After installing for example Tajm widget from market, it automatically installs to SD card, it is working ok, but after connecting phone with USB as removable disk drive, widget disappears... after trying to move it to phone memory it disappears again...
the question is.. how to make it work on not rooted, stock 2.2
thanks!!
Youll always have to:
- install widget
- move to phone
- restart phone
- everything is fine.
Of course widgets dont work from SD (if u connect the device as a disk drive), thats why widgets (as well as Apps that include widgets) shouldnt be installed on the SD...
i'll try! thank you!

Getting mighty hacked off with my desire.
Ok so I rooted my phone and have a custom Tom installed. Defrosts latest helping.
Every time I set Widgets or install certain apps they dissapear after a reboot.
Any idea what's going on and should I just unroot back to stock and start again?
Is the widget/app on the SD card? This will happen with some so they need to stay on the phone memory (so A2SD+ comes in handy)
Apparently the rom had a2sd included???
I will look to download it and try again. Thanks for the reply
Hi,
(First of all, excuse my english and my...noobness (?))
I have rooted my desire then installed oepndesire 4.0.36.
I had the same problem: all your applications must be installed in your sdcard otherwise they won't be there after reboot (with OD+cyanogen mod you've got an option to make it automatic).[EDIT]=>apps2sd indeed
But, personnaly, i still have a problem with applications with widgets:
i have 3 widget/icons (newsrob, juice potter...and facebook (sorry )):
These 3 apps were installed on sdcard directly, then i've installed their widget, but when i reboot the phone, widgets/icons have disappeared from screens and i can't find them anymore in my widget list; i just can make a shortcut toward the app, not the widget.
Could somone help me with this?
Thank you
[EDIT2]: It seems to work when i've reinstalled the apps/widgets after desactivating a2sd
Ok.. I have myns rom installed, and to my knowledge apps2sd turned on which means anything i install goes to the SD card. Now i had to remove my sd card and place another one in there, then i took that one out and put mine back in.
None of my apps are on the phone anymore? Its liks it lost all my settings.
Do i have to reenable something when i put my card back in?
I thought it was supposed to all be back normal
Also, when i goto manage applications, i see the list of the apps i had installed.
however when i goto my app drawer.. none of them are there
also my settings such as launcher / wallpaper are all gone lol
weird
I had to test another SD card so i borrowed my girlfriends Wildfire... (oh-o..)
It's rooted & last WildPuzzleRom, I turned it off, replaced the SD card and restarted it. Then I put back the original SD card when i was done and restarted it again thiniking that the apps will re-initiate.
Now most of her apps are missing except basic Sense ones. Most troublesome is that the market app is gone to so i can't install any new apps or (re)install Titanium to backup her data (mostly sms) before reflashing it all.
When looking in the "native" app mangager i can see the apps installed and the size of their data folders but the program size is 0.00kb
Please help
1: Can i force restart/remount/rescan of apps2sd apps?
2: can i force an (re)installation of titanium without having access to market/astro or any file manager?
3: Can i somehow backup her SMS etc in any other way?
Pics etc are ok thank g*d since they are on the FAT32 partition but if i don't get the rest fixed there will be most unpleasant consequences for me, i trully beg of your support or she will have me neutered!
Check the apps2sd commands page in the first instance. I'm mobile at the moment so can't help much.

Hi everyone,
In panic mode right now...
I downloaded an app that helps you find all your apps that can be moved to the sd card. So it found 150 or so. After an hour of manually moving each one, I had over 400mb of free internal space and only like 40 apps left on the main phone storage. Awesome... but then this morning I noticed that things were running real slow... so I rebooted my phone. When it came back up I noticed some of my home screen shortcuts had become generic android icons. I went to my launcher & lots of apps were missing. I have a LOT of apps so I can't quite confirm yet whether its all the apps I moved to sd but it seems that way.
When I go to the market I see apps that I had yesterday as not installed. I have astro but I'm not quite sure what folder to look in to see if the apps are all still there, just not being seen by the android system maybe?
I've been driving all morning so I haven't gotten to research this much yet. Just rebooted a couple times hoping to fix it but no luck yet.
Any help is majorly appreciated. As soon as I'm at a computer ill be working on this all day. Freakin disaster!

