Default [Q] Applications not installing in the external memory card in Samsung galaxy R

Hello Everyone,
I bought Samsung galaxy R (I 9103) some 10 days back. I am staying in India.I am trying to install application files directly to the external memory card but i am not able to find any option for that. The strange thing is that, the phone is using its 4gb (internal) usable memory as the SD card storage, so every time i use the option "Move to SD card" it simply moves the file to the phones USB storage. Also the memory card is shown as folder "External_SD" but no option for installing into that folder also. What i do every time is just copy the installation files from the usb storage to the memory card and use it. But this thing is also not working for every application. Can anyone provide any solution to this problem??

Thanks in Advance.....

1. Change /etc/vold.fstab file
you need ROOT access
change file in some other location with text editor or find one already fixed
replace existing file with root explorer or adb shell
reboot

2. Make a linux partition (ext4) on external SD - that could be used for link2sd or app2sd apps

and use google search - all answers already there

I think rooting the device will void the warranty and as i have bought this phone recently only so i am quite reluctant of doing that. Anyways thanks for your post...:)
