[Q] Directly install apps on SDCard? - Sony Xperia T2 Ultra

Is it possible to install apps directly from play store to Micro SD Card? Since i don't have required space on my phone memory for big games like Asphalt 8.

Nope..Unfortunately you cant in Xperia T2 Ultra...but you can use apps like gl2sd to move heavy games to sd card...and ofcourse you need to root your phone for this...

I know abt that with root i can do that, But still i have to move the apps manually. Actually i was looking for something which directly install apps on SD Card. Thanks by the way!

I prefer Foldermount. Lets me mount at boot and it's more versatile.
Did anyone get link2sd to work? I got bootloops
But that was before I did a full root, maybe I should try it again.

Link2SD works perfectly fine on my phone. Rooted with Super SU, Bootloader locked! However you should note that, since the Firmware we are using is stock firmware, it might not have support for EXT2, 3, 4 filesystems as the second parititon of the SD Card, I already tried, so you're going to have to format the second parititon of your SD card using FAT32,using minitool home parititon wizard, then use LINK2SD, it should work perfect. But even then, you can move the App, Dex files and Lib files, which work fine for apps, but the games have an additional SD data or OBB files, which cant be moved to SD card. Meaning to perfectly play games on our Xperia M, you need to have a combination of Link2SD and GL to SD apps, GL to SD helps link./ mount the games on SD card and bind them to the apps, and make them appear as if they were on the internal SD.

Download link2sd and install the app,
Then, connect your memory card via a card reader.
Download Mini Tool Home Partition Wizard(Google it)
open the Mini Tool and select your memory card,
Assuming you backed up the data on your memory card,
Format the drive for best results, and create a new parition, File type FAT32. Type: PRIMARY!! Set the file size...
Leave whatever amount of space you want for the Apps partition.
Then create another partition on the SD card.
It will say that the second partition will not be viewable on Windows, Click OK.
Then change partition type to FAT32... Size is your wish. And Type: Primary!!
Then save changes, Now you should have two partitions on your SD card,
Both are FAT32 and both are PRIMARY!!! -This is necessary.
Then put back the Mem card in the phone,
Open LINK2SD, select second partition as FAT32, reboot the phone, and
You should be able to now expand the memory of your phone... Transfer apps to Memory card!

Sony Xperia M and running apps from SD

I just bought a Sony Xperia M and a 32GB sdcard to install apps and games on it, but figured it is not as simple as it sounds.
I would like to run games from my SD card, if possible without rooting as my phone is brand new and would not like to mess something up.
Nevermind, I have just rooted my device using this guide.
However, how do I enable App2SD and fix the restart bug?

[Q] New Firmware for Xperia M 1905 without solving storrage problem?

Hello Everybody.
The new firmware (Android 4.3 - firmware 15.4.A.1.9) is still not able to move apps and other data to externel SDcard, isn´t it?
So I have to change the whole system on the Xperia M into antotherone which provides this function?
Which one would this be?
Thank you very much.

A bold and noble question, deserving of being in the Q&A forum and not the General forum.
Start out with Link2SD Plus as you've not define any gaming requirements in your question.
I have 73 Google Play apps installed and 1.75GB free on internal storage.
The paid 'plus' version of Link2SD allows app data to be moved to an external partition on the SDcard. Also if using an external partition don't skimp on using a quality SDcard with at least 40MBytes read access.
Link2SD won't help installing the likes of games like Modern Combat 4 and etc in which case you need another solution.
Update - Oh, the above assumes you have root access on your phone. [emoji6]

My girlfriend bought this handy with an 32gb external SDcard.
With her old handy Sony-Ericsson Live (Android 2.3) she was able to move apps etc. on the external SDcard and never had problems with space.
She would like to have this function on her Xperia M.
Link2SD, Foldermount etc. are not working proberly or beeing to complicated for her.
I thought with this new update the Xperia will have this function because a lot of users complaint about this problem.
Sorry about asking this question in the wrong area.

Ah, German. [emoji3] re: handy
They stopped providing default move data/app to SDcard circa Android 4.1
You'd need to buy a phone with at least 4gb+ of internal flash such as Xperia L if you want a turn key solution.
There are many how-to tutorials on installing and setting up Link2SD and once setup, it looks after itself. It'll automatically move data to SDcard if app allows it or can be manually linked.
No solutions by default to move data to SDcard on the Xperia M.
You'll need root access and a system mod/application to do that.
In settings ->storage there is an option to move pics , music and videos to SDcard, but it's just a cleanup to recover space.
Camera also has option to store photos on SDcard

