Well I can try but for me it sounds difficult. Maybe can you give me tutorial or something? And can you tell if I root my phone what I need to do to install games to external sd?

Just search the forum a bit

And for the transfer of game files use Folder Mount

or if you want you can always partition your SD Card and use Link2SD.
Another way is to Swap internal with external using scripts

Link2sd only moves apps themselves. But not their data files wich you have to had on sdcard.

How to remove INTERNAL SD card?

I would like to change my internal SD into a bigger one. I don't know how to do it though. Is there a way? I want to copy my apps and games on my external but I can't. That's why I wanna change the internal. Apparently it's somewhere deep in the phone. Any help is appreciated.
i dont think you can do that.
the phone have about 1.4GB for system storage and 13GB for internal SD
the game apk installed on system and game data is in internal SD
i think it has okay except you want to install all HD games on your phone
anyone can help?

You could use some ICS rom which supports switching internal & external storages. AFAIK at least the CM9 and AOKP supports it.

I don't think you can/should change the internal sd. You have 13 or 14gb of usable memory on your internal, why can't all your apps fit on there? Have you tried move2SD? Also, a majority of apps don't like to be run from a sd card.

Apps2sd and other sd apps only copy to internal. Because I have a 8gb device my internal is only about 6gb or so. I'm using ICSSGS. Maybe i'll change to some rom that supports external sd apps.
Hi, my advice: you should try Link2SD (on Market)
No more props with storeing more then 200 Apps

Please use search before you post (there are already many posts about this asked before, including mine )
zolaisugly suggested to me to use FolderMount to move folders to the external SD card.
You can "mount" specific folders to make the phone think it is on the internal SD but in fact it is actually on the external one.
It is a great app, you should try it! Thank zolaisugly for this suggestion.
Alternatively, if you want to swap the SD cards completely (which is not as smart as the suggestion zolaisugly gave), you can use this by ivan-68.
Cheers!

How did you use directory bind on sp? It didnt seem to work on mine. Folder mount does work, but i dont have account to go premium yet. Vold.fstab failed, maybe FUSE doing funny business with it.

I tested all options at Directory Bind and without copying data to SD it worked.

[Q] Install apps in SD Card

I'm planning on buying this phone. My question is, is there any mod to install apps in SD Card? Because the internal memory of this phone is slightly small(8 Gb).

Foldermount is what you are looking for
Yes folder mount works fine but you might need to use mount reboot fix

[Q] No real external SD slot?

when i try and use an app for apps 2 sd it says this phone docent have a "real" sd card when i have all my music on one and I've put card in it. am i missing something or is something wrong. Im using a rooted XP stock 4.1.2 c5306 any hall is appreciated
"real sd" mean the intern sd. The external sd can be use with root and folder mount. But what u want move on the ex sd? Music u can move with a file manager or a computer. Apps u must use from the intern and game data u can move with folder mount .

You can transfer apps to sd using link 2sd and folder mount for larger files as game data and game obb files. I made a tutorial for both of those things

Any Help? :(Rooted z1 LB now I Have a Dead SD Card

Recently rooted my z1 by NUT's method to the latest fw.I was really enjoying it suddenly this problem appears.First i copied some apk files to my SD card but recognized they dont show up in file commander or another file manager.I thought it might be because i use sd fix and folder mount programs to copy my games to SD card in kitkat.Now i have an SD card i cant read or format.
Is it working on PC?

Nothing works.I tried to format the SD on my pc in different ways eg. disc management but my effords seem to be non-sence.I guess both the SD card and internal storage of my phone turned to RAW format itself.I repaired z1 by pc companion so no more root and i feel very upset for that Internal storage now works fine but looks like my one day used SD is gone for good
So, it's dead I think. Test it on other phone, maybe this will help.

Try to format your card with this application on PC (no quick), if you still have problems then your card is dead.

I managed to format it in another pc so the next thing was formatting my pc But i tried to use it again for rooting my device but i wasnt recognised at TWRP.So i used another one to complete flashing an then put it to the device,erased all data in storage settings now it looks fine but i amm too afraid to use Folder Mount again but its features are as exactly as i want.What should i do ?
