[APP] Gameloft Game Data on External_sd

Hi all, I'm really sorry if this has already been posted anywhere but I could not find it so I thought I'd share it hoping it was useful for someone. This is a windows application that will take your Gameloft HD .apk files and patch them so that the downloaded game data will be stored and read from your external SD on your Galaxy S. It has saved me a lot of grief chopping and changing SD data for games depending on what I wanted to play as I bought about a dozen Gameloft HD games but could only fit the data for a select few on my internal SD.
Tested working on my SGS so far: -
Real Football 2011
Asphalt 6
Assassins Creed
Avatar
Dungeon Hunter
Dungeon Hunter 2
Eternal Legacy
Fast 5
Gangstar Miami Vindication
Hero Of Sparta
Lets Golf
Lets Golf 2
Modern Combat 2
Nova
Nova 2
Rainbow 6 Shadow Vanguard
Sacred Odyssey
Sandstorm
Shadow Guardian
Spiderman Total Mayhem
Splinter Cell Conviction
Star Front Collision
The Settlers HD
It changes the path within the game from /sdcard/gameloft/games/ to /sdcard/external_sd/Gl/ so all you need to do is either download the game data again or move it into the Gl folder on your external SD card.
I did not write this, a fella named Duero over on 4pda.ru made it but the site is all in Russian so I thought it would be useful here. If it has already been posted or anyone has any objections to me posting it then please let me know rather than flame me.

asphalt 5 HD 3.1.9 and gt racing motor academy 3.1.1 works great too on my SGS.

Help?
Total noob here...could you please give me some instructions?

This is not working dude

Works fine for me. Simply download the attached file then:
1. Run the file
2. Select the .apk file of the Gameloft game you wish to patch
3. Wait a while as it decompiles the .apk, edits the files and then recompiles it
4. Save the new .apk file somewhere
5. Transfer the .apk file to your phone and install
Simple

ThanX Man .. ThanX

Thanks a lot.It works, as explained.

It needs to be put in a folder on your external_sd called GL, so your folder structure will look like - external_sd\Gl\*Game Name*
Works a treat on my phone and many others

For those like me that aren't on Windows, there is also another method (by script) : [HOWTO] to Gamers: dirty workaround to have Gameloft files on external_sd, by lunasea
lunasea said:
Looked around, and the only workaround I've found was a crack that opens the game apk and changes the download destination directory. Well, I wasn't very comfortable in using this, and it only worked on some games.
So I configured the following "dirty" workaround, I know it's not perfect, but it resolved my problem so I decided to share here.
Basically I've moved gameloft directory from sdcard to external_sd and created a bind mount point called gameloft on sdcard pointing to external_sd. This has the problem that you can only mount that bind point before using the gameloft games, because if you keep it mounted and use storage usb you'll have problems mounting sdcard.
So I've created two scripts - one to mount it, another to unmount it -, and using script manager created a shortcut (actually is a script manager widget) to both scripts on my screen. Whenever I want to use/install gameloft games I mount it, and in the end dismount the bind.
Additional steps for gamming, but restored my sdcard space and now I can use my 16G external sd for that files. Note that if your external card is slow, the game load will be slower.

first of all this is not working i keep getting random apk's even when i keep placing same one it changes whole game.from star front 2 i got avatar and gangstar miami.2. i use galaxy sl and my direction is /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/ so i guess it wont work.

That should work fine, I'm really not sure why its not working for you. Are you trying to replace the apk files once they're patched or saving them in a different directory? All I did was save the apk files I wanted to patch in one directory, load the patcher and patch 1 file then save the new file in a different directory then just repeat the process. I'm not sure if you need to have java installed on your pc and its directory set up in the system paths option but it all worked for me

i open up patcher(i do have java installer) select Star_Front_Collision_HD_Samsung_GTi9000_Galaxy_S_dj and then ok after some time i get sucsesfully patched but i get some random gameloft games not the one i placed in patcher(selected),btw isnt full directory /mnt/sdcard/sxternal_sd/GL snd not without /mnt/ directory i use galaxy sl.

@bigdyl69 & all others;
hi anybody can upload their game data? i already have the apk's but its requiring to download the game using wifi-idont have wifi-i use only 3g...anybody. thanks

works with my SGS i9003
..yey! ..tnx a lot!
..works with my SGS i9003.
..works on: sandstorm, brothers in arms 2, gangstar: west coast hustle, shrek kart ..and will be adding more!!!!!
tips:
..download link above to your pc..works with my win 7.
..be patient while the auto.patch is generating the patched apk until it gives u the option to save it..give it maybe 30-60sec.
..folder should be in this format: "/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Gl"
..make sure folder is allredy created before installing the game(apk patched)
..you could use either already downloaded game data or redownload again once you open the game.
..tnx a lot and very nice work with the link and guide and also the creator,, DUERO! haha! good job!!!!

@hailmary

PSXperia questions

ok guys thanks for all the insight
figured out how to do it
now MY biggest question he he
i installed gran tur 2 successfully everything works great
now anyone tried to use a game save? downloaded from the net
i downloaded this
can i make it work somehow
better yet if you save a game using the native emulator
where does it get saved to? internal or sd? and where is it ?
dam it i read that its under save and its either 0.raw or 1.raw
but everytime that i take the game save i uploaded and rename it to 0.raw or 1.raw i tried it on ff7 this time i tried to load the save it says "want to format it now" and it doesnt work

- Copy your apk first
- Install the apk
- Copy the data folder
- Run the game
- Preferences.xml will be generated
- Now you can edit it
Dont edit the preferences in the Carsh Bandicoot folder, as this will obviously edit the preferences for Crash Bandicoot
You want to edit preferences.xml for the game you wish to change preferences for. eg If you have 5 games installed, there will be 5 different preferences.xml, each stored in the corresponding directory.
Image convertor is nice, but all i do is open my picture up in paint, resize to 170 x 170 then save as a .png
Simple as hell

For trouble free just copy com. Sonystation. NxcaXXXXX_1 to sd/Android /data
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?

thanks guys for all the help

I've done 5 games, all work perfectly. I generated the apk and zpak data, copied the apk from my computer to sd card, and copied the data to the android/data/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX folder. Install the apk then run it and it should work fine.

