Widgets dont show up after apps2sd - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I transferred all my apps to my sd card, the apps show up on the app drawer via launcher pro, but I cannot find any of the apps I moved in the widgets section.
I am running CM7. Pretty sure I formatted and partitioned my sd card loong ago.

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.

Moved apps to SD card but now they wont launch

I moved my apps to my SD card last night but now none of them will launch after a reboot. I can see all the files on the SD card fine, my music plays and everything, but the apps i moved all show default android icons and will not launch.

Huh.... Is your memory card formatted correctly? I've heard if a memory card is format into fat32 then they linux based file system wont recognize the apps. Maybe thats your problem? Hope that helps.

[Q] Application Widgets disappear when app moved to SD card

I have updated Google+ today and then moved it to SD card through Settings->Applications->Manage Applications (select Google+ and click "Move to Card"). When I wanted to re-add G+ widget to home screen it wasn't in the list.
I moved app back to the phone and restarted. Only then it reappeared in the widget list. Same thing happened with SoundHound Infinity app.
Any solutions? I would like to move big apps to SD when possible, but without loosing widgets.
that's the expected behavior.
if the app is on a SD card, then the SD card can be removed or can be mounted to an external device like a PC and be unusable byt he Android system, and that would break it's associated widget.
the solution is to move apps to SD card if you don't use their widgets and leave the ones that have widgets you use on the onboard memory.
i wish i had a better answer, sorry.
try using an app like link2sd or app2sd. you need to partition your SD card with 2 primary partitions, 1st partition can be fat32 or whatever you want as long as phone supports it, and the second can be fat32, ext2 ext3 or ext4, depending on phone support and app support. I'm using link2sd which lets me choose which apps I link to sd. this allows the app to be on SD card and use it as a widget.

[Q] GPE Apps to SD

I am using the Sinless GPE Rom for a while now and have had no problem using it. Yesterday I've bought an 64 GB Sandisk extreme SD card and it works flawless except for on thing. I can't seem to move apps to the SD card, in the app manager there is also no tab for the SD card and there is no option to move any app to the SD card. Is this because it's a GPE Rom?
Only some apps have the option to be moved. Download one of the apps2sd apps and it will list which apps can move.
With kitkat, devs need to include an option to move apps and data to SD.
I do have apps that support apps2sd on kitkat. It just does not list them in the app manager. I thought it maybe is related to the fact I use a GPE Rom. I can't move any apps to the sd not even apps that should support it. Yet I can move files to the sd and read the sd card and I even formatted it inside the phone.

Apps on SD card not showing app drawer or in the On SD Card section in Settings

Recently I had moved almost all of my third party apps to the external SD card. Now suddenly I can't see any of those apps in the app drawer. I can see the SD card is showing up in the ES File Explorer. I am using Blisspop ROM and everything was fine for the past coupel months.
Is there a fix for this? What's going on here?