update to my question
so now that i'm in to work i can mess with this... quick update...
when i go to manage applications and go to "on SD card" i get a big list of apps that have the names like "cn.miren.browser" instead of Miren Browser and "com.alphonso.pulse" instead of Pulse which is kinda normal except usually they then refresh with the regular name and the size listed underneath. well it's been sitting here for 5 minutes now and hasn't change and it still says "Computing..." under each one and instead of the normal icons, its sort of a grayed out generic Android icon with an SD in the bottom right corner of the icon.
so clearly it still knows that these apps are there. it just maybe can't access them? i dont know. could it be the sd card? this is the original 8gb sd card that came with the g2...
any thoughts?
???
so i found out that the sd card had some errors in the file system. so i let windows fix the errors. no help (although my phone boots WAAAAAYYYYYY faster now).
so then i found that i have an extra 8gb microsd laying around (which also happened to be a better, class 6 one too). so i cleared it off and copied over alllll the files to it. booted up. STILL NO GO.
anyone have any ideas here? i'm really running out of ideas here.
when i boot, everything runs great, but all my apps that are installed to sd are gone. also it never says "preparing sd card" in the status bar when booting. then if i go to manage applications it never finishes "computing" the size of apps. if i go to "on sd" it shows all my apps, but says computing, and i can't access them, uninstall them, move them, etc. i'm totally out of ideas here and i really don't want to have to do a system restore.
anyone?
think im having the same problem . has ur market gone too?
fix?
ok so i ended up getting mine fixed using these steps that someone from a company that makes an apps2sd app sent me... the only difference i had to do was since my phone also wouldn't recognize my pc, i had to pop the sd card into my pc directly to delete the .android_secure folder... i don't want to mess up your phone or anything so make sure to read around a bit more before trying this, but this is what worked for me. after i started adding all my apps back one by one i've been fine ever since.:
"I guess the problem is ".android_secure" is not recognized by Android.
Would you try the following steps (I am not sure if it works)?
1. mount phone with PC
2. backup all files under .android_secure
3. delete .android_secure directory
4. unmount
5. try to move an app (any app) to SD card (it forces Android to
create .android_secure on SD)
6. mount phone with PC
7. restore all backuped .android_secure/* files to .android_secure
8. unmount => check if it recognized the apps that you moved to the SD card"
I have a small problem i installed font installer from the market and now after uninstalling the keyboard is stuck on the font that was last installed by the app. I have gone through the root of my sd to find the apk from which the keyboard is installed and cannot for the life of me find it. I thought maybe if i could find it wiping cache and data on that apk would remove it. If there is anyone out there that may be able to help i would greatly appreciate it.
As seen in pic its only the keyboard. Also kote that swype keyboard and gingerbread keyboard are both the same as the system font for some reason its only this keyboard and that is it.

Flash your last back up from cwm?
Or try to install the app again and set it to the default font then uninstall it.
In the future use the built in flipfont.

Hey there everyone. Here is the story in list format.
- Got first Galaxy S2 (Tmobile)
- after a few days rooted the phone using odin
- uninstalled bloatware via titanium back up pro
- installed a few apps(fb, twitter, swift key x, mobli, two different font changers)
- everything was running smoothly until i actually installed a font and the app prompted for a reboot.
- i reboot and the booting process freezes at the bootloader logo (tried countless times)
- i enter recovery mode to wipe phone.
- wipe phone.
- same issue.
- i thought then that the phone had some sort of issue in itself.
- i take the phone to tmobile a few days later and tell em some bs.
- get my new phone.
- root it again same way.
- uninstall all the bloatware i want gone and install all the apps i want.
- again SAME thing happens when i install this font changing program.
the program downloads previews for 146ish fonts. you select one. it actually downloads it and reassigns the default font with the font you download and after a reboot it should work.
except i get a frozen bootloader screen. so this time around i am convinced of the app somehow messing with the bootloader settings (etc...)
soooo...i decide to flash "SGH-T989 UVKID // Insecure // Root // Busybox" by bubby323.
odin says its successful, but still same freezing issue at bootloader.
help please.
Your problem is with the ROM. Boot into recovery, mount USB, put the ROM on your SD card and flash it from recovery.
Also, stop using that app

i do not have an external sd card, so is there any other method? i can always go and purchase one tomorrow. there is no way for me to put the file onto the internal sd memory because windows never recognizes the phone because it never boots up.
and trust me, i learned my lesson....never downloading that program again.

There are drivers posted in the dev section, be sure to try and download them again.
Your phone's "/sdcard/" location is actually an internal SD card. So when you use CWM to mount the sdcard, it will mount both the internal, and external SD card if it can. So you should still be able to do it.
as you said i was able to mount and copy over the rom, but after i copied over the rom file, it does not show on the android cwm file menu. maybe if i restart the phone?ill try it now.
still no go the rom file is not showing, the drivers have been installed. i reinstalled them JUST in case.
maybe i'm doing something.
- i mount usb storage
- copy over rom tar files
- unmount and look for it in the apply update from sd card and install zip from sd card selections but both show no files.
alright well after a few hours of trying a million different things...the only thing that worked was eaglesblood rom via cwm mount. thanks romanb for helping.
