Hi. I have Galaxy S4 I9505 on stock 4.3, not root-ed.
As you all know on 16Gb version, only 9Gb is free.
I like to play big games on my phone but I dont have enough free space.
I would like to know is there any app similar to "Auto_Patch_APK_for_Samsung_by_Duero__include_Java_" (I cant put link sry.) which works on S4?
Thanks!
Not possible without root I'm afraid. If you do decide to root, there is an app called FolderMount which allows you to move game data to the External SD Card.

What dou think about ˇKingo root metodˇ?
Will my bootloader be unlocked?
Will this metod activate KNOX?
If I unroot my phone, will they be able to see that phone was root-ed?
I have never before root Samsung mobile with KNOX so i dont know what to expect?

You could try Link2sd. Needed a two-partitioned sd card and root.

You don't need root , just move the obb or data files manually

When you done with the game move the data or obb to external sd card , when you want to play the same game again move it back to its original location
I use fx explorer
You may have second option ,go to settings , more , applications manager .... and check the move to sd , but incase of games you may lose some performance due to sd slow write/read

Not too functional... The main idea is to free internal memory so that it get used by other apps or data. If you have, for example, a game with 1GB, you need to have free at last 1GB internal memory when you are bored and want to play so that you can move back the data... At this point, it wouldn't have no sense to have that 1GB free... You usually should delete occupied memory by apps or other data to play that game... With apps like link2sd allow you to maintain that data at external sd when playing and "tell" the app where in the external sd can find the data.

I have just migrated from GS2 to the GS4,
Why cant i move Apps to extSD card to enable me to free-up more of the internal SD memory like i could with the S2??
The option was removed in ics/jb (not sure which version exactly) because Google think that microSD card aren't reliable enough.

I know something called redpill was available for the galaxy note, which changed the external SD card with the internal SD memory and somehow enabled users to move apps across to the external SD Card thought something might be available for the S4 by now??

you can use folder mount from play store. But need to be rooted first. This app works even with GS4.

Hi there,
How do I move games to sd card? Tried to Need for speed which is over 1GB inn size. But when I pressed move to sd card, only few mb were moved. Can someone explain to me, how to do it properly.
Edit: it is not only Need for speed who do not want to move, but other games too.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
That's because it only moves the app itself to the external sd card, not the data of the game.
For moving those files I'd recommend using foldermount. It does require root tho.
If you are already rooted however, you can find it at the playstore.

Most of the times it's either located at /storage/sdcard0/android/obb or at /storage/sdcard0/android/data.
You can use any file Explorer to look where the files are located.

Hey
So I installed the newest official Samsung firmware which was suppose to allow moving my apps to my sd card. When I go to my apps I can see tge button that says "move to sd card". When I press it the app goes from the phones internal memory to the so called internal sd card which is the same in all s4's instead of the "extSdCard" what is the actual sd card I have.
Why those apps doesn't really go to the sd card and why would Samsung hype this newest update with that feature when it doesn't even work.

some apps do not support app 2 sd i.e : whatsapp antutu etc... its how it works.... im sure things will get better with newer android updates
Its moves the app only, not the data files.
If you still want to move the files, use foldermount.
Directory bind doesnt work anymore. Only foldermount has a patch to work around it.

No, it doesn't even move the apps. I just said that in the first post. They just go to the internal "sd card" intead of the "extSdCard". I tried with every one of my apps so it's not about some apps not supporting app2sd.

It's not about not supporting if it didn't support it the move to sd card button wouldn't have been highlighted so you are correct
I noticed the to get around I use folder mount to link large folders +(1gb)
I also have a second partition on my sd which I used in my last device for linking its only 1gb though but u can try that to if you like

I just got my samsung galaxy s4 (GT-I9500) but it seems that it is impossible to move apps on SD card.
Android Version: 4.2.2
Baseband Version: I9500XXUAMDK
Build Number: JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDK
I also read some forums and learned that samsung already addressed this issue by making the upgrade or updates but unfortunately my phone is up-to-date already.
Can somebody please tell me when does the said update will come out here in Philippines? I believe there's a lot of S4 users who also has this trouble as our phones int. memory gets lower and lower. :crying:
thanks
The update will not save you much of any space, so I'm a bit surprised that people are still so fixated on it.

