Is there anyway to move apps from internal memory to SD card? Games like NFS take up a huge amount of storage and I'm running out of space. :silly:

I used to use DirectoryBind on my Xperia ZL while it was on 4.1.2. It needs root and works perfectly. I'm sure it will work on your tablet as well but if you have upgraded to 4.2.2 then you will need another solution.
I just bought my Xperia Tablet Z and went with the 32GB model for exactly this reason. People recommended the 16GB version because you can add an SdCard anyway to compensate but they don't seem aware that games that have a big game data such as NFS, Spiderman, Batman + many others will suck that 16GB dry and cannot be moved easily to the SdCard even though many apps on the Play Store claim they can. Every app I tried was a fail except for DirectoryBind which can be found on XDA by searching a bit.
Good Luck!!
Thanks a lot!!! I used Directory Bind with my S2 - never thought it can be used with Tablet Z!!!

Well I have a Galaxy S3 with 16 GB of internal memory. I recently got addicted to ashphalts(both 6 and 7), Batman: The Dark Knight, The Amazing Spiderman, Gangster Rio, ShadowGun and many more HD games. As stated, all of them consume huge amount of space and to make the matter worse you are not allowed to see the files that are being downloaded over wifi, so no way to move them manually. I got apps to sd installed which is pointless in Galaxy S3 as it has no option for apps to move to sd card.
Now is there any way I can get rid of this problem? Any way that I can move some of the apps on my 32 GB sd card? I dont want to root or do something like that. I rooted my galaxy s2 and enjoyed installing hundreds of ROMs but for S3 I prefer not to. The sock version is just too good. But is there any way to solve the space issue?
yeah, it sucks because 16gb only has less than 12gb of usable space
it is pretty lame how google removed support for installing to SD card.. i think they're doing this now to get people to buy android phone with more internal memory (32gb, 64gb,etc)..
unfortunately no solution unless you root and hack your phone to death.. might want to take a look at this.
Root is the easiest way to solve most issues including yours.
Other solutions:
1) Finish the game and uninstall it immediately.
2) Trade your phone for 64gb version.

Thanks mate. I did take a look at that forum earlier but thought that seemed pretty complex to me.
WEll perhaps you are right, google wants us to buy phones with high internal memory and surely we would! ****! Cut down the price then

@Ev0d3vil: I installed a sd card in one of my SGS3 and then downloaded GTA3 outside the play store. Then you get all the data in a zip, that can be used from sd card. I just installed GTA3 and it works fine from my SD card. Atleast I think. Anyways there is no way to move apps to sd in SGS3 unless rooted. Droidsail super app2sd is a great app that I had used for moving apps to SD in my previous android.
There are two methods around this.

Yep. Good options. Personally I use gl to sd from play store. It moves game data to the external sd. You open the app and it shows you which games etc you can run / move data for. In options you can also add the data folder as well as select folders manually.

Hi all
My internal SD is about to filled up while my Ext_SD still has more than 30Gb available out of 64Gb. I have some very big file in the internal SD such as Co-Pilot navigation's map and several games' files like Asphalt 6 & 7 ect ... Those are really big though
I wonder if there is a way to move all of those big files to the Ext-SD? I've heard of something like partitioning the Ext-SD card but don't know how to do it properly so I would really appreciates any instruction / guidance from you experts in the forum
Thanks a lot
Partitioning the external sd is a good idea but not necessary for our phones. I would move pictures and music over the external sd and see if that gives you anymore room.
You can try clearing out some space using the Amaze Memory Clear app from the market or doing it manually from Settings>Storage scroll down till you find Make More Space from the internal storage. You can clear out HTC app caches and temp data and other things it ask you. You'll be surprised how much crap gets saved.
I appreciates your replied and suggestion. Yes I did all that and all of my multi-media files were always on the external SD - even my Titanium backup folder were set on the external but, still, those games from GameLoft and off-line maps that really took all the spaces.
Thank you BTW

Thanks for your input. App2SD only moved app but not it's data. Apps are not a problem in our phone since we have 2,64Gb (internal) partitioned out from the internal SD Card (16Gb) just for apps. More than enough.
It's the data from apps that took spaces and sadly we can not move 'em to the ext-SD. I've also tried the Directory Bind but it's for the SGS2 and it won't works on our phone
Perhaps some of our clever Devs might be interesting of porting the app to our phone someday and that would be great .
Link2SD would be a better option, but it requires kernel support to work.
Is this possible? I have a 16GB SD Card and can't do anything with it.
I have exactly the same problem, I bought this phone because of it's adreno 320 GPU. So I would be able to play a lot of games, but pretty soon after buying the phone I discovered that 16 GB of storage wasn't enough. So I bought a 64 GB card. Sadly I haven't been able to move my games to my SD card so I just got kind of stuck. Any info will be greatly appreciated
If you are rooted, you can install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD. It requires you to partition your SD card. I used to use it on my Samsung blaze and it worked quite well.

