[Q]Move heavy games like FIFA 14 to sdcard1 - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guyz
I took the apk and obb file of FIFA 14 from my friend. Firstly I installed the apk and then placed the obb file in sdcard1(ext sdcard)/android/obb and opened the game the game said no resources found, then I copied data to sdcard0/android /obb and reinstalled apk and the game worked, I moved it to sdcard from settings/apps but after moving it to sdcard also the internal memory shows 450 mb free while it was 1.7 GB free before installing. So can anyone tell how can I move whole game to sdcard1 so I can install more games like asphalt and move them also to sdcard1

If u have rooted ur phone, u can use GL to SD or FolderMount. There are various guides in the forum on how to use them:good::good:

You have to download link2sd and go to settings and set install location to external. It works just like adb shell

Download and install titanium backup pro from anywhere you like. Open the program and click on the options button of your phone and click on batch. You'll see a number of operations followed by a run button after each one. Scroll down and you'll see "move all user apps to SD card", click on run and you are done

Without partitioning the SD card, you will always have part of the apps on internal. With partitioning the SD card, you can move the entire apps to SD card.
I just went to gplay (marketplace) and got app2sd. Whether the phone is rooted or not you should be able to move the apps to the sdcard-ext, as long as there is enough room.

Yeah it helps in moving some apps to sd but it doesnt allows you to move all the app to sd. you may need to root you phone in order to move all apps to sd. when i used to use app2sd when i just started using android i used to have around 40 mb internal memory free inspite of moving all the apps that were possible to move on an unrooted phone to sd. I was then inspired to root my phone when i saw its possibilities

How can i make an ext part on my SDcard ???
I am using link2sd and it works like a charm. I have not partitioned my sd card.
TRY THIS
If u have lucky patcher installed on ur device, the version should be 3.9.3, first of all, move ur app or game's data (the very known com.xyz.xxxxx folder) to extsd/android/data or obb by using filemanager , now create that folder with a same name in sdcard or internal sd/android/data or obb/here, which would be like com.xyz.xxxxxx, open lucky patcher v3.9.3 goto toolbox tap directory binder, remember it will not bind the whole sdcard or internal sd , it will work only for particular directory (folder), so no need to worry, now tap on add new directory bind, no tap browse the 1st one, and show it to the path of that extsd/android/data/com.xyz.xxxx folder after that select current directory, now go for browse the 2nd one, goto the internal path should be like sdcard/android/data or obb/com.xyz.xxxx select current directory, now tap on bind directory. thats it, it will save ur sdcrd space. u can check it by setting then storage, i successfully did it in my funbook infinity having 1.5gb internal space available, plays the amazing Spider-Man2 , the dark knight rises, and dead trigger.
I have a rooted but otherwise stock Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (SM-T705) and I have a 128GB Sandisk SD card. Is it possible to move all apps (with all their contents) to the SD card? I read that even though my device is rooted, I will need to partition my SD card first before i can move all apps (with all their contents) to the SD card? Can someone please tell me how to partition my SD card? Also, if I move all apps with all their contents to SD card, would the running of such apps encounter any problems (as part of them are supposed to be in the device internal memory?)
I tried Link2 SD and Titanium Backup Pro but I could not see any such function (only native Android app2sd).
Thank you very much in advance.

for the moment not possible! Maybe in the future someone will make a rom who supports that
Gl to sd card only moves files. Apps will not work later. For example, I moved Max Payne to external sd card, and then when I launched the game, it asked to download missing files. What we need over here is an app that will automatically rout to sd card when clicked.
I tried App2SD, Link2SD and GLtoSD and none worked except for breaking Google Play, the only solution i found was Directory Bind.

Thanks, will give it a try. Weird thing, i've spent like an hour trying to figure out why can't move apps to sd...
Well Directory Bind can't move Apps it only moves folders, so you can move all the SD data and some of the folders containing the Apps but when you move it you have to leave the original folder on internal memory because it makes it impossible to delete, so you just have to delete the contents.
Anyone tried "super mount".app made by lidroid
Would this work?
I opened the script file using notepad, would you just change where it says "external_sd" to "extSdCard" and it would bind the folder and allow games to access the data from the external SD?
Just asking because I'm not sure if this would work on the S3...

