I have found a solution for your low memory space problems on a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 16GB
Courtesy of TweakerL, modified for the S4 with his permission.
Original script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1888986
Features:
Install apps and data directly to the external SD
[*]Moves existing apps and data to the external SD
[*]Mounts the /data folders to the external SD on boot
[*]Free your internal SD memory for use
[*]Uses a second EXT4 partition on your MicroSD
[*]Seamless intergration
NOTE: This now works on stock ROM's and stock kernel's.
I have tested this script successfully on stock MDF, ME3, MEA, MF4, MF8 and Omega ROM's. Works with ktoonsez 6/23/2013 and Abyss 1.1 kernels. Adam 1.4 kernel hangs on reboot, but can be flashed after the script has installed successfully. This works on faux kernel even though it does not have init.d support.
Requirements:
Experience with Android modding, although not strictly required
Galaxy S4 GT-I9505
ROOT Access
Fuse mod which will be installed
MicroSD, preferably a blank 64GB Class 10
Busybox Installer from Playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer
Terminal Emulator from Playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
Any root explorer from Playstore, I use ES https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
PerfMon from Playstore, free from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933284
Any zip extractor app from Playstore, ES has one built-in
Partition Table from Playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cls.partition
A computer to create EXT4 partition on the MicroSD
MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition v7.8 free from here http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
Pre-install preparations:
Do a Nandroid backup of your current ROM, if you have a custom recovery
Although not required with this script, backup your apps with Titanium or another app.
Backup your MicroSD. This is important if you have files on it that you want to keep.
Using MiniTool Partition Wizard, format your whole MicroSD to FAT32
Then resize the first partition to your requirements. e.g. 30GB and 30GB for the second
Create the second partition and select Primary, EXT4 and 4KB cluster size
In my example below I have a 40GB EXT4 partition for my apps and games
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
While your waiting for the MicroSD to finish formatting, install the apps listed above
Install busybox v1.20.2 to /system/xbin. This is a important step.
Once thats done put your MicroSD back into your S4
Installation instructions:
Extract the A2SD zip to /sdcard
Run the Terminal Emulator
Code:
Type [B]su[/B] then press enter
Type [B]cd /sdcard/a2sd[/B] then press enter
Type [B]sh ./install-a2sd[/B] then press enter
It should install successfully, press enter to reboot
Once rebooted, run your root explorer
Navigate to /sdcard/Tweaked.Scripts/A2SD
If there is a DEVICE_IS_READY file you can reboot again
Upon reboot, run PerfMon, select Disk I/O
You will see the data moving between internal to external SD
Run root explorer and navigate to /sdcard/Tweaked.Scripts/A2SD
Wait till all the data has been moved. NOTE: It can take a while if you have a full sdcard
IMPORTANT: The Read and Write columns on DISK I/O must all be '0' before you reboot
Refresh /sdcard/Tweaked.Scripts/A2SD in root explorer
If there is a DEVICE_IS_READY file you can reboot again
Once rebooted, your apps and data now reside in your external SD
It does look like nothing has happened but everything is now running from external SD
If you find the 'SD-EXT' folder in '/Android/data' ; '/Android/obb' ; '/data/app' ; '/data/data' then these folders are now mounted on your external EXT4 partition instead of the internal sdcard.
Now reboot again for the fourth and final time
Once rebooted all apps and app data will be deleted from the internal sdcard except your user files
Open the Application Manager in More Settings
You can see the free space increasing before your very eyes
As you can see your apps are still installed with their data
You can see what was deleted in /sdcard/Tweaked.Scripts
To find out how much space is being used on your MicroSD's second partition
Run the Partition Table app and look for /storage/sd-ext/data
If you subtract the available from the total space in the screenshot below, it is less than the applications and other data added together.
NOTE: At the moment, there is no reversal script. Restore a nandroid backup to reverse. This will not restore the Android/data though. Remember to put back your files on your MicroSD that you backed up
WARNINGS:
DO NOT DELETE '/sdcard/Tweaked.Scripts' OR IT WILL STOP THE SCRIPTS WORKING
DO NOT REMOVE MICROSD CARD WHILE THE PHONE IS ON. ALWAYS POWER OFF FIRST SO TO NOT CORRUPT DATA.
DO NOT REBOOT THE PHONE WITHOUT THE MICROSD CARD, YOUR PHONE WILL BE IN A STOCK STATE AGAIN IF YOU DO AND FORCE CLOSURES MIGHT HAPPEN
Changelog:
v1.0 Released 16-06-2013
v1.1 25-06-2013
Runs on stock ROM and kernels
Flashing custom or stock kernel will not affect script
Rename install-recovery.sh in Omega ROM as not needed
Add a init.d test script
This is awesome!, But will it work on i9500?
It will not install on any S4 but I9505 for now. I would need some system info to make it work for other variants. Any volunteers to test script's?

