You must unmount the SD-Card in the Settings - then Download you want in the Market and if the download finished and installed mount the SD-Card again

In this case where's did the app install on the phone memory ?
It won't go to the SD if I unmount it so where's the app going ?
I don't understand where's the app going with this unmount thing, please explain.

A workaround not a complete fix but... When you get that problem again go to your download folder using any explorer application, like ES FILE EXPLORER, order the list by date added and you will find your appin the 1st position. Just install it- from there-. This fix work for the 100% downloaded application case but not installed
i think when you unmount the sd and install the apk it goes to the data.img in android folder, because this is acting as internal memory on android build... correct me if im wrong... but it works for me all the time and the aps are on sd...

You'll probably do more CABS, so I suggest creating a CAB folder on the root of your SD card... Easier to keep track, then.

It's a winner, I keep a copy of my cabs on my laptop and another on my SD card for easy of use when flashing from ROM to ROM.

You don't unzip it. You run the .cab file as it is.
ok i am confused lol when i downloaded it from this forum it is in a zip file and actually doesnt have a.cab file in the zip file

Can you not add it in the options, by shaking the phone while in the office app?
this doesn't appear to work. I have the HTC HD2. I open the office app and when I shake it nothing happens. Should it?

Thank you I have now managed to add them to the list, ticked them, did a soft reset but they are still not rotating. Its just not my night lol
My question is.. what happens when an app is installed..
(i.e.) what all files are placed where and with what permission??
It would be nice if someone gives me a small mechanism..
Thanks in advance.

The files needed to run the app go into the internal memory of the phone.. On eclair devices it all goes in internal i.e the phone memory but in froyo you have the option to move it to the sd card..a part of it still remain in the phone memory though..
And regarding the permissions, they are showed in market when you are about to install the app...

nice.. but what i asked was.. for example
.apk goes to /system/app
classes.dex goes to /data/dalvik-cache
and the database,cache,libraries and preferences files go to /data/com.example.apk/
is that all or any other modifications need to be made..
i want the app shown in the app drawer..
also what are the permissions for each file..

just learning a few things..
Hello this is a guide to "move" you apps to your SD card for users with small Internal Storage
Update:There is now a faster way to do it.
After step 3 you just press the menu option on the top left corner and you press app analyzer.
This will show you an descending list of your apps sorted by their obb and file size.
Select the app you want to transfer it's obb from to SD (you can also choose to move its data)
Pair the data and you are done
Much faster
Much easier.
This GUIDE is for ROOTED PHONES ONLY it wont work with unrooted phones so please if you want to procced you MUST have a rooted phone
This method uses an app called Folder Mount (Free from Play Store) that allows the use to move large app files to external storage saving up internal space.
Instructions:
1) Download the App from Play Store called Folder Mount
App Link :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount
2) Once its installed open the app
3)Once the app is open it will ask you for root access press "GRANT"
!!! ATTENTION AS MENTIONED BEFORE THE APP WORKS ONLY ON ROOTED PHONES!!!
4)To use the app just press the "+" (cross) on the Top Right corner this will get you to Folder Pair Settings
5)In the "Name" slot you can name the Setting depending on what you want.
5.1) Example if you want to transfer the files from Dead Trigger https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.madfingergames.deadtrigger you can name it "Dead Trigger"
6) When you name the setting you press on "Source" this will get you to a file manager like screen where you choose the source of your file (MOST devices default source will be Android/obb/"game"
6.1)For Example the path for Dead Trigger on my phone (XPERIA SP) is (as shown in the Folder Mount App) /storage/sdcard0/Android/obb/com.madfingergames.deadtrigger
6.2) ATTENTION you must NOT sellect the WHOLE directory because that wont give you any editing or mounting options at all
6.3)ATTENTION when you are selecting the game file folder you must go into the folder (tap on the folder for example in this case com.madfingergames.deadtrigger) that will get you to the games directory so you are not choosing the whole game directory thus causing a big mess
7)When you sellect the games directory press the "check" button on the top right corner
8)After you press the cross a mesage will come up saying if you want the app to create a default destination folder
8.1) Press Yes and the app will create a default directory on your external SD (mine is /storage/sdcard1/Android/obb/com.madfingergames.deadtrigger)
8.2)Press No and choose your custom directory on your SD to save the folder in and then to apply the changes pless the "check" button
9)Afer you set up your destination folder just press the"check" button on the top right corner to finish
9.1) I would not suggest checking the " Exclude from media scan" box
10)After you pressed the "check" button it may show up a message telling you that your source directory is not empty (you already know that or why would you bother moving an empty folder) and by procceding it may overwrite some files.
Just press "Yes" on this.
11) Now it will go to the home screen and a message on the notification bar will tell you that files are being moved.
11.1)DO NOT START THE GAME TO CHECK the work is not done yet
12)Near the name you gave on step 5 you will see a thumbpin.
When the thumbpin is Green it means that the directory is mounted on your SD saving up Internal Storage Space
You can mount or unmount all your directories by pressing the thumbpin icon on the bottom right and bottom left corner (left -> mounts right -> unmounts)
13)after you mounted your game's directory test it out it should work
!!!!Here is a demo video to help you get started!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJLJZs7oqPE
Method Pros
1)Easy to use
2)Very fast transfering the files
3)Flexible (you can mount and unmount depending on wht you need)
4)Saves up a lot of time
Method Cons
1) The Free Version Supports only up to 3 pairs
Overall a great app for rooted phones
If you have any questions post them bellow
Thank you.
Nice, thankyou very much for your tutorial, was looking around for this one. By the way, when i mounted it, i checked to see if it played, it worked. But when i went on root explorer, how come the com.(what ever game) is still there in the Android/Obb folder? Doesn't it move since it moved to another location?
And also another quick question, if the game(any game) updates, does it update to the mounted folder?
Or do i start the whole process again with FolderMount?
Thank you Very Much

