download mounts2sd app from appstore. its free.

i am using it and it works perfectly.

all my applications and application data is now in 64gb card and leaves me with lots of space in internal memory.

application data in sdcard makes phone a lil bit slow though.

If you could please help me...

Searching for 10 days..

My phone is rooted,s on, insertcoin custom rom, I can move manually apps+ data (using es explorer) to sd But the link isn't done between the app and the data, I mean the app doesn't work and always want to download data again..

I tried mounts2sd but it doesn't find sd_ext and so doesn't make the job...

ok. no worries mate.

following is the way i did and proved to be working.

1. format your sd card
2. create a fat32 partition. it has to be primary partition.
3. create a ext4 partition. it has to be primary partition.
4. create a linux swap partition. it has to be primary partition.
5. better to start with a fresh rom installation. you can try with already installed rom.
6. install mounts2sd.
7. start mount2sd and go to application settings and install script.
8. in settings select the folder you want to move.
9. enable swap.
10. restart the phone - without restarting script won't take effect.

DONE!!!!

Oh god I need to return to high tech school!

Format Linux, format fat 32 partitions....
Which app to format all this?

My sd card is 32 go how many go must be designed to each partition?

I have max 10 go of medias and 15 go of game and gps data and nandroid backups..

use minitool partition manager.

you will find fat32, ext4 and linus swap option in that.

in a 32gb card you will get 28-29 usable free disk space. if it was me i would have done 23gb media and 5-6 gb ext4 and 256mb of linux swap.

cheers

Hum, I suppose minitool partition manager is a Windows app and that the job will have to be done mostly on pc right?

I have found this link on Google is it what you're talking about : http://www.noypigeeks.com/android/tutorial-a-guide-to-link2sd/
Quite the same no?

Isn't it possible to make the partition job in twrp 2.7 ?

Ok first thing I backup my sd card on my computer :)

Ok, so I'll check this out.

Ahh, I see: It's mounting (Linux...) external SD permanently. Didn't think about these consequences! Thank you.

And so what are the bad consequences of mounted Linux?

Yesterday I formatted 3 partitions with his method on my external sd card, half of my apps had gone, the phone took 7 minutes to reboot...maybe I made a mistake I will try again today with a fresh Rom !

Why is it so complicated with this phone to put app+data together on sd card and make them work? ! ! !

I tried mounts2sd, followed all your instructions and partitioned my SD card as you suggested. I just can't get it to work. When I rebooted I was taken to the 'getting started' section (like a fresh install) but couldn't complete it... constant 'play services errors'. In the end I just reflashed ARHD without mounts2sd. Can you think of anything obviously wrong that I might be doing?

guys, here is the official xda link for mounts2sd.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432479

* i have found out that moving dalvik cache to sd causes play services and other errors. it might be a different issue as well but for now i am keeping dalvik in internal.

* if after a restart you get few services error then simply force restart the phone and things will become normal upon restart.

i am running mounts2sd with viperone. it should be compatible with other roms but i havent tested them.

cheers

I tried again to run mounts2sd, followed all instructions and encountered 'play services errors' again. I forced reboot a couple of times but still the same issues. Then I turned off, waited a few seconds, turned it back on (which took quite a while) and all is working fine.
I think you need to turn off after enabling the script rather than reboot.

Ok!

So just one simple question now:

Can you move a full app (ex game + data, ex dead trigger , 136 mo) to sd card and make it working ?

Because I can't. It is said : "link is created with sd card" but the app doesn't find its data if they aren't on tel storage anymore!

i believe it depends on the game/app itself.

i am running full data/app moved to sd card and working - fifa 2014 - 1.4 GB / need for speed / real racing more than 1 gb

Ok for the dalvik tip!

Last time it didn't work with real racing 3, I will try again tonight :banghead::mad::)

May I ask you the exact way or commands you execute to "move" all the app (for example rr3) ? In which order?

First you download the app and...?

    FolderMount also does a good job on solving this problem...

    And NextApp SDFix enables write compatibility on KK devices.

    Yes these apps are nice, I tried them but you still have some link limitations if you don't apply @dying4004 method..
