Hello,
Someone kindly help me to understand the installation directories for the Apps and Games on Android's internal and external storage please ..
i have the DHD rooted and S-off ..
i understand how apk can be installed from Market and through 3rd party application and so on .. but certain games won't work .. due to missing data files..
so i am wondering how the installation directories work?
for app and game's main program .. it's installed to:
/data/app/"...app names..."/ ---> main program file
/data/data/"...app names..."/ ----> data files
is this correct?
for the games, where does the data files reside?
under /data/data/" xx "
or under /sdcard/android/data/" xx " ? if we want to save the internal memory?
for example, a game which is like 1xxMB large .. but i couldn't find out where the large data file was installed to .. after performing the move2SD .. it seems to me only the main app program "like 2, or 3 mb" is moved to sdcard only ...
You don't ever need to move apps to the SD card on the DHD. I don't understand why you would be asking this, unless it was for piracy.
If you want to backup data/games/apps use Titanium backup, if you want to force apps to the SD card (which is totally unnecessary on the DHD) you will have to root install clockwork recovery and install an APP2SD ROM, i.e. CM 6.1 and force apps to the SD card.
thanks for the reply.
I just want to know where they save all the files .. so i can save the internal memory .. though it's 1.5gb big ..
i have used the titanium ..and it has a feature to move app to SD .. is that the same function you mentioned about? or i need to flash another rom for it.. hmm ..
and when i uninstall the files .. i want to make sure they are clean .. not leaving some files here and there ^^
i have tested couple games now .. and able to see they indeed download the big data files to SD .. ^^ .. but i see their files everywhere .. like under data/data // system/app , mnt/sdcard/ and etc ..
thanks ~~
I own xperia E3 D2212 mobile .
The whole proplem that its only 4 gb storage , more than 2 gb used for the Rom and system .
While all the storage available 1.7 gb only .
I want to setup games with large date likr Modern compact .

So i can place any app data direct to exsdcard !
Note: Rooted Device
Thans in advance
hello guys,i need your help
me nd my friend ,both of us are facing problem in yureka,the problem is that ,when we install high end games like asphalt 8 out of play store nd then put additional data in internal storage-android-obb then game runs fine for some time after some time obb data gets deleted automatically nd game demands for the additionaldata?
why is so happening,moreover i tried downloading games from playstore but this doesn't creates the problem.it only happens while installing nd putting additional data in obb
not only this when we search in obb folder there is no game folder.nd its still consuming space,any way to fix it except factory reset as i alrdy did it 2-3 times but again the same thing happens

hey guys
iam using my galaxy s4 for about 3 years now but i encounter a new problem for about a year ago... after rooting my device i started to use titanum backup and foldermount apps to improve my backup and my empty storage to bownload more apps... but after unlinking some apps from foldermount and deleting apps i started to notice that my ext sdcard is losing oculied space by the moved app but my internal storage is still the same... i unlinked all the apps and deleted them and i still lost aproxi about 5 to 6 gb of my internal storage.... i made a factory reset and deleted all the cashe and things starts to go normal... but after a while i started to download games and this time wihout foldermount app i still got the same problem... i used ex file explorer to determine how much space i got but i got 2.3 gb used on android folder...but the app and the system showed that iam using 6.2 gb..... i store nothing in my internal storage ... i linked titanum backup to ise my ext sdcard and offline youtube videos also ... please help because i realy dont inderstand whats going on.....
aorry for the long post and thanks ...
Are you using a custom recovery? If so, which one?
A factory reset will definitely resolve the problem, if nothing else works.
I finally was able to find a safe root for Note 4 5.1.1 stock rom that wouldn't cause a boot loop , next step was to swap internal by external sd , the sd is formated exfat , i have searched and keep finding outdated tutorials with resources killed by time so please for whomever is willing to help to make sure they upload their resources along .
also i managed to download an app that would enable init.d on note 4 (hopefully) so script solution is available .
I got to understand I can not use the normal route of installing xpose and the swap memory app from google play as still till date installing xpose on note 4 would cause a boot loop , is that correct ?
I can't seem to find vold.fstab on stock kernel , so vold manipulation is unavailable too .
thanks in advance !
p.s , i have seen an older post about manipulating mounts so new apps are installed directly to sd card while still in place but with precaution that if someone copies files to internal memory directly when plugged to a computer the mobile might boot loop i may want to dodge that solution thank you
I have searched more and found a custom belt version for samsung galaxy of xpose , i installed it and installed swap internal memory by sd from app store but yet no matter what it didnt do the swap , so xpose tricks are incompatible .
p.s i never had answers in this forum , why ?
