[Completed] problem in installing game on Tab (possible vold issue) - XDA Assist

Ok this is a china Tab and a while back i was trying to set up the extsd as the main storage using an app that altered the voldstab ..
now when there is an sd inserted it states Extsd 0.00 total space 0.00 available .. and when i unmount sd card it unmounts the sd (internal)
the issue is im trying to install a game it downloads the game 400mb from playstore then when open it states that the game needs required assets 168mb more storage space .... on the sd (internal there is over 9gb of space left)
i think something has switched or messed up but unsure so rather than mess about further im asking you guys here ..
i have attached screen shots of the storage
and of the vold 2.0 fstab
this is the Tab info
Device : wing-ibt
Display : A20_K1001_K1001L1B_ZX.20131213
Fingerprint : softwinners/wing_ibt/wing-ibt:4.2.2/JDQ39/20131212:eng/test-keys
Host : supperFAE
ID : JDQ39
Model : MID
Product : wing_ibt
EDIT: i think i may have used directorybind somewhere along the line of messing about .. i havent used the tab for while ... i am giving it away to someone and only came across the issue whilst they were trying to install wwe supercard game ..( i tried the apk + data / obb file route) but that got me the same result when opening the game)
If there's any other info i can give you to help a little info on how to gather this then i will thanks for your help..

ok i fixed the issue with installing the game ... i downloaded it from amazon appstore (through amazon underground app) rather than Google play and it installed ok and installed the other required assets in the background ??? weird ?? but the issue with storage is confusing the system internal storage is now nearly full and i have moved the amazon underground app to the sd card which was 400+mb which i presume was the game files as the actual wwe game apk in the app manager is only 30/40 mb (cant remember off the top of me head) but the SD card is still 9gb ish and the extsd is 0.00 and there's an option for usb storage which blanked with mount text underneath ...... so any help would be really appreciated ....
thanks

sorry myy friend the answer is no. your device will first download the filee in a temp file till it is completed downloading. then it moves the file from the temp file to memory card.
if you ppc doesn't have enough space in device memory to complete download the message you talk about will show.
move some files to your storage card (such as your pictures and stuff) to free up space and then download
moving some files from int storage would prob not be enough if the phone
only have 40MB total and he want to dl a 80MB file
i have alot of stuff installed and 80 megs free..... his other option would be to download on his computer and transfer.
i know they is a way to change the location of the "temporary internet files" but i don't know if this is the same.
Had this problem once myself. Don't know which rom you're using right now, but if you have wm5 wm6 or wm6.1 (the only ones I've tried it on), you can download the program Advanced configurations at, http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-advanced-configuration-tools-v2-0-2-0.html (use this version if you are running wm5 0r wm6 and don't have netframework 3.5 installed) OR http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-advanced-configuration-tool.html ( the newer version for wm5, wm6 and wm6.1 this version requires you to install net framework 3.5 on your device if you don't already have it. This is the one I currently use and love.) . Load the program and go to the Locations folder and just put "\storage card" for the default location of your internet explorer cache. I put storage card for all the default storage locations and internet explorer options (cache at least, cookies and history just to make a clean sweep of it as most people like having these things in one specific location to look at). I have no problems now as no temporary files are stored on the device itself hogging up it's somewhat limited space. Hope this helps.

To do this, you will need to root for one thing. Your phone also may not be able to handle this game. I'd suggest heading over to the development forum for your phone here on xda. But once you obtain root, you still may be unable to do this.

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...

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)

[Q] N7000 displaying full memory and wrong total internal memory

Hi folks at XDA!
My name is Erich And I have a N7000 (first gen Galaxy Note).
I have it rooted and although it is a 16GB device, it is showing just 10.9 GB of internal memory when I plug it to the PC via USB.
But this is not the major problem. The major problem is that it is displaying full memory (2GB total) even after a factory reset and installing a just the super optimizer app.
I´ve tried to use odin with the 16GB .PIT file but it didn´t helped.
I´ve tried to format it to ext 4 with Phil-z CWM and I can´t boot it past CWM anymore. Later today, I´ll try to install the original ROM file from sammobile.
Can someone please help me mainly with the memory problem?
Thanks!
Does anyone have any ideas please?

go into settings > storage > normally you will get Internal phone storage at about 2 GB and Internal SD card at about 13.43 GB ( when it is having a 16 GB embedded SD card)
your 16 GB embedded SD card has many hidden partitions, so usable storage space will be reduced.
what you can do is copy all the contnts of your SD card to your PC and than format it by settings > storage> format to get back full space.
to learn more about storage look at My Storage ( link below)

Thanks man! This is what I get when I do as you told:
device memory
- total space: 1.97 GB
- apps: 402 MB
- Available space: 1.56 GB
USB Storage
- Total Space 11.08 GB
- Apps: 86.12 MB
- Images, videos: 1.53 MB
- Audio: 32 KB
- Other Files: 172 MB
- Available Space: 10.88 GB
Keep in mind that I did a factory reset this weekend and formated everything via PhilZ CWM.
The real problem with all this is that the avaiable ROM goes full with just few apps like Waze, WhatsApp, gApps and such. I used to install lots of apps with no problems, but now this space goes up real fast.
Anyway, I will play with it again after the format/ factory reset.
Thanks for the info. I´ll try to update the info as it goes.
And it happened again.
It was ok yesterday, with 1.5 GB free yesterday and today it is full. The last thing I've installed was any.do and any.do Cal. But those were about 5 days ago.
All the movable Apps are in the external SD
All pictures were deleted too.
All I've intalled is:
- Super optimizer;
- tinder
- swift key
- skype
- waze
- WhatsApp
Root apps:
- root checker
- Super User
- Super SU
- PhilZ CWM
So, again I ask again the good people at XDA:
Does anyone have any Idea of what's happening?
thanks in advance
I am still having this problem.
I can´t update any app because the ROM isn´t enough for the action. Can someone please help me?
What ROM are you using?, and also which recovery do you have?
