I am using the same process @elastic but using Leinard method on TMO that doesn't require messing up with system files, and it is a must do for all sailors because the internal storage of about 13.7 GB...

Using flatpak instead of rpm was an option. See https://together.jolla.com/question/136123/flatpak-as-a-app-distribution-format/.

Here Maps was just an example. Management of space does address SFOS, android and data. Yes, we can blame the app, the os and me :) Containers? Sounds to be a possibility, although I have no idea why...

@Moo-Crumpus as you are mentioning Here Maps, I presume you mean moving android apps to sd card. That should be achievable as the apks are self-contained and may just be moved (they don't have the...

... it would also be possible to have the option in system / apps -> move to sd. @jollailija: iOS is the only one I never used :) But I never said it would be easy. If easiness was the main target...

@Moo-Crumpus: > So, the cell is for genuine system apps, updates, data and the sd is for the apps. So you store your music, pictures, ebooks, videos on the phone's internal memory rather than on the...

@Moo-Crumpus naming an OS that doesn't support SD cards at all is super easy: iOS. About the GUI: I can make an app for moving apps to SD card. It is very straightforward to do on paper, but in reality...

As sd's are much slower, but offer greater capacity then the internal storage, you want to decide from case to case. Therefore, ln -s and commandline is **not** the answer. It is either 'optifying', or...

Pardon? The reason why I want to install applications on the SD is that my cells space is pretty full, obviously. Name any other cell os where you can not move apps to sd cards. I know none. Bad, bad...

@Moo-Crumpus, I think your definition of "really basic features" is very different from mine. ;) At least with Sailfish we have the power to implement the feature you want, thanks to the open and Linux...

serious. apps binaries and resources are installed under /usr and you can't just choose where to install. for example N900 had hacks to "optifying" packages and they were installed to /opt directory,...

rainisto, this is what everyone will do after using the cell for a while. While bash in the cell is nice to have, it is no excuse for bad design. Bad design means lack of really basic features in the...

and that is very sad for all the "simple" and "ordinary" user... why is it so complicated to make an option like: store in phone-memory/on sd-card???

On my device it takes ages (several minutes) to mount the sd card after reboot. So I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to install an app to external storage.
