HOW TO MOVE ANDROID PHONE APPLICATION TO SD CARD

Lately, I was trying to move some applications slowing down my phone to my sd card. I finally get it done with just a few little steps I will be sharing with us.

WHY YOU CAN NOT MOVE YOUR APP TO SD CARD

First, You should have Android v2.2 or above

(Android 2.1 does not support App2DS function, and some phone modules/ROMs has disabled app2sd in system level, the app will not work in this case).

Then, if you are ROOTed user, make sure USB debugging is enabled and there are at least 16M+ internal memory left for app2sd to work. (If less than that value, you can try to backup/uninstall some apps, move apps, and then reinstall backup app and move them again. :)

In some special case, app2sd is not working any more (actually worked before!), you can still try to re-root you phone, it may fixed. Sometimes it works!

If you are normal user (not rooted user). You should enable the "app 2 SD" function in your phone. You can find the method on WEB or just follow the steps below:

    1. Install the USB driver on PC;

    2. Enable "USB debugging" in "Settings"->"Application"->"Development" of your phone and connect it to PC;

   (for step 3, you can choose A or B)

    3. Find the path of "adb.exe" (e.g. "C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Sync 3.0"). Then run command line("cmd") and execute following command one by one:

        "cd <driver>"(<driver> means the disk driver where "adb.exe" exists, e.g. "cd C:"),

        "cd <path>"(<path> means the full path of "adb.exe", not include file name "adb.exe", e.g. "cd C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Sync 3.0"),

        "adb shell",

        "pm setInstallLocation 2"

There you go. You finally Get it...
