Example: how to install APK to a USB flash drive on Hisense 2.2 STB:
Sam first tries to use:
Pm setInstallLocation 2
It is useless to install it later.

Later, I tried the following:

Choose "other settings"> "Storage Device"> "specify the default storage device" and select "USB flash drive" as the default storage device.

# Pm install -S xxxx.apk

Then you can succeed.
