[Q] Help Cann't move Gmae & Program to External Sdcard - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I used Samsung Galaxy S4 : ROM OMEGA 4.0 & SD CARD Class 10 Memory Size 16GB Format Partition Type FAT32
I want to move Application & Game to SD Card; However i used Directory Bind & Link2SD (create partition exf2 for link file already)
but it's not work. How to fix it. Thank you

Try FolderMount. It's easier to use and has more features.

just wait for the new FW update, that will fix the issue....
it is already in the 'wild', so the updated ROMs will start popping out soon.

latest version currently running on my phone is 2.4.4 and 2.5 is available in Developer's forum.
should be work.
sorry for my dumb question..but how does it work? i installed 2.5 on my rooted milestone with 1gb ext2 partition on sd card.
then i chose "install app2card/transfer apps"..it said that all apps were copied to ext2 and i can see it from the drive infos.
but now? i have the apps both in internal and external memory? i wanted to free some space in internal memory..how can i do it? i tried to translate the vietnamese page but it wasn't so clear (at least for me). any help would be very appreciated,thanks.

after transferring the apps, have you reboot the phone? if you've rebooted, open App2Card to see whether it is successful or not.
if there's no error message pop-up and the AppStatus: is showing "Locaton: SD CARD" then you're good to go.
to clear-up your internal memory, power-off the phone, remove SD card and boot.
(don't worry, it will boot) with something like the phone is reset. there, uninstall the apps that appearing in the list. (except App2Card) it will clear more space. (don't worry about the apps, it's already copy to your SD card).
once you've finished, insert the SD card and reboot.
then, click Menu>Wipe>Dalvik-Cache>Internal Memory
it will release some more space in your internal RAM.
hi thank you

You know that when ever a program refers to sd-card it means /SDCARD.
And this is the internal sdcard of the galaxy. The external sd-card is mounted at /sdcard/sd.
So friend how come i solve this problem..when i want to continue the installation it always says require at least 35mb memory card free but my memory card 4gig free..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
This might be a form of copy protection where it doesn't want to allow apps to be installed off of an SD card. It sounds like you downloaded to an external card, am I right? Make sure you aren't confusing your internal and external SD (memory) cards, only use the internal memory card for downloads and installations.
actually it sounds like the [OP] already maxed out his INTERNAL SD, that's why the game is not installing.
Because Asphalt 5 installed fine for me just fine.
the games will not install to an EXTERNAL SD [OP] 4GB SD card because that feature only comes after fRoyo 2.2

You are referring to you externeal sd card!!
You can't use this card for installing apps. Only the internal sd card.
The internal sd card = sd card for any android app.

Are you sure you can can install apps to /sdcard/sd and not only to /sdcard?
so AllGamer u said that Asphalt 5 installed fine for u...can u tell me the step by step how 2 install the game on galaxy s..can i know ur installer is a copy or u buy original one from gameloft..mine is a copy from someone post...i've already several time try to install but got same problem..i confuse y after i allready install then when i open by click the icon it say must download some data else but it said require some space in memory card but my memory card 4gig free..several time i click retry but can't work...so can u help me regarding this prob please...
You can only install games on to your internal SD. If it fails to install due to not having enough memory you will have to delete some things for it to install. If you have a 4GB external SD you still cannot install apps to it as this is a feature of Froyo 2.2 only. If your not up for deleting anything you'll have to flash a froyo rom or wait until Samsung release the full official version.
easy, just click install
done
no special steps, it just installs automatically to the INTERNAL SD

No one has even asked him properly yet. Syuk89 is your internal memory on your phone full? You should have 8gb or 16gb on your internal memory.

So you have a stolen game ...
But you don't need to steal Asphalt 5 as it is available for free in the Samsung market.
Just select it there to install and everything works.
And of course you need some free space on your INTERNAL sdcard. Not the external 4GB you put in!!!
My hp have 16gig internal memory and 4gig external..i've do all u said but still can't work..i bought this hp from my friend and he said this hp allready upgrade to 2.2 beta and rooted... So if this the problem..n can i know how to make a screenshot like iphone so i can attach the pic

