The games themes and varoius aother apps are in apk format just upload them to a folder in memory card and then disconnect the usb cable from phone access this folder and install those apk
..ithink,u don't need to disconnect the phone to check it...u can check & test everything with phone connected.use file explorer from phone!
Get Apps -> the easiest way to get apps is to use the Android Market
-> or get the app apk files from the internet and put them to the
SD card and install them with your file explorer

Umm sorry i do not understand you at all :l but if u want to install apps from sd card , it must be an .apk file type. and u need to turn on unknown sources , download es explorer from play store , and open the app navigate to the place where u put the .apk files . if you want to move to sd card then go to setting > apps > select app > move sd card . dont move widgets or they wont show up.
hope you understand if not then say it in ur language and ill try to translate
also .. if you say that you dont have Google Apps = google play store / android market ... then this is a problem...
You'll need to reflash .ftf or easier way is to root , install cwm and flash Gapps.. and if you dont know how to do this then check the stickys

Well, if you download *.apk files directly on your phone using the browser then you should be able to install them from the "downloads" screen. If you put them on your sd card using your pc you'll need a file manager, yes.

is there any way to make apps save to phone when i download to use it again or send it to other phone if i want ??
please help me with two question
Firstly.... all installed apps .. will always go to internal memory.. you have to move them to SD card by partitioning it and using link2sd..
You need to use an app called explorer to see ur apps on system or data

Downloaded apps from Google Play will not be in the download folder. They are installed when downloaded. If you download an apk or other type file from a file sharing or other network it will be in the download folder.
Your game data can be found in system/android/app/data.
if u want to totally moved al of your app.
u must root ur solo first..
and u can use app like link2sd or app2sd
the problem is that phone consider the internal card is ( SDCARD ) !!
i install LINK2SD but didn't help because it move apps to internal card again consider it as (SDCARD )
i hope you understand me

Sony Xperia J Problem Please Help!!! :(

I have a Sony Xperia J, and the performance and among others are excellent, but I have a problem due to my own stupidity in using others product memory card loader and screw-up the whole system.
Basically I didn't brick my device it still boot perfectly but the problem is, after boot-up it will shows the error message "Unfortunately, com.sonyericsson.usbux has stopped" = PC can't recognize my device anymor and my device won't recognize the internal and external card anymore.
Is there anyone can help me step by step on how to edit the '\system\ect\vold.fstab' and replace the content of that file, then I think this will solve the problem.
The problem arise when I replaced the file '\system\ect\vold.fstab' with froyo edited version.
Thanks in advance,
Aavatar(a.k.a. Paul Tsen)
You should try replacing the vold.fstab with the stock one. Extract it from a stock ftf for your phone

I have the stock vold.fstab, I've backed up but I can't replace the file cause the \System\ect\ folder are read only and I can't even copy the stock vold.fstab into my device. Any suggestion on how to copy the stock vold.fstab back to the \system\ect\?
Thanks in advance.
I Have the Same Problem......
Hi i have the same problem, and im advance in the solution first you have to search the app "SOLID EXPLORER" this app lets you make modifications even if the folder is in "read-only mode" now you can modify the vold.fstab file, im stuck here because i dont know how to code the file, so please help me to find the solution.

For your info 'SOLID EXPLORER' does not have any root access and cannot edit protected folder file so can't do anything, but anyhow I've send back my device to Sony Center for RMA and just get back a new replacement, thanks for the reply anyway.
For an advice, next time anyone that wanted to edit or replace the vold.fstab file, copy to root and rename it to vold.fstab.bak so that if you screw up you still can use the root explorer to copy it back to the /system/ect/ folder.

Now I have a much safer solution for this, I use 2 apps(DirectoryBind and Link2SD both need root access) in order to achieve everything.
1. Partition your External SD Card for use with Link2SD(for my case I'm using a 16gb Class 10 SD Card 1st partition takes whatever space and
leave 1gb for 2nd Partition Primary and format = FAT32)
2. Install Link2SD(from PlayStore) and assign the 2nd partition(make sure you have root access).
3. Check the Auto Link in Link2SD Preference
4. Select External in Install Location(Link2SD)
5. Install DirectoryBind,
6. Create a folder name Bind(or whatever you like to call it) for placing all the bind folders.
7. Create a another folder called 'android' inside 'Bind' folder eg:- /Bind/android/ (for PlayStore Apps Data)
8. Create another folder called 'Gameloft' (if you intended to install gameloft games) and create another 'Gameloft' folder in Internal Storage
9. Now add the External SD Card /Bind/android/ to Source (Data) Path at DirectoryBind and Internal Storage Android /SDCard/android/ to
Mount (target) path, check the 'Transfer files from target to data' (if the source android folder isn't empty) and press Add.
10. Do step 9 with Gameloft folder
11. Select Bind all checked to activate
12. Do the same step 9 for all others apps that create own forlder in internal storage such as Sygic create 'Aura' Folder in your internal storage.
Now you are done and any apps from Playstore or Gameloft the default apps will be linked(placed) in Ext SD Card 2nd partition and Data to Ext SD Card Bind folder
Have fun!!!!!
Sony Xperia J Widgets Removing Problems
I have experienced an hair splitting problem to remove short cuts and widgets from Home screen.
The herculean task never shown any results so far. If this gadget is meant for only computer wizards
why the hell the sell it for the common man ! This is impossible for any user. Only the creator can
solve the entangled knots. They should not have sent this model to show cases for public. Please
help if any egg- head can solve it...

ES File Explorer Help

A couple of questions,
I used to use this app on the HTC One (M7),
-i was able to create folders and move files around
-also had an option on some websites including facebook to download via 'ES Downloader' when i clicked on a video.
now on the Z2
-creating folder and moving files around is not possible anymore, am using the 'File Commander' app that is preintalled to do so
i needed this function as the Z2 internal storage is just not enough, have to move media files to the SD card.
(have seen somewhere that KitKat has stopped this function on the ES app, this true?
-no option of the ES downloader to download videos anymore when i click on a video, it just goes straight to playback.
i'm not sure if its the KitKat thing, because my HTC One was on KitKat also when i was able to do all the above mentioned
and feedback is greatly appreciated
TIA
****Both devices are NOT rooted
You need to root to write on SD card with ES.
to clear things up
both the devices are factory without root
HTC probably did something to make it work. KitKat issue though. Only file commander seems to work like u said.

You need to edit the platform.xml file under system/etc/permissions/ in order for any "USER" app to edit the external SD card.
This is a KitKat issue (not Sony).
Google for instructions.

hope that clears it up for you.
Because i download quite a few videos, and those apps initially have the download content on the internal storage, being this phone only has 16GB, it's now such a pain
i'm no android system pro and really not confident in editing or changing any of the factory settings, i probably will just carry on and do the download then use the File Commander to move the content from internal to SD
