Hi guys, I'm looking for a app that will let me delete empty folders left behind from apps I have installed. It's a pain doing it manually. Would like to keep my internal & sd card tidy. ?
Thanks in advance ?

Well the first hit in that link takes you straight to an empty folder delete app on google play.
Does sd maid need root access? As I don't have root

It doesn't need root, but it enjoys it .
Without root SD Maid will obviously only be able to access non root files including non root empty directories.

Have you tried making an ext-4 partition on your card? If the ROM supports it it will install apps in there automatically
Why is not good?
@iLeopard.
Read the OP. Except SD card partition

=====================================
APP2SD doesn't move some apps to sdcard.
That's because some apps aren't movable. These include Widgets, system apps and apps that developers have blocked from being moved
To install an app the PlayStore wont let you install do the following (You will need at least one device compaible with the phone)
Install ESFile explorer on the Device with the working App.
Tap On App Manager then Select and HOLD the Application you want.
From the List Select Back-Up
Then Back out back to the first page, and find the Backup folder, and go into it, then into the Apps folder.
Your see the APK backed up.
Then Press and HOLD, and select SHARE.
Share the file to your DropBox
You can then grab the file on your PC and install anyway you see fit.
If you have Unknown sources ticked, you can also then open Dropbox on the Nexus 7, navigate to the folder you shared it to, and install it from there. (Simples)
You could also share the file Via Bluetooth, I have not tested to see if it will let you install the file, but I cant see why not) (Thanks for the idea Gogeta)
I installed and am now using BT Smart talk this way.
Hope this helped someone.
If you find a simpler way please post it.
If I managed to help, please say Thanks.
How about download the apk and install it..

As Per Title, This is for files that PlayStore WON'T let you install. So no way to install it. The .APK may not be available elsewhere, like BT Smart Talk.

Good thinking.

If you go to /system/data/apps all installed apps go in there, as far as i know. Is this what your trying to get? That way you can skip the backup and save any space that it takes up.

Or, you could use Quixer to send it straight over to the other device, no matter the distance. I like the Bluetooth idea as well though, that would be the easiest for single, close range sharing.

You should be rooted in order to access internal memory from your phone. Or use adb to pull the apk.
There's also lucky patcher but shouldn't share it in xda.

Found Quixar, but sadly its not compatible with the Nexus 7.
Could use the old method to get it working.

Where do I find Quixer? Nothing in PlayStore, or even a Google search.

Download and install "Root Explorer" from the market. It defaults to the root directory. Just open up the app, find /data in the root directory, click on it, and then click /app. All your user downloaded and installed apps are there.

well that's weird.. only 120 MB? but, ok. You can try to pass the apps that are in the Phone to the SD card or to uninstall all the updates from the apps that come with his phone.

Hi. I can't play any game with obb.Because I don't have much memory in the phone. I have memory card but I can't load game in memory card.
Please help me.
Sorry my bad english.
Right...
You mean like Gameloft games with obb data?
Use something like link2sd or foldermount.
But I guess you can't install 1 GB+ games, because our phone/internal memory is too small for this.
Hope I helped and have a nice day!

Then you haven't bothered reading on how to use link2sd properly. You haven't partitionned your sdcard by the sounds of it.
Don't ask here how to do it either, just search the forum and you'll find the answer.
I just ask if there is another way for apk-obb.
I'm gonna to search it.

That's good to see you'll be searching from now on. I'm not being arrogant or ignorant pointing you in this direction, you'll find so much info and stumble on other interesting things in the process.
Remember, users come here to learn, not to be taught.
Obviously sometimes we do have to pose questions - but in the majority of cases, like yours, these questions have already been answered 1000 times.
Have fun

Yep, and a friend of mine.
For Foldermount you will need root, but I assume that's no problem?

Yeah @NDSCars5,
I hardbricked my E doing the vold swap trick, a few others here have too - some without even wiping internal (so I'm led to believe).
Best way is to do as @MatsPunt does - partition your sdcard and use Link2SD.
Hope you enjoy your shiney new SD
I found new program.
It is 'Directory Bind' You can find it in xda .
It is very simple and easy to use.
I fix my problem with this app.
Thanks for comments
Does anyone still have this problem?
Oh, yeah. DirectoryBind is also an option... Forgot about that one

I tried it . But I've used Xperia J . Its memory isn't much. It has only 2 gb memory and I can use 1 gb other 1 gb is used for system.
The best solution is directory binder.
It is wonderful app.
I think it is the best choice .
My NP is fully stock not rooted. I have a 64gb SD Card installed. I am able to copy files to it and some programs will use it to store data. The problem is when I try to change my email attachment download directory to the external SD card I get "This folder doesn't allow the creation of new files."
Is there any way to fix this?

Use the free SD fox app on the play store which you must be rooted to use. This is a known problem. Think I've read the update foxes it though.

No root == no go. It's a known KitKat issue, that can only be fixed if you're rooted.

BTW, I didn't do the latest update (I'm rooted, and it didn't seem worthwhile to have to re-root). Maybe the update fixed this problem, but not completely? Just speculating.
SDfix from Play Store fixed it for me (root required).

Apps can only write to their private directories on the SD card. Or you used a system app.
