If you need it for games data, then try Obb on SD xposed module, but it moved only the obb folder. Big games like asphalt and others use obb folder.
I've used it and it does it's job.

I'm Also Using A Galaxy J5 But For Some Reason, Link2SD+ Doesn't Work On My Device (error: Link2SD package invalid) So I Use Apps2SD Pro And It Works Like A Charm

You can move main apps but not apps'libs file so yeah still you can free up some more :good:
Use Apps to Sd on your device. You can download it from google play.
In Link2SD if I try the "Move to SD card" function it give me the following warning message "App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to your SD card." A similar warning message is giving AppMgr III app.
On the other hand, on Symbolic Link (of Link2SD) the message - Root Access Warning - Link2SD could not obtain root access and Create link button is deactivated (gray).
In order to free us some space, is there a way to move / link the apps to 2 SD card without to have root access on a Samsung Galaxy Express i8730 ?
Thanks,

How to save/move Apps to SD card?

Hi could anyone tell me how to save Apps to an SD card in my Z2?
You cant... its because Google decided to restrict it in 4.4

You can't, read about the restrictions of KitKat. and if you have root you can use an app to do that.
Seriously? Can't believe I just found out... what is the point of this restriction? is andriod trying to copy Apple with their restricted iphone storage?

I don't think Google likes SD cards, and they try to promote their Google Drive. None of the Nexuses have SD card slots.

What about applications though, you can exactly move them to cloud to free up space. The Z2 only has 16gb and with apps getting bigger and bigger that's really going to be a big limitation.

So your apps use 12GB storage? That is how much free space you have. For backup apps you can just move the backup folder to SD card. You can have Nandroid backup on SD card aswell.
Also music and films go to SD card. There are exploits for Spotify to move the folder to the SD card.

What about photos? But true, unless I am going to get massive games like GTA I should be fine I guess.

You should be able to save photos/videos to SD card still (there's an option in the camera app).
There is an option to transfer data like videos, photo's & music in "storage" , which I know does not solve the problem but is good news for Z2 developers because this shows that it's possble to do it & create roms with that purpose in mind...
There's no problem on galaxy devices coz their native folder manager "My files" bypasses this restriction.
I hope Sony creates their own native manager to fix that!

Could someone test following: connect device with usb debugging, start cmd and try adb shell pm set-install-location 2. Only do it if you know adb.

Hi guys! Do have any roms in mind that can transfer apps to sd card? I just bought my Z2 and i also have a 128gb sd card. Im having 2nd thoughts installing custom rom but if the stock rom cant allow me to install apps to sd, i will have no choice but to install that rom. Thank you!

Try a Xposed module named XInternalSD
Try foldermount. On my Z2 it works but I have the premium version. I am not sure if it also works with the free version.

Free version should work also, I believe difference is in number of pairs allowed.
Thanks for the reply guys! I tried folder mount and it indeed worked for me. But i have another concern, i dont know if its just my phone or others are also having this issue. Do you have problem installing some apps? It says No space available but i still have 9gb available in my internal card. Hope u can suggest what i can do to install any app i want. Thank you!

Let's go out on a limb here but have you tried folder mount?
Still can't do it with new update?
So let me get this straight, even with the new update(4.4.4), you still can't move apps to sdcard on the Z2???
I'm unrooted/stock, just got the device, but I'm shocked to know this, I should've looked more into it before making the purchase. I have link2sd, and I noticed it just takes me to the app in app info(which I could do by myself through settings), and I still don't have an option to move apps to sd card.
Am I missing something? I have to root to move apps to sdcard with the z2 on the latest stock rom and firmware??
I didn't want to start a new thread and saw this one, among others.

Move2sd workaround. Good info!

Check this out!
Combine these 2, do some manual moving and you can use the sd card like you used to with 4.3 and earlier!
Sdfix app:

And.
Obb to SD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-obb-sd-v0-1-t2884004
Not sure how it works with games or apps working with data folders, yet obb is mostly used. So the biggest problem is solved!

I use Folder Mount app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount

Absolutely SICK of running out of space. Can I have apps fully on the SD card ?

Is it possible to fully install apps on my SD card instead of the phone itself?
As the games I'm wanting to play are around 1.5-2gb Each and I can only have like 2 installed at a time.
When I move to SD card it only moves around 50mb of the game over and keeps most of it on the phone
Is it not possible to play games that are fully on the SD card?
Yes but you need root access and ROM Toolbox

I use an app called FolderMount that can move over large folders to the external SD card and then map it as if it were still there. I use it for games mostly. Some games take up a TON of space. You need to have root first.
