I don't think we can install apps on the SD card yet ):

The OS is unix based, you can create symbolic links in the internal memory to point to the External SD card. These links tell the OS to look in the location you specified whenever something requests that folder, pretty much seamless.
There are other tools that have been developed which automate some of this for you, if you are not comfortable typing in a terminal window.

There is already a thread about this, conclusion is that mattiad is not going to be doing an internal2external mod, been using his mod for years and I asked him, told me that without the device in his hands (probably donated as he isn't going to be buying it) it isn't going to be happening, mount points and code are different from the s3 apparently.
I've personally been using folder mount, it's a paid app but allows you to mount the larger games and apps found in android/obb or anywhere from one location to another.
Upped my memory to 5GB from 2GB, I've got about 4 large games and around 100 apps installed so it does work.

Thank you for the hint. I hope, that after upgrading to 14.2.A.0.290 root will not be remove and rooting will not be so difficult.

Root will happen and there will always be a way around things, the problem Z1 users are facing is a lack of dev's to accomplish these things. Just compare the note 3 forum with this one, huge difference.
The camera bug has obviously played a part in this but it's causing irreparable damage to the Z1 community and has probably put off some dev's we could sorely do with.
Hopefully it'll change withe new releases but as time goes on i'm losing faith to be honest.

Build dates affected by the internal sd card issue on Bell i9000M?

Hi all...
Im sure this has been covered somewhere b4 but I cannot find the info.
Does anyone know what build dates of the Bell i9000M are effected by the bad internal sd cards?
Ive been into the coded menu titled "internal version" and my build date seems to be Aug. 10th 2010 or something like that.
I have not yet had any bad experience but i also have never flashed unofficial firmwares or applied lagfix of anykind soim wondering if my phone is safe from this issue or just not been used / stressed enough to have issues.
If anyone knows this please advise.
@allgamer... You seem pretty up to speed on this. Do you know?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
It has been shown in the stickied i9000m poll thread in the general section that the issue is completly random. Some have build dates from late sept, while others go all the way back to late july and everywhere in between....

i agree with Electroz
from my point of view it all comes down to usage (regular wear & tear) of the flash disks
i'm a very heavy user myself, i test every App i come across with and i keep installing/uninstalling stuff a lot yet i don't see the internal SD card issues people have posted about
on a recent fresh topic, a normal guy did not even Root the phone
had quite obviously a perfect case of dying internal SD
he was getting errors reading from the internal SD from the regular apps like gallery / astro / etc

Ya... I saw that topic as well so I am assuming that he is unfortuantely the perfect example of a Bell i9000M with an internal sd card issue.
I have never had any issues of anykind either (I dont use my phone as heavily as you though allgamer) and I hope I never have an issue but if I do I guess atleast I have the 1 year Manufacturers Warranty as well as the $7.00 per month extended Warranty that I pay for to have my phone fixed or replaced.
Im glad I diddnt cancel that option when I upgraded from my Omnia i910 to my SGS!!!
Thanks for the clarification gentlemen!!! Much appreciated!!!
speaking of an i8910 i have one of those and a regulary i9000 non M version sitting around if anyone is interested in one.
@lgkhan...
Tell me more about the i9000 u have. How much for it? Unlocked etc???

maybe i should try SOC?
am also considering getting a xtc clip but it's pricey and i'm just hoping someone has come up with a method to root this phone
really want to get this phone s-off and rooted
need to move so many apps for my gf from phone to SD
sigh....
Same wish here... no sense having an android smartphone where you can only install a few apps. My GF bought this as replacement for an x10mini pro..
Salsa is a very cool little smartphone but... 123mb of free internal storage seems a joke. Install maps + street view, skype(on SD), vtok (because it has not the latest gtalk and can't make videocalls) and you are done.
I would definitely donate for some development.
to be fair i got rid of my desire as i got bored with after rooting and then s-off, i spent time on getting the most out of the phone but then felt what else can i possibly do to this phone, I moved to blackberry bad move then got the mini x10 pro too and felt the phone was a bit of a joke and only got the salsa cause it seemed pretty similar to other phone and has a dedicated button that can hopefully be remapped, The internal memory is pants but it does let you move apps to sd card which saves graze

it does allow movement of apps but not everything
and that's annoying me so much
i hope some developer of the alpharev team come up with something at least
dont really need custom roms on this and just the basic s-off and root
I keep getting low memory remove app. This sucks. This really could have been a really nice phone. As is its either going back or second string till rooted.

have you guys try alpharev to s-off salsa ? http://alpharev.nl/x/beta/
it is quite a hopeless phone, at least the cheaper phones can install their apps to SD cards. Android is sucks . I think I can explore something new, but salsa make me think that I wasted my money on the DUMP PHONE: SALSA
Please have some methods about it. I'm getting crazje!

