Ok, so I finally upgraded to Android 2.2 and moved all my applications (except a few that don't work like that) over to my SD Card thanks to the hack.
Yet I still only have 43MB/147MB...Whats the deal?
Go into Manage Applications and delete data and cache of your apps. The Dolphin browser had something like 50mb of user data for me. Stopped using it now

its because you using legacy apps2sd as apposed to apps2sd+, legacy apps2sd only stores the .apk on the sd card, where as apps2sd+ moves alot more of the program data and cache' to the sd card

Well, eventually we won't need Mod Install or apps2sd+ to do it right, developers will make there apps do it auto? no...
Seems like I have enough space right now, much more then I did before hand, with 2.1. So should be fine. I just found it weird.
*and no way to add apps2sd+ to this ROM?

if your rooted you just need an apps2sd update.zip and flash it from recovery, becareful tho most of the ones ive seen on google are for eclair and wont work with froyo, maybe post a thread in the android development section asking someone to make you one, it wont take a skilled person long

I am rooted (via UnRevoked), and have even got a nice class 6 card already partitioned and waiting.
Surely if it wouldn't take a skilled person long to do it someone would have done it by now? I've seen a few requests in these forums since Froyo was released asking how to install apps2sd, and yet they all either get ignored or pointed towards a custom rom. It's almost as if the people who know how to do it want to keep the secret to themselves!
I deleted angry birds main files I guess from my SD card to clear memory so it stopped working. So I used titanium backup to uninstall and I tried to re install it and it said application can't install so then I used root explorer and deleted everything that had angry and bird in it and still can't get it to install again. That's my favorite game.
Can someone please help me.

Umm just download it from the market, it still free lol
does this really belong in the android dev forum?
gl fixing your issue
why is this here and not in Q&a
Reboot your phone and try the installation after that.
Also, this is should be in the Q&A section or maybe the apps/themes section.
I did put in q&a a week ago and no one helped.
And I've been tryin to install it from the market and downloading the apk. I've done restated my phone bout 15 times in.a week. I can install everything else but angry birds encore and androzip. These was the only 3files I deleted and every since then I haven't been able to install these only 3

Seriously though have you tried doing a factory reset or if your rooted do a wipe and re flash?

It probably just didn't uninstall correctly and is still there. Your probably going to have to run a command in ADB but not sure what you would run, I'd assume it be something like you have to do to install the Google apps. And if that doesn't work just wipe.
I haven't tried the ADB part. But I am rooted I have wiped everything, switched between Ava, Fresh and CM6 still no go. I used the search using root explorer but its sayin its not finding anything anymore. Its only the 3 apps that I called myself cleaning. I have no problem with any other app.. I really have tried everything but the ADB because Im not that good with it and I wouldn't kno the first place to search.
I'm bored and dying without my angry birds. Lol.

make sure that Titanium Backup completely deleted the APP, i had to delete it then restart the phone then delete it again and restart a second time for it to completely delete the APP from the phone and allow me to install it
Thread moved to Q&A.
if you use titanium back up do you have a back up of angry birds if so and you cant get it anyother way you have tried restoring the back up? that may be what youa re doing now but figured thats about all i could add at this point
Try unmounting your SD card then install.
Just a shot in the dark here but have you wiped your ext partition?

I forgot where I saw it but there's a file in the .androidsecure folder in ur sd card u have to delete. After I did that it downloaded fine. Mount ur fone as a hard drive, go into the folder and the file should be the last one and starts with "sm". Delete it then try it again. Also, if ur having issues with an app stuck on downloading, log into gtalk. Hope this helps

I didn't wipe my ext partition because I never set the partition up and I was nervous it was goin to erase my SD card.
I looked for the androidsecure but when I went into it there was nothin in it to delete.
How is this even possible to not be able to install only 3 apps?

Finally figured out my problem 1 minute ago. I couldn't live without angry birds. Lol.
But it seems I wasn't the only one having this problem so with a lil herb I sat down and Googled my tail off and I found out there was a file called smdl2tmp1.asec in the android.security folder I had to delete. And after that I was able to install my apps again. Don't kno exactly wat that file is but it worked for me. And I've been lookin for the answer for weeks. Now problem solved.

try to unmount your sd card, and reinstall, it worked for my milestone.. good luck..

unmounting sd card worked for me.
Hey.
i have an htc desire and yesterday put cm7 on it. (7.0.3) but if i reboot my phone all my installed apps are gone.. Only the standard apps (stock) are still availible..
HOW CAN I FIX THIS? Cause this really sucks..

Did you backup your apps before you flashed the rom?
Sent from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
Yeah, Was running on RCMIXHD first but i just wanted an clean install so i saved all the .apks in an folder..
next i wiped everything and flashed the rom.. And then this happened..
edit: But the strange thing: When i install the apks it says already installed, and all settings are good (tweetdeck) so i dont have to login and stuff.. same for whatsapp, tapatalk.. and more.
Anybody knows the answer?
Am I missing something here? In the OP you say you lost all your apps but in your second post you say "...when I install the apks..." so you must still have the apps. Once you wipe your phone then flash a new ROM you have to re-install all your .apks anyway...unless I'm missing the point.
well i have an map on my SD with all my apk's... and i can install them. When installed its no problem. After reboot, all apps that i installed are gone..
Are you using a third party launcher? If so try swapping back to stock and see if that helps. If not swap back again to the third party launcher and see if they've hey prestoed back.
Also, try backing up using Titanium Backup. Makes life easier after installing new ROM. Then I'd try a full wipe and reflash your new ROM.
Your SD card is obviously mounted if you can access the .apk's so I'd try the steps above first.
Well it worked Awesome! Thanks!
Using TB.
For the life of me it won't work. I've read some posts here and there where people are reporting mixed results. Is there a method to this? Is this one of the kinks that needs to be worked out? Will I have to install all apps from scratch and lose my progress on Angry Birds?
Apps that install to the as card will fail, the rest will work fine

There's a few apps that won't restore at all (with leak FC07 and CM9 alpha at least from my experience). But a good majority can be, and for me, Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio restored just fine with data.
Try my post on restoring apps from TB in this section, not sure if it helps with the ROM you are on....worked for me going from el29 to fc07.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
When I try to restore apps, I get a progress bar in TB, but it's super slow. Eventually it says it finished but none of the apps have been restored. Ive tried just the app first without data and that doesn't work either.
I'll look for your TB thread Dante.
With CM9 I never had 100% success (I imagine it was something to do with mounting to /emmc), with the Samsung based ICS leaks unmounting external_sd has worked flawlessly every time.

No, just in ICS. Settings, Storage, Unmount (external) sd card, then load up TiBu.
Last time I burned through logcat there was a temp file the install process was trying to create but was unable to, causing it to fail. Details here. Not sure why it's failing as those files don't exist for me, maybe formatting the sdcard within ICS would fix it, I'm not sure.

Whats been working for me is RE-downloading all the apps from the market and the using TB to restore data. I don't mind having to download the apps all over again (although it is a PITA) as long as I have the data.

I was able to save and restore my progress in Angry birds and I was on GB 2.3.6 and I am on BLEND ICS ROM now.
I've never had luck with TB or with any app to restore missing data/apps. The only reliable method I've discovered is booting into recovery, going to advanced backup restore and nandroid just your data. Even worked restoring data from an el29 build to ics. Hope this helps someone!

I quess just for safety reasons, why am I renaming this file? Would I ever need to put it back? What does that file do? etc?
What do I do when I want to add crossix memory swap mod? It requires the use of a modified version of that file.
Do I just change the name of the file prior to flashing things through CWM?
What happens to the tablet if I am running the memory swap, and then disable the file like that so I can load a different rom? If I have like 10 GB of apps on the card at the time, it can't exactly dirty swap the memory back to the internal?
probably shoulda asked before I started, but hey better late then never right. At least I ain't bricked it yet
Any and all help is a appreciated.

what that file essentially did was revert the recovery to stock. and it was a script used by crossix for his sdcard swap mod i believe.
ive never had any issue with that script but ive never used the sdcard swap mod so thats probably why. so long as your bootloader is unlocked....even if your recovery gets overwritten just flash it again in fastboot. but if youve never used that mod id say your safe man.

Thanks man,
So basically the worst that can happen is that I accidentally overwrite CWM, and have to go back in and re-install it per your post.

you got it boss. what people have been messing up is relocking their bootloaders and panicking and somehow screwing their recovery image and all sorts of amazing jazz lol.
if cwm gets overwritten u know its that file...delete it. boot into fastboot and flash cwm again...easy peasy.
the biggest thing to remember is Keep your bootloader unlocked! the only way to lock it is to reflash a stock rom that "updates" the bootloader. which is why i told everyone from day one of the unlock DONT REFLASH STOCK...unless u know what your doing!

Seem simple enough, once you go custom stay there. No beer in the fridge tonight so I'll probably even remember that one.
Anyways, got it installed and running backups now. I just want to tryout flexreaper, and CM9. See what I like, and see if either fixes the crappy stack GPS lock performance. Once I pick I'll stay there for a long time. I suspect after I pick a rom that works for me I'll load up crossix mod for the extra space, I can really use it.
Thanks again for the help man.
Crap!
Ran into an issue. It errored out while backing up my data. I was able to just power down, and back up. When it came backup I noticed I had zero free space left internally so I know what the error was. I just can't for the life of me figure out how to change the backup location to the external card.

currently its a bug with ics and cwm..it cant backup properly to the external...and the other problem is it backs up your entire internal....so basically if you have 4gigs taken up...its gonna exceed the 8gig.
sorry i didnt mention this as its not a huge bug for me as i dont have barely any data on the internal.
best bet is to delete that massive backup...and move some stuff (music,movies etc) over to your external. and re run the nandroid.
not a big issue but obviously a pita...
i would recommend cm9 personally...it will eventually be updated very frequently...were waiting on acer source to be released. also ive had better gps performance on cm9.

So, let me think out loud here. The smart way to do this would be
1. Use Titanium backup to back up all of my apps, and data to the external SD
2. Delete apps, and data until I have enough room left on the internal SD.
3. Move everything off of the external SD onto my computer
4. Full nandroid backup onto internal SD using CWM.
5. Back that up onto the computer
6. Flush everything using CWM
7. Flash CM9 or flexreaper and see what I like
8. Do crossix mememory swap mod
9. Restore apps and data from Titanium Backups, or just reload from app store
10. Relax
Does that seem safe, and in the correct order?
