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!

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...
I've found that a lot of people is upset about the impossibility of install your games or apps on the external SD Card, you have 32gb and you cant used them... it's a shame...:crying::crying::crying::crying:
BUT :victory: After losing my whole day on testing and research I wanted to share a simple way (Not the only one) to move the data of your games or apps from the Internal Sd to the (Real) Sd Card
I'll try to keep it simple: (You need to root your phone)
I'll do it for Need For Speed Most Wanted

1. Install your game (or app)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Run the game
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Wait for the game to download the data and play it just once (Just to know that it works :silly
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Install this amazing tool by slig
DirectoryBind
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
Thanks dude
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Open DirectoryBind
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Open the menu
Menu button on your phone genius
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Select "Add new entry"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. On "Enter Source" You put the folder of the External Sd Card that you want to use
(For example - a new folder on my sd card named "mnt\ext_card\My apps data\Android\data\com.ea.games.nfs13_na")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.On "Target Path You put the original folder where the data is
(For example -"mnt\sdcard\Android\data\com.ea.games.nfs13_na")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Check "Transfer files from target to data"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. Wait for the app to finish the process THIS CUT THE DATA FROM THE INTERNAL SD AND PASTE IT ON THE EXTERNAL SD CARD :good:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Now everything should be ok and you just have to check that the little icon on the left of the link is GREEN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Open your game
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14. PLAY!!!!!!!!

For the DCIM ( The camera images ) There's the option inside the camera app to chose the internal sd or the external sd ... However... YEAP :good: It works for other folders.

Use Foldermount app from the Play store. The instructions are in the app's description.

It should work if your phone is rooted. There is no other way to move data at the moment. I also have NFS and Asphalt 7 and they work fine with the data moved to the external SD card. Here's a video how to use it.
I tried folder mount, it works but beware if you have an exfat formatted (if you format with the mega) sd card as it may be prone to corruption. I have now formatted it to fat32, and it seems more stable

They work just moved the game such as NFS, etc. but I can not move a lot of programs that take up space. FolderMount sees it as 0 bytes. I also tried to do a Titanium backup but it does not work. Do you have any ideas?

Do a manual move by tapping + on the upper part of the app, give it a name and manually look for the source folder in the internal memory. The app will automatically generate a destination folder then tap the check symbol on top. You can do this with any app as long as you know where the data is located on the internal storage.

well I'll try to do that! Unfortunately I can not find all the places where applications are installed to move them. I will continue to try to.
Moving the application found on the SD card, but you can not see it in the program, either as a couple or as an application. You can only see these in pairs! What I'm doing wrong

You can use a file explorer to see what folders are inside the internal storage. They are usually named appropriately e.g. Copilot app has a folder named com.alk.copilot.eumarket.primeumeupan in the internal storage and has all the data inside. Some apps are small so you won't find any folder for them as they are not required.
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)

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.
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
