I'm running out of space on my internal SD as it's only 6gb and filled up with Gameloft games. I want to be able to move those files to the external SD but not sure how I can do this and still have them working. I was thinking symlink but apparently the SD card format is FAT so this won't work. Does anyone have ideas?

I just bought a SD card(8gb) to my SGS but my problem is that, when i'm about to download for example the sd card files(not the apk file) for Dungeon Defenders:First wave it says that there is no room for it on my internal SDcard so how do i install the files on my external sd card(2.5 GB left)? Is it something wrong with my sd card or is it just a setting? Because it must be possible to install the SD files to the external SD card and not just the internal SD card?
PS i got a Micro SD hc.
I am pretty sure you can't dl those files to an external, only internal. Try moving other files to your external to free up some space on your internal.
Thats what I have recently learnt,
its misleading to have a name apps2sd & not able to move apps to external sd.
Apps2sd, does mean moving an app to your external sd, just not the file for gameloft and other games requiring extra dl.

I don't understand what you mean, does apps2sd move the apps which don't require extra dl to external sd?
I don't think so as I cant move them to external by any means it only moves to internal sd partition.
First off I have a Galaxy S Captivate and I'm a noob when it comes to the mods on this phone. It is rooted. I bought a 32gb sd card and wanted to partition into two partitions. I did some searching and found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543985. It worked great, but it didn't modify the ext sd card. It partitioned the internal card instead. Now instead of seeing the 16gb internal I'm seeing 13gb.
Question is, is there an easy way to 'undo' this without loosing everything and actually partition the external card?
Thanks in advance,

The internal /sdcard partition should only have around 13gb. The entire phone has 16gb this includes all the system partitions and a 2gb partition in /data for user apps.
Okay so it repartitioned the internal storage. Is there a way to point it to the external to partition it? I'm wanting to move the apps to the sd to free up space. Sorry for the dumb questions...
You can't install an app in an external sd.
You can move apps from /data/app, which has the 2gb capacity, to a folder in /sdcard with native froyo software.
Settings>applications> manage applications>"the app you want"> move to sd.
hi,
after upgrading to ICS, i was trying some apps and when the 2GB were about to end i tried moving some apps to sd (internal storage of the note) but i failed, it says not enough space (there is more than 4GB free)
and now after updating some games with big files that was stored on the internal memory the games can not access these files one of them says extraction files failed, check external storage.
so how can i move apps to the internal memory? and why is this happening ?
and if i get a 16gb sd card how can i transfer the files on the internal memory to it while keeping all apps settings and everything as is ?
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.
I formated de SD card card for internal use but when I tried to move an app it gives me an error it says:: cat move app internal error what can I do and thanks
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you format it as internal storage, isn't it all treated as one storage? Therefore, you can't move anything to SD since it sees that storage as internal anyway? I've never used it before, but that's how I understood it.
No ,when you format it as internal memory it divides it in 2 when I m going to move and app it appears to move it to internal or SD card,,if I only format it not as internal memory it only gives me the option to move only music or videos
