[Q] Gameloft Data to external SD (ICS)

Ok, all of you know all the Gameoft's games force you to install about 600-700 mb of data PER game, that's mean, if you wanna have 5 games you have to sacrifice 3,5 (or more) GB and the 5,5 GB internal storage became TOO short, so I 've searched for a famous app to resolve it (GL to SD), but appereantly the app is not optimized for the new ICS external SD location (mmt/emmc) so when I transfer the data of a Gameloft game (MC3) I've surprised for a RE-instalation of the game's data.
So the point is (sorry for the long story ), which method do you use for move the data of GL's games to the external SD (emmc) in ICS?
PS: sorry for my english

Clean the data of "GL to SD".
If you use Ti backup,it will cache old setting.

So, the only thing I have to do is cleaning GL to SD's data and it should work fine then?

Yes.
After clean the data,it will detect the correct path of external sdcard.

need easy way to root zr 5.1.1 latest update

i need a way to root my zr because i am sick of low internal memory
i am gonna wipe the damn bloatwares

KingRoot should probably work, though that'll install KingUser instead of SuperSU. Best option might be to flash a stock based kernel with TWRP built in (you should be able to find one on the forum), and flash the SuperSU zip.

try kingroot and replace it by the supersu by this http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zr/general/root-xperia-zr-5-1-1-kingroot-t3250656

By the way, forgot to say this: wiping the bloatware will not free up any internal memory; it will only free up space in the /system partition. Try Link2SD and/or FolderMount.

The newer versions of Kingroot cannot be removed by this method. You need to get an older version before they integrated everything into a single APK. Only phones rooted by that APK can be converted to SuperSU cleanly.
This is my experience. Rooted more than a month ago.
Your mileage may vary.

Wiping bloatware from system will free up internal memory to the extent of corresponding DEX files of the system application.

Yes, but if memory serves, it's not enough to make any significant difference; might get space for one or two more apps.

I am constantly hitting 'low memory - system functions may not work' error. So every bit counts.
It is not that low. Altogether I have freed more than 150 MB I guess. Forgot to keep the exact total.

Well, my ZR is no longer functional, so I can't say, but if you have storage problems, you may want to invest in Link2SD and FolderMount; they're the only things that allowed me to use the phone as more than, well, a phone. I swear, 16/32 GB internal and a tougher display, and the thing would have been flawless. Ah, well.

huawei P9 lost his internal memory

After 2 months of using my Huawei P9, suddenly the internal memory wiped and cleaned by it self... i lost all gallery and...
how could i restore the internal memory???

I haven't heard anything like this before, you or somebody else probably did a soft-wiped of the device, or do you change your SD Card, probably files will be there, so check if it is correctly inserted or if it stopped working.

Hello
I couldn't understand why also, it never happened with me before, it deleted all data on internal storage since last update.
I would like to get help by recovering photos without root. if any one have ideas.

There no a way to recover them, you should had a recover app, Google Photos for example sync you pics in the cloud so If you change your device or lose all of them they are already in the cloud.

Thank you
I usually recover deleted files from my computer or from SDCard with "Recuva" software
but i couldn't mount the internal memory of the P9
so i tried several other software :
Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android
FonePaw Android Data Recovery
MobiKin Doctor for Android
but also didn't work

Latest security updates of Android prevent those things, because many people resell there devices and just wipe there memory, so for preventing the new owner access the data of the previous one they enforce the way to delete user data.

Hi,
I have a Huawei P9 Plus and exactly the same happened with my phone. I have this phone since 2 months, but until now I do not use it productively. Sometimes I used it to take photos. So I only lost photos and no other data. But I’m not sure if I can trust the phone to use productively or this happens later again and I’ll lose more data.
My phone was out of battery for maybe two days. I plugged in cable for charging, the phone starts immediately by itself. But while starting, the phone turned off and on again. This process repeated multiple times, until I used another power adapter. Maybe 500 mA of the power adapter, I used first, aren’t enough for the Huawei phone. Three hours later, I discovered that I lost all data from internal SD card. I haven’t lost any data from data partition, like apps and app settings. Only data from internal SD card. On factory reset you lose data from data partition but not from internal SD card, usually. In my case it’s the other way round.
Aissar5, I’ve some questions to you:
Did you get your data back?
Did it happen again?
Did you find the cause for this?
Best regards

hello it didn't happen again, but i couldn't resolve the issue and get back my old data.

mi5 only 25gb storage

hello there.
so i unlocked bootloader installed twrp and a custom rom.
no i wanted to try a different rom so i wiped everything even system i mean EVERYTHING and my internal storage is 25gb! is there by any change some hidden folders from previous rom? or is this normal? i think its not!
ZXC TWRP and lineage os was the rom.
thnx in advance!

8 available storage is what you see in the settings....

Your 32GB storage is not all for your own data. Install terminal application then executes df -h to see how it's partitioned. My 64GB has 54GB left for user data, the rest belongs to the system (spans over several other partitions which somewhat familiar to Linux users).

No option to move apps to internal storage?

Hello I'm using a Huawei GR3 2017 (PRA-LX2 running emui 5.0.1) and I was wondering if this device has been restricted to move apps to sd card?
At first I thought that switching the default location in the Settings from Internal to SD card would make the move to SD card possible in apps, or at least put my apps I would download to the card.
However, I guess it just means that it would just put my shot photos, videos, screenshots etc. and downloaded files to the card, but not apps themselves. Factoey reset then downloading my applications again didn't work.
Is the only way to move them is to have my phone rooted then? What led me first to assume that I can move apps to sd is the option "force allow apps on external storage" in the developer options (which I can't seem to turn on no matter what)
Has Huawei restricted moving apps to sd card for this device?
Thanks for your time! (and i hope i am in the right forum)

Since Android 6 Google disabled that option. So you need root or you can format SD card as internal storage

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately there really is no option to format my sd card as internal; not sure if this is an emui thing or what, since I see people using stock android 6 and above with that option available in their devices.
So my only option is to root then? Or is there a chance that they would enable it again on emui 8.0? I've searched a bit and found out (in many sites) that gr3 2017 is on the list to receive the update.

Search for a tutorial for change / resize the partitions of sdcard, no need root.

Thanks for the tip!
Did some research and found a turorial for my device to make my sd card part of the internal (i guess?) using adb. With this method and no root in the process, i shouldn't be worried of having my warranty voided, issues on OTA updates, etc. then? Just making sure

UPDATE:
Yes, it was a success
By doing it via usb (debugging mode) and using adb to enable adoptable storage. A detailed procedure can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...3-p8-lite2017-enable-adoptable-t3689850/page1 (credits to the op!)
At the part where I had to unmount and mount the sd card, I tried inputting the code to do it, but it seemed that adb couldn't recognize it so I just went to my settings in the phone, ejected the sd card and mounted it again. So far I didn't screw things up tho. The free space was 11+ gb after I was finished with the process. Before it was only 400 plus mb :cyclops:
After 3 days since, I've experienced nothing wrong; no bugs, glitches, slowdowns etc. All I haven't tested are the OTA updates, but I guess it's still working cuz I can still search for the updates (I already have emui 5.0.1)
But keep in mind that ONLY use fast micro sd's, I am using a Sandisk Ultra with an A1 rating, which I think is made for running applications (from the"A" bit) so I would recommend that at the very least (I bought the 16gb one)
Thanks all for the help! I included a screenshot of the settings' readings on my phone's storage, but I think this is only natural from force adopting storage (hope so) and a screenshot of my file manager readings on it.

yeah this messes up the storage settings.
It's also not a perfect solution - some apps will install to the "adopted" SD card, but many still insist on installing on the internal memory, so it doesn't buy you a lot of extra space. Fundamentally 16GB is not enough for a modern Android phone - I won't buy another with less than 32GB.