It would'n be possible to handle this with a dedicated application ?
I am seeing if it can be installed from a flashable zip. As for making a App, I don't know. Might look into it later maybe. No promises.

No offense but why would you go to all of this bother when you can just use Folder Mount free app?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
No offense taken. Why am I going to so much bother? Well this is XDA after all and because I wanted a seamless and maintenance free solution. I used to use directory bind and it became very tedious to move data over every time I installed a app or game with large data.
This script once installed allows you to install and run apps and games directly from the Playstore on your micro sd card including the data and obb files. Install it once and forget about it. It treats the external memory as though it is the internal, but not totally swapped. It's safer than that method.
As for Folder Mount it's the same as directory bind. Too high maintenance for me. It is also limited to 3 mounts I believe unless you pay. It's great if you don't have the knowledge to use a script but for me if I can do it a better way I will always follow that path.

Deus_ex11 -
the apps will be installed in fat32 or ext4?
Yes you are required to make a second partition on your Microsd card with the EXT4 file system. It will be faster for your apps. Remember to backup the card before you partition it.

Great its really good work man
Just a heads up. DO NOT use ADAM kernel to install this script until advised. It hangs on reboot. You can use Adam kernel after you have installed the script successfully. Also Faux kernel doesn't have init.d support.

Well i'm using Omega v5.0 MEA ROM with init support dosnt need a kernel to support it its this ok ?
I have not tried that Rom. It's a Samsung based Rom. If it has init.d support without a custom kernel then it shouldn't be a problem but you will need to remove the # from the sysinit file on this line '/system/bin/logwrapper busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d'

It's in the A2SD zip. Before you run the A2SD script. You can test if you have init.d support first by adding the attached test script to /etc/init.d and rebooting.
If you have a 'init.d.log' file in /sdcard then your init.d is working.
Forgot to add, extract the 99testinit.zip to /etc/init.d

oops sorry
oh.. than sorry i will edit my thread but anyway d2ext+ is also best right?
does this support stock explorer rom??
Thanks
Works great! thanks a lot. But one small problem...The Dalvik Cache's size has become 150mb, the size of the internal memory (data_internal) on HTC Explorer and I barely have around 40 apps. Its not letting me install more apps and the device is hanging every half hour or so, forcing me to reboot. this has become very problematic. Rest all is working fine. Please advice.

no it works just fine mine is 8gb class 4 and it wont increase internel memory these scripts mount sd-ext and make the phone think that sd-ext is the internal memory, installing any app will go into sd-ext (internal memory)

In order to install any other memory script .... you will have to repartition your SD card... Which will result in formatting of the SD. I suggest you make a backup of your sd card on your computer. Advisable.

Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda premium
In link2sd the app data cache and dalvik cache are transferred to the external partition.. in this the SD ext partition acts as a part of your internal memory.. its your personal choice about which script to use... also some ROMs do not support some scripts .. like this is not supported in the Sense 4.0A and its modded ROMs..
PS my sdext size is 600 odd + 0 swap
Check out the screenshot for your understanding.. on what happens when you use. It.
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda premium
Yeah I understand that but is there any difference in using the app or adding the script in the rom? Also what does ungaze do?
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda premium
Apps2sd app transfers app data to your SD card.. and when you mount your SD on your computer as mass storage it may result in the force closing of some of your apps.. where as in int2ext it is transferred to the ext partition which is not mounted on your computer.. hence your apps remain unaffected..

Ungaze .. is similar to int2ext but it has different requirement s and sometimes the write speed is diff on the SD card.. you can check the individual posts for all the correct specs..
Also note that int2ext+ will work only for ROMs having init.d support so check the ROM you are about to flash and then use of the script

You could try d2ext from the thread you linked to. I think IcySnap is using that for moving apps to SD.
Custom roms may never be 100% stable, but there are many which are pretty decent for daily usage, and IMHO miles better than stock GB at least.
What's wrong with link2sd that made you not consider it?