WTF ?! And what then is the point of this feature?
Hi,
i have recently bought a new S4 and updated it to the latest version where we can move app to sd card. But when i move the apps it still shows the same memory available on my internal memory i.e. it doesn't move the apps to SD card and keeps it in the internal memory of the device whereas in App manager it shows that it is installed in the SD card.
Kindly help me with any solution.
Please have a look at the screenshots attached so will also get a clear idea about it.
Can anybody give some solution...

hello, i think you cant do that with all apps but, some aplications can be moved. only have to look in settings / more / app manager. click on an app and check if can be moved.

Without additional tools you can move the application on sd, but not application data. In some programs, especially games, app data are realy huge.
As you instructed, you can use folder mount to move app data.
But, you must have root.

Hi,
I will be receiving a galaxy S4 soon.
I need to know what would be the best option.
I am going to root & then either:
remove all bloatware using a no bloat or root uninstall app.
or
install a custom rom Doc Barebone possibly??
I would like to get as much space back as possible as I have heard that you only get around 9gb on a 16gb model.
Ideally I would like to keep (or reinstall with full functionality) the stock camera app.
I am not fussed about all of the touchwiz wizardry.
I also need to be able to install apps 2 sd card
& have live wallpapers & a music & video player
How much space is usable after a doc barebones rom install?
Apologies for all questions, coming back to android after a few years on iphone.
None of roms than I see opens more Space, you can move some apps to sd card.

I read that the Google play rom gives 12gb usable space as there is no bloatware & was considering it also. I thought the doc barebones may give slightly more.
Do all of the custom roms have app2sd functionality?
Can you install live wallpapers on the doc barebones rom?

Thanks for this , it looks like I will install doc barebones as it keeps the stock camera & if I can store apps on sd as well that will be great.
One more question, if installing a rom with no bloatware doesn't give more space, would it not be easier to just root & remove bloat ware from stock.
I'm a bit disappointed I thought I could have got some of the storage back. I read on another thread that Samsung have partitioned it so that 8-9gb is free regardless.
Read elsewhere that the google version of s4 has 12gb free.
Is there no way to completely wipe the phone & installation rom that gives you the same 12gb as the google edition..?
The apps to sd "feature" does not save you any appreciable space. You are far better off using a third party app to move the data to external sd and symlink back to the internal memory.

Reasons why people use Modified Stock ROMS is simply because the developers do a lot of editing as well as build.prop tweaks to insure Performance and Overall Stability.
Regardless of what TW Rom you use, you will have about 8.+ ----9Gb free space...
Don't Say Thanks. Hit IT LOL..
Hi.,
I have the i9505 version. I have rooted using Odin & now have su rights
I noticed that the docsbarebones rom is for the other galaxy.
Are there any roms that keep the stock camera & have apps 2 sd
Apologies noob
*** edit I have tried a few roms , but what I did was unrooted & loaded the german version of stock rom that has apps2sd then used auto root so I can remove bloat.
When I send an app 2 sd it sometimes says your device cannot move 2 sd card.
It still lets me do it though.
*** further edit. It isnt actually working.
Get error "/The_Device_does_not_have_a_real_primary_external_storage_or_the_primary_external_storage_is_emulated__Moving_app_to_SD_Function_my_not_be_supported"
What can I do to get apps2sd?
Does anyone know how to get app2sd on galaxy s4? It says its installing to sd card but its just writing it to internal.
I checked by installing a massive game, said it was all on sd, but when I uninstalled it gave me the space back internally.

Hi, none of the files ever get copied to the external sd card though. They end up in some sort of sd/emulated/0 folder.
They arent on the external sd card. Everything seems to get stored internally.

That's the way it is supposed to be. The apps to SD feature is such a waste of time, I wonder why anyone even bothers. Only a single small installation file is moved to your external. Everything else is left internally. That is by design. If you want actual app to SD functionality, you're going to have to use a third party app such as Folder Mount to get it.

I think link2sd can do it. I have had no luck though. I cant get it to recognise the second partition.
2 of my main reasons for getting this phone was ability to store apps on external sd & a good camera . They are both frustrating me now as I cant get any method to work for my sd storage & seemingly galaxy s4 has hardware limitation on camera functions my iPhone 4s could do.
