If you have your sd card partitioned, it allows you to move apps to the sd card. Up to you if you want to use it or not.

And if you don't have your SD card partitioned and don't want to, it should just sit there without doing anything.

So I moved my apps2SD. Then installed a ROM. How do I get it to "find" the SD apps?

So I moved my apps2SD. Then installed a ROM. How do I get it to "find" the SD apps?
I'm being told that my SD card is full. AND my internal memory is full. I have a feeling that the apps are installed in 2 different places. Is this the case? How can I tell?
I'm a mess, don't know where to start. Thanks for any help.
Later!
What method did you use to move them to your SD card?

This app called SDMove.
I've never used that before. I've always used Dark Tremor A2SD. Most of the roms support it. It requires partitioning your SD card. It will also move dalvik to SD which really frees up space. It's recommended using a class 4 card or faster.

I never partitioned my SD Card. I guess that might be a problem, and is probably why they never show up on the SD Card? I don't know.
Does partitioning the card require reformatting the SD Card?
If you installed a new rom without doing a full wipe, the rom should load all your apps if there are no conflicts. Thd SDMove app is just an easier way to move apps that can be moved to SD storage instead of going through HTC's app management in settings.
In regards to DarkTremor's A2SD, yes you would have to reformat your SD card to create an ext 2 or 3 partition. Most custom roms should state whether a2sd is available and then you just setup the partition in recovery. Make a complete backup of your SD card onto your comp that includes a nandroid backup and Titanium backup or MyBackup Pro app+data set.
In order to determine if you have multiple copies of your apk's , use a file manager and search your evo. I use "app 2 sd" on the evo using root explorer I found that apk's are kept in "mnt/asec" and "mnt/secure/asec" , which are folders on the sdcard. Since you used an application to move your apk's to the sdcard and not the OS apps2sd, you should find only one occurrence of each apk.

SD card space

When I went to copy a rom to my sdcard, it said my card was full. I figured it was because of old nandroid backups, so I deleted them, but the sd card space has actually gone down instead of freeing up space.
???
I'm baffled. Anyone know how to fix this?
What size sd card and where did you get it?
It is the one that came with my Incredible.

Is it possible to delete everything from my SD card and start new? It's saying there is 1.8gb total, but only 28mb available.
Or can I flash roms using my phone storage?

You can just format it (FAT32). Backup what you need. And maybe store stuff on the internal storage. You have to use the SD card for ROM's etc.

Where do apps go on the sd card when moved with cm7

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
.android_secure on the SD card, like normal. That is, unless you've installed the DarkTremor script.

Partitioned SD card

I had partitioned my SD card. Then I had to bring my phone to have the screen looked at. So I unrooted it, how do I remove the partition on it, I'm having nothing but issues with it.

External sd card for cm10-14

Hi there all, is there any ROM out there that supports external sd card.. Am using cm10 - 14 ; I like it very much only problem is I can't use my sd card and am already out of storage.. Thanks

I cant speak for any other ROM as i haven't used any other than AOKP but it works fine for me with my 16GB class 10. I would venture to say it also works on most of the ROM's out there...personally speaking, and i think im probably in the majority here, no external SD would be a deal breaker.
EDIT: According to some (very) quick research its possible it may simply be that your SD card is in a format not readable by CM. Try formatting the SD to FAT32 and see if it works.
Oah thanks.. I will try doing it Nd will surely let you guys know

Move what to the sd exaclty? Also what size card do you have, i've seen somewhere there are detection issues with the larger capacity cards.

So, the external is working now? And you are trying to move something to it? Sorry but you are not elaborating much on what is going on.
Yeah... I wanna moved and save the apps in external sd card.... No, the sd card is not working. How do you save your apps in your sd card when you download something from app store Or like if you want moved it to sd card which is already in internal memory

Well there are several option to move apps to sd. Of course this isn't going to work until you figure out why your sd card isn't being recognized. There is a possibility there could be a problem with your external slot...have you tried any other sd cards?
Are you able to able to save your apps on external sd card...

Now that you mention it i can't..although i really wouldn't want to. Every time i've done it in the past it has causes problems. I'm not sure if this is isolated to AOSP based roms or if it's got to do with the way the external sd is accessed.
i just installed cm10 on my galaxy r and was wondering with the same doubt.
while opening randomly the folders in the root, i found that /emmc is the location of external sd card.. :victory:
