Hello, I have rooted my x10 m pro via superoneclick..then did the 2gb sdcard partition with easeus leaving a result of one 1,5gb fat32 part and another 350mb aprox fat part. Then installed link2sd and everything works fine, I moved all may user apps from the internal memory to the sd partition with root explorer, then did a test downloading and installing some random app from market and link2sd did the right job by installing it directly to the sdcard partition.
But theres a little problem, I downloaded plants vs zombies apk wich size is almost 75mb and its located in the 1,5gb sdcard partition. When I try to install this apk it tells me that theres no enough space. I checked that partition and it has +300mb free, almost the same that the internal memory has and if I try to install it from the internal memory the same warning message appears. Its like link2sd is not doing its job because it doesnt link the installation to the sdcard partition. Any ideas???
Cmon guys, any advice? I wasn´t able to install another apk of 40mb from the sd card, I cant figure out how to install this stuff that doesnt come from the market (I have checked the option to install non market apps)
Try installing a new ROM
sometimes the APp2 Sd and Link2sd don't actually work. best is to try installing a new rom, probably Froyo comb 1.5. there u have a setting to install directly on to the apps. try that
The reason it says not enough space because, the app is first installed in phone memory and then linked to sd card!
Hi,
I am just using latest sale LPY rom which is great.
I had another phone back at the time (959V) with Team Acid CM 9.1 which as I recall allowed me to install some games into the external SD card, But the current rom on the S2 phone does not seem to allow that (tried installing Modern combat 3 and NOVA 3 - But most of the data is kept on the INTERNAL SD card, even when I use the "move to sd card" function in applications).
Is there a way to use the external SD card to actually install games with large amount of data on them ?
Thank you

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....
Hi!
Some days ago, i bought an allview v1 viper e, maybe you`ve not heard about those phones...Well...they are cheap )
All was good, until i started to install games...If i don`t have a micro SD in the phone, it install the games in internal memory, if i insert an SD card, it install any apps on it, i checked to install them in internal storage, but it install them on SD card.
And, if i install a game when i don`t have the sd card inserted, and i can play it, after i instert the SD card, and try to play again the same game, it is starting again to download the game...
Do you know that if i`ll use a rom, like from cyanogen, the problem will be solved?
It does not matter for me where the games are installing, but...The phone memory is empty, i have 5gb free on sd card, and the phone is telling me that the memory is full and don`t let me to install more apps...
Here are 2 images:the image with 2 folders(one of them is empty, and in the other one is only one folder), is the internal memory.And the image with a lot of folders is my SD card...
Sorry for my bad english
I was told that if I formatted my 128GB Flash Drive to NTFS I'd be able to move game OBB's there, how do I do this? I can't seem to find any option for it also is it now possible to install the games there?
Apps to SD
Hello, as far as I know the only way to move apps like gameloft games etc to your External SD is to root your device. once rooted you can use apps like GL2sd or alike to easily move them to and from your SD card.
Hope this helps.
