​Link2SD is an application manager for android device that enables you to move apps to the SD card. Thus you can manage your apps and storage without any hassle. The app takes a secondary partition on your SD card and uses it as another segment of internal storage. Link2SD moves apk, dalvik-cache (.dex), lib and internal data files into the partition, which the OS mounts on boot, and creates a symbolic link in the original location. Thus retaining the file structure that the system expects but with the bulk of the data moved to the SD card.


Linking obb and external data folders of apps and games with Link2SD can be pretty much easy. If your device have an emulated SD card, obb and external data folders are located in the internal storage, not in the external SD card. Link2SD moves these folders to the 1st or the 2nd partition of your external SD card (depending on your selection) and with the bind option of the mount command remounts the file hierarchy at external SD card while it is still available at the original location.

Features Of Link2SD Plus

Anything that you can interact with on the screen will have a small "number" next to it and speaking out that number will open the task. Alternatively, you can use natural speech commands.


For example "Open YouTube" etc. They all work like magic. Note If a command is not recognised, you'll get an error. There are a lot more commands that the app brings. For a complete list, say “show commands“ or simply open the "show all commands option" from Voice access settings to view the entire list.
