Home » General » Alex » Android Tip – Free up some internal memory.
Since 2.2 some apps can be moved to external memory (App2SD), but some of them wont allow it. Here is a nice easy way to accomplish this for most of the installed applications using the Android SDK, ADB and your connected device.
1. install the SDK (if you dont know how –> search) 2. make sure that your device is connected (adb devices) 3. open a shell: adb shell 4. update the install location of your device: pm setInstallLocation 2 5. exit the shell: exit 6. now most of your applications can be moved ( Settings->Applications->Manage Applications.)
This trick combined with root access, makes even smaller devices more usable :) Enjoy

I am a full-stack developer. My expertise include:
I love programming, design and know my way around server architecture as well. I would never feel complete, with one of these missing.
I have a broad range of interests, that’s why I constantly dive into new technologies and expand my knowledge where ever required. Technologies are evolving fast and I enjoy using the latest.
Apart from that, I am a peace loving guy who tries to have people around him that think the same. I truly believe in the principle: “If you help someone, someone will help you, when you need it."
