(APP) Move large apps to external SD. Works great!

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.

does not work on my S3 with AOSP CM on it. I am reverting my build.prop and see if that fixes it that I use for google wallet, perhaps it does not work on the "Nexus"

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.

Internal storage discrepancy

Something seems to be wrong with the calculation of my internal storage. I feel like I should have more free space. Any ideas where this used space could be hiding? And how I'm using 523MB for pictures isn't possible, I have around 70 photos on this phone. They average 2MB each.

I only have one nandroid back up. The files in the backup folder aren't particularly large though.

Download Es file explorer, once inside click menu "3 dots" click manager then click SD card analyst. It will show you what your apps are eating or various things being stored. Most likely my guess is a bunch if non sense thumbnails. Probably a bunch of small files.

Glad I found this. Was finally able to locate some old game files that were taking up 3 GB !!Thanks!

I have the exact same problem and this worked, but when I delete it it says the space is free, but j get out and go back and the files are all back again. Its been like this ever since I rooted and unlocked my phone.

Help storage issue

Wow, that is big pile of porn in one device.
You are using some custom rom?

Haha, yup my eye already turn "blue"!! I'm using WanamLite XXDMC3 (V 1.3) but was'nt sure that it was b4 or after I used this rom. I would comment that this is a stable rom n the battery life have improved greatly. Would be great if I had this kind of storage space on my note two!

A few items to note, 1. go to camera/video app settings and change it to save to SDCard. 2. I have some HD movies (4 of them?) that are well over 6GB each. I normally have them on my external 2TB drive at home, but move a few to watch when traveling.
Lastly, when I got into the mobile devices many moon's ago, it was 1.X MP camera and pictures were @ 55K. This 8MP HD shooter takes pictures that are several megs! If you don't care about clarity that much, turn it down? JMO.

Are you sure this is a false storage estimated?
If so, are you sure have tried doing a full clean wipe?

How to go about on a full clean wipe? Did a wipe of some sort when flashing the WanamLite rom.

I have the stock app. Open the app and there is a setting icon (looks like a spark plug guage?) in the upper left. tap that and scroll down. The factory setting for MP is 6, I changed it to 8. Scroll all the way down, storage location is next to last option, change it to card IF you have one. If not, you cannot change it. If so, single shots and video will go to card. Burst shots still go to phone.
Good Luck.

Thanks! Found out the problem, there's no external sd cause send in for replacement.

After 4.4 update can no longer write to sd card.

I noticed I can no longer create folders or copy to sd card from the note. I have to connect through USB to save to micro sd card. I believe the 4.4 has something to do with this. For security?
This sucks, if I had known I wouldn't of update.
Is anyone that took OTA 4.4 have same issue. Or found a work around. ?

EStrongs file explorer. Root not required. :good:

I have no problem doing this using the My Files app that is included with your device. If you are trying to use a third party file explorer from the Play Store then you may have problems as 4.4.2 locks down access to the SD card for third party apps.

I noticed I have two new camera picture folders when I review images on phone now...

Yea but if your trying to download via ttorrent or similar it gives permission error. Only way to get it on sdcard is to download to internal memory then move to sd.

I dont have burst enabled at all. In Album I have Camera with 1,677 images and another Camera with 51 images. I think this was my fault come to think about it :silly: I just realized that my SD card was almost full and at some point I changed the camera to store on internal memory. I think this was it? LOL

Hey, long story short. When I was back in London I copied a lot of my brothers songs onto my SD card .

[Q] Are there ANY downsides to upgrading to 4.4?

Hi all
I'm just wondering if there's anything in 4.4 that is NOT as good as 4.3? Any limitations or disadvantages you can think of? (I've read something to do with the external SD function...???)
Cheers in advance

--> extSD card not writable by system <--
Are you saying you cannot write to the SD card with apps like OfficeSuite Pro or the camera or just that the system will not install and run programs from the SD card?

If an application is designed to save its files to the card in a folder created by said application, then yes. If the application cannot create a folder on the card, then no. That is a quick explanation.

I bet they fix that one quick.
BTW - When I went to KitKat on some of my other tabs all I had to do was reinstall the same apps (same versions) and they worked fine. The reinstall did something that made them work fine. Out of several hundred apps it was only a handful.

Is this only for 10.1 2014 with KK? Because I dont think this is KK related as Chromecast works for my Note 3 with SinLess KK ROM.

can someone quickly elaborate about extSD card issue
I've been able to grab small tid bits here and there.
does that mean that I can't store data, or that apps that for example fpse use ext sd for rom storage will no longer be able to use extSd ??

Sd card will work pretty much like on pre-Android, pre-Symbian phones.
Only good for media files, which must be stored via a pc, not say, loaded with the tablet from a nas.
Probably pics and vids taken with the Note can be saved on the card.
They force all more sophisticated users to root. Others, who enjoy being submitted to rules, even silly ones, and miss Adolf, are already using iOS and WP anyway.

Important Change

Hey glad I caught this thread on time. So since you're on kitkat, you are unable to turn your device around 180 degrees. And that pretty much renders all cases useless for the typing position UNLESS you buy Samsung's pricey case that can fold without having you turn the device.

Not sure where you got that info. I'm on KitKat and turning the device works just as it did before the upgrade. I can put the power cord at the top if I need to. There's nothing I tried that doesn't work with the Note upside down.

Really? It might just be my custom ROM then. Well I'm currently experiencing that problem with Kat1.0 kitkat ROM for the SMP600. Is anyone else using that ROM encounter this problem? Is there an xposed hack for this?

No, the my files app has full permissions. So you can still say download things and then just move them over from internal to external.
