Requirements: You're play is rooted and ext2 partition is available on youre sd card.
1. Install Link2sd v2.0.2 from market.
The updated version allows you to convert system application to user apps. Thus, pre-install games can now be move to be user apps.
2. convert pre-install apps to be user apps, and create link to the application.
you will notice somehow an increase in the available internal memory.
I hope, I help somehow..
I apologize if others can't follow my information above. I included here the more detailed instructions for using link2sd, please see link :-D

Root Explorer can do the same thing too. I used it to get rid of the God awful games preinstalled on my phone

How would I know if the ext2 partition is available on my SD card?

Use root explorer and there should be a folder sd-ext check in there

I never worry about space on mine. If you are rooted, you can use DroidSail Super App2SD. Its free and it works perfectly. I have transferred every single game to SD and they all work perfectly (every game that came on the phone, every game I have ever downloaded). I am consistently at about 250MB free.

Thanks for telling me about that, there is no hassle with partitioning sd card now
Cool, i´ll try it. More internal memory!
I like it because if something did not work (I have not encountered a game or app that has not when moved) the option exists to move it BACK. It is very similar to an app I used to use on the Tapwave Zodiac back in the Palm days. One of the main reasons to have root on the Play is this app!

then link to SD
to those who want to partition their sd card to ext2 partition, simply download mini tool partition on youre pc, create partition (not more 1gb), it should be primary type and ext2.
i hope it helps
You can actually go up to ext4 without problem on this phone. Oh, and if you don't want to download a program to partition your sd card, and are confident in your adb abilities, look here.
OK...I think I just bricked my XPlay? When I tried to convert the Android Framework (I think that's what it's called) from system app to user app, my phone suddenly restarted, and is constantly restarting without getting into the UI at all... any idea what has happened here and how it can be fixed?

The Android framework is like system32 for windows. Basically, don't mess with it. You're not bricked. Use FlashTool to reflash the .ftf file for your phone version.

Thanks for letting me know. Will I loose all my info such as SMS, contacts, etc.? And where can I find info on how to reflash and get the correct .ftf for the phone?
Here is the FlashTool thread, and pretty much just search the Development subforum to find the thread that specifically deals with your phone model, whether it's x, i, at, or whatever else there is.
Flashing that .ftf will put you back to stock, so hope that you had your contacts backed up with your Google account. And SMS will be gone, as well as everything else that was personal.
Thanks a lot...it's unfortunate if I can't get my info back...
nvm
Sounds like you're not allowed to move that one.

Thanks for the info...I got my phone working again... the firmware I flashed is much better than the previous that was installed. Everything runs faster, and PSX games run smoother and faster...
I saved many apps, mostly gameloft games to my SD card, now what will happen if i unroot my device? Because my tablet would not have enough memory if it goes back to the internal memory drive.
Probably bad things.... If you've filled the "Internal" memory using a 32/64 gb sd card swap mod then the 16 gb will probably(not sure) put all the system files first BUT this is not something I'm 100% sure about. You will most definately loose stuff and worst case the tab won't boot but you should be able to recover this by flashing a stock rom and formatting the internal card 1st by going to recovery and wiping data/ache.
Personally, I'd do a nandroid backup, take out the sd card and put it somewhere safe for if I want to use again, then wipe/factory reset and flash a new stock rom using ODIN.

Or maybe nothing at all will happen... Id think root is only needed to do the original swap ..

Your system files aren't on the SD card just the apps data. So if u lose the swap u won't have the gameloft game data any longer... the device will still boot. Not sure if losing root will take away the sdswap or not....I would think so however....

Which method did you use to move just your gameloft titles? I looked in the development section and all I see is the script to swap internal storage with the SD card...

More info is need from the OP for advise.....
Buji.... there is an app called "(Root) Foldermount" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount in the play store that works great and you can move all of those large OBB and DATA files to your extSDcard. I think the free version lets you mount 4 or so folders and the $1.99 Premium upgrade has unlimited.
I have 10.1 GB of internal storage left with lots of apps and the following space hogging games installed on my Note........
Asphalt 6: Adrenaline
Asphalt 7: Heat
Need for Speed™ Most Wanted
Zombiewood – Zombies in L.A!

