N4's gonna be my first android device and I'm very excited to try out the new games on it!
As far as I understand, you can use Android Injector to copy APKs on your phone. But what about games that have SD data since N4 doesn't even have a SD card. Is there any alternative location on the phone itself (that I can access using root explorer or sth similar) where I can copy the SD data?
You can mount a virtual SD card via MTP on the Nexus 4, and simply copy over the game data as you would with any normal SD card (at least in Windows, other OSes get more complicated)
On android phones with internal memory it shows up as
/sdcard0 or /sdcard
So everything should be fine

Google the program SyncBack Free. Its excellent at moving large directories and files.
Easiest way.
Connect to computer, copy everything off sd card, copy everything to new sd. easy as.
Yep, connect to a pc, copy all from old SD card to pc, then from pc to new SD card. Worked for me all the time.
I use simple backup to keep a regular backup of my SD Card by mounting USB to my ubuntu box, so install your new card in the DHD then restore Simple backup
Hi
I recently got a SD card with a higher capacity than my current one and am looking to migrate whatever software android uses with my existing card. So far I've installed most on the phone memory but some like Aldiko reader have some components on the SD card and the program crashed when I switched cards.
How can I ID and migrate the essential files to the new card? Or will I have to reinstall all the apps with the new card? I don't have very many apps installed.
Thanks
Put original SD card in phone, plug phone into computer usind the USB, select disk drive. Then open up the mass storage device and select all, then copy to a temporary folder on your PC. Eject the mass storage device from PC
Now insert new SD into phone, go to menu, settings, SD and storage. From here unmount SD and then erase/format SD. When complete mount SD card. Then connection to PC and copy everything back to your new SD card.
Hope this helps

I want to upgrade to a bigger memory card, but most of my games and apps are installed to the memory card. Would I just plug in up to my computer and copy all the folders over? Or move the apps to my phone, switch cards and then move them to the new memory card?
and would I still keep all my app settings and game save files?
Just copy one card to the next it will work just the same

Yup, just done this - replaced the 8GB card that came with my handset with a 32GB one.....plugged both cards into my PC and copied all contents from 8GB to 32GB then chucked it in the phone - simples
Make sure you copy hidden folders too, and android.secure, thats the folder with apps you've moved to SD card
what about if i have sd card partition? i have 16gb and planning to upgrade to 32.. but i have 1gb partition because of link2sd, but my pc cannot detect that partition, what would i do?
Ude a position manager e.g. easeus to copy hidden partitions

Hey there im new here on XDA but I was wondering if its possible to run Apps through stickmount using my flash drive or would I need an SD card + adapter to be able to run apps directly. Also gameloft games download an additional 2GB or so depending on the game would this download to the flash drive and be playable from the drive itself or would I need an SD card reader + SD card in order for it to work on my nexus 7 that I preordered.
editff-topic I also wanted someone to direct me on how to add a custom signature to my posts here on XDA. Thanks
Bump
anyone?
You cannot run apps through stickmount. it is only for accessing data media and other types.
all apps and app data must be on the internal memory.
Card reader
Thanks but you can run apps from an SD card. If I used my OTG cable with a SD card reader attached with a 16GB sd card will I be able to store and use my apps from there in my Nexus 7?

No, it's not a "True" SD Card, it still acts like a flash drive.

So essentially no way of running apps from outside flash storage what so ever? Just movies, pictures and files?
Right.

correct.
The internal memory setup emulates an sd card by adding an /sdcard directory.
there is no way to have another directory with that name and all apps are coded to store their information in the /sdcard directory. doing it any other way would break the app for all devices.
i can sure understand why you'd want to do that, but basically it's not possible.
best thing i can recommend is to keep all of your videos on external storage since those are the largest files you'll have.

Just thinking out loud here, but is it possible to rename the internal SD directory? I'm guessing no being that something so conceivably simple hasn't already been done.

Since you are already rooted you could always try this app it may give you the results you require. Bearing in mind that this was originally developed for the S2.

SD cards are too slow to run graphic intensive games (especially THD or Gameloft)
Since I got the SD card to function, I get notifications to move the app the to the SD card,
Since also charges the Nexus 7, would there be harm in moving some of these apps that I do not use that much?
I also use SBP Shell and sometimes I run out or memory. *They sent me a app to run but it dumps it to the SD Card. *I am pretty sure that I can get it to error on me before it needs recharging. *Or does anyone else run into this issue?
Thank you!
I have no idea what you're trying to ask us. unless you've done some mod that no one else has finished yet to get a separate SD card in your n7 then you're probably talking about the /sdcard/ folder?
firstly theres no need to use a apps2SD app, as its all the same on the n7. When these apps are used on phones and devices with separate SD cards, its to transfer data from the user (not superuser) area of the phone memory to the SD card, but on the n7 it reads that folder as the SD card and automatically installs everything there anyway.
I think you need to reword your question =S

Are you referring to running apps from an external mem card using an OTG cable and Stickmount?
