I'm sorry if there is already topic about this somewhere I just didn't find any. So what I want to know is that is it possible to transfer android apps/games to SD card using file browser for example. And if it's possible then what I need to do to transfer Clash of Clans for example to SD card so that it still works. I mean what exactly am I looking for to do so and where from?

you can vote on questions (like the 1 you got on your question) and answers with the up arrow. Also there is a difference between comments, like this one and answers. Answers should be relevant or a definate solution of the question, so you can change your answer to a comment by editing it ;)

@mosen a bit more descriptive please ;)

@Sarys you cannot upvote your own contributions but voting is arrows up and down, for questions and answers you see up and downvoting arrows to the left of the contribution (question and answers only) - for comments you need to hover a comment with the mouse to see an up arrow (no way of downvoting comments yet), this might be tricky on touch-screen devices with no mouse-hover though

No, but you can vote for that here: https://together.jolla.com/question/22944/it-should-be-possible-to-install-android-apps-to-the-sd-card/

This topic is easy to find if you search by title. To do so, just type "android sd" in the search box and wait for the results in the dropdown to show, it's the 2nd result.

A working possibillity to utilize your SD-Card to have large apps or data within android is chemists nice solution. https://together.jolla.com/question/40802/how-to-format-your-usd-card-to-btrfs-and-share-space-with-android/ It is rather complex and you should read his manual twice to understand what you are doing, espacially regarding different sailfish versions!

Does not solve huge amounts of apps and their own size. But you could probably add the apk folder there too (separate subvolume of course)
