No, this has been mentioned a few times. You need to have root to be able to install apps on SD. Once you root you can use Folder Mount or GL to SD

And even if sony would add the feature like samsung and some others did
For example on the sgs4 you can put apps on sd but it will only add the .apk to your sd (i gues you have some heavy games that use your space)
The .obb files still will be on internal sd
So i guess the only way is using foldermoun(or something like that) but that will need root
But keep in mind if you root your phone and don't unlock the bl and you have some problems with the phone and flash stock rom trough xperiatool you will have guarantee

I use FolderMount to move my apps and data to SDCard.
To do that, you have to root your phone. One of my main reason, why I rooted my ZR.
1 thing you should know about this app: you can only move 3 apps/data to SD. You have to buy the premium app to get more than 3, but it's worth it.

I tested it before I rooted my phone. It does change the install location if you check it with:
Code:
adb shell pm get-install-location
But after that, I didn't manage to move the apps or installing the apps directly to SD.
I tested it with the android version 4.2.2, so I don't know if it works with 4.1.2.
Please try to make a mod
External storage "swap" for Xperia Z1. that will be safe for z1
So that we can make external SD card react as our internal storage by doing this we can directly downloads every thing on our SD card and can install more HD games.
Usually 1 HD game have 1GB to 1.5 GB Data and 5 to 6 games fill up all 11 GB available Internal storage in our device, but if we exchange our internal storage with our SD card than we can fulfill our requirements by using a 32GB or 64GB Sd card

Right now I am using Gameloft to SD app for moving all my games to SD card
1) First fix your remount reboot error get it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317432
if you did not have recovery then use windows.exe installation method. Rooted device is requied
2) Download GL to SD app from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp&hl=en
move your games data
3) After moving data you can play games by this method only
3.1) open GL to SD app
3.2) you will see two button on top right side, first button is mount and second one is for unmount
3.3) press the mount button
3.4) Now click on play button which ever game you like to play
4) after close the Gl to SD app all the folders unmounted, so if you want to play again you have to open GL app again and mount the games.

does External swap has anything to do with the RAM?
Swap is normal terminology for offloading the least used data to slower drives. I suspect that the op is asking for a way to use the memory card as internal storage, and vice versa.

Sorry I could be very wrong here, in that case sorry. I thought OP was referring to making a swap partition on the sd-card and using that as swap. I've seen people do this on 'low-RAM' devices to increase multi-tasking a bit. That's why I wondered what he was up to since he has 2 gigs of RAM.

yep he's looking to swap internal storage with ex-sd, I would like to be able to do that too, I have like 2gig left on internal and a 64GB card only being used for camera, photos, videos and very little music
was using that on the XZ but I stopped using it for some reason, don't remember what it was

Hmmm well you could try simlinking your internal storage to your external sd-card, or only do it for specific folders. I never tested this by the way so I have no idea what could happen if you do this, but it's an idea.
Thank you as well by the way!

I tried Folder Mount with that fix, but can't get it to work.
The linked folders will mount, but when launching the moved games, it is asking to download additional files again.
The files from the Install.bat of the fix have correctly installed on my phone as well.
So not sure what is going on.
Can you play moved game successfully on your phone?

Has anyone Done this yet for the z1?
Ive read all the other posts about APPS2SD but none have come up with a solution and im not sure how old they are.
Is it possible yet without Emulating Folders and stuff. None of the apps that i got told to download worked like APPS2SD, GLSD didnt interest me as its not actully moving the files, Titanium doesnt have this feature although people say it has... i have the pro version and it doesnt.
So any help as i have 0 free space now haha.

As far as I am aware this requires a Rooted Rom, and an App like Folder Mount and yes it does Move the Files.
I have about 7 GB worth of Games on my 32 GB SD card and over 9GB free on the Internal storage.

So what rooted rom would you suggest? Im just using a stock rom with a recovery kernel atm.
That folder mount apo wont even install for me... It says not enough storage to install when i have delete apps to space up 3gb worth. Any idea what the prob is? Im guessing its because i dont have a rooted rom....
My fone is rooted and unlocked btw.
Have u got a guide or something to get my apps onto sdcard?

So are you rooted or not? How Folder Mount can give you a message "not enough storage" because of root.. You messing up things.
If you deleted apps to make more space, reboot your phone and Folder Mount should install.

There is not guide or anything for Apps to SD because it's not necessary, use Apps2SD, Folder Mount or Link2SD to move the data. For all of them root is needed. At the moment there is not Rom with script implemented to move data on sd so you have to use 3td parts app.
Hi have rooted my phone... Well ive got superUser asking me permission all the time, and ive got Recovery on my phone and ive flash roms, used root only apps, so im guessing ive rooted my phone lol.
Apps2sd doesnt work on Z1 i know that by reading other posts. and i still cant get that folder mount to install, still says insignificant storage.
anyone no how to unroot and un-unlock bootloader haha, at least i had more space then! lol.

Anyone actually able to move programs to the ext SD card? Ive tried the App2SDIII program but although i get listed apps that support moving, when i click on them and i get into the menu context, there is no moving option at all.

It move data, obb or custom folders to SD and link them to internal storage to let the system read/write from it. Simply.

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.

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.
