How to link folder to real folder?

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?
thanks!
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.

GL to SD not working???

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...
Note 2 N7100 with OMEGA ROM
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?
I own Lava iris 406q , till some days back i was able to use gl to sd properly and suddenly after updating asphalt 8 to latest version , everything stopped working and now my gl to sd is not able to read external sd card , even though i have full root access , can any1 help here

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)

Folder mount is working for me you have to clone the directory first and then move the data to the cloned directory

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

Can you post a screenshot of your permissions in a root browser like ROM Toolbox or a similar one? I'm curious what it says.

Weird. What did you use to format the SD card?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
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:

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

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.
