I want to know is there any way of moving the Internet app to SD Card, i know there is option by creating second partition on SD Card, but is there any other way, the app itself is taking 200mb...
There is same app on Google play so i though i can just uninstall it using titanium backup, and then install from play store, then i will be able to move it to sd card? I know i sound dumb but i need your opinion is there any other option before proceeding?

Settings > application > open the app and make sure the second block on the right says "move to phone"... if it says that, then you then application is on the SD card. Or you can check the market for one of many free applications
Ok tried that doesn't let me save to sd card, now is that the only way or is there an app for that?

Ok got that I understand but I want to know if there is a way to move the apps that are not highlighted. The ones you can't move is there a app for that.
all apps cannot be moved to the sd card. if you used the method that was explained to you before and its grayed out, but not on the sd card, then chances are it cant be moved! an app has to have that option built into it in order to be moved to the sd card. you can contact the developer and see if the have plans to or to request that option!
Try appmonster it backups your apps if that's what you're asking

The themes should automatically be stored to the SDcard. Are you talking about the "theme setup"?
Yeah their not going to my sdcard okay I will tell you what I'm trying to do. I wanted to get one theme to put on my computer then use that theme to customize it to the way I like it. Would be easier than trying to figure out how to make one. Or if there is other way I'm all ears.
If it won't move to SD card, since you are rooted you can find it on your phone and COPY the folder/file to another place on the SD card, then connect to computer and drag and drop the copied file.

Thread should be in Q&A section. Moved.
So from what I understand, apps cannot be installed to the storage card on the S4, correct? Is this fixable with root or maybe a custom ROM? Also, when recording video, will the S4 at least be able to write to the storage card when doing that? And for something like Orange Backup that can create nandroids while in Android, does anyone know if it will be able to write to the storage card? I assume that recoveries like TWRP and CW will have no issue recognizing the card and installing zips from them?
Yes, you can tell the camera to use the SD card. Not sure about Orange Backup, but I've got TWRP on my S4 and it gave me the option of using the SD card, which I took advantage of.
Can't answer your question about custom ROM's being able to give us the app storage transfer to SD option. That would be nice, though.

Not every app. Some give you the choice to use the SD card, some don't. And if the app does not give you the choice, it's hard to move the app/data to the SD card for most programs on this release of Android OS.
There are some threads on possible work arounds, but I've read mixed results on them so far.
Hi could anyone tell me how to save Apps to an SD card in my Z2?
You cant... its because Google decided to restrict it in 4.4

You can't, read about the restrictions of KitKat. and if you have root you can use an app to do that.
Seriously? Can't believe I just found out... what is the point of this restriction? is andriod trying to copy Apple with their restricted iphone storage?

I don't think Google likes SD cards, and they try to promote their Google Drive. None of the Nexuses have SD card slots.

What about applications though, you can exactly move them to cloud to free up space. The Z2 only has 16gb and with apps getting bigger and bigger that's really going to be a big limitation.

So your apps use 12GB storage? That is how much free space you have. For backup apps you can just move the backup folder to SD card. You can have Nandroid backup on SD card aswell.
Also music and films go to SD card. There are exploits for Spotify to move the folder to the SD card.

What about photos? But true, unless I am going to get massive games like GTA I should be fine I guess.

You should be able to save photos/videos to SD card still (there's an option in the camera app).
There is an option to transfer data like videos, photo's & music in "storage" , which I know does not solve the problem but is good news for Z2 developers because this shows that it's possble to do it & create roms with that purpose in mind...
There's no problem on galaxy devices coz their native folder manager "My files" bypasses this restriction.
I hope Sony creates their own native manager to fix that!

Could someone test following: connect device with usb debugging, start cmd and try adb shell pm set-install-location 2. Only do it if you know adb.

Hi guys! Do have any roms in mind that can transfer apps to sd card? I just bought my Z2 and i also have a 128gb sd card. Im having 2nd thoughts installing custom rom but if the stock rom cant allow me to install apps to sd, i will have no choice but to install that rom. Thank you!

Try a Xposed module named XInternalSD
Try foldermount. On my Z2 it works but I have the premium version. I am not sure if it also works with the free version.

Free version should work also, I believe difference is in number of pairs allowed.
Thanks for the reply guys! I tried folder mount and it indeed worked for me. But i have another concern, i dont know if its just my phone or others are also having this issue. Do you have problem installing some apps? It says No space available but i still have 9gb available in my internal card. Hope u can suggest what i can do to install any app i want. Thank you!

Let's go out on a limb here but have you tried folder mount?
Still can't do it with new update?
So let me get this straight, even with the new update(4.4.4), you still can't move apps to sdcard on the Z2???
I'm unrooted/stock, just got the device, but I'm shocked to know this, I should've looked more into it before making the purchase. I have link2sd, and I noticed it just takes me to the app in app info(which I could do by myself through settings), and I still don't have an option to move apps to sd card.
Am I missing something? I have to root to move apps to sdcard with the z2 on the latest stock rom and firmware??
I didn't want to start a new thread and saw this one, among others.
I'm trying to move anomaly 2 to my sd card, but it doesn't work. When I go to the application manager I have the option to move it to my sd card, but when I try it takes forever and then at the end it says unable to move app. I have moved many apps this way, but this one wont move. The only difference I can think of is the size of the app, anomaly 2 is 1.8gb which is the biggest game I have. I am using kitkat 4.4.2, and I am also rooted (this problem happened before I rooted though.)

You cannot move data app to sd-card
it s just for .apk
it means system install it on sd-card but Data will remains in internal memory
But do u use built-in app manager or another app?

I don't mind if I cant move the data, I just want to move the huge app from my internal storage to my sd card. I used the built-in app manager.

IF "move to sd-card" option is available in built-in app manager but u cannot move it.
that can be bug in that app. ask other user of app or its developer

Thanks, I didn't know it was up to the developer. I emailed the developer and unfortunately, I can't move it. Is there anyway to move it since my phone is rooted?

do say thanks hit it
cause it s on app the answer is NO.
if that was because of android system can use something like mount stick to mount sd-card with internal
(that is available on galaxy devices by default)

That sucks. Thanks anyway though.
Is it possible to fully install apps on my SD card instead of the phone itself?
As the games I'm wanting to play are around 1.5-2gb Each and I can only have like 2 installed at a time.
When I move to SD card it only moves around 50mb of the game over and keeps most of it on the phone
Is it not possible to play games that are fully on the SD card?
Yes but you need root access and ROM Toolbox

I use an app called FolderMount that can move over large folders to the external SD card and then map it as if it were still there. I use it for games mostly. Some games take up a TON of space. You need to have root first.
