Can I download Bard's Tale? Wild Blood? How do I move apps to my SD card? I have seen this question several times, and all those times no one could give a clear answer. So I decided to post a thread on this. In this thread I will explain how to use two great apps capable of moving your apps and app data to your external SD card. Link2SD by Bulent Akpinar and Directory Bind by slig. Even though there are many other solutions, these two work the best and are very simple to use. With these apps you will be able to play games that you would have never been able to download in the first place. You will also be able to save almost all of your internal storage for emergencies such as forgetting your SD card at home.

Link2SD

Requires: 2 partitions on your SD card Use MiniTool Partition Wizard to create a 2nd partition on your sd card. Preferably ext 3 or ext 4.

This solution will only free up your internal storage by moving apps NOT their data to SD card. It is useful as many apps don't have any data, small games such as Angry Birds and Battleheart don't actually have data separate of their directory. Unlike large games like Real Racing.

Once you downloaded the app on your device the process is fairly easy.

1. Insert your SD card into the phone (properly partitioned as specified above)

2. Run the app and specify what partition you have created as your second partition

3. Once Link2SD checks and mounts your card reboot (this may take a while as the second partition will have to be mounted)

4. Now just go to the app and select several or one app that you would like to move to the SD card, press create link and that's it

Note:

Every time the SD card is removed from your phone you must restart the phone

When upgrading your ROM all apps will be saved but LInk2SD will have to be launched to restore the apps

Keep LInk2SD on your internal storage not SD card; you don't want to be stuck with out all of your apps for this mistake

Directory Bind

This solution will not actually move apps to external SD but only move their data (ex: data that is downloaded in big games like Real Racing and Modern Combat) Directory Bind will allow you to either move the data you already downloaded on your phone (which wouldn't be much as the phone only has 1.4 GB) or just download the data on the external SD by it self. If you are planning on using this solution with Link2SD make sure to leave a decent amount of space on your 1st partition as this will use the 1st partition of your SD card.

Organize your SD card:

1. Navigate to your external SD in Root Explorer

2. Create a folder called "Android"

3. In Android create "data"

4. This is where game data will be kept from now on

Using Directory Bind:

1. Open the app and press the settings key

2. Add a new entry

3. In "enter storage path" navigate to your newly created folder on the External SD

4. In "mount (target) path" select the data on your internal SD card (usually /sdcard/Android/data)

5. DON'T check transfer files

6. Click Add

7. Now again click the settings key and tap on Bind Checked

8. There you go now you can go into any big game and download the app data and it will be saved on your External SD

If you have already downloaded the game on your internal SD:

1. Create an identical empty folder (ex: com.rockstar.gta3ger) of the game you want to transfer in the data directory of External SD

2. Follow steps 1-4 but now navigate to the folder of the game you want to transfer

3.Check transfer files and click Add

4. Bind the files and now your game is on External SD

After a Reboot (Auto Binding doesn't seem to work for all apps):

1. Add a new entry

2. Select the games identical folder in both storage and mount paths

3. DON'T transfer data

4. Click Add

5. Bind checked

Note:

Games will run slower of your SD card

Every time you reboot your phone the process of binding will have to be repeated otherwise the game will ask to download data

I suggest unbinding directories when not in use as this will help save battery

Big thanks to the developers of both apps!
