INSTALL APPS TO THE EXTERNAL SD CARD BY DEFAULT ON ANDROID KITKAT 4.4.x

1. Enable Developer Mode (http://androiddjisamsoe.blogspot.co.id/2016/01/enable-developers-options-in-android.html) and connect your device via usb cable.

2. Enable USB Debugging (http://androiddjisamsoe.blogspot.co.id/2016/01/enable-usb-debugging-on-android-kitkat.html)

3. Install the Android SDK
You’ll need to download and install Google’s Android SDK on your computer. If you don’t already have Oracle’s Java JDK installed on your computer, you’ll have to download and install it before installing the Android SDK.
After you’ve installed both the JDK and Android SDK, launch the SDK Manager from your Start menu.

(or you can download this tools move_to_sd.zip , extract and goto step 6)

4. The ADB utility isn’t installed by default. It’s included in the Android SDK Platform-tools package – select this package and click the Install button to download and install it.

After the process completes, connect your Android device to your computer with its included USB cable. Windows should locate the device and install the appropriate drivers automatically. If it doesn’t, you may have to download and install the appropriate drivers from your Android device’s manufacturer. Do not mount the device after connecting it – just plug it in.

5. Using ADB
Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to the android-sdk\platform-tools folder. On Windows, you’ll find this folder at C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-toolsby default. Check C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools if you’re using a 32-bit version of Windows.

Launch a Command Prompt window in this folder by pressing and holding the Shift button, right-clicking in the folder, and selecting Open command window here.

6. Run the adb devices command and you should see your connected Android device.

7. Run the following command to set the default install location to your SD card:
adb shell pm set-Install-Location 2
image
If you want to revert this change later and install apps to the internal storage by default, run this command:
adb shell pm set-Install-Location 0
0 represents auto, 1 represents your device’s internal storage, 2 represents the external storage.

8. To check, use this following command
adb shell pm get-Install-Location