[Guide][Trick]Link folders from external SD to internal SD card

Here is a way to link folders from external sd to internal.
This is usefully for stock ROMs which have sd card emulation enabled
With this trick you can for example link Download folder from external sd and all downloads will go to external sd automatically.
Or for example you can link Android/obb folder if you have large games.
This should also work for non rooted phones(I think)
Steps:
1. Pick folder on you external sd which you want to link to internal sd.
2. Now create folder with same name in you internal sd. Its fine if it already exists
3. Download and install Android Tuner(free version will not work, sorry)
4. Open System Mgr >> SD
5. Now click on "New link"
6. Select folder you created in step 2
7. You might get a warning dialog saying that this link might not work, just ignore it.
This is tested on stock Rom Android 4.1.2. It may not work on other Android versions
8. Now select parent directory of a folder you selected in step 6.
For example if you are linking folder Android/obb, first you would select folder in internal sd
Code:
/storage/sdcard0/Android/obb
And then his paren in external SD
Code:
/storage/sdcard0/Android
9. That's all. To test just open folder you linked from internal sd and you'll see content of external sd folder.
I have Asphalt Airborn and Dungeon Hunter 4 installed and working (more than 2GB of sd data)
Enjoy

I've just DL Android Tuner (free version) I don't see new link button under system manger, sd. My phone is stock no root no bootloader unlocked. Do you think it's only available in paid version? So confused caused I've always wanted to move app's since I had this phone.

Thank you! The fist app, which work perfect!

Did you use the free version, or the pro version? What phone model (P760/765/768/769) and what ROM?
You can also use Folder Mount app which works much better.

Good show friend it's working fine, as you know I was looking for some good app to move obb files to sd card but this one is absolutely brilliant
Can you tell me one thing that whether I have to move my obb files to sd card in such a way or i can paste obb directly to external sd?
Sent from my LG-P765 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hi,
This is working great for me
Although "ROOT IS NECESSARY" because the "New Link" does not appear unless you have root enabled in Android Tuner
Works with the Free version of the app also as far as the device is rooted
Thanks,
Rajesh
Hi,
I've tried other method using a script, but I think it just renaming the InternalSD to ExternalSD (and vice-versa), and 'fool' the phone. The actual downloaded files/games still go to the real Internal SD (the phone's 4GB). Even though I have 11GB free space on ExternalSD, I can't even download a 40MB game.
I haven't tried your method above but tell me, after I do those steps, will I be able to download large apps/games directly to (linked) ExternalSD? Any games? Even those without .obb files?
P765 stock JB 4.1.2, rooted.

It does not, as Folder Mount does not allow to link a whole content of obb directory (just specific folders inside). The Android Tuner however seems to be working fine, Thanks a lot!
EDIT: However, still can't download Modern Combat 4, as phone reports about 1 GB of free storage (the actual, linked storage is much larger, but I don't know how to "make" phone think it is).
EDIT2: OK, I took leap of faith and linked ALL content of sdcard0 to externalSD (sdcard0 is located on ExternalSD/sdcard0) and, well, it worked - it made think the phone that externalSD is sdcard0, effectively switching internal and external SD (I have 16 GB external microsd and now phone reports it has about 15 GB of free INTERNAL storage).
Hope it lasts.

How I can download apps like gangstar vegas or modern combat 4 from Playstore? As you should know, this phone as 2.2GB free space, and when I try to download, appears an error because of free space.
I can install a rom, if it's necessary to "solve" this problem.

Download the apk and obb from elsewhere. Then create a folder inside the /Android/obb directory in ur internal storage named appropriately (the name of the app's obb folder). Use foldermount to create a pair for that folder in your external storage and then place the obb file in the folder created using foldermount. Mount in foldermount and then play !!!!!
Hello, this is possible without root.
Simply, you use developer options from the android apk and then you can autonatically install default to the sd card!