then you are probably in the wrong forum
This forum is for Samsung Galaxy S, not for HP
but even on a HP device you should be able to install the game as long as you are running Android 2.1
many Apps & Games are not yet compatible with Android 2.2
No hp stands handphone..my hp is samsung galaxy s19000.. So how..is i must format my internal sd..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Are you running one of the leaked FroYo firmwares for Samsung Galaxy S? <-- Aha! Yes you are! I should have read your latest posts more carefully.
Nova (a Gameloft game) would not install under this firmware for me because the SD card handling in the leaked firmware was broken. The game requests phone-specific data for external storage (in-game media, I presume) during install, but fails when it cannot find the external SD card.
For the same reason, I could not mount the SD cards properly, a number of apps were unable to access data on the external card, and even custom recovery images failed to see the card so I was unable backup or restore anything via Nandroid.
The only fix for me was to re-install a stable 2.1 firmware.
EDIT: Just to clarify, Gameloft games require external SD storage and will ignore the internal storage completely, failing upon install if no external storage can be found. In the leaked 2.2 firmware (all versions that I found), external SD handling was broken, and the mounting points had been changed (so the external card could not be found where expected, at /sdcard/sd).
Formatting internal or external storage WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE!! It is a problem with the 2.2 firmware leaks that cannot be 'worked around'. I even tried sym-linking /sdcard/sd to the external card and got nowhere... but then, I'm not entirely sure I was doing it right anyway. :S
I think its leak because its only beta..many apps force close..the hp also running a bit slow..i bought this samsung from my friend and its allready upgrade to 2.2 beta..so how can i back to normal firmware..or is that i must reset the hp..how??

Best way to save free space? Symlink to external sdcard?

Hi guys,
What would be the best way to conserve the free space on my Razr M (XT907, 4gb ) while using your Safestrap software? Without having to restore over the Stock rom slot?
I currently have a 32gb external SD card installed in my phone that I am hardly making use of, which is silly. I seemed to have quickly maxed out my phone’s internal SD card 0 shortly after installing a Eclipse mod and snapping a few pictures/videos and installing GTA3 (large game). As simple as this task sounds, I have been unable to find clear instructions online on how to free up my space.
Maybe would there be any way to symlink the entire /safestrap directory to my external SD card? How about changing the default location that my apps are saved or installed to? I am comfortable connecting via ADB and making changes in Linux if necessary.
Thank you!
jskup
EDIT - ok, Eclipse Mod 1.1 doesn't have the best camera app, no configuration to save pictures to external SD

I use a free app that you can find in the Google Play Store called Link2SD. But first you will need to create a partition on your SD card. d33ps1x one of XDA's Senior Members was awsome enough to place a tutorial on the forum already. Here is the the link.

To do the actual partition on my PC I used a program called Mini Tool Partition Wizard v7.8. You can find it on line and get a free download. Just follow d33ps1x's instructions and u should be fine.
I was able to make a 4.5gb partition on my 64gb SD card that Link2SD automatically "links" downloaded apps to the partition and frees up the space on the internal memory.
Good luck. Hope this helps.

Tutorial Link2SD/make more Space in Internal Memory with Link2SD for Moto G 3rd 2015

Prerequisites:
1. obviously moto g 2015 3rd gen
2. bootloader unlocked followed by root (search for this in other threads)
3. make backup of your ext sd card as everything will be deleted (mine is 64 gb strontium memory card)
4.card reader (mine is Transcend USB 3.0 Super Speed Multi-Card Reader for SD/SDHC/SDXC/MS/CF Cards)
Steps:
1. switch off your device and take ext sd card out
2. download and install MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition 9.1 on your pc http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
3. Insert your SD card to a card reader and open it on your computer
4. Back up all your files to the computer because partitioning will wipe your data
5. Open Mini Tool in your computer. Locate your SD card (be careful in choosing and make sure not to choose the drive of your computer)
6. Right click and choose Delete
7. Right click on it again and choose Create New. Create “FAT32″ partition (This is where all your media files will go. Be sure to make it bigger than the 2nd part)
8. Select “Create as: PRIMARY”
9. Next, ext4 partition. This is where your apps will go. I suggest a value of 512Mb or 1Gb would be big enough but if you insist you can go as high as 2Gb.
10. Select “Create As: PRIMARY” (make sure that it is both set to primary because it will not work if it is not set to primary)
11. Click the “Apply” button on the top left corner and wait for it to finish the process. Done.
12. Put back your SD card to your phone and switch it on.
13. Download and install Link2sd from Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=en
14. Open Link2sd. You will be prompted to choose between ext2, ext3, ext4 and FAT32. Select ext4.
15. It will say mount script created. Reboot your phone now.
16. Open link2sd and if the message doesn’t show up, you succeded.
17. check storage info
18. Go to Link2sd>Settings>check the autolink (to automatically move apps upon installation)
i have link2sd plus version as it allows me to link obb etc
attached some pics for idea
lastly do not held me responsible for any problem as i tried my best to explain everything in detail
if any query feel free to ask and to encourage me for more work hit THANKS :highfive:
Will this allow apps not normally capable of being installed on external storage to be moved to external storage?

The above method makes partition of external sd card and treat that as internal memory so answer is yes.now u may ask why this linking ? Answer is simple because some apps have widgets

I did set 10gb fat32 and 4gb ext4 so I'm glad that's correct, hopefully this lag fix sorts me, opening apps are sluggish on the SD card to the point where having link2sd and save obb to sdcard is more strain then the worth lol

Thanks for the Tutorial @umo4u it's seems ideal however can you please confirm it's working ok with the latest version of Link2SD?
The review thread on Play seems to point to a recent update breaking mount scripts (I understand that various other reasons will cause) just looking for clarification.

