Android 2.2 (Codename: **Fro**zen **Yo**ghurt) brings a new feature which allows moving apps to the SD card.
|
|
Unfortunately this only works for apps which bring a flag to allow this, i.e. not for the current versions.
|
|
|
|
To enable this globally, activate USB debugging and plug the phone to your computer. Make sure,
|
|
you have the Android SDK installed and `cd`'ed to the `tools/`-dir.
|
|
|
|
Now run
|
|
|
|
sudo ./adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
|
|
|
|
Valid values are:
|
|
|
|
* `0` --- Automatic (app decides, default)
|
|
* `1` --- internal memory preferred
|
|
* `2` --- storage card preferred
|

If you get *insufficient permissions* errors, run `./adb kill-server` and try the above command again.
