Apps and Data to External SD

Can I download Bard's Tale? Wild Blood? How do I move apps to my SD card? I have seen this question several times, and all those times no one could give a clear answer. So I decided to post a thread on this. In this thread I will explain how to use two great apps capable of moving your apps and app data to your external SD card. Link2SD by Bulent Akpinar and Directory Bind by slig. Even though there are many other solutions, these two work the best and are very simple to use. With these apps you will be able to play games that you would have never been able to download in the first place. You will also be able to save almost all of your internal storage for emergencies such as forgetting your SD card at home.
Link2SD
Requires: 2 partitions on your SD card Use MiniTool Partition Wizard to create a 2nd partition on your sd card. Preferably ext 3 or ext 4.
This solution will only free up your internal storage by moving apps NOT their data to SD card. It is useful as many apps don't have any data, small games such as Angry Birds and Battleheart don't actually have data separate of their directory. Unlike large games like Real Racing.
Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=en"]Link
Once you downloaded the app on your device the process is fairly easy.
1. Insert your SD card into the phone (properly partitioned as specified above)
2. Run the app and specify what partition you have created as your second partition
3. Once Link2SD checks and mounts your card reboot (this may take a while as the second partition will have to be mounted)
4. Now just go to the app and select several or one app that you would like to move to the SD card, press create link and that's it
Note: Every time the SD card is removed from your phone you must restart the phone
When upgrading your ROM all apps will be saved but LInk2SD will have to be launched to restore the apps
Keep LInk2SD on your internal storage not SD card; you don't want to be stuck with out all of your apps for this mistake

Directory Bind
This solution will not actually move apps to external SD but only move their data (ex: data that is downloaded in big games like Real Racing and Modern Combat) Directory Bind will allow you to either move the data you already downloaded on your phone (which wouldn't be much as the phone only has 1.4 GB) or just download the data on the external SD by it self. If you are planning on using this solution with Link2SD make sure to leave a decent amount of space on your 1st partition as this will use the 1st partition of your SD card.
Download and more Information on this developer thread
Organize your SD card:
1. Navigate to your external SD in Root Explorer
2. Create a folder called "Android"
3. In Android create "data"
4. This is where game data will be kept from now on
Using Directory Bind:
1. Open the app and press the settings key
2. Add a new entry
3. In "enter storage path" navigate to your newly created folder on the External SD
4. In "mount (target) path" select the data on your internal SD card (usually /sdcard/Android/data)
5. DON'T check transfer files
6. Click Add
7. Now again click the settings key and tap on Bind Checked
8. There you go now you can go into any big game and download the app data and it will be saved on your External SD
If you have already downloaded the game on your internal SD:
1. Create an identical empty folder (ex: com.rockstar.gta3ger) of the game you want to transfer in the data directory of External SD
2. Follow steps 1-4 but now navigate to the folder of the game you want to transfer
3.Check transfer files and click Add
4. Bind the files and now your game is on External SD
After a Reboot (Auto Binding doesn't seem to work for all apps):
1. Add a new entry
2. Select the games identical folder in both storage and mount paths
3. DON'T transfer data
4. Click Add
5. Bind checked
Note: Games will run slower of your SD card
Every time you reboot your phone the process of binding will have to be repeated otherwise the game will ask to download data
I suggest unbinding directories when not in use as this will help save battery
Big thanks to the developers of both apps!

Thanks for taking the initiative and putting something up like this
The only thing I'd object to is posting the binary directly in this forum. Can you change that to a link to the right place to download?

I am at work right now and will change a soon as I get home

I too used to have Link2SD but it has some prerequisites like formatting and partioning SD card which i wont do.

Luvk1412 is very proud to show you all the way to increase the internal memory of your.tablet. The way works on all the Funbooks(Alpha,P300,Infinity,Pro,Talk)(tested) but dont know wether it works on other tablets such as Galaxy tab, karbonn smart tab etc. but it should work there also(not tested)
Preparation:
1. YOUR TABLET NEEDS TO BE ROOTED.
2. For rooting funbook infinity you can follow this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959026
3. Install root explorer in your tablet. It is a paid app on playstore, so i cannot give its apk file as it may lead to spam but u can download it from google or 4shared.com from where i download for free. You can also use ES file Manager(its free on play store but i recomend root explorer)
4. Now you are all set for increasing Ur internal memoery.
METHOD:
1. Download the attachment and extract it and transfer the file "Vold.fstab"to ur sd card.

1: Not shocking.
2. Method is very very dangerous since you still cant get any working firmware.
3. Many SD Card Swap scripts work the same way.
4. Since you are playing with vold.fstab, keep it in mind that you may end up with currupted SD card.
5. AND MOST IMPORTANT: YOU SHOULD NEVER PUT SYSTEM FILES FROM ONE TAB TO ANOTHER.
6. Never edit these files in windows notepad. Use Notepad++

Thanks for that.
Script works easily after restart. Kudos.

