Dear Android,

Why we still thinking about store each app in Phone storage not in External 
storage ?

A lot of developers may forgot to set this sample line to make his app be 
transferable from or to External storage , a lot of amazing apps we can't 
download it till we works hard to move some apps to external storage or 
clear a lot of photos or remove some other apps to install the new apps ?

All that headache cause of this line below on app mainfest.xml file :

android:installLocation="preferExternal"


Make the choice for Android OS to move the app automatically to external 
storage *( If Exist and have free space )*, imagine that most of us have 
external storage (16 GB) and still fight with apps which one will be 
removed from Internal storage to be replaced with the new one *( this make 
the competition not fare )*.

I know that android OS have the feature of moving some apps to external 
resource, but this option works for the app that have the line of code 
below, it's worth to be automatic action behind the main option of which 
app to be moved.
