Thank you in advance!

But then I need to root? Why should I when I'm supposed to to do it "out of the box" with Android 2.2?

You can only install apps to the SD card that the developers allow you to. You can check each app manually in the 'Manage Applications' screen or just let Android do it for you when it needs more space.
Dont listen to them they know nothing
You need Android SDK installed at your PC , then install lastest (2.2) version of adb, and also usb drivers (if you dont have), then connect phone in debugging mode, open cmd , in cmd go to "tools" folder where you installed SDK and write command "adb shell pm setinstallLocation 2" (without "")
after this every app will be installed on SD card and also you will be able to transfer apps you have now
And this works for official HTC ROM that was released this weekend - without root?
I don't wanna mess with my guarantee etc..
Don't understand why this isn't set by default, or not available to change this in the settings on the phone?

yes it does, and no it does not require root
now i realize that my "guide" is too complicated, there is better guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7460033
there is some guy talking something about losing waranty.. so be careful
Is there a way of batch-installing apk files that I have on my SD from on the phone itself using an app/tool e.g. Titanium Backup, MyBackup Pro etc? I've read through TiBackup's support but it seems to batch-install only apps that you'd have saved prior. I however have downloaded news apps that I haven't installed before and there're so many of them I don't want to install individually...

Sorry... I have tryed with official froyo without root but with bootloader 0.92 the adb isn't working.
This procedure only works with the froyo when the bootloader is on the 0.8x or later version.
Okay, thanx
So now we have to wait for apps like Spotify, XDA etc to update their software - so we can move apps to SD?
Hope that they will do it quick.
Is there any apps in market that has this option available? Just want to test it

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742379&highlight=google+earth
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?

I have uninstalled it with Titanium Backup (Youtube.apk disappears from /system/app), rebooted, tried to install but has gotten "Installation unsuccessful" instead. Upon rebooting Youtube.apk magically re-appears.
ROM: OpenDesire
same here, running miui.
It's the same issue that affected Maps, etc. Updated fine on RCMixHD btw, installed over the top of the stock app via the Market

Installing over stock app doesn't work on OpenDesire, neither does uninstalling and rebooting.

Any ideas what to do besides waiting for AdamG to update OpenDesire?
Did anybody try "adb push" the app?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
please explain in steps how to do that! id be very grateful
Okay I wiped my phone and installed DeFroST instead. Had not used DeFroST for a long time.
and now it works?
Adb is kinda long try this first see if it works, replace the YouTube apk in gapps(system/app directory) with the new YouTube apk and flash gapps(with the new YouTube).

just S-OFF your device, which enables REAL write access to your system and you can uninstall. with S-ON, you cannot write to /system and other partitions - the SPL denies that.
Use titanium backup to delete it, reboot your phone then install it.

Ganjdroid, he already did that and it didn't work for him :/
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
With Titanium backup it only works for S-OFF phones for all other :
reboot to recovery
mount system partition
plug in to usb
open terminal and wirte:
adb shell
push C://Downloads/Youtube.apk /system/app/
or use Android Commander Instead.
I have a rooted phone running the GingerVillain ROM. It has some programs I don't want like Mail, Gmail and News And Weather.
I followed the steps to remove the programs with Root Explorer. I.E. Going into System/Apps and mounting R/W. long press on the APK and delete. Boom, program gone..... nope! I went into my menu and it is still there. Even worse, it is still works!
I rebooted the phone and the APK files were there again!
Anybody seen this kind of strange activity before?
If you are still S-ON, it won't work. You need to be S-OFF to delete files from the system partition while the phone is up & running.
I've heard of that. How would I know if I'm S-OFF? If I'm not then how can i set my phone to S-OFF?
Strangely it appears that the file deletes. It only reappears after reboot. I would have thought it wouldn't have deleted at all if it wasn't working correctly.
How to know that? Well, it was just discussed, you're not S-OFF, because you can't delete files from the system partition (it disappears, but it's still there).
And also if you did not do the S-OFF procedure, it won't be S-OFF'd.
Here's the guide how to do it: S-OFF Tutorial

Another way to find out S-ON/OFF is to look into your H-BOOT by turning off your phone, hold down the volume down and switching on. The first line will tell you what it is set to.

Unless you've done the s-off procedure you won't be s-off
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
I found the s-off procedure using alpharev bootable CD as quick and easy as rooting (once I was running a custom rom).
Now I have zapped unwanted apps directly whilst running and also flashed hboot giving me more free memory and a very responsive phone.

And if you don't want to go s-off just delete the files in the Rom zip file before you flash it.

You need to dark tremors apps 2 SD in forums to transfer apps over to SD, also you should root your phone with revoulution or what ever It's called not the one you rooted it with

I'm not exactly sure what the problem is and even why you're not able to uninstall, but i would suggest trying the setInstallLocation trick before you try app2sd.

This is Xperia Play forums, Revolutionary is only for HTCs
To OP:
We need more info. But I'm going to assume you want to uninstall system apps. You can't do this through the normal applications menu, you'll need an ap like Titanium Backup. For a2sd you'll need to either use the pm setInstallLocation trick or use an app like DroidSail Super a2sd from the Google Play store
if i do titanium backup of my phone that is S-OFF rooted running android 2.2 and then restore that onto a android 2.4 G2 that has not been rooted. will that transfer my apps to the new phone or not? i'm not sure how that works so i'm asking. or would i have to do a clockwork backup? sorry, a bit noobish here regarding that aspect. basically i'd like to transfer some of the apps that are installed on the phone to another phone, but the new phone is not rooted. not sure if it has S-OFF or not, if that even plays any role anymore.
thanks guys.
Don't know of android 2.4, but that won't matter, transferring those apps wouldn't work as you won't be able to run tb on the non rooted phone to do the restore, you also couldn't flash a .zip (if you made one) to the non rooted phone with stock recovery.
You could pull some of those .apks from the old phone and push them with adb or simply use a file manager to download, but they would have to be compatible versions that don't require root access. Even then it would only transfer the apps, nodata , so it would be the same as to download them from the market

possible. May have strange behaviors with some apps if the android versions are different.