Yep, using it on my HTC Aria. Pretty much a necessity on that device now, with how big all the apps are these days. I think it has like 110MB of available app storage onboard...

Well it depends on the game, but I use FolderMount to make the game data that's normally stored on the internal SD get stored on the external SD.
This only moves the extra game data that normally gets downloaded for games like asphalt.

Thanks for the reply, can you be a little more specific? As far as I know this phone got an emulated SD card or something like that, that's why apps like link 2 SD doesn't work on the phone, so maybe your method works, but I don't understand how to use it

Link2SD doesn't work? It sees my internal SD, extSD, and, though I'm not using one, a spot for 2nd partition. You sure it doesn't work?
As for FolderMount: it scans the apps on the internal memory and allows you to move the data to the SD while creating a link so the app thinks nothing has moved.
For me it found and allowed me to move the 1GB of asphalt 8 data to the SD.

Thanks a lot, right now I'm using folder mount, and it moved 12gb of games files into my SD, that really worked out pretty well, thanks again for giving the folder mount advice. And yes, apps2SD doesn't works properly, at least not in my phone
Hi I have a 16gb SD card in my Sony tablet that in the past I have moved a few apps over to, i have nearly filled up the tablets internal memory so decided to move a few more over after only moving one app I tried another which is 600mb but after a while I get a error saying their is not enough space left on the SD card when their is 10gb left anyone have any ideas why it would do this
Thanks in advance
I believe due to lollipop you're not able to move the whole app to the sd card. This ought to be changed in the marshmallows update. Unfortunately, without root, there is nothing you can do about it. Please correct me if I am wrong on this

That might be the case as the first app I tried was the Sonic CD game at 600mb but just tried my ebay app at 685mb and that moved straight over, only other difference between these apps is ebay is from the Google Play Store while Sonic was from the Amazon underground apps app do you know if you can't move the amazon underground apps ?
there are 2 programms which assist moving apps to sd. Link2SD is very good - you re-partition your sd card (e.g. if you have 64, you split it into 48gb fat and +16gb ext4 partition) and then you have extra 16gb for apps. It also can move obb files to sdcard, but wants you to upgrade to PRO version for this. Here, FolderMount app comes handy. It is made just to move obb files (this is what you usually get with big games). So, both apps, when used in parallel, allow you to move pretty much everything to sdcard. Both need root. That's what I use on other devices, and will try to replicate same setup on XZ3CT later today. But if it all sounds too complicated, maybe you need to wait for Android marshmallow couple of weeks, and it will allow you to fully use sdcard for apps.
hi,
I'm thinking about buying a note 3 pro and the 16gb / 2gb version is really cheap right now. I think I won't have problems having 2gb ram instead of 3gb, I rarely multitask and most of the time I close programs which I don't use. but I don't know about the 16gb internal space ... seems really little. is there some way to merge internal + sd without android 6.0? or some other way?
Well, I use an application called foldermount it moves heavy game files to SD card.. ROOT REQUIRED.. also try installing aosp ROM it has a lot of bloatware removed so has more internal space available

does foldermount work on any game?
while charging my phone reaches 45 Celsius as given in entering info is it normal?
Foldermount won't help. Only obb to sd xposed module or aosp where you can move every app you want. It's funny because on miui you can't ?
Foldermount can only move big game data files..
Sorry for necroposting but maybe someone still will need the answer, so there it is:
Apps2SD, a brilliant app for doing this job
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd.pro&hl=pl
It also has a free version.
With this you can move .apk files of the games or other apps,
also OBB of big games are movable to the microSD card.
It moves the files to the external microSD card and creates links to the moved content, so the phone
can "think" it's in internal
I'm using this on my Redmi Note 2 and Redmi 3 and the games and apps are working without problems.
But be sure to use a class 10 microSD card, not any lower speed. (And check the condition of your microSD card
before you put it in the phone, for example with free HD Tune on Windows.
You may not want using a card with bad sectors )
Apps2SD it's convenient, reliable when you set it correctly, and it has a nice interface i think.
Not a bloatware and it has some very useful options like partitioning tool, storage info (space) check,
and a backup tool!
Also very good help thread here on XDA
As a 16GB kenzo user, DON'T BUY THE 16GB ONE AND GO FOR THE 32GB VERSION
Here are some of the difficulties:
Google Camera mod: You're gonna definitely use it when you have this device. It doesn't have a save2sd option so you can't shoot videos for long. Add in mind that more ram let's you process hdr+ photos with higher quality. On lower ram devices you have a higher chance of F.C.
Games: You already know.
Multitasking: Definitely 3GB ram is a better choice. I wish I had enough money to buy the 32GB variant. I can't run another app if I'm playing some kind of game. The game automatically closes.