that depends on the type of andro apps installed some of them can be moved to sd card but not all (go to application settings or run wizard to dump cache/move apps to sdcard)... if only they put 1GB memory it would be perfect
s-off coming soon to htc sensation perhaps next build will support salsa
NOTE:
you may also force unmovable apps to SD card thru ADB, applicable only apps resides on nonROM apps
I was just wondering if anyone has heard any more about a means by which this phone can be rooted. Really, it's pretty much worthless as a smart phone until it can be rooted. You install 4 apps and you're out of memory, meaning email apps stop working properly, the phone runs slowly and text messaging becomes problematic.
I spent good money on this phone and it does nothing really that my old one couldn't do. Make calls, send texts and use 2 or 3 apps at a time max.

[Q] Internal Storage

Hello I just start using the new Motorola Razr i, since 2007 I'm using iPhone, as many of you I'm mobile developer, so iOS 6 for me in this very moment is not very interesting, so I decided to change to Android and to motorola Razr i because I think is a good terminal with good materials.
Well what is my surprise when after 2 weeks I discover that Motorola Change the Path name of the internal storage to "sdcard" and the SD card to "external1" it would't be a problem but the 99% of the apps are programmed to download the data in "mnt/sdcard" so my internal memory is full, and the sdcard almost empty.
well I don't want to change it, I'm very happy with the moto, but this is terrible, 2 weeks no memory WTF??? I try everything links to the sdcard(internal memory) using bussyBox, doing it with terminal, try to rename directories everything, and well maybe we can make it works, but again WTF??? I change to android but this kind of things are a bit disappointed as a developer and as a user.
I ask you guys what do you think about this? is normal? some people say that is a "feature" well would be if the phone would be able to store the files in external1(real sd card) but Moto how you can think that the developers are gonna adapt the apps to be use with the partition logic that you implemented ?
anyway if this continue like this, I would give up with motorola, only because I need space in my phone only because of that.
thanks for your reply solutions or comments.

SO?
So... mattlgroff are you happy with this? a mean you love this device, how you are gonna deal with this?

[Q] Is there any way to transfer apps to the SD card?

I wonder if anyone knows if there is some way to put apps en SD card. I've installed App Manager and it's say that is not possible I have spent several hours searching the internet and have not found any information about it.

Theres a guy who made a script for just this purpose and he did it on the Galaxy S3, you could ask in there, it literally swapped the SD for the internal SD. Making my S3 a 64GB version usable for apps and the extra 16GB for whatever i wanted, i personally didn't need it.
I've Used Directory Bind... Though not all apps can be transferred, (mostly huge games can be transferred)

[Q] Installing Apps in microSD card, when will this feature come?

When will we get this functionality? The S4 has this option on their app manager wherein they can transfer installed apps to their memory card without rooting their unit. I know for a fact that Sony released the Z1 months after the S4 why didn't they include this functionality on our phones considering it is "premium". I bought the this phone because I trust the brand and I have been loyal to them. I beleive not having this functionality is a big draw back given that we only have 16gb of internal memory to use for app, which is pretty low. I hope Sony can resolve this?

I agree. I come from HTC HD2 to Z1 right now and I am disappointed too. I think the solution is to flash some scripts or even a ROM Rooted.
I start searching.

When I got my phones I thought it was kinda weird with how they link their directories. The storage/emulated/0 etc etc and apparently this is the reason APP2SD is not supported.
It's easy to get around this with apps like link2sd etc.. But for non-rooted I don't know. I just wished it was there officially.
I use Note 2 rooted and I can't move apps even with app2sd apps. (10gb on Note 2 is hardly enough)

10GB has never been enough, In my honest opinion I think 32GB should be the standard for mid range and hi end phones.
Guys Get Fouler Mount it used to work for me on my Xperia S when i had it i have Z1 now and its not working but i might be just doing something wrong. Its a really good app but you need to be rooted to be able to use it.

When I bought my Note 2, they claimed I would get 16gb. When I brought it home and used it, there's only 10gb. So:
1) where's that 6gb?
2)It's not the os. (I'm using Illusion ROM which uses 200+mb while stock needs 1gb)

You are right for that part for unrooted devices.
But if you are root you have endless combination and ideas.
You can even use Xposed modules to tell your camera (stock/snap/better) to store your pict to sdcard.
As I said - I agree with that part - it would be great to have that without rooting but that's the way it is.
I always root my phones - to get adaway and remove that stupid baners from apps

On Xperia Z1 too. We are talking about app data which can be moved to the SDcard instead of internal storage of the phone.
ex: game apk on the phone, game data on sd.
I use GL to SD root App. Needs a fix though. There's a post about it some where on here.

I haven't even noticed the option was missing. Even my old Arc on Gingerbread had the App to SD card option.
