----------------------------
Hi @infil00p the ramifications of preferExternal are discussed in the link
above.
Having read the ramifications you still think that we should not use
preferExternal, or should turn it into a config option?
"provide additional services when inactive" cordova uses services yes, but not
when the app is in active?
"requires several megabytes" - this is true of every cordova app ive built
> android:installLocation="preferExternal"

> for phones with small amounts of internal storage (512MB and even 1GB,
> android 2.2 and 2.3 and even some 4.0) the user wont be able to install the
> app (or keep it) unless you let them put it on the sdcard instead of the
> internal phone storage. Very few cordova apps are the kind of app which
> shouldn't be on external storage.
