So the sp does not support moving apps to the sd card. As a result of this, having the phone for a week I keep getting warnings to say the memory is over 75% full. Is there a way around this yet? I really like the standard Rom and hope I don't have to wait for custom roms.

for this u should have root access (on a custom rom)
it will allow u to mount external memory to internal
:good:
Move everything else to sd that you can, photos music downloads etc.

To root XSP go HERE
Well it all Google fault to limit the movement to sdcard. But there's always few apps that natively supported moving data to sdcard.
For now, without root I have to use clean master to delete junk file on my XSP every few day

I would like to have the micro SD as a default location like on my old phone.
Now all app data I backup (like WhatsApp or trafficmanager) goes to sd0 internal. So everyone I want to whipe the phone I have to move it by hand. Verry time consuming.
Apps I just want installed on internal.
I have root. What's the best way to achieve this?

Download Link2SD, moves all your apps and app data to your sd card and any future data will aswell, however you'll have to manually link every app.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
You need root to use these apps.
When using link 2sd you have to create a secondary partition on PC make it primary and use fat32 this is supported by stock.
You can link all apps to extsd
I use foldermount pro to move game data to extsd. As a result of using both these apps I have over 4gig free on internal.

I recently installed GalaxyICS to my Ace, only with CyanogenMod 7.x I was able to move all apps to the SD card, creating more space.
Is there anyway to do the same kind of thing with GalaxyICS? As I install quite a few apps, and am starting to run low on internal storage. :/

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

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.

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.
Hi guys,
I know this may sound noobish to many but just wanted to ask and confirm this finally.
does the Xperia SP have a free for all storage format for the 8 GB pardon me 5.5 GB internal emmc storage as in can an app take up all 5.5 GB or is it partitioned into app data and sdcard0.
also this question is for stock and cyanogenmod.
Thanks,

The SD card is emulated so internal and SD card share the same space.
While you can use the space it may impact on system apps and speed etc.

The emulated storage (joined data and internal sdcard) has been standard in android for a long time now. Only old and ultra low cost phones using very old chips will still use the 'old' method.
