Want to save precious internal SD space on your already small internal SD device? OBB on SD lets you play your games and not worry about large game data files taking up space on your internal SD..... I found a thread with the module here --> OBB on SD Thread
Doesn't the stock move to sd already do this?

No. Stock only moves the game or app. Not the obb file which I think is usually a larger data file for the app

Yes! OBB file is way different and larger than the apk. It usually hold information for apps like games with lots of graphics and artworks etc.... So installing alot of games would max out the small capacity internal SD in the device. OBB to SD solves that problem

Hi. I don't have a Wi-Fi and sometimes when I want a game I install the apk and download the data files from the computer.
For example, I installed Asphalt 6 and placed the data files in Android>Data, but the game still wants to download over 500mb of files. I tried both in the phone and on the SD card. And yes, I follow instructions as to where to put the files (some games need to be placed in Data, others in Obb file)
Also, how can I keep data files on SD card (games like GTA Vice City only want to install on the phone and I cannot move them on the SD card).
Please suggest some possible solution, bearing in mind that I do not have root. Maybe I will root someday, but not now.
Are you sure you placed the data in the right folder? For moving apps to the SD card use AppMgr III.

Yes, I double chedked the folder. And I have App2SD Pro.
The internal storage in my xperia l is nearly full.
And I want to use link2sd to increase the memory.
But whatever I partition the sd card to ext2,3 or Fat32 it would cause the boot loop until I remove the sd card:crying::crying:
Does anyone have the solution?
The sd card is Kingston 32GB C10.
Thanks for your answers!
You can use FolderMount app from market to move the biggest files in sd-card,like gameloft game data.I got 6gb of game data in sd-card and im playing games without problem(and my internal is on 30%).

Why don't you check my thread . it'll help you will all your memory problems.
if you still have any query, do ask me.
Link2sd isn't a very good way of linking memory.
You can use titanium backup to move apps in sdcard by force.

you can use script to move app to sd card...it is easier and not using much ram and you don't need to partition sd card to use it

I tried to use FoulderMount to move apps to sd card.
But it could only move application data, not all of it.
And I couldn't find "how to use titanium backup to move apps " in your thread.
Thanks for answering.

Yes, folder mount is made to transfer data especially for games which have game data in Gbs or Mbs. So if your game application is 24mb and game data of 2gb, you can move only 2gb data but not 24mb with folder mount.
You can check app2sd which moves app to SD card if application supports.Check it at Google play.
Titanium backup requires root(hack) to work. If your phone's rooted, you can transfer app to SD regardless if it is supported by application or not.

I use this on my xperia l (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368262) it uses script and only run on startup...it is better than link 2 sd becouse link 2 sd run all the time and uses more ram and you will encounter lag in big games such as modern combat 4 and gangstar vegas...the script mount your sd card as internal memory and internal memory as sd card and it is also woking on latest xperia l firmware (android 4.2.2)
Is there any app that can move installed apps into memory card(extSdCard)? I tried appmgr III and Links2SD but they dont work.I want more free space in internal memory

1) wrong thread
2)many apps comes with an option to b transferred to ext sd card,whereas some don't ... It completely depends on developer..
Incase u r not rooted,u can only shift those apps to extsd which comes with an option to do so(also note that widgets won't work if app is installed on extsd),to do so go to settings - app manager - on sd card,then check all the apps that don't have a tick next to them,they can be moved
incase u r rooted,u can force any app to sd card,try force2sd or similar app from play store

Don't bother forcing apps to SD just use folder mount and mount the data/odd folder to the SD card keeps apk where it should be and moves large files to SD card mounting the folder to it's original position works well bit slow for me as I'm on an older 32gb memory card I'm upgrading to the sandisk extreme plus 64gb card ordering tomorrow anyway my point being internal SD quick standard SD slow make sure you have a fast enough card or you will get long loading times and possible lag

Like some phone have an option to choose external or internal sd as default.
well i can use foldermount but it only mounts folder. what if you want to download a game which is 1.5 gb on play store and you have
1 gb free or maximum internal storage then you can never download that game form playstore. so can any one tell me how to exchange internal sd with external. i am using sony xperia e3 d2212 rooted and unlocked bootloader.

I have the same probleme, I want to play The Wolf Among Us but the whole game takes more than 1.5 Go :-/
I'm sorry but I can't help you ^^'
so if someone find a solution, tell it !
Seems like nohow. LOL. It appears by now that switching memory is NOT an option, so all those, suffering, use FOLDERMOUNT app!

as much as i know this can be done using text editor to edit System/etc/vold.fstab
but i don,t know how.
Perhaps we can unmount the internal SD, so that Android only sees the external SD and uses it for all.
The internal SD could be used to extend system memory or as temporary space, swap partition?
I don't know good about Linux. So perhaps it's not possible.
Sony claims that they unified the data partition (where all apps are stored) with the user partition. So I don't know if it is THAT easy to unmount the internal storage. One trick, though, that is around for a bit of time is to swap the mount destination in /system/etc/vold.fstab.

playstore problem is not fixed but i wanna tell you don,t waste your time on app,s that have to mount data like gl to sd or foldermount do
use obb to sd xposed module you just have to copy obb to external sd apps can dettect it. you can have obb in internal or exernal just by copying no need to mount.
and i am still waiting for a solution of playstore if anyone know how to make xposed mdules please make a module to force playstore to detect external sd card free space and download additional obb files to external sd.
partiotion
You should see this link http://rootmyandroid.org/increase-internal-memory-phone.html
This works for me, still like a charm

Click here I created a simple guide
it's very easy
You can do it by obb on sd ( xposed. Module)

Hi, some games don't like being moved on to SD as I found in my experience (I don't know why) but for the WhatsApp folder you can move the app to your SD card by using Link2SD from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326
I did used link to SD to move WhatsApp and this message appeared :
And folder mount didn't work for me at all , I tried several games but no luck.
