Moving Apps to SDCard in Android Phone

  • In Android Many apps cant be moved from phones internal memory to SDCard , Facebook was one of the app which i couldn't transfer to SDCard . 
  • But there is a solution to do this,Just u need to have android SDK installed in your PC/laptop.
  • Connect your Android through USB port(Make sure u have installed the your phone device driver).And in your Android device go to Settings-->Applications-->Development and check mark the USB debugging.
  • Then from the command prompt locate the location of ADB(Usually it will be in android-sdk-windows/platform-tools for windows machine) .
  • Then From the command prompt  type "adb device", after clicking Enter you must be able to see your Android device name.
  • After that to make SDcard as the default location for instaltion of app and also to tranfer app from internal storage to SDcard use "adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2"
  • Now you can see the apps which previously not able to transfer to SDcard are getting transferred.
  • If you want to disable this Then you van use "adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0
