You can install your android apps in SD by using android SDK, connect it to your phone and yada yada whatever yaya… tired of reading these instructions?

Did you know that there’s an easier way? You can do it by installing only an app.

If you have an android phone that doesn’t have a huge internal memory like mine there will come a time that you will have to uninstall some of your beloved applications to make space for a new application. It hurts more if you’ve paid for that app.

Android 2.2 or Froyo supports installing apps to SD card but not all of them. Funny thing is that most large apps cannot be moved to SD. This is no longer a problem for froyo users.

First things first, you need to root your phone. Rooting your phone is as easy as one click, read this article. After you have rooted your phone, install move2sd app, search for move2sd in the android market or scan this QR code to take you directly to move2sd download page.


Install move2sd app. Enable USB debugging. Go to Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging

Enable move2sd app and click next.

Select External then apply.

And viola! All your applications will now be installed in your SD Card.

Important Note: Don’t install widgets and other service apps to you SD, it will have problems if you restart or unmount your SD.
