[Q] what happens if i unroot? - Galaxy Note 10.1 General

I saved many apps, mostly gameloft games to my SD card, now what will happen if i unroot my device? Because my tablet would not have enough memory if it goes back to the internal memory drive.

Probably bad things.... If you've filled the "Internal" memory using a 32/64 gb sd card swap mod then the 16 gb will probably(not sure) put all the system files first BUT this is not something I'm 100% sure about. You will most definately loose stuff and worst case the tab won't boot but you should be able to recover this by flashing a stock rom and formatting the internal card 1st by going to recovery and wiping data/ache.
Personally, I'd do a nandroid backup, take out the sd card and put it somewhere safe for if I want to use again, then wipe/factory reset and flash a new stock rom using ODIN.

Or maybe nothing at all will happen... Id think root is only needed to do the original swap ..

Your system files aren't on the SD card just the apps data. So if u lose the swap u won't have the gameloft game data any longer... the device will still boot. Not sure if losing root will take away the sdswap or not....I would think so however....

Which method did you use to move just your gameloft titles? I looked in the development section and all I see is the script to swap internal storage with the SD card...

More info is need from the OP for advise.....
Buji.... there is an app called "(Root) Foldermount" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount in the play store that works great and you can move all of those large OBB and DATA files to your extSDcard. I think the free version lets you mount 4 or so folders and the $1.99 Premium upgrade has unlimited.
I have 10.1 GB of internal storage left with lots of apps and the following space hogging games installed on my Note........
Asphalt 6: Adrenaline
Asphalt 7: Heat
Need for Speed™ Most Wanted
Zombiewood – Zombies in L.A!

You know that when ever a program refers to sd-card it means /SDCARD.
And this is the internal sdcard of the galaxy. The external sd-card is mounted at /sdcard/sd.
So friend how come i solve this problem..when i want to continue the installation it always says require at least 35mb memory card free but my memory card 4gig free..

This might be a form of copy protection where it doesn't want to allow apps to be installed off of an SD card. It sounds like you downloaded to an external card, am I right? Make sure you aren't confusing your internal and external SD (memory) cards, only use the internal memory card for downloads and installations.
actually it sounds like the [OP] already maxed out his INTERNAL SD, that's why the game is not installing.
Because Asphalt 5 installed fine for me just fine.
the games will not install to an EXTERNAL SD [OP] 4GB SD card because that feature only comes after fRoyo 2.2

You are referring to you externeal sd card!!
You can't use this card for installing apps. Only the internal sd card.
The internal sd card = sd card for any android app.

Are you sure you can can install apps to /sdcard/sd and not only to /sdcard?
so AllGamer u said that Asphalt 5 installed fine for u...can u tell me the step by step how 2 install the game on galaxy s..can i know ur installer is a copy or u buy original one from gameloft..mine is a copy from someone post...i've already several time try to install but got same problem..i confuse y after i allready install then when i open by click the icon it say must download some data else but it said require some space in memory card but my memory card 4gig free..several time i click retry but can't work...so can u help me regarding this prob please...
You can only install games on to your internal SD. If it fails to install due to not having enough memory you will have to delete some things for it to install. If you have a 4GB external SD you still cannot install apps to it as this is a feature of Froyo 2.2 only. If your not up for deleting anything you'll have to flash a froyo rom or wait until Samsung release the full official version.
easy, just click install
done
no special steps, it just installs automatically to the INTERNAL SD

No one has even asked him properly yet. Syuk89 is your internal memory on your phone full? You should have 8gb or 16gb on your internal memory.

So you have a stolen game ...
But you don't need to steal Asphalt 5 as it is available for free in the Samsung market.
Just select it there to install and everything works.
And of course you need some free space on your INTERNAL sdcard. Not the external 4GB you put in!!!
My hp have 16gig internal memory and 4gig external..i've do all u said but still can't work..i bought this hp from my friend and he said this hp allready upgrade to 2.2 beta and rooted... So if this the problem..n can i know how to make a screenshot like iphone so i can attach the pic

then you are probably in the wrong forum
This forum is for Samsung Galaxy S, not for HP
but even on a HP device you should be able to install the game as long as you are running Android 2.1
many Apps & Games are not yet compatible with Android 2.2
No hp stands handphone..my hp is samsung galaxy s19000.. So how..is i must format my internal sd..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Are you running one of the leaked FroYo firmwares for Samsung Galaxy S? <-- Aha! Yes you are! I should have read your latest posts more carefully.
Nova (a Gameloft game) would not install under this firmware for me because the SD card handling in the leaked firmware was broken. The game requests phone-specific data for external storage (in-game media, I presume) during install, but fails when it cannot find the external SD card.
For the same reason, I could not mount the SD cards properly, a number of apps were unable to access data on the external card, and even custom recovery images failed to see the card so I was unable backup or restore anything via Nandroid.
The only fix for me was to re-install a stable 2.1 firmware.
EDIT: Just to clarify, Gameloft games require external SD storage and will ignore the internal storage completely, failing upon install if no external storage can be found. In the leaked 2.2 firmware (all versions that I found), external SD handling was broken, and the mounting points had been changed (so the external card could not be found where expected, at /sdcard/sd).
Formatting internal or external storage WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE!! It is a problem with the 2.2 firmware leaks that cannot be 'worked around'. I even tried sym-linking /sdcard/sd to the external card and got nowhere... but then, I'm not entirely sure I was doing it right anyway. :S
I think its leak because its only beta..many apps force close..the hp also running a bit slow..i bought this samsung from my friend and its allready upgrade to 2.2 beta..so how can i back to normal firmware..or is that i must reset the hp..how??

Space issue

However my internal storage is showing I have only 0.96GB free.
Is this how it should be or is something wrong with my S4?

Re installing may not be complete soloution as even in that case ur data will still land up at internal memory only
However u can try Reset once and re install all freshly u muyte get some space back
Rooting will be a solution it also has a little risk I suggest read more abt it google is your friend
Plus rooting will void warranty
If u are ok with that then mention the model number u are using will guide you to the proper link for rooting

Maybe I should flash the latest firmware (MH8) via Odin, root plus reinstall everything

Scratch that then. I think I will just return the phone.
I just do not get why I have so much space taken on the internal storage. I have checked every app which I moved to the SD card and it shows sd card app and it sd card data for example Asphalt and Real Racing
Only the stock apps/bloat are using internal storage space.

This would effectively prevent me from using OmniROM ever.
Are you saying it's a bug, or that the feature has truly been eliminated going forward?
Security and file system changes have caused certain "move app to external storage" scripts and apps to fail. This is not an Android-level issue.

Do you know then, is there a way to fool apps to install at least their data on external card?
On N7100 there is mere 10GB of space, install 2 gameloft games, and phone cries it's out of storage space. And I have 64GB card, 128GB on its way.
I understand they cry for FAT32's lack of permission support, but what If I format the card in ext4?
Or could I possibly swap internal and external card (I, of course, understand it's risky and dangerous action).
I haven't looked into it yet, but this might help.

That's not the issue here.
I can read/write on both sdcards (emulated and physical).
Problem is that internal space runs out quickly, and there is no obvious way to force apps to use external card instead of emulated.
I.e. If I install Nova 3 (3.5 GB), Asphalt 8 (3.7 GB) and Galaxy on Fire 2 (1.2 GB), uce omnirom system update and make couple of photos, I'm out of space, and can't even update apps through google play, because it requires alot of extra space, not even mention i.e. recording a video. And my 64GB card sits useless in its slot.

If you are rooted you can accomplish this by using an app called folder mount. When you open the app use the add button at the top right name the folder, for example (RR3) for real racing, then tap the source button and navigate to the folder the app data is stored in, for games usually android/data or android/obb chose that folder and leave the destination folder name the same, it will prompt you so just chose yes, press the check button at the top right and then wait for the folder to be moved, you can monitor the progress in the status bar, it may take some time if it is a large game or app, when it is complete simply press the mount button in the folder mount app then go back and play your game. to verify that the folder was moved successfully check your internal storage in android settings before and after you use folder mount. Make sure before you use the app or game you have the folder mounted or you may get an error or in the case of real racing the game tried to redownload all the game assets. Hope this helps.
thank you

download minitool partition wizard for windows
use it to delete any partitions on your sd card
create a new partition of fat32
then once it created and you want to use it in your phone just reformat it on your phone from your phone settings/storage (need to press unmount sd card first)
if your sd card is still in working order it will work
note doing this will delete any data you have on your sd card
If you have card reader more better

well you can look at the manifest - you will need to resign the app if you change it
also the game must be for armv6 and android 2.3.6 or below unless you are running cm9 then 4.04 or below (but cm9 currently has no audio and I dont know if games run on it) - it wont install at all if the game is for amv7 only
and a game of 100mb is probably hd or armv7 only so even if you do get it installed the chance of it running smoothly on a galxy y 5360 is slim

you mistake physical internel storage with virtual internal storage
just becase you have a 2nd sd card partition of xyz doesnt mean your internal storage increases - it doesnt - it stays exactly the same - this is physical storage - it never changes
what you are doing is creating virtual internal storage on your sd card - apps installed here act like they are on physical internal storage
you still need a large ammount of physical internel storage to install the app before it is moved/linked to virtual storage plus data is still stored on physical storage

thanks for that info, now i know that i cant install it.. sad..
but is it possible to increase internal memory? i checked my friends phone again and it really is 2.20GB internal memory

Like what marcussmith said, it is virtual storage. Once he removes the SD card, the internal storage will return to its actual value.
If you REALLY want to increase internal storage legitimately, you will need to break the phone apart and replace the storage devices within. It would be better to buy a new phone than go through all the fuss just to increase physical legit storage and also the cost of buying the new storage might be enough to buy another phone...
And also you must find a storage device that fits into the casing of the phone. Wouldn't it be awkward using a phone with the chipsets bulging out of the phone casing?

[Q] Move Apps to EXT SD Card

Guys, I'm trying to move my games to my External SD card since I've got only 1gb left of my internal, but when I try to do it just from the Application Manager inside Settings, it only moves a few megabytes (X-Com Enemy Unknown has 3.7gb and moved to SD 60mb of it, awesome...)
I'm rooted, using X-Note 13, knox tripped 2 minutes after getting inside the house with the phone, I don't care about warranty or stuff, just... Could someone provide a fix, please? Tried App2SD, Link2SD and other apps like this, but it seems all they do is just move provide me with a shortcut to the same Application Manager from Settings that does the same useless thing. I didn't get a 64gb sd card to move 60mb out of 3.7gb from a game, seriously...
I think it depends on the programing of the game what can be moved and what not. Some programs can't be moved at all, but most of the big games I have, large portions of the data was moved to SD card during the install all by itself. If you just purchased the card, maybe reinstalling the game from start would give you better results, if that was an option? Also it seems to me you're using close to 25 GB of internal storage but you only mention one game, surely you must have many other large programs installed, what about them? There are some programs that can fool the system into "thinking" your external SD card is internal memory and your internal memory becomes external, but I don't have details ATM, also this could create problems if your SD card went bad.
And maybe you should take a hard look and see if you really need all those programs? If I didn't keep the tabs and clean all the junk, delete less frequently used programs etc. on regular basis, 96GB of memory wouldn't be enough either LOL.
I mentioned just one game as an example. I have quite a lot of space-hungry games, such as Bard's Tale, Modern Combat 4, Gangstar 4, Amazing SpiderMan2, etc...a total of around 40 games, mostly large games, and I have basically moved everything I could from Application Manager, yet it moved very very very little out of them. I tried deleting and reinstalling them, formatting my sd card, reflashing the rom from scratch with fresh sd, basically same thing every time. I got this phone to be able to have a mobile console with me that can also receive calls (boring job, games on phone help a lot), and now my sd seems so pointless
Internal Memory 26.3gb - 1.2gb free
Ext SD Card 59.0gb - 42.6gb free
bump, please?
The only app that worked for me is FolderMount [ROOT].
RinaldiMe, thanks a lot man, I just bought that app, testing it now, but from it's description, it should do exactly what I hope . It requires individual move of each app and folder, but it does the trick, thank you so very much
Will come back with replies as soon as I move 5-10 apps and test it out more
L.E.: Nope, bought the app, not just the free version, moved some files, still didn't work, apps just thought they didn't have their files and wanted to redownload...
Back to square one

I'm assuming your on kk bootloader and dunno if Mattiadjs int2extsd mod will work on 4.4, but I've been using his script meant for JB 4.3 that switches where the huge data and obb files are stored to your extsd instead of internal storage.
Try checking the galaxy s4 thread for the kk mod, I'll try looking too and post a link for ya. I know what your going thru as I have over 500+ apps/games and needed the 128gb SanDisk to store all my obb/data files along with pics and mp3 media.
Here's the link to the kk int2extsd mod

Folder mount should work too it's just more complicated and is more meant for cm roms imo.

Guys, I'm trying to move my games to my External SD card since I've got only 1gb left of my internal, but when I try to do it just from the Application Manager inside Settings, it only moves a few megabytes (X-Com Enemy Unknown has 3.7gb and moved to SD 60mb of it, awesome...)
I'm rooted, using X-Note 13, knox tripped 2 minutes after getting inside the house with the phone, I don't care about warranty or stuff, just... Could someone provide a fix, please? Tried App2SD, Link2SD and other apps like this, but it seems all they do is just move provide me with a shortcut to the same Application Manager from Settings that does the same useless thing. I didn't get a 64gb sd card to move 60mb out of 3.7gb from a game, seriously...

@fahdil3536, tried that app, but it doesn't seem to work... I will try more tomorrow after work, maybe I didn't set the folders properly (doubt it,but still). Seems the most promising thing I found out until now, thank you

Any luck with that link I sent you, it's really easy to use as you just flash it in recovery. Your rom and kernel need to support init.d and it only works on TouchWiz roms.

myeah... tried that link, did what I expected... broken basically everything
Restoring a backup now, hoping it'll work. Basically it still saw my internal sd as internal sd, but it didn't see my card properly anymore (and yes i did check the exfat or fat32 version to use)
Are you tried App2sd?

Read op instructions. You have to put the same name folder both internal and external. Example: titanium backup. Both of internal and external must have the same name and caption.
Put all the titanium backup data in external titanium backup folder.
Leave titanium backup folder in internal empty.
Run the app, and select the correct path.

Any luck? this seems to be a generic android problem. can't believe no one figured out a solution yet. tried link2SD but it doesn't seem to see the full game size... detects something like 50 mb offf a 3 gb game...
assume u r note r rooted...install Xposed installer, then download a module obb on sd , enable it at the modules after downloading and installing, reboot and them move any game obb data from the note internal memory to the SD after creating folder Andriod/obb at sd
working at my note 9005 4.4.2 echoerom v19
