[Help] how to move obb data to sd card - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear friends
I am using LG Optimus L9 running on stock rom with unlocked bootloader and of course rooted, it is nice phone but the main problem is that it has only 2.3 gb of usable internal memory, I have partitioned my sd card and using link2sd for linking app to 2nd partition but I'm not able to move heavy obb files to sd card, games like GTA, Asphalt etc can't be played by me because they have heavy obb files
Some body told me use GL2SD to move them but I am not sure whether it will work or not
Please tell me is there any other way to move obb files to sd, if i had to use GL2SD then how it will work?

[Q] download game data to external sd

Hello )
I have a rooted ICS samsung note, i installed the NFS Most Wanted game, after launching the game, he tries to download 1,96 GB of data and (of course) can't find enough space on my internal memory of my internal SD card
i already have a second SD card installed on my Note (with 25 GB free space on it), how can i manage to get the NFS game to download data on that external SD rather than the internal one?
thanks a lot!! )

From what I know,game data should download automatically on SD card,at least on my phone.Is Your game installed on SD card or on your phone?

I moved it to the internal SD card, how can i do to push it to the external one (the one with more storage) ?

Get a program like app2sd pro or apptoSd.
Did you managed to make it work? You can try an app that is called GLtoSD.It allows you to move big gaming data to your external SD card. Root is required.

[Q] How to install large games like Gta Vice City, Asphalt 7

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

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 .

Moto E was launched by Flipkart in India only on 14th May, how can you use this for last 20 days ?
Regarding your querry, yes most of the application will be installed in internal memory. Please check from Settings > Device > Apps, whether the particular application shows "Move to SD card" option. I tried Tapatalk, can not be moved to SD card, but when I installed ES File explorer, I could move the application to SD card.

The data files placed in external sd card will not work, i can only run if u place data files in internal sd card...
And there are many third party apps like mount2sd, link2sd etc that make the data in external sd card but it requires root access!!
Foldermount from Play store does a good job in such cases of moving large obb game data to SD card.

Moving apps to SD card

As far as i know, in kitkat apps are restricted from accessing other folders in sd card. but they can read and write data to their own folders in SD card isn't it? so y am i unable to move all the data to sd card? like in asphalt or something, cant that app move the data to its own folder in the SD card?

Yeah that's not possible .Its how it is....only apk move to SD card not the app data. You shud just root and then use Folder mount
Low end phones are much better with root access

HELP.!!!!!!!
How can i move pre-installed apps to sd card??? My phone is rooted...
pre installed apps are usually placed in system folder
the updates of those apps can be moved to sd card using link2sd
in order to move the entire app to sd card, the system app should be converted to user app
heard about another app called folder mount with about the same usage, but personally haven't tried it yet

Hi people I have a question >> can Whatsapp be transferred to external sdcard...and if yes then do all images and videos share on whatsapp get stored on external sd or internal sd... kindly let me know...accordingly I may decide to purchase the phone.

Which app to use for moving games to SD card?

I recently rooted my phone because his internal storage is too small and my sd card has 8gb and is not used at all.
But, I don't know which apps to use, I've tried few like Link2SD but i need to buy it so I can link my games...
Suggest me an free app to use for moving games to sd card (moving whole games or just most of data)
Btw, I heard that I need to partition my sd card, could you tell me is this it
