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?

Hey guys I tried flashing framework mods for Xperia S on my Acro S before and I noticed that apps cannot detect my external sd card even my pc!
And I heard that the file framework-res.apk inside /system/framework is what causes this problem... Is this true? If it is, what specific file inside it causes the issue?
Also, I'm planning to unlock my bootloader soon to flash such kernels, will Xperia S kernels work on my Acro S? Will external sd card function with that? Please help... I want my Acro S to be fast and power saver at the same time based on Sony's stock ICS ROM
Xperia S mods are made for Xperia S, a device that doesn't have a SD Card. Something inside the ROM that dictates the SD Card access isn't on S. That's why.
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
hello all, i have 2 Xperia Acro S and one of it it's gone crazy. it's the external sd card that does not detect. it's been that way since ICS 2.55 until updated to recent .200 (.211 not yet). it's stock, everything's stock (locked BL, not root)
when i say it isn't detected, it's not like not detecting at all, i tried to reboot, sometimes it detect, can play some movies, music but sooner or later, the movie (for example) showing error says "cannot render file", and jump to home screen. say after 20-30 minutes, it's detectable, can be used (watching movie - from the point it halted) until it occured again.
at first i thought it was the SD card itself, then i switch to new card, format and so and still, the problem persist. i even use both card on other Xperia Acro S, as well as SD card reader to my PC, both worked well like nothing's gone wrong with the card.
my question is, probably the phone is causing this and is can be repair? how it'd be done? is it software or hardware related?
many thanks for the help, thank you.
My Phone Specs:
Xperia M
Model# C1904
Andriod Ver: 4.1.2
Kernel Ver: 3.4.0
Build: 15.1.C.1.17
Phone: ROOTED
Memory-Free: 1.5GB out of 2GB.
Do most of you find that after all the bloatware is removed, you still can't install and play any high-end games meaning games that require lets say 4GB or more of free space to run. I bought an external 64GB Class 10 MicroSD card hoping to resolve the memory issue. Now my issue is that games downloaded from Google Play Store won't install directly on external SD Card.
I did some research on youtube but really, but after tying many steps suggested there i'm still unable to install games that require a big-amount of space on the first-time-run (meaning anything that require 4GB or more of free space).
Any ideas around this issue would be a great relief.
(when replying would you be so kind to update me with specific steps you followed that worked for you. As im just getting into this hobby of customizing my phone, so im only a beginner-here)
Thank you in advance for your time, and reading my post.
Why don't u try link2sd ? For that you'll have to create a partition on your sd card. It works on most of the phones. I can't guide you through a step by step procedure as i don't have a xperia device but here's a video tutorial, it should help you.

link2sd is bit complicated one...try to swap the external memory to internal memory for swapping google it
You should update your phone, 4.3 is out and you are still using an old version of 4.1.2

Is it possible to install apps directly from play store to Micro SD Card? Since i don't have required space on my phone memory for big games like Asphalt 8.

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!
