Ok from what i have read might have been a bit easier doing a backup before you swapped out . Your apps you should be able to get working by reinstalling them by using a file explorer like Astro - Just because the APK file is on your card does not mean it will automatically go onto your phone - you may well lose some of your previous data doing this depending what was stored on the card before. basicly your apps that were on the card are still there but they arent installed on the new desire so there's nothing showing in the app folder - reinstalling them again tells the phone that they are there.
thanks, but how do I know which apps I had I can not remember all.
What about my web page bookmarks?

Bookmarks i have no idea if these even would have been installed on your sdcard..
plug your phone into your pc set the phone to disk drive mode and take a look.. in windows click start>search select the drive letter for your phone card search for all files or folders and in the search box put "*.apk" without the "" this will search for all the apk files you had on your sd card.

hey guys
I had a bunch of pics that I received via MMS and I needed to use, so I just long click on it and selected to save do sd card. But when I connect the phone to the pc on mass storage mode, I can't find them anywhere.
So I installed the app SaveMMS and saved all the pics to a folder with the same name. Still nothing showed up when I connect the phone to my PC.
Using ASTRO, I can see all the pictures on the download folder and I can also access the SaveMMS folder (and actually some other folders that I cant see from my PC).
I tried to copy to somewhere else and even that didnt work.
I ended up emailing myself the pics...
Any idea on whats happening?
I got root and im using opendesire with a partitioned sd card (and no, there's no pictures on the ext partition).
many thanks
Does any file names or folders on your phone look like, for example, this ".hello"
If so, get rid of the full stop at the start of the name via Astro, as it will not show up on your computer
Thread moved to Q&A.
delete my post
thanks for the reply
the first thing I checked was for hidden folders, and it wasnt that.
the folders ended up showing up on the desktop as well, out of nowhere.
but it just seemed some random, dont know what was the issue.
This is usually because you are using a2sd which makes the SD card do strange things. Changes are only actually saved to the card for the computer to see when restarting the phone
The problem is well documented, and a fix have been made which should fix it
Well, its really weird.
But better weird with A2SD than normal without it ;p
Hi all,
I am trying to get android to work on my old Tilt2 for my fiance so we can play games together. I've gone through all the steps by adding the correct files to the root of the storage card and running Haret. Every thing seems to work "fine" other than the fact that I can't see a storage card while in Android. I tried to partition my SD card to see if that would help but I am unable to determine the proper way to do that. Any help would be appreciated
Do you have some type of file manager installed on Android? I know that I could always see it, with the exception of the Android folder on my card.

I've said this 100x, not sure why it never shows up on people's searches...
But backup all the data on the card. Format the card (full format, FAT32) using the HP Tool. Restore all the data on the card after the format, or start over fresh doesn't really matter. Apps should now be able to see the card, etc.
I'm not concerned about apps seeing the storage card. I don't have a "My Files" app that will let me navigate the card. Do I need to download a file manager in order for it to work?
I fixed it.. I had to download a file management app I feel dumb now.
Which App?

Astro is pretty good, and is included in AndroidApps folder IIRC.

Amusingly, I use multiple file storage apps. Super Manager for making system files r/w, and file expert for the look and feel. I have astro too, on my other phone, but only really use it for enabling all file type downloads from the web.

my phone reads my card as two different cards. i had to move all the files from tunnybrowser over to the other card before the saved bookmarks could be found.
That's exactly what i found out after i was like .. hmm let me plug in the phone real quick.. Lol, Since the software isn't optimized to work like this, it will read the primary Sdcard.. which is basically the Internalone(non remobeable sdcard) instead of the one you have inserted, so if they update the software, they have to have an option as of where it should be saved, either "mnt/sdcard" (Internal)
or "mnt/sdcard/external_d/ " (External*)..
I feel sad that it is like this, and you can't choose which one is the one you want the phone and apps to read first , but other than that, after moving files and folders here and there, this phone is the ****!
Hi there.
I've used two RUU in the last year on my DHD. After a phone restart, I go straight to the Marketplace to redownload the apps I had before using the RUU.
Some of the apps don't automatically download, and I can't remember them all so there's probably some old applications and associated data on there.
The SD card is getting full so I was wondering if there was an app out there I could use to remove all app data except that of apps which are currently installed.
I'm running a stock DHD on the latest 2.3.5 ROM with Sense 3.0.
Thanks for your help!
Easiest way I find personally...
Back up your contact list, photos, music, ring tones and the settings files on the main programs you can remember - Even better, use the HTC program
Format the card.
Plug it into the phone and let it load it's file system and then make a back up of that on your PC for future use. Just remember to back up your new contacts, photos etc...
Go to recovery or 4ext / CWM and delete Dalvik
EDIT: Later you can delete them one by one those which you don't use
I think SD maid can do that... I've heard it works pretty good.

On SD card there is directory called \Android\. There are apps data.

Best and safest way.
I got a question about filesystem on SD card.
If you format it ext4 - how is it speed-wise? Actually what are main advantages?
And can windows7 then normally recognize "disk drive"?
Does anyone know how to change the default Download folder from internal storage to SD card?
(when you download something from any internet browser)
I remember doing it on my old M8 but I can't remember how I did it.
I think on other Android phones in in Settings, then Storage, but it's not there on the M9 so not sure if I'm looking in the right place.

I have no idea, let us know if you got it working.
I am having a problem where none of my apps can be moved to SD card and nothing can be saved there unless I place it there using a root browser. I have it mounted, but I am still almost running out of space.

Has anyone solved this? I need to fix it.
This
chrome://flags/#enable-downloads-location-change
Enable it.
Restart browser.
Then in the overflow on the top right of chrome go to settings/downloads and change the first option to external sdcard.
Be careful what you mess with in chrome://flags as you can make your phone unstable and unsecure.