Install apk from sdcard using your internet browser

What if you need to install an apk from sdcard but you don't have a file manager installed yet, and to make things worse you don't have internet access to download it from the market!
Well, there's a solution to that. Provided by every internet browser available.
(I suppose you have one installed
Here's what you need to do:
1. Put the apk file in the main directory your sdcard. Rename it to something very short for easy typing. In this example, I will use "fm.apk".
2. Boot your device. Goto Security Settings and check "Unknown Sources".
3. Open your internet browser. In the address bar type "file:///sdcard/<filename>.apk".
In our example above it should look like this: "file:///sdcard/fm.apk"
4. Press "Go".
That's it! Installation started!

Did you follow exactly as instructed? What's the filename of the file? where did you put it? what did you type in the address bar? Sorry for the late resply

Nice to know new things, I made ES file xplorer to esfilex.apk then it says play online it works. Now I can install a filemanager if a rom doesn't have one.
Thanks

You could also do
adb install /sdcard/name.apk
If you were feeling like a pro.

Or, instead of trying to remember browser commands or adb commands, just skip all of this madness and grab a flashable .zip that contains a file manager! ~
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills over here, kids.
If you don't have a flashable file manager, just grab the one I made on the WildChild ROM thread (Post #1). Copy the .zip to your SD Card. Done. Don't ever worry about flashing a ROM without a file manager ever again.

I will give this a try.Looks interesting

Danceoff, this is for people who are trying to PREPARE for flashing ROMs on the fly. Ie. They have access to market, file explorer etc NOW but won't LATER when they actually do the flash.
I don't have service right now so my phone is basically a tiny tablet, and I'm a flash-a-holic. i flash ROMs on break at work, on the bus, etc. This is very handy for me. Thank you.

something new!

Asphalt 7 HD Tegra Mod for S3 / special effects

Want something brilliant on your S3 playing Asphalt 7 HD, here you go,,
Want Tegra 3 effects , high maps and no lag - use the folder "highmaps_tegra3_30frames"
Want no Tegra / no high maps / not at all any lag!, use the folder "lowmaps_full_60_frames"
HOW:
Use root explorer or like that and go to your SDcard and then folder "Android\obb\com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM'
Copy "main.100.com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM.obb" to PC
Rename "main.100.com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM.obb" to "main.100.com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM.zip"
Open it in winzip/winrar etc. and overwrite two files at their original locations i.e. "DeviceConfig.xml" and "Gamma.txt" from the respective folders at attached.
Compression should be "Store" - remember that!!
Rename "main.100.com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM.zip" back to "main.100.com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM.obb"
Overwrite this file back on your phone. And here you go, enjoy!!!!!
Note:
For Tegra 3, you would need Chainfire3D and NVIDIA plugin
game should be playstore version (paid)

[GUIDE] how to send one phones game data into another

Most games ask you to download additional data like talking tom2,and also obb data like dead trigger,asphalt8 etc but obb data exceeds 100mb not all the people have wifi connection some migth have only mobile like me data if you have a game that you want in another mobile but dont know how to get that mobile game data into yours then go on reading,so this is how it goes
REQUIRMENTS
two mobiles,one with the game and data and one which you want the game in
I have galaxy tab 2 with dead trigger1 and nokia x(in which i want dead trigger)
for sending obb
1.take galaxy tab and send dead trigger apk into the x
2.install the apk its just 9mb and open it says connect to the internet
3.close the game open any file explorer I use es file explorer in the galaxy tab
4.go to android then obb you see a folder for dead trigger
5.then in nokia x make the folder obb only if you dont have and also the dead trigger folder just as same in tab
6.then in the tab if you open the dead trigger folder you can see only one file with the same folder name send it to the nokia x its some 180mb
7.then cut and paste the file to the daed trigger folder you made
8.then close the explorer and open the game just connect to internet once
9.it just recognizes the files and opens
10.your work is done enjoy the cool game
FOR DATA
its easy for obb but when it comes to data it becomes difficult take talking tom ig you go to android then data go to talking tom 2 folder u can see a thousand files if you follow the first method for this ,making folder sub folder etc etc it would take days so lets do it simpler
1.send the talking tom 2 apk to nokia x from tab
2.install its just 15mb
3.every knows that you cant send a whole folder through bluetooth or any way
4.this is where es file explorer comes into action make a zip of the talking tom 2 folder
5.send it to the x then open talking tom 2 app your work is still not done it shows connect to internet
6.close app and open es file explorer go to the zip of talking tom 2 u sent from tab
7.extract the zip then open it it has a folder with the same name of the zip in it
8.cut and paste it in android/data
9.then open the app from app drawer
10.have the fun
DONT SAY EVERY ONES KNOWS IT THIS MIGTH HELP THOSE WHO DONT KNOW
FAQ
1.does this require root
A.no
2.which android version is required
A.migth work on every version it depends upon the game
3.EVERY ONE KNOWS THIS
A. not everyone only most people know it migth help others who dont know

Asphalt8
I did this method to asphalt 8 but only the first 214 mb are added and show me that I have to dowbload additional 577 mb I am using gt-i9082 I coped the data from samsung note3
What is the problem?

Use helium
Use helium backup, and backup the game to SD, put the SD in the other phone And then download helium on your other phone and restore(download the game first on your other phone before restoring.)
