Yes we can. there are softwares which can do it. But among then "Folder Mount" is the best for S4. The free version allows you only three games to mount. But pro version can mount any amount of games depending on your size of extSDcard.

Installations on Internal SD vs External SD

When I have installed games like Sniper vs Sniper, Homerun Battle 3d and Asphalt. They all have me to download more files but they are always installed on the internal SD instead of the External SD. Is there a way to prevent this?
anyone have any ideas?
Any reason why you would NOT want them on the near 2 gigs allocated?
I want the installations to go on the External Card and they are all installing on the internal card. Maybe the thread topic is misleading....
No, just curious why 2 gigs is not enough. Especially when faster than external. Doesn't make sense...
Its the way the SDs are mounted. Sdcard/sd is the external. The app just looks for sdcard/ which is the internal.
He's taking about the internal sd not the /data apps dir.

Yes thats what im referring to. I want everything to be on the external. On other phones like the Evo, the games "extra" files are installed on the Ext SD Card.
correct me if I'm wrong. My understanding is there are 3 storage options:
1. Phone's 2GB internal memory: this is where apps are installed
2. Phone's 12GB internal memory: internal memory you can mount to PC and move files back and forth
3. External SD card slot: can use up to 32GB of microSD card here.
OP, what exactly are you looking to do? Put the apps installed on the 2GB internal ROM on the external SD card? I don't think this is doable w/o rooting, maybe 2.2 Froyo will have it.

Games like Homerun Battle 3d. When you install it, it tells you that it has to download more information to store on your SD Card. On the HTC Evo, the downloaded information stores on the external SD Card in the /com2us folder. On the Vibrant, the extra information that is downloaded stores on the internal SD card in the same folder. I would rather have all the extra info store on the EXT SD Card.

Sorry I wasn't really clear on my on my post. Most phones don't have an internal SD card, so the standard mount for the external SD card is the sdcard/ partition, so the app automatically mounts the data there. You'll have to reprogram the app to see the SGS external SD card mounting directory of sdcard/sd

App To SD

The new update gives functionality of transferring apps to sd card but when I transfer an app to SD it remains in internal memory and there is no change to my external memory card. Can anyone tell me where does it exactly go and what actually happens when i move my app to sd??

Well app to sd card option moves the apk u installed in the SD card but it keeps the data in internal memory only.. so incase u take the memory card out u cannot run the application and its done this way so that u can free up some space in ur internal memory for other use etc
What is bigger, the APK or data?
u can use terminal or folder mount to link that data in external sdcard to phones memory! so phone thinks its on phones but its on sd! btw u may experiance lag or slow loading and stuff! havent tryed my self i got no space problem on 8gb version i just bought it im currently downloading more games! like rapid gt and others
also try to save some space whit moving everything to sd expect game data!

Most of the time its data that is big
example Need for speed is abt 13 mb app size and the data we need to download is abt 600 mb and after its extracted its abt 1.6 gb
I already use pro version of Folder mount but i just had a doubt that samsung is providing the old method of moving apps to sd again but still i see no diff in my internal storage as i have already moved many internal apps to sd using the new function but still i see my ext sd is empty and the apk remains in int memory only ......

Yes data of the app remains in the internal memory card only just to verify u just take the memory card and see those app will ask for car to be inserted
and ya since only the apps are mvng and it may be small in size u dont see may not notice the change in internal memory available

Foldermount, in the app store. Can't remember if I paid for it but I can put anything I want onto the external sd card and "pin" it so it looks like its on internal... Works well with a 64gb sd card...

COuld you tell me a bit more about this app? How to "pin" it?
You open the app, transfer the folder you want transfered to the external sd card and then you pin it using foldermount. It is really quite easy and the app shows you what to do the 1st time....
I've transferred my Android folder with all the appdata and obb files onto the sd card, a lot of the internal folders too. Haven't had any problems BUT I do have a class 10 samsung 64gb sd card....

I have the folder mount app and i have alredy pinned my deezer data folder since the beggining, even so my internal memory is still beeing used. As far as i can see its using both, the source folder and the destination folder.
How can i clear the source folder and only use the destination folder?

Yes, apparently when you browse through 'my files" you can see data file in both ext n int sd. But it should be using only ext sd if you have mounted it correctly. Try unmounting the game data, delete the profile from folder mount and remount it. Remember if you have done something wrong and tell. I can help you.

Yeah, i´ve done that several times alredy. Its still using my internal memory. Correct me if i am wrong but if i am downloading something to the source folder that i have pinned it should automatically go to the destination folder and don´t use my internal memory, correct?

When you use folder mount, you are prompted to transfer to destination folder and if u hit yes then it will be transferred. It works perfectly on mine. Maybe u should try formatting the sdcard n try again.

The files are there, there´s nothing wrong with the sd card, but they are also in the internal memory. I wish they weren´t so i could clear some storage in my internal memory. The app prompet me just like you sad but now they are both in the internal memory and in the sd card. I just wanted to use the sd card and not the internal memory.

Then first of all, unmount the game data in folder mount and delete that profile. it will prompt you to tranfer file to source. Hit no ( let it be on extsd). And then see whether the game file is still in the internal sd ? Or else try to mount a new game data present or put some game data on sd and try to mount it and note the amount of free space. after mounting, check the amount of free space. It should be different.

Forget foldermount, this mod works like a charm on S4!
pls help to swap memory on i9500, 4.4.2

S4 SD Card is on internal memory WTF!

I just installed NFS Most Wanted on my S4 and it is 1.88Gb
It tells me SD card data 1.85gb but that is on the actual internal memory.
If I actually move the data folder from the Android folder in main memory to the Android folder on the sd card the games can't find the files and downloads them again.
WTH does it think internal memory is SD card and not my actual 64gb sd card?
Really starting to get annoyed at these retarded limitations google are putting on android.
Folder Mount is what you need from the play store. Check it out.

EXACTLY WHICH I FIND BUT DIDNT GET SUCCEED YET:crying:
first of all,
you cant swap internal memory (internal SD) to external sdcard as both Are different...
what you can swap is the /data folder which is THE INTERNAL APP STORAGE PARTITION.
and you may evn move(link) the /system/app folder to sdcard.
but for all this firstly we need
1) mounting script
2) ext3/ext4 modules
3) MOST IMPORTANTLY, a kernel with init.d support.

Use Folder Mount:
1)Download Folder Mount apk
2)Grant the application Root access by Superuser
3)Create the pairs.There is an option for automatically creation of pairs too once we select source folder.
4)Wait during transferring of files to ext SD card.
5)Once done open List of pairs option enable the pair and play the game.
Root access is required.
It works great no lag.I am using transcend 32Gb class 10 memory card.i have total around 18GB games on my phone.
please devs do something for this memory swaps....messed up with this memory prbs..
Any progress?
