I just rooted my Desire today using Unrevoked and then flashed Leedroid v2.2 Froyo using Rom Manager. After restoring everything with Titanium backup I noticed that the widgets weren't working and in their place "Problem loading gadget" was written. I think it's because the rom come with A2SD+ and the widgets don't work from the SD card. How do I move them back to the internal memory, because I've been at this all day (searching forums and inside the phone itself) and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this. Please help.
It is indeed because the widgets are installed to an SD card. Move them back to the internal storage from Settings > Applications > Manage applications. Tap on the widgets in the list of installed apps and press the "Move to internal storage" button.

With A2SD+ This procedure will move them from SD-Card .android-secure to SD-Card Ext3 Partition, so this will not help.
I have the same problem, it is related to the Titanium-Restore. Remove the widgets from the screen and reposition them and everything is fine.
Thanks for the help. I already figured it out last night, just never bothered updating the thread.
well, it can't be like that to remove and add all of the widgets everytime you reboot. it sounds nuts.
is there any sane way to get it fixed please?
i'd be obliged for this great help.
Thanks in Advance!
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

Apps are visible in the Settings-Applications-Manage Applications-Downloaded section, but there are no icons. Just a grayed out icon with a micro-sd card on it. Showing, what I assume to be, that it is on the SD card, but cannot be launched. The apps are not available via the app drawer.
Ideas?
Help anyone?
Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling them through the Market?
The market won't allow me to install anything. Whether it be a new app or a replacement for these. And starting over is not really a course I am looking to take unless absolutely necessary. Uninstalling and reinstalling 150+ apps does not sound like an entertaining time.
Also if it provides any clue, when in the setting-manage applications area, the sizes of the apps, that usually updates quickly, is forever stuck in the "computing..." phase.
150+ apps? Do you have any storage left? LOL
Sounds like you might have a SD Card problem.
A couple of suggestions -
1. Scan your SD Card (mounted in Windows) for errors. From "My Computer", right-click on the drive and go to Tools. Select the Disk Check.
2. Uninstall the "missing" applications. Go to Settings->SD & Phone Storage and Unmount SD Card. Try to install the applications. If this works, remount the SD Card when you are done. You can use this method to try to install new apps as well.
3. Some people have had luck with deleting the .android_secure folder from the SD Card (this is where Android stores your apps on the SD Card).
If you still can't download any new apps, you might want to go to Settings->Applications->All and clear try to clear the cache (and then the data if needed) and Force Close Market. This may help. If you notice that all of your downloaded apps disappear from the Market, downloading a new app usually fixes that problem for me.

185 actually (just did a quick count). And yes, plenty of storage. 32gb (with only 8gb taken up) sd card, and 200mb left on the internal.

1. Done, and done. No errors. I'm used to external and flash media, so this was one of the first things I did.
2. Unmounting the card gets a force close. I select it like normal, but it gives no confirmation, and after a bit gives me the force close message. Going to have to power off and remove the SD card for this option.
3. Noted, will look into that option shortly.
While I can force close and clear data from the market, the clear cache button does nothing. Trying option 2 now.
What ROM are you using? Is it possible that your launcher, widget, or some other system application is on the SD card?
Also, if you clear the Data, it automatically clears the cache, which is why it is grayed out.
If you have a terminal emulator application or access to adb, you can unmount the SD card from a shell and see if that helps.

Use a file manager to look for one of your apps, which I imagine you moved into the apps2sd "folder" on the sdcard. That should tell you the state of the sd card as well. When apps2sd is used it only moves part of the apk to the sdcard, that's why the system still sees the part not on the sdcard.
Get an apk from market ( except you can't ) to fix the symlinks.
If you do a nandroid restore, the issue will still be there cause you did use the ext partition, in apps2sd.
You do get one chance in market to reload all your missing apks, but if you close market it won't remember the missing apks.

Stock 2.2, rooted, s-off. Using LauncherPro, and no it is not on the SD card. I can navigate it easily and launch any applications from it that are not on the SD card.
Good to know about the data/cache link. Although the cache never acutally gets grayed out. I press the clear data button, confirm the decisions, and it stays in the "recalculating size" (might not be verbatim there) message and never goes away.
Good idea. Although I am going to report that the problem is fixed now, as I took a little more direct route. Steps are below for anyone that has the same problem as I:
Problem: Apps on the SD card are not loading. Visible in the Settings-Manage Applications area, but not unable to actually launch via shortcuts on home screen and do not appear in the app drawer. Unmounting the SD card via the settings gets a force close. Restarts do nothing, clearing the Data/Cache from the market app does nothing. This occurred randomly and has also occurred after apps that were installing/being updated from the market and got stuck in an "install loop", as in they said they were "installing" but never did.
My Solution: Power down, remove SD card, power up, force close market, clear data, power down, install SD card, power up, enjoy.
As stated above unmounting the SD card via terminal or adb might work as well. I cannot confirm as I went the more "direct" route. I thank everyone for their help. This community, quite simple, rules.
Hi all,
Got a HTC Desire running InsertCoin 1.1.1 (CM7 boot) and everything seems to be running smoothly (been on it for ~1wk, upgraded from IC 1.0.8)
To save space on the phone's internal memory, I've moved several apps to SD Card (only the ones that let you move). However I found two problems each time I reboot the phone:
Apps on SD card, lose their icons and no longer appear in the lockscreen
Apps on SD card, which are put into folders lose their icons
To fix #1 I had to re-configure the lockscreen
To fix #2 I had to re-create the folder
Note:
All apps work as normal
Only apps on SD card are affected.
Apps on SD card which are placed directly on screens don't lose their icons
Was wondering if anyone else is having a similar problem, and/or know how to fix this problem.
Thanks!
pyko
ps. also had this same problem with v1.0.8
The apps you install are basically moved to the EXT part of your SD card already as it implements A2SD+ from the start. Moving apps to the SD (the only ones that let you to) simply transfers it to the fat32 of your SD card and defeats the reason for having 1GB EXT partition requirement for Insercoin ROM. Also, it may be the reason for with your icons and lockscreen breaking.
If you concerned about memory issues, it is because Dalvik cache is still saved on the internal and that is the one eating up your memory. You can either move the entire dalvik cache to EXT or selectively choosing which app's dalvik cache goes to the EXT.
Check this link as this was the script made based on Insercoin's selective data to ext transfer. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072895
Original tip here: http://docs.insertcoin-roms.org/master/en-US/misc/free-space-without-data2ext.html
Thanks for the reply!
Just to clarify, to make sure I am understanding correctly... since there is A2SD+ with my CM7 InsertCoin Rom it is actually not a good idea to move apps to SD Card? ie. I should leave them "on phone" (since it is actually on the EXT?)
Yeah leave it on the phone since it will go to the the ext part of the sd anyway. Moving it to SD the normal Android way would just move it to the fat32 side which would be redundant don't you think.

hi folks,
So i chose the wrong SD card handling (the merged kind?) a while ago and after ejecting the card to set up a bigger one, I realise I now can't access the internal storage on the phone.
installed apps work fine
I can remove apps fine (but not reinstall!)
i can sideload apps fine (oddy!)
I cannot access e.g. photos with gallery apps
file browser apps cant access the internal space at all.
I cannot install anything from the play store, it just shows insuffucient space
apps like twitter crash.
whatsapp works (calls and text), but cant download photos sent, or attach photos.
There is loads of space free (14.65gb used of 32gb internal).
I also have an SD card with loads of space now set as portable storage.
I have the original SD card that was in before, but not in phone (still shows in storage manager).
Any ideas please?! Before i reset the phone and start again!
I have rooted it, but not sure what to fiddle with (the problem started before rooting).
nope? ok i guess i'll be wiping and hoping that fixes it!
moving to another phone for a while...
just to be clear, doing a full reset on the phone while rooted with magisk is ok? (unlocked bl). don't want to brick. android 10 up to date.
thanks, if anyone out there?
alright for the record and anyone else suffering this, i figured it out, and is slightly embarrassingly stupid.
if you set up the sd as combined storage, and still have the sd, put it back in and use the migrate data back to internal option which is hidden in the storage dot top right menu. voila.
then you can eject card, and still access the internal storage.
what you do if you've already wiped the old sd, i've no idea! you're maybe stuffed? hopefully wiping phone would fix it??
don't ever set your sd card as merged, use portable (i knew this, was a mistake).
so anyway, phone working again yay!