Hey.
Yes German. I´m sorry. Mobile phone .
The option on the camera to store the pics on SD is set and the option to move pics vids ore music on SD shows 0 files.
Ok, no default solution for Xperia M. But other mobile phones/androids are supporting this function further on?
Now I have to check up the possibilities to get this function. Link2SD, App2SD or Swapping the SDcard with internal space?
I don´t know which would be the best way...
Sony does have the option to use the external SD as primary storage in Android 4.3, they just chose not to at this time. KK 4.4 has another approach to storage location again.
I have no idea if there'll be further fw updates for the Xperia M.
I would suggest root access for the handy first and then Link2SD unless your requirements dictate other requirements.
If using the SD card as external storage and the card is not a class10 or better, I'd consider a new 32GB card (e.g. 32GB SanDisk Extreme 45MB read)

Hello and thanks a lot for your advice.
The Swapping Tool sounds interessting.
How get i started?
Downloading the .zip, extract it...?
adb and drivers means, the Sony Companion is running and detecting the mobile phone?
To root the handy i use Framaroot, is that ok?
What I have to do else bevor running the install.bat?
Thank you very much for your support.

The problem is due to move to sd option - when you move apps to SD card using move to SD option what is happening is only some part of app is moved to external SD card and some part remains in the internal memory...so when you switch off your mobile the external sd card automatically gets unmounted & all the apps which has link to it gets broken & shortcuts gets deleted. when you switch on your phone the external sd card gets mounted & you can find all your apps in the main apps section but the shortcuts no longer appear & you have to again create them.:crying:

Low Internal Memory Problem RESOLVED

Guys, In this post I am discussing certain important issues of our T2 Ultra and the ways to work around those issues.
After updating to Kitkat firmware, the ability for third party apps to write to our External SD cards was lost, like not able to download movies through torrents directly to our External SD card.
Secondly, the Move to SD card option made availaible by Sony is nothing similar to what we all think. It DOES NOT transfer major portion of the data to our External SD cards, rather a tiny fragment, which is safe to say, is not like moving it anywhere at all.
Thirdly, the RAM, as specified in numerous reviews and websites, our phone DOES NOT have 1GB RAM. It has 856MB to be exact. Thats an entire 140+ MB less. This has its effects on multi tasking, as u might have observed, while returning to the home screen after using some apps, it takes time for the screen to load apps onto it.
All these are serious problems, considering we paid a decent price for this phone and didnt get what we exactly needed.
Luckily, there is a work around.
First thing, u have to ROOT your phone. If u just search around the this forum, ul find plenty ways to do it.
To solve the problem of not being able to write to External SD cards in-app, u have to download 'Nextapp sdfix' from google playstore. Once downloaded, u can follow the instructions and the issue gets resolved. Its 100% working.
Now to solve the issue of moving apps to External SD card, u have to download 'Folder Mount' app from playstore. Once done, u can easily mount the folders of ur heavy apps like games onto ur External SD card, and it clears space on your Internal SD card. It works very well.
Lastly, to solve the RAM issue, ofcourse we cant increase the RAM by any way but we can smartly clear off the unwanted apps running in the background and gain most of the RAM.
'Fast Reboot' app does just that! Small app with big function, just download it from the playstore, it will put a green icon on ur homescreen, and all u have to do is to just click on it! Simple. It clears out all the RAM and u can directly notice the difference! It gives me 300+ RAM free everytime after using it.
Thats it guys, all your RAM and Internal memory storage problems should get resolved by this.
Hit thanks if helped.

Even though I installed an external micro sd card, I am unable to install the new apps you specify.
1 I guess I have to uninstall some apps, to make room
2 Install the apps you specify
3 Move some apps out to the sd card
4 reinstall the apps I deleted
I guess I will figure it out
but thanks again for the good information:good:

First thing, u have to ROOT your phone. If u just search around the this forum, ul find plenty ways to do it.
To solve the problem of not being able to write to External SD cards in-app, u have to download 'Nextapp sdfix' from google playstore. Once downloaded, u can follow the instructions and the issue gets resolved. Its 100% working.
Now to solve the issue of moving apps to External SD card, u have to download 'Folder Mount' app from playstore. Once done, u can easily mount the folders of ur heavy apps like games onto ur External SD card, and it clears space on your Internal SD card. It works very well.
Lastly, to solve the RAM issue, ofcourse we cant increase the RAM by any way but we can smartly clear off the unwanted apps running in the background and gain most of the RAM.
'Fast Reboot' app does just that! Small app with big function, just download it from the playstore, it will put a green icon on ur homescreen, and all u have to do is to just click on it! Simple. It clears out all the RAM and u can directly notice the difference! It gives me 300+ RAM free everytime after using it.
Thats it guys, all your RAM and Internal memory storage problems should get resolved by this.
Hit thanks if helped.
