Thats the problem with most apps, if you move the data to the external sdcard the game/app doesn`t work anymore. So unfortunately not possible bro
You cannot move that app to sd, coz game dev has not permitted.
Unless your phone is rooted.

i guess they cant be moved.
the only was is to reinstall them in ure memory card. And as far as games are concerned u can backup the game folder (current one) before reinstalling and after installing the game in ure storage card, u can replace the new files with old (backup) ones.
Ure saved game will resume from where u last saved.
I just bought my Xperia play, and tried to move some .apk games and apps to the sd card. On PC it shows they were transferred, but on my phone, no sign of the .apk files.
I'm new to the Android system, so maybe I've done something wrong.
How am I supposed to transfer/install those files?
PS: Music and videos successully transferred.
Edit: Solved, used Easy Installer.
Me, I used Appinstaller..
On a side note, I thought you were asking for installing app to sdcard coz we have a poor internal memory.. oh well to answer this, first i used app2sd, but not as helpful as I expect, there are still apps/games that you couldn't be transfer on sd card, so I use link2sd, perfect app for me, now all apps/games can be transfer to sdcard.. But it requires your phone to be rooted and you should have partition on your sdcard.
If you view apk files from astro file manager, it'll let you install them from there. Make sure you have the phone set to allow installation of apps from unknown sources.

Browse to the apk file using any file explorer and open it from there.
could and would someone point me in the right direction on how to move apps, how to have things saved i.e. downloaded movies to the external sd card at the point of download,,, it says i can move apps to sd card.. but not the ext... any help would be great. thx
I convert my movies onto my iMac and drag them to my 64gb external
I haven't read up on it as I have a 32gb phone and have plenty of extra memory for my needs. I think only the app can be moved, not data. And not sure how it is done yet until we get the latest OTA. Thought I saw some rom that advertised it--not sure.
Try a search or Google
Well I was able to get the app I wanted to the ext card and was able to change the directory in the app so now the app is on my ext sd card and it saves right to the ext card...I used es file explorer...I tried it a few times then it finally just showed up on my ext card and not on internal....yeah me lol

Anything you have downloaded (files) you can move to the sd card using the built in file manager. Open file manager, internal storage, downloads folder - select the files to move, then tap the menu icon (top right) and pick move or copy, then browse to the destination.
If you are referring to movie downloads from google play or something like that, you may be restricted. I am not sure as i don't download from the play store.

Yeah I was trying to get movies to download right to ext..ie from browser and what not havent figured that one out yet but I was also referring to an app being moved to ext card and saving data directly to ext card which I did figure out so if you have any input on the browser downloading
You say browser - I use chrome and all downloads go into the download folder in internal storage and you can move to sd card. I am not sure what stock browser does.
Yeah I read the recent update allowed you to install apps to your ext SD but I haven't seen the option to either install there and/or move them. Hmmmm

Foldermount is a free app in the play store. Works perfectly. It has you search your Android/data or Android/obb folders and any apps you install from the play store, you can move and mount those directories to your external SD card and it actually works. I have a ton of gameloft games, and everything i mount with this app moves to my 64GB external SD and works perfectly!
Hello,
I was searching for a way to put large games like (asphalt 8, nova3, and any other games) on sd card on my rooted samsung galaxy s4 because the internal storage is very low and about to be full.
First i tried to use the file manager i have sent the odd file and the apk(which in the data folder) but the game didn't work, it was searching for required files and asked to download them.
Then i tried many apps which need root acces on my device to send the games on sd card but i got the same problem...
Is there are any way to send the game on sd card and make it work there?
Thanks.
try app2sd...it is on play store ?
I have already tried it but it send the apk file only i want app or any way to send the apk and the odd to the sd card and make it work there.
This depends on what rom you're using.
You could try Folder Mount
Actually all these apps aren't useful i can already use any file manager to send the game files to the sd card but the problem is when i add the game to sd card when i open the game it dont find the game's files.
And about which rom am i using i didn't get it and how to know my rom?
I use the xposed module Obb2SD, so all my games are moved to SD card then the Obb files are also moved onto the SD card.
I am using a custom Rom.

If you are using the stock samsung rom then you just have to go to Manage apps and find the game you want to move and the press "Move to sd card".
Moving the apps manually will not work.
Folder Mount will move the app data to the sd card and trick the system into thinking it's on the internal storage.
I have just used folder mount by sending the game files (the folder in the data and its folder in the odd) but the game won't find their files
Did you get the phone new? Did you flash any custom rom on it or is it the stock samsung firmware that comes with the phone?
The only thing i have done with my phoned is rooting it with a custom recovery, there is no any custom roms im just using just the stock rom.
Then the rom should have the option to move apps to sd.
I know that my stock 4.4.2 samsung firmware had that option.
Go to settings > apps > downloaded, and tap any app you want to move. There should be an option "move to sd card" or something like that.
did anyone install link2sd on the 7e
or can we get real tweak to move big game apps and data that we choose to sdcard, like something we used to have link2sd in previous phones
when i press in setting to move for example AC Identity which is a 2 giga game, it does not move it all to sd card, it barely moves few mb only
i know there is a tweak where u make your whole sd card seen as an internal memory but that is not what i want as the whole phone starts to act up and gets slow
I want to be in control of which apps and data to move totally to sdcard for individual apps
I know there's an Xposed module called "OBB on SD" that works perfectly on the S7/edge, but I didn't try link2sd though
