Hello, is anyone of you use the app GL to SD? Does it do the job for you? In fact, there's some issue. For example, the problem for me is that even the data file is said to be moved in the external sd, there's still a copy of it in the internal storage and when I deleted it and I go back to the GL to SD app to open the game, it doesn't load. Therefore, obviously, the game still relies on the data located in the INTERNAL STORAGE in order for it to operate. That's the problem...

It's Working Perfect but I heard that utility NT working only on cm roms.
First of all, Make sure gl to sd have root access. Second you should use file manager and create a file called data and another one called obb in your ext sd card. It depends on the game some can be placed in data others can be placed in obb.

Maybe you mount the folder and the folder you delete is actually in external sd.
Give me a email is more fast to know.
I have the same issue
I have exactly the same problem. I tried Gl to SD on Real Racing 3 and Mini Motor Racing. The application copy the content of data or obb in my external SD Card but the folder remains in the phone. So instead of saving space I'm using twice as much as each of those games should :/ Pretty serious issue. I don't even know if I can cancel what GL to SD did and come back to normal with data internal only. But I tried to start the games renaming the folder in the phone OR the folder in the externalSD and it does not start. A shame.
If anyone have an idea and may know what I eventually did wrong, thanks in advance for sharing the info !
I checked a bit more and it seems that GL to SD functions fine. When I mount real racing 3 a folder "com.ea.games.r3_row" of 1.39 Gb suddenly "appear" in Android/data. This folder is a perfect "copy" of what's in the ExternalSD. If I unmount the game the folder disappear. But before and after my disk space remains identical.
In other words GL to DS mount an image, making android believe a folder is there. But it is here only virtually. The physical folder is in the External SD. It's the same idea as Daemon Tools on PC. You mount an image .img .iso .nrg in a virtual DVD. You can see the content of a DVD in windows eplorer but you know it is not really there. Daemon and GL to SD force your OS to believe that some files are where they are not in order to make a program start.
Other thing that may sound weird : some big programs appear in GL to SD with 0 kb or a very small size. GL to SD moves only what's inside data or obb folders. If a game have nothing in there then no space can be freed :/ Except by moving the application to SD card if your phone does that (HTC, etc). Samsung doesn't. ... which sucks big time.
I tried dozens of "move to sd" apps from om the store on my Samsung S3 but none work on this phone. GL to SD manage to do something really nice already on rooted device. If someone know an app that moves games/app on External SD for devices that does not allow that please let me know ! Thanks
Just to be sure...
lets say hypothetically you fill your entire phone storage up. will there be no room for the game to mount to phone and therefore it will not work? Does mounting fool the system into thinking its in internal storage? or does it actually move it there temporarily? cause if its the latter it doesnt make any sense cuz youll always need to keep 6GB free for 3 2GB games for example...which kind of defeats the purpose...no? does anyone know for sure for sure sure sure what happens?

Foldermount is a better alternative
Or you can use xposed module named OBB to SD(just copy obb folder of your game to sd card/android/obb)

hello all, i just recently got my hands on a slightly used galaxy tab 2 7.0, i like the stock rom allot but after installing a 32gb sd card and trying to download my android apps and game collection i quickly found out that the stock jellybean rom 4.1.2 doesn't allow apps to be transferred to the external sd card, this is a problem for me because i have a bunch of paid apps and games that i like to use all the time, and i want to be able to store them on my galaxy because sometimes in not in a wifi area and i cant download an app when i need to, i recently tried a new custom rom Tsunami X10 and i like the rom, it looks nice with its dark themes, but it still doesn't have the option for apps to be installed on the external sd, can anyone recommend a custom rom that allows me to move apps to sd card and still work, some apps like GL to sd will not work for my games on this tablet, any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

You can switch your internal and external SD space. That way you can fool your tablet into thinking that it's internal space is 32GB and everything will be stored on your SD card automatically.
You can do it with the app called Link2SD, however required root access. You may refer this (http://techtrickz.com/how-to/extend...roid-phone-by-utilizing-a-portion-of-sd-card/) article to get an idea on how to use the app. It's quite simple and explained step by step.
Hi guys, I've encounter a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S II Plus. When I copy the obb files in my SD or internal storage and the apk the games still don't work. The phone is rooted. Please any advice, any app to install to clear this issue. Thanks.
My phone is rooted and i have xposed installed im looking for information or if its even possible to have the system use the sd card as internal memory. As with most mid range phones ive hit the issue of running low on space even with most things disabled and what can be stored on external any help would be great its samsung galaxy j7 2016 marshmallow 6.01 root,xposed thanks, pappa

Search for "root essentials" app it has features to mount external sd as internal. But as its beta has some bugs.thnks
i dont know a way but if you want to transfer obb files (have a lot of high end games like asphalt 8,, fifa 16,15)
download öbb on scdard from playstore
activate in the framework
reboot done you can transfer your obb files in sdcard/Android/obb/
Hi All,
I'm a bit of a newbie to Android & i'm having a very frustrating problem. I'd like to install and run large games from my SD Card because it has a lot more room on it. The problem is that every game i try refuses to work unless the OBB files are in my phone's Android\obb directory. If i move them to the SD card's Android\obb directory then the game just seems to download the necessary files and put them on my phone. Even if i move the app to the SD card after installing the APK, it still looks at the phone for the obb files.
I'm using a Note 8 and i'm not rooted.
Any help appreciated !
