How to move any Android application to SD card

In my adventures with my rooted OG (Old Grandpa) Droid one of the things that's really been a problem is the limited built-in phone memory.   Android does support moving apps to SD natively, however only if the app developer flagged the app as supporting it.  I have discovered that many apps support running on the SD card that are not flagged as such by the developer and they work fine.  I've also had several apps that will not work on the SD.  If you would like the option to move any apps to SD and you have a rooted device you can use the following information to allow it.


The setInstallLocation command changes the default install location

  0 [auto]: Let system decide the best location
  1 [internal]: Install on internal device storage
  2 [external]: Install on external media

To change the the install location.

#su pm setInstallLocation 2

To check the the install location. 

#pm getInstallLocation
