app2sd - How do I find out if an app can be moved to the SD card before I install it?


Is there a way I can do this? Too many times I install an app, only to uninstall it, because it can't be moved to SD.



Answer



if your phone is rooted you can use link2sd :


play store link


Home page


but you'll have to partition your SD card first using mini tool partition wizard


and here's the Tutorial on how to partition your SD card


This Can move immovable and -of course- movable apps more efficiently than app2sd and saves more space because normal moving moves a small part of the app to SD card ,while Link2SD moves a big part of the app(but not all of it(user experience))


If your phone is not rooted:



1.Market apps : you can't know because market downloads apps and installs them instantly.


2.apps which you have their APK you may find out by looking in the manifest.xml file inside the APK in android:installLocation="auto" as @Rafael said.
