You cannot run apps off a SD card with that version of Android. You would need to upgrade (if that device will allow it) to "Marshmallow" aka 6.0 to be able to make the change over. Also, the device has to have not be restricted by the manufacturer (which does happen) for this to work.


How to turn external SD card into internal storage on "Marshmallow".

NOTE: Please be sure you start with a blank SD card. It needs to be blank because when the card is converted to "Internal" storage, it will be formatted (wiped) and encoded (making the cards data only readable by that device).

1. Go to device “Settings”, then select “Storage”.
2. Select your "SD Card", then tap the “three-dot menu“ (top-right), now select “Settings” from in there.
