Thats odd, I also have the Tab 2 7, I will try apps 2sd when I get home and see if I have the same issue
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,
just wanted to ask whether one of the Moto G users here could test whether a 2.5" external hard disk without own power supply works with USB OTG on the Moto G. (I can use, for example, my SGS2 with an external disk, but it has to have a power supply because the USB port doesn't deliver enough current.)
Thanks in advance!

I use my WD 1TB hdd with a OTG cable sooo, yeah i guess it works (im on pink kernel)
I have a 2 tb seagate external hard disk(2 TB Seagate EXPANSION 3.5 inch, uses external power source). It doesn't show in the phone. Actually, the device is connecting (a blue notification will light up in the hard disk), but it doesn't work. I have read somewhere that it will not work on NTFS file system, without root . So, I shrunk the hard disk and created a partition with fat32 file system. Still, it doesn't show on the phone. Any ideas?

Your fat32 partition should be primary partition.try covert with primary partition then check.

yes it can work without root and you can connect ntfs external hdd.....just install both "total commander" and "USB plugin for Total Commander" from google play and it will work
my WD elements 500gb(ntfs) connect fine

Thanks. It works. I came to realize that this functionality is available with ES file explorer. Whenever, I try to access the disk, the application is closing unexpectedly. I couldn't make it work in ES. Is there any space limitation for that? I am trying to load a 2tb drive. It works fine with total commander though.

you can only access ntfs with total comander but if you root your phone then there is few apps on google play which will alow any file manager to open ntfs hdd...if not rooted i guess your only choice is total commander for now.
edit if your hdd is fat32 or exfat then es file manager can access it.

I posted this info in a facebook group and a few of the members are claiming that they are able use ES to mount the NTFS drive. Unfortunately, I couldn't do the it. The app is getting stopped and the drive is unmounted while accessing the NTFS partition. Anyway, NTFS file system is supported in ES(I checked their commit messages). I use ES a lot, it will be convenient if I could make it work.
thanks for your help

Can u then actually tell me how they are able to because i dont know how
cutting to the chase, im looking for a way to install my apps data and if possible apk files to a otg micro usb flashdrive (its a flash drive that has a micros usb conection that plugs directly into our phones micro usb port.) So far im able to read and write data to it in the sense that i can browse movie files music ect from the usb drive.
What i want to do is to be able to download a app from playstore and it installs automatically to the otg drive.
I tried foldermount and thats fairly inconvenient in the sense i have to first download file to phones internal storage THEN link it to my otg drive, this process is time consuming and irritating for my purposes.
Ive looked into link2sd but its telling me i dont have a 2nd partiton on my otg flash drive, but ive used eauseus partition manager and did that (made a ext 4 , also tried ext 3, partition as part of the overal 16gb flash drive) and no go.
i know this is possible on a custom rom as i did this with a micro sd card many android phones ago.
quick specs on my device
completed stock rooted and bootloader unlocked
latest busybox and su binaries.
no exposed modules or custom kernel.
8gig x1032 singe sim version
any suggestions be my guest.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me finding a way of mounting /storage/usbdisk/ as sdcard.
I am using CyanogenMod 11 Nightly.
The problem is, the usb disk works almost ideally - Reads audio and video from it with no problem, but when I want to move
obb/data or other app data ( iGO navigation ) to it, it just doesn't read it.
I tried this solution
but I was wondering if it is possible to mount whole usbdisk as sd card, like the phones with SD Card slot do.
I tried mounting /storage/usbdisk/ to /storage/sdcard/ and /storage/sdcard1/ and /storage/emulated/1/
none of those helped.
Thanks in advance.

Firstly when you go in settings storage/ ad scroll down with your usb storage plugged in does it show the free space on that device n the storage settings? if yes
all you need is the pro version of foldermount
Apk is on playstore forum support/ user guide for it is just a xda search away
Im using it on the experience rom for the moto g x1032 8 gig sngle sim version.
ive so far tested asphalt 8 which is about 2 gigs of data once installed. I created a android folder on my usb storage and withing the android folder i created a data and a /obb folder
i then linked those folders.......youll get what im saying when you go to the foldermount thread here on xda.
