My shield is root and i try GL to SD and Folder Mount app to move the game to sd card but not success. After i move the game and mount it, when i start the game and nothing happen.
So anyone have any idea how to move the game to sd card because now my internal memory is full and i want to install more game on it.
Thanks
Folder mount is working for me you have to clone the directory first and then move the data to the cloned directory

If we have use folder mount to move the game into sd card. Is that possible to move back to internal memory without download again the game data or losing the game data?

yes you can copy-paste the data back to the internal memory with root explorer or with your computer

What permissions are on your memory card right now? I have a 64GB card formatted to FAT32 and it just shows RWX on the group (or ---rwx---). If I try to change it, it tells me permission denied (and yes, I am rooted). I read up on it and it seems that FAT32 doesn't support permissions on Linux. So how are people getting this to work? FolderMount tells me it has an error changing permissions (obviously), and the game thinks that I need to download the data again.

Right, but that doesn't quite explain how people have it working for them, but mine won't work. I'm curious how people are getting around this.

I have to check when I get home but all I did was format the card fat32 and run the folder mount
I noticed only some of the games would move for me. But I reinstalled Bards Tale and when I did it asked me when downloading the 3.8gb hi def version where I wanted to install and I was able to choose external storage.
Well folder mount is working for me just MC4 is not for some reason and the permissions on the SD are just read

With the SD card inserted on SD card reader formated fat32 with mini tool partition manager on my desktop with W8
I have use the folder mount app to transfer the games to sd card but not all the game working. Like if i transfer Dead Trigger, Shadowgun, The Dark Knight Rises or Fifa 12, after the folder mount finish transfer the file to sd card, then i open the game, it either stuck there or close the game by itself.
I wonder what happen?

firstly before you start to move the app/game make sure that the all the apps are closed, then move the app then after click on the pin to mount it then dont open the app straight away, restart your device wait a few seconds then open the app and it works perfect, thats what i did because i had the same problem as you had at first and this solved it for me, now all my games works perfect while moved to my 64gb class 10 sd card :good:

I want to move a folder to the micro sd card...and then link the original folder to it...to save space...
how is this done? i cant find it on the web and with EZ file explorer.
Maybe another solution?

Why dont you just cut the original folder from the internal sd card and then paste onto your external sd card.
You dont need to keep the original folder on the internal sd card.

Because apps like gameloft have their data stored on the internal storage. Moving that data will not make gameloft's games search for a new location...

Unpatched games do,but if you patch the game like the post i showed you on the other thread,then the game will run with the data stored on the external sd card.
If you still dont understand,i can do a step by step instruction on how to run a gameloft game with the data stored on the external sd card.

Hi Friends,
I'm new to forum and bought new Galaxy R.
The partition in phone is divided into 3
1. phone memory 1.9 gb
2. USB storage 3.7 gb
3. My SD card 7.4 gb
Now the problem is I have download games and my USB storage is full.
I also I tried copying to SD card and playing it. but didn't work.
Since, This is my new phone I don't wanna root at early level since the company warranty is void if it is rooted as I have heard from friends.
I need help to copy into SD card and play without rooting
or atleast my game recognise the path of sd card where i have transferred.
I have seen previous post and tried many soft like apps2sd, etc.. nothing worked.
any alt solutions to copy in SD and play without rooting...
Thanks in advance..
Also when I try to transfer the files to SD Card using manager or other soft's but failed.
For example: Like I tried moving Gameloft Real football 2012 to SD Card. It only copies some 10 or 12 mb file which we download from market not the full files which we download later (i.e approx 400 mb)..

GL TO SD requires root. As given in the instructions, and i and the original poster doesn't want root.

Hi Friends,
I found some important stuff regarding the USB Storage & SD card..
This is for "Non-rooted" mobile phones.
I installed ES file explorer & X-plore and also few other apps.. This is to check how arrangement of file system are in the phone.
Now what i absorbed is, In the display of phone memory it shows 1.9gb and for SD Card memory it shows 4.9gb which is USB storage not the one which I have installed 8gb SD Card.
So its like this..
" /mnt/sdcard " This is for USB 4gb space (Non extendable)
" /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/ " This is for my 8gb sd card (Extendable)
Hence, when ever any App wants to download additional data it goes to USB Storage (I.e /mnt/sdcard ) not to SD 8gb expandable storage card.
I want to configure or use the command to make the application to choose default location as " /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/ " to save in my extendable memory card without rooting.
IS THIS POSSIBLE... Please do let me know from the experts...
THANK YOU..
From what i have seen , u need a shadow copy or u need to bind the folders in some way, which requires root... I see no other way...

