Browse to the folder "ADB+Fastboot+USBDrivers" on the Desktop and click on "USB drivers". (You can download thesej drivers by Click Here) Click OK and Next button. Now the drivers have been installed successfully.

9. Now close the Device manager and press any key in the command prompt.

13. Now type the below commands in the cmd window.

cd desktop

cd android

adb

adb devices

14. Now, check the default install location using these commands.

adb shell pm getInstallLocation (Android < 4.0)

adb shell pm get-install-location (Android 4.x)

This results in a numerical value to stare where the default install location is (o: phone and 2:external)

adb shell pm setInstallLocation (Android < 4.0)

adb shell pm set-install-location (Android 4.x)

15.This sets the default install location to the external storage.
Now, you can check the default install location. (Step-14)
