Help Question about memory

Currently im using Xperia Play and i almost ran out of default space on my phone what will happen when its full will evrything start to save on my SD card and is there anything like CCleaner which "cleans" pc but for android
 
Unfortunately, there are no cleaners except uninstalling apps. Go through your application management in settings and see if any of your apps can be moved to the SD. Note: not all apps can be moved to the SD. This will free up some space.

To answer your question. Apps do not automatically install to your SD if your onboard memory is full. You will not be able to download anymore apps.
 
try "apps 2 sd" from the market. This will sort through your apps and sort out the ones that can be moved.

easy as pie to use

When mine ran out of space it bricked (not rooted) itself. It just boot cycled until the battery died. But I haven't heard of that happening to anyone else so maybe it was a fluke.

First install app2sd like Degga_D said

then open up command prompt (if you're in windows) goto adb, its located [drive installed on, normally C]:\[wherever you installed it, i.e. program files, or if you unzipped it, unzip folder]\android-sdk_r12-windows\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools (where you have it installed might differ from mine. If you don't have the android sdk library, this makes it worth it.)

when you get to the folder you have adb in, and your phone is plugged in (USB Debuging needs to be turned on (settings -> application -> development),

type:
adb shell
(you'll have to wait a little bit)
when you see the command prompt change to "#"
then type:
pm setInstallLocation 2
reboot

this will set the automatic place apps install to as your sd card,
Let's Golf 2 takes up 280kbs, and i have 110 apps install and 106mbs free...

edit:note, you DO NOT need to be rooted for this to work.
