[Q]Move data games from internal SD to External SD - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm looking in forum but can't find any answer...
We can move the data of games, for example sdcard/gameloft to sdcard/external-sd/gameloft and the games continues running? Or can't do it, cuz the path is internal on the apk?
Thank you!

Settings Applications .
If you can move a product it will show move to SD card or not .
jje

lol... ¬¬
I'm no asking for this man...I don't want move the apk to sd. I want move the data of games that are close 300mg each...
Thank you anyway

No one know?
I just want move some data games to external_sd card.
Maybe making a new partition on external sd and linking with sd internal as do the folder asec (on /mnt/asec/ ) that is /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/.android_secure
Thank you!

[Q] Moving Apps form Galaxy to internal SD is possible?

Hi I have upgraded my Galaxy S to Froyo with "official" firmware, everything is running ok, I also installed the OneClick LagFix (this change my quadrant from 892 to 1915) but now I only have 400Mb free in the phone memory, I would like to move some apps to the SD but I get the following error "Error moving app. There is not enough memory" (Possible this is not the correct message, i get this message in spanish )
I dont have a external SD, but I have 14Gb free in the internal SD, is not possible move apps to this memory?
Thx in advance
install Froyo, then you can run apps from External SD

yes, but all the apps needs to be re-installed and select External SD during install
or you can force them to External and hope it works with those 3rd party programs that moves apps to External SD
Thx AllGamers, I would like to install in the internal SD partition that have 14Gb free, because I don´t have external SD
Thx in advance

Q. I can move an app to SD w/o problem but the data file that is consuming a large portion of my internal memo stays on internal SD. Is there a way to move the app and it's data to the SD?

I too have a 32Gb card installed.
You can move the apps and there are a number of 3rd party apps that will do this for you quickly or you can do it from settings in managing the applications. I found that this was not the space saving solution that I thought it would be.
It is the data that needs to be moved, e.g., DoggCatcher is my news reader and it had about 3Gb worth of data. Moving the app didn't save any space but using the setting in the program to move the data did the trick. Play around with moving a couple of apps and see what you get and check to see if the app will allow you to move the data to a new location.
Some apps simply stock pile a lot of data. My eBook program, Audible which I can't do without is another one - over 1.5Gb. I'll contact Audible about this one.
some times when you check on sites like AppsBrain
it will tell you if the App is App2SD compatible
meaning it can be isntall to SD also data store on SD
as mpierce said, it's pretty useless to force a program to SD, meanwhile the heavy stuff remains in the phone internals

Can everyone please read before replying?? He wants to move his apps to the INTERNAL SD (so do I) and NOT the external SD. This is not possible as far as I'm concerned. Got the same error as luishchorradas.
luischorradas said:
Hi
actually u cannot move ur apps to the internal sd card as internal sd card (16 gb) is only meant for media (videos, songs etc.) and if u want more 16gb for ur apps u will hv to put an external sd card (galaxy s supports 16gb) and ya if u move to sd it will move to external sd card.
Thnx

Thanx
Finally ... Thanx Coolfriend for you help
Sorry to resurrect an old thread. But I don't believe "move to SD" moves anything to the external SD card. The apps move to the internal SD card. Yes unmounting the SD card disables apps, but if you browse through the internal card, you'll still see them sitting there.
Me to, same problem, no google search helps :-(

sorry for necro'ing but it does indeed move it to the external SD, i've tried moving a couple apps with my Galaxy S to the, as it says, "move to USB memory" but as i check the free memory, it used the external SD memory, not the internal.

How to move game files to EXT SD and the game playable in EXT SD

as such..anyone know how to move the gameloft or any other game files to the ext sd? my interbal sd is running out of space
Provided you're running Froyo there is the option to move to SD card in Settings>Applications>Manage applications and selecting the individual application(s) that you're wanting to move to your external SD.

That only moves save games and such not actual data, no offense but people should try to do what they post first before giving the wrong information.
=(
so did anyone actually moved their whole game data to EXT sd and playing?
please share
Can this issue be fixed by symlinking the data folder to extenal_sd?

i am one of who need this apps! but i think this is not good for the game need the tatiumbackup because when you try to restore the titaniumbackup data on your games, maybe doesn't work, because the titaniumbackup can't identifying the real file location of your data games!
read my second post,work like a charm,even if you change your rom,u can directly open the directory of the folder u put ur data on ur last rom..

Cant move obb of a game to sd card

Ive been trying to move a game to my 32 gb sd card, I have a rooted phone (clcokworks mod).
So I partitioned my sd card and made the partition ext2, it being a primary. Then I connected it to my phone, and downloaded the paid version of linktosd, I linked the data but it didn't move the obb which was taking up 2 gbs. It said quote" you devive has a primary external storage which is emulated from your internal storage"
If anyone has any idea how to fix this or tell me that you cant fix it, it would be appreciated.
Ps- I have already tried foldermount and obb to sd card. None of them work.

Link2sd won't move your obb/data to your ExtSdCard. The solution to this problem is GL to SD. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp

i dont think link2sd can move the obb files, they only move the apk and data files

Obb files are the game Data files. Or do you mean data like savegames?
You need two partitions on the external sd, one fat32 and one ext2/3/4, both marked as primary.

Weird SD Card Name on MM(6.0.1)

Hi,
My phone is installed by a pre-rooted MM rom and currently it's working welll without any problem.
But I found out one issue for sd card name.
internal memory name is under 'sdcard'.
sd memory(External) name is under 'storage/9016-4EF8'.
I think some app's data is not moved to sd card(External) due to that sd memory name.
For example, I installed "Day" app and data is saved both 'Internal' and 'Ext' in Link2SD app and App2SD app.
I checked file location for the app using 'Link2SD' but app's file location is still in the Internal.
Internal - Data(Data in Link2Sd) : /data/user/0/com.osmino.day
External - Data on SD Card(Data(Ext.) in Link2Sd) : /data/media/0/Android/data/com.osmino.day (Why internal???)
So I could not move data to Data(Ext.) because it's already recognized Data(Ext.) to extern SD card.
I think External SD Card file location would be like this "/storage/9016-4EF8/data/media/0/Android/data/com.osmino.day".
How can I change sd card and internal name or move to external sd card to move to external SD Card?
Do you have any idea?
Thank you.

There are several paths to the external SD card with MM
/storage/exfat_uuid
is probably the shortest.
Download a copy of root explorer and familiarise yourself with the new MM file structure, it's not complicated, it just has new names from LL.
Using apps to move other apps onto the SD card doesn't sound like a recipe for success.
Let the Sony app manager do it.
thanks for reply.
then how can i move data to real external sd?
my storage is not enough so i need moving.
i think some app try to install data in external sd. I think many apps try to find sdcard named. currently sd card is internal memory. and exact sd card name is storage/9016-4ef8. i think that's why my internal memory is not enough.

Take the SD card out, save the data on it, then format it
When you put it back in your phone and it asks you what to do with the SD card, DO NOT format as internal storage. This feature doesn't really work, or if you do get it to work. then it's really buggy and apps can't use it.
Once you have the SD card working, just use settings/apps/*your app* In the first bar down it will say where the app is stored and if you click on it, it will give you the option to move it.
