After many tribulations i have eventually managed to instal stock froyo on my debranded desire and i have also introduced the green file mod to make all my apps install to the sd card by default.
My question is which apps can happily remain on my sd card and which really need to stay on my phone memory?
Am i correct in assuming that games can work happily from my card?
Is it practical to run google maps and google earth for instance, from the card.
Ideally i would like some informed opinion as to the type of apps which can go to the storage card and the types which need to remain on the phone memory to function correctly.
Thanks in advance for any help.
P.S. Really love froyo.
I'm no expert about this but as far is I am aware u should install any widget apps and apps that auto start on power up should be installed to phone. All others are fine on SD. I may be wrong though.
How do I do the green file mod to install apps to sd?
I've used search but cant find it. Even using google.

I've read most of the guides down here and other forums and how to install apps on the sd card, but I'm confused with one thing, having the AP2SD on the ROM automatically does it? or having just the ext03 partition? I tried every method i read but there is something im doing wrong as apps are still installing on the phone (some apps on SD and some on phone), i even tried the modInstall app and chose the SD card but I still can't get it, I know im doing something wrong or missing some step please help me
you need both
you need o have a rooted rom with AP2SD included if not AP2SD installed a partion ext 3
Download gscript lite from the market place the attaced script in the in the gscript folder in the gscript menu add script and see what it says
sorry forgot to upload unzip and use the file inside
thanks ill try it now
btw im using LeeDroid latest ROM and latest radio version with bootloader 0.80
so you just need to set up the ext3
•Froyo A2SD mod install location is included in the rom doent that meet your requirements
havent used it myself didnt know it existed till i checked the LeeDroid rom

it is working, but is there a reason why some apps would not install on the SD card?
thanks for the help <3
it does seem to be working i dont get the stderr messages not sure what they mean
what apps arent installing to your sd remember your imternal phone storage will decrease slighty i have about 40 apps installed and mine is down to 88mb
only: Bluetooth File Transfer, Facebook, Papertoss
but no big deal thanks for the help with the script it's was excellent!
paper toss i actually went into the settings/ applications/ manage applications /downloaded and had the option on the phone to move it to sd which i did
Hi everybody, just thought id mention that if your using a rooted froyo 2.2 Rom, you not longer need to use apps2sd or make a partition on you memory card. Instead use setinstallloctaion.apk this then installs all your apps to card without the need to partition your sdcard. works great for me.

well I am runnig froyo and i installed SDMove which has "Apparently" moved apps to the SD that had gone to the internal memory
But:
If you use the FroYo APP2SD method and moved your apps manually to the sdcard, will you be able to use them when you connected your phone to the PC in "Disk Drive" mode?
I tired try amythings but not work, my HTC desire with android 2.2 and HBOOT 0.92, my internal memory full, how can move it to SD crad or make internal memory more size?
and if I have to root my phone I dont like to do downgrade.
please I need help, and if u can step by step because Im new here, some word I didnt understand about phones. thanks.
You can't until you root the phone so you've got to wait for unrEVOked 3.2.x to be released. Once rooted you can run a custom ROM with the old A2SD which moves everything to the SD card
Settings applications manage applications click on app then move to SD
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Very few allow it, so the only way of moving everything is to root to a custom ROM allowing A2SD for ALL apps
thanks, so I have to wait until root for 0.92 come out .. do u know when will come out, I hope its easy ..
unrEVOked 3.2.x is in testing and will be out soon. Then it's just a case of run it and plug your phone in...simples!!
I did the this:
h**p://androinica.com/2010/08/03/how-to-install-apps-to-the-sd-card-by-default-on-android-2-2-froyo
(replace ** with tt ; sorry, I couldn't post links)
After that, all new applications installed by default to the SD card. Moreover, I could move most apps already installed to SD card (settings - applications - manage applications - click app - move to SD card).
My Desire is running Android 2.2 and is not rooted or customized (rom)
yes I did that way .. but its not move all app, just 50% or 30% from one app, but its better then before .. thanks

Actually, it does move all the app.
What it doesn't do is move dalvik-cache (you need legacy A2SD+ for this) or anything the app puts into /data/data (which no form of A2SD does).

Hi guys, I used to mod my old G1 all the time, never had a need to on the Desire until now, I'm running out of room every day!
I have a rooted Desire with rooted stock ROM, I'm wanting to do apps2sd old style (not the google way!)
What's the best way to go about this?
I have a 16Gb card in the phone but I don't want to lose any apps or settings I already have installed (I have backed my SD card up to my PC so I can put the 3 partitions on)
Once I have set the 3 partitions, what do I install to enable Apps2SD and where from?
any help appreciated
Anyone?
Maff, from my Tab
I'm in the same boat, in addition to what "mmace" has asked, is it actually possible to use app2sd on stock roms once rooted, and also, for those that are using apps2sd, is it possible to unmount your card and use it as a storage device on your pc, or will that screw everything up...
Hey people, I'm experiencing some problem with moving Apps to my SD card.
I'm quite a lazy bump and writing this topic probably takes more time than redownloading all of my stuff But I'm stubborn and I want to know how this works.
The reason I want to move stuff to my SD card is the fact I ****ed some stuff up and I want to install a stock rom
I was installing the new system update via this GUIDE, thanks fly out to hamdir
Unfortunately, something went wrong (check it out here), because I had preinstalled apps removed, and by-passing the problem it caused didn't work out well...
So now I want to install a stock rom so the preinstalled stuff will be there again, and I will be able to update it properly.
------------------------
So, the actual question.
Because I want to have all my applications on my SD card anyway, I started moving it through Manage Applications.
For some applications (apps I surely installed myself), I cant select the ''Move to SD" option, while if they already were on my SD card it would say Move to phone - which it doesnt.
Any idea on why I can't? I maked sure they werent running
Because some apps don't work properly if you run them from t the sd card. You'd be better off looking at an app called titanium backup for what you are trying to do.
Sent from my performance enhanced Desire HD
To use titaniumbackup I will need root acces which I mysteriously lost (check the link I gave, hope someone could still assist me there a little..!)
It would seem weird to me that compatability with the SD card is the issue because some of my simple games I can't move either.
For example: Armored Strike. Is there anyone who has this on his phone that wants to check if he is able to move it to SD card?
Thanks
Hi All,
I have a HTC desire w/ Android 4.2. One of the BIG problems with this phone is that the ROM only has 512MB and most of the space is token by the OS and other services.
Also many Apps are installed on the ROM and user cannot move them to the SD card.
Recently I was able to move most of my apps from the phone into the SD card (You just need to download the SDK and execute 2 simple steps having the Phone connected to the PC), Let me know if you need deeper details to do so.
Anyway, this is better but not the best solution since other Apps (native Apps) cannot be moved, and looks like that the other Apps that now I can move to the SD card are not completely moved to the DS card ( some data is kept on the ROM)
Does anyone know how to move the Apps totally into the SD card without rooting the phone?
rooting looks like is very hard, I couldn't find the programs that people use to mention to perform the root!
Thanks!
s-off and rooting is the only guaranteed way to get around memory limits.
it's not that hard, just need to slow down and read a lot. there are guides for everything.
i recommend to start here
And after you s-off with the help of the guide eddiehk mentioned above, follow this guide :

There's no point moving apps to SD because it will fill up anyway.

Best way to gain more space will be use some ROM without any script.
Create ext partition on SD card and then use CronMod INIT2EXT script.
This way you can have even 1GB of internal storage. Nice and clean.
All you have to remember to obtain SD card with good class, best will be 10.

But a rom will have a script already no need to change scripts.
