Help setting default storage

I have a phone running 4.4 kit kat. From what I'm reading online Kit Kat does not offer the option to change your default storage to SD. Does anyone know what versions of Android still do?
 
Gingerbread 2.3 and below still offer the SD option.
Thanks. I tried installing android sdk and setting the default to sd but after it showed on my computer to be set to external storage my phone was still trying to store apps to my phone by default and as I have very little internal memory left it was unable to do so.
I had an older version of android on my previous phone and I constantly ran into the message this app is not compatible with your version of Android, hence the reason I upgraded my phone.
 
Depending on what phone you have, you can root it and use Link2SD to move apps to external storage.
Check the phones section of the forums to see if there is rooting info available for your device-

If root is not available, or you are unwilling to do so, you're unfortunately out of luck.

I don't necessarily want to move apps to external storage but set up my phone to automatically store all downloaded apps to my sd card.
Nervous about rooting but willing to give it a go. Once I root can I then to set the default storage to sd? If so, how do I go about doing so.

If u r rooted, install xposed framework (which is not for beginner, very dangerous for noobs), then download obb to SD card module and enable it and reboot,....that's all just install any app it stores on your external SD card,
