how to install apps / move apps to sd card on xperia z3 instead of using internal memory ?
thank you ! :fingers-crossed:
Root it, install SD card write fix and enjoy.
This is because of kitkat, in this version of android, everything is blocked to write on SD card except first party apps (that comes pre-installed on phone).
Any other app WILL NOT be able to write on SD without root and this fix.

Use the app Link2SD from play store. Requires root. And also a 2nd partition on your SD card to store apps.
There are many tools which can help you partition your SD card but to on the safe side, backup your SD card data beforehand.
Just go through the description of Link2SD on the play store. It should make things easier
But if i dont want to root the xperia?

The easiest way to partition an sd card is via clockworkmod. Advanced/partition sdcard. And choose what sixze of partition you want. This formats the sd though so backup first.

If you want to move apps without rooting, check out this post. It should help

But there are some limitations when you don't root. But if you root, you can also get rid of unimportant system apps & bloatware!
Plus rooting is very simple these days thanks to one click rooting apps & brilliant devs!
Choice is yours

Use App2SD
Use AppMgr III previously known as App2SD, search Google Play for it. Pretty cool app.
Other option is, partition your SD Card and install app there using Link2SD as App2SD won't move all the apps and their data to memory card. However, formatting SD Card and using Link2SD to install all apps to the newly-partitioned SD card is a different story altogether.

So, we need to root first?
dont work
Re
nop nop work "AppMgr III (not pro)"
I'm going to try of partition as you say the "SD Card". Then, it can be simple with an app as "gl to sd" ... to mount partition/s of the inserted sd.
But before, since is the well-read one of @kakolin (in.htcmania) I will try with "Directory Bind" (com.vanpit.android.directorybind id in store). Probably it isn't necessary to make partition.

I have just installed Alien Rom V5 on my ST26. The app looks great and is very fast.
Can anyone tell me if I can link apps to an ext4 partition on my SD card using Link2SD?
I have tried doing this, but apps keep closing.

as i know in this AlienRom, the SD card (external) is swapped into internal SD card so you dont have to link coz all install apps go to external which is now read by the system as internal.....(correct me if im wrong )

I'm aware of the external SD / internal SD swap, but I think apps are still being installed to the internal memory (not the internal SD).
Before switching to AlienRom I was using gavster's AVD Rom and Link2SD installed every app to the ext4 partition on my external SD.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to prevent apps installing to the phone memory? I have a number of phone only apps which have filled the phone memory and are preventing some app updates and the installation of larger new apps.
Link2SD with an ext4 partition worked so well on the AVD Dark Moon Rom.

why don't you just edit vold.fstab :silly:
I thought vold.fstab only switches between external SD and internal SD. The Rom already does this.
Can vold.fstab be edited to prevent apps saving to the phone memory?

Sony Xperia ST26i only have 750mb Phone Memory
and all installed application always in phone memory
even after move some of the data to internal storage it's just not enough
is there anyway to increase it ?
You can use sdcard as internal storage. Check tutorials in forum about howto or flash a rom with sdcard as internal.

Use FolderMount, it works really well.
if your phone is rooted just make a fresh restore or re-flash your phone and first thing you do after that is to uninstall the system apps that you dont use.. just be careful with the apps that must not be uninstalled
Hey all,
Does the Z3 support installing every app fully to the SD card? I ask because 16gb seems a bit limiting if you can't fully use the SD card.
I just came here to ask the same question. In Kitkat 4.4.4 (and maybe other versions?) the 'Move to SD' is disabled/not there and it is up to the phone manufacturer to enable/add it. There is no option in settings on the Z3 to move app data to your SD card. It is very easy to enable apps to be able to use the SD card, either manually or using an app such as SDFix (but you will need to be rooted).
Here are some questions I would like answered if anyone knows:
There are folders on the SD card for most apps in /Android/data/ for example, 'com.microsoft.skydrive'. That same folder is also in the same place (/Android/data/) on the phones memory and contains data for the app. Can that just be moved with a file explorer to the SD card? If so are there any other steps to take?
Is there an app to automate moving data or a way to add the button in settings, apps?
Cheers
Wait till 5 ! It's was disabled is kk
You can use FolderMount to transfer game data to external storage (sdcard)
I use it and it is really essential to me
installed 4 big games
