I have Samsung Ace 3 S7275R mobile and want the phone to switch writing to the external SD card and not the Internal memory. Even better if is possible to make phone to install apps and write files to the external SD card automatically when the Internal memory runs out. How should i succeed this?
 
By rewriting the ROM, there's no available function to do it for you. Some apps let you choose where to save their data, others don't. And most apps can't run from external storage - they have to be written do that they can and most aren't. You'd have to write a ROM that would barely be Android to do what you want.
 
Its something ive never done but if rooted have a look at the app Link2SD :thumbup:

I used the Link2SD route on my Nexus One - it's great when it works, but can cause some serious issues if it ever breaks (which, in my experience, was fairly often). If you want to go that route, you'll need to make sure you're comfortable with executing various ln commands via adb shell first ;)
