Well the things you want to move are system files I suppose, so Wadda you think? You can only generally mess with system while rooted.

Not the system files..
I want to move the game data thats hogging my memory.
For eg fifa 14 data is over 1 gb same with asphalt.

No moving apps to SD on GS4?!

Why the heck doesnt the S4 have an option to move apps to SD?
Can anyone explain to me the reason behind this and more importantly is there a way around this?

Use the folder mount apk. It enables an folder emulator inside a extSdCard and move the files from sdcard to external sdcard. It solved my problem...
it's android as a whole, not just the S4.

Installing apps to the sd card on an att galaxy s4

I need a method for installing apps to my sd card on my 16gb galaxy s4. I have tried using the folder mount app but this method only stopped my apps from working. I heard that there had been a ota update released that integrates this into the stock software, but I haven't heard any news about it coming to the att galaxy s4.

So far app2sd has just come out for the I9500/9505. you should be able to run one of the I9505 Roms with no problems.

Folder mount works best way better than apps 2 sd in a rom I have 7 gbs of games moved to my sd card and still have 7gbs free on internal storage with over 100 apps installed

He said he tried it already and didn't like it

I tried it as well and only ended up with the same game data on both my internal and external memory. I didnt like it either. So I'll wait for the update to come to at&t.

If your firmware is newer then xxuamea then you have the option to move an app to sd in the app info window.

Guys, you're confusing him. As Disturbed said you can't move the data on the sd card, only the app itself. So app = 30 mb, data = 1gb, only app (30mb) will be moved to the sd. Basically this function is useless and won't help with the low space, but makes it look like Samsung cares about its customers.
Only way to move the data is by rooting and using an app like foldermount (can't say it's 100% the only way, i'm still a bit noobish on android, but that's what I found everywhere)

Nandroid saved to device

I was backing up my stock rom and for some reason (probably my fault) it saved to my internal memory instead of sd card. Can I simply move it over using file explorer? Any help?

Yes, you can just move it over. You can use the stock my files app if you'd like.

Does sdcard gets formated after swap partation

Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app
If you create a 2nd partition with swap in cwm your sd card will be formatted - always backup data first before partitioning
copy all your sd card folders & files to your pc then copy them back after partitioning
I want to do partation for increasing ram

So yes, it will get wiped. Also, it would b good to make a ext partition too if ur probably using swap to run more apps. Meaning more storage.
