** Under Android 4.0.4, the debugging options are under Settings -> Developer Options, not Settings -> Applications
** The correct adb command (at least under Ubuntu) is "set-install-location", not "SetInstallLocation".
** Location 2 is the correct location for internal SDRAM. There's no indication of what location 1 is.
** There were still a lot of applications (especially, but not exclusively, Google apps) which could neither be moved nor uninstalled.
