hi everyone
finally thinking about rooting i have a htc desire 2.2 but internal memory is becoming a problem
but i need to know the benefits?
will i able to remove some stock apps?so that internal memory is freeed up?
will apps2d able to move all apps to sd card?
what else will i able to do?
can i install a stock froyo rom without sense for my desire?im sure that would free up some space?
Yes, yes, yes and yes If you want all of the above, you can get it by rooting.

thanks alot
how much memory free do you have on your desire?
does apps2sd move the entire application to sdcard or just the data?
This should not be in the Development forum, should've gone in Q&A
I have 100 mbs left after installing about 20 apps and a couple of games. Apps2sd will still use a bit of internal memory, but most of it goes to the sd.
EDIT: This is with ~30mb taken up from adobe flash and air on internal.

so it wont work even if i root my stock rom?i'l have to load a rom?
one thing im wondering
how come you guys are getting 140mb +- free with apps installed?
where did the space come from?
If you root your stock ROM then yes you can then use adb to remove system apps. The issue is they're not part of the internal storage but on a seperate system partition. This means removing them won't add space to downloaded apps
If you want to install hundreds of pointless, needless apps** then you're going to need a custom ROM which uses A2SD+ - LeeDroid is one example but I personally prefer either an MCR ROM from MoDaCo or the Desire HD port (RCMixHD). Both also extremely good ROMs
** This is my personal opinion, I don't use my Desire as a replacement for every other device I own so have no need to use excessive ammounts of apps

Tks
I don't have alot of apps
Maybe 20
Problem is copilot, flash, air, google maps etc
They take up alot of space, I'm not trying all apps
S-OFF then remove using root explorer
I have 69MB free with the following updates/apps installed:
1. Facebook (Update)
2. Twitter
3. Angry Birds (on SD Card)
4. Adobe Flash (Update)
5. Google Maps (Update)
6. Gmail (Update)
7. eBay
8. XDA App
9. Street View (Update)
10. App Manager
11. Dolphin HD Browser (on SD Card)
12. YouTube (Update)
13. EStrongs File Explorer (on SD Card)
So, for me, I don't NEED to root. I still do to try a new ROM if it's something that appeals but I love Sense - stock Android is so fugly
Hi,
If you're using Android (Froyo) you can I believe move, some, of the apps an data to the SD card using your existing ROM.
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications.
Look at the downloaded apps and highlight one, it may or may not give you the option to move to SD card. The ability to move to SD is dependent on the Application developer in question. Hence, this doesn't work for all applications and data.
There are also some Market Apps that can scan the list for you, I tried "App 2 SD" by Sam Lu which seemed to work for me.
Regards.
Colin

I'm guessing for removing system apps...if you don't know what it is then don't even think about it at this stage

thats it
most of them are on the sdcard according to sd move and i've checked
some cannot be moved
i've already done the adb thing to set my default location to sd card
so most new apps go to sd
all apps with widgets are on the internal memory
i cant understand why i have so little memory left?
Because you don't have a lot of space in the first place. If you want more then you have no option other than to go with a custom ROM which uses A2SD+
I have a question. How i can install change the install app storage to sdcard - this is in cyanogenmod rom in cyanogenmod options. I have another Froyo rom
I believe there is a market for that called app2sd, not certain though. Just sounds familiar.

Have you tried 'Settings-CyanogenMod Settings-Application Settings-Install Location' and select 'External' from the options available. Haven't tried this but it is meant to install apps to the sd card by default i believe.
I have another rom no cyanogen . In my PDA cyanogen work bad, . Have restarts and another problems
Hello,
just installed CM7-2.3.3, I saw that all downloaded apps are installed on internal memory witch is quite small.
Is this a normal behavior for the Wildfire? Is there a way to get around it using settings (I didn't find any).
I heard of apps like App2SD, is this the only way right now?

under cyanogenmod settings you should follow this way:application > allow application moving (ticked) and you should choose where to install too there by ticking external.(after this you can transfer your apps yourself under the menu of application management or you can use s2e to transfer them to sd-ext...it is a script that does it for you.

Are u sure, that u are using ur sdcard for installing ur apps? Maybe it tries to install it on the internal memory space because its the default setting. Try this: Go to settings ->applications -> installation settings now set memory card as default installation location

Which sytem do u run? Android alpha or Bada? On bada it is the last point in applications. If u run android perhaps ur partition is to large. It shouldn't be larger than 1,5 Gb
Hi
I know this has been asked before and a lot of people on here are Rooted . But to save me downloading and installing every App in the Play store I have Tried at least six
My question is:
Is there any App that can move Apps to SD card on the LG pad Un rooted that actually work ?

Probably not. In order to use your SD card for apps, you have to apply a dirty hack Samsung came up with to access the sdcard. They/we change the permissions by pointing "media" to the scdard permissions because media is allowed to have access for it's use. I believe that apps2sd doesn't require you to change the setting manually, but it will need access to root as well
The problem here is that in order to access the settings to change this, you need root!
Thanks for the quick answer which is what I thought may be look at rooting
