Hi
I want to install apps to SD card. Unfortunately the new update that allows moving apps to sd card has not been released for THR region yet.
I tried adb method :
adb devices
adb shell pm set-install-location 2
when I check the install location with " adb shell pm get-install-location " it shows 2->external storage
BUT, when I install the apps, they are still installed on Internal Storage rather than sd card.
any Help???

If u want u can try installing the latest version using Odin use sammobile for downloading file
or if are rooted use folder mount app from play store
and ya new update allows you to install app to Sd card but the app data remains in the internal storage only

When i connect my phone to the PC (OS:win7) i doesn't show me the sd card drive,only phone one and i cant install any apps from there.Any help?
Well, you are mistaken. It is showing you the sdcard. I'm sure that you can't mount the phone's filesystem on the computer anyway.
And what do you mean you can't install any apps from there? Grab the apk you want to install, dump it on the SD card, and install it with an App Installer (found on the market) or with a decent file explorer (like 'Root Explorer' or 'AndExplorer').
Well i have redden that to install an app not from market you have to paste it on the sd card via usb cable but i think the sd card folder its not showing to me.When i connect the cable i cant even access the card from the phone.Can you tell me where i can find it?And sorry for bad English.
EDIT:I have fixed the problem.
Mind telling us how you solved the problem? o;
Hi all
Is it possible to install apps that you have put the .APK onto your SD card, onto the device? I am trying to install a program and it is trying to install on my SD and I want it to install onto the main device.
Any tips please?

After installing the program, you can go to settings>applications>manage applications
From here, search for the installed program, select it and move it to internal memory
Hope it helpss

If you just want to move it to internal storage, then do that^. If you want to make it a system app, then place the .apk in /system/app using a root explorer, fix permissions in CWM and reboot.
Thank you so much for your help. I downloaded 'Apps 2 sd free', and it did the job.
I have some apps I want to transfer from PC to my Nexus 4. They come with files/folders that need to reside on an 'SD Card' however clearly the nexus 4 does not have one.
I.E. they say "Extract the zip to SD Card/Android/data"
Where do I place them? Do I need to make a virtual SD card of some sort, or do they go directly into Nexus4->Internal Storage->Android->Data (as viewed from Windows when connecting via USB)
If so, that leads me to my 2nd question. Why does it not work? apps say they need to download data, even though its there in the \Android\Data folder
When you say apps do you just mean the APK files? If so, just copy them onto the 'SD Card' as you see it on your PC and then install them via a file manager on your phone. Or use ADB to install them manually
e.g.
adb install name_of_app.apk
I think it's suppose to be in Android/Obb/(your downloaded files).

I'm new to Android so bare with me. I realise I can place the .apk anywhere (I can can't I?) and run it on the Nexus itself to install the app. What I mean is some apps will store data on an SD card. I have the data on my PC. I want to transfer it to the Android device so it doesn't have to download it again, or simply fail because it doesn't recognise the data is there.
So lets assume 'MyApp' needs to access 'MyFile.x' which would normally reside on 'SDCard\Com.MyApp.001\MyFile.x'
What is the equivelent with the Nexus4 so that I can paste 'MyFile.x' and have 'MyApp' read it?
When you plug you're phone in
Go to my computer > nexus 4 > internal storage
That is /sdcard
Obb files go in /mnt/shell/emulated/obb/
Note: /mnt/shell/emulated/ is the only way to access the true root of your sdcard
This is also where your cwm backups are stored
The folder 0 is default android user sdcard and is where /sdcard is mounted to
For your example.
Start > my computer > nexus 4 > internal storage
Make a new folder called Com.MyApp.001
Open folder
Paste MyFile.x
That will put the file at /sdcard/Com.MyApp.001/MyFile.x

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.

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.

Apps can have permission to internal storage but I believe sd permissions changed again in oreo and apps can't really access it but you can still link sd folder to bittorrent folder with app2sd
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd
In folder mount set source to bittorrent folder and destination to sd folder
try disabling "fsync" in miscellaneous section of kernel auditor it worked for me ?
