Right away I want to say I am sorry because I am sure this question has been answered already but please understand sometimes you don't know how to property ask a question to get proper answer I'll try this now and because you are real people and not search engine you'll understand
1. I have Samsung Vibrant and I like to know is it possible to just move everything from Android\data on internal to Android\data on external card. I tried to go to manage and move programs and from what I understand phone moving only program itself and not huge content folder that under Android\data. So this is my first question it is possible to move ?
2. I am using CM7 and for very long time I want to clean everything I got in my phone yet when I am doing reset cache and wipe user data EVERYTHING stays in there I mean how does this work at all ? Yes OS goes out but all my game files , pictures even some videos stays in there as well as folders from old programs and stuff. So my question is if I got to let's say Windows explorer and just ctrl+a everything and hit delete what will happen ? I mean basically my main goal is to get everything out form my phone EVERYTHIN,G is it possible ? Like with external I guess I can format it outside phone or even inside but how about internal ? I have about 140 folders in there right now half are .foldername and other half just some garbage programs and files that no longer in use.
I hope this is not too much boring read and thanks in advance !
I would hook it up to the computer and format both, then wipe in recovery. Then, I would think u would be fine. Tell me if you still have files.....
Thank me if this helped!

Just format both drives ? Will it destroy OS or it;s in like ROM that not visible to me. Anyhow another question. It took me some time to get this game content and game saves going can I save it before I format ?
Thanks
it will erase everything but the os. Yes all roms and backups will be gone. Everything will be erased. Probably just best to restart.

That really depends on the developer, if there is code to find the Data in the path to the external sd.
I would guess that most apps will not work by just moving the data to the ext sd.
You could try moving the directory and creating a symlink from the internal folder to the external one, so when the files are looked for on the internal sd, the ones on the external are automaticly used.
I would just find a random app and try it out, there is not much that could go wrong. In the worst case you just reinstall the app.

As said above, it really depends on the developer. I would only move them if they give the option or do it by going to settings and application. I would look up if the data can be moved though.

Moving App to ExtSdcard
Well, I recomend you to install this two app.
Clean Master: it has an app manager to move app to the extsdcard. This works only if the app have the data files in the directorie
Storage/sdcard0/android/data/. Like NFS- Most Wated. The good news is that the app let you know how many mb the app have and by one click you can move to the sd card, the bat news is that only works the way I told you unless they update the app.
Lidroid File Manager: which have a plugging to mount folders ( the plugging have to be installed from google or from inside the app ).
With this you can mount the Obb directory: Storage/sdcard0/android/Obb where many big games leave the data. With this I recomend you to manually copy the obb files in the extsdcard and paste it an a folder you will use as a SOURCE FOLDER, and erace it from obb folder before mount.
This app doesn't appears in the Play Store due to "Incompatibility with our Tablet" but you can find it in ( us. Lzfile. com) this together is the url I can't post outside links. Find what is to mount a folder in a post if you don't know.
In this article I will be describing the usage of Link2SD most effectively for android devices running 2.2 or higher or Custom ROMs.
[Note: Your Device MUST be Rooted and have Link2SD installed with a partitioned SD Card. If not Rooted, you may visit my page on Rooting and Partitioning using the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37849627#post37849627
Rooting and Partitioning is Universal and can be done almost all the Android Devices using the same way but by using only the right update.zip meant for the particular Device.
Have you installed Link2SD after doing partition, but still are not able to free up enough space? The reason for this problem is that even after you link the application to SD, some portion of the app, remains on the Internal Memory. These files are called DEX files which occupy space in the Dalvik cache of the Internal Memory.
In this Guide I will be teaching you how to move most of the portion of the Application to the SD Card.
There are basically two types of apps. First those which phone memory only, i.e. can’t be moved to external storage without using third party applications. Such as WhatsApp, widgets, Anti-Viruses etc. To move these apps, Simply Select the app and Create Link. Then tick all the three options of Link Apk file, Link Dalvik-Cache files and Link Lib files. Now these apps will be moved to the partitioned storage without affecting their working. (Only a small portion may remain on the Internal memory which cannot be moved and is necessary for the proper working of app.)
The second category is of the apps which can be moved to SD. But Sometimes the problem with these applications is that not the whole part of the Application is stored on the SD card. Some portion remains on the internal storage which maybe annoying because even after Linking these apps nothing happens, instead they occupy even more space on the internal memory.
Now let us begin with the procedure.
1. Install Link2SD.
2. Open Link to SD. Filter the apps which are on Phone Memory only.
3. Select them all and Link them to SD using Create Link. Remember to tick all the 3 options- Link apk files, Link Dalvik (DEX) files & Link Lib files before creating the Link. This should free a lot of space.
4. Now Filter the apps on SD cards. Sort them in the order of Dex Size
5. You will find the culprit apps accused of stealing your precious internal storage.
6. The Dex Size indicates the size the app has been occupying on the internal storage.
7. Now Multi-Select the apps (5-10 at a time, because the whole apps will be moved to internal memory first before being transferred to the SD Card.), Select Actions -> Create Link. Select only Link Dalvik-cache files.
8. First the applications will be moved to SD, then Linked. It will take a minute or so.
9. After they are linked, It will take some time before it shows free internal storage.
10. Similarly do the same for all the other apps which acquire considerable amount of space.
By this method, you will get a lot of free space.
Want to free up even more?
Almost all the devices come with pre-installed Bloat ware, i.e. programs that are hardly use but occupy unnecessary space on the phone memory. Moving them to SD is a good option.
IMPORTANT: Do not uninstall or move system apps which are important for proper functioning of the system. You may end up damaging your device. It is recommended to make a backup of Current ROM using CWM.
The following system apps have been removed by me which do not cause any instability to the system but free up a lot of space.
1. Quickoffice
2. Email
3 Google Maps
If you use these apps, you may consider another option, i.e. converting these apps to user apps. This won’t affect in the functioning of the programs.
1. Select the app in Link2SD.
2. From options, select convert to user app.
3. Now the app will be moved to SD card but will occupy space on internal Memory.
4. Follow the above instructions of Link Dalvik-Cache and moving to SD using App2SD.
5. You are done! You must have freed a lot of space. Now you may start installing New Apps without giving a thought about your internal storage!
You can also free some more space( if occupied) by the following Methods:
1. Clearing the App Cache using App2SD or Link2SD.
2. Clearing the Dalvik-Cache using Link2SD. Link2SD->Options->more->Clear Dalvik Cache.
HIT THANKS IF MY POST HELPED YOU
Remember: Some apps may stop functioning or may Force Close. To fix this problem Re-install the app using Link2SD. :good::highfive:

