Insufficient storage for Android apps? Move apps which you think are non-movable<\/strong> to your SD card (like Google Drive, YouTube, Maps, some keyboards like Swype + Dragon) and save space on your internal storage. To do this, you will need to download Android SDK Tools and execute only two commands in Command Line \/ Shell console.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download SDK Tools<\/strong> for your platform (if you have downloaded and configured platform-tools please go to 7<\/strong>.)<\/li>\n
  2. Visit site<\/a> and choose latest SDK Tools only (link to latest when I wrote this tutorial:\u00a0http:\/\/dl.google.com\/android\/installer_r22.6.1-windows.exe)
    \n    \"download<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Install downloaded package. Please remember install location of SDK.<\/li>\n
  4. Confirm that you would like to open SDK Manager after installation or go to installed folder and open SDK Manager manually.<\/li>\n
  5. In SDK Manager window select only platform tools <\/strong>and google usb driver<\/strong> entries.
    \n    \"platform_tools_sdk_manager\"<\/a>\"google_usb_driver\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Accept<\/strong> license and click Install<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. After successfully installation you will find a new\u00a0platform-tools<\/strong>\u00a0folder in you \u00a0SDK directory.
    \n    \"with_platform_tools_folder\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Open Command Line using Windows Start button and type cmd<\/strong>\u00a0and go to SDK install location\/platform-tools
    \n    \"cmd_sdk_root\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. Connect your Android device via USB to computer<\/span>\n
      \n
    • adb devices<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • After that (if you your device has been listed) check your default app installation location:\n
        \n
      • adb shell pm getInstallLocation<\/strong>\u00a0(Android <4.0)<\/span><\/li>\n
      • adb shell pm get-install-location<\/strong>\u00a0(Android 4.x)\n

        Results: (0: phone, 2: external)<\/p>\n

        <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

      • If you get 0 (phone) you need to change default install location to external (2)\n
          \n
        • adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2<\/strong>\u00a0(Android <4.0)<\/li>\n
        • adb shell pm set-install-location 2<\/strong>\u00a0(Android 4.x)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • That’s all! Now you can move your heavy apps to external storage and also new apps will be always installed on your SD card.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
