If I understand you correctly, you want move your apps to external sd card?
Yestoday I install FolderMount 2.5 on my c5503 (4.3 root deodexed bootloader locked) and it works perfectly

The first thing you need to do is to root.
You can follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427995
or if you don't want to mess with the bootloader, you can try this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590174
Then you can install FolderMount and move the big apps to the sd card...

THANK U

It seems only for C5503 now. Anyone got update yet?

Can i flash it on my C5502 without serious problems?

Damn. It's only for C5503. Is there any possibilities that it will release for C5502?

Are you sure? If I can, I could flash the C5503 ftf file to my C5502 without problems? And I could flash it using flashtool with locked bootloader, can I? And one more question, will it remove all internal memory?

I am sure about flashing C5503 rom on C5502 device because i am using it myself.
To flash custom recovery bootloader should be unlocked as far as i know but this is an official rom so i dont know. It may work without unlocking. (You dont recieve official OTA updates with unlocked bootloader thats the only harm, if you end up unlocking remember to backup TA files)
If you are on stock you can try flashing it without wiping internal memory but it is recommended to wipe it as not wiping may end up with problems like some apps not working.
Good Luck! :good:
PS- I am also a newb, you can search again and verify this information though i think it os correct.

guys, can anybody confirm that we can now move apps to SD?

Yes move to SD is available in Lollipop ROM

4.3 has been very stable for me, and I've been using it for the longest time, unwilling to update to KK even. However, now, I'm thinking of updating to 5.1.1, but I keep hearing a voice in my head saying "if it ain't broke..." It's just that the lure of moving apps to SD is strong, especially since the ZR only has around 4.5GB of usable space. I'm also unwilling to lose my progress in some of my games, so I'd like to update but I don't want to wipe/reset to factory default. Which means the update might make my phone unstable and laggy. I'm just so torn about this.

A carefully planned upgrade with app data backup should be hassle free.

I've now updated to 5.1.1 (without wiping my data) and everything went through without a hitch! I'm liking it so far . Sadly, it looks like this is the last update for my beloved ZR, as it probably won't get Marshmallow anymore.

It might be best to re-install your firmware. Also why did you linked system apps?
Your explanation is bit difficult to understand, could you maybe give a more detailed explanation or would you want step by step guide to help you with rooting and configurating apps2sd? You seem to be having lot of problems with getting apps2sd working as wanted.

To get past honor logo you need to re-install whole firmware, because most likely system partition has something that prevents boot or boot partition has problem.
I'm using marsmallow and Apps2SD works normally for me. I don't think it matters which version you are using, but getting back to kitkat might be difficult.

I've read from somewhere that it isn't as easy as it looks like(though I haven't tested it myself). I think it's because there are partitions which you can't flash in fastboot and the "updateflasher.zip" thread says that method only works on android LP and MM.
I can guide you with apps2sd, but if you root with magisk I can't help if problem is somehow related to it since I have never used it.

Well I prefer this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994 chapter 8 is rootin.
Actually needed steps are:
1. Flash 1.zip
2. Flash SuperSu.zip can be found from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703
3. Make sure it says "installing mode system-less" or something similiar.
4. Reboot your phone. It will boot loop once or twice and then works normally.
Then I can help you with apps2sd if you still want.

He was having unstable internet connection previously while he requested my help.

@Kireto00
redownload the zip file from the link i provided now and repeat the process ie.., unpacking and repacking the two zip files and give a try.
I strongly believe that either the zip downloaded is corrupt or while rezipping the file you might have faced the error.

This might be stupid question but did you move them like going into App info -> move to SD or have you partitioned your SD-card to ext4 and FAT32 partitions and moved apps to ext4 partition. Or did you do it some other way?

Yeah that is the native way. I think it doesn't move whole app only some parts(very small parts). If you want to move whole app to SD-card you'll need rooted device and SD-card with 2 partitions (ext4 and FAT32).

sometime back i unblocked bootloader and changed Rom then faced so many issues with 4G network so i rolled back it, now bootloader is blocked. if is there any other way to move whole app using third party app? then let me know.

You must be rooted to move whole apps to SD-card. Btw which rom you changed to?
Also if you just think what you are doing and have a backup, rooting shouldn't cause any problems on stock firmware.
(Well, some apps have been made so that they won't work if device is rooted)

This is weired behaviour on 4X and reported by many users. Haven't came across solutions yet
This is one of the reason i am still with KK and haven't updated my phone even once.

Nah, sorry root is only method I think. (There is also adopted storage for android 6.0, but you might still need root make it available).
Also I guess you have Qualcom snapdragon version, so I probably couldn't help anyway. (But all things should work better on snapdragon version than on kirin 620 version).

yes it's Qualcom see the attachment.

I'm assuming that you have che1-l04 variant. Upgrade to marshmallow or rooting your phone only will do the job. I was also frustrated with low storage so I switched to custom roms and now using SD as internal storage, marshmallow's adoptable storage was good but still I wasn't able to install more than 45-50 apps(system apps aren't included).

you are right i'm using che1-L04 with marshmallow. i can root it but don't wanna switch the rom

Thats sad brother. but seeing the post was started in June. We may have few roms which support 4G now. atleast MM based ROMs should have this for sure.

I understand there must be more ROMs but i don't wanna take risk again. As you know it takes too much time to manage new Rom and it's not possible there will be no bugs after installing MM based rom.
