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

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"!
I've downloaded the latest Xperia Neo V's Super jelly bean (5.5) kernel, rom and gapp files. Now do I just put these files onto my SD card and flash from there? I also can't see a boot.img file in the Rom folder, and I was confused as to whether to put this folder just like this in the zip format and flash, or would i need a boot.img file? And had to download the kernel separately, so created a zip folder for it.
Just flash jb kernel and follow thread instructions
Just ask questions in neo v forum
Hello,
My huawei p6(international version) failed to update to KK 4.4 from B132 JB 4.2.2.
Here's the reason:
E:Error executing updater binary in zip/external??
Error flashing zip ' /external_sd/dload/B510.zip'
FAILED
Anyone had this issue ?
I'v tried all the options what are around the web.
Any other suggestions?
You can't flash official rom in zip file.Unpack zip,folder dload copy to ext. card and than flash rom with stock recovery.

I have used both, and funny it is, both recoverys show the same error. I just flashed TWRP and tought it might give me a better answer.
Also i tried trough Huaweis suite and it tells me an error like this"Unable to unzip zip" on every firmware i try.

It seems like you've put the zip file directly into your SD card, you have to extract the folder named "dload" and then put it in the root directory of the SD card.

Where in your SD card are you putting the dload folder with the update.app file?
So you have to rename B510.zip to update.zip and then put the zip onto your sd card in a folder called dload, after that just use local update or force update via the three button method.

I'm no expert, but I think he has to unpack the update.app file, put it inside a folder named "dload" and then move that folder into the root directory of the SD card. I don't think the system can read the zip file directly.

Normally this would be right but it's an OTA update so it has to be a zip.

Hi! I had the same problem there was no way to install B510 downloaded from offical site so I downloaded B510 for Romania by some advice... so it might be a problem with your .zip file

Just rename it to update.zip (in lower case) and place it to internal storage (not in any folder).

Posted in the wrong forum, buddy. Anyways, the zip you have is correct. Have you tried looking in your "Download" folder?
