Can Resources Download to an SD Card?

First, you need to root your tablet/phone

FYI, Faithlife doesn't support rooted devices.

Can you point to where Logos says they don't support rooted devices? That would be unfortunate if they didn't--rooting a device is one of the first things a number of owners do...

Yes, as a Faithlife Employee I mentioned it back in 2012 here on the forums (and in many other places on these forums):  https://community.logos.com/forums/p/58064/418402.aspx#418402 

You can root your device if you wish but we don't officially support rooted devices (either Android or iOS). 

If it's "official", Logos might want to think about making an official statement about that somewhere (i.e., not buried in the user forums...). And also state what a lack of support means, e.g., can't run the app at all, can run the app but can't sync 'Notes' (for example; just picking something out of the air), can run the app and everything should work but we can't help if something goes wrong.

Confused - if LOGOS cannot install to a micro SD Card, why is this statement in the FAQ? 

Can the apps sometimes be installed to a micro SD Card?

We've updated this page: https://www.logos.com/support/android/faqs  

Unsupported means you are on your own if anything in the app (whatsoever) doesn't work on a rooted device. If something doesn't work on a rooted device that also doesn't work on a supported device, that's a bug that we want to fix.

Appreciate you clarifying that.

Incidentally, we dropped support for anything below Android 4.x quite a while ago.

Painfully aware of that... I'm looking for help finding v. 4.3.9 that I can install on an Android 2.3 phone (https://community.logos.com/forums/t/122471.aspx). I installed Logos on one of my phones a while back (from the Play Store) and it works great as a Bible reader (which is all I want on the phone), but since the phone is not rooted I can't find the apk to put it on my second phone (which I want to take overseas with me on a translation checking trip next week). If I go to Play Store I'm told, "Your device isn't compatible with this version."

Paul,

Better hurry before FL staff realizes the file is still available, and take it offline [;)]

I agree!  I have been a logos cx since version 1 and have spent a similarly a  large investment in scholar pack, additional books, bibles, commentaries, uprades and to not have the ability to put books on the sd card is rediculous.  There are now many other digital works, programs out there now at a lot less money.  Looks like you Logos/Faithlife could put a little effort into this program feature.  Many of us do not want to be connected to a cloud all the time and cannot be especially 2hen using the mobile version.

Please consider making this a priority as mentioned above.

Also, when speaking about the desktop version allowing to store the books in other location's like it was possible to do in earlier versions.

I cannot speak for FL but it has been pointed out on several occasions that the staffing levels have been greatly reduced and while I do not know for sure what that means for many requested features I do know that several times it has been said this or that planned feature is not longer feasible due to smaller numbers of employees. There are dozens of improvements I would love to see on the mobile apps but I have resigned myself to no serious improvement or new features... I may well be surprised but doubt it as FL seems very content to building tighter and tighter integration with the web... Indeed in the future maybe the only mobile app FL will have is the web app (hope not but who knows).

There is a very easy way to force Logos app to show the option to store resources in SD Card.

1) Activate Developers Option by going to Settings > About Device > Software Info > tap on Build Number until Developers Mode is turned on.

2) Once step 1 is completed, go out to Settings. You'll see Developer Option now available.

3) Go into Developer Option > Scroll to the end > Turn on "Force allow apps on external"

4) Go out to Settings > Apps > Bible (Logos) > Storage > change to "External Storage" under Storage used.

Done!

My question, given your instructions on how to access the Developer Option protocols, is whether or not your resources are being saved on the internal storage or external storage (SD card)?