Link2sd doesnt have any issue. You can recreate facebook's link.. and this time check move app Data option also.
You cant move system app first of all.. if you want to move system app using link2sd.. convert them to internal app.
And be sure.. what you move!

You need to change your kernel on stock rom if you want init.d scripts, flash djnoxd kernel, if it still didn't work you will have to install busybox from Stericson on play store

This Dual Boot Kernel are based on SkyHigh 1.5 for Gingerbread, CastagnaIT v7.6 for ICS, Phenom Kernel 3.6 for Jelly Bean (4.1.2) and Phenom Kernel 3.6 for Jelly Bean (4.2.2) with some modifications to make it boot from your sd card !
You can Dual Boot every Rom ! as example : cm10.1 and samsung stock or cm9 and cm10.
For easy Rom-Switching, broodplank1337 makes an app, just flash the zip file in CWM
Note: DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK ! I RECOMMEND A FAST SD CARD; OTHERWISE YOUR SECOND ROM WILL RUN VERY SLOW !
The developers of the original Kernel arent responsible for any damage that might be happen by flashing this files ! Also, if you use one of these kernels, don´t report bugs in the original thread ! if you have an Bug,you could flash the normal version of the kernel and check if the bug still appears, if yes, you can post the Bug in the original Kernel Thread, if no, you can post it here.
Installation Guide
1. Partition your external SD card : There is a youtube video how to use the programm : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9bVQ72YIuU&feature=youtu.be
First partition is the partition for YOUR data
Second partition have to be an 1GB ext4 partition, its for /system
Third partition have to be an 2GB ext4 partition, its for /data
And partition number 4 have to be an 300 MB ext4 partition, its for /cache
For partition you can use Easeus Partition Master, link below.
Its very important that the partitions are in the right order, otherwise installation of rom fails.
2. Download the boot.img, the update-script (link below) and the DualBoot App zip, and of course Download the rom that you want to have on external SD
Note:Choose the right boot.img ! There is one subfolder for each Android Version, download the one for the Android Version that your SECOND rom based on
3. Replace the boot.img inside the rom zip with my downloaded one and replace the update-script inside meta-inf-com-google-android
4. Put the DualBoot App zip and your rom zip file which includes with my boot.img and my updater-script on your internal/external sd card
5. Reboot to recovery and install the DualBoot zip
6. Reboot to Android and open the DualBoot App
7. Now choose the right option, there are two for every Android version, one for boot from external SD and one to Boot from internal SD, for now, choose the option thats the right for your second rom (as example you will install cm10.1 as second rom, choose Boot Jelly Bean (4.2.2) from external SD)
8. Reboot your phone to recovery, install your second Rom and the DualBoot App zip,
9. Reboot to Android, your second rom should boot now, if you wanna go back to your first rom, start DualBoot app and choose Boot (...) from internal SD, you have to choose the option for the Android version that you first rom have ( as example if your first rom is cm10, choose Boot Jelly Bean (4.1.2) from internal Storage

5. Put the rom zip file with my boot.img inside on your phone
6. Reboot to recovery
7. Install the modified Kernel
8. Install the Rom
9. Maybe install something like gapps or mods
Now you can reboot your phone and it should boot the second rom from sdcard !
If you want to boot the rom which are installed on the internal memory, just reboot to recovery and flash another, unmodified kernel.
If you want to boot the rom which are installed on the external SD Card, just reboot to recovery and flash the modified Kernel.
If you wanna change the rom, just start the Dual Boot App and click on the right option, next reboot it will boot the rom you choosed

wow are you for real? Awesome job man! I'm not going to try it since I have to much stuff that I need to continuously test (for example broodROM JB) but I think this project is really cool, have you done it by editing the ramdisk or using the actual kernel source?
Oh and btw, the zImage is for ICS as well. it's always like that. (only the ramdisk needs to be changed for that)
Long story short, awesome work

Second: yes, i think you also can install it on internal but you have to swap the too sd cards with swap sd so that yo have your external, internal.
This way we could switch between THREE ROMs!! One on the external and one on the internal and then a swap with swap sd :good:
One question
I can only use 2 ROMs with the own android version right?
(Also 4.1.2 and 4.1.2 not 4.0.x with 4.1.2 )

