install apps in storage card

ei guys how can i install apps in my sd card coz xda mini has small built in memory...
my phone went hang freezes when loaded of installed apps..
specially the .exe installer the phone doesnt ask if i install it to sd memory or phone memory its direct installed in my system memory
pls...help
thanks

when you install via activesync, it will ask you if you want to install to default directory.. click NO and it will let you choose "Storage Card"

wow! thanks for the help i found it so easy....
thanks

ei i install flashdash onto my sd card but the system memory decrease...why?

Sometimes the app allocates some files to the main memory so that it can be standby even when the PPC is turned off.Some time just a lot of log or temp files.
BTW:If you install CAB files,use CabInstaller to specify the location to Card.

how to innstall programs?

I have look through every site here, but cant seem to find the solution to this? I have a couple of .cab files on my computer, and I'm not sure where to put them into my HD2. Which map/fil directory should I transfer these files to ?

copy them to the storage card, and click on them on your phone.
During installation you will get the questions to install in phone or memory card. In most cases choose memorycard.

Nice, so I dont make any new folders, just load them into the card?

Thanks, I got it now!!
Thank you for reply!

hi mate where all a beginner some day, yep ur solution is copy to phone storage, and then install by selecting the .cab on ur phone it will ask you where u want to install to

i see all these posts saying you can dl stuff from internet and put onto the phone?

Hi, Sorry to bother everyone.....but i am new to this and i just got this htc hd2 phone and i been TRYING to read up on stuff but not really understanding much....*i know most of yall are prob laughing right now* but i was just wondering how do you dl apps from the comp and put it into your phone? do you just put it in the sd card under a certain folder? or do i dl it from my phone? Thanks for everyones time!

Hello friend, I understand what it's like coming into a tech heavy phone like the HD2 and then trying to comprehend stuff on this site. It get easier over time, just keep reading.
Anyway in answer to your question downloading apps is easy. For your computer you just have to find the apps you want, whether it be here or other sites. Select the app you want and download it. The majority of winmo apps are .cab files. If you download a .zip then extract the .cab from inside it.
Copy the .cab file to your sdcard or phone memory whichever you prefer, then using file explorer just navigate to the app, select it and install. Most apps ask if you want to install to phone memory or sdcard, whichever you prefer. All done!
For downloading on your phone it's the same concept, find the app, download it to your sdcard or internal memory and then use file explorer to install.
Good luck

thanks alot chris! I will defiantly try this out........one more quick question if you dont mind....is that when i put the .cab file onto my sd card or phone does it need to be in a certain folder?........thanks again!

just place it anywhere on your sd card mate and navigate to it using file explorer, i have a folder on my sd card called general crap, and anything i want to install goes in there so i no where i left it

[Q] Files on SD card

I don't have internet on my phone so the only way to install apps is to download them from my computer and transfer it to my phone.
Does it matter if you delete these .apk files from a SD after using them?

No, after you install the apks, you can delete them if you wish.

thanks or all informations

its better to keep the file backup in your computer incase you need to install again you dont need to download again.

Large games on sd card

Hello,
I was searching for a way to put large games like (asphalt 8, nova3, and any other games) on sd card on my rooted samsung galaxy s4 because the internal storage is very low and about to be full.
First i tried to use the file manager i have sent the odd file and the apk(which in the data folder) but the game didn't work, it was searching for required files and asked to download them.
Then i tried many apps which need root acces on my device to send the games on sd card but i got the same problem...
Is there are any way to send the game on sd card and make it work there?
Thanks.

try app2sd...it is on play store ?

I have already tried it but it send the apk file only i want app or any way to send the apk and the odd to the sd card and make it work there.

This depends on what rom you're using.
You could try Folder Mount

Actually all these apps aren't useful i can already use any file manager to send the game files to the sd card but the problem is when i add the game to sd card when i open the game it dont find the game's files.
And about which rom am i using i didn't get it and how to know my rom?

I use the xposed module Obb2SD, so all my games are moved to SD card then the Obb files are also moved onto the SD card.
I am using a custom Rom.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you are using the stock samsung rom then you just have to go to Manage apps and find the game you want to move and the press "Move to sd card".
Moving the apps manually will not work.
Folder Mount will move the app data to the sd card and trick the system into thinking it's on the internal storage.

I have just used folder mount by sending the game files (the folder in the data and its folder in the odd) but the game won't find their files

Did you get the phone new? Did you flash any custom rom on it or is it the stock samsung firmware that comes with the phone?

The only thing i have done with my phoned is rooting it with a custom recovery, there is no any custom roms im just using just the stock rom.

Then the rom should have the option to move apps to sd.
I know that my stock 4.4.2 samsung firmware had that option.
Go to settings > apps > downloaded, and tap any app you want to move. There should be an option "move to sd card" or something like that.
