Phone not recognizing game data on sd-card - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Whats up guys I recently needed my micro sdcard for something so I copied everything over to my comp which was my android folder with game data and some music after I used it and reformatted it I put my game data back on my sd-card but my phone doesnt recognize it it still shows an icon for the app because i didnt uninstall it but it says app doesn't exist when I try to play it. Or when I even go to move to phone it says app doesnt exist. Im guessing there was some kind of liking I'd for the game and data that was lost. Is there any way to fix this? As I have quite a large amount of games I really dont want to redownload. Thanks again guys sorry if this is a big incoherent havnt slept in a bit latest stock firmware rooted
Note-not save game data data needed to run the game. The data thats moved over when you move the game to an sdcard

Download the app again, the game data is saved in data/data usually so you should be OK.

No, that's not how it works. Apps don't come with data when you download them. The data is already in your filesystem in data/data.
My ROM: WICKED X

Hmmm ill use modern combat 5 as an example when you download it from the play store its like 1gig the actual app is like 20megabytes that I could install from somewhere on google the rest of that 1gig is game data needed to run the app which is what it moves to your sdcard when you hit move. I already have that game data

I just tried the Like button. It was working fine, but I think Track ID got something badly wrong. ^^
So instead of

it posted
Evenfall - Snail of Choron xD
You don't know by chance if there's a place where you can report errors in the Track ID database? ^^
@payneardo:
Like button should be in the top right corner when you're playing a song.
@all:
Wasn't it said that you could disable the functions separately? Has anyone found this yet?
@cherryfish Presume that you've NOT unlocked your bootloader then??
No. Sorry I know it's not quite the right thread, but I couldn't find a better one.
For me works too

What the hell is that miscellaneuous thing taking up 4.11gb?
That's why you have no space.
i would expect it disabled for a mobile phone, but ext4 allows reserving space for root. On desktop systems that setting is often at 5% of availible storage. As you got root i'd try to grab enough of the start of the raw partition where /data is saved on (or all if you have the space and time) to a linux system and run dumpe2fs on the raw file to see if that's enabled. In case you can change it with tune2fs, but you'd likely need that crossbuild for android.
It this is really the cause something you used to format/wipe /data is seriously bugged though.

Or is it that my app space is somehow limited to 2gigs even though that shouldn't be happening with nexus? I see I'm touching that already

Not entirely sure about why its protecting you from downloading more.
But to clean up that misc folder, why don't you delete those ROM .zip's? You surely don't need them after you've flashed, why are you holding onto them? That's 356mb right there. Also look into your Clockworkmod folder for downloads that you've drone via ROM manager and don't need anymore.
that's not a reply is it. I can clean up and delete files I dont use but that's besides the point
Why is 500mb showing free if I can't install anything?

Like I said, I don't know why its preventing you from downloading more, but while you try to figure it out, you can delete unused files and download apps again...
The first thing I would do is deleting the market app's cache and data in settings > apps > all. Then boot into recovery and wipe the /cache partitition. More often than not that resolves false "out of disk space" messages.
I did the market data delete and a full cache wipe through recovery
That doesn't work ... I've also started getting storage getting low messages in notification bar
I don't understand what the heck is 500 mb available showing for, if it is unusable?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
As seen in another thread you need to run Lucky Patcher. That fixes it.
I have this exact same issue floating around 500 meg free. Is it a set limit for other processes to be able to save stuff, eg camera pictures etc...?? Obviously if you ran it down to like 1 meg where would it save a photo?!
Coincidentally I'm on apex too.....

Avaliable Space is wrong. Need help

I know I'm a noob. I have looked over these forums for a long time. And I did use the search with little success. I even searched the mighty Google for help. But my phone shows that I only have 3.9gb free on storage in settings. And 6.7gb free in application manager. What is going on? Please see included pics.

Can you offer some more info like what Rom you are running etc?
My first suggestion is to do a full wipe and re-install the ROM. Most "quirky" errors are resolved by doing a full wipe and re-install.
Format the internal sd card and flash back to stock with odin. I had the same thing happen to me when I used that app2sd script

Some zip archive files as well as any cwm backups you may have will not show up on the internal storage reports. To get a good picture of your actual storage usage and available disk space you need disk storage analyzer app - I have seen a couple people here recommend one from the play store, I don't remember which it was though.
You can search for one or maybe someone who knows of a good one will pop in and say.

I am so sorry. Phone is 100% stock AT&T 4.0.4 not rooted or anything. I'm sorry if this stuff seems elementary, but I came from a iPhone and I did mod and jailbreak and all that to it so I know my way around apple products but this phone has been a little bit of a learning curve. I just got sick of apples subpar hardware... So I moved to android.

Ok I can accept that. But what is really the free space? It shows 12.05gb of space. I know the OS and other system type stuff is taking the other 4gb that would total the 16 of the phone. But even the math of the doesn't add up in settings/storage.

The system partitions aren't represented in the storage manager. Reason being: you can't change it. It's only showing what you have available for apps and your own files.
No ROM I've seen will show the "full" storage.

[Q] [HELP] Weird graphic bug in 3D games after restoring to stock

Hey ive got a problem after flashing back to stock android 4.2.2 Jelly bean. It looks like when i play certain games like nfs most wanted, asphalt 8(really bad), etc.
It looks like anti-aliasing( i don't know for sure how its called on android) is not working all the round shaped edges are not smooth. Ill put some screenshot from real racing 3 in the thread.
P.S: the 3rd screenshot is from nfs most wanted i think this one looks better than other games
Can someone please help me its very frustrating cause before i wasn't having this problem, and i liked the s4 because of its great graphics. Here are the screenshots:

Hm. Check the 4x option as well and see if it helps. I've never had the need to use it though. Can you describe what phone model and ROM you are using and the kernel (if you used a custom one).

Just curious, did you do a clean ROM install or dirty? And damn, that is why you always keep a nandroid backup on hand or atleast use EFS Pro to keep a copy of your /efs folder!!

Yea that's what i had, i had a nandroid backup and what do you mean by clean or dirty i just flashed the srock rom not a modified one through odin. And rooted it after.
Clean requires you to data wipe when flashing. Dirty is no data wipe and hoping for the best.

How Many Apps Do You Install On Your Phone?

Plain and Simple. How Many apps do you have installed on your Phone, Not Including System Apps
Also If you Don't Mind Listing them.
One hundred something. I don't know the exact number off the top of my head. That's what I love about the S4...so much memory that you don't have to worry about running out of space unless you install a lot of games (which I don't). Apps2SD solves that problem, too.

I guess i keep some just to see if theres updates which will make them useful; such as google keep which is begging to be integrated with google now.
But i just found an app to help with that task
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cypressworks.changelogviewer
It lets you add apps to observe for updates without having to install them. Currently i only use it to get an overview of changes to my all my installed apps since the play store sucks for that. This app shows changelogs all on one screen. It's really well made
My name is scoob and I'm a recovering appaholic... I used to download just about any app for any task i could find. I had apps on my phone that i never once used. It was like hardcore app hoarding...I used to have like 140-170 apps total, but I have since cut waaaay back. Backups used to take forever. I'm proud to say, I now only have a total of about 56

This gave me a good laugh because it hit so close to home! I had to purge my collection of useless apps I had a while back as well...
I have around 120 but lately I've been doing some app pruning and getting rid of ones that I haven't opened lately.
I probably have around 50 or so.
You guys got a lot of apps! I user to have about 40 apps, but I realized that I didnt use most of them. So now I have about 20 apps, if I urgently need an app I download them at the time.
Sometimes I keep looking for some games that I might like, but rarely find some lol

I have 302 installed, with a few gigs of free space.
I have 1562 user apps backed up with Titanium Backup though. I restore apps as I need them, so depends on how long since i've flashed a new rom.
What's the point of having a phone with a ton of free space? It's just wasted potential to me.
Usually around 50-60.
