Hello,
I'm looking in forum but can't find any answer...
We can move the data of games, for example sdcard/gameloft to sdcard/external-sd/gameloft and the games continues running? Or can't do it, cuz the path is internal on the apk?
Thank you!
Settings Applications .
If you can move a product it will show move to SD card or not .
jje
lol... ¬¬
I'm no asking for this man...I don't want move the apk to sd. I want move the data of games that are close 300mg each...
Thank you anyway
No one know?
I just want move some data games to external_sd card.
Maybe making a new partition on external sd and linking with sd internal as do the folder asec (on /mnt/asec/ ) that is /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/.android_secure
Thank you!
From reading this: http://www.link2sd.info/description I understood that it can move anything in /data/app to SD card.
Is this the only folder that gets moved to SD? Are there any others?
Hi!
There is a way on CM 10.1 /CM 10.2 to swap the external SD card to be seen as internal? The 11extsd2internalsd.txt is working on stock based roms, but not in CM and I can't find any solution for this. I don't want bind methods or swap images.
Edit:
FolderMount has the ability to mount folders which contains subfolders, like entire Android folder - you need to disable Destination folder checks. You can also mount entire partition, but you''ll loose the access to the internal sdcard and gallery will show duplicates as it thinks you have the identical data on both partitions.
I have tried to Google this issue with little success. What happens is I used to have the Xperia Ray (GB 2.3.4) where apps like ZDBox can detect my Samsung 32GB microSD and moved apps to SD without issue. Now with the SP, it cannot see the ext SD at all (but Cleanup Master still can). Another issue is that SD Tools was able to display the Samsung SD ROM data on the Ray but can't now with the SP. Also, SD Booster used to recommend 2048 for 32GB SD on the Ray, but now saying 512 is optimal? I am so confused. Is it a SP or JB 4.1.2 issue? Both are rooted BTW.
Because the Sp has internal memory mounted as SD card you won't be able to move apps to SD card.
To move apps and data a lot of people use link2sd to move apps to ext SD card and apps like folder mount to move game data/obb files to ext SD card.
Only works if rooted.

The problem is that link2SD din't move the /data/data/x folder to the ext2 Sd partition, then if you have a lot of files there (like music temporal files of Google Music) the benefits are poor.

It will not move it. It will mount it in this point.
Link2SD can move data to other partition. But. You have to had two partitions on sd card. First one in FAT on wich you hold any files (music, movies...) and second on wich you will move app data. With new version you can have on second partition ext2, ext3, or fat filesystem.
You need to have root of course. You can try make only one partition in sdcard, but in this case you have to make ext2 or ext3 partition on SDCard and I really dont know if it work. I didnt see option in link2SD where you can set your data partition so it will try to find second partition on sdcard.
I use 32GB sd card with 16GB with FAT filesystem and 16 in ext3 to move app data there.
To create 2nd partition you need to use PC and a partition creating tool I use easeus maker.
You need to create partition and make it primary,if you use fat32 it will be supported by stock ROM.
Once done put card back in phone start link2sd and it will find new partition and ask how to handle select format that matches yours.
Then you can link all the apps you want apart from system apps.

I usually use AParted to format all my partitions on SD card from my phone.
As I said before, in my phone link2SD din't manage /data/data/x folder on second partition (ext2, ext3, ...), only manage /data/app/x and probably others.
Then if you try to move to ext2 partition (link) any app with a lot of data files stored, alll this files din't point to ext2, will remain in internal memory.
For exmaple:
Try to download Google Music app, link this app to ext2 partition. Now in app make ready a lot of file in offline mode. It will store all this temp song files in /data/data/com.google.andorid.music folder.
Now check in Link2SD and with any filebrowser, you will see that this files are always in internal memory because link2SD din't manage /data/data/x to link it to second partition on external sd.
Sorry I can't help any more as I dont use that app you said. I do use link2sd and have no issues when linking the app to the ext SD card.
Remember you may see info still on data/app but the contents are sym linked.
But if you are sure you have set 2nd partition correct to primary and using fat32( stock supports this)
I can't help you further sorry

I ended up just using Clean Master moving 19 apps to SD. There are many can't be moved but not too bad consider it is far more convenience than Folder Mount. I also removed SD booster which was tested to offer no speed advantage. Next will be battery drain problem. Boy I feel I have spent more time tweaking the android than actually utilizing it.

Now I'll check that once again (I had to buy new SD Card) and you have right. Link2SD move only:
APK File - /data/app/*.apk
Dex files - /data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]*.dex
Libraries - /data/data/*/lib/app_libraries
And other things from /data/data/ stays there. Only libraries are moved from this folder ((
But Its a solution. Just use FolderMount from Google Play It works awesome.
Hi there,
The medscape app downloads its database to internal storage, is there anyway to move the folder to sd card?
Link2SD doesn't link the database folder and folder mount shows permission error as far as I remember
How can I move or link this folder to SD Card on Nokia X2?
Thanks

If you have partitioned your sdcard then you can move the apps to your second partition
