Try finding that option in the security menu in settings or you can google it.It is very easy to find(I am currently on JB and don't remember exactly where it appears in ICS).

Thanks Mr Anivesh93.

Found it... However, my laptop still can't detect my phone when im in cmd prompt. Is it has something to do about me not having HTC Sense??

Install adb drivers for your phone after searching for it on google.They are required for further steps.

I DID IT!!!!

It worked!!!! Procedures followed and now all apps are installed to the SD Card.

Thank you Wise-men of XDA Forum....http://xdaforums.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

uh...already did this thing but it kept installed in the internal

1)Download the latest version of Android SDK (which includes adb executable)

2)If you are installing Android SDK on Windows machine, you also need to install USB driver.

3)Connect the phone using USB cable and do not enable USB storage mode.
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and enable USB debugging.
Make sure you also check install from unknown sources option.

4)Start terminal window on your computer (on Windows: click Start, type “cmd” and press Enter).

5)In the terminal window, navigate to this folder : C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools by default.
Check C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools if you’re using a 32-bit version of Windows.

6)Run the adb devices command and you should see your connected Android device.Enter : adb devices

7)Enter : adb shell pm set-install-location 2
(If this command doesn’t work try using the “old” command: pm setInstallLocation 2)

8)If you want to revert this change later and install apps to the internal storage by default, run this command: adb shell pm set-install-location 0
( 0 represents your device’s internal storage, and is the default. 2 represents the external storage, whether it’s an SD card or USB storage. )

9)If the process is sucessfully completed,you will get a new prompt in the cmd window.Reboot and start moving the apps.

A Warning:Some apps shouldn’t be installed to your SD card and should remain installed on the internal storage. The external storage is unavailable when your Android device is mounted on your computer, so apps that remain running all the time should be left on your internal storage.

PRESS THANKS IF IT HELPED,CHEERS!

I have a quiestion that has not been asked yet.
You know,some apps,expecialy games, tend to download aditional files for ex RealRacing3,that downloads almost 2GB of aditional file.
By default the download location is on internal sd card.
So in my situation i have :
Internal - 1GB free
Internal SD - 4 GB free
External SD - 30 GB free

I never ever had the internal full, but the internal sd,is always full. Apps,and especially games tend to download all the stuff in the internal sd

Is it possibile set the default location on external sd?

I also have the same problem as the user above me! Any help would be appreciated.

Hmmm...well you cannot set default location cause games like Real Racing only detect internal SD (as it come first) as it storage for its data...you have to mod the games or the best solutions is to swap your internal with your external (external become internal and internal become external).....

Ifi run this command from terminal emulator apk ,direcly from phone... will work ???

Had some problems but finally is working.

I couldn't find Google usb drivers in my sdk manager
when u followed those commands it says
error:no device found
help me please

SDK trick : Not working on Xolo Q3000... it doesnt show any list of device attached?

Hi Avinesh,

I tried following exactly the same steps as mentioned in your tutorial .. there are several problems, pls help how to resolve this :-

1) Downloaded 354MB huge zip file (adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702.zip) and extracted it onto C:/ drive directly.
2) I didn't follow why u are asking to install USB driver, as my phone directly gets connected to my laptop with usb cable....

NOTE : I think I might be doing mistake here.. Also I am using my friends laptop which has some Admin. control to download hence didnot reload any USB Driver for Xolo Q3000 .... Pl incase if it is required .. pls send me the attchment/url in your reply, as i cannot download or install it. Also, after clicking SDK Manager.exe - a black command window flashes and thats it... it doesn't take inside to check on any reqd. boxes there..

3) Then I connected my phone with usb cable to laptop and set USB bugging tick makred also check install from unknown sources option.
4)Start terminal window on your computer and navigate to this folder : C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\platform-tools> adb devices ...
But it just displays : "List of devices attached" and blank and again goto the same command prompt ???

Pl help if i am making any mistakes here or not follwoing the steps properly.....

Pls HELP URGENLY as I am not able to use my new xoloq3000 without enough intenal memory ... I have not major apps running but still my phone pops out message to uninstall some apps to make enough space ?? Its a real pain ...

This phone shows only 0.98GB internal storage and Apps & media content used 684MB but still shows Available Space only 2.9MB ??
Also want to know why do this XOLO cheating customers by claiming 2GB intenal memory when they are only giving 0.98GB to actual use ??

IS there any other way to increase my internal storage from 0.97GB to 2.7 or 4GB internal storage for unwavering performance .. I wont mind even if I have to shrink my phone storage avail from 12.70GB to 8-10GB .... Pls guide as my phone is in warranty I really donot want to root it now but still want a concrete solution to my worries - even Extnl SD card can be a great help ...

Umm....

Device identified. Get location says 0(auto).
Set location 2 says:
Security exception: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS.

Disabled permission monitor, then this.
Security exception: Package android does not belong to 2000

What to do?

1|HWPRA-H:/ $ pm set-install-location 2
Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Package android does not belong to 2000
