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)

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.

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.

Hmm, I haven't seen that message before
Whenever I try to copy or move files from my phone memory to the SanDisk external storage , the copying process gets failed halfway.
My phone memory is about to be full and I need to move some files onto the SD card.
Why is this happening? Please help!.
IM USING A XIAOMI MI A1 RUNNING ON ANDROID 8.0.0
I am also not sure about this. One thing you can try switch off your phone and then on again. This might help you.
It seems to me that your phone hasn't enough available RAM to complete the task. You could try just use a PC to do the transfer until you figure out what's causing the phone to fail during the process.
Another option would be a safeboot.
Another option I should have started with , would another file explorer to copy it over to the sdcard
Sorry if none of this is useful
Does your SD card have enough room available? Are the files to copy too big? ......
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.
