Android, default install location does not have any effect

I have Just5 Spacer 2 phone running Android 4.4.2 and since I can not root it (the only application I found was supposed to support it was SRS Root, but I only managed to get partial root through it) I thought I'd at least be able to set default install location for applications to external storage, but apparently, despite the fact that adb shows those changes I made, phone continues to install to internal storage.

[dainis@arch platform-tools]$ ./adb shell pm set-install-location 2
[dainis@arch platform-tools]$ ./adb shell pm get-install-location  
2[external]

Any suggestions?

Re: Android, default install location does not have any effect

By digging deeper and deeper I found a few posts/pages somewhere (didn't save sources for some reason) mentioning that this stopped working somewhere at around Gingerbread.

Those who know - is that true?
