I just got my sandisk 64gb and wondering how can I move app data to sd card?. Yes, there is an option to move to sd in App settings, but this only moves apps itself, not app data.
I tried to use Titanium backup but see no options for moving apps to sd card? Please help. Thank you so much.

Get the app folder mount it's superb..
You need root access but this app will move the entire folder to SD from either data or obb.
Hope this helps.
Non rooted, you're stuck with what htc offer.

Thanks, it works for some games. But recent games such as godfire, modern combat 5, they still somehow ask to download data again.

Last time I used DirectoryBind, it didnt work. I thought I would have the same problem with foldermount. But this one works great for MC5. Thanks again. Hope this app is going to work for android 6.0 because we're gonna receive update very soon.

Is there a way to move all your apps to the sd card? I have apps2sd but I have so many apps that my internal storage is almost full even after I moved all my apps that will go. But is there a way to trick the phone to install them all to the sd card? Im rooted.
Bump, anyone?
Bumpity Bump Bump. I would also like to know the answer to this question.
i use move2sd enabler...it's on the market.
what it will do is enable it so you can move ALL apps to sd card...even those that dont let you...just keep in mind not all apps will work from the sd card. but you dont lose anything by trying.
i've moved large files like NFS Shift and other games that dont normally have the move option, and they work just fine. same thing for the fascinate lwps that you flash, etc.
try it out
install move2sd enabler, run it and click i've read, next, and set it to external. click ok. then you move the apps through the Application Management part of the Settings

Isint there something to do where you have to partition your sd card?
Hello.
Is there a app that moves the data to the external SD card?
I tried App2SD, and it didnt work!
I emailed the creator, and i got a replay:
http://android.a0soft.com/?url=App2SD.htm
I cannot find the "Move to xxx" button from application detailed information window.
Moving app to SD is handled by Android. App 2 SD app only provides an UI for you to manage it. Currently, Android only supports the primary external storage for App 2 SD. If the device does not have a real primary external storage or the primary external storage is emulated from the internal phone storage. Moving app to SD function will not be supported by Android system. It's the limitation of hardware. Please get more information from device manufacture.

You can not move your applications to external sdcard.
Two workarounds (need root)
1.google for bind directory (tested on s3 and had problems)
2.swap your int sdcard with ext scdard.thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931500 (also needs custom kernel)

From what I've read about the S3, no. That's why I was skeptical. From what I've read, you either have to use directory binder or install a mod which changes the internal storage with the sd card.

So, there is no way to do it? I really dont understand why you have an external SD that you cant used for apps or even storing Titanium backups to the EXTERNAL SD. This, as well as not being able to connect to my Hidden WAP is just about the straw that drives me back to the IPHONE. At least I know I can connect to my corporate Wifi and if I get 64gb then I truely have 64gb. Someone please ease my pain.
I think the only option for now is to use directory bind until someone made and app2sd which work for note 2 platform.

Was reading this thread and thought I'd let you know that you can choose the directory in which Titanium Backup uses to store your backups. in the backup folder location, in the preferences for Titanium Backup.
I've been having issues with directory bind. I'm going to get a larger sd card and use the swap method. I like the Note 2 to much to want to return it
Seriously people directory bind is very easy to use, just once, set the mnt/extSdCard/android/data directory from your external sd as the source, and storage/android/data as the target path.. then manually move the desired app data to the sd card folder, easy

I've partitioned my SD (30 GB Fat32 & 2 GB ext2) but there is still no "move2sd" within Titanium.
I also can't find this new partition within my "File Expert" (rooted)
Can some1 please help me??

i think you cant create ext2 partition on your external sd. Dont try that on your phone, do it with a sd card reader and pc. Then install this app (link2sd), give permission, choose ext2, reboot, and LİNK your apps to sd. Dont (also you cant) move apps. Just link... Works perfectly on my international n7100.

Check the i9505 Development forum. I believe most, if not all of their modded/stock ROMs do. Just be sure to flash a T-Mobile kernel after flashing a ROM from any other section that this one.

I heard the built in App to SD isnt very efficient and doesnt move all apps properly. But FolderMount is an app that does the job perfectly, and i highly recommend it. This one works on every ROM and ive used it to fill up my 64GB external SD card without any issues. All apps and everything moved wih this app function 100% properly.

Apps and games. You just mount the directories of the apps or games that are saved to your phone over to directories that it can automatically create for you or that you make on your SD card.

Doesn't do anyhing but cause issues. I already had files for madden12 on sd card after I used folder mount and switched files to ex card it asks me to download files again for the game. So it's useless to me. Waiting on elesbb app or somebody to come up with a switch mount script that works for all files.

Thats very strange because my apps did that with every single other app to sd card method, and would always make me re download, but this has worked for everything. Every gameloft game, every non gameloft game like Real Racing 3, works perfect. Even apps like skype and whatsapp or anything works flawlessly when i mount it to my external SD.

Did it ever give you a faulty module popup saying it needed to be patched? Cause that popped up every time i opened it for the first time and i patched it and then you have to reboot and then it works.

i would recommend trying again. When you first open and let it load it should give you that popup. Allow it to fix the fault, and then reboot the phone and it should work.

I tried it. It leaves the files in the original location (after selecting "yes" to allow them to be moved to the SD card). I confirmed they were on the SD card, but nothing was moved from the phone. What's the point? Doesn't free up any space. I tried deleting the files from the phone after they were "moved" to the SD card, and the app would not run. Error message about the SD card not being mounted.
What's the point if the files must be in both locations?? Saves no space.

From what I understand the app performs a mount with 'bind' option, the disk usage is not accurate as the system 'thinks' these files still reside on the internal sd, but are actually located on the ext. SD.

You guys should try GL to SD Root works better than folder mount or directory bind. I used it to move 7 gb's of game data to my ex card. Helped me out alot.

Oh. I see. A symbolic link, so if I delete file from what appears to be the phone, I'm actually deleting files on SD card. I get it. Thanks for clearing that up.
Hi all,
I have my phone as it came from the store. All stock, not rooted, and I have a 32 GB Class 10 SD Card in it.
Through the Settings / Application Manager / On SD Card I have the option to thick what apps I'd like to move to the SD Card.
If I check any apps it acts like it was moving the app (even if I click on "Move to SD Card") but actually it stays in the device memory.
I can "move" all the apps to the SD card, the phone will tell me that they are on the SD card and it gives me the option to move them back to the device's memory, but for real there's nothing in my sd card, and device's memory is full.
Any ideia what's the problem? That feature works very well in my old Galaxy Y Duos.
Thank you!
It's a known issue the apps are moved to the internal (emulated sdcard) not the external sdcard

That is not a bug. When you move app to SDCard, it doesn't move large data. If you want to move the data and the game still works, go to the Play Store and search for FolderMount (NEEDS ROOT). Read the instructions carefully and use it. Thats what I do to move 10GB of data and still the game works. Good Luck.

That's the workaround I use folder mount, works nice as expected when moving obb, picture, downloads, music, and documents folder to the extsdcard.
I haven't moved apps to the sdcard lately but I'm pretty sure the apps data where in the emulated when I try that option the first time.
GL to SD also works: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp

I doubt it, as this function isn't available in custom ROMs as well.
Unless it system apps you want to move, otherwise the GL to SD app I provide above will work. It just the free version only allows you link up to 5 apps.
