1. root
2. instal "foldermount" from google play (and do what you want)
all bigest app like game etc you may mount that way (system don-t see it but this file is there .....its genius)
.....and thats it
cheers
I've tried foldermount but failed. I am direct installing apps to sdcard with builtin feature. Foldermount fails to move files and it showing a error in statusbar. So how can I move files like facebook data files from /data/data/ folder to sdcard, thus I can save internal memory. Pls help.

What is this? I can not undetstand. Pls reply with some details.

have you root your device or configure the folder on folder mount correctly? working perfectly on my A3000, but if you still fail, you can try update the frimware, it'll split your internal drive, search for a3000 frimware that doesnt contain fuse names
hope it'll help

Small games like temple of run,subway surfers, I think you can move them from app manager,
just go to "setting" then select "apps', then select "downloaded", now tap the app which you want to move to sd card, there you will found an option "move to sd card" just select this option and you are done
But for those apps you can't move using app manager you can move them with folder mount or using 3rd party app manager like app 2 sd, just Google it

You cant and here is why:
If app uses any of the following features, it cannot be installed on the external storage. It's required by Android system.
App Widgets,
Services,
Input Method Engines,
Live Wallpapers,
Live Folders,
Alarm Services,
Account Managers,
Sync Adapters,
Device Administrators

With Titanium Backup, there's a batch operation to move all installed apps to external storage. But, if you want to install them directly to sd card, go to settings/cyanogenmod settings/applications. Then, check "Allow application moving", and set "Install location" to external.

Anyone ever successfully move application data to external SD card for Galaxy 2 7.0 which uses Android 4 ICS? Is there any ROM having successfully handle this?
I tried several solutions posted on internet, but no luck to get it work.
Not yet but how many apps do you have that is filling up your tab that quickly?

I would be interested in this too. My copilot GPS for example has about 1.4GB or because of the built in maps. I used the App2SD app on my previous GB version of this tablet to free up space and would like to move this over at some point.
Maybe the app2sd can not resolve your problems about it, I think app2sd just can move files inside apk to your extsdcard but no other files like the files download when the game run first time.
but you can make it by using scriptManger which can mount internal folders to extsdcard .

use Directory Bind. It's on play store.
Also try GL to SD(Root) if you are rooted... it's in the Play Store.... It was designed to move Gameloft datafiles to the ExtSDCard but other users have discovered that it also moves other game data files as well.
+1 for GL to SD(ROOT)
I am new to Android but not Linux. I wonder if you opened a terminal and create a soft link. Would this not work?
Guys.
When i try to download GL 2 SD from the Play store it says 'Error - Insufficient Storage Space'.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me please.
Many thanks

Sent from my Lenovo A390_ROW using xda app-developers app
its impossible to increase internal memory - its like a hard drive you cant make it bigger without putting a new one in
you can free up internal memory by linking apps to a 2nd ext sd partion
search how to use link2sd and create a 2nd ext partition on your sd card

It is impossible to increase internal memory from the phone. Instead you can borrow some from sd card.
Your phone must be rooted.
Make a second partition in your sd card and use private apps such as link2sd, app2sd, etc to move the apps to that second partition.
Also set the install location to sd card.
And then start installing the games you want.
Feel free to PM me. I will always be there to help.

Hi I have recently bought Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7inch with 8 GB internal memory and 4 gb user available. I am using and 16GB external SD card. I copied game cache into external sd card Android/obb folder and installed the game but the game cache is not recognized. But if i copy the same into internal storage Android/obb its working fine. Is there any way to fix this with out rooting the phone. As the user available internal memory is very low i can not install many games.
Look for SD Card Kit Kat Fix in the play store by JRummy. That will probably solve your problem. I tried installing GTASA by putting the obb data in SD Card but it didn't work even with SD Card Fix.

I believe not. You must do it to emulated/0/sdcard

If i am not wrong "emulated/0/sdcard" is the path of internal storage i want to install the app in an external storage. Is there a way to do that with out rooting the device. There is an nextapp sdfix app available in play store but the device nees to be rooted. I googled for the solution but all the solutions works only on rooted devices. So my question is there a way to solve this without rooting the device
No, you need to use an app like Foldermount to be able to move games with OBB directory, all methods require root.

Yeah, foldermount does it. It will link /sdcard/android/obb to /extsdcard (needs root)
