Change Default SD/Data Directory? - General Questions and Answers

I have an application that uses a lot of data storage. However, my internal storage (sdcard0) is internal, and is only 1.4 GB. The data is almost 4 GB. The app looks by default in /sdcard0/Android/data. How can I change this to /sdcard1/Android/data?

May be it work
1- root
2-install link2sd pro version
3- install apk u want to change file directory
4-open link2sd pro, link apk file directery by long pressing and selecting link data directory
5- then u will see andriod ,data folder in sd card and add obb folder and files

[GUIDE] Titanium Backup Move app data 2 sd

Hi guys,
Titanium backup is a great root tool. Apart from creating and restoring backups Titanium Backup can also move app data to sd.
[ ROOT REQUIRED ]
I tried it and faced a few problems.
"NO DATA 2 SD DIRECTORY DETECTED"
After searching for answers and not getting any i decided to create a answer my self.
So this is a step by step method to move app data to sd using Titanium Backup
(BASICALLY FOR NOOBS BUT OTHERS CAN PARTICIPATE TOO)..
1. Root your device following the tutorial for your device
2. Create 2 Ext Partition (if you have already done so please move to no. 3)
a. switch of your device and take out your sd card.
b. use a card reader to plug it in your pc ( DO NOT USE YOUR DEVICE TO ACCESS THE CARD)
c. download Mini Tool Partition Wizard
d. create to ext 2 or 3 or 4 partition..Make sure the partition are primary and not logical and the partition size b/w 1GB to 2GB
e. After partitioning insert your card in the device and reboot the device.
3. Download Titanium Backup
4. Open Titanium Backup and open the Backup and Restore Tab.
5. select a SINGLE APP and long press.
6. Select "move app data to sd". A popup will open asking to create a data 2 sd directory.
7. Select Yes.
8. Batch select all apps and move app data to sd.
9. Viola see how your internal memory jumps up..
10. Have fun :good:
PS- If anybody finds any error in the guide then please tell me.
PS- Moderators if you find this post has been discussed earlier then please close this thread.
And REMEMBER TO SAY THANKS..
hey
can't seem to find "move app data to sd" after the long press on an app.
I only get an option of "move to sd card"
im using link2sd as well. if that makes any difference!

I don't use link2sd..I use a2sdgui..but with whatever knowledge I have I don't think that should affect titanium backup..try reinstalling titanium backup and wiping dalvik cache...
I will try to find an answer as soon a possible..:thumbup:
Try long pressing on a user app like a game or something..

hey mate
sorted it out..
the answer was actually in the titanium backup website in the faq page !
for any1 with the same prob(for CM& based roms):
had to create a folder called "app" in the sd-ext partition
then relaunch titanium backup and then u see the sd-ext part in the home screen of titanium.
in backup/restore long click, as nilot said, long press on an app, now theres an option to move app data to sd !
select and it asks you if you want to create a /data2 folder ! do that, and thats it!
thanks for the help nilot!
S2e works well too

The pro version just unlocks additional functionality in the free version. You have to install the free version as well as the pro version.
EDIT: Anyway, I also can't find the option to move app data to SD. I guess I'd need to create the "apps" folder on my sd-ext partition (although my SD card's 2nd partition is FAT32, would that stop it working?). This would be great if I could figure out how to do it though.

I think you're right, I am using FAT32 because I use Link2SD on stock ROM, and my stock ROM doesn't support ext partitions. It'd be a bit much hassle for me to change things just for this, I'll leave it as it is for now.

i think 2nd partition needs to be ext3 or ext4. theres a guide in this forum how to do that. you need a pc with an sd card reader tho.
after that just follow the steps on this thread
How to add the APP folder
Ok ,, this sounds so noobish, but how can I add the folder 'app' to my 2nd partition of my SD card (which is formatted to EXT4) ...
Can't read the EXT4 folder on the SD card when plugged into the PC, and I've tried using a browser on the phone, but can't see the option where to view the EXT4 partition either ?!
EDIT: Nevermind, changed to a different ROM and S2EXT works fine now
I used NextApp's FX program with the Root Module installed (I'm sure Root Explorer would also work). I then used the "Filesystem Manager" tool and navigated all the way to the bottom looking for "Other Filesystems". I found one named "/data/sdext2" which appears to be my ext2 partition.
I think this may be my problem because I still cannot see the external partition even after adding the "app" folder. I did some digging in TB's FAQ and found the mentioned requirements for Data2SD:
http://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb/titanium-backup-technical-faq.html#requirements-for-using-move-app-data-to-sd
20. What are the requirements for using the “Move app data to SD card” (Data2SD) feature?
Our Apps2SD scheme creates symbolic links (one per app) at /data/data/com.x.y that will point to somewhere within an ext2/3/4 partition on the SD card.
The supported mount points for the ext2/3/4 partition are:
/system/sd/ (“classic” sd-ext)
/sd-ext/ (“Cyanogen” sd-ext)
/data/sd/ (“MIUI” sd-ext)
So for Data2SD to work, you’ll need to ensure that your ext2/3/4 partition is mounted at one of these locations. Then create an “app” directory at that location in case it doesn’t exist. Once it’s done, you’ll see a free space gauge for it in the Titanium Backup welcome screen, and you can then long-click on an app in the list and hit the “Move app data to SD” button. Once you do that:
First, Titanium Backup will look for existing symbolic links in /data/data/ and attempt to re-use the same target location, if it lies within the ext2/3/4 partition.
If it finds no existing (or no suitable) destination, it will propose to create a “data2″ folder within the ext2/3/4 partition, and will then move the app’s data inside it.
So by default, you’ll get: /data/data/com.x.y => /system/sd/data2/com.x.y (in the “classic” sd-ext case).

I'm guessing that because my partition appears to be mounted at "/data/sdext2" instead of "/data/sd", that this is why TB cannot see it. However, as far as I'm aware, this was created by Link2SD without any intervention on my part. Does anyone know how I might be able to go about changing this? Or could I somehow put in a link to it elsewhere?
Thanks for any help that you can provide!

It seems I have the same problem. I tried to rename the directory using Root Browser Lite (the only free root file manager I was able to find) from "/data/sdext2" to "/data/sd" but the operation failed (I'm not sure but probably the first time I partitioned my SD I called the Ext2 partition labelling it sdext2).
Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me with this issue!

Did you try rebooting the phone or recreating the links after you renamed it?
I've emailed both the developer of Link2SD and support for Titanium Backup. I haven't heard back from anyone at Titanium Backup yet, but the developer of Link2SD was rather informative. He said that the main reason this isn't yet supported is because app private data must maintain the ownership data from the app that it goes to because of the way that Android sandboxes apps. This isn't possible on FAT/FAT32 partitions. Only ext2/3/4 supports it. This is probably why it only works for these filesystems with Titanium Backup.

I created a primary ext3 partition that is 1.2GB. I do not have the option to move app to sd or move app data to sd, any idea why?
Edit: I can't locate the ext3 partition via root explorer...does gingerbread not support apps2sd? or is my issue due to the fact that this is a stock GB ROM?

What is Hybrid2SD

Ok so I installed hercolubus ROM and after doing that i read him instructing how to enable Hybrid2SD...while on kyrillos also i read about the same but didn't care much but now i really wanna kno what it is..
M srry for asking such noob question but i tried searching everywhere...

In G3Mod they talk about data2sd...is it same?
When I go to CWM it already shows the option to partiiton the SD card...so y do H2SD?
at least tell me if should I do it if I have a class 4 sdcard?
coz for data2sd it was written u should have class 6....

Actually I'm using a class 2 SD card but my phone is just as fast with Hybrid data2sd on and with it off. To answer OP's question Hybrid data2sd is a way for you to get more space for apps I'm not sure how it works but it just does. To enable just make a partition using CWM and to check if it's working use Titanium backup it'll tell you how much free space you have.

I will try to explain in simple lang....
On android OS, users applications and data is stored in /data folder (partition) in internal memory. Since g3 have less memory, it has restrictions on how many apps you can install and blah blah...
So out greate developers do a trick to increase internal memory.
When we have partitioned SD card, there in new partition, they create a similar folder stucture of /data. and link internal memorys /data to point to sd card data folder. This link is similar to a shortcut. Android OS thinks that the /data folder is there in internal memory and it reads and writes to it but actually that data goes to sd-ext partition and thus the size of internal memory dose not increases as you install apps. This is Data2SD
/data has many folder...majorly for app (/data/app) and for dalvic cache (/data/data). If you are not mounting entire /data to sd-ext, but selectively mapping each folder you want to sd-ext, then this is called HybridData2SD. For ex, I prefer app dir (/data/app) to be mounted on sd-ext but not the cache (/data/data). Cache should be on phone as its accessed so much and makes my phone lag If i put it on sd-ext.
hope this clears the concept.

Sure.
If you are on G3mod, things are made very simple using kmapp. Search XDA about it. its a application which will do it for you.
For fugumod, its quiet difficult....(you may need to create some files on sd card ot edit script in init.d)
Otherwises, use Link2SD application. its free, availabel on market. It will do task even on granular level - on each app level. You can select app and choose option 'create link', it will give you option to link app, cache, lib files. select app only. that's it. its my favorite currently.

Data2sd = Entire /data folder mapped to sd-ext. so every app you install, its apk will definitely go to sd-ext. Also /data/data folder (that is where user data is stored) and also davlic cache folder is automatilly mapped to sd-ext.
link2sd = Manually select which app's apk file ( and dex, lib also) to go to sd-ext. You have more control here, not every app goes to sd-ext.

data2sd will create shortcut to all..everything inside /data folder
for e.g. /data/app, /data/cache, /data/lib, etc
hybrid2sd is selecting what part of the app will reside in sdcard for e.g. /data/app (u don't want /data/lib and /data/cache,etc )
link2sd...is first of all an app...in this you can select a single app and then decide which folder will reside in sdcard for e.g. /data/app (u don't want /data/lib and /data/cache,etc )
basically link2sd is similar to hybrid2sd but its an app
Its all written up there

[MICROMAX A110] Alternative solutions to swapping

Hi all,
I found that some of the Micromax a110 {on stock v1 and cynus T2} users are wondering whether they should swap internal/external sd card as their internal sd card is full with awesome GAMES data.
Here i will provide three ways to give Micromax a110 more space for gaming. Strictly for root users only.
1.Internal/External swapping
This mod will swap ur internal sd with external sd. Before swapping, backup the data on both sd cards to ur pc and manually "swap" the data from each other.
Then download and extract the vold.fstab and replace the one under /system/etc by using root explorer. Then reboot and enjoy.
d-h.st/LFT
2.Mounting script
If u want to store and run game data from external sd without swapping. Mounting script is a good solution to it.
This script will mount the game data path to your external sd. In other word, it tricked ur device for redirecting the games to load data from external sd instead of internal sd.
What u need are•Script Manager - download from market for free [https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...1hbmFnZXIiXQ..
•mounting script
Create a new script file in Script manager and type the following:
(I used the Android folder as example)
Code:
mount -o bind sdcard/external_sd/Android sdcard/Android
This is for gameloft
Code:
mount -o bind sdcard/external_sd/gameloft sdcard/gameloft
After creating these, u need to cut the files in Android or gameloft from internal sdcard and paste them to the new location on external sd. Leave the original folders empty.
Remember to set them "boot" and "su" and SAVE in script manager. Reboot.
Alternatively, u can use the one I provided or create it by ur own. Extract the MOUNT external.zip and put it into ur sd card. Open it in script manager and select "boot" and "su" then save. Reboot.
If ur ROM is init.d autorun supported, just simply put the mounting script into the /system/etc/init.d folder.
3. Directory Bind tool
This is an apk created by one of our forum members, slig. This is based on the the same mounting script method. U can use it for simplicity. All credits go to the creator.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...05&postcount=1
4.GL to SD
This apps created by tnslf2k is similar to the script I made and it is user-friendly. U can download it from https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...lzdGdsQXBwIl0.
For more details, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...53&postcount=1
That's all. Choose a way and play ur games

Hey i just found the fix!
If you use Root Explorer, go to /system/app
You can see some memory info there just beside the "Mount r/w" button. Make sure the free space is more than what you are copying. Mine is 5 MB free, that causes a 6 MB file not to get copied. See if that helps. Free memory by deleting unused apps in the /app folder.

Link2SD is useful for user apps. It cannot increase /system partition memory. Only way i know is to remove unused system apps. You can ask the developers for additional help.

Xperia E3 Memory Increase

Hey guys, i ve found a way to increase the internal memory in our xperia e3. It is not a memory swapper but it connects the external sd to the internal memory like and extension so your external sd card is used as the internal memory when more memory is needed.
What you will be able to do with this
-Download huge games directly from playstore
-Never have to worry about memory again.
What you need
-Root access
-External Sd card with good read write speed
-obb on sd Xposed Module
-Root browser and scripter. I recommend that you download Rom Toolbox app from the playstore because it has these two
How to apply
I ve attached two files in the files.zip for you two download.
-Extract the files to either your internal or your external memory card.
-After extraction, you will see two files, debugered.mnt and mount.sh
-Move debuggered.mnt to system/bin and set the correct permissions ( set the same permissions as other files in system/bin)
-Open up Scripter and import mount.sh.
-Use Scripter to run Mount.sh and you're done.
-Install the obb on sd xposed module and then you can play games
To remove this, just reboot and it will be gone. If you want it to remain there permanently, use the Scripter app and set the mount.sh script to always run at boot
Bugs
-Playstore Force closes if the game you are downloading is bigger than 1.6gb (To fix this, clear playstore data and restart the app)
-You cant view your screenshots in album app but you can still share them in whatsapp
I will find a fix for these bugs soon. meanwhile enjoy your memory.

Sorry, but I think that this mod is not functional! Play store still write error about insufficient internal storage space. Phone is rooted, everything was done as you wrote. What's wrong?

It's strange, don't know what I did wrong In phone is 16GB card. 14 GB is free. ES explorer says, 14 GB free on internal storage and same on SD card. If I don't run mount.SH script, it says 200 MB on internal storage and 14GB on SD. So, it looks good, but play store still says error Must have SD some special file system or so?

Thanks for the tip. Yes, using obb on sd, because it is in instruction in OP. Tried all you wrote, but no success. Here is photo of ES Explorer - I think, it looks good but can't install nothing, because internal storage has insufficient disk space (play store saying)

Hello, I have executed your guide perfectly, but if I try to download dungeon hunter 5 tells me that memory is not enough, I also installed Link2SD to connect the app to a partition ext 4 this can create conflict?
