[Help] Apps on SD Card

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 don't use Virtuous so I can't help with most of your problems, but for the mounted SD card thing, they mean you need to have the card mounted to your phone (i.e., not mounted to the computer). When your SD card is mounted to your computer, the phone has no access to it.
For no internet, did you make sure your APN settings are correct for your carrier?
As far as the overall performance, did you wipe data and cache when you flashed the ROM?

I have been running virtuous since it has been available, and I'm running the lastest now. are you sure you did a clean, wipe? Because all of those problems are strange and I don't have them. With screen off profiles, you cannot set them at the lowest setting and make the min and Max the same. Make the slightly different intervals. For more problems, just check out the actual thread for the rom, and you will find answers.

[Q] SD Card inaccessible

So periodically my phone loses the ability to access the SD Card.
Can't play media... Ringtone's revert to default... Apps that use it like pandora stop working...
Only way I know to fix it is to reboot. (Or you can plug into a computer if you're near one, mount the SD card and unmount it)
WTF...
I've tried formatting the SD Card. It's the stock card that came with the Epic.
Any ideas?

Mabe the contacts are dirty or dirt got into the phone. Try an air sprayer on the phone and use something slightly abrasive on the sd card contacts.

Indeed, that does sound like bad/loose contacts.

I just got my Epic today and I haven't rooted it yet. I've installed the drivers on my PC and I'm able to browse the root directory, but I don't see a way to get to the SD card. Do I have to root to do this? I don't think I had to on my EVO (but it is rooted). I just want to be able to put ringtones, wallpapers and then some files so that I can root it later.
Any help appreciated.

Nope...just install Samsung drivers on your computer and it will appear as another storage drive.
Do you BONSAI?

Ah. Thanks. I figured it out after I typed it.
I used to BONSAI on the WM6.5 Diamond, but never used it on Android. Didn't know it was available.[Looks like you might be talking about a game... I misunderstood. There used to be a total backup app/scripts for WM that would allow you to reset all your apps/data on your phone after a flash and it was called BONSAI.]
Now I'm just trying to figure out how to get my PC to recognize that I'm connected w/USB debugging enabled. I run run.bat and keep getting told that I'm not connected. Silly PC.

[Q] 2.3.5 RUU update - SD Card Problems

Okay, I updated to 2.3.5 europe just last week using the RUU extracted installer. All was well and lovely until two days ago.
My SD card has gone crazy. As soon as I unmount and remount the SD card, the phone reads the SD card in a really weird way. The app drawer shows only a few apps that are installed. Majority of apps that I had on the SD card have now vanished - but are still installed because my internal memory is the same - and they still appear in applications list. It says it doesn't exist?
I've rebooted my phone, hard reset, factory reset, format SD card.. everything you can name, I've TRIED IT. Every time I reboot the phone it happens. apps disappear into a black hole. Also, I've reinstalled all apps thrice and cba to do it again! It says "failed to move application" for most apps at first when I try to move them with the App2SD app.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Should I revert back to my old ROM?
Is there a way to fix this? My phone is S-ON, no root.
EDIT: Now I cannot even unmount the SD card...

I had a MAJOR problem where the phone stopped recognizing the SD card. It would literally say unavailable and wouldn't recognize ANY cards at all.

Have you taken out the SD-card and put it back again? Sometimes the phone gets bad connection to the card and "exercising" it may help.

I've tried everything, even changed back from Sandisk to my samsung SD card. Same problem, it keeps rebooting at times and eventually stops and works perfectly.
Really REALLY annoying. It must be the ROM.

Just use Jik's salsa ROM, it runs really smoothly, frees up memory via link2sd and has new lock screen.
Then install the v6 supercharger and battery calibrator for a really great experience with this phone.
Get an XTC Clip and become S-Off, it's great.

[Q] Phone reboots when put into disk drive mode

Hi there, my phone reboots everytime i put it into disk drive mode. Are the files needed stored on sd card or something? It just goes into the custom splash screen and loads up again :S
Edit: Seems like the custom sense skin is stored on the SD card therefore making it crash. When i mount to charge only again and try to change skin it force closes and comes back with the skin i was using before mounting as disk drive.

same thing happened to me... you use a skin that is located on sd card, you need to move it on your phone so you can connect storage... also make sure launcher and such stuff that is necessary for the phone working properly is installed on phone memory and not on sd card...

How do i make sure it is on the SD Card? I have root explorer but im not sure where the file(s) go.

menu/settings/applications/manage and there you choose app, and move to phone memory, if it is not already on it ...
