Use App2SD
Use AppMgr III previously known as App2SD, search Google Play for it. Pretty cool app.
Other option is, partition your SD Card and install app there using Link2SD as App2SD won't move all the apps and their data to memory card. However, formatting SD Card and using Link2SD to install all apps to the newly-partitioned SD card is a different story altogether.

So, we need to root first?

dont work

Re
nop nop work "AppMgr III (not pro)"
I'm going to try of partition as you say the "SD Card". Then, it can be simple with an app as "gl to sd" ... to mount partition/s of the inserted sd.
But before, since is the well-read one of @kakolin (in.htcmania) I will try with "Directory Bind" (com.vanpit.android.directorybind id in store). Probably it isn't necessary to make partition.

[Q] link2sd problem!

The internal storage in my xperia l is nearly full.
And I want to use link2sd to increase the memory.
But whatever I partition the sd card to ext2,3 or Fat32 it would cause the boot loop until I remove the sd card:crying::crying:
Does anyone have the solution?
The sd card is Kingston 32GB C10.
Thanks for your answers!

You can use FolderMount app from market to move the biggest files in sd-card,like gameloft game data.I got 6gb of game data in sd-card and im playing games without problem(and my internal is on 30%).

Why don't you check my thread . it'll help you will all your memory problems.
if you still have any query, do ask me.
Link2sd isn't a very good way of linking memory.
You can use titanium backup to move apps in sdcard by force.

you can use script to move app to sd card...it is easier and not using much ram and you don't need to partition sd card to use it

I tried to use FoulderMount to move apps to sd card.
But it could only move application data, not all of it.
And I couldn't find "how to use titanium backup to move apps " in your thread.
Thanks for answering.

Yes, folder mount is made to transfer data especially for games which have game data in Gbs or Mbs. So if your game application is 24mb and game data of 2gb, you can move only 2gb data but not 24mb with folder mount.
You can check app2sd which moves app to SD card if application supports.Check it at Google play.
Titanium backup requires root(hack) to work. If your phone's rooted, you can transfer app to SD regardless if it is supported by application or not.

I use this on my xperia l (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368262) it uses script and only run on startup...it is better than link 2 sd becouse link 2 sd run all the time and uses more ram and you will encounter lag in big games such as modern combat 4 and gangstar vegas...the script mount your sd card as internal memory and internal memory as sd card and it is also woking on latest xperia l firmware (android 4.2.2)

[Q] Cannot install game due to lack of memory.

I have an LG Optimus F3 (Virgin Mobile) and it has a 4GB internal memory. Of that, only 1.23 GB is free for installing apps and roms. The game I want to download and run is Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour which is almost 2GB.
1.) I have my device rooted
2.) I have Link2SD installed
3.) I have a 32GB MicroSD card installed. 21GB is parititioned in FAT32, while the remaining space left is in EXT2.
4.) The install location in Link2SD is set to External
I am still getting "Insufficent space" errors whenever I try to download this game from the marketplace. I thought Link2SD was supposed to fix this. I know I am doing something wrong, but I cannot figure it out. Please help. I am at my wits end.

I suggest that you uninstall apps that you don't need/use and/or remove bloatwares.
Since you're rooted, I Recommend to integrate the updates of your system apps to your Rom.
You're baffled. Android phone has four parts of where the data goes. System Rom, Internal, Internal Sdcard(SDcard0), External Sdcard(SDcard1).
The 2GB game you want to download is going to use your configured Sdcard0 and your internal memory which needs to have 2GB Free of memory or more in total. As far as I see your Internal Sdcard is set as your Sdcard0 whilst your Micro Sdcard is set as your Sdcard1. In that case Link2SD Won't help you, since apps use Sdcard0 to store it's data NOT Sdcard1. Meaning Link2Sd will just move the data of your Game to your internal sdcard(Sdcard0). To solve this you need to SWAP your Internal Sdcard and Micro Sdcard. Means from "Internal SdCard(SdCard0) : Micro SdCard(SdCard1) TO Internal SdCard(SdCard1) : Micro SdCard(SdCard1)".So Link2SD can move the data of the Game you want to download to your Micro Sdcard(Sdcard0) via Edting vold.fstab at System/etc/vold.fstab.

I have the same probleme, I want to play The Wolf Among Us but the whole game takes more than 1.5 Go :-/
I'm sorry but I can't help you ^^'
so if someone find a solution, tell it !

Seems like nohow. LOL. It appears by now that switching memory is NOT an option, so all those, suffering, use FOLDERMOUNT app!

as much as i know this can be done using text editor to edit System/etc/vold.fstab
but i don,t know how.

Perhaps we can unmount the internal SD, so that Android only sees the external SD and uses it for all.
The internal SD could be used to extend system memory or as temporary space, swap partition?
I don't know good about Linux. So perhaps it's not possible.

Sony claims that they unified the data partition (where all apps are stored) with the user partition. So I don't know if it is THAT easy to unmount the internal storage. One trick, though, that is around for a bit of time is to swap the mount destination in /system/etc/vold.fstab.

vold.fstab is easy to use for exchange memorys on some older version of android but in kitkat i can,t understand code.

Use GL to SD, it allows you to move obb on SD card

I am taking about playstore download. How can you download games like asphalt 8,mc5 on your device. Without downloading it is not possible to move them to sdcard1 downloading through other websites can cause problems. And we can,t get updates.
Gl to Sd only moves downloaded obb,s it won,t allow play store to download obb to sd1

playstore problem is not fixed but i wanna tell you don,t waste your time on app,s that have to mount data like gl to sd or foldermount do
use obb to sd xposed module you just have to copy obb to external sd apps can dettect it. you can have obb in internal or exernal just by copying no need to mount.
and i am still waiting for a solution of playstore if anyone know how to make xposed mdules please make a module to force playstore to detect external sd card free space and download additional obb files to external sd.

You should see this link http://rootmyandroid.org/increase-internal-memory-phone.html

This works for me, still like a charm

it's very easy
You can do it by obb on sd ( xposed. Module)

How to make my SD Card my default install location ?

Hello,
I have SanDisk 8GB microsd card Class 2. My phone is Samsung Galaxy Core 2 (SM-G355).
My phone total storage is 4gb out of which 1.82 gb is used for phone and others for apps and my own files.
Currently my microsd is only 8gb drive in my phone ( only 1 partition now )
I want to install asphalt 8, modern combat 5, gta sa ( total about 4 or 5 GB). My sd card have 8 gb space so i want to install my apps in my sd card and not in my little phone memory. I am unable to do it myself and it is no use of sd card with 7.4 GB free of my sd card, i want it for apps.
I do not have a sd card reader for my pc so is there anyway i can do it via phone using twrp or cwm or link2d (free) ?
I have put some pics which tell about my phone and sd card in attachment (please see)
Thanks,
Pr0Ankit

The best way is to do it in phone app manager.
You can move apps from downloaded section not allready on your SDCard ( internal ) to external (extSDCard).
Click on the app and use the enabled Move to the SdCard option button.
The second way is to use ADB shell command adb shell pm set-install-location 2.
Code:
pm get-install-location: returns the current install location.
0 [auto]: Let system decide the best location
1 [internal]: Install on internal device storage
2 [external]: Install on external media
pm set-install-location: changes the default install location.
NOTE: this is only intended for debugging; using this can cause
applications to break and other undersireable behavior.
0 [auto]: Let system decide the best location
1 [internal]: Install on internal device storage
2 [external]: Install on external media

Thank you Stratos for you help but actually when i move app from appmanager it moves only 36 mb out of 1.5 GB and the remaining 1 gb obb files are on my internal memory. I do not want to move them, I want to directly install them ONLY on sdcard and the google play / google chrome should not download anything to internal memory. I want my external sdcard to act as my internal memory. Is there any way I can fool my phone ?

Try second options, If U don't know how to do it right, just ask or search xda/google.
Or swap internal with external :

Hi Again,
Thanks for your help. The second option which you provided worked for me to move my apps to sd card and play games but in that case i have to install my apps first in internal memory and then move it to external sd card using GL To SD and i have to mount it everytime i restart phone. I can play games now and install more apps but is there anyway i can install directly say 3gb or 4gb on external without moving ?
Thanks,

Uninstall games.
Use adb/terminal emulator :
pm set-install-location 2
All the instalation will be made from now on external card. Default is 0 (auto)
install game.
As told u can always swap location with @Y300-0100 init.d script if U want from previous post.

The set location does not works. Even when i do it using adb tool and it shows my current install location as external when i install N.O.V.A.3 it says insufficient storage space available ?
:/
Please help me. I do not want to go in much detail about swapping memories cuz it might result in corrupting my sd card/ phone memory or I would end up bricking / bootlooping my phone. Furthermore the link you gave me says that I need a kernel with init.d support . I dont know if i have the kernel with init.d support or not. And I installed Busybox from google play store and not from a script. Will it work ?
Thanks.
