Is there a way to have apps read their data (game data) such as asphalt/modern combat 3 etc. from the external rather than internal I've tried making the same Android /data folders on external but the apps can't find the data? Always running out of room on internal tons of room on my partitioned 32gb sd card.

RAM 512Mb but you only have aprox 326 Mb for yourself, the rest are used by the OS and System Services.
Internal SD, can come in 8GB models or 16GB models
External SD, is whatever SDHC micro SD card you want to insert into it, supports up to 32GB micro SD cards
the Internal SD is split in 2 GB for System OS Apps, and whatever is left over is yours to use.
the Internal SD is aprox a Class 4 SD card
Amd what about system types on internal sd? What is reason for so slow stock i/o? FS type? LagFix i choosed store data on same chip...

exactly because of that the internal SD is split into 2 active partitions, by having the swap file on another SD card, then it lessen the access time

Ok! But..... CFLagFix-1.70 moves files to internal SD, not external.
It was in internal, and became also internal. So what's the difference?
Ok, maybe another partition, but same storage! May by file system structure, heard about some journals??? or what else??
I use a 32GB class 10 micor SD. I tried to transfer the isntalled apps from phone to the external SD using "App 2 SD". I note that the apps were actually moved to the internal SD card but not the external SD. The photos and the video can be saved to the exteranl SD though.
I am new user of Android phones. Did I do anything wrong or app just can't be saved in external SD?
the internal sd is your external sd for app2sd.
earlier phones didnt have an internal sd. so there it was written on the external.
maybe you could reroute the paths. but for an normal user this could be hard.
So I think all phone with intwrnal SD Card has the same poblem.
Can the problem be solved when upgraded to 2.3?

Jup, all phones with an internal sd have this probs afaik.
but you can change the paths, so the external card becomes the internal.
i dont know how the paths are routed in gingerbread, but it should be tha same.
if you want to change this search in the dev section, there is a description.
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,
~jesse
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.
I've just downloaded Sims freeplay, but it downloads 600mb of downloaded data taking up a good portion of my internal SD. The game itself is installed to the external SD, just not the 600mb data.
I'm on my phone now so ive only been able to do about 15 minutes of searching. I've found app2sd, and link2sd, but as far as I know they don't transfer the android/data to the external as?
How can I do this?

Plug into PC and turn on USB mass storage mode then find the folder you are looking for and just drag it from one window to the other

Well I've already tried that. You mean creating "android/data" on my external SD and copying the folder to that directory? When I launch sims it says I need to download the data. I've also tried adding a shortcut with the same name in the internal SD directory just to see if it would go to the external SD, still no.
Some apps need to have data on the internal card for faster recall I believe

Anything else? I have 1.2GB left on my internal SD, this is enough for the downloaded data of 1 or 2 big games, while my external SD has lots of free memory..

You can't. The only ROM that will allow it is CyanogenMod.
OR until we can do data2sd.
It is possible to do this. Download an app called gl to sd from the market. It works great with transferring gameloft games to external sd. It can work with other games too but i've noticed it's more hit or miss with non gameloft games.
Hey guys
Just installed a 64gb SanDisk card works fine installed all my psx roms to the card partitioned 30gb the other is partitioned for linktosd I have also linked all my installed apps from internal storage ok using linktosd app but have noticed that it does not move all data to the ext sd card just data is this correct as I really want to use the ext card as my main storage not the internal 10gb which I have only 3gb left its abit annoying as I have 25gb it use on the ext sd card
Does anyone knows if this is the norm as its a pain moving data around instead of using the bigger to and from storage
Thanks

Hi.
Can anybody suggest the best way of managing data too or from ext sd card for apps for using a 64 gb card ad I would like the Xperia t to use this card as a primary memory instead of moving data around from internal sd to the ext sd card added its a pain to do this all the time as my system resources are getting sluggish this method due the amount of data stored internally on the phone as I have only 2gb left play with with around 24gb on the ext sd card
Thanks