Okay so there is this Despicable Me: Minion rush game for android.
When I install it from playstore, it installs normally.
The problem is that like all other games, i wanted to hack money in this game too!
But when I download the game apk + sd data [ as we do with other games] and install the game, when I run the game, it says that "there is not enough memory in the sd card. free up 71mb space."
But I have about 14Gb free space in the sd card and about 400mb internal memory. What is the problem. Is it that the game version that is on the internet is not compatible with the huawei U8800?.What should I do?
Can I do this:
Install the game from playstore and then just replace the downloaded sd data with the modded sd data?
That only works if the apk an the sd data are from the same version

Hi all, so to start with, as the title says im constantly running out of space on the FN model 2015, so ive dived into the forum looking for help. First thing i tried was the sd card hack to combine my 64gb sdcard with the 8gb internal. Harra! it worked, but then i still run outa space as it dosen't seam to to use the sdcard space as i had hoped. It's like it just copys some of the data from the apps to the SD card like normal but without having to go into the each app and selecting external sdcard. Kinda thought no probs I'll download a custom rom with no samsung apps and with a min gapp giving me as much storage space i could get. I can't see one, starting to think there isnt one. So my question is, is it hard for me to take my backup of my stock rom and strip what I can out bearing in mind I'm a bit of a noob and have to follow instructions from the clever ROM makers? not to bothered about increasing the speed and looks just the space. Would be able nice to update them without having to delete a few and re-install the ones I deleted. Any advice on what coarse to take would be great. Maybe theres a ROM I've mist I could use and give thanks for?
Cheers

Hi,
Instead of using Adoptable Storage, make 2 partitions on your SD, 1 FAT32 for photos,music,documents and another EXT4 for apps data. Use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd , i tested it.
You can make 2 partitions using PC or with TWRP Recovery.

Thanks for your reply! I went down the apps2SD route in the end. Kinda mest it up a bit but have free'd up nearly 1gb of space so thanks, that's more than enough! %) I ended up partitioning the SDcard and linking all the apps I'm not interested in, excel,Skype,Samsung etc. Anyway what i didn't realise was that i had mest the other part of the partition up. Ended up re-formatting the SDcard in recovery back to normal and those apps I didn't want 90% of the data of those have now been wiped %)
As my question states, I'm looking to free up some space on my son's SM-T280. It's only 8GB internal, and even with moving most apps over to SD, he's starting to get 'memory full' messages.
If the SM-T280 had Marshmallow, I understand it would be rather easy, but we're still stuck in 5.1.1 land.
I figured I'd go the route of installing jedld's Tinker V5 ROM and playing with Xposed modules.
If anybody has any other suggestions or helpful advice, I'd be forever grateful!
EDIT: I'm already rooted with TWRP Recovery installed via ODIN. What about Magisk? I'm not really familiar with it, only played with Xposed a little bit on my Note4...
if you have root, what about just using APP2SD. it does not merge but does move the full apps over with a link
Link2SD also works on Lollipop (not Marshmallow)
That's pretty much what I'm doing now, but some/most apps won't install or even let you move them over to the SD card, so APPS2SD is pretty limited. I appreciate the reply, tho.
Most if not all apps i have downloaded from the play store were able to be moved to the sd card with link2sd.

make sure you have the right mounting script and setting. I had simlar issue but eventually got the mounting to work and then everything was fine (some supersu setting changes were required)
Use "apk editor pro" app! It makes non-movable apps movable!! Its extremely easy to use!!!
I just use an app called Apps2SD (pro works best) and partition my SD card to have two PRIMARY partitions, make em exFAT for first and ext4 for the second. I used a tool on Windows called MiniTool Partition Wizard which is free to do so. And that took care of that for me. Good luck
