Today we will be talking about moving android apps to memory card by default. After that all the apps will place in sd card and you will face no more”low memory” notification. The best thing about this method is that it doesn’t require rooting your android device. It’s safe, it’s Easy and it works.
FEW THINGS WHICH WE REQUIRE FOR INSTALLING APP IN SD CARD WITHOUT ROOTING:
Android phone above V2.2
Laptop
USB cable compatible with phone
Java development kit
Android SDK
Use Google to download above development kits. Before starting this method you should make backup of all your data. Although it’s a safe method but it is always advisable to make a backup of your data. You can use application like titanium backup or similar apps like that for this. Now when you have made a copy of everything, we can move on to method.
Follow these steps as told:
- First download and unzip the android SDK to your pc(you can download it very easily by doing some searches on Google).
- After you unzip, run the SDK manager.exe file.
- Now do a tick mark on android SDK tool and platform under the given TOOL’s section
- Press the install package Button below the page
- Close the SDK manager.
- Now we need to connect our test phone to PC through cable.
- Enable USB debugging mode. (To enable USB debugging mode, Go to settings, click on applications then select development, Inside check USB debugging).
- To go inside the tools directory where the SDK is unzipped.
- Copy the address.
- Now open command prompt.
- in command prompt type cd and the copied address.
- Then type adb devices and enter.
- Then type command adb shell pm getInstallLocation 2.
Now your phone is directed to install apps in memory card. Here location 2 means External memory.
Just pay heed that some apps works better when they are in phone memory, like whatsapp, apps with some widgets. They may malfunction if sent to memory card. It’s better to keem them intact in phone. Otherwise this method works fine.
