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.

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

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

Man, can you explain what happen when waiting the creation of the patch? Because when I open the .exe it says to me find the .apk, ok, I find it and I click to open and the window is closed.. I want to know if that's it? or something else should happen? tks!

One of two reasons
1. Have you put the data at the right place? should be /sdcard/gameloft
that refers to the SGS2's internal memory, not the actual removable sdcard
2. The data is corrupt or needs an update
you need to put the data to /sdcard/gameloft/games/Gloft????. The question marks is the shortform of the game for example Asphalt 6 is "GloftA6HP" and UNO is "GloftUNOG". Try your luck.
Thank's for reply all......
to viva.fidel: i put to this directory: /sdcard/gameloft/games....(because i see all the game folder is there.... in SGS2's internal memory.
to ghkoo:maybe bcoz of that....try it....
any suggestion where can find the HD games?
Hi!
First, I would like to thank all the forum members. I managed to root my Galaxy Ace 2 easily and I learned how to use Directory Bind to play my games without any memory limitations!
But Modern Combat 4 can't be downloaded, and I don't know why. When I try to download the game from the Google Play Store, a 498 error notification appears. Apparently, the 498 error indicates that there isn't enough memory available on the phone. It seems that Google Play Store also downloads the .obb files (the big files) directly, not only the little .apk file. Where does Google Play download the .obb files? I know that the .apk files are downloaded in the /cache folder, but no clue about the .obb files.If I knew the .obb download folder, I would be able to create a symlink, directing them to my SD Card (Class 10). I also read about the /cache partition size. If the .obb files are downloaded in the /cache partition, is there any way of extending it?
Thanks!
Just get the apk and data from apkmania

It is better to use swap rather than directory bin. Actually I never use directory bin because swap itself already convenient
The process of swap is only root -> copy the modified vold.fstab to /etc via root explorer or other explorers -> make it read only -> reboot
But please make sure that vold.fstab is for your current os because vold.fstab for gb and jb are different
To know whether you are successful or not is by looking on the usb storage, it should shown your sd card capacity

I finally fixed the issue swaping the internal and external SD partitions. Thanks for your help!
Hello guys!
I am trying to make my own ROM for my LG G3 DUAL. (because i did not find any flash-able custom rom for my device). I had made a flash-able kitkat rom by coping system folder to internal memory by using "root explorer" application and it was working fine. :victory:
Now i have been switched to lollipop and tried same method of coping system folder. But after coping some files, it says that "data copy failed". I have tried other root file managers like "ES file explorer" but they did the same.
Please any one help me to solve my problem. Thanks in advance!
plz help..
i recently flash an unofficial ROM.. cyanogenmod 12.1-20150829-UNOFFICIAL-lt01wifi android 5.1.1 on my tab 3 8.0(SM-T310)..
i found that now my internal storage is wright-protected or something like that.. i am unable to download any file from internet or files from bluetooth or from my pc. Even to make a new folder, i have to grant root access to file manager.. can anyone help me, changing any permissions or flash any file so that i could use my internalSD...
plzz helpppp..
