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.

hey if you have not rooted yet check this out

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.

Everything paid for will be available for re-download, but you will lose all your game progress.

Correct. I would use Titanium Backup or something of the like before-hand.

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

Another "Moving Apps to SD Card" Thread

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?

Stock rom rooted at the moment is the best way.

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.

I think thats .odex file that is creating problem.... as ur fon is rooted just go to root explorer and search for .odex file related to folder mount and delete it...then try installing folder mount again....hope this helps....

Apps to SD card without root?

Is it possible?
Really struggling with space on my Z1 right now.

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

Moving apps to SD

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.
On the other hand it works great on my Xperia L rooted, running on 4.2

With FolderMount it works on rootet Z1 with 4.4.2.
I can confirm that, the only way at the moment is Folder Mount.
Thanks guys but not sure how it works. Could you gimme any tips?

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