You cannot download from the play store then. You would have to download it online somewhere to do this. Do not get a refund for the game though.
Go find the game online Download apk and SD Data. Get either GL to SD or Directory Bind (Google Directory Bind). Put sd data in external sd Android-Obb folder and install the apk. Then use GL to SD or directory bind to bind the game to that location.

New thread?
Was going to make a new thread but I found this and this is somewhat newer than all the other "app to external SD" threads.
I have the same problem. I have a 900 MB Internal memory and a 2GB Internal SD. The 2GB internal ran out so I bought a 8GB External and stuck it in. Now my problem is, How do I get the apps to get on the external? I've tried numerous app2sd apps like DroidSail App2SD and App2SD and AppMgr III (App 2 SD).
My phone is rooted and I also tried # pm setInstallLocation 2 but all I get is
[1] Killed pm setInstallLocation 2
Any help?

Hello everyone. I recently underwent a forced upgrade to an LG Optimus F3 after my Kyocera Rise almost started a house fire. I am trying to get all my apps on the thing and everything has gone smoothly. However when I tried to install FIFA 14, which is a large app, I receive an error message.
i imgur com/xhlUueG.png
This is baffling, since I have over 25 GB of space remaining on the card.
i imgur com/QVHmmF9.png
Any advice on how to resolve this problem would be appreciated.
Things that may be ****ing stuff up:
-I literally took the SD card straight from the other phone and put it in this one.
-I have been installing a lot of stuff today.
-I don't really know what else.
Do you have Lucky Patcher installed on you're phone..?
If you do, stop it from running and wipe LP cache... And try again...

No, I do not. Would you recommend I install it?
I thought the problem might be coming from the fact that the SD card was used in another phone. So I used the Erase all Data option in Settings > Storage, but the problem persists.
Can anyone help, or do you need more info?
Maybe I need to format the card another way?
And pardon the double post, but here's another screenshot, this time of ES File Explorer.

Is it normal for there to be two directories there?

I could really use some help figuring this out. I used Aparted to delete the partition and create a new one but still no change. Is there anywhere else or some other subforum where I should be posting this, or is there a way for me to figure this out on my own?

Well, it shows my SD cards under Settings > Storage, but I'm not seeing an option to move apps to SD on the app menus.
I also hard reset my device, but apparently the problem still persists. When I get home imma try the other SD card and see if there's a change.
No change with the other SD card, so it must be a phone error. Any ideas?

Is your phone currently rooted??? And Aparted is an awesome software. your not using the android app to partition the sd when a pc should be used to partition the sd with a micro reader???

Yes, I just rooted my phone. However, the problem persists, and I still don't have the option to move apps to SD card. I'm not sure what you're getting at in the second sentence though, sorry.
Okay what I mean by the second sentence is that Aparted is available for pc and as apk for android, which one did you use??? And when you partitioned the sd card what format did you use NTFS, FAT32, FAT16 etc.... and also did you wipe the sd prior to formatting it???

I used the android one, a fat32 format, and yes.
Okay, basically what I think is going on is that my phone just doesn't support apps on SD card. Something about the way my filesystem emulates an SD card or something, so it's not a capability I can just unlock from the phone. Anyway, I've been able to sort of work around the problem by using link2SD with an aparted partition, which looks like it's working perfectly, as far as it goes. If anyone else runs into a problem like this and finds a better solution please let me know!
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Awesome, and link2sd is one of best app2sd apks available....cheers man

I can see my card and even play my DVD's off of it via VLC (MX Player isn't 5.0 ready), but I can't change files. Does Android's "Erase SD Card" option also format? I may try that as I don't have anything else that can read/format a 64GB microSD (well, my DSLR can but I have no microSD to SD adapters)

Apps accessing data on the SD card don't find the data
I did some further tests and it looks like apps, for example a navigation app where the maps are on the SD card, don't find the map data on the SD card.

another way if already rooted, install Folder Mount (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en) which is very useful in it's own right. When ran for the first time it'll detect that the SD Card is not writeable, it'll offer to fix it. Choose to do so, reboot, and presto!!
