Hi,
I use CM 13/Android 6.0.1 on a Galaxy S5 - I hope the LineageOS forum is the right one for this question.
Unfortunately, Amazon Music won't write downloaded music to the external SD-card when I select it in the app. Although the tick is set it always writes to internal memory.
What can I do? I am happy to move the entire app if possible but haven't found an option to do so...
Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if there still is no way of moving the app data to the external sd card?
I am especially interested in the games data, because i've got tons of games, and obviously cannot play all of them because of the storage issue.
I know about the gl to sd app, but I was wondering if there is another way of doing this, as after using this app, you need to launch the game from the app.
Also is there a beta version of some sort of the app2sd app that might work on the S3?
Thanks!
yeah
dont have any way to move app to external card?
Here you go: [TOOL] DirectoryBind - move data to external_sd (GameLoft, Shadowgun etc.) ROOT req.
Runs very well with my S3 and the 64GB sd-card. You are able to move every directory you want to the external sd-card and mount it to the internal sd-card.
- I just do not use the "Transfer files from target to data" and have moved the files manual by myself before I make a directory bind.
- At second I have to activate "Alternate dbase mgmt" and "Persistent service" (under preferences) to have the bindings after a reboot.
- you can make a backup of your bindings e.g. if you want to flash a new rom (under "options" - "backup database")
I use the version 0.2.0o

I'm trying to make this thing work, but not really succeeding; here's what I did:
> First time I tried one game by using the "Transfer files from target to data":
- I long tapped the first field, the source, and selected an empty folder on the external sd card
- I then long pressed the second field, the target, and selected the folder on the sdcard containing the game data
- Then ticked the "Transfer files from target to data" option and taped the Add button; then waited for the operation to complete
- Afterwards, runed the game, but it prompted me to download the data.
> After this method failing, I tried to transfer the files manually, with another game:
- Created a new folder on the external card and moved the game data manually there
- In the app, I selected the target and the source directory respectively, left the "Transfer files from target to data" option un-ticked and taped the Add button; waited for the operation to complete again
- Then I runed the other game and the same problem.
Please note that I ticked the "Bind on boot", "Alternate dbase mgmt" and the "Persistent service" options in the app preferences and tried restarting the phone and checked the games again, with no luck.
Could someone please point the mistake in what I did?
Thanks!
EDIT: nevermind, I did not taped the icon before the bind so it will turn green.
Now it works!
weepeey!
Thanks for that!
this program can do that too without root, but it's only for gameloft games

If u r rooted then i highly recommend using "gl to sd" from play store n thr great thing is that it is free. I myself use this n this works for all games... provided that u r rooted... worth having a go

I used that, but it is really annoying that you have to launch the game from within gl to sd.
The Directory Bind app works very well, and you can set the bind at boot so no worries about having to set everything up every time.
Thanks anyway!
Try "super mount" from lidroid.u can find it in market.

Could you tell me how to use it ?
On google play it says that i9300 is supported.
I created a new dir on extSd: "lidroid". After starting app, and hitting "mount SD card" it says Mount error
Does it require root ?

Rooting does not bring back the apps 2 sd function. I recommend directory bind, mentioned earlier

I have just installed and tested DirectoryBind on my S3, I actually transferred GTA3 data files from the internal to my external SD, works fine, rebooted my mobile and tested the game again, worked fine too. Very happy with this app...
I think that it is a little bit uncomfortable to launch apps from GL to SD(root), however, the developer is working very hard on the app which is great for our SGS3, recently we got an update for 64 SD cards and misc, i wil put my prayers on this man for having a completely app that resolves the anoying emulated storage for our loved SGS3 :fingers-crossed:
for me, this is the best.
I have just installed cyanogenmod 10.2, android 4.3 on my samsung s4 lte version.
It is a great rom, but I am not able to move apps to my SD. Even if I download Link2SD or FolderMount, which I paid for, they both seem to act
weird and complain. How can I transfer my games and apps to my SD card?
Thanks

How do you use it? Do you manually create the link ? I didnt have to do that with the stock ROM. Also in the app list, it lists many applications as
0 bytes.. and can't do anything with them

Yes. There is a "+" sign in the menu. Tap on it and FolderMount (FM) will ask for source folder (you can browse it via UI) and also asks whether it should create the destination folder automatically.
For example I have Sygic maps on internal SD (/sdcard/Sygic) which is a quite big folder, around 5 GB. So I inked it to external SD - FM autocreated it on external SD and moved the files.
Try to find Youtube videos about FM usage.

I've read that the Google Music app can now save music files to a selected location like an external SD card instead of only on device storage.
As I understand it, this feature only works with KitKat or select "older" devices - like the Galaxy S4.
I don't know if we Hercules users have a different APK, that is missing this option or if this option has been disabled in the apk via some sort of device detection.
If it is the first option, has anyone shared a copy of the KitKat apk that works on the Hercules.
Title basically says it all. This should be a simple task but for the life of me I cannot find how to change the default download location to external storage. Honestly it should be as simple as changing storage options but LG in their infinite wisdom decided to make it either convoluted as hell or something that isn't even possible.
Okay, I've tried the download2sd xposed module and it seemed to be fairly simple and straightforward to change where I wanted my downloaded files to go... BUT when I download files that sound like orrents (XD) my file downloader of choice says I cannot locate the file. So obviously download2sd needs a certain path structure that LG doesn't use.
Can anyone shed some light on any possible solution? I've searched the threads and there are people asking about other issues but not this specific issue. Yes I CAN just manually move the files to my sd card after downloading them but that kind of defeats the purpose of not using the internal drive for this process anymore. The fact we can't just change preferred download location to external storage is derp as hell.
The only way I know of is by using the default browser--> Settings--> Advanced--> "Select download storage", and change it to the SD card.
I actually just downloaded a different downloader client and it had the option to change the path built into the app itself. I had to download the SDFix apk to allow me to even save to external storage since google removed that option in Kit Kat. Good to go now. Thanks for trying to help though
thank you

Thank you so much. This problem has vexed me since the day I got my LG 8.3, and it was driving me crazy. Your suggestion resolved the situation. Thank you again.
finally!

Sorted now - thanks

I did that and it is STILL sending stuff to the "Downloads" folder and there is no way to get it to the SD Drive from there.
I have to send it to the Cloud and I don't want to send it to the cloud. I don't want anything to go there.
I am referring specifically to a PDF I tried to download as an experiment. It was about 12 MG and it reduced the internal storage but not the external storage amount.
It's making me absolutely crazy and I will not be able to do anything else until I figure this out.
works on my LG Stylo thanx for the tip

Does this need me to root the phone?
Hi, cant find the answer to this anywhere so hoping someone can help. When downloading mp3's ,photo's etc how can I set phone to give me the option to download to sd card rather than system storage, only "path" available is to the phone? Thanks in advance for any help.
You need to go into the app manager and move that app to the SD card
I've done that today with my PowerAmp app for music; but also for Google Photo's etc...
At least I think that's how I did it!
Hope this helps
Thanks for that but not quite what I'm looking for, have app2sd installed which moves the apps fine, my headache is how to set download path to SD card instead of system storage for things like mp3 downloads etc. Had Sammy's and an oppo 7a previously and they always gave an option of where you downloaded file to. Thanks again for your answer though
Ah; I get what you mean now. Sorry, got the wrong end of the stick!
I haven't figured that out yet; I've just moved to my Swift from a Galaxy Note 5, so still working my way through it!
But it is running 5.1.1 so maybe google your issue and android and see what the net comes up with!
Have you asked on here as well: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/
Update to cyanogen 13 today has sorted the problem out now
