I got HTC 8X with built in storage 16GB.
How can I manually install Apps on HTC 8X since it has built in storage [no SD Card]?
I can transfer the apps using USB cable, but there is no option in the store to install it

You can't. If you want to install xap gotten from developers, you need a developer account. If you want to install xap from the windows phone website, you can't.

If we dont have a SD card, could we move apps downloaded to the space you have on the phone when you connect it to the PC ? Does it need to go to a Apps folder or just in the root ?

Maybe next time you would like to look up the specs of the device in question, the 8X which DOES NOT have an sdcard.

No. An explicit sd card is needed.
I have a Nokia 822 with an SD card and I followed the instructions by coping the XAPs to my SD card and tapping on the store tile but the SD card doesn't show up..What am I doing wrong?
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/How-to/wp8/apps/how-do-i-install-apps-from-an-sd-card
If you've just inserted the SD card or added the .XAP files, you might need to wait a few minutes before you can access your SD card from the Store.

Remember - by this method you can install ONLY original apps downloaded from market store.

Hi all! I have been lurking for about 2 weeks and am now a member. 1st post
My unrooted NC is running great with Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 via SD card. I used a Sandisk 8GB (Class 2 ) from an old Blackberry Storm. Being a Class 2, I had my doubts on the SD card but good ol' Sandisk came through. Everything (YouTube/Market/Mail/Facebook/Pandora/Games/etc) is working fine and smoothly for the past 2 days. I hope it stays that way.
Here are my questions:
1). Is there a File Manager already pre-installed with the NF ROM? If not, which one should I get from Market?
2). I have SetCPU (apk file) on my Win7 laptop hard drive. What is the easiest way to install this since I am booting NF ROM via SD card already?
Thanks in advance
1) Not sure, but i've read Root Explorer or Astro File Manager
2) I used ADB. you can get that from the android sdk. Its fairly simple.

Will ADB work if I am not rooted & my ROM is in the SD card? Is it possible to access the apk via email in NC and then save?
Or maybe via SD card reader on laptop? Where do I drop the file?
The ROM you are running, same as I am running, comes with Astro file manager. The easiest way to transfer files is to get a free Dropbox account, if you would like you can use my referral.

That's the same way I did it. Loaded Froyo from SD, pushed file via ADB. Gotta search for the command lines though.

Once you install the dropbox app on your PC and phone you just drop the apk into your PC dropbox and then download it, using dropbox on your phone. Go to the dropbox folder on your SD using Astro and just tap on the apk and viola it is installed. Dropbox is basically cloud storage that you can sync to multiple devices.

Suh-weet I know what Dropbox is (on my iPad), but I didn't know it was *that* easy to install apk files
Hmmm, there's no Astro in my copy of NF 0.6.8.

I use Foldermount, it doesn't install them om SD but once installed you can move the LARGE data to SD which comes with alot of the HD games, You have to be rooted though to use it. It's available on the Play Store.
Me too want to know how

But you cant play the game if you moved the data file that way. Kind of pointless?

Yes, you can. That is the whole point of Foldermount. It links the files you moved to their original location, so the game works as normal.

Basically you have to install folder mount open it (of course), grant super user access, click list of pairs on top, click apps analyser (which is spelt - analyzer), here it will show you a list of apps with the biggest size first so click the one you want to link to the sd card, here it will show you maybe the data and obb and you have to click create pair on the right hand side, it will take a minute or so for it to do, it will show you in the notification bar anyway, once done go back once and click apps analyzer again at the top and then click list of pairs here you will see the list of linked apps with a drawing pin on the right hand side when they are in the sd card the pin is grey and if you click the pin it will turn green and it will link it back into the internal memory so you can play/open the app and use when finished using just go back into folder mount and unpin it or if you are going to go back into that particular later on you can just keep it linked, the idea is that when the apps are not in use all of the data stays on the sd card to preserve internal memory, its only really big apps you need to do this with like gta etc... also when the pin is green the app remains in both the sd card and internal storage, so basically the apps are sort of dormant until you want to use them but it saves memory on the internal storage anyway, so basically install folder mount link the game/app to sd and when you want to use it link it so the internal storage, if you get folder mount for free you can only have three pairs but if you purchase it like I did you can link as many apps as you like as long as you have enough memory on your card lol and to support the developer
hope this helps

Did you download them from windowsphone.com? If so, restart the phone and they will appear in the store.
If they are unencrypted xaps, you can't install them from the SD but you need the Windows Phone SDK
i download from internet and in usb storage i make folder SD Card,restart phone,but nothing appear in store...
Go read the forum rules, then let us know if there's a good reason this thread shouldn't be locked by the moderators. I'm not going to assume anything - maybe you mean XDA when you said "from internet" and you just don't know how to use sear h or even how to read the response above you - but it sounds a bit fishy.

An SD card is a physical storage device, which can be inserted into specific phones (and other devices).
Creating a folder called 'SD Card' or any other name for that matter using usb storage, will not result in the phone 'detecting' that folder as a virtual SD card.
Your phone (the HTC WP8X) does not have an physical SD card slot, so sideloading store apps is simply not possible for you.
The only apps you CAN sideload are non-encrypted XAPs, which was given to you by a developer or you created yourself. There is currently no way to sideload encrypted XAP files without an SD card slot, nor is there a way to decrypt these XAPs for other sideloading means.

On the official Windows Phone store if you scroll down to the bottom, it gives you the ability to download a .xap manual and sideload apps. I myself am trying to figure out how to get these .xap loaded as they aren't appearing in my store either.

X2 memory
Hello once again guys. I use external2internal app to swap between internal memory and sd on my XL and i tried using it on X2 but it does not work. Read somewhere that It’s an app not compatible with android 4.3 because of the vold file. Is there any app so we can install our big apps directly to sd? Thanks and keep up the great work.

hi, i have a problem.. i cant move games/install games on sd card. the phone has factory function of moving games on sd car but when i press move and it finishes its job nothing changes, when i check the game it says that space occupied on sd card is ex.500 mb but its still using internal memory and these 500 mbs are used from internal memory, app2sd, link2sd nothing helps what to do?
Alright. I have the new $50 tablet with (Sadly) 5.1.1 on it, meaning I can't root. I understand that is a separate issue. I wanted to ask you all about the SD Card, since my onboard storage is almost all gone. Is there a way to route all downloads to the SDcard? For instance, just set up the downloads folder to cut and paste automatically into the SD card? I understand I can't r/w without root access, but I need to know if there is any workaround. I use an app for downloading movies and T.V. shows but it downloads by default to the onboard storage, which doesn't have enough room for the files, so downloading them then cutting and pasting is not a solution.
Any help is appreciated!
I know for fact that all apps you install must first go to internal storage. Maybe try using some other app for shows and movies? There must be an option to change download location.

Download ES file explorer, and when you initiate a download, select to open it with es file explorer. there is no way to set chrome to download to your SD card.

If you install the 5.1.1 FireOS OTA fastboot commands will be blocked. Since we don't have an unlocked bootloader we have to boot twrp from fastboot every time we need recovery for anything. Without fastboot, the device is completely crippled and stuck on FireOS with no way to get any other roms installed.

I assume no. The files are downloaded to the internal by default and you can move it from sdcard0/Android/obb to sdcard1/Android/obb but then the game will not run. It also happens with AVP Evolution.

Usually you can move the .apk to sd card but not the obb file.
If you are rooted and use xposed there is a module called 'Obb2sd' which allows you to move the obb files over to external sd and the game/app will still run.

Sorry for the rant... I must get pissed she ever I think about it. Rooting is the ONLY reason I bought this thing...
Any tests or help I can provide?
If you are rooted you can use Foldermount to create symlinks to redirect internal storage to the microSD. I use it to redirect the internal Download folder to the microSD card. You could use it to redirect cache folders etc too.
