Joe Bowser commented on CB-5920:
--------------------------------
I don't ever remember hearing of this problem until now. But yeah, the reason
I asked for this to be added to JIRA is because I think this should be exposed
to the CLI for the reasons you just mentioned, because Cordova users who don't
know much Android will most likely be using the CLI (even though I don't).

> I created a PR on github suggesting to add 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.
