No offense,but you can get gta vc from google for free.warez,warez everywhere :cyclops:
Anyway,the game doesn't work on our device,it's not optimized.Play gta 3 if you want a gta.For best quality set the image quality to medium(you can even try higher),screen resolution at max,and distance view somewhere around 80.Also disable shadows/subtitle/vibration.

problem
Hi I do all de process... but the program copy the folder ( I have all the program in the internal sd... and in the external sd...)
why? my internal sd is not empty...? or just a small file that does link to the sd ...
I have xperia z1 but i think.. its de same.

Try android tuner guys
follow the steps
1. install Xposed framework
2. install android tuner
3. under miscevilous setting select SD
4. create new link
source: /SDcard/android
destin: /SDcard1/android
note: for source open android folder and select ok
for destin dont open android folder simply navigate to /SDcard1 and select ok
5. copy game file in /SDcard1/android
6.reboot
done:good:

Dude I am using JB Stock with root. Tried installing FIFA 14 to sd card didnt work(OBB)
But it is running fine when moved to internal storage. by this method is it possible to keep the OBB date in SD card and still make the Game work

i have xperia m (rooted and swapped mem)which has same hardware with xperia L.
i have bought nfs mw from gplay., but gplay says nfs mw imcompatible with your phone(xperia m)
I m thinking change device id so
is nfs mw compatible with xperia L or not in gplay.
Note:nfs mw work perfect my phone(downloading diffrent source).

[MOD] Swap External to Internal

Requires:
ROOT
Important:
Copy Android folder from internal to external first. Because its contain your game data.
Step by step:
1. Download Script Manager from Play Store
2. Download the script at attachment and put to /data using filemanager(root explorer) then change permission to 644(rw-r--r--)
3. Open script manager then choose the script
4. Select SU(bones) and save then RUN then immediately open notif bar to open Setting, check Storage.
5. If it is successfully swapping, back to script manager then select script to run at boot(gear symbol)
6. And save it then reboot your phone
7. Wait at least 30seconds till the script finished running. Then check your storage again at Setting > Storage.
8. Voila, it is done.
See the result in post #3

Nice trick

One more question sir.
putting System All in One to SDCard is amazing, but isn't that SDCard will worn out soon?
I mean SD's burden so high for putting System and Data in one Place.

Yes, because game data is located in Android folder like this /sdcard/Android/data and /sdcard/Android/obb ..if you're not copy that, your game will be download game data again..
No sir, it's just swapping internal memory partition, not the /system /cache /data or another partitions..so I think, it is safe..because what? it's just swap the storage, you can read it in the script...just mount like as vold.fstab,..but I'm not playing with that, very risky..so just using script to swap external sdcard partition and internal sdcard storage partition at boot..nor the /system or /data or /cache partition..do you clear it?

Do this :
1. In terminal, type 'su' enter, then type 'cat /proc/partitions > partitions' enter, then 'mount > file' enter.
2. Look to ' /' directory then find files 'partitions' and 'file' then zip and upload here.

Your internal will be gone. And internal still at external. Because I'm not make a condition like that which is when external is removed.
You must delete that script or not run at boot of that script.

[Resolved] (guide xperia m) rooting , reboot fix, and swapping internal memory

first of all all the tools and steps in this post is not mine . i had tried to bring all these things in to one thread
note:first thing first ,follow the steps from A,B,.....D
A-rooting
1-download framroot
2-install framroot
3-open framroot
4-u have to select install supersu
5-then select gandalf exploit wait for few seconds a pop up message comes sucess ..........
6-do nothing the phone will reboot itself when the phone turns on u will see super su is installed and u have ur xperia m rooted
note: some time ur phone will b rooted with the first attempt but i had tried these steps 3 times to get rooted my xperia m for the first time first time . but some time u will get rooted ur phone with single attempt so dont worry
B-busybox
1-download busybox
2-install busybox and open it wait for some time and grand super su request
3-wait for some time busybox loads tweaks after loading completes there is a install button on bottom left corner click install then choose normal
4-busy box installs tweaks after compleation of installation sucess popup message comes
5-installation of busy box is sucessfull
note:some time the phone will reboot in between the busybox installation dont worry follow from the 3rd steps. this is because of the system folder read write error
C-reboot fix (sucessfull system read/write)
1-download reboot fix.rar
2-unrar it on ur pc
3-turn on usb debugging on ur phone and connect to ur pc(sony pc companion should b installed in ur pc)
4-run supersu.bat
5-follow the instructions on the pc screen
note:without sucessful busybox installation the reboot fix will not work try these reboot fix steps several times if u r not sucessful
D-swapping internal memory
1-download extsd2internalsd_xz.txt and scriptmanager
2-install scriptmanager
3-copy the .txt file to /data folder
4-open scriptmanager and select browse as root and grand supersu permissions
5-navigate to /data folder on scriptmanager and long press the extsd2internal_xz.txt and select open As... then select Script/Executable
6-then select su and boot and select save
7-suddenly the .txt file will turn to yellow colour turn off ur phone annd turn on u will see a swapped internal to external sd
note:if the reboot fix is not sucessful ur phone will constantly reboot after the 7th step then u have to uninstall the script manager to solve this
this is how i done all these thanks for all the all orginal developers who found these tweaks

