hello ,
well basically I have problem with my storage , its almost full , and my SD card has lots of space , but I don't know how to make SD card as main storage , to get there all downloads from google play for eg . ive been reading here many pots but for my phone I couldn't find answer . I don really know what type of phone mine is lol , at the back of my phone it says SWEES , model number X505 , android version 4.2 (it looks like Samsung galaxy,but its not, I guess)..
ive been looking in settings and nothing works , tried to install all kinds of programs ,also nothing :( maybe somebody could help me out,id appreciate it xD
 
No, there won't be anything like that in the settings. Android 4.2 doesn't even support the partial moving of apps to SD that 2.2 and 2.3 included.

The truth is that Android expects apps (and app data) to be stored on the device, and removable SD cards are mainly for media. If you do have music, pictures or videos on your device you could move them to the card and free up some space that way.

The only way you will be able to do what you want is by rooting the device. The trouble is these off-brand clones usually have very little software support. How good is your German? I tried a web search for "root swees X505", and all of the most promising-looking discussions were in German. However, this post seems to be claiming that the phone is rootable and links to a thread with instructions - as I have no experience of this device and only very basic German I cannot really say anything about it myself.
