Hey guys.
As you might know , we , kitkat 4.4.4 users can't install app in our sd card , so I'm here to ask if someone know a way to get the possibility.
I'm pretty new into phones and android , so it's a bit confusing for me. Do I have to install a custom ROM ? Do I have to wait for lolipop ?
Good night.
U will have to root ur device then install folder mount app to move all your data to SD card
Even though you have to inform yourself first very well, using Xposed and a module called XInternalSD works perfectly for apps that can occupy a lot of space on the Data folder, which can be just moved to the External SD Card.

Hello all!
I installed the newest version of Miui ( MIUI 1.12.9 ) and i got some questiont..
Its all fine but i got one problem, i cant find my apps i had.. i did a factory reset in cwm and all but i didnt wiped my sd card.. my memory sais that there is 4GB of 11GB free so, my sd card still has the data in it, but it seems that i can not access on it? Someone had the same problem or do you have a solution?! please i dont know what to do.
Thanks for all answers!
you cant expect the apps to be there when you dont do a backup...the files on your sd are not the apps...that are just the files the app creates...you had to backup them with titanium backup for example...all you can do now is to download the apps from market...i guess it should work then.
jesh, that works i tried it, dl an app from market installed it and worked.. but ok, how to wipe my sd card?? and why i cant copy my contacts from sim card? and is there no app drawer?? or only the homescreens? thanks

You have to install app again..becoz /sdcard only stored data
sry im not miui user i cant tell you that much about it...if you wanna wipe sd either you can do it through settings or you simply delete anything on your sd card...and miui has no appdrawer...if you want that download it seperatly...google for miui sites and read a bit then youll find what you want to know
MIUI doesnt have an app draw, it has home screens much like you would find on iOS.
If you want and app draw and MIUI you would need to use a different launcher (ADW,GoLauncher,ect).
As it has been answered already, the files in your sd card are only files used by the applications. However i have noticed when i used MIUI for a while that some apps would install to the sd card and need to be moved manually.
From memory so it might be wrong, go in to settting and go to storage and there should be an option there to mount/unmount internal sd card, you should be able to format it from there.
ok so i have an hauwie Ideos s7 fat on 2.1-update1 (not the newer slim one which already has the update to 2.2).
its not tied to any network just use it at home on wifi.
i would like to know how to install apps on the external sd in stead of the internal also how to get to the folder which holds pictures and videos so i can move them to create more room. it doesnt have to much internal memory so by installing everything on the sd i plan to improve usage.
i have searched the google and have searched this site and various others and havent found the answer to my question.
so any help given would be great thank u
ps would also like to be able to to move existing installed apps to the external sd as well thank u

You either need to install the Froyo update (since moving apps to the SD started as a default feature in Froyo) or root your device.

Use this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en.
root check said "congratulations this device has root access"

Great, so that means your device is rooted. Now just use this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=en.

Use the app to transfer whichever apps you want to the new partition. Also set it to automatically link new apps to the sd partition, if that's what you want.
If you're having trouble, just Google it. There are hundreds of guides for using Link2SD, and thousands covering all kinds of ways to move apps to the sd card. Here's one to try.
Is it possible to move the system apps to sd card using link2SD ?
No. You can convert system apps to user apps then move them. At your own risk...
Yea
If you have a rooted phone and realy want to force your phone apps to be moved on sd storage you may be successfull but than you dont have any guarantee that they´ll work as they should because in some case it is evident to be on phone storage
Further it may cause system crashes if the sd card is dismounted or interrupted in some way because the system in system apps means that they´re workin on the system =)
Hi. My question is:
I have copy all the .apk from \system\app of my mobile. Can I uninstall these one with link2sd and after that run the apk from my saving to force them via link2sd to install on a partition from sd card ?
And in the apk there is some system apps (ok for google apps like youtube).
Thanks in advance for your replies.
dont. it will brick your phone
Which is the best and EASIEST program to do that on rooted mobile phones?
...do I force the apps to move to the SD card anyhow (and still have them work as before?)
I also would like a list of apps recommended not to move so I don't move them by mistake.
Having only 1.83GB available is getting on my nerves and I'm not getting used to it.
My last phone - Sony Ericsson Xperia Play had allowed moving to SD card so I wish all other Android phones would too.
So how do I disable whatever barrier prevents app-moving, and finally get them moving to my SD card?
I already rooted the phone, and TWRP doesn't allow me to select the tickbox to "Mount SD Card." I already partitioned it to get it ready to mount.
if u force to sd, app should work well except some widgets...Install Rom tool box, there u get an option where to install app Internal/sd/auto...
Hey everyone,
Just trying to move my big apps to the SD card to save internal space.
I have read around that it's not possible due to a limitation of KK.
But I'm asking myself with my Shield Tablet can... and it's also on KK.
Thanks
Assuming you're rooted? Try kk external SD card patch, then you can use folder mount to shift the app files to SD card, although not the app itself
Thanks I'll try
obviously i'm interested in moving games obb files to th SD

Once rooted you can use apps like FolderMount, GL to SD or Link2SD or that Xposed module OBB to SD (I think).
My favourite is FolderMount since it's very easy to set up and use. Link2SD is more for the advanced user since you need to partition your SD card, but it's probably the more elegant solution. It's also able to move APK, DEX and lib files. However it stopped working on me some time ago and wouldn't move the OBBs...
Please post questions in the Q&A section

Thanks I will try exposed module since I'm interested to move obb folders.
otherwise i can't understand why Nvidia has this option by default (no unlock or root needed) just clicking move to SD into the app manager menu and Sony hasn't....
I use obbs to SD and it works perfectly fine
Updates to moving apps to sd
Hi, I'm posting this here since we're anyhow talking about apps to sd for Z2.
I wanted to know if Z2's next update will include the function to move apps to external memory. Sony recently released the kitkat update for T2 with the ability to move apps to external memory. So what are the chances like for Sony to release an update for Z2 that enables this function?
Will they even consider this first of all?
This is the one main reasons why I haven't yet purchased Z2 and I'm thinking of Z1. I install only heavy games and the very thought of investing a so much on a phone and feeling stuck, due to insufficient space, is pretty unsettling.
I've already posted this on sonymobile forum. Just thought I might get some info here as well.

Root your phone/tablet and instal KK sd Card fix, and you will probably be able to move something.
EDIT: sorry for spam, i didnt see that somebody answer already (and i saw its new something in this thread)

KK sd fix allow you to write on the SD but in app manager doesn't appear the Move to SD option.
I used the exposed module and manually moved the obb folders to the SD. All working fine for now.
Thanks