When you mount a directory Folder Mount keeps the old folder in the Android/obb/"folder" so when you delete the Pair it can transfer the game files to their original directory.
It is pretty much normal!
Also i forgot to add thanks for your kind words

SD
Jackaros,
this might sound like a Silly question,
but am I correct in assuming that the App would move Files from the Internal 8GB rom to an Actual Micro SD card?
8gb internal memory is the only thing putting me off buying this phone,
regards
Yes,tho the free version will only allow 3 apps,the pro version us available via in app purchase..it is not much think about 86p maybe 1euro

NO ma man you can find the Bluetooth app in this location /system/app
then replace it

there is apparently no app in the system/app folder for bluetooth, which i'm guessing is the problem

The system/app contains the bluetooth app, take a look
And if you are running 4.4.2 I can upload the apps for you

yeah I meant that the bluetooth app is not in there at all. don't know why i accidentally said folder
not sure if i'm running 4.2.2 or what, how do i tell? gs4 that i've been using a custom rom called mint jelly ever since it came out back in June of last year, and have not made any further updates due to them not being necessary
You can tell by going to Settings > More > About Device > then you will find android version

do i download on computer? and then after I extract I take the APK and push it through? I can lookup this process but just wondering if this is the route i'm supposed to be going next
Download "ES File Explorer" then click on option button
Then scroll down and turn on Root Explorer
Then click on root explorer and choose Mount Option and change the /system to rw
Then download the apps & extract them
You can extract them on pc, then copy the apps to SD Card
From SD Card copy them to System/app

really thankful for your help
i did get those exact files into my sys/app folder
restarted the device and bluetooth still wont work...really frustrating. hard to believe the only way to fix this might be to get a completely different custom ROM and resetup my entire device, which will take hours and i'm sure it's just a matter of time before I have some other problem.
Any suggestions welcome
Sorry I forgot the most important thing
Keep pressing on any app in the /System/app
And click properties
And look to the permission of the app
then keep pressing on the Bluetooth app and click properties and click change the permission of the bluetooth app to Permissions like the previous app
Reboot
Install games with big obb files directly to External SD through Play Store
1.)Download and install the Xposed Installer and install the Xposed Framework. (http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer)
2.)After the installation and reboot, open Xposed Installer
2.)Select 'Download'
3.)Download the module XInternalSD by pyler.
4.)Enable the module in Xposed's module page
5.)Now open XInternalSD
6.)Select 'Path to insternal SD card'
7.)Enter '/storage/sdcard1/ without the quotes
8.)Close it
9.) Download NextApp SDFix from the Play Store and follow the instructions to apply the patch.
10.)Once it's done, reboot
11.)After the reboot, obb files will automatically be downloaded to the External SD and apps will save all their data in the External card, thereby saving internal storage

Not worked bro.I have done successfully upto 8 steps.When i install the app' NextApp SDFix' it says ''No Action Required as I have write access to SD card''.Then after the reboot the games doesn't download directly to my sd card they are downloading in my Internal Storage only(I have tried Dead Trigger2 and some other games)..I have attached the picture below.i have rooted my phone.Please Help Required Urgently...
Edit: Another thing is the app( NextApp SDFix ) doesn't take the root access i mean that the prompting of the root access doesn't appear on my screen.
