How To Install Apps Onto Your SD Card (No Root) Android phone

Step 1: Getting Ready to Change Installation Location

 

1. Get the Google Android SDK
     - Unzip the file and place the folder onto your desktop or anywhere that can be easily accessed.
     - find the platform tools folder (default, it should be : adt-bundle/sdk)

2. Find cmd/terminal (for mac)
     - (for mac users) go to [System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Services]
        and then check the box [New Terminal At Folder]

3. Go onto your Android phone and select USB debugging
     - Go to [System settings > Developer Options] and select USB Debugging (if the option is grayed out, unplug your phone first)


Step 2: Using adb

 

1. Windows
    - Open the folder called " platform-tools"
    - shift+right-click anywhere inside the folder and choose [Open Command Window Here]
   
    Mac
   - right-click the folder called "platform-tools" and choose [New Terminal At Folder]

2. Enter in the following

For Windows :
       adb devices
       adb shell pm set-install-location 2
       adb shell pm get-install-location


For Mac : (note - there is a period before the slashes)
       ./adb devices
       ./adb shell pm set-install-location 2
       ./adb shell pm get-install-location


3. Check if you did it right
   - if you did it right, the last output should say: 2 [external]

If you did it right, CONGRATS! 

Your phone will now install your apps to your SD Card by default! 

Have fun now!

VMware CPU and Memory Reservations: Fixing Insufficient resources to satisfy configured failover level for HA

This is a good one. The error came from trying to power on a VM in our VMware cluster and we would get these errors: “Insufficient resources to satisfy configured failover level for HA” And this alert on our cluster “Insufficient resources to satisfy HA failover level on cluster vmCluster in vmTST” Our way of thinking was we had to power one off to power another one on. But that didn’t work. Here we is the actual solution. (p.s. Great VMware HA education for me on this one!) PROBLEM SOURCE: VMware HA is turned on and you are violating constraints VMware HA is turned on, and you have i...
