How to install apps & move obb files to external SD card?

I have Samsung Galaxy S duos (Android 4.0.4) I want to install some BIG games ,but my internal SD card is too small and there is no enough space for the LARGE obb files. So, how can I install games to my external SD card such that ALL the game files ,including obb files, are stored in the external SD card?


I tried Folder mount but when I open it ,it just says "checking for root" and doesn't do anything
 
If you havent heard of "root" then you arent rooted mate, its something you have to do to a phone to get more control of it.
I dont know anything about your phone but moving apps to to SD card was removed from android in version 4.
Unless samsung made it possible on your phone, youll have to root it to be able to do things like that.
The best place to get info about this is the forum for your device.
Good luck :beer:
 
Yeah android 4 removed that functionality but i know samsung re-added it to some of their phones :thumbup:
 
Depends on the game you want, but often you don't need to do anything. When you click 'install' on Google Play, the game automatically realizes that it needs to store the files in the SD card. My Galaxy Tab 4 has just 4GB internal, but I've got a number of big games on it that automatically installed to SD card on download.
 
I have a Huawei h881c and I'm not really caring for it anymore, the ram space is really low, the internal memory is really low, good thing I have an SD card. The low ram space is making some apps always force close or tell you it is not responding, Facebook is the app that has this issue the most, it gets real laggy sometimes too. Can anyone give me advice on how to help the ram not get ate up? Or possibly making the phone able to have more ram space? Your help will be appreciated.

I'm also getting that frustrating message all the time, insufficient storage available, I have an 8gb SD card and have about 6 or 7 apps moved to the SD card but it doesn't help that much, any suggestions?

You need to root your phone to be able to maximize the use of the SD card. If you can't find how to root your phone on the internet, then the only fix would be to buy a better phone.
