Is there a app or APK patcher I can use to tell certain apps to find their SD data files somewhere else? I have a awkward situation on my tablet where it's reading a partition of my internal memory as the "SD Card and it's reading my actual physical external SD card as a folder within the "SD Card" partition of the internal storage.

...WOW that's a mouthful. But yeah, I could use some help with this one because I have plenty of space (technically) but the file structure is so mucked up that I have to switch around folders whenever I want to play certain games and it's not fun.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What's your tablet?

For example, on my Galaxy S II, I have internal storage which is the "sdcard" folder, and access to the physical microSD card is through the "external_sd" shortcut. Is it similar?

YES! And I need a way around that for my games. At least some way to point my games to the "external_sd" shortcut. I have a gig SD card that isnt properly being used :( BTW my tablet is the "Vimicro: Wopad V7+". Apparently it was modeled after the Galaxy Tab 7"

ALL Gameloft games require the "App on device + Files on SD" setup. That means Splinter Cell, Nova 1 & 2, Shadow Guardian, Modern Combat 1, 2 & 3 and many many others. Also EA and few other companies use this setup. Dead Space, Need for Speed and Sims. I have plenty of games but at the moment I have to shift folders around to play certain games. It's a pain.

So... Proto.... what's your solution around that issue on the "Galaxy S II"? I remember reading somewhere about a patcher for a phone with a similar situation but I'm just stumped. This issue is the only thing keeping me from fully enjoying my tablet.

I wanted to confirm that that was what you were referring to; I'm afraid I don't have a solution as I've never needed to look (I have plenty of internal memory). However if you do find an adequate fix then I can add it to my knowledge base.
