Apps remove to an external flash drive (SD-card) ?

Guys, how to move the game to an external flash drive (SD-card)?
When I move the shake in applications to the SD card it transfers to internal memory (the one that 16 GB)

Download ROMToolbox and use the Apps2SD feature.

Anyone having issues with running out of Memory?

I had an LG G Pad (got stolen this weekend, GRRR) so I am shopping for my next tablet. my one issue is the 16GB of memory, is it enough, or is apps to SD available on this now? I was running out of space on the g pad even putting what (little) I could on my sd card. Thanks

I have the SM-T325 16gb internal with 64gb microsd card. No issue with sufficiency of internal storage. The OS needed only 3.98gb, my apps totaling 90 used only 2.32 gb and I still have available space of 10.26gb, plus of course the external storage. To top it all, you can move the apps to the external microsd card; it is a built-in capability without requiring the app2sd app.

Thank you very much, great information.

Its a very subjective question. It depends on what you need to put on the tablet storage, and if you can put media, etc. on the removable SD card. If you can put stuff on an SD, just buy a 32 or 64 GB one, and you're good to go.
I personally agree that 16 GB is bit low for devices nowadays. 32 GB would have been great. But the Tab Pro 8.4 (WiFi) was what I wanted, and is only available with 16 GB, far as I can tell. I use it with a 32 GB SD, and its workable.

It has the inherent issue of having 2 external storage. The primary being a partitioned storage in the internal memory which is part of the 16GB of the device. Any app you move to SD would move it to that storage thereby using up the internal 16GB storage of the device. So far I have not found a way to move the app to the real external storage, the removable SD card.
With that being said, installing games that are huge would eat up your 16GB device storage.

Rooted?
If you're rooted, there are many ways to move "apps" (or rather, apps data) to the SD card.
The one I use is FolderMount, available in the play store. It allows to mount a folder from your internal storage to the SD card, so everything happens for the system as if it was internal storage, but the files are saved to the SD card. I do that for my OBB folder (Android / obb) which contains around 20GB of games data currently... And still have 10GB left on my internal storage because of that.

I was trying to avoid root but it seems there's no choice in this case.
One question though before I take the plunge and root, there's another folder under the Android folder called data, should I mount that as well?

Ehhh I don't think you can. However, did you know that G3 has a memorycard slot that supports up to 128Gb Micro-SD cards?

You can use FolderMount to link folders on the internal sd to one on the external (with the pro version, even the full Android/data and Android/obb folder, without just subfolders and every other).

Low Storage

I am starting to think I should have gone with the 32 gigabyte version. I don't have very many apps located on my 16 gigabyte but I keep getting error saying the memory is almost full - it's a little frustrating that this only comes with 11 gigabytes of usable storage space on the internal drive. I have a 64 gigabyte memory card that probably has 45 or 50 gigabytes free, and I have tried to move all of my apps and other data to the SD card to clear up some internal memory. Does anyone have any recommendations for better utilizing my external memory and saving some of my internal memory? For the record I use clean master to delete the cache files and other junk files on a regular basis.

Are you using a custom rom or stock firmware?

I found myself in the same situation as you and moving data to an SD Card without rooting did very little to free up internal memory (other than video, music,pictures).
I solved my problems with internal storage by rooting the tablet, installing sdfix along with FolderMount (or Link2SD) and transferred all my apps, data, games, videos, pictures etc to a large SD card (64gb or 128gb). I'm on stock ROM/Firmware.

Thanks for posting this! I was getting an SD card soon! So can you play apps and stuff that's on your SD card? If so how? And can you putt everything on the apps onto there? Thanks I'm advanced!

I transferred everything as mentioned above (using Stock ROM, Rooted, installed SDFix to R/W to the card then FolderMount to transfer files) to my 64gb SD card and all plays/saves fine including apps, games, data, video, music etc.

If I wasn't able to Root this tablet and it didn't come with the option to insert an SD card to transfer files, data etc. using FolderMount or some other alternative than there is NO WAY I would buy ANY 16gb tablet, EVER, no matter how pretty the screen is. You will run out of space quickly.
For anyone reading this, if you have the option to get the 32gb version of this tablet and can spare a few extra dollars, do it; you won't regret it.

I currently have the 16GB and I do regret it should have gone for 32GB.

I feel exactly the same way, this was given to me though so I can't complain, my girlfriend was supposed to get me the 32gb version but none was available and still none in my country so just gotta live with it. It's just annoying that tablets today still opt out 16GB to be the minimum storage capacity to this day and age we use tablets for media consumption so it should be more than that..

[Q] how sd card works in LG G3?

Hello! I bought LG G3 a few days ago and i have questions...
SD Card works how internal storage? or works separated?
I Have a 16 gb lg g3 and a 16 gb sd card, but i cant move APPs from internal storage to sdcard, for example the gangstar game obb files, only works when the files stays in internal storage because when i move the files to sdcard the game doesnt start. But also the option to move the game to sd card works! The game stills in internal storage and use too much memory...
I need help
greetings!

It has nothing to do with your G3...... it is the Kitkat thing or the Google thing.....it is how Kitkat designed to be

Wow. I still can't believe they made a 16gb ROM 2gb ram g3. 16gb is just not enough. I got 32gb and its almost full with junk
There are some apps in the app store that will enable write to SD.