I've noticed that moving via apps2sd uses internal for dex and libs, they have to be linked in order to save space.
Go to linked, multiselect and choose create links.I have to do this lately after every reboot as it leaves some files unlinked and some uninstalled alltogether!.
I got problem after move installed apps when i create link for it. The apps cannot open and when i remove link, the apps still can't open.
Please find the solution for it.
data to sd?
is it possible to link data to sd? i can't install anything else on my phone because the data partition is full.

Link those huge data files? Yes you can. Use directory bind / folder mount.
Paradox ST21i
Thanks. I followed the steps but unfortunately the apps still occupy space on the internal memory. e.g. I have 3 apps -
1. Google Play services
2. Titanium backup
3. Maps
After creating a link, these apps still show up on internal memory using 12.25 MB, 12.92MB and 8.28 MB memory respectively. No effect at all. I have followed the exact steps. If i move them to SD card, it frees up some space but i believe that is not what is recommended?
Need someone's help to fix it. I have searched internet and they all talk about the same steps but does not seems to work. My phone is samsung ace S5830.

apk stays on phone memory
I've observed if I link only the Dex files, the apks stay on the internal memory instead of sd card. I could find them in /data/apk folder. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong? :fingers-crossed: :silly:
I have rooted my Micromax A 57 and installed custom ROM, the system is working fine, but the only issue is that, I am unable to download apps from Playstore as my cache memory shows only 15% free, I tried link2sd with extended partition, but am unable to clear the cache, before rooting it was something 90% free.
Can some one help me out
Thanks & Regards
Nilesh
Yes it works
it freed my phone from 68 to 258
awesome
Truly awesome idea zaeem
Moving the dex files work.
And if using backup sw, kindly uncheck the auto link option from link2sd. As manually moving frees more space

Link2SD Method & Problem Fixes
I've tried this method twice. I've got it working somewhat.
For the guy who said it took up his space, you've got to go into Link2SD & set the path correctly to your EXT4 2nd SD card partition. For example mine was '/storage/sdext2' for the EXT4 partiton and '/storage/extSDCard' for the fat32/exfat or whatever.
It will move some apps, but my problem is this. When I try to move "System Apps" or even some regular apps like SoundForge that said unmovable for some reason. It would disappear on reboot. I did the "Create/re-create bootup scripts" the "quick reboot user interface" all that. Out of almost 200 apps it said only 42 were moveable...they'll all show up but the whole purpose is to remove bloatware & stuff too that you may still want to use sometime via ur SD cards 2nd EXT4 partition.
After flashing a new ROM on my Note 2 SGH-T889 I was told to erase my partitions & re-partition. I've tried that still with no luck. I still can't move apps like "SoundForge" listed as unmovable without it disappearing on Reboot.
I've set SuperSU to allow su/root on boot. It mounts the ext4 correctly, still can't for the life of me get it working fully. I'm using the Ditto DN3 Hybrid S5/Note 3 ROM.
Do you guys know if maybe I have to install another Kernel or something for this to work?
I haven't found a solution to get the apps to stop disappearing on Reboot yet. Any help would be great on that note!!!
Thanks guys, & good luck!

