Install Apps on SDCARD without root

[rHycH]

Hi guys. I was wondering if there's a way to install apps on SDCARD without root? I've already changed the default storage in settings but it doesn't seem to work.

mine it's working.

I think normal apps aren't normally allowed to use sdcard in Lollipop(or maybe from Kit Kat onward). They don't even have permission to see the sdcard...But why would you want that? Do you have that many apps installed that internal is full?

 

[rHycH]

@andrei80 yup. Some of my games are 1gb above. @ItalianWolf when you install an app, does it directly go to the SDCARD? I wonder why that's not my case.

@rHycH
yes (memory usage tells )
Maybe sd card isn't fast enought? It's, at least, a class 10 card?
Some apps can't be installed on sd card and can't be moved to sd card from app manager.

@ItalianWolf Yes, I believe this is a class 10 card. If you don't mind can you give me an example of an app that you were able to install successfully on your SDCARD? Thanks!

Also, Link2SD/Mounts2SD/Apps2SD doesn't work for me. Anybody else got a different experience? Games are taking a lot of space on my internal SD. Specifically talking about linking/binding obb files.

@Rookert I believe link2sd requires root to work.

Yup, all I have read indicate that root is needed for achieving what you want
