Hi all,
As to this stock lollipop firmware from Sony, have they allowed apps to write to sd card without root?
If not, I will stick to stock android 4.3.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

Just went ahead and tested for you, I tried moving files to external SD card and I have two apps installed on the external SD card. Works fine.
Thanks, theinspector!

me to i tested it not working
i tried this lollipop its not working moving to sdcard.
im searching lollipop root for sony z ultra but dont have im deleted lollipop i hate this.
Because we cant moving apps to sdcard.
I had no problems moving apps to sd... You are doing it wrong... No root necessary
I am still on 4.4.4 with root and LB as I dont want to upgrade to lollipop and lose root+x reality. The update detail says "move apps to sd card" so I guess we can only move apps.
Yes, I believe you can move some apps to SD card ? . I believe it mentions this on Sony Xperia™ support site.

You can move apps to SD cards. But they don't support to write access to SD cards for files . Using third party apps.
example uKto, Share it , etc

So it still has the same problem as 4.4, damn it, why would they do that... I guess I'll wait for an easy and tested root method before upgrading then.

this is true. although some apps have workarounds (ex. x-plore), a lot of apps still can't write to sd with lollipop 5.0.2 on xperia.

Hello,
I've got a quick question because I didn't found any methods that helped me out. Is there a way to move apps to my SD card?
YES, root acces is available. I found some threads here about the SD cards but like I said nothing helped me out. Could someone explain it to me? Btw I also installed the KitKat Fixer for the SD Card.
Thanks for help...

I tried they all! But they doesn't work for me. Link2SD for example freezes my phone when it I go into the standby (after making another partition)
Nope since 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 it aint work anymore and not even with app2sd or link2sd !
Hi guys! First time here. I have a few questions about Moto E.
I frequently use apps like Airdroid and Software Data cable to transfer my stuff to and from my computer. Transferring to computer works like a charm, but since the internal memory is only 2.4GB(1.3 already used), I cannot transfer files which are pretty huge. The SD card restrictions found in Kitkat does not allow me to copy files directly to External SD card. Is there any way I can change the restrictions without rooting my phone? Thanks in Advance.
I get the following error:
No fix without root that I know of...
...well, you could install a custom recovery, mount /system RW and replace the framework with one patched to remove the restriction, but I guess the effort isn't worth it except as a personal challenge!

Thanks for the reply. I just hope moto e has lollipop upgrade soon. I read that they fixed the SD restrictions.

I was actually concerned about copying large files from computer to SD card using airdroid. Like for example, if i want to copy a 4 gb file, i can't do it without a data cable or card reader. But i don't know if we can put app data in Sd card. I had to stop playing dead trigger 2 because of low storage? Do you think it's possible to put obb's in SD card in moto e?

Is it possible to install apps to your sd card?
At this point I'm unable to download larger apps (2gb+) due to the smallish internal memory of the phone. An example App is Icewind Dale, I'm able to get the apk and install it, but it will not download obb data to the sd card at all.
Thank you for any help!

If u r on ur stock ROM then go to apps, scroll sideways to find SD Card press the check box and then tap move to SD Card

Try link2sd. I can change the default install location but mine's rooted. Move as many of your other apps to SD as you can.

Root required
I don't think this is possible without a rooted phone. Oh well!

What I've observed is that some apps can be moved to SD and some can't. Being rooted and having link2sd helps, and link2sd will let you set the default install path to SD (with root). But some things like Chrome can't be moved. I think it has to do with hard-coded paths in some apps and not others. And then there's the Android 5+ nonsense about not using SD to promote the cloud. Might be worth looking into Ubuntu instead of Android. Sadly, Google is a company making decisions they think will maximize profit. Ubuntu doesn't have a vested interest.
2 gigs for one app, no way would I want such a thing unless I had a terabyte of internal memory. That's bloatware.
I'm unable to move my apps installed on Honor 5X - L22 (indian) model - Using Class 4 Memory card - 4Gb, is that an issue using low Class SD Card does not allow apps to be moved ??
Tried using Apps to move Apps but unable to detect them to move ? Are those locked ? Yet patches will fix this issue on this Stock ROM - Not Rooted.

Right i'm able to move indvidual apps through apps. But still unable to make it at smooth.
Settings-> Manage Apps. Click on the app you want to move and click 'Move to sd Card'. Once moved to sd card, the button description will change to 'Move to Phone'. If the app is a system app, it may have this button disabled. If your not root, then I would suggest you root your phone to give you more permissions (these buttons may be disabled on non-root devices). Your sd card is fine, it maybe slow, but it should still work. There are apps on the market which can move apps to sd card but they may require root.

What exactly does rooting mean?
And why do people brick their phone when trying it?!

Root is the process of elevating your your rights on your system just as Administrator with Windows or root with Linux.
This has mostly nothing to do with bricking a phone but with flashing custom ROMs with some flashalcoholic guys...
It's the same story as with alcohol or with drugs, you know its bad and not good for your health but there is that insane curiosity, and with some guys they will continue even though they have had bad experiences...
Instead, with root when done and use correctly is a very powerful and wonderful tool !

So in order to gain root access I'd have to flash a custom ROM, which is a new OS?

In order to flash a custom ROM you have to first have root in the first place. Root gives you the permission to do things on your phone when normally you wouldn't beable to do so (Like flash a custom ROM {which means modified OS}).
You should search the forums and get good at searching the forums and google. Internet peeps don't like people who ask questions that have already been answered. Just a piece of friendly advice yo.
I regret buying this with 4.4.2 so I decided to try rooting. I successfully rooted my tablet and have a super user app installed and activated, developer options on with debugging. but now I need to figure out how to set the sd card as the default for storage. What is the best app to do this?
Internal memory: 8gb
External SD card: 32gb
Processor: Quadcore-A33
Model: X9
Kernel version 3.4.39
That will only work for thing like the camera for pics. Some apps can be moved to SD card but they will be buggy. You would need 7.0 to get SD card integration.
Thanks, so Marshmallow doesn't do this either? I was just reading on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A with Marshmallow it does transfer apps to sd card. Isn't there an app to send apps to sd card, the whole thing with the OBB?

Samsung devices had the option but because of the way Android was programmed it was always buggy and never worked right. Many apps started preventing the move to SD card option all together.
No there is no app for this. You would have to compile your own aosp based rom.
Even with 7.0 you lose the SD card so to speak as once you combine it for apps it can't be removed when the device is on and can't be read outside of the device.
