Downloaded a couple of large size games to my s4 batman modern combat etc I have moved them all to my SD card when clicking on move to SD card in application manager. However the storage in file manager still shows that the bulk of the games are stored on the devices memory
The android folder in file manager shows where all my space is being used is there no way around this as the play store won't let me download any more games
Thanks in advance for your replies

Is there any way to have all the apps installed to sd card instead of phone memory.

You can go into settings and change ones manually under "applications" and then "manage applications", but it's easier to load an app like "app2sd" and it let's you see what can be moved and makes it "click" simple. There are many core apps that can't be put on the sd card though and you can quickly run out of room on the 4G. I ran out of room with only half the apps I had on my old Vibrant and I had already moved everything possible to the sd card. Problem is you can't put many key apps on the sd card like messaging apps, widgets, launchers and a host of other normal ones.
Thank you.

If i have apps on SD card by apps2SD on the SGS4, can I switch to a new SD by just copying and pasting them over, or do I have to move it all back to the "device storage"?
Thanks
Drag and drop, copy paste, cut an paste... You know... The normal ways of getting things from one storage medium to another.
Yes you can. Transfer all your stuff right over.

im using the built in function on my phone to do it via applications manager.
Doesn't that put it in an .android_secure folder that can't be seen when plugging in via USB to computer to copy and paste from?
Hello xda forums, I want to ask you about moving apps2sd card. By a little research I have found out that moving apps to sd card is a thing. Now I want to do it but I wont seem to be able to get the option "move app to external drive/usb device" or whatever option. I just want to know how to enable it.. A way of not requiring any computers just doing all by my phone would be great..
Also, if you are going to say "oh, why are you moving your apps to sd card" or anything similar like that, please just dont.. say that to google, not me, I don't care, I have lots of big apps and my storage is full...
Thanks...

1) Open Play Store.
2) Search for Folder Mount.
3) Install app.
4) Upgrade to pro.
5) Use it to move large app data to your external SD and create a symlink in the original location.
I realize that you're actually asking about the native apps to sd ”feature,” but I don't think you quite understand what it actually is and is not. It does move apps to your SD, and that is it- only the .apk is moved. The data, which is why those apps and games are so big, remains on your internal. As such, it does not save you any appreciable space. To do that, you're going to have to use a third party app.

Folder mount didn't really help. What I got to do is to move the whole app, the apk of the app, that can be done using system right? I feel like I should be able to enable it somehow.. Any ideas?
(What I need to do is to move the apk that can be reached via Root Browser, theee are many apks with the size between 30-100 mbs, eventually taking up too much space)

Has anyone else had issues using Foldermount?
I've got a rooted Mojo and I'm trying to save space by moving data to an attached USB flash drive.
The game I tried is Virtua Tennis. I can move the obb data to the external drive (approx 380mb), the files pair and I get the green drawing pin, so I think I'm good to go.However when I try to start the game I get a message saying I need to download 400mb.I dont know what I'm doing wrong.
Does anyone know of a better app than Foldermount, or are there games or apps that cannot be moved?
Loving the Mojo apart from this pain in the arse.
After moving the data and the pin goes green reboot mojo. Them play the game. Easier way to reboot since your rooted is download quick reboot from the play store

Great app, and I second the notion: Reboot the MOJO and your app should work. I have very little on my MOJO anymore...everything is pinned through FolderMount.

This is strange,
I move the files, click the pin to go green then reboot.
After reboot, if I try the game immediately it runs , however after a few moments delay I get a message on the screen that folder mount has kicked in and mounted the pairs with no fail, and from that point it won't work.
When I try to select the game I get the error message that data needs to be downloaded.
I tried it with GTA 3, which involves moving approximately 1.2gb of data to the external drive. When I try to play the game it automatically starts to download all the data from the net again.
I Just don't get it.
I'm using the free version of folder mount, is this wrong?
I've every intention of purchasing the premium version providing it works, but at the moment I can't work out where I'm going wrong.
Thanks for the heads up on the reboot app by the way, very handy
As for moving games to the external drive, and creating the perfect scenario of mega app storage, I'm at a bit of a loss

The path to the drive is /mnt/usbdrive.
I don't believe it will show up however unless it's fat32. ( I may be wrong )
Don't launch the game until you see that folder mount message. Then launch it.

Yea I noticed that. I turned on my MOJO and forgot to wait for the stupid foldermount message to show up, and then all my data was gone.
Hi - a big part of my Galaxy S5's phone space is exhausted. I've gone through my folders and there isn't any big ones. I have moved most applications to the SD card.
Is there a program I can use in Win 7 and can display the tree/holder size on my phone ( I have allready trued a few piece but they can't show my mobil device ) and show how much is in each folder in Mb and as can display hidden folders?
I suspect that hidden folders are using all my space on the phone.
and I have change the settings to sho "hidded folders"

I has some great hidden folder with thumbnails. bla. one called/storage/emulated/legacy/.thumbnails/G900FXXU1ANCE_4.4.2 which contains 1.082 files
And a big Evernote folder - I can't find out to move to SD
Just get to settings...storage...cached files and click on them. I had 1.5 GO of data there.
Remove them all.
