Hello.
I have installed a class10 micro sdcard on my galaxy note.
I would like to know if the 16G is faster than my sdcard or my sdcard ?
Is it more interessting to put the apps and the cache on the internal memory or on the sdcard ???? (and can i use app2sd if external card is faster ?)
Also, in es explorer i can not find the directory of the external sdcard.
Do you know where it is ?
Thank you
The internal memory is always faster. The name of the folder is "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

Hey guys, I just bought the tab yesterday and found that I was not able to move the compatible apps to the SD card (internal sd)
When I try to move it says:
failed to move application. No sd card.
Btw, I have the tab with only the 16g internal memory, no external sd card inserted.
Sorry for the noob question, hove u guys cn help...

Evidently you need an external sd card for app2sd to work, but you really need it?
You got 2gb of internal memory for the apps, it should be enough for an huge amount of applications

Yes ur correct, 2g is definetly enough...
Just curious if there's a problem with my tab..
Just wondering if theres a way to have it move to the internal sd...
Thanks for your help...

Id like to to have the external SD card mounted as /mount/ instead of /removable.
Is it possible what do I need to modify.
The same thing with Usbdisk if possible.
Another thing, can /download be under externalSD card instead of internal?
I am using Thor.
Thank you very much and Happy New Year to all

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?
