Hi everybody
i bought recently LG G3 & I rooted it
please help me or give me the application that allows me to install games in SD Card
Thank you a lot
Foldermount for big data
If you have xposed module installed obb to SD app just search for it using xposed is great for them big games XDA did a great video on YouTube showing how to use it.
Does the xposed framework work on Lollipop?

No. Xposed only works with the Dalvik runtime. Since LP is on ART, it won't work and it's not know when it will be updated to work with ART. Don't ask the dev as he's already been asked thousands of times and he said "it will get done when it gets done".
One other thing to be aware of, if the game writes a lot to the SD card, it will reduce the lifespan of the SD card. I've had SD cards go bad (and they are good SD cards from Sandisk) after about a year. This was due to me using TWRP to backup nandroids a lot, TiBu backing up nightly, etc. Eventually, reading from the SD card will be slower and then finally, files will start to get corrupted and eventually lost. So, be careful wanting to use the SD card as your main internal memory.

I realize this is probably a stupid question but its something I have constantly been wondering. As a new rooter I have been experimenting with a lot of new ROMs and each time i go through and move the big apps to the sd card. Now when I do a full wipe to install a new ROM, those apps get removed from my sd card yea? My sd card seems fuller than it shows and I'm wondering if this is the case or not? Thanks

When you save an app to the sd card, you are caching a portion of the app there so it sort of dual boots the app. It puts less load on the phone's memory this way. It's kinda like caching songs on Google Music Beta for offline playback in this respect. When you flash a new rom the cached app files are deleted from use, but some miscellaneous files may remain. This may be the cause of you seeing that your memory seems bulkier than before and the files can be deleted easily without harm to your phone. Just be sure of what you're deleting before you do so.
is there a way that i can move my apps to sd card. I tried using app2sd programs but they did not let me move my apps. please help my 16gb internal storage is getting smaller.
thanks

I'm not sure if this is present in stock images, but if you go into System -> Apps and select an app, there should be a "Move to SD card" option in there. (This has, AFAICR, been present in stock Android as of ICS.)

you cannot really move apps to sd cards but there is an app called "gl to sd" it will move gameloft games to the sd card because they can be fairly big in size and also you have to be rooted to use the app
i am on cm10 official.
i heard google and samsung were taking away the feature to move apps to sd card.
any work around with using cm10?

Allow me to preface this by stating that a simple search would have yielded your answer in all likelihood. Please do learn to fish, lest you starve.
There is a method of swapping the internal storage with an SD card via a script, provided you have init.d support. I've tried a variety of ROMs from stock onward and never found an issue with init.d, so it shouldn't realistically matter. Depending upon the ROM, the mounts tend to vary but the script I took and modified accounts for said variations. It's really a rather simple deal, given that you are on CM10 my current iteration should work for you without modification or issue. Be advised that my alterations stem from a script that came from this thread and all credit for the original concept is not due to me, I only modified the script in order to make it compatible with other ROMs and to mitigate the differing mount points. It also goes without saying that I am not responsible for your device melting down or your cat bursting into fire. If you're interested in the modifications I have made to the script let me know and I'll be happy to build a CWM flashable zip and give you further instruction, otherwise see the post previously referenced.
Do also note that the script WILL NOT enable you to move apps to the SD via Settings/Applications, it will basically cause the device to see the SD card as internal storage and the original internal storage as the SD, but only while the device is not in recovery. If you boot into recovery you must remain aware of the fact that your data will be on the external SD as they behave in a flip-flop manner. You must also be aware that you should not remove your SD card while using this modification if the device is on and not in recovery mode, bad things will happen (possibly the end of the world) I realize this was probably more information than you sought but it's better to have too much than not enough in my opinion.

well i think phones that are running ics do not have the ability to move apps to an sd card without some sort of modification

Actually, due to the nature of the way that the S3 handles internal storage, whereby the "SD card" is actually just a mount that's bound to /data/media and not a physically separate storage medium, moving apps to the SD card has never and will not be implemented in the foreseeable future. To attempt to circumvent the fact that the standard method of moving apps from internal to external storage ("Move to SD") is rather misguided as you would gain nothing from having done so since the intent is to conserve space on the internal storage and given that the internal storage and "SD card" reside on the same physical device, you gain nothing. That is why the method I described in my previous post was originally conceived, so that S3 users might have some semblance of moving apps to an external SD and thus freeing up space on the internal storage.
Sorry for my English.
Is there any solution to install apps on the external SD card, not move, but install everything to the external SD card.
As in this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/mod-extsd2internalsd-v8increase-data-t1772234
Thank you all, I will use the translator, do not worry if they respond in English.
That seems to be for the international version of the galaxy s3 only. I've only read through the first few pages but he OP seems to be willing to help with other devices if you test for him. Post over there and see what he has to say. This has been an issue for a very long time and has been made even worse with the new restrictions permitting only gapps and some manufacturer apps write access to the sd cards that we purchased. At least there's a fairly easy way around the write problem, but installing to external sd is another matter altogether.
Might want to take a look at Xposed Framework. I think I saw a module in there to accomplish this. Root required.

