Hi, well, i've been searching, well, googling also. How to change the default data directory where the game gets the resources to start the game but no results.
Why?
Well as i have the 8GB version of the SGSA, i have almost 4 GB of storage, right? Well. I also bought a 16GB SD Card to store big games like FIFA 12, NOVA 3, NFS Hot Pursuit, GTA III, etc.
Well, when i download the game, it asks to download it from the apk. Well, i do it, but the problem here is that it downloads to sdcard0/Android/data (internal storage), and i want it to download to sdcard1/Android/data (external). But when i start the game, it just requests to download the whole game again.
So, is there any way to change the direction of the directory where the game uses the resources to start? (From sdcard0/Android/data to sdcard1/Android/data) Help pls

For example you want the game data of game_xxx stored in /storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.game.xxx linked to /storage/sdcard1/Android/data/com.game.xxx, you move the whole folder and type:
ln -s /storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.game.xxx /storage/sdcard1/Android/data/com.game.xxx

Link failed, operation not permitted.
(Typed # su in the previous command, and the first ($ su) also :l)
This is what i did:

EDIT: Well it seems FAT32 doesn't allow links...
If i change the filesystem of the external sdcard what differences could there be? It's supposed to be now a flash storage partition (or something like that i understood)
(Yeah, another edit e.e):
I don't even have a computer :l is there any way to do what's mentioned in the OP without a computer?
Type "/storage" instead of "storage"
And if you want you can format your SD you can do it on cwm recovery

There is a simple method with FolderMount
It creates binds between 2 folders.
In short it's what @frapeti was giving you through manual terminal writing, in a nice GUI suite.
Before anything, thanks to frapeti and YMatrix helped me a lot, already needed it hehe

I meant moving the apk to external sd( creating apk link in /data/app and putting the apk on ext sd)
this isn't a big prob for us with 8/16 GB, but for those with 100-500 MB internal storage.

Hi uguro. If you want to transfer "GAMES" data I recommend you to download GL2SD (gameloft-to-sd). It's compatible with almost all games (even if they are not from gameloft company) and it will move your data to SD without any problem and saving a lot of space on your phone. On the other hand, if you wanna move apk to sd, you can try Link2SD. You need to make a 1GB "primary" partition on your SD card in ext2 format (I'm using "Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition" on windows to do that) and let Link2SD to mount it after rebooting your device.
Hope it will be useful.
Hey uguro you can move all your apps to sd card if your phone is rooted.
Download titanium backup and titanium backup pro(key license) both of them requires root permision.
N u can dwnld key license from blackmart alpha.
I thought Link2SD didn't work on this phone.

So the sp does not support moving apps to the sd card. As a result of this, having the phone for a week I keep getting warnings to say the memory is over 75% full. Is there a way around this yet? I really like the standard Rom and hope I don't have to wait for custom roms.

for this u should have root access (on a custom rom)

Move everything else to sd that you can, photos music downloads etc.

Download Link2SD, moves all your apps and app data to your sd card and any future data will aswell, however you'll have to manually link every app.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
You need root to use these apps.
When using link 2sd you have to create a secondary partition on PC make it primary and use fat32 this is supported by stock.
You can link all apps to extsd
I use foldermount pro to move game data to extsd. As a result of using both these apps I have over 4gig free on internal.

the question is how did you do it bro i can't figure out i have sandisk 16 gigs class 10 sd card..so pls tell me..
both of these apps Are free on play store.
Link2sd needs a secondary partition creating I used easeus free windows tools and set to primary. Then open app and select apps you want, then create link.
Folder mount works similar but you need to create a new folder then select which data files to copy across.
Search Google for the how to guides or xda how to use
Try clean master.

Link2SD is for those small apps that dont use /sdcard/android/data or /obb folders. FolderMount is for those huge /obb data and more. Use both for pushing all those files and apps to microsd.
