ExtSd2InternalSd for SGS4? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please,
I need a mod ExtSd2InternalSd for SGS4.
The mod for SGS3 works in SGS4?
Ty. Sorry my english.

This is not available yet, but probably will be in the future. For now you can try FolderMount app from marketplace if you are rooted and just move the folders that take the most space to the ExtSD.

But its works for game data?
Thank you.

Yes, That's what I'm using right now and have data from space hungry games on ExtSD. For this to work the data of the game needs to be stored on the emulated internal SD, so somewhere under /mnt/sdcard. Most of the games will store data in /mnt/sdcard/Android/data or obb, so those can be moved to SD. I have about 9GB of game data moved to ExtSD this way.

I try on my i9500..
Te for the help..

[Q] Apps disappear after boot! A2SD

Hello, im an owner of a EU Leo, and I just installed some roms that have sense included in them on NAND, so I need A2SD...
Everything was smooth an i moved all apps that can be moved to SD and rebooted for the first time.. Then BAM! You wait for a little and only 24 apps recover out of 60, all the other apps are GONE! can anyone please help me to avoid this?
This is the ROM I'm currently using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954369 (however, its not the first rom that made this happen)
Thank you!
P.S The apps arent completely gone, if you go to application you can see they are on sd but they have a long name small memory taken and an Micro SD card icon instead of their icon..
Why are you moving them??
That rom aswell as majority of others use a partition on your sd card and automatically move the apps or data there for you. You have absolutely no need to move them at all.
Just partition your sdcard with CWM, 1GB and then 0MB swap.
Hmmm, I move them to get more space shouldnt I? I partitioned it with 1GB ext3 primary and thats all I did, then i revcovered with titanium backup and installed App2SD from he market to give me a notification for every app installed on internal memory to move it to sd, and I move them! Plz correct my actions!
will any1 plz reply?

They should automatically be moving to sd-ext. They will likley be showing as internal as teh sd-ext will be reporting as internal memory. When you move them you are probably breaking them.
Start over, Install some apps then reboot device and check your internal or sd-ext storage space via Titanium and see what it says.

ISO more tips to clean up internal storage

The small internal storage is catching up to me. I am running low. I've rooted my phone and deleted as much bloatware as I can. But I still have too many apps that need to run internal and I believe a lot of data for apps, even if that app is move to external, is still on the internal. I do clean out the cache periodically but it is not enough. Any other cool tricks to try? I guess I will eventually resort to prioritizing internal apps and removing the ones lower on the list.
man I love this phone but which the internal storage was bigger or I can take more advantage of my big SD card.

if you have rooted you can try link2sd or app2sdx
If you are rooted then have you thought of turning some of then into system apps.
This will move into system portion of the internal space which does not show up in free space.
In effect you have 2 partitions one for the Rom and needed system apps like home launcher etc.
The other partition is where you move apps to internal storage.
Move all gapps there, move flash player, and any other apps that are big on space.
To move either use titanium backup or root explorer.

You can't make the flash player a system app; it needs to stay in the data partition to work.

For all this time I had SDMove and thought link2sd and apps2sd were the same when it is not. Never realized link2sd allows me to move those "non-movable" apps to reside external storage. works great and was able to free up more internal space. THANKS!

Make a partition of SD card and link apps to SD
Just Google how to link to SD
U will get hundreds of results
Prefer xda ones
If u r a noob watch a video after reading the procedure ...
Hit thanks
If u still have doubts after doing all this post here ... we can help
use the almighty search tool!!!! search for terms like data partitioning etc. good luck

jonny789 I would love to know how you managed that if you are properly using Link2SD - just how many apps have you got installed?!
If you partition the SD using CWM recovery and choose 1024mb and 0mb at the two options (after backing up all data to the pc of course!) then reboot the phone when you open Link2SD it should ask you to confirm the type (EXT2/3/4 or FAT etc) - I pick EXT3 or 4 cos sometimes one won't work and I get an error so just use the other.
You will now have a second (hidden) partition and if you set your default save location to "External" all the apps you install will go to the main partition on the SD card. From there you can move them to internal storage (widgets, system apps like keyboards etc) or (preferably) link files to SD which will move a good chunk of the data to that hidden partition.
I have never come even close to using that 1gb of extra app storage and my internal memory is currently 61% free (73.04mb used, 117mb free). Of course lots of games and apps work just fine from the external storage anyway so you can just leave them there instead of linking them - really it is up to you.
The other way to use link2SD to free up internal memory is the system apps - you can uninstall a fair few of these to free up system memory which you can then use by converting non-system apps to system ones - this moves them from the "internal memory" to the "system memory" and hey presto you have more internal available. NOTE: Uninstalling system apps can bugger up your phone - search and read about it before you do this!
If you have already tried all of this then I apologise and humbly ask you to post a list of your installed apps so that we may all wonder at just how you managed to use all that internal memory lol
Cheers

Folder mount should work for you if your rooted, does a fine job.
I'm rooted & download foldermount. However I can't seem to find the files to mount to my ext memory.
Games like Candy Crush or Puzzle Trooper, I can't find any files in android/data or android/obb (this folder is totally empty). What should I do?
I Have downloaded file manager to view my system files but I can't seem to mount the apk from data/app in the / memory.
Need help.
Thanks!
Hi, download foldermount and open files from the app by pressing the plus sign to add files and enjoy

For games like Real Football or some other gameloft games that are usually huge in size like above 500mb for the apk, how does foldermount help me with the memory other than only move the data from internal memory android/data or android/obb?
If I use a file manager, I found the apk in /data/data on the phone memory instead & the com.data files etc on /data/app lib.
Anybody knows what I should do with such apps?
Thanks.
That's why you use FolderMount, basically all the huge data is moved to SD card and Android is being fooled to thinking that the data is still on the internal memory. After doing this it looks a little bit strange in Storage info in Settings, as for example my phone has: Total space: around 9GB, Used space: 13GB, Free space: 6GB. I instaled multiple heavy games and all their data is stored on the SD card, you just need to specify which data you want to move.
Edit: Sorry I didn't fully understand your post. You meant that the actuall apk file is of a huge size, I don't think that Folder Mount will help in this situation, as you can only mount folders from the /mnt/sdcard folder. But to be honest all of the games I have store data in either /mnt/sdcard/Android/data or obb folder, and I believe that most games on the Marketplace do the same.

Exactly, all gameloft and ea games are stored in obb or data so FolderMount does wonders. I bought the pro version and it gets the job done.

How do I run game that is of 4 GB in my mobile whose internal memory is 8GB.

Hii I have a problem. I have to run GTA SANANDREAS game on my SAMSUNG J5 2015 model. The problem is I have 8 GB internal of which only 4 GB is available for storage of the obb data. The obb file of that game is 4 GB. I have rooted my device and have 30GB of ext2 partition on my 64GB sdcard. I have even linked it using LINK2SD. For linking the obb data using LINK2SD it must first be in the internal. But I cannot do that. Is there any way in which I can link the game file and game data outside the obb folder? The directoryBind app is not working in my phone.

Yes I have rooted it. My link2sd plus is working fine with other apps. Hey I just now saw that when I linked my obb data file of a game to my ext2 partition, my original obb file is still in internal while a new obb file of same name has been created in my ext2 partition. I am very confused. If linking doesn't free up my internal memory then what does it does?
