Hi
I have LG Optimus P690 running Android 2.3.4
I wanted to setup my phone installation location to SD
by those familiar step...
adb devices
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
all went fine...
but When I installed a app , it was installed in primary memory
instead of sd memory.
That means those adb steps didn't work... is that so....
doesn't it work on 2.3 version of android.
When ran adb devices on cmd..
I didn't get a serial number starting with 'H', is that a problem....
Help me...
Only certain roms allow making the sd card the default location for installing apps. An example is CyanogenMod. Basically, it can be supported in Android 2.2 and above (since starting from Froyo, applications were able to be moved to the sd card).
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Doing this with stock rom
So there's no way to do this with a rooted stock rom? I'd very much like to do it because I have a low-end P500 and the internal memory is ridiculously small.
You can always move your apps manually.
You can't move all the apps to your SD card unless you've AppsToSD or similar to that installed on your fone. If you already have it in your fone then there is one app (ROM Toolbox) that might help you to move your apps directly to the SD card.
they've two version (FREE and PRO) on the Playstore (choose according to your needs).
Good luck!
If that didn't work, then just install the app to the phone then move to sd in manage applications

Just follow this step:
To install an app to the SD card on Android, the application itself needs to support it. In my experience though, most current apps can be moved to the external storage. However, the system installs all new applications on your device’s internal memory by default, except for those that explicitly request external installation. Luckily, it’s possible to make your Android 2.2+ phone put apps on the SD card by default instead. Here’s how:
1. First you have to enable USB debugging on your Android device from Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging.
2. Now you need to download and install the Android SDK on your computer from the attached file. Once you’ve downloaded and extracted the package to the folder of your choice, run SDK Setup.exe and click on Available Packages to the left. If you get an error message at this point, enable “Force http: in the Settings. From the list of available packages, select “Usb Driver package”, click on the Install Selected button in the bottom right corner and follow the prompts.
3. Connect your phone to your computer with a USB-cable. Your OS will prompt you to install new drivers. Choose to install them from the android-sdk/usb_driver folder. Do not mount your device; you only need to plug-in the cable.
4. Next, run a command prompt and navigate to the Android-SDK\tools folder. In Windows, this is done by selecting Run from the Start Menu (or by pressing Win+R) and typing cmd. You change drives in the command prompt by entering the drive letter followed by a colon (, and change folders with the CD command. For example, to enter the Android-SDK folder, simply type cd android-sdk.
5. In the Android-SDK\tools folder, type in adb devices and you should get a serial number starting with “H” in return. All you have to do next is entering adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2. You’re done! Android will now install apps to the SD card by default.
6. To switch back to storing software on the internal memory, enter adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0.
Steps on how to install app in sd / move app to sd
There are certain tricks to regain a couple of MB here and there, like clearing the cache that some applications use, but for those with a taste for apps and games, the phone storage limitation has been quite a nuisance. Android users with root access have been able to enjoy the Apps2SD utility, but getting it to work is a comparatively complicated process. Frozen yogurt to the rescue!

firstly this method is created by sparkym3, I have modified it according to our smart tab 1, here is a link link to original thread:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439429
how to:-
this method requires that you should have adb drivers installed on your PC/mac
1. download necessary package from here:- http://www.4shared.com/zip/0Ux1y9L3/root_karbonn_st1_v3.html
2. extract it anywhere on your pc/mac
3. connect your device with pc/mac after enabling debugging from developer option
4. open tpsparky dheeraj (dhlalit11) root.bat
5. after 3-4 seconds of opening tab will automatically reboot and command prompt will show "press any key to continue"
6. wait till tab reboot, then again enable debugging, connect it and press any key
7. tab will again reboot. do the 6th step again
8. this time it will say you are rooted
9. you will be redirected to adb shell if you get # then you are successfully rooted if not then start over
10. you must install superuser to use root else you will get segmentation fault
some notes you should keep in mind:-
1. su supplied in the package is specially compiled for mips, do not replace it with anyone other
2. root is not complete (don't know why), some apps like es file explorer, gamecih may refuse to have root but apps like titanium backup, root dim are working great
3. never mess with busybox, you may have bootloops
to have cwm recovery go here

Changelog:-
v3
hopefully addressed the " 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
v2
1. script is more clean and informative
2. changed some lines to fit according to the tab
3. added wait for device command now much more easy
4. contains two separate scripts to install superuser and file manager (only install superuser when you don't have it on the tablet

then I cannot fix
the only way to avoid the low memory problem is to force apps to be installed on the sd card not the internal memory
first u have to
1: download Htc Sync
2:download Google Android sdk (Open it and install Android tools)
sorry this is my second thread so i cant post links
So lets start :
1-Connect your phone to your PC using HTC sync. make sure that you are under HTC Sync
2-navigate to the directory that SDK is installed. then find tools folder where the file adp.exe is exist in.
3-press Shift button and right click on the folder and click on "Open command window here”.
4-In the command prompt enter “adb shell”. it must give you an error and if you try it again your HTC Sync will be disconnected and you will be on USB debugging mode which is correct.
5-so after second time you tried the command you will see a new line which is started by $ and allows you to type your commands in. then type “pm setInstallLocation 2” and press enter. in the next line don’t do anything and leave it for around 30 second and the shell will be closed automatically.
6-after this your applications from Google play will be installed in your SD and you will have more internal memory space.
another thing you should do is to go to google play and install app called APP2SD.
this app will help you to move the rest of installed applications on your phone to your SD memory.
aslo dont move widgets to sd card , they wont work

before you start of you need these things
1.Your Phone :silly:
2.the adb utility Files(if you have SDK MANAGER INSTALLED you can find these under plat-form tools folder) and if you DONT ( you can download them, link are given BELOW )
3.USB CABLE
4.Your USB DRIVERS SHOULD BE INSTALLED
----(This tweak requires Android 2.2 or later)-----
Steps:
1.Enable USB DEBUGGING first..
(Open the Settings screen, tap Applications, and select Development,USB Debugging)
2.Connect Your Phone
(connect your Android device to your computer. Windows should locate the device and install the appropriate drivers automatically. If it doesn’t, you may have to download and install the appropriate drivers from your Android device’s manufacturer. Do not mount the device after connecting it – just plug it in.) ---- (FOR HTC USERS -- SELECT HTC SYNC )
3.if you have downloaded the files from the below link , extract them and open a command window there ( BY HOLDING SHIFT AND RIGHT CLICK >> OPEN COMMAND WINDOW HERE ) . if you already have the SDK MANAGER and Android SDK Platform-tools package installed , browse to the platform tools folder and open a command window there
4.Run the adb devices command and you should see your connected Android device.
5.Type the following command to set the default install location to your SD card:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
6.If you want to revert this change later and install apps to the internal storage by default, just retype the above command and replace 2 with 0
0-Default
1-Internal
2-External
7.Disconnect the Phone .. Enjoy
