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)

I have a samsung galaxy young s6312, stock android 4.1.2, rooted.
Now I know that i can move apps to sd card with the help of directory bind, link2sd, etc.
But i have only 300 MB free internal memory & I want to download Asphalt 7(1.13 GB)
So I dont even have enough free internal memory to download the game first and then move it to sd card.
I want to save the app data DIRECTLY to my external sd card, as I do not have enough free internal memory to download it to my internal memory.
Plz give me a detailed answer as I am a noob here (just got my first Android a month ago )
Plz help me as I want to play that game very much...............................................
Did you figure it out? I got the same issue.
Well, ayuro123, if u have got the same device as mine (GT s6312), with android 4.1.2 and your device as rooted, then you might try out these steps:
1. Format your external sd card with FAT32.
2. Copy everything on your INTERNAL sd card to your EXTERNAL sd card. You can use any file manager. I might recommend using stock one. This step is necessary, else you will run into problems with your apps.
3. Go to this link and follow the video tutorial:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf2n1LweU2c&desktop_uri=/watch?v=Mf2n1LweU2c
4. If u want the external sd card to be replaced with internal one permanently, then after following all the steps in the video, just click the 'At boot if init.d' button(after pressing the external>internal button). If u do not do this, then the swap will go away after you reboot.
Now, I might recommend you to have a Nandroid backup ready, in case anything goes wrong.
Also, if u cant have a nandroid backup, then I will recommend you to have stock rom and odin ready on your pc, in case you get stuck in a boot loop or any other ugly thing.
NOTE:
I haven't myself tried it. A friend of mine told me, who has tried it without any problems. TRY this IF and ONLY if you have a samsung galaxy young s6312 running stock android 4.1.2.
I use gl to sd, is an app to transfer all data app to sdcard but you need to install in the sdcard first
Hi all,
On my 4.4.2 Samsung SM-G355h, and since few monthes, i could no more move any of my apps to the external SD card.
These are symptoms:
One folder on the SD card, called Android, can not be deleted, no matter what's the way i try to do it (directrly from the phone, from computer through USB, putting the SD card on other phone ... )
Some time, I could not delete nor move any file on the SD card. I have to restart the phone, and to do it on the first few seconds of the system start up.
On the apps list, and when i look into the apps proprieties, the system could not get the size of the apps. It remains "loading"
When i try to move an application to SD card, the system remains hours with the indication: "moving to SD Card" and nothing happens.
I have tried to reset my phone and then download and reinstall all apps. Same problem.
So, can any one tell me how to fix this problem ?
Thanks

First it could be update related/flash related.
Some versions of stock firmwares contains weird "bootloader" stuffs that prevents rw access to sdcard even if u install the sdCardFix for KK. Sometime it works sometimes not.
And the second is you have to have SdCard KitKatWorkground enabled.
Check : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/help/copy-to-ssd-samsung-galaxy-core-2-sm-t3033178.
The /Android folder on extSdCard contains /data and /obb files that have been moves/installed to sdCard, if u delete the folder, U won't be able to run the app from your phone !

To start off, I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) SM-J320FN. I've rooted it, but I'm not sure whether that is relevant to the thread or not. Anyways, the problem I have is I want to move EVERY SINGLE FILE off of an app I downloaded off of google play and move it into my SD card. I've downloaded Max Payne Mobile (for nostalgia,) which in turn (due to the J3's pathetic 8gb internal storage) caused me to delete most of my apps that I already had, strange thing is I've moved those apps to my SD card using AppMgr III (or App2SD) and I wonder why it asked it to delete something in my SD card so that it can install on my internal storage. I download and installed Max Payne, then I try to move it to my SD card using AppMgr III and it says that only 25 mb (ish) of the game can be moved to the SD card, despite the game being well over 1 gigabyte.
So I need to know how I can either move ALL my app files into the SD card or set google play to install directly to the SD card (I've heard that you can do it using Terminal Emulator by giving it SuperUser and typing something along the lines of PM set_main_storage2, I've tried that but it never worked)
Thanks in advance for your help. :good:
Hey man, if you figure out how to download on SD Card hit me up, although mine is formatted as internal.
