I tried link2sd but I get this notice

App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to your SD card.

What can I do?

Thanks

if u have flashed the above file...then ur external storage is swapped to the internal sd. so now install all app or games u want. they will get installed in external sd.

there is no need for link2sd ...:)
Ok so for now there is no way to move previously installed apps to sd card?

Use Gl to sd application.. It has a great developer support... This external to internal application last updated on Nov 2012.so there are so many bugs like duplications of files... Obviously applications install in phone memory only data files will move to the sd card. If you want to move only applications. Use link 2 sd... But data files cannot be moved using link 2 sd application..

I tried GL to sd before and since it is for Gameloft games(hence the GL name) and I don't have gameloft games installed it showed a blank screen on startup in addition to the "mount" and "unmount" buttons.

Reinstall the application again and try... Email to the developer he will surely help u... He helped me a lot. It's not only for gameloft.. All games and large data applications supported... I have installed 75 applications among these 21 are hd games... I purchased the pro version of Gl to sd applications so it will automatically mount at boot. Check screenshots..

:good: Your answer has the price of gold!!!! That's exactly what I wanted - to move the application data.
The cyanogenmod I installed yesterday has driven me crazy! In the LG's original rom I used automatic script with `mount --bind` command, it worked perfectly, in cyanogenmod it has very a strange behavior. Although I could see in `df` it was bound and could see the files from external storage at that location, but the applications still wrote to the internal storage somehow transparently in the background. Don't ask me why and how it was possible, but it made me angry. Now I'm keeping the cyanogenmod in my phone. :)

Yes I have tried to reinstall today and still shows blank list of applications. meantime using ext2 int, my sd card which is now the internal storage has been reduced from 14gb to 11 gb so far --- evidence that my installed applications have installed on the sd card and not on internal memory of the phone(which is now the external).
I am happy with it so far.

As for gaming I use my galaxy note for that. Also the note has "move to sd" natively.

yea but then the game doesnt start can yu tell me detailed procedure for doing this

Game doesn't start means.. Check the game properly mounted... There is an option about mounted games in gl to sd apps... Check all your game data in obb or data folder..

So for running a game that has been moved through gl to SD, I have to mount it first through gl to SD and only after that game will run otherwise it will crash. Am I understanding you correctly?
