Installation on SD CARD - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

Is there a way to install apps from google play directly to my sd card, without installing them to the internal memory first ???? I have tried the adb cmd line method, but still everything is installing on the internal memory. I wanted to install GTA:SA which requires at least 2.4 GB of free space but I have only 1.8 GB left.

[Q] Help - X10 mini pro

Hello, I have rooted my x10 m pro via superoneclick..then did the 2gb sdcard partition with easeus leaving a result of one 1,5gb fat32 part and another 350mb aprox fat part. Then installed link2sd and everything works fine, I moved all may user apps from the internal memory to the sd partition with root explorer, then did a test downloading and installing some random app from market and link2sd did the right job by installing it directly to the sdcard partition.
But theres a little problem, I downloaded plants vs zombies apk wich size is almost 75mb and its located in the 1,5gb sdcard partition. When I try to install this apk it tells me that theres no enough space. I checked that partition and it has +300mb free, almost the same that the internal memory has and if I try to install it from the internal memory the same warning message appears. Its like link2sd is not doing its job because it doesnt link the installation to the sdcard partition. Any ideas???
Cmon guys, any advice? I wasn´t able to install another apk of 40mb from the sd card, I cant figure out how to install this stuff that doesnt come from the market (I have checked the option to install non market apps)
Try installing a new ROM
sometimes the APp2 Sd and Link2sd don't actually work. best is to try installing a new rom, probably Froyo comb 1.5. there u have a setting to install directly on to the apps. try that
The reason it says not enough space because, the app is first installed in phone memory and then linked to sd card!

how to get apps to install on sdcard instead of internal memory

i have a rooted p769, my internal memory is almost full and i have a 8gig sdcard which is not even being used, i have tried every program out there to try to move apps to sdcard but nothing is working, is there a way i can somehow rename the internal sdcard to external memory and have the external sdcard renamed to internal memory so i can trick the phone into downloading and installing apps to it.
you have to install ext2sd.zip flash via cwm issue will be solve

Moto E Lineage 14.1 issues

Hello Moto E users,
I have a first generation Moto E. Today, I decided to flash Lineage OS 14.1. It worked smoothly, but I saw some serious issues:
1. Root not detected:
- Installed Super SU from Play Store and it doesn't detect root.
-Flashed Super SU from LineageOs website and Super SU did not get installed.
Apparently, you don't need the Super Su app, all you need to do is flash the zip and enable root in developer options.
2. Memory card not detected in PC:
One of the regions that I upgraded to 7.1 was because of the low internal memory. After I formatted my SD card, it says total 18 gb in settings. But, when I connect it to PC, only pure internal memory is shown i.e. 2 GB. I cannot copy my backed up songs, pics and videos to SD card from PC.
3. Moving apps from internal to SD card or vice versa doesn't work
It says not enough space for the smallest apps even if there is more than enough space.
This can be solved by enabling Force apps move to external SD card settings on developer option and after enabling it, just uninstall the app which don't move and reinstall it from play store . The app now automatically installed on external storage .
4. Apps not working under certain conditions
When install LineageOS for the first time, we get a setup Lexar SD option. If we decide to use it as internal storage, we get two options:
i. Move Now (around 500mb will be freed)
ii. Move Later
Choosing move now will free space in internal card but any apps installed in external will not work. Choosing move later fixes it.

1. Did you enable "Root access" in Developer options after flashing Lineage's su? It didn't come with any Super SU when I flashed it. Instead I used ES File Explorer, which has some good root-related options (uninstall system apps, startup manager etc).
2. I have used my SD Card in both ways (as media storage and as an Internal Storage adjacent) and I only could see the SD Card on the PC after going to Dev Options>Networking>Select USB Configuration, then selecting 'Charging' and then changing back to 'MTP'.
3.~~
4. I think that if you use your SD Card as internal storage, then your apps are installed in it since it's the only option (your SD Card becomes part of the Internal Storage). I had a tense afternoon trying to get Gallery to work well, it kept on saying "no external storage available", and only after chosing the SD Card as internal storage Gallery and some other apps started working properly.
My personal opinion: Android 7 will not have an option for external storage, and the fact that moto E has the option to run a SD Card as ext storage may be bugging the system.
I'm really no specialist, I have only been using this ROM for a day or two.

Thanks a bunch for the tips!!!
1. Yes, I figured that one out. However, I have moved on from ES due to excessive stuff and ads in it.
2. Ok I found out the possible solution. In order for the USB storage to appear in PC when it is formatted as internal, I have to migrate data from internal memory to SD card. However, as mentioned above in Step 4, doing so will make the apps installed in external not usable at all. They just wont open. So for them to work, I have to migrate data to internal again. Pain in the a** if you ask me.
I don't have a card reader right now, but I'll probably attempt the good old Link2Sd again. Hope it gets fixed soon.
Hi all. I have installed LOS 14.1 on my XT1021 Moto E (Condor). Everything is working fine except for GPS. It doesn't switch on at all, except sometimes after many reboots and some cache wiping. Any idea? Thanks.
Internal Storage Space
How much internal storage space is available after installing lineage os on moto e xt1022 ?

Confusion As To Internal Storage Space After Download

Hi!
I had 3.10 GB free space in my Internal Memory. I downloaded Dungeon Hunter 4 which is written as requiring 0.96 GB.
So after download and installing, i had 2.78 GB free space in my Internal Storage.
Shouldn't that be 2.14!??? I'm really confused right now.
You may say that maybe during download, the phone cleared caches just in case but i did cleared caches myself manually before downloading so what gives?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Another Question
Asphalt 8 is listed as needing a free space of 98MB. It then made an additional download of 1.3 GB.
Now my internal storage after this was still around 2.78.
I understand that it downloaded the 98MB part to internal memory and the rest to the SD Card. So effectively, installing the game to SD Card? Seems neat.
So on Android, on storage settings, the part listed as app is the one installed in the internal memory and the part listed as data is installed on SD Card. It's true for all applications on Android, correct?
Please excuse my confusion. This is the first time i'm having an experience of Android.