Thanks for the guide, used it for my Moto G/4G.
I'm still a bit puzzled by some inner workings of Link2sd though, mainly the fact that the APK part keeps going back to the main memory even though I keep linking it to the external SD. Is anyone else seeing that?

i do not face any problem u mentioned earlier as i have done same exact guide on my moto g 2015 too step by step.try steps mentioned below
1.go to link2sd and open it,if no message pop up than u have created mount scripts right.if any message pop up than recreate mount scripts by taping bar on left side of app than recreate mount script than ext4 than reboot,hopefully u should not see any message after u open app
2.now go to three dots (on extreme right of app) and check storage info (u will be able to see all partitions including the one which u have created of external sd card and check whether it have free space or not)
3.go to settings and check auto link followed tap install location and check automatic
hope above steps solves your problem :fingers-crossed:
Yeah, that's all good. The slight problem is that for some reason the APK part sometimes goes back to the internal memory, at least according to the interface. Check your apps, maybe you'll see the same thing.

Link2sd Plus, yes, latest version, I'm going to check the "auto link" option maybe that will fix what I am seeing.

Need help with Link2SD Plus and MiniTool

Hi, can anyone explain to me this app and how to make it work? Didn't find any good up to date tutorial.
Here is some info:
-I have TWRP rooted stock rom (SM-G935F)
-SanDisk extreme pro 64gb microSD card
-Plus version of Link2SD
-Pro version of MiniTool Partition wizard
Just can't make it work...So here are my questions:
-Can I use whole SD card as internal storage link? Or do I need 2 partitions, one classic mass storage, second one for linking? I am not planning to remove card from phone.
-Do I have to make some storage label in MiniTool, or can I keep it blank? And what about partition letter? For example G: , or can I set None?
-Can I use linked storage partition from computer via cable as MTP?
-What partitions are viable for S7 edge? And is there speed difference? (ext2/ext3/ext4) ... I was trying Fat32+ext4 and then whole card as ext4, phone always tells me card is broken and need format and I am at beginning again.
-If I somehow manage to make this phone to recognise it, how to actually use Link2SD app?
There are some topics and videos out there, but I didn't find anything up to date or in english.
Keep in mind I am just ordinary user who somehow managed to root his phone only becouse of this app - to expand low internal storage, without any knowledge about android, linux and filesystems. I just need to move some huge games to SD completly with obb.
Thanks for any advice.
Im having the the same issue with using Link2SD on my SM-G935F... Ive tried partitioning the sd card in every possible combination and still get a 'corrupt storage'' issue from the ext extention partition when rebooting my handset. From what I can tell its the actual Samsung firmware thats been rewritten to read the external storage differently due to their lack of foresite of allowing adoptable storage (code written out of their versions of Marshmellow 6.0 +, same as Sony for the Xperia range)... Fingers crossed a work around is found sooner rather than later as Link2SD is a lifesaver for releasing data and obb files from internal storage
I don't really know but I think the ext SD card is used as storage and even with solid explorer and similar file managers you have to grant permission before deleting or even creating a folder else it'll fail so I think you have to configure adoptable storage in order to be recognize as part of SD card to be used with Link2SD and also I haven't seen an update for Link2SD for a very long time.

I also have the same problem. I tried ext2 and ext4 as the second partition. Allowing 4GB until 1.5GB partition because according to the old guides, it can only process up to 1.5GB of second partition. But still, it always says it's corruted, there was a time when It was successfully read by the app but after restart, the problem returns. There was even a time where the FAT32 partition was the one that is not recognized
Sooooooooooo....
is there any solution to this yet ? cannot find Anything STILL !

-What partitions are viable for S7 edge? And is there speed difference? (ext2/ext3/ext4) ... I was trying Fat32+ext4 and then whole card as ext4, phone always tells me card is broken and need format and I am at beginning again.
-If I somehow manage to make this phone to recognise it, how to actually use Link2SD app?
There are some topics and videos out there, but I didn't find anything up to date or in english.
Keep in mind I am just ordinary user who somehow managed to root his phone only becouse of this app - to expand low internal storage, without any knowledge about android, linux and filesystems. I just need to move some huge games to SD completly with obb.
Thanks for any advice.

Same here. Link2sd is not working (mount script error) anymore on S7 Edge (SM-G935FD). System crashed and did factory reset. Hope this issue could resolve soon.
I have the same problem, witch I think is specifically for this model (SM-G935F). Its seems that even rooted, it has some security on system folders, that prevents necessary mounts be done
I tried a mod where I can use the sd card to be seen as internal memory, but that mod pushes all apps to the sd card, and if affect performance of apps like facebook and other apps I use daily
in my previous phones I used to use linl2sd and I was in control which apps to link to sd card, and I would never choose facebook or whatapp , I used to link big games only
Is there a way to make link2sd work on s7e instead of the silly mod that pushes all apps to sdcard