Ok so it finally worked after a few attempts. Do i need to uninstall all my apps and re-install them to get them on the 'external sd' as my 2gb partition is still full

Can we partition the SD card so that some of it appears as external storage and allows apps such as app2sd to move the data stored on the internal storage to move to external storage and free up space that way instead??

i also follow all steps A-D and attempt many times, at last it should be fully successed.run sciptmanager also work.
i open ES file explorer to check sdcard has been swaped. sdcard0=>external sd 16Gb card and sdcard1=>internal 2Gb.
i use link2sd to move some apps to my sdcard 16Gb, but an Warning occurred: "App2SD is not supported by ur device. becoz ur device has a primary external storage which is emulated form the internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to ur SD card."
so i cant move my apps to my sdcard 16Gb. what happen and why?
anybody know whats wrong ???
Plz help me out that problem. thx....

Temporary fix for Internal SD mount in CM11

Hello
Finally i found a way to mount sd partition used in 4.2.2(after 2 hours ) on 4.4.2(cm11)...
So this is the way i do it:
Be sure that your checked ADB Debugging in Developer menu,your phone is recognized in ADB and you have rooted your rom.
Run ADB and tipe this:
Code:
adb root
adb shell
mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p32 /mnt/shell/emulated/0
Symlinks will do the rest.
Then go with any android explorer to /sdcard or /storage/sdcard0 and see if all is good (ye,it will be used for internal sd) Now you have full access to your old 4gb sdcard used in 4.2. (And finally you can download asphalt 8 or any other big game )
The only bug i found is Settings>Storage dont show 4gb,but its there.
Work when connect with computer too No problems with Gplay,camera too.
This is temporary fix,so use it till @varun.chitre15 release kernel with the real fix
You need to repeat this steps after every restart
Please test and report
P.S.- Im using CM11 alpha 2 with ThunderZap 4.1 kernel

Didn't worked on PA BETA 6.

I discovered this few days ago, but I had used /sdcard2 as the new mount point to avoid conflicts with the default path.
Instead of using init.d script the correct way of doing this is replacing all references of /data/media and emulated sdcard with the new block.
I will post a new kernel tomorrow here which will fix the internal storage completely on any android 4.4 ROM

This should work for anyone
1. Create a folder in root say sdcard2
2. Open terminal or shell with root permissions
Then type
Code:
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p32 /sdcard2
Now you can access your true internal storage but only through terminal emulator Here is how
Code:
su
cd sdcard2
ls
This will give you root level access to your storage.

This emulated folders are the method used from sony,I only mount the mmcblk0p32 there to use it for internal sd(not for third sd),so when i mount it there,symlinks do all the rest and you can see it in /sdcard,/storage/sdcard0 and so on
P.S.-Dont know why ,but if you mount it with ADB you will see the files with explorer not only with terminal

Thank you so much

The fact is you can also access the internal storage using ddms from android sdk

Oh hmm yep. BTW for those who don't know what's DDMS

Works completely fine as a separate partition. Now you have the 2GB emulated and 4GB true internal storage completely accessible. Bonus right?
Await my tomorrows release. I am also going to release updated CM with some more fixes of others in thread by @#root or a new thread maybe.
But I have got exams from Tuesday. Will try as hard as possible to release everything tomorrow. Finally got this irritating bug fixed

Works completely fine as a separate partition. Now you have the 2GB emulated and 4GB true internal storage completely accessible. Bonus right?
Await my tomorrows release. I am also going to release updated CM with some more fixes of others in thread by @#root or a new thread maybe.
But I have got exams from Tuesday. Will try as hard as possible to release everything tomorrow. Finally got this irritating bug fixed
Cheers

[KERNEL][Test] KitKat [Fixed Internal SD][TWRP flash from Internal SD]

Hello.
I will be short.
This is test kernel with my work from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51236354&postcount=41
Kernel is purely stock with fix for deep sleep,TWRP recovery with working flash from internal SD and my internal SDcard fix.
Instructions for flash:
1.Flash kernel with Flashtool or fastboot.
2.Flash modules.zip from recovery
Instructions to fix your SD files location:(to see them in /sdcard and /storage/sdcard0) (you need to have root)
First way is with root explorer:
1.Go to /data/media and move all the files and folders without "legacy,obb,0" to /data/media/0
Second way is with terminal:
1.Just tipe:
Code:
su
cd /data/media
mv !(0|legacy|obb) 0
You need to do this once.
If all went well,you will have your 4gb sd back on place.

