hi everyone,
I have just bought my GS3 for a month
and I have installed lots of apps including
some goodies from GAMELOFT.
My internal storage is running out with those tonnes of games and apps.
To solve it, I try sth called app2sd but i found it wasnt working in GS3.
So i started to read more related articless..
then I found sth called GL to SD and Link2sd...
Then I root it and try both of the solutions.
Unfortunately, GL to SD isnt a good option as some of the games isnt working on it. (the data could be moved to the SD card but some of the games cant be mounted)
Then I tried link2sd. I have correctly partitioned my 32gb samsung micro SD
into a 15gb ext3 partition and mounted successfully in link2sd.
but the problem is that the displayed apps were found too small. it cannot recognize the data package (it displayed 30mb for DH3 and 14MB for sixguns, see the attachment)
Can someone tell me what's happening and what I should do to move my games to the SD card correctly??
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!

About my situation
Hey everyone
I am new to XDA and android.
I have HTC Desire SV with most of the features common with HTC desire x. just wanted to know i have around 1.11 GB of internal storage and 1.10 GB of phone storage.
Heavy applications like GTA vicecite have 13 mb of APK and then 900 mb of data. My doubt is will this data be stored in phone memory? or we can somehow shift it to external card. Also can anyone tell how to download and install such kind of games for free. i have data files and APK just wanted to know how to install in external SD card and not phone storage/internal storage.
I know it is a noob's question but please help

Thanks for replying. the problem is that after installing apps the folder is created in phone storage's android folder and not in external sd card. HTC phone storage is just 1.09 GB out of which only 725 MB is available to me right now and 400MB is already used (attached the screen shot) the data for these games is more than 900MB. what to do? :crying:
Please help or give a tutorial i am new to android.

Does no good without rooting the phone. Any other solution just to copy the game data to external sd without rooting
A2SD isn't good for this device, it's meant for devices with less than 500 MB internal storage.
Try to create folders Android/data on your sd and then to install a game and see what will happen.
Not happen.............
plZ Help Me
Your issue is the size of your external memory, 1gigabyte is no where near enough for the games you mentioned
And as suggested above create the needed folders android/data & android/obb
If you have sd card then the data is automatically downloaded to sdcard

I think it's because Op has 1gb sdcard, and thats good for maybe 2 smallish games like Blackops zombies/shadowgun/deadtrigger/etc

I have nearly all of them hd games installed on my dx, all you gotta do is just place data in either android/data or /obb, & then install apk..
If you have a stock hTC rom on your DX , internal & external sdcards are swapped . That means the external SD card is mounted as the internal SD and you can safely place the game data on your external SD in Android/data or Android/obb (depending on the game ofc) and the game will run without any extra tweaks . I've tried NOVA 3 and it works without a problem .
However , if you have a custom rom that doesn't swap the storages , try using DirectoryBind . Never tried it on an hTC , but tried it on lots of Samsungs , LGs and Sonys and it works without a prob , so I don't see why it wouldn't work on our DX .
DirectoryBind is an app that can be used to mount folders from the external SD on the internal SD , to look as if the folders are actually situated on the internal memory . If you don't know how to use it , check out my tutorial over here .

isnt there any way to do this without rooting? i just bought this phone and then compared to lg p500 rooting is so dificult to understand for me, that's why i don;t even try to do so.
I have a samsung galaxy young s6312, stock android 4.1.2 jellybean, rooted. I want to play asphalt 6 on my device. But i don't have 1.3 gb free space, which is required to download game data. I have an 8 gb external sd card though, which I can use to save game data. I know I can use Gl to sd to move game data after I have put it on my internal sd card, but I don't have enough space to put it on my internal memory. Plz suggest me a method by which I can play that game. I have copied the data folder of that device from my friends mobile, but I can't place it on my internal sd card. Plz give me a solution. Thanks....
Ok So here goes the Problem :
Since I got about 500 MB of internal storage on Phone memory free. I tried to download the game on SD card . I used link2sd to set the preference to external SD card. The ext2 partition on my SD card has about 2.7 GB free space.
Even then when I try to download it , it says : error insufficient space on external storage .
So I made space on internal storage and set the preference back to internal.
Even then I am getting the same error
I already tried using common methods like clearing cache ,uninstalling upadtes to play store etc.
I use cm 12.1 lollipop 5.1.1.
Any suggestion would be help ful .
Thanks in advance.
Read the Note in play store?

the game says
"** A minimum of 1.5 GB of free space is required on your device."
Also the download cache will be on internal as far as I know, so its better to have 1.5GB internal space free.
Else download the data from mirror sites as its not any paid game!
Can you point me to some nice mirror sites bro? Coz I Dont know them.
Thanks .
