Gta 3 will freeze and lockup my phone so i want to see if running it via internal memory will fix the issue game runs and works on sd card but after 7 minutes it seema to just freeze requiring a battery pull..
is there anyway i can put the game files on my phones memory and have it run that way? the apk is already in my internal memory but still installs to sd..
any help i know this is a long shot :/
You can move the files to the internal storage (with root and a root browser) but the game won't find this. Normally, the files are big and so the game "install" these files on the sd card. Have you a second sd card to test if it's really the sd card?

Hello everyone...
this is my first post on xda since i couldnt find any solution if i'm at fault kindly bear with me
1. i flashed my gt i9003 with miui v10.4 a week ago and everything was going fine
2. but today i suddenly got a notification that my storage was full
3. when i checked i noticed that the apps i installed were on internal sd card which is just 2gb(1.7gb usable)
4. i tried moving some apps which were installed on phone memory only to see them move to internal sd card.
5. i have a 32 gb external sd card which is visible in file explorer and i can browse the files but the apps when moved from phone memory doesnt move to external sd card.
6. kindly help me out with the above issue where i can move the apps i installed on phone memory to external sd card so that i can use it for installing games and not limit its usage to just songs and videos.
7. thank you
As much as i have used miui-gb i think external sd sometimes stay as external_sd folder only...try to format or reflash the rom.
As phone is having 1.85 gb of internal memory why dont u use it until it doesnt get full ???
U can use sd swap which will interchange internal and external sd.

I own a Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013, it is rooted but I still use the stock ROM. I've been doing some tests to see if Link2SD would solve my storage problem. During these tests I noticed that all the big games I linked to the 2 partition of my SD card aren't really linked, as they still are inside the internal storage!!! After that I also noticed in the storage info that I have an external SD card, a SD card second partition and a SD card strangely similar in size to my internal storage!!!! (image attached to help undestand) Can someone explain this to me and possibly give me a solution!!!
No Problem with LINK2SD!!!

I'm using LINK2SD and I don't have any problems.
In fact I have close to 370+ apps (user) and except ENCRYPTED apps (~8) all are in EXT SDCARD 2nd partition.
It is TRUE whenever I'm flashing a NEW ROM - I don't see all those 360+ apps because 2nd partition is not mounted yet (because of new flash).
When I click LINK2SD it again re-creates mount scripts and I have all the apps again.
So far so good.
What I'm saying is that whenever I move a big game like Real Racing 3, Link2SD only moves a couple of MB's that are in the internal memory to the SD card's 2 partition, the 1GB of game data stays in the internal SD card!!! My space problem is a result of many games in my note, so I need to move the game data to the SD card!!
I'm a new Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 owner and need a few pointers on using link2sd. I installed it and understand that since our tablets don't support Apps2Sd natively that we have to move the relevant files to their respective locations onto the 2nd(exFat) partition of the SD card. I understand this however I am not sure how to do it since the tablet can't see this second partition(at least mine can't). If I go to Settings->Storage I can only see my main 16GB internal storage and the 1st(Fat32) partition on the sdcard. No other file managers allow me to see this 2nd partition on the sdcard either. With that in mind, how do I access this 2nd partition to move the linked files to the sdcard?
Dudes, you need to understand, that Link2SD and app2sd DON'T move the big app (game) data from the /mnt/sdcard0/Android folder to your external SD. It only moves the app itself. It was always this case, so I'm wondering about the hype unless you don't have a small app partition.
You have to use Directory Bind or FolderMount for moving big files to external SD. Or simply swap external SD with internal storage.
I have apps on the SD card that work, however in emulators I can't access the SD card or anywhere I have to go through the directories. Anyone have an idea how to get this working? Is it not formatted correctly?

No, everything is fine on your end.
You must be on android version 4.4.2, which block write access on the sd card, which means you can't put things on it with a file explorer or have apps write files to it(save files, random generated data, etc...)
You either have to downgrade to version 4.3 or root it and install sd card fix from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...+play&pcampaignid=APPU_D-xVU4WjEYu0yATe3YGYBQ
You can still write your sd card using a root explorer. Apps that store data on the sdcard can only write to their respective folders is what it is. I think hes talking about how the directories are different because of how mount points are in kitkat now
Access to the SD card isn't blocked. Apps can only write to folders the app owns. Snes9x for example created a folder on the SD card. That is where you have to tell the app to save files to as it is the only folder it has write access to. I figured that out and have no problem saving files to the SD with any of my emulators.

I noticed this too on my shield. I was going to put some ISOs on my SD card for FPSE to use. When I was in FPSE's config, I was going to try and point it to the SD card but it would only allow me to work with the onboard memory. Would the SD card fix allow me to get this working? I really don't want to store ISOs on the onboard memory or just continually shuffle my active ISO to the internal memory when I want to play that game.

Yes SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD will allow you to move things to the SD card. (write access) Just remember you need to be rooted to use the app.

Thanks for the link. Yes, it's definitely rooted.
Hi,
Recently i bought a phone with 16Gb INTERNAL memory and 3 gb external Sd, until now i used a phone with merged memory sd + internal, now i wanna know how i can install any game ( .apk + OBB) to internal memory to 16 gb memory, not on the SD card. If i install the apk and copy the obb to internal/android/obb or internal/android/data the game won't work. It only works if i copy the obb files into SD CARD, but i don't want that. Any Ideea?
Thank You.
! I managed to fix the installs, U just need to unmount SD Card, copy the Obb files to obb folder ( Internal/android/obb) then install apk and run it.
Thanks. Please TC!
There is a better way. Always try to make The real folder of the game and paste the obb in it inside the Android folder before installing the apk. After that install the apk.
When u first install the apk it creates its own folder and will not read you data. So first create Obb folder then install apk.

Try moving the app to the internal storage in the "Apps" in settings.
Also you should set Internal SD as default in "Storage" under settings. NOTE: Some phones don't have this option.
maybe you can try some of the apps that move the app to the SD card after installation?
Hi all!
I have an Honor 6, with 16 GB internal storage.
After I've installed many apps, I have about 6 GB free space, so I decided to move my favourite game to the internal storage for better performance/loading times (~1,5 GB), but I can't.
If I just copy the obb files to internal memory, when I start the game it starts to download the whole 1,5 GB again to the external SD.. Doesn't use the files from the internal storage.
However I still want to use my SD Card as primary storage location by default.
I am rooted.
Link2SD, App2SD not working.
Is there any way to set the app, where to search for data files?
Thank you!

Might not work but still, worth a try if you're desperate enough to search Google and post on this forum
Log in to Google Play Games and save your data. Reinstall the app on the internal storage and then log in via google.
Hopefully that worked and hit "thanks" if it did .
Thanks for the tip, but it don't solve my problem.
If I delete and then reinstall the application, it still puts the OBB files to the extranet storage..

Can you please tell me what you did to move your internal storage to your sdcard?
There is some misunderstanding.
I set my SD card as default storage, because I want that apps save their data (downloaded files, settings, etc) to it, except one. I pulled out the SD card, reinstalled the game (in this case, the obb files were on the internal storage), and the performance was way better.
So I want SD card as default (I set it before), except one app for performance reasons.

Sorry for extreme confusion, but, did it work?
No, sadly nothing works..
I only can install obb files to internal storage, if I put out SD, or set "internal storage" in settings.
But I don't want to, because if I set it, EVERYTHING is saved to the SD.... Photos, app data eg.: stickers, backups.. I just want to set the path for the obb files individually.. :/
