I want to move apps from internal sd card to external sites card. I go through the motions of moving and app and it shows that it was moved but when I look in the sd card folder I don't see the app. Am I doing something wrong? Is it not possible even though Titanium Backup did it and ICS is not recognising it?

I did it manually, search for the backup, then copy whole thing to sdcard.

Flash s2e (in general thread) and move the app to the sd, obviously if you have a partitioned sdcard
If youdon´t have a partition sdcard (like me) you should try moving apps to system to free memory in the data/app . Move the apps to system/app as many as you can but don´t full it.
No i have sd partition and using with s2e have much space but yet when i install it .it shows not enough space .I think adroid 4.2 doest not supports that app

i've got the same conf (rohan007's cm10.1 // annson08's patched s2e // tsf shell) and it works like a charm
[with some other tweaks - not storage related]
everything except app data on sd-ext (but when experimented it worked even whith everything on)
it's probably up to s2e; have you flashed it or installed it like .apk?
hope the above mentioned parameters, or at least the moral support helped
Note: You need root access.
As you know, all big games are installed automatically in you internal SD (phone memory), I try a lot of apps (link2sd, etc) but it doesn't work, the solution: use this app developed by an XDA member:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
It's very easy to use, the only trick it's that you have to maintain pressed the path field to browse your phone folders, I recommend that recreate the folder structure of your internal SD in your external SD, copy all the data files and create the binds.
I test this app in stock ICS. and stock JB 4.1.2.
This is too old and bugy
Use foldermount for better result

Hi, well, i've been searching, well, googling also. How to change the default data directory where the game gets the resources to start the game but no results.
Why?
Well as i have the 8GB version of the SGSA, i have almost 4 GB of storage, right? Well. I also bought a 16GB SD Card to store big games like FIFA 12, NOVA 3, NFS Hot Pursuit, GTA III, etc.
Well, when i download the game, it asks to download it from the apk. Well, i do it, but the problem here is that it downloads to sdcard0/Android/data (internal storage), and i want it to download to sdcard1/Android/data (external). But when i start the game, it just requests to download the whole game again.
So, is there any way to change the direction of the directory where the game uses the resources to start? (From sdcard0/Android/data to sdcard1/Android/data) Help pls

You can try with a symlink "ln -s [target] [name]" in the shell

For example you want the game data of game_xxx stored in /storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.game.xxx linked to /storage/sdcard1/Android/data/com.game.xxx, you move the whole folder and type:
ln -s /storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.game.xxx /storage/sdcard1/Android/data/com.game.xxx

Link failed, operation not permitted.
(Typed # su in the previous command, and the first ($ su) also :l)
This is what i did:
> $ su
> # ln -s storage/sdcard1/Android/data/com.ea.game.fifa12 storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.ea.game.fifa12
"Link failed Operation not permitted."

EDIT: Well it seems FAT32 doesn't allow links...
If i change the filesystem of the external sdcard what differences could there be? It's supposed to be now a flash storage partition (or something like that i understood)
(Yeah, another edit e.e):
I don't even have a computer :l is there any way to do what's mentioned in the OP without a computer?
Type "/storage" instead of "storage"
And if you want you can format your SD you can do it on cwm recovery

There is a simple method with FolderMount
It creates binds between 2 folders.
In short it's what @frapeti was giving you through manual terminal writing, in a nice GUI suite.
Before anything, thanks to frapeti and YMatrix helped me a lot, already needed it hehe

Does this work for moving apps to external sd? If yes, this would be an awesome solution for devices with low internal storage, like the Ace.

I meant moving the apk to external sd( creating apk link in /data/app and putting the apk on ext sd)
this isn't a big prob for us with 8/16 GB, but for those with 100-500 MB internal storage.

you can swap the internal memory and external memory with this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337762
or you can use foldermount, gl to sd, directory bind to transfer datas from internal to external

I use link2sd for apps and folder mount for game data, and using these I have over 4gig internal spare.

the question is how did you do it bro i can't figure out i have sandisk 16 gigs class 10 sd card..so pls tell me..
both of these apps Are free on play store.
Link2sd needs a secondary partition creating I used easeus free windows tools and set to primary. Then open app and select apps you want, then create link.
Folder mount works similar but you need to create a new folder then select which data files to copy across.
Search Google for the how to guides or xda how to use
Try clean master.

Link2SD is for those small apps that dont use /sdcard/android/data or /obb folders. FolderMount is for those huge /obb data and more. Use both for pushing all those files and apps to microsd.