Modules.zip -> http://www.mediafire.com/download/335zedpjks9i2g6/KitKat+modules.zip
Test and report,please.
Kernel is tested on CM11,but should work on other KitKat roms too.
I am not responsible for bricked devices.Do it at your own risk.
Аll can use my method or ramdisk, just mention me in your thread.

Nice work.

Will the sd internal fix work without flashing the kernel
or should the kernel be there for the commands to work ?
Anyways thanx for your help

The fix lies in ramdisk only or you've done some changes while compiling kernel also?
BTW thanks for one more way fixing storage.

You need to flash it and if you flash other kernel after that you will lose your storage again.

No.All apps and games working fine for me.Only settings>storage dont show correct space,but this is OS bug i think.I will update this kernel today to use /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 as mount point and fuse,because with this recovery(for stock rom) we dont need to use /data/media.This way i think there will be no problems to wipe data or format sd at all

It looks like I'll wait for your update to merge the fix into my kernel as waiting for 1 day isn't a big deal.

Im done with update i think Now i formated /data and /sdcard survive it Will test sdcard format and will upload it.
For recovery: Im using vishal_android recovery for stock rom.Nothing changed there.

Test kernel 2. Changed mount point and fuse to /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 ,so now you need to move files from there to /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0/0
If you moved them on the previous kernel you dont need to do that again.This needs to be done once on the first use of my fix.
Download here:

P.S.- Terminal command is same,just use "cd /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0"
I forgot to say that you can wipe /data without problems now.

Thanks bro Great work!
But isnt there a way to mount the internal storage as the 'REAL' internal storage
i mean make it the storage where we install apps and games and place game data etc !

It is mounted as the real sdcard.I'm using it since one week for apps and games without problems.
But don't use this kernel, I got permissions from varun to add my fix to ThunderZap kernel.Go to official TZ kernel thread and you will find link.

Can you update first post with updated commands now please? I am trying out this fix in my kernel right now. Thanks.
EDIT:
 @siankatabg
I typed these commands, are they correct?
Code:
su
cd /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
mv !(0|legacy|obb) 0

I updated this fix in thunderzap kernel again.Moved mount from fstab to init.sony.rc.Here is what you need to add:
on init add this:
mkdir /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 0700 media_rw media_rw
on fs,after mount_all fstab.sony add this:
# Mount internal SDcard partition.
wait /dev/block/mmcblk0p32
mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p32 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 rw wait
and on sdcard service,change them to this:
service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard -u 1023 -g 1023 -l /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 /mnt/shell/emulated
class late_start
disabled
service fuse_sdcard1 /system/bin/sdcard -u 1023 -g 1023 -d /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 /storage/sdcard1
class late_start
disabled
Im adding init.sony.rc here,so you can compare it with stock one and see whats changed in better way.
And the commands for terminal are:
su
cd /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
mv !(0|legacy|obb) 0
P.S.- Just rename the file.

Yes.If you see all your SD files in /sdcard,all is good.
P.S.2- One more thing.You can swap internal and external SD with simple edit on sdcard service:
service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard -u 1023 -g 1023 -l /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 /mnt/shell/emulated
class late_start
disabled
service fuse_sdcard1 /system/bin/sdcard -u 1023 -g 1023 -d /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 /storage/sdcard1
class late_start
disabled

I don't want to swap
And I must say you've done an awesome job in this method. Can you tell me for what is the 1.5gb partition is used now? I mean the partition which was previously mounted as sdcard0

For nothing i think./data/media is part of /data,so when now its empty this space will be used for your installed apps,libs and so on in /data.

I need bit of your help here bro.
I'm using this method and I can see my files under sdcard0/0 but the problem is that I copied some data under Android/obb folder for paying a game. After I went to sdcard0 through es file explorer shortcuts, I failed to delete obb folder but when I went to sdcard0 by navigating to mnt/media_rw/sdcard0/0. It deleted successfully. Is there any reason? The game for which I copied the data for also kept force closing. Also when I type those commands that you gave for moving data, they keep giving me errors like TWRP isn't empty and no such file or directory.

I already stated on how to mount obb directory correctly in TZ kernel thread. Take a look at this post.
