Hi, I rooted my Moto E yesterday with the intention of installing apps directly to sd as the moto e offers only very low internal storage. I installed the xposed framework and also installed xinternalsd but I could not get it work. The internal SD card path is set to "/storage/sdcard1" and i have checked the options "Custom path to internal SD card" , "Enable for all apps", "Include system apps" and "Full acess to external sd card" and still it doesn't work.
Isn't it how XinternalSd is supposed to work(Apps install directly to extsdcard)?...Or am i doing something wrong?....Any help would be much appreciated.

I think you mistaken. It not install app to sd. It makes Apps's data to be stored in Sd Card for E.G lets say u hv a big game the game apk stays in phone but its data obb will stay in Sdcard rather than phone. For stability of phone dint enable for system apps and all apps buy select ony Apps one by one u want..

Whatsapp hogs a lot of space on my phone, so I moved its data to the external SD card and then selected Whatsapp from the list of enable for apps in xinternalsd. But Still it doesn't do what it promises..

What class your micro sd have?
Are the apps icon not available on app drawer or on manage application screen to?
Can you still view regular file such as photos on your micro sd?
Can you access SD card? (/sdcard/*)
What ROM do you have? (custom one, original one)
Have some tweaks in it enabled?
Are you using EXT partition?
Do you have custom recovery?

Hmmm, than I can't help for now. I didn't find any information about how it works. I have some experience with using of EXT, mount it into system and remap old app folder to use extended one. Bu I don't know, if this app do this by same way...
Don worry.Its not too big a problem.I had this problem before too.I had to fix it the hard way and that is to format it.So,move your important files to your laptop or pc first.Redownload the apps again.Your sd card may be 'contaminated' I guess. That's my solution for you.Hope it helps.

Maybe sumthngs Wrng wid sd.

Make sure that you are using an SD card with ECC. I've had 3 non-ECC cards go corrupt beyond repair after ~3-6 months. I've used a Transcend Class 6 ECC card for 9 months with no issues.
Every time I try to download anything the default location is the internal sd card. I try to switch it to choose the external sd card but it says "Can't find file or directory. Please make sure your SD card is ready, and USB Mass Storage is turned off."
I can not find the setting for the USB Mass Storage. But I'm able to see the sd card and see the folders and files I have on there with ES File Explorer.
Any help on this! Thanks!

Solved the problem but it requires root. See my tutorial.

In KitKat, write access to external SD card is blocked, you need to wait for a dev to MOD the system to allow for writing to external SD card.

Try using the My Files app that is built in. As it is not third party it should have full access to the SD card
Gladyscoleman said:
You need to install application from Google play store. Apps names are MY File and ES File Explorer File Manager . its a internal application for android and with the help of this you full access of SD Card.
In case of any further assistance please feel free to contact.

Those apps let you read your external sd card. but my original question was about downloading to the external sd card which was already answered by idthiefvictim.

Hi guys,
I'm on Android 4.4.3
Since upgrading to kitkat I have noticed that many apps can't perform functions like delete/move/cut files on sdcard.
Is there any fix for this ?

Run it and then reboot
Press thanx if i helped you in anyway...

yes it is.
could you maybe give a precise example to reproduce (maybe one affected app and the task which you wanted to do)?
on my end i am alwas doing such tasks with es file explorer and never encountered such problems on temasek rom cm11 4.4.3.
but i once had a similiar problem, and the solution was not to use storage/sdcard, but instead to go through data/media/0, there all tasks could be done correctly. But now I haven't these problems anymore.
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!

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.

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.
Hey guys,
I installed CM13 on my Moto E condor and formatted my SD card as internal space. I currently have 13GB of internal space and I installed a few games and now it is showing internal space is running out. I can see from ES explorer I have lots of free space. I can't install apps from Google play store and from apks too. Please help.
Please help if there are any other apps which can do this. I tried using Link2SD but that is showing as "Mount script cannot be created. mount:'/dev/block/vold/179:66'->'/data/sdext2': No such file or directory".

Yes there is but some apps can't be moved to the sd card and if they are moved they stop working...so i suggest you to move only the movable apps throught the settings
If you want to use link2sd, Mount scripts using app2sd than use link2sd..m on 22nd build of cm 13, and m using app2sd:all in one tool
It works perfectly..!?
Hope , I helped you!
