I installed a game on my Verizon S5 (xcom enemy unknown.) Since its such a big game, I wanted to move it and run it from my SD card. But my phone will only move about 60mb of the 3.72gb of game data. How can I move all of it over to the SDcard? I only have 10.6gb of internal space available for applications and games... surely this cannot be right.
pictures are attached below.
I'm afraid that's as good as it gets without a custom ROM.

You may be able to do it with an On The Go (OTG) adapter and an external USB drive (thumb drive). I have tried using an OTG and thumb drive and it worked like a charm, but I wasn't playing games.

Since the Nexus 7's internal storage is not good for big games (GTA, NFS, Batman etc.) , I would like to move data of these games to a USB stick which I use with SitckMount.
Is this possible ? IS there an app to move data to USB storage , or should I move it myself ?
What should I do if I move manually to run it from there ?
Thanks.

I've had to move most of the larger game data files to an external thumb drive. I had bought a load of games during the last Play Store deals and there's no chance of fitting them all on the N7. Because I usually only play one or two games at a time, I just move the data back and forth as needed. It's a pain in the arse but it works.

thank you. that works.
Hi,I myself own an 8gb Nexus 7.But I have come to realise that there is only 5.9GB of usable storage.That is not enough for me since I like to play those high-end games with good graphics like Nova 3,but they take up a lot of space. I was wondering if there was any way to work around this?
Yes I do know that you can use USB OTG. But is there a way to make the system "believe" that it is the actual storage so that I can install the gigantic game data into the USB storage? For example there is GL to SD ,which is an app that you can move the game data to the sd card instead of the internal storage.So I think it should not be a problem for the devs to come up?Please help!!
So i Got an S4. I rooted it and im running stock 4.2.2 XXUBMEA firmware. With the new update, i can move apps to the SD card, but App data is still internal. you cannot move app data. About 7gb of my internal memory is already taken up by android which leaves me with around 9.23gb left. after installing all my necessary apps, i have left about 7.3gb internal storage left. The problem is here. Most HD games these days have Data files around 1gb. for example, games like Asphalt 7, Batman and GTA Vice City. they all have sd data of around 1gb. And as you know, on the s4, unfortunately, you can only put Sd data on the internal storage and you cannot put it in the micro SD card. So, in order to play these HD games, i have to use my internal memory. By doing this, i wont have much memory left and will probably run out of memory after 3-5 HD games. What do you think is the best solution for this? How do i play a lot of HD games on my device? After all, I paid a lot for this phone. I hope i did not waste my money. Remember i am rooted. Is there anything i can do?
Thanks
Help will be much appreciated.

My daughter installed all her games on the internal storage, now can't install additional games to it. I put in a 32 gb Micro SD but don't know how to move the games to the external storage, i found different move app 2 external apps but none of them work. Does anyone know how to move apps or I can install new games directly to the external SD ?

I've tried 4 apps so far on my tab 2. App2sd, Link2SD, GL to SD Directory Bind
the 1st 2 just did not work. GL to sd works but its limited (im using the free version). I have a lot of games, i do not have a count yet but at least 15. when im in GL to sd it only shows about 10 of them.... my number maybe off but nonetheless i cant move all my apps
i just recently (literally like 5 min ago) was able to get Directory Bind to work. This video helped a lot. Except he did not point out that when you start the app, in the bottom right hand corner the button needs to be on (minuscule but made the difference).
I hope this helps.

Give FolderMount a try.
Hi.
I recently bought max Payne from the play store. Once it downloaded I noticed I'm lower than usual on storage. I checked disk usage and sure enough max Payne was taking up almost 3 GB. It's only supposed to take 1.4gb.
I've attached the screenshot here. The data is taking its own space. And the apk is taking its own space. I can't find the apk in file manager either.
Is it safe to delete it? How can I?
Also is there any way around this silly Samsung limitation of not being able to copy anything app related to external storage. What's the use of having a 32gb card if I can't use it and can only have one big game at a time :/
On stock rom I was able to move all the app data to SD card.
It's google's idea not to move apps to the external storage.
Have you tried reinstalling the game?
The "extra data" is most likely either downloaded extra game data or simply game cache. So it's doubtful it won't stay away.

I have this option of moving games to sd card. But after clicking move to external storage only 2 mb is moved to card and the rest stays in internal memory. This is the case with every app.
Are you able to move compete apps?
I am using a GPE rom right now and it doesn't have the option.
CM12 has but, like you said, it doesn't move the whole app.
You could try Folder Mount
