Hi guys this new games are driving me crazy. New Nova data file is almost 2GB and other new games are not better. And well I am loving at so much I got new 64GB Micro SD card only to find myself in a trouble, all games save data file in internal storage. Now I tried to go to manage programs and select move to SD Card and only thing it did is moved actual game .like 5 mb and not data folder. So my question is this. Can I just manually move data folders from internal storage to external or I need to use program or setting .....I want to use my new 64GB SD card as main data storage for all games , what do I do ? I am on new rooted ICS with Darkside Evolution 3 beta 1
Thanks !
Noone knows or this is so obvious as copy from internal to external that noone want to even drop a line in here
I have 2 mb left on my internal card ...... HEEELP Thx
I'm in the same exact boat! I'd like to know also.
Yeah I can't imagine something like this is not widely discussed and not actually right in the settings. I do see copy to SD in settings of Applications but it looks like all it does is copy of original install files and not data file, come on guys open this huge secret on how to use external SD for all game cache cause Nova 3 is just killing me .........
Dear All,
I rooted my s4 mini and installed a stable CM rom.
After a while a realised that the SD card was not recognised, I could not move apps to it!
after playing a bit I found out that there are 2 SD cards: the first one is a partition of the 8gb internal storage,
the second is the physical one!
So my guess now is that, if I manage to format the internal storage I will get rid of this partition.
So my questions are: am I right? is there anybody else with the same problem? how do I format the
internal storage? will that work?
Thanks in advance for any help!
its not a problem its the way it is, stock behave the same way 2 sdcard, one emulated (sdcard0) and one external sdcard (extsdcard),
y use folder mount to "redirect" all folders I want to the ExtSDCard (32 gb class 10), moved all obb files, music, downloads, pictures, documents etc, never had space problems, once I had installed fifa13, batman dark night, nova , maxpayne, asphalt 7 and asphalt 8, thats easy 6gb only in games all working flawless
Hi and thank you for helping,
I still don't know how to mount and redirect all folders I want on the external one.
In principle the SD card is mounted I can see it and the content with file explorer but I can't move apps with app2SD
I don't really know what to do!
In any case thanks a lot

Well, I have suffered already. I have rooted my phone yesterday, so I could enjoy those pro huge games like NFSMW, MC and others which I bought this mobile for, but major problem is with storage, I can't move them to SD card using folder mount and such APPs..
I rooted my mobile and used SD fix to make it writtable and all of those process succeeded, but still when I use ES Explorer or any manager, I see all folders in "Android" is empty, so when I move NFSMW to SD, it moves like 250 KB folder only. I can't get access to 2.01 GB file, so I can move it...
So in cool and sweet, how can I get access to those large files in "Android" folder so I can move them to SD card? Help me, please. I am really tired of my phone..

I'm new to the Android OS.
As an experiment I tried to side-load a game by installing the APK and copying the OBB to the sd card (android\obb).
When running the game the game fails but if I copy the OBB to the phone the game loads just fine.
I also tried moving the game to the SD through Application manager and clearing the data before running it again but same problem.
Not sure if it's relevant but my phone is not rooted.
What am I doing wrong? I saw that all games have instructions to copy the OBB to the SD card.
One of the sad things about Android in the last year is they locked out writes to the sdcard. The only way to fix that is to root your phone. Sadly for the retail phone there is no current root option available. Even then not all games/apps work on the sdcard. Also what options you can do with a Sdcard if you have issues especially with sandisk ultra cards is exchange them. In your case its due to the locking of the sdcard in Android. You would need root. Theres a big bounty out for someone to find away to but its looking loke itll be done after lolipop Android 5.0.x is out in the next month or so.
Currently game data can't be moved to sd must stay in phone interior obb folder to work. Until root is achieved or supposedly we will be able to write to sd on 5.0 nothing we can do yet about it.
Hello. I am new to this forum and I just bought a Tablet recently and it is my first Android device. I never used an Android device before.
My device has about 1 . 20 GB free space in its internal memory. I want to install games which has .apk and .obb files. But I would rather have them in the SD card instead of the internal storage. I can install .apk files from my SD card but the applications won't read/detect the .obb game files from the SD card. I hear you could use an app called " FolderMount " to do such a thing , but it requires me to ROOT the device for it to work. It has not even been a week since bought the device and I would hate to " void " its warranty in such a circumstance. Is there another way to which I could Run .obb or data files from SD Cards to play large sized games like 'Grand Theft Auto' and such ? Or is it possible to successfully unROOT the device to get the warranty back ? your suggestions and advices would mean a lot to me. Thank you.
