Application Installer program is missing so I cant do it the old way like 1.6, anyone know how?
Install a file manager, then browse to your sd card and select the .apk file you want to install
Or just use Dropbox...

I have jsut installed Tomtom 5 on my wm2005 xda2 following instructoins found on this forum, however, you have to put certain files on your device (program files and my documents) folders.
I want to install this so that the whole thing is situated on my sd card. Is this possiible?
If so, what folders do you need to create etc, i've tried the obvious ones, like creating a program files and my documents folder on the sd card but as the path is known as \storage card\program files it didn't work
Any advice would be helpful... :/
8) Hi
i installed tt5 no problem. WM2005 ask`s you where you want to install.
the only thing is the zip folder needs to be on the device.
Works fine without postal codes.
:roll: Would be nice if someone could configure tomtom 5 to see zip folder on sd card? :wink:
strange coz my zip folder is on my sd card along with my map.
I could not install tomtom 5 using the installer as it kept crashing when trying to access activesync 4 so had to manually install it by extracting the cab and copying the files manually to the device folders program files and my documents.
I downloaded Cloudyfa's EsmertecJBed and tried to install it on Storage Card, but whether I choose to install it either in Main Memory or Storage Card, it always keep installing in Main Memory.
In order to fix this, I modified the registry settings of the .CAB with WinCE CAB Manager, and now it works fine. It creates /Storage Card/Program Files/EsmertecJBed folder and Appdb folder inside it (where JAVA apps will be installed).
So installation of the program goes OK. But when I try to install .jar it reports "Not enough space" error and stops.
If I create Appdb folder in /Windows folder, installation goes OK, but then aplications will store to Main Memory – and that wasn't idea from the beggining.
Can someone help with this?
How can i install the apk files?
I cp them to my sd card, but their size is zero byte, can't be installed or read profile....
Who can help me?
Best off asking in the android section
if they are 0byte then the files do not appear to have been copied to the device correctly, how are you transferring them?

Hmm ... which apk files have you moved?
Have you moved apk files of not installed apps or already installed apps?
And have you tried to move them by using another app, such as ES Datei Explorer (for not installed apps) or Titanium Backup (for installed apps) form the Market, or the build-in Data explorer (for not installed), or Settings menu => Applications => Manage applications => ... (find your apps) => Move to external sd card (for installed apps)?
If you have not installed an app, you can move the application installation package (apk file) everywhere by using a file browser/manager/explorer app.
But if you have already installed an app, you should not move the apk file as long as you want to use the installed app. Some apps support to be moved to the external sd card, and some don't. The easiest way to find out is to open Settings menu => Applications => Manage applications and have a look at the apps. if you can select the action to move to the external sd card, then the app supports to be moved. Otherwise not.
Good luck !
I transfered the uninstalled .apk files from internal phone storage to sd card and I also used es file explorer and the internal explorer as well...
And one more thing...
If I transfer the folder that contain files then files remain ok... But if I transfer multiple files simultaneously then parsing error showed up upon execution of those files..
Even i have the same issue.... any suggestions?
parsing error
Me too this is driving me crazy more than half of the apk files I put on my 32 GB SD card give me the parsing error:confused
Hi,
I bought a z2 yesterday. formatted my old 16gb microsdcard to use in my z2. I can see the folders and the phone can read my card. So i tried to download a file directly to my external card but it showed me a error lik "no valdi folder" or something like that. After i tried to create a new folder in my card using a file explorer but it gives me a error "operation stopped". Any idea why and any solution?

On Android KitKat applications aren't allowed to modify the files on the SDcard. They are only allowed to place files in their own folders on the SDcard (/SDCard/Android/data/app_name if I remember correctly).
You can fix this only by gaining root access and modifying build.prop.

rooting wouldnt be a problem.. but editing the build prompt..?

Uch, I was wrong about the build.pro. Actually you need to modify "/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml".
Here is some reference:
http://jrummy-apps.com/fix-sdcard-on-kitkat/
Root access is essential.
You can create a folder if you use the file explorer that came pre installed on the z2, all downloads go to internal storage but can be moved to sd card with 'file commander' this is the only app that can create and move folders to the sd card, apps such as astro and es explorer no longer have the permission.
Maybe I misunderstand the problem, but PocketCast can download and save the files to SD card without any problem. So, if this one can...
Yes PocketCast CAN write to the SD card, but only in its own folder, not everywhere. And it could write to a public folder (there are some defined in the Android SDK).
See Jackos post above...
Only software that is installed as system software may modify the files on the SDcard outside their personal folder. For example the build-in file manager.
File Commander (The built in file manager) is able to read and write to external SD. Use it instead of any other third party file manager app.
