drop a line in here
I have 2 mb left on my internal card ...... HEEELP Thx
I'm in the same exact boat! I'd like to know also.
Yeah I can't imagine something like this is not widely discussed and not actually right in the settings. I do see copy to SD in settings of Applications but it looks like all it does is copy of original install files and not data file, come on guys open this huge secret on how to use external SD for all game cache cause Nova 3 is just killing me .........
Hi,
I just got the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 which has been rooted.
I was trying to choose between Directory Bind or this http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...sd-card-with-rooted-galaxy-note-2-app2sd-mod/.
I use directory bind on my s3 but you have to bind each item individually where the other I think does it automatically.
Cheers
Can anyone assist me please?
*Found it sorry*
I use Directory Bind, and it is perfect. I wouldn't want it done automatically, I want only certain folders on the SD card. Note's 10Gb internal storage is enough for most of the stuff (trust me I have a lot of apps installed), except some really big 3D games which use Android/obb folder and Navigation programs which have huge offline maps. That's what I map to SD card using Directory Bind. And I still have a lot of room on internal storage and on SD card

For me extsd2internalsd2 by mattiadj and infx.. version 6 works perfect.. but you need to be on perseus kernel for it to work perfect.. get it from S3 forum..
One more easy option is to use redpill kernel .. it has swap option available in STweaks section.. just tick it n reboot.. you are done..
Dear All,
I rooted my s4 mini and installed a stable CM rom.
After a while a realised that the SD card was not recognised, I could not move apps to it!
after playing a bit I found out that there are 2 SD cards: the first one is a partition of the 8gb internal storage,
the second is the physical one!
So my guess now is that, if I manage to format the internal storage I will get rid of this partition.
So my questions are: am I right? is there anybody else with the same problem? how do I format the
internal storage? will that work?
Thanks in advance for any help!
its not a problem its the way it is, stock behave the same way 2 sdcard, one emulated (sdcard0) and one external sdcard (extsdcard),
y use folder mount to "redirect" all folders I want to the ExtSDCard (32 gb class 10), moved all obb files, music, downloads, pictures, documents etc, never had space problems, once I had installed fifa13, batman dark night, nova , maxpayne, asphalt 7 and asphalt 8, thats easy 6gb only in games all working flawless
Hi and thank you for helping,
I still don't know how to mount and redirect all folders I want on the external one.
In principle the SD card is mounted I can see it and the content with file explorer but I can't move apps with app2SD
I don't really know what to do!
In any case thanks a lot

I recently purchased a Tab S 8.4 and have been very happy with the device.
I know that it has limited internal memory, but has an SD slot so I was not worried.
I recently ran out of room on my device between Apps, Google Play movie downloads, etc.
I purchased and mounted an SD Card, but I cant figure out how to set the device to save these Google Play Movies & TV downloads onto the SD Card to save space.
Can someone please guide me on how to best make sure of the SD Card since otherwise the space limitations on the device memory are pretty difficult to manage....
Most File Managers will allow you to find and either move or copy selected files to extSD. If you're rooted I find Root Explorer to be the most useful for me.
Also you can move SOME apps to uSD in System to save space.
Thanks. For me its more apps I need to move rather than files.
I am noticing how few of the apps I am able to move...not just Google Apps but even apps like Flipboard.
Hello,
Im experiencing really weird problem that never happened to me and now Im trying to find a solution but I cant find anything and I dont really want to format my phone because it would solve this problem only for some time.
The problem Im experiencing is regarding to my storage / sd card.. when I install any app it will make folder on my phone storage and not on SD Card even tho I selected to install apps on my SD Card. Another problem is that when I try to move that file that is placed in my phone storage to my SD Card then it wont clear any space from phone storage but the file is gone - and then when I run the app it says that I need to download additional datas and when I press download data it just say that my storage is full and I got 45gb free SD card and almost full phone memory even when I moved 1,5GB file to sd card .. I really dont know what to do..
Im also adding screenshot of my used space where you can clearly see that my apps on phone memory got 4GB and other files got around few hundred mbs but my free space is ONLY 500 MB and graph showing I should have around 6GB of free space..
Thanks for any help
EDIT: Im not rooted and running latest stock ROM
What app are you trying to delete the files in? Doesn't it have trash or something?
It doesnt matter what application Im trying to move (Im not uninstalling them or deleting) its happening to every app.
Anyone please?
i got this concern too. i want to install large games with obb files, but even if i transfer manually the obb files to ext sd/android/obb folder the game always says "download additional files" . in short the game can't find or locate the obb file due to some limitation on ext card permissions to read and write. im not sure on other devices. but i do believe thats how default android system is. :crying:
Correct me if im wrong but i guess the only solution here is to root our zf2 and install folder mount . forgive me for my first post. newbie here

well.. first of all u must know this fact that there are only few apps are present which can install on sd cards.. 90% of apps are developed to install on internal storage, if u will move them to sd card, they will not run.. and copying appdata files directly frm file explorer never solves this problem.. it will eat ur double space only.. there is specific way of doing this.. but only for those which supports installlation on sd card.
now ur problem of space, just clean ur junkfiles.. use xplore file explorer, enable 'show hidden files' and check one by one that which folder and file is eating ur storage.
if it doesnt work.. only last option is hard reset from stock recovery.
What is the main difference between internal storage and sd card? I dont get it why it shouldnt also work from the sd card.. and I was told by others that if I root my phone and download specific app / change settings I will be able to install to my sd card too. I was also normally installing my stuff on sd card when I had previous phone with 4.2 Android. With all these things I really shouldnt buy 128gb card that cost me 40€ because there is 95% of free space and I cant move anything (applications) to it.

yeah.. during 4.4 time.. apps were sd card freindly, but nowdays its rare.. bcoz every app developer is in race of superiority.. internal sd gives better r/w speed, and its not removable so that app can run 24/7 on your device.. dats y they make apps to install on sd.
dont get dissappointed.. your problem is solved in andoid 6.0 marshmellow, it gives u option of using external sd card as phone's internal storage. as soon as u insert the sd card.. it will ask you that how to use it.. as a portable storage or as a internal storage..
So plz go get buy 128 gb ssd.

your phone may be full of junks.. plz make backup of your important data.. hard reset it.. hard reset is required evry 3-4 months. just do it.. it wil solve ur problem.. other wise if u are rooted then get the root explorer and delete the un necessary files from root.
Oh thats great that Android 6 will make my sd card work again. But now there is that issue that Asus is working so slowly on Android 6 :<
is there a "trash" folder? every time i delete things, they disappear, but the space doesnt free up. i also have the same problem as the original poster: my apps and all files only take up about 6.5 Gb, but my free space is only 800Mb out of 11.5Gb...i downloaded "diskusage" and it shows 4.9Gb of "system files" but i cant find them using my file manager or storage screen (this is in addition to the 4.6 Gb of "system reserved" space)
I tried to show hidden files and found a ".trash" folder, but there isnt anything in it
use ES file explorer , it has a feature to find all junk. Also ZF2 is not deleting files from gallery , it stores them in .trash. Check that too.