I've looked for a solution to this question since I got the 8.4 a few weeks ago. To my knowledge nothing is available. With my Note 2 I used to use an app (root required) called GL to SD. It's still on the Play store, but it's just too inconsistent to rely upon. When it works, it's a great app but it just doesn't do so consistently.

Seems same problem as s duos! I wouldn't try this if I were you! I hate Samsung sometimes due to this reason... Try recovery script method... But this slows down your device.....
You can use an App like Foldermount (root) to trick folders location.
So your OBB or Android data directories can be mounted to the ext SD card.
From then, anything installed will be on the SDcard.

Another option might be to swap the internal and external sd cards. There are several links if you google it. Some work and some don't, so be careful. There is also this app in the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext

What I hate is that these settings have to be done everytime your phone is restarted! I really hate this...
Guys what about an app that is installed on the device memory but trying to download a zip file to external sd? I am using gmt subtitles app... any way around this or do I need to gain the root access... and install the sd fix from play store? Cheers

Every time I move apps from my device to my SD card, my card is corrupted and can't be read, either by my Note or a pc. I have to reforemat and then all is good again (except for the stuff I lost). It seems that truly, the only thing the SD card is good for, is media.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is it just me?
I'm using a SanDisk 32g card in an unrooted Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition running 4.4.2
Thanks

Im pretty sure you cant move apps to sd card anymore cause google changed a whole bunch of things with kit kat and they want you to use cloud storage. If you were rooted there are apps that you can use to do that. I have 128gb card with all my apps and data on cause im rooted and use a app called folder mount.. you can search around but im pretty sure im right.

I still think that with kit kat they changed permissions but here are my opinions. Maybe SD card is corrupted . Does the SD card work on anything else? Maybe try to reformat it. Did you buy on internet? It could be fake. I had bought a original SanDisk on ebay but it was a bootleg one and it worked fine for a while then I kinda had same problem as you are having. After getting one from best buy no problem since.

Here is just something i found real quick on internet.Its located here http://www.makeuseof.com/answers/can-free-space-phone-running-android-kitkat/
There are many different things that you can try to do in order to reduce wasted space, but the limitations are great, especially after 4.0.4. Most, if not all, Android phones are not allowed to move apps to an external SD card, or in some cases, even the internal SD storage that may be partitioned off for user storage (separate from phone storage usage used by the system and apps). This is a major issue on phones that have a small amount of internal storage space, such as 4 or even 8GB. There is a way to enable the movement of apps to the SD card, but the phone must be rooted, the SD card must have two primary partitions, and apps like Apps2SD III or Links2SD should be used (unless you are comfortable i
The Move to SD in the app manager is actually still moving to a sectioned off portion of space within your internal memory.
It sounds like this might not be properly mounted.
I have the wifi only US version of the tab s 8.4 inch, and I cannot move apps to SD card for some reason. I'm not rooted anything, and running Android 4.4. I tried doing it through the built in application manager, but I just get a "unable to move app to SD card" message. I also tried using an app called app2sd, and it didn't work either. App2sd worked just fine on my note edge running lollipop though. Could it be that I need lollipop on my tablet for it to work? I just bought a 64 gb micro SD card for my tablet because I was running out of space, but as you can see I have be3n unable to use it. Any ideas?
I know third party apps cannot write to the external microsd in 4.4 , in 5.0 it is fixed, but you would think the built in system apps would let you do it.

Thing is, all app2sd card does is automate the process. It's like a batch file that automatically opens the information page on each app (using built in application manager) where you can click "move to SD card" . So it's really no different than doing it manually with no third party app, so I don't think what you mentioned is the problem
I downloaded app2sd and i moved a few apps from my internal flash memory to microsd without any problems, I have an non-rooted v4.4.2 10.5" T800 , below is the app i used.

This does not even let me try to use it . It just says "no need to move, SD card shares the same disk with OS". I also reformatted the SD card, still no luck. I can't be the only one with this issue. Anyone ?
Remove you microsd and do a factory data reset, make sure you backup the data you need to keep first, very strange that your tab thinks your ,microsd is just a directory on your system flash memory, might be worth formatting your microsd in your notebook if you have an adaptor, just in case you tab is putting system files on you microsd, then put it back in your reset tab and do a format on it, if the tab does not do it for you.
It would be nice if some other forum members could help you, maybe you need to get a mod to change your thread title, to something like "help: my android tablet thinks my microsd is system memory and will not let me move my apps to it"
Or something like that might get your thread more attention.
Or try posting on more than one android forum, I use the one below, but there are lots more.

Turned out to be defective micro SD card. Lesson learned : stick with San disk, death to Sony

It also very highly depends on your defin4of moving an app to your SDcard. Most apps of various sizes only move a very very very small portion of their data to the sdcard. Like a 1GB app moving 56MB or a 24MB app moving 16KB. Some apps are smart and can move their obb files but there are quite a lot of apps that are not programed well and move only a little bit of data or none at all.
But as for this specific tablet samsung was kind enough to include app2sd as part of its system files (along with all the bloatware), so you do not need on a stock rom (kitkat or lollipop) to install any other app moving program.
