Hello,
I would like to root my Sony Ericsson Experia SK17i because the internal storage is way too small and I would like to move most of the installed apps on my larger SDHC card. Before I do that I would like to know a few things.
If I root this phone then move all the apps to the SDHC card, will the apps stay there and be accessible if I unroot the system?
Also if I root this phone, will the system unroot on the next firmware update by Sony?

Quote from sonys unlockbootloader website:
You should be aware that unlocking the boot loader will not give you root access. The only way to get root access is to flash a custom ROM with root access.

Which means you will have to reinstall you apps.

You can install Link2Sd to solve this problem without the need to root your device

I just bought a Sony Xperia M and a 32GB sdcard to install apps and games on it, but figured it is not as simple as it sounds.
I would like to run games from my SD card, if possible without rooting as my phone is brand new and would not like to mess something up.
Nevermind, I have just rooted my device using this guide.
However, how do I enable App2SD and fix the restart bug?
hello
I m using sony xperia m dual full rooted. my problem is with oxford advanced learner's dictionary data. this dictionary contain 1 gb sd data. as u all know this much data not possible in xperia m. so I used gl2sd for moving data into sd card. but gl2sd, folder mount showing 0 kb data for this app. actually this app contains a folder oxford where all data fixed.
now plz help me how to move this data into sd card
thanks
For gl2sd work you'll need root and there isn't any root method available in the 4.3 firmware other than unlocking your bootloader and losing your warranty and functionality of some Sony proprietary apps...

thanks for sharing this great question because there are apps such as OALD and kindle that need a folder full of data on the phone memory so I would be grateful if anyone come up with a good idea.
things I have tried and failed:
Directory Bind
FolderMount
Apps2SD
GL to SD
AppMgrII
I tried almost all the ways out there so please help us you are developers so there should be a way
best regards
and thank you all
Hello Everybody.
The new firmware (Android 4.3 - firmware 15.4.A.1.9) is still not able to move apps and other data to externel SDcard, isn´t it?
So I have to change the whole system on the Xperia M into antotherone which provides this function?
Which one would this be?
Thank you very much.

A bold and noble question, deserving of being in the Q&A forum and not the General forum.
Start out with Link2SD Plus as you've not define any gaming requirements in your question.
I have 73 Google Play apps installed and 1.75GB free on internal storage.
The paid 'plus' version of Link2SD allows app data to be moved to an external partition on the SDcard. Also if using an external partition don't skimp on using a quality SDcard with at least 40MBytes read access.
Link2SD won't help installing the likes of games like Modern Combat 4 and etc in which case you need another solution.
Update - Oh, the above assumes you have root access on your phone. [emoji6]

My girlfriend bought this handy with an 32gb external SDcard.
With her old handy Sony-Ericsson Live (Android 2.3) she was able to move apps etc. on the external SDcard and never had problems with space.
She would like to have this function on her Xperia M.
Link2SD, Foldermount etc. are not working proberly or beeing to complicated for her.
I thought with this new update the Xperia will have this function because a lot of users complaint about this problem.
Sorry about asking this question in the wrong area.

Ah, German. [emoji3] re: handy
They stopped providing default move data/app to SDcard circa Android 4.1
You'd need to buy a phone with at least 4gb+ of internal flash such as Xperia L if you want a turn key solution.
There are many how-to tutorials on installing and setting up Link2SD and once setup, it looks after itself. It'll automatically move data to SDcard if app allows it or can be manually linked.
No solutions by default to move data to SDcard on the Xperia M.
You'll need root access and a system mod/application to do that.
In settings ->storage there is an option to move pics , music and videos to SDcard, but it's just a cleanup to recover space.
Camera also has option to store photos on SDcard

Hey.
Yes German. I´m sorry. Mobile phone .
The option on the camera to store the pics on SD is set and the option to move pics vids ore music on SD shows 0 files.
Ok, no default solution for Xperia M. But other mobile phones/androids are supporting this function further on?
Now I have to check up the possibilities to get this function. Link2SD, App2SD or Swapping the SDcard with internal space?
I don´t know which would be the best way...
Sony does have the option to use the external SD as primary storage in Android 4.3, they just chose not to at this time. KK 4.4 has another approach to storage location again.
I have no idea if there'll be further fw updates for the Xperia M.
I would suggest root access for the handy first and then Link2SD unless your requirements dictate other requirements.
If using the SD card as external storage and the card is not a class10 or better, I'd consider a new 32GB card (e.g. 32GB SanDisk Extreme 45MB read)

Hello and thanks a lot for your advice.
The Swapping Tool sounds interessting.
How get i started?
Downloading the .zip, extract it...?
adb and drivers means, the Sony Companion is running and detecting the mobile phone?
To root the handy i use Framaroot, is that ok?
What I have to do else bevor running the install.bat?
Thank you very much for your support.

Nope..Unfortunately you cant in Xperia T2 Ultra...but you can use apps like gl2sd to move heavy games to sd card...and ofcourse you need to root your phone for this...
I know abt that with root i can do that, But still i have to move the apps manually. Actually i was looking for something which directly install apps on SD Card. Thanks by the way!

I will try, Thanks a lot for your help!
afaik, new FW update for T2 Ultra has Move to SD option natively right?
My Sony Xperia M runs out of space all the time, and although I have an SD card inside it, I can't move apps on to it. What should I do?! Installing custom Operating System is out of the option (bootloader unlock allowed: No), and all other guides on the internet so far haven't worked.
If you can't move certain apps, you should try apps such as Link2SD that enable you to move all apps to the SD card. Keep in mind though that some widgets will be unusable if you do move the apps that add them.

You need root and an app called Link 2 SD for apk files, or/and foldermount to move obb files to sd card.
