Now that a few people have put froyo on there desire, is there an option to install apps on the sd or do you still apps2sd?
thanks
Froyo doesn't like ext partitions so do not install Apps2SD. You will need to format your SD card as FAT32. Just follow the guide for whichever custom Froyo ROM you want to flash and the setup should be explained in more detail.
There will be option to install Apps2SD in Menu > Settings > Applications. Select the app and there should be an available option below to install the app to the sd card.
OR use titanium backup... start the app, select backup/restore, long press on the app you want to move and then select move to SD card... and done!!! Thats how I have been doing it with no problems.
And the app doesn't have to be enabled by the Dev to move to SD card this way!!

Thank you both for the replies.
So which out of the 2 ways would be best to go to froyo from 2.1 using a2sd without looseing any apps?
I presume I can format the SD card after I have moved them to the SD?
Final question, how would I install a new app to the SD if I get it from the market?

Well if you do a backup of your programs via titanium back, the restore them when on froyo, and then transfer to SD using titanium it will all work fine... that's how I did it with no issues... ended up donating to the app ad its awesome!!!

Currently there aren't any with no problems at all... I'm using RichardTrip's Defrost rom and its brilliant... some people have issues with the Bluetooth and also the light sensor doesn't work, but I don't use either and everything else works fine for me

Nope, there is not a Froyo ROM that is 100% fully functional (yet).

Thanks. This method transfers the existing apps to the SD, but how will be able to install new apps to the SD?
Will I have to keep using this method?
Lastly have developers started updating there apps to make them froyo compatible?

Hi all
I have a new desire which is rooted. For now, I'm only interested in adding app2sd. Is there any way to do that without installing a whole rom?
Thanks in advance!

If you're talking about Froyo's app2sd, I guess it isn't.
If you wanted to add old school A2SD, it's possible, check this site for example:

do it the simple way,
Intsall AmonRA recovery on your desire
download rom manager to your phone from market, use it to format your SD card 512mb (will make ext2), 128 swap and rest fat32 (it will show u options)
Then boot into recovery and convert ext2 to ext3.
then you will need a rom that supports old apps2sd
Thats it.
Oh if you have root download titanium back up and back up apps and use mybackup for sms,mms,bookmarks,call history. once these are restored phone will be same as before
Just installed both new Leedroid an pinky roms and am having a terrible time with low on space warnings, when I didn't use to with same apps. Two questions
1. I installed with rom manager and ticked the wipe option, is there anything else I need to check or wipe etc
2. Is there a way to move apps to sd where the option doesn't exist in the standard application manager?
Cheers

Format card to fat32 on pc,install Rom manager to desire from market.use partition card tab in Rom manager.
Could tho depend on type of card tho

Cheers for the response, but it would mean wiping card, which is a problem for me. Any other answers?

If you mean it's greyed out, try this solution:

worked flawlessly for me
Looks good, a little drastic though. May give it a try when I get back to a pc in a few days. Was hoping for something I could try in the field. .... literally!

In the thread linked above, there was something to try with the terminal emulator for rooted phones, that might be of use to you?

For some reason, apps like angry birds, 2 player reactor, and the modified flash for hulu don't install unless I unmount my sd card first. Otherwise I get the application not installed message. Any advice?

Just install it with the SD unmounted. Then from there under the applications tab you can move to SD if it is available. If it isn't then you will have to go with apps to sd.
The problem is some apk files are on my sd card, like the flash one which I now can't install

Hi,
i have the same issue with Stock Rom 2.2.1 (1.72.405.3) installing some apps: Some of them (i think mostly protected apps) can't be installed while SD-Card is mounted. Even when i am Installing from Google Market it doesn't work. When i unmount the card and try again it works.
Having a rooted (S-Off) Desire HD with 2.2.1 (1.72.405.3)
Can't find any workaround!
hope you can help me!
Well, my only fix was to flash another rom. Most custom roms I've ran don't have the problem

I want to switch back to CM7 from Oxygen. Is it a good idea to move all my apps back to the phone before switching, so they're not all floating around on the SD card after I switch? I'm not going to wipe the SD card.

Installed apps? If you change ROM to a totally different one, full wipe is required, which means all your apps will disappear. If you dont want to install all your apk-s copy them into the .zip. I keep all the apps in a folder on the SD-card to install after ROM- change.
Use Titaium Backup you can find it in the market(free app) but with the Pro version restoring your apps is MUCH easier
I'm not talking about restoring apps after installing a new rom (although I appreciate the help on that too). I just don't want the apps that I've transferred to the SD card to be left there.

It won't be a bad idea what you wanna do.
Swiftkeyed from ICS with Transparent XDA App
Or maybe I'll just uninstall them all...

I have read somewhere that you can delete all folders from the SD except the ones you have copied (photos, music, etc.)
Hey,
I am using the stock HTC ROM for now. It is unlocked via HTCdev and rooted. I need more storage space on my phone. Going through the forums I see that I can use Link2SD and/or App2SD.
What are the differences between these... and which one is preferable? I don't have a card reader, will that be a problem?

Link2sd has a GUI it means its an app and it is easy to move apps and do many other things..
Link2sd is prefered when you have class 6 or less card. Data2sd is prefered when you have a fast card.
Well you can make a partition without card reader but just hope it doesnt give errors.
I personally partitioned my SD Card using CWM-recovery. I use S2E. You can try that out too, although the ones suggested above will also do the job well.

Install Titanium Backup - the pro version is well worth the money - and choose 'More' from the menu then ''Integrate sys Dalvik Cache into ROM' also choose 'Clean up the Dalvik Cache'. This could increase available memory by quite a bit.
On Link2SD on the menu choose 'More' and then 'Link dalvik-cache files' - this will free up even more.
Then do a reboot.

My bad..
I finally set up link2sd. Why people do it from the PC, I'll never know... I did it through the CWM recovery and it took me about 3 minutes =D