I swaped the file as per the given procedure now when I booted up I am getting message "Damaged SD card" asking me if I want to format the SDcard
My external sd is now detected as internal showing me total 32gb space but a strange this happen with me is that many apps I had moved to sd card using Apps2sd they are not showing as installed, so I have to swap back the file bring all apps to internal sd then do this operation once again.

That message will come....u hve to compromisewith that...as u are gaining a 32 gb of internal storage....by the way I want to make sure are u using infinity only or anothrr tab or device
For games and apps
Before swapping copy ur android folder to the external sd card...and then swap...this wud save ur most of apps and games but some u hve to reinstall ...
Advice...use titanium bakup and bakup all ur apps ..copy the bakup folder to ur pc...then uninstall all of apps...swap and then restore using titanium bkup

I cant compromise for a reason that every time it boots up that warning pops up this tablet is going to be mostly used by kids & if they click on that warning "format card" all data will be wiped in few seconds. If there can be a way to stop that warning pop up that would be great & will be a safe option.
I am indeed using funbook p275 infinity tablet. I will try once again with swap & test the benefits of the swap versus danger of formatting 32gb card by kids.
My understanding is that we only gain 32gb in exchange of internal (2nd partition) of SD card not the 1st partition on which the OS is running which means there are still many apps with big sizes we cant install as they need to be on 1st partition they don't allow apps to be moved to SD card so this gain in reality still does not let you gain more space on 1st partition as it seems it remains locked with a limited space.
Am I right in understanding this swap gain?

I think u are saying that we cannot move some apps like facebook watsaap from internal storage (500 mb) to internal sd card(32gb obtained by swapping)....if I understod wrong then correct me...
Most of the bigger gamez and apps like high end games such as modern combat...nfs most wanted....gta....amazing s.m.
Store there data on internal sd card only
But some apps like fb ..wtsappare not but dsnt creates much problem as its 500 mb...but still if uwnt to move them also use "link to sd" app....google for proer guide on how to setup& use link to sd...it needs that ur memory card (32gb)be partioned into 2 parts....

[Q] Unable to delete clockworkmod backups

Hello everyone,
First of all, I created a new thread yesterday to ask my doubts about stock firmware flashing, and now I am creating this new thread...I know I should not create threads constantly like this, but I dont by any mean to spam...this is the question I stumbled upon now while taking a backup with ClockWorkMod 4.0.0.2 on my Galaxy R and as this is not much related with flashing stock firmware, I created this new thread...Moderators please, please don't consider it as spamming...
Now to my question,
Here is all I came accross since last month...I rooted the device by flashing ardatdat's rooted kernel on my device using ODIN. Later I also installed ClockWorkMod 4.0.0.2 on my cell using ODIN. Then, I backed up the device using CWM. The backup procedure was completed successfully. After reboot, I faced a seriously low sdcard storage space. Unable to find and delete the Backup files, I uninstalled some big space consuming games and then moved on...
Yesterday, I decided to flash ICS stock ROM on my cell, asked on XDA about that, some of its replies suggested me to take a CWM backup instead of just Titanium Backup. So, even though I recalled my condition a month ago, I took the backup again. Before backing up, there was 0.99 MB/3.75G space available on USB storage (which I believe is /sdcard). Guys told me that backups are stored in external SD, so I need not worry about SD card space. External SD had 5 GB of free space. I ran CWM Backup, and rebooted the cell.
After reboot, It again showed critically low USB storage space... (3.73G/3.75G) and I wasn't able to open gallery,camera and music player due to lack of free memory.
I decided to find whereever those big backup files are!
I connected the device to laptop using USB storage connection, and then opened the /sdcard folder of it. It had a 'clockworkmod' folder, but it was empty. On my external SD card, there wasn't any folder named 'clockworkmod'.
Then, I decided to copy all the /sdcard folder to my laptop. I am running Ubuntu. While copying the folder, it gave the error in copying file from source path : '/media/8619-BFA/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup/2013-01-27.05.36.29/system.img' and the phone's USB connection mode got closed automatically!
That was one of the backup files I was trying to find...and now I got their location : '/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup'
Please note that '/external_sd' folder was not related to my External SD card anyway, It was simply a folder in my /sdcard/ path. And while browning the /sdcard on phone, the external_sd folder was used to show me my External SD card files!
Now, I can see the backup files in /sdcard/external_sd folder when viewed from my laptop, but /sdcard/external_sd shows my External SD memory card files when viewed from my cell file explorer.
Any attempt to copy the backup files in /sdcard/external _sd when connected to laptop results in disconnection of USB connection mode...
Please help...thanks a lot!

Sorry for being rude.
Modified post
Buddy what do you exactly want.
Do you want the backups or.what?
Delete them via PC if you dont need them.and be done with it?
Why do.you want to copy them??
Install ICS..it will be simpler for you.
Trust me.
Plus one strict warning.
DONT ASK SAME QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER AGAIN BY MAKING THREADS.
WE SEE AND ANSWER YOUR POSTS.
WE KNOW THE LEVELS OF PATIENCE CROSS LIMITS WHILE FLASHING SOMETHING FOR THE FIRST TIME.
BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND!
WE REPLY..WE ANSWER..WE HELP.
NOTHING GETS AWAY UNANSWERED.
AND BE BRIEF..MOST OF US STILL DONT KNOW WHAT DO YOU WANT.

U can delete it using ur mobile or pc. Just choose ur backup location. And delete it.
BTW, there is no need to create a whole thread when we have q/a sticky thread. I have seen that ur also asking questions in other thread regarding the same issue. Buddy, pls b clear while asking the thing instead of whole big story.
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda premium

I wanted to take CWM backup before flashing anything on my cell...but as the backup was eating my sd card space, I first wanted to know where the backup files are...
Anyways, I found them. Clockwork mod made a new folder named external_sd in my /sdcard, and created backup files there, instead of actually creating them on my external SD. So, I unmounted the external sd from settings, and then I was able to see the backup folder in /sdcard/exernal_sd.
I told the whole story because I wanted to make sure I don't miss anything important while explaining, sorry..
I would be thankful if I get to know any way with which the backups will get actually written on my external sd card and not on the external_sd folder in my internal memory only!

I have... I have 5 GB space on external sd...
But I think the thing is...CWM is not detecting my external sd and it is just making a folder named external_sd and storing the backup files in the internal memory itself...
Do I need to manually mount the external sd card in CWM or something similar so that it will detect it??

I don't know, but it's not doing that...if I flash ICS stock rom or any other custom rom, my /sdcard will be formatted? because CWM is currently storing backups into /sdcard only...

Yes, the place where the backups are is same as your image,
/sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup
But, they are not actually on external memory card...its just a folder named external_sd....but it is actually on my internal memory only!
Whenever I mount my external memory card, whatever I see in the external_sd folder is the contents of my external memory card...which doesn't have a clockworkmod folder.
Whenever I unmount my external memory card,what I see in the external_sd folder is above path and the backup files...

This is the image when I mount the external memory card...

For Deleting previous one. Flash V6 of CWM & remove previous backup using CWM.

For rooted Android phones, there are countless mods that can help users increase their internal memory. One of the most beneficial ones I have found are Link2sd (based on a2sd script) and swapping the internal and external sd card. While Link2sd method works best for phones which don't have an internal sd card, swapping internal and external sd card is a good option for those who want to install big games which requires lots of sd data.​
FAQ
Difference between Internal storage, Internal sd card, External sd card:
Many of you might be confused about what these these terms refer to. External sd card obviously refers to the sd card you put in the external sd card slot in your phone. Internal storage is the space in which applications are installed. Internal storage location is universal and *is* present in every Android device. External sd card is present in all devices that come with a slot for external sd cards. Internal sd card, on the other hand, comes in comparatively newer android devices, and are always present in devices with no external sd cards. Internal sd card is used for storage of data of the games installed and for moving apps to the sd card if that option is selected for a particular app. In devices which have total internal storage above 2 GB almost always have an internal sd card.
What's the best option to have maximum possible space for apps and sd data?
When you decide to swap your internal and external sd card, you have lots of space for sd data of games and for storing apps' data. Your internal storage stays as it was, at anywhere from 512 MB -1 GB. If this much storage isn't enough for you, you can use your internal sd card's memory as your internal storage. To do this, we have to repartition the phone's total internal memory.
Repartitioning internal storage and swapping internal sd card with external sd card when used together will give you the max possible space for both, installing apps and storing their data.
________________________________________________________________________
Note: Backup your apps and data before following anything given below.; We won't be responsible for any damages. DOn't try this if you don't have a MT657x device.

How to increase internal storage on your MT657x phone:
Jaydvn (xda) created a tool called MT657x repartition tool. This tool works only on Mediatek devices with either MT6575 or MT6577 chipsets. Here are the steps you need to follow to use this tool to increase your app installation space.​
Download the app from http://d-h.st/Tcx.
Install the app as you usually do.
Grant superuser permissions when asked.
Choose the size you want your internal storage to be. Make sure that this isn't more than the total internal space your phone has. To know that, go to Settings > Storage and add up all the storage space there except external sd card.
In the pop up that appears, tap the highlighted button.
The message means (as translated by Google Translate):
Confirm/ Determine
Click Dong y to confirm Memory changes.
Dong y means that you confirm the action, while Huy probably means No. Google translate provided silly translations for these two
For changes to take effect, you have to boot into recovery and click Factory Reset/ Wipe Data.
To boot into recovery, select reboot recovery from the app. This will cause another pop up to appear which says:
In recovery, select Wipe Data/ Factory reset to complete the process of memory division.
Press the Dong button to confirm the reboot.
Once you reboot in recovery, do as told above i.e. Factory Reset your device from there.
Reboot your phone and go to Settings > Storage and confirm that the changes have took effect.
______________________________________________________________________________
Feel free to try it on your android device if you are sure that it runs on a mediatek Mt657x chipset, where the x can be any number. To know what chipset your pone is powered by, either check it specs on gsmarena and if your phone is not listed there, install Quadrant app from Play Store and view detailed info about your device using this app.
Do let us know how you are going to use the extra app installation space you just used. Also, share this article with your friends who might own a device powered by a Mediatek MT657x chipset.