Try playing with the combination of what you link.
In my case, unlinking internal data (or just linking internal data) solved the issue.
This is a guide to help you solve all problems related to Xperia L memory which includes internal, external SD card and RAM.
THIS IS NOOB PROOF GUIDE. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TESTED BY ME AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY FINE.
USE THIS GUIDE ON YOUR OWN RISK. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE
In this guide I will show you how to install many games on your Xperia without really swapping your internal and external memory. Also, I will help you regain your lost memory in case if it doesnot add up to your total. Further, if you think you havenot got much on your phone but still a lot of space is hogged by unknown files. All will be done using your phone and thus requires NO PROGRAMMING OR EDITING ANY FILES OF YOUR PHONE.
ROOT IS MANDATORY FOR THIS TO WORK
Only selected files might work partially thus root is recommended. UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER is not required.

INSTRUCTIONS
The phone MUST be fully rooted and all the recommended applications isntalled. They can be easily found on the Google Play. Links are provided for reference. In this guide I have used all the PRO (paid) applications. The Free versions will do fine but It is expected that some options are disabled in the free version. Google is your friend
After installing all these applications with your phone rooted, follow next posts
Game Installed and free space
ADVANCED TASK KILLER
Advanced task manager is used to kill tasks running in the background.
Add advanced task killer widget to your home screen. Every time you need to kill background applications, just tap it once. This way all the applications in the background are periodically killed and thus, more RAM is available to your system and thus increased performance.
GREENIFY[ROOT]:
This application/system basically looks for applications running in the background. These background processes might slow down system. Furthermore, these increase the battery usage and reduce battery time. Greenify detects the background applications and hibernates them. This not only speeds up the phone but also saves battery.
SICK OF BLOATWARE? TITANIUM BACKUP [ROOT]
Titanium backup is used for backing up your applications and system files. This can also DELETE applications from your ROM permenantly.
I recommend you make a backup with Titanium backup before uninstalling the files. REMEMBER, IF YOU UNINSTALL A SYSTEM FILE, YOU WILL NEED TO REFLASH YOUR ROM and you will end up in BOOTLOOP.
I will paste a screenshot to tell you which applications can be deleted easily.
OTHER SETTINGS :
Go to your settings>developers tools> background limit> use as less as you want. THIS WILL INCREASE USER EXPERIENCE
This one is very easy. Install Folder Mount and it will do the rest. Remember with free version, you can only mount 3 folders. The application is frequently updated and it has great support for Xperia L.
Basically this application creates a link folder in your SD card which is detected by games automatically once fully setup. It also moves your files into your SD card and this saves your EXTERNAL MEMORY FULLY. You can install as many games or applications and link them to your SD card. Its that simple.
Use App analyzer option to mount folders. Manual folder mounts are not recommended!
Go to app analyzer>Select Game> Creat pair(s)>Move files as well> Mounted
SCREENSHOTS :
This can be managed by SD MAID and TITANIUM BACKUP.
With SD Maid, you can free a lot of space. It has many cool features. I use the Corpse finder and System cleaner. You may also try appcleaner if you like.
Go to CORPSE FINDER>FIND FILES>DELETE ALL FILES. It will take some time looking for files.
SYSTEMCLEANER>FIND FILES>DELETE ALL FILES. It will take some time looking for files.
TITANIUM BACKUP IS USED TO RELOCATE THE MEMORY THAT IS MISSING.
Titanium backup> MENU > clean up the dalvik cache
This will also give you back some INTERNAL MEMORY BACK WHICH MIGHT BE LOST.
PICTURES AFTER REMOVED BLOATWARE :
DO NOT UNINSTALL ANY SYSTEM APPLICATION. Applications like facebook, office, and other missing applications can be uninstalled.
Clear dalvik cache after deleting bloatware

