tx bro..but is there any alternative for transfer or will it be available in future?

I use FolderMount to mount an folder from externSD to internSD. So for instance, it is able to swap out things from internSD to externSD. Maybe the DCIM-Folder or the Aura-Folder(Sygic Navi Maps).
sample...
You have to create DCIM Folder on both SDpartitions. On externSD insert some stuff to the DICM. Mount with FolderMount to intern. By the nature of mounting, if you put stuff in intern DISM it is written to extern DISM but apears in both...
since Android 4.2 it is difficult

[Q] Xperia V - move application to micro SD

I have alerte from my V that the memory is almost full
I would like to know how can i move applicatiobn to the micro SD because the only option that i have in the menu "application" is to move from phone to internal storage
Someone have the solution to really use complementary memory or are we limited to the 4gb included into the phone for application ?
Thanks in advance
Use Link2SD. It can move applications to the SD card
Thank you but it doesnt work.
Infact android consider the second part of internal memory as a sd card and don t see the real card to move the application
The V have 3 memories :
Memory of phone
Internal memory
Sd card
The solution should be to invers the internal memoory and the sd card but how ?
Use directory bind. Works perfectly in mine.

Thanks i m looking forward an easy method to root my phone and i will try it
works good with directory bind.
I have some problem with directory bind.
The default is sdcard/ext scard. I supposed this is gears towards Samsung devices.
How do we do it in V?.
Or any other apps that does the same?

Just enter source from ext_card and target to sdcard. Works perfectly. Btw, I let directory bind do the transfer (check transfer files)

does anyone have problem saving the data into the sdcard when directory bind active ?
i mean , when you copy , for example music, from PC to sdcard through USB cable ,, the copied files unseen in sdcard ...

[Q] Make Spotify cache offline playlists to SD card

Saw a similar post in the Samsung section, but playlists still downloads on the internal and not the SD.
Any working solution for Xperia on that topic?
Heres the link to the other thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984322
I used that method on my Xperia Z, and it worked absolutely fine.
And you watched the storage bar decrease on the card, and not the phone?
When you entered the path in Spotify, did it say storage/sdcard0 ?
I also looked for any Spotify file under /android, but couldnt find any...
Yeah the storage bar on my sdcard decreased. At first it said storage/sdcard0, and so I changed it to sdcard1.
Got it now, changing to sdcard1did it, but i had to reboot first...
Thanks mate!!!
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Thois method will work you just have to change the location on the old spotify app from /storage/sdcard0 to /storage/sdcard1 OR you can use /mnt/ext_card ether on works
Didnt have to change any location, just replace path sdcard0 with sdcard1

[Q] [q] external sd

guys, i just bought this phone n a 32 GB mmc
but i just found out we cant install to external SD
i try using adb shell set-install-location 2
but then i cant install anything it said "not enogh memory" so i had to return it back to 0
later i found out using shiaomi that this phone thinks its internal SD is both internal n external
cant we do anything about it?
btw my phone's bootloader is locked and it said it cannot be unlocked, does that mean i will not be able to root this phone for all eternity?
Please post your questions in the Q&A thread in future...
Thread moved.
They are working on a way to root for locked bootloader. You can send pics movies music etc to SD card. but not apps or data......I only found this out after buying the phone.
If they find way to root for locked bootloader then you might be able to use link 2sd and create partition, which you can then send the apps to the the SD card and create links so it looks like they are on internal memory

In the phone settings, there is a handy menu that says "Transfer data to SD card". It automatically cleans your media files from internal memory and moves them to external SD card. At least this should free some space for your apps.
Root is now available look in dev section for doomlords root tool

Don't know about the mod with the link above mate.
Try with doomlord's method. Don't think you could get problems. Otherwise post on root's thread and ask if it's possible

The combination of two programs (link2sd & foldermount) that u have mentioned are worked but i have 2 problems
1.link2sd does'nt move all apps and some of them take error
2.foldermount just pair apps and increase internal storage from ( setting/storage) and this section is good but my problem is this :
in the root explorer i check my free memory and see the data folder in both of source. like this : sdcard0/android/data/com.rockstar.gta3 & sdcard1/android/data/com.rockstar.gta3
this means in 2 storage (int & ext) contains data folders!
what can i do?
To use link2sd you need to make partition on ext card and set it to primary i used free easeus partition tool to make partition you won't lose data. You need to use pc and sd card connected to pc without phone.
I have 32gig card and made a 4gig partition.then you can send apps to ext card by creating a link
Foldermount you need to create a folder on ext card eg game data then create separate folder for each game/app you want to move.
open foldermount app then give the app you are moving a name,select folder you are copying then select where you want to move data to ie the folder you created on ext SD card then select go
When files have been m moved you need to press the pin and make sure it goes green.
this app will pair the folder and files and trick phone into seeing file on internal memory but are really in SD card, it may seem that it has copied it twice, it has not.
I have asphalt 7, real racing 3 NFS most wanted,NFS shift plus others that all have extra data between 200mb-600mb installed when these are on internal I only had 1-1.5 gig spare and constantly being told to move data as system apps where not running.
By using these apps I have over 4.5gig spare.
think of these apps like making shortcuts on pc desktop that's all they do is move data by creating link to internal and ext card.
If you are having issues with apps they both have xda threads where the devs are active in answering questions
I can't give any more info sorry these worked for me and found them very easy to use and set up that why I mentioned them if they are not working maybe try the swap internal/external trick which is posted in Sp thread

This is normal
Android always seek first mounted storage memory, in this case, sdcard0 for store any files first
After that, you can move it to another directory
You can do nothing for this behaviour, except you change OS system behaviour itself

Xperia Z1 and sd card

Hi, before buying The Xperia Z1, i would like to know if the device allows "Move to sd card" for apps and games, anyone can help?
Nope not yet maybe in the next update
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
you can write your own scripts app to sd or use titanium app to link folders. there are plenty of work around with out app. but you need to know adb and other scripts for it to work. if you code and understands linux, you should know some work around for app to sd. Of course you Need Unlocked Bootloader and Full Root access. linking apps with folders, direction can be used similar to Google Music folder link to external SD.
oh btw, you can choose any phone, not just Z1. cause most runs with OEM customized UI with limitations.
your best bet is running a Phone with stock closely related with out restriction.