I take no credit for this, but I don't see anything on the Photon Q threads here really detailing how to do this or confirming that it works.
From forum xda-developers com showthread.php?t=2229848
Courtesy of ZaYAC-ua (forum xda-developers com member.php?u=2303983)
Mount the external SD in place internal SD.
Option for editing via Root Explorer
Go to the folder "System" to set it right R / W.
Find the file "build.prop" and open it as a text.
Find the line "persist.fuse_sdcard = true" (in the middle of the file)
Change the "true" to "false". It turns out "persist.fuse_sdcard = false"
Save and exit. To turn off the simulation data/media on the internal SD
Go to the folder "/system/etc" and find the file "vold.fstab"
Separates it as text.
Find the line "dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host"
Change the "1" to "0"
Add the line "dev_mount external /storage/sdcard1 auto /data/media"
Save and exit. Now External SD card is mounted in place internal SD.
Restart.

I've done this to mine and the only side effect so far is the loss of ~4GB of internal memory that didn't swap (if someone could figure that out it'd be nice to have I guess). However, I now have my full 32GB SD card as the "internal SD" instead. There's risk involved here, loss of data if your SD card corrupts being the biggest worry. However I need that space available for apps. The first time it filled up, I knew there was something wrong. I have a little over 3GB of music that I keep locally on my phone because I frequently go out of service areas and 4G isn't quite online here in Detroit just yet.
Some other things
- You need root (I used Motochopper from droidrzr com for simplicity)
- I used AntTek File Explorer from my phone to make the changes. Other methods work, but see post #8 in that thread for exceptions
FIRST DO NOT drag files from phone to PC modify them then place back on phone this corrupts files result no Boot!!
Second ROOT EXPLORER would not modify files no matter what I tried yes I,m aware of RO RW and so on.
Third Download ES FILE EXPLORER Brilliant APP for file access, connecting to your LAN and seamless transfer of files between Phone and PC
oh yes and Editing system files.
- Tested on current OTA 4.1.2, CM users need the other process from that thread.
- I still had to symlink to get Google Play to dump onto my SD card. ROM toolbox pro made that pretty easy with it's shortcut function.
doesn't work on cm10.1
I've done this method since I was using Atrix HD. It will work on any Moto Qualcomm devices with JB 4.1.2. First,you should edit build.prop to turn off data/media. The rest is editing vold.fstab. But,it won't work on any CM10.1 based ROMs coz different mount point of storage. You can use the whole internal as storage for apps and the whole external sdcard as internal sd so that you can have a lot of huge game data.

Correct. But I did not say anything about App2SD.
I stated to use Link2SD, which requires a dual formatted microSD card with both partitions marked as Primary. Link2SD can see the secondary one, and send data from apps, even system apps, to that hidden partion.
Trust me. It works. I am using it now.

Hmmm...that's odd. I am playing "Waking Mars" and it worked fine on Link2SD. Mine show that
Application file
Davlik-Cache
Library Files
Can all be linked. I would assume, and by looking at the less data usage, that Library files are the main file data that takes up the most space.
But, I'm not an expert.
I think there is a program out that that reverses the external and internal SD card usage. But that might not be a safe solution either.
....i have found better way...search xda for Directory Bind.
I have test it with Re-Volt game (approx 100mb) and it works
Oh, Re-Volt exist for Android too? Great.

Hi,
on my Sony Xperiy Pro (Android 2.3.4) I used Link2SD for a long time - until I had to reboot the phone some times.
After each rebooting, a lot of important apps were missing, and everything was a big mess. It took me 2 days to get it working again - until the next reboot.
Finally I found out:
Link2SD did a great job with linking DEX-files and apk-files to the third partition. That worked great.
But when rebooting the phone, some weird services of android (or: Sony?) did a kind of cleanup:
All .dex files were created freshly on the small internal partition. Each time this took about 10 to 15 minutes - until this partition run out of space. Then this process seems to have been stopped and the rest of the apps were missing. This problem could not be solved by a simple relinking in Link2SD...
So my question is:
Can I use Link2SD on my Photon Q without having to care for enough space for dex-files on the internal partition? I'm using the original Motorola Android 4.1.2.
Thank you.