Are you rooted ? Have you tried everthing as I mentioned ? This must clear all your space being hogged unnecessarily.
Try installing this app as well, It would help you do wonders too.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qihoo.cleandroid&hl=en
And provide more information or else it's extremely hard to know what exactly is troubling you!
First why:
When I got this phone I was disappointed with fact that primary storage isn't switchable and free user data space is approximately 2.2 GB. Which means that all application data goes to internal storage so it is impossible to use apps like Need for Speed, Navigation app, ShowBox and others. I believe you all find that annoying.
After I saw @Dhruvit Pokharna topic I started to poke a little bit over XDA and I noticed that this was done before ( back in 2012 ) and with various Samsung phones. So I decided to change and adapt script for our phone. Original script was created by @mattiadj from whom I still waiting for permission to change script and to publish it. But I'am going to do it anyway.
What the script do:
It swipe internal sd (/storage/sdcard0) with external micro sd (/storage/extSdCard) and viceversa.
"With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff"
required:
- root
- custom recovery
- kernel with init.d support
- BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson
- swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN
How to and why:
Before installing swap if you moved some apps to sd move it back to phone to avoid conflict of course.
1. Root your phone first
2. Install custom recovery *(here or here)
3. Make a backup. Just in case of zombie attack *
4. Install kernel with init.d support *(here or here)
5. Install BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson.zip (flashable provided below )
6. Install swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN.zip (flashable provided below)
7. Why * because you have choice
That's it. Your external sd is internal now and you can enjoy your big internal memory.
If you want to reverse it simply go to /system/etc/init.d delete 11extsd2internalsd and reboot your phone.

Tutotial is simple. Step by step.
I don't see reason why you can't use this if your Phone has same spec as mine .
Check with root explorer following :
/storage/sdcard0
/storage/extSdCard
/dev/block/vold/179:129
If this is it you're good to go..
And for your existing game data just copy it after at proper place
Here is whole script:
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:129 /storage/sdcard0
sleep 30
mount -o bind /data/media /storage/extSdCard
chmod 777 /mnt/extSdCard
sleep 10
chown 1023:1023 /storage/extSdCard
chown 1000:1000 /storage/sdcard0

Install applications from play store goes to default internal memory without problem.
When you have downloaded apk from some other site only way for now is to copy it to /data/app than change permission and owner and install it from there. I still didn't figured it out why is that only way for download and backuped apks.
Regarding data app I think you mean what was asked in second post. If you used link2sd or some similar app after swaping just check are data and obb are stored under folder /Android in your external SD so that you could use your saved apps resources.

Hi!
File Commander shows the swap (a lot of memory as device memory) and a little amount (the internal, as sd card memory), but when I get into app administration it only shows the small amount of memory as the avaible for applications, I've tried downloading some apps after the process just to see if that amount was static but it keeps going down with every app, so I guess it isn't working, or only games and apps which use large amounts of memory are saved at the external storage?
Edit: I can't neither nstall apps directl from the storage, just from the play store.
Thanks! :good:

Answer to the trouble is in title. If you want to revert it go to /system/etc/init.d and delete 11ext2int.

Well, i already did it, ty Revert works very good
But i wanted to know what i can make wrong. I mean i did everything as it wrote in title. But maybe such fail was already corrected by some user.
And also free space was the same for card and phone memory. i mean if free memory on phone is 200mb, then on sd card its also 200mb.

If you looking in settings storage you will see that. It's the way it is because I couldn't swap whole data partition. I only swap extSdCard with legacy sdcard0 or internal memory. Swapping mmcblk0p22 with mmcblk1p1 wouldn't work because p22 is fst ext4 and p1 is vfat.
Can I use this mod to my Samsung galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H??

Check with root explorer following :
/storage/sdcard0
/storage/extSdCard
/dev/block/vold/179:129
If this is it you're good to go..

app installisation error

First why:
When I got this phone I was disappointed with fact that primary storage isn't switchable and free user data space is approximately 2.2 GB. Which means that all application data goes to internal storage so it is impossible to use apps like Need for Speed, Navigation app, ShowBox and others. I believe you all find that annoying.
After I saw @Dhruvit Pokharna topic I started to poke a little bit over XDA and I noticed that this was done before ( back in 2012 ) and with various Samsung phones. So I decided to change and adapt script for our phone. Original script was created by @mattiadj from whom I still waiting for permission to change script and to publish it. But I'am going to do it anyway.
What the script do:
It swipe internal sd (/storage/sdcard0) with external micro sd (/storage/extSdCard) and viceversa.
"With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff"
required:
- root
- custom recovery
- kernel with init.d support
- BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson
- swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN
How to and why:
Before installing swap if you moved some apps to sd move it back to phone to avoid conflict of course.
1. Root your phone first
2. Install custom recovery *(here or here)
3. Make a backup. Just in case of zombie attack *
4. Install kernel with init.d support *(here or here)
5. Install BusyBox-v1.23.0-Stericson.zip (flashable provided below )
6. Install swap_intsd2extsdcard_SM-G355HN.zip (flashable provided below)
7. Why * because you have choice
That's it. Your external sd is internal now and you can enjoy your big internal memory.
If you want to reverse it simply go to /system/etc/init.d delete 11extsd2internalsd and reboot your phone.
