[Q] How to install .APK file directly to SD CARD?

I have an htc desire rooted and have a 4gb sd card.
i put the .apk file in the sd card and access it with file explorer in the mobile.
how can i install the .apk file directly to sd card instead of installing it in the mobile storage?
thanks

I don't think it's possible, but what you can do is install it normally and and then use Application Manager to move it to SD. (Apps to SD or a2sd)
Perhaps you already know this so sorry if i'm preaching to the quior!
Of course the ROM has to support this as well as the App. If i remember correctly i think this was supported officially from 2.2 onward. (Froyo). Custom ROMs, especially Cyanogenmods, usually have this feature working out of the box.

so is there anyway of doing it up to today?

Of course. It's called a2sd.

You should install a rom with app2sd or data2sd

I found a solution. Connect your phone to computer and use adb
Code:
adb install -s /patch/to/file

jast wanna help u !!!

Hi here an odd way by the way:
as far as I know in the mixui10ml (as a custom rom 4 xperia ray search 4 it)there is such ability but u should unzip it and find and test apk files and install them to find out which one do such thing
I personally do other work ... copy all apk file in to my new downloaded custom rom and replace them and it works great!
and i should that point this apk isnt like apk2sd & other silly apk... it added in to system as a property and automatically run whenever an apk install.
its the only *(hard but real) way* that i find by searching in 2 years!!! sorry 4 my poor EN just want to help!
at last I find the name of that apk!!: "package installer.apk"!

Why would you like to install it as a system app?
Installing it normally e.g. on CM9 via play store works fine.

someone help T_T

Basically you just install the Google Map first
Then install Root Browser Lite and open it (you may try other browsers but I personally prefer this)
Find and move Google Map (I don't know its exact name in there) from /data/app to /system/app
Fix the permission to rw-r--r-- (644)
Reboot
Done

can't install xposed framework

I rooted my 12.2 and when I tried to install xposed framework, I get the following error:
Copying Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip...
Could not extract Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip
I found this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698141 and tried it with the SElinux mode changer but that didn't work either.
Does anybody know of a fix?
Thank you

Have you installed TWRP recently?

yes i installed the note pro exynos version of twrp

Try installing folder mount from the play store and run it, then try installing xposed again

Yep @ FolderMount. It will fix any writing issues for you. Just run the app and it will let you know it detected a problem and fixed it. Just reboot when asked
Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk

if you have an external sdcard mounted xposed may tries to extract the disabler.zip to your sdcard.
because of that annoying kitkat sdcard-permission-feature it may fails.
if foldermount doesn't work you could try this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix

Change install method from "Classical/write to /system directly" to auto recovery zip install (must have custom recovery). Had the same problem and this worked for me.

Reboot after copy to System/app

Hello
I rooted my HTC Desire 820. But something must have gone wrong, because whenever i use" es explorer" to copy musicfx.apk to the system/app folder the phone just reboots.
The app has root explorer on so as an un-experienced user I am running into a dead end.
Can someone please help me to get this solved so i can install in the system folder.
Or does someone have a solution to get an working equalizer on the phone?
=> the normal equalizer apps from the store don't always work as they sometimes just don't seem to change sound.
As for the build in "boomsound", well it is pretty **** on my phone, bass turns into cracking noise and the highs are to damm high. (Working with sennheiser urbanites and sennheiser 300 CX II so I think its not the hardware)
Thanks in advance

If ur device on s-on, u can't make system app from es file manager.. if u want make musicfx.apk or any app as a system app then copy apps in system app folder and give the permission (rw-r-r) in twrp recovery mode.
In recovery mode first mount system,
Then file manager..

I did that but now when i reboot from recovery (any of the 4 modes) I get rebooted into the recovery part again. There is no way out.
Needed a Factory reset(restore didn't work either)

This bug in the recovery...
Power off ur device from the reboot option and leave it for 1or 2 minutes..then plug the chrger then power on ur device
If this is not worked..
Press volume+and volume-and power button after some time screen goes black and then release the both volumes button nd keep pressing the power button try this mant time..

Try this, download aroma file manager zip file.
save apk files in sd card
now flash aroma zip file in recovery mode and it'll open a file manager. now just locate and copy the apk file from your sd card and paste it to system apps folder in root dictionary. Now reboot your phone and check app list. :fingers-crossed:

Thank you for the reply!
I tried for several hours but I just can't get the specific app to work. Might be a wrong app for my phone. I don't know. So I tried to get the beats audio, which I was used to, and loved with the sennheiser urbanite, from my HTC one x+ on to the HTC 820. This worked (altought it can't be turned off).
Sound is good now but once every reboot the OS tells me " MusicFX(the first apk) has stopped working". I can't seem to find any app through play store, app manager, file manager, that carries this name.
I will make a new post of this problem.

There is no need for that anymore. I got the EQ I was used to installed on the HTC 820. But thank you for willing to help me out!
But I ran into a problem linked to my failed attempt of installing Musicfx.
It is described over here :

Maybe you have an idea?

I tried that to. But when i came at a step that said, "open viper and it will ask for update, run update" it just said it could not find one. Then it said the phone doesn't have BUSYBOX yet(wich it had).
Anyway,I had connection and followed all the steps of the guide(link below).
But when the step using busy box came up, pressing the instal button in the app made the phone reboot instantly.
Could this have anything to do with s-on/off?

Wow,
I am new in the rooting/android scene so what you just did made it a lot easier for me. It works perfect and is so easy to flash. And after 2 hours of listening music no glitches.
Thank you! And if I could give 2 likes for one post I would do it.

Which eraphone u using ?
