Hi guys, Ive been trying to intall gta san andreas on my lg optimus f3 but my internal memory is only 2gb. It doesnt have a second internal sd like galaxy phones do, but i do have an 32gb eternal sd. I just want to be able to install apps directly to external sd. I cant install to internal then transfer to ext because it wont fit in the internal in the first place. Link2sd failed, Directory bind failed. Please help me solve this problem.

have you tried swapping internal sd card and external sd card ! (though its risky)
i dont think there is any way to directly instill app data in external sd card

Hello everyone...
this is my first post on xda since i couldnt find any solution if i'm at fault kindly bear with me
1. i flashed my gt i9003 with miui v10.4 a week ago and everything was going fine
2. but today i suddenly got a notification that my storage was full
3. when i checked i noticed that the apps i installed were on internal sd card which is just 2gb(1.7gb usable)
4. i tried moving some apps which were installed on phone memory only to see them move to internal sd card.
5. i have a 32 gb external sd card which is visible in file explorer and i can browse the files but the apps when moved from phone memory doesnt move to external sd card.
6. kindly help me out with the above issue where i can move the apps i installed on phone memory to external sd card so that i can use it for installing games and not limit its usage to just songs and videos.
7. thank you
As much as i have used miui-gb i think external sd sometimes stay as external_sd folder only...try to format or reflash the rom.
As phone is having 1.85 gb of internal memory why dont u use it until it doesnt get full ???
U can use sd swap which will interchange internal and external sd.

I own a Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013, it is rooted but I still use the stock ROM. I've been doing some tests to see if Link2SD would solve my storage problem. During these tests I noticed that all the big games I linked to the 2 partition of my SD card aren't really linked, as they still are inside the internal storage!!! After that I also noticed in the storage info that I have an external SD card, a SD card second partition and a SD card strangely similar in size to my internal storage!!!! (image attached to help undestand) Can someone explain this to me and possibly give me a solution!!!
No Problem with LINK2SD!!!

I'm using LINK2SD and I don't have any problems.
In fact I have close to 370+ apps (user) and except ENCRYPTED apps (~8) all are in EXT SDCARD 2nd partition.
It is TRUE whenever I'm flashing a NEW ROM - I don't see all those 360+ apps because 2nd partition is not mounted yet (because of new flash).
When I click LINK2SD it again re-creates mount scripts and I have all the apps again.
So far so good.
What I'm saying is that whenever I move a big game like Real Racing 3, Link2SD only moves a couple of MB's that are in the internal memory to the SD card's 2 partition, the 1GB of game data stays in the internal SD card!!! My space problem is a result of many games in my note, so I need to move the game data to the SD card!!
I'm a new Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 owner and need a few pointers on using link2sd. I installed it and understand that since our tablets don't support Apps2Sd natively that we have to move the relevant files to their respective locations onto the 2nd(exFat) partition of the SD card. I understand this however I am not sure how to do it since the tablet can't see this second partition(at least mine can't). If I go to Settings->Storage I can only see my main 16GB internal storage and the 1st(Fat32) partition on the sdcard. No other file managers allow me to see this 2nd partition on the sdcard either. With that in mind, how do I access this 2nd partition to move the linked files to the sdcard?
Dudes, you need to understand, that Link2SD and app2sd DON'T move the big app (game) data from the /mnt/sdcard0/Android folder to your external SD. It only moves the app itself. It was always this case, so I'm wondering about the hype unless you don't have a small app partition.
You have to use Directory Bind or FolderMount for moving big files to external SD. Or simply swap external SD with internal storage.

Hi, you can make an ext partition in your external sd card, mount it by apps like link2sd or move2sd and moving application on it.

Hello guys, i have a big problem. My internal storage got bugged up when i was switching space of my sdcard to be used as internal storage. I can install apps and stuff but when i want to flash a rom from sd card he doesn't want to read the sd card. I tried hard reset and everything else but it didn't work.

HI to all...
I ve made a lot of search but no luck!The phonepad saves and moves all apps to a path /storage/emulated/legacy and i discover it with Link2SD and my sd card is empty.
When i use the app manager to move the apps into sd card it seems that they are already in sd...It created an sd on internal storage and use it like an external sd card...How can i fix it?I m getting mad with it!!!
