I know with Android 4.4.4 you cannot install apps on the microSD card (only pictures, videos, music, back-ups, etc.). But what about Android 5.0? Will I be able to install apps on the microSD card? Trying to see if getting a microSD card is worth it.
I tried cm12 for a while and I had no problem moving apps to sdcard... So I think we'll be able to!!

Thanks but I just got my phone last month and it's my first Android phone/experience. I'm not into modding/rooting right now so I'm referring to the stock Android 5.0 experience/capabilities.

There's no such thing as stock 5.0 on z3c yet
So far you can move apps on 5.0 to SD.

Just received a nook hd + 32gb as a gift (2.0.6) as I failed to realize auto update would intiate, is there anyway to root it on this version or install the google app store somehow, im struggling to understand the micro sd process and cmw so any help would be appreciated. sorry for this post but im finding it hard to get my head round compared to jailbreaking an ipod ect.
yes see this thread it's easy. I just got the 32 GB HD+ myself and everything works great! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
The normal way to root stock/install gapps is the same for 2.0.5 as for 2.0.6
The microsd process is listed out very easily on that thread
Hi All!
Today i bought an XPERIA SP after a long research about specs and Features. However, Turned out that the APPs are not Moveable to SD Card.
I have a 32 GB card Installed which i believe is Useless if you cannot use them for the Applications, Rather than having to stuff it all in Internal Memory and choke its speed down.
I wanted to know if there is a way to Install the Apps to SD Card. [Mostly large Games].
What is the easiest Possible way to achieve it?
Note: I know that there is a way by rooting it but i am trying to avoid it.
But if Rooting is the Only way i have, I need to know, Should i root it to the Latest version or the Current Build Version? (Noob at Rooting, Never Rooted any device before).
Or should i Update the Build Via Sony PC Companion to the Latest version then ROOT it?
Android Version: 4.1.2.
Build Version: 12.0.A.2.254.
Thanks!

Without root you can't put your data on the SD card. You can check out the android development section for rooting tutorials

If you want to root your phone don't update, because to root our phone (at the time) its only possible in 4.1 version, so if you update to 4.3 you would have to downgrade to root it and that can be a bit confusing.
About moving apps to SD card its not possible, if you root the phone and use a third party app to do so it wont work because the phone don't allow unfortunately... I recently install the cyanogen mod 11 kitkat to see if was a rom problem but it isnt the phone dont allow it.
If theres a way to move apps to sd i would like to now, but apps like move2SD... wont work
ps. sorry for my english

Will this Do?

You can use foldermount, but this app needs root. So without root you cant move apps or data from (big) apps to the SD-card. But with root foldermount works pretty good.

That will do (; and after you rooted and reflashed kernel, see if the phone charges when plugged without booting. I used my own firmware kernel for this and I didn't get the offline charging bug, but some others unfortunately did. Happy rooting

Hello there!
Ever since I updated to the latest 4.4.4 update I have been having problems with Spotify crashing and playlists not staying downloaded. I also rooted my device around the same time I updated so my question is, do you guys think that rooting could have messed up Spotify or is it Android 4.4.4 related? Anyone else having the same problems or have an idea of what to do? :cyclops:

Alright, i'll give it a try. Even though it appears to be writing to the Sd-card just fine:silly:
Okay, so after soak test version of lollipop rolled out, we have seen lots of Moto Es being hard bricked by people including me while they tried to downgrade back to KitKat. So, this question is for all those people who did that; I am asking this out of curiosity: Why did you downgrade from lollipop to Kitkat in the first place? What was your reason?
I tried to downgrade because Link2SD was not working on lollipop in the way it is supposed to work (mount scripts not working at all, hence 2nd partition not getting mounted automatically at boot thus loosing all apps linked to SD card after rebooting). This "linking" thing was the primary reason I decided to root my phone. I wanted loads of apps on my phone which is impossible to have without Link2SD or similar apps like Mount2SD (which don't work either because Moto E's lollipop simply wouldn't run any init.d scripts during boot thus breaking all such applications). I don't plan to upgrade to lollipop unless this problem is solved because Moto E is nothing without Link2SD with its mere 2.1 GB of internal free space it offers. It vanishes within a blink of an eye. I had 250+ apps on Moto E running smoothly on Kitkat 4.4.4 before it died.
I have several problems. I am still on the stock ROM. I updated with Kies to Android 5.0. I then rooted the phone. I have not flashed a custom ROM yet. I have tried to remove system apps with my old favorite root app removers and they simply don't work. They say successful but the apps come right back. I have backed up my phone with the standard recovery apps, TWRP, Philz touch and ROM Manager. I carefully chose backup to the SD card but all of them also save the backup to the phone memory also. Those backups eat the phone memory and I cannot remove them. Removal fails. Files are write protected. I was able to remove the backups by using the factory reset. That is a real pain. I'm now afraid to use any recovery now. With only 16 GB of memory, I choose to use the SD card. Is Android 5.0 causing these problems? Am I stuck with the stock Android 5.0? Kies warned me that I can't go backwards. I had none of these problems with the Samsung S3 and S4 with custom ROMs. I might add that I used a no bloat program with the S5 and Android 5.0. It bricked my phone. It was quite difficult to get it working again with the stock Android ROM. I wish I not bought the S5 or updated to Android 5.0.

You stated you have a G900F so you need to post in the international threads this is for G900A devices
