Hello,
Guys as we all know XL internal and device memory isn't that large enough to store big games and larger app sizes...and whatever we receive via bluetooth or download goes into internal and eats up space i have tried gl2sd app and it works to transfer data of games to sd by duplicating folders but the associated files remain in internal memory and this app only works for new apps or selected apps only so guys do you have any idea about app that moves everthing to sd card? ( i really miss my gb days )
Please help suggestions are appreciated
Thanks in advance

Interesting people are using General for Question and answer.
Have you tried Link2SD?
This allows you to have new applications automatically installed on the TFcard.
It also allows you to manually move existing application data and libraries onto the TFcard too.
You do need to create a second partition on the TFcard and normally this is easy enough to do, but the XPERIA L is having a few TFcard problems and may not support a complex TFcard setup.
I normally create a 2GB partition for Link2SD to use, but many large game applications may require more..
The benefit Link2SD brings to the table is that the 2nd partition is still available to the system when you have your phone connected to a PC via USB.

I have created two partition on my sd card with Mini Tool. Fat32 and ext4. Both of them is primary. link2sd has root permission. But, link2sd does not found ext4 partition. What should I do?
Edit: Ok. Then I formatted sd card by phone. Because of this, link2sd haven't found it. I cannot use sd card If I do not format by phone. So, how can I create partition?
So guys sorry if I posted this in the wrong topic but I'm kinda new here so..
I got a tablet with specs;
OS: Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
Processor: ARM Cortex A9 Quadcore
RAM: 1GB DDRIII
Memory: 8GB(Expandable to 32GB)
and other unnecessary details like touchscreen etc.I copied the above details from the box.Although it says that it has an internal memory of 8GB, the tablet contains only an integrated SD of 5GB only.Also, there is a small cable which enables me to connect my flash drive to the tablet.
As the title says, I'm running low on memory.I got only 3 games.This is a tablet given by school so there are many apps like IProf by mythware and many more.So I'm here to ask if there is any way to move my games onto an external flash drive or extend the internal memory?
It's already rooted btw.
Hey there , I have a solution for your problem . Its good because you already root your phone . First . Install Link2sd from play store . Then you have to grant for superuser permission . Then you can simply tap on apps which you want to move to your external storage . This gonna force the app to move onto sdcard using Apps2SD method . You also can uninstall a bloatware ! . Here you can have more free space on your devices !
Press thanks if helped ! :thumbup:

But that app can move it to the external flash drive?
Btw I got a problem.I told you that there was an internal 5GB SD.When I pressed "move to SD card, the app moves to the internal rather than the external.
Also, in the link2SD, when I get into an app's details there is a line that says this:
Symbolic Link - Second partition not found -
Then beneath it:
Make sure you have two partitions on your SD card and both are primary.

Sorry but i forgot to mention you , you also need a partition on your sd card . Its mean that you have made a separated memory on your sdcard . How to do that ? Simple ! , Just google "HOW TO PARTITION SDCARD USING MINITOOL PARTITION WIZARD" or search on youtube for simple way , On XDA also got that tutorial . Enjoy

I executed your instructions from "HOW to root & install cwm recovery by androsamace" of the XDA post with success:

Then I tried to use the app "Link2SD" and got the error "Failure. App2SD is not supprted by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage."

Link2SD
32GB micro SD with partitions as: 1st Primary 25GB FAT32, 2nd Primary about 4GB, 3rd primary Linux swap 900MB
Strange thing is.... Link2SD of 18kb update to PRO results with the error "inefficient storage", but installing the APP clash of Clans, with a wopping 40+ MB is no problem??!!!
I can Link apps with Link2SD.
What can I do to solve this? I can not even install the Links2SD pro update from Google play store.
Many thanks

Anyone more ideas?
Solution I also tried: Install the app "App Cache cleaner 1 tap clean". But It didn't find any cache to clean.
I cleaned everything before, with Link2SD app already.
Funny to mention that this app can be installed too, and that only certain apps display the inefficient storage error....
Ayone more ideas? please!

First Thanks for the helping, but I still got the error "inefficient storage problem".
So I cannot install "Root External 2 Internal SD" to try swapping internal with external sotrage.
Any ideas how to solve this error?

what is the partition type for the second partition on your card link2sd will only work on ext2 ext3 or ext4
It's ext4 and in the app link2SD I chose ext4 also.
I am using frameroot version 1.9.3 btw...

I installed X-sam's Rom. And the error "no efficient storage problem" is no more. Before the app Link2SD plus update would give the error.
But after the ROM update the error is gone. =)
The link to X-sam's Rom's forum thread:

Going to give Root External 2 Internal SD now my problem is gone.. =)
I installed the APP Root External 2 Internal SD from Android play store.
The steps mentioned in :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-young/general/swap-internal-sd-card-external-sd-card-t2817853
At first I did not see a change like my internal memory being swapped with external,if I look into settings/storage.
My internal storage is still about 1GB free and my external is about 24GB.
I found out that I deleberately have to press the checkbox"At boot **" two times!, the box right of the button "External > internal".
The checkbox is default already checked, but is not active!!!!
Only after doing that, I saw in my Android phone settings/storage, that both internal and external are both about 24GB.
That indicates that my Micro SD is being used as internal storage. After another reboot my internal is 24GB and my external is about 1,2 GB. Everything is a-ok!
I tested it with large APP's like "Plants vs zombies 2" which is about 400MB big. The game could be played without problems!
Just AAAWWESome! :highfive: to you r2dak!
Internal storage is used even if the APP internal 2 external is running. Using Link2SD paid version to move extra Megabytes off my precious 1.5GB internal storage towards my Micro SD.
I installed a lot of APPS, and still got 1,1GB internal memory free ! :laugh:

Like some phone have an option to choose external or internal sd as default.
well i can use foldermount but it only mounts folder. what if you want to download a game which is 1.5 gb on play store and you have
1 gb free or maximum internal storage then you can never download that game form playstore. so can any one tell me how to exchange internal sd with external. i am using sony xperia e3 d2212 rooted and unlocked bootloader.

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.

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)
Hello,
I followed this thread to try and switch my SD card (32 gb) with my internal storage.
After doing what the above guide said, I managed to get from >>INTERNAL STORAGE being 3,98gb, APP storage being 4,15gb and SD card being 29,90gb<< to >>INTERNAL STORAGE being UNAVAILABLE, APP storage being 29,90gb and SD card being 4,15gb<<, whereas the poster of the guide got it so his SD card is now internal storage.
I have done some tinkering before trying out this method, I mainly used internal2external app i got on the play store, but with no success either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
try this instead.. its to another post of mine in another topic where they were binding the internal partition with data partition.. the method you linked to is swapping the internal partition with your external sd card.. the method i linked you to is better than binding or swapping since it just extends your internal partition to your external.. i have 10mb of used space on my internal partition and can install any and all apps i can find.. if you decide after getting it set up that you want to be even more extreme.. you can pair foldermount with link2sd and probably have less than a mb of used space lol.. good luck
Since the 2nd partition..

Thank you for this, I have tried it and, even though I do get the error that the 2nd partition can't be mounted (?) it still links the applications to SD. But, after I linked my apps to SD, I tried installing a big file (i had 3.03gb out of 3.98 free (INTERNAL), after installing i have 3.79gb out of 3.98gb), and I got the storage low again, I couldn't seem to move it to SD :/
After restarting the phone, i got the "Mount warning" again, and all my apps that I linked 2 SD are shown as grey icons saying SD which I presume means they cannot be launched as they aren't even installed. After uninstalling the app that filled up my internal storage, I restarted phone to find out all my linked apps were deleted, any idea what I did wrong?

I was have the same problem. There is only one way. Gain s-off with rumrunner. Look rumrunner thread and follow the instructions. Its really easy. After s-off you can do everything. You can delete google apps, link all apps to sd without any problem. I have installed many apps i still have 3.00 gb full of 3.85 gb. I created sd partition 2 gb and linked all apps there. Good luck

i use Rom Cleaner for the One X and it removes 95% bloatware(i had to add ~35 boost online apps to the list).. link2sd cant move everything and for that you can use FolderMount.. together these apps reduce internal used space to nearly nothing

I dont know moonshine. But before running rumrunner, disable your antivirus on PC. Than check your root is done. It want root access you have to allow it. Check your phone while rumrunner running
