FOR storing Game data and how to play game:use GL2SD:

Guide:

first whatever game u need to play...use some website to download them ...bcoz u wont have space required in internal sdcard if u want to download from playstore...

so i assume u have downloaded the game apk + data from some website....and u have extracrted the zip or rar to somewhere in pc...

1.copy the apk to sdcard1...[Note:sdcard1 is ur external sdcard]

2.see the data folder...

mostly data folder has game name inside them mostly android/obb/game name/ or android/data/game name/ [game name will start as com.xxxxxx.yyy] structure will be followed and

some gameloft or reputed company will have their company name/games/game name/ [game name will start as com.xxxxxx.yyy] structure for games

3.now if it has .obb format file inside the above given structures...then copy game name folder and place them in sdcard1/obb/ [eg:sdcard1/obb/com.rockstar.gta3/xxyyyy.obb]

or if it has many folders and files inside the above structure....then copy the game name folder and place them in sdcard1/data/ [eg:sdcard1/data/com.rockstar.gta3/]

4.now install game.apk from sdcard1 and open gl2sd

5.click mount [the joined chain symbol at top] and click play the game...if u didnt see game on list ...just open setting go down and click recover list

6.if u download some medium size game like 250mb directly from playstore..then open gl2sd and click top right button and choose move data and wait till it moves data] after that ur game data is stored on sdcard1 ....now play with same step 5

7.if game didnt open or cant play or some error...restart ur phone...and repeat the 5th step...

8.if game work..cool but remember to unmount[unlinked chain on top] after u finished playing games..or u cant paste anything in sdcard1

[Note:To run game you must mount after every reboot and unmount if u r going to copy some files to sdcard1]

if u cant understand what i said about gl2sd

see this video..maybe it will help u.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adLQgWyYIXQ

now u can mount any app or game to sdcard1...
