How to install ALL applications on SDcard
To run commands which will enable Move to SD card button for most installed apps, you need to have adb executable on your computer. Adb stands for Android Debug Bridge and is used for Android software development, but it is a very useful tool to have for any advanced Android user. You do not need to have a rooted phone to run adb commands.
here is the steps you need to do:-
1.
Download the SDK installer from Download
and install it. (it will need some JAVA stuff for running ADB,dont worry, if you already have , then it will installed, and if you dont have , it will show you what to install)
2.
After installing, open SDK Manager from your SDK installation directory (usually its c:/android/sdk)
3.
it will load after about a minute, so pls be calm
it will get update for new packages, let it do so.
after that, select "platform-tools" (Its in second line mostly)
click on "1 install packages.." button on right lower corner.
A popup will open, just select "accept" there and install the component.
4.
Go to settings > Applications > Development and enable USB debugging.
connect your phone to PC via USB cable (do not turn ON data transfer mode)
5.
open command prompt from "cmd" in windows.
and go to your "ads" directory
(if you have install sdk in default path, then this should be done via typing this command "cd c:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools"
you can change location as per your installation.
6.
when the folder is loaded, type this (without the quotes)
"adb devices"
and you must see some no. (like 0123456789ABCDEF device)
if you see this, then you are ready to go to next step.
7.
Now type this
"adb shell"
and hit enter.
you should see a "$" sign in next line.
now type this
"pm setInstallLocation 2"
and then "exit"
Done now
now just go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications
and select the SD card / USB storage TAB.
there, you will see tick on some apps, which are already installed on SD card.
so, just click the apps which are not ticked (i.e. installed on phone) and select "move to SD"
and you are done
Note:-
Some application with widgets will not work properly if they are installed on SD card.
