I currently have a R3 Rom with A2SD on it. The only i rooted was that i can install A2SD on it to have apps on the SD.
But since froyo will allow for apps on the SD, is it better for me to install the original froyo rom rather than an aftermarket?
The stock froyo roms idea of a2sd is crap!
It only allows you to put certain apps on SD, and then only after the app developer has made it possible in their app.
You can flash a custom froyo with the old a2sd. A good combination in my opinion!

You do realize that's how it's supposed to work, right? I've had no issues with it, and neither should anyone else who has at least 2MB free on their device.
So how does it work, does it work with every app?

No, only those that have the option enabled by the dev. Just go to Applications > Manage Applications. Then, if you tap on one, you'll see a Move to SD button. If it's not greyed out, and the app isn't/doesn't include a widget, you can move it. If not, no. You can probably move most apps you find under Downloads there.
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

that rom dosent have apps2sd+ i suggest if you want more disk space, you try a rom with apps2sd+, like leedroid or nextsence but remember it wont work if you dont create an ext partition on your 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?

How does one go about installing Apps2SD+ manually, without resorting to flashing a custom rom (as there are some members here who, like myself, prefer stock roms)?

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!
Hi my wife has a desire and I have done my best to clear data and move apps to SD but she now only has 4mb left. Dose this mean its time to root. The only bit I am interested in is having the same software she has now but being able to move all apps like maps and Facebook to SD. Can I do this and save all the data and stuff set up like contact etc on her phone. What is the best and most reliable guide to use and is it easy for a first timer to do?

You can install a custom Sense ROM which will give you the same software. Look in the development section for Gingerbread 2.3 stock ROMs. Rooting is as easy as it gets on a Desire. All you need is UnrEVOked, Google it and it's a one click job.

If I root can I then move all apps to SD? To do this do I have to install a custom Rom.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Well, there are a lot of answers to that simple question. You can use Clockwork Recovery which is installed when you root (access it by turning the phone off and holding volume down and the power button, then using the volume rocker and volume keys to select Recovery) find create EXT partition on the SD card 1 gig will be fine, and get a ROM with data to SD, which will dump all apps to the SD card. You can even dump the whole System onto your SD card giving you ~ 900mbs internal memory.
So I have to root then install a custom Rom to make more space and move all apps. Can you recommend a good reliable Rom and if poss a good guide.

Download UnrEVOked follow it though, and you'll have root, I'll have a look and see if I can find a suitable ROM for your needs.
ROMs are very subjective, don't let people tell you this one is better than that one, it's all a matter of opinion. I am just anticipating people posting to tell you try this and that and the other.
Post back when you are done and I'll show you what I've found.
Sorry for the silly question, do download to my pc or phone?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Download to your PC. You'll need to connect your phone via USB to run it.
MIUI is pretty good
I quite like Redux too , fantastic battery life with that one !
Right, have a look at InsertCoin Sense 2.1.1.1.0 A2SD.
it's a direct link to the download, download it and connect your phone, transfer the .ZIP file over to your SD card.
Once you're done you'll need to power off the phone, hold volume down and the power button, let Fastboot load, using the volume rocker select Recovery with the power button.
The most important thing you can see here is 'Nandroid' or 'backup and restore' as it's now called. Click it and backup your ROM, It will save the entire phone as it is, texts, apps, calls everything. So if anything goes wrong you can just simply go into Recovery and 'Restore' and bobs your uncle it'll all be back to normal again.
After doing that, using the trackball select 'Advanced' at the bottom of the Recovery Menu, then 'Partition SD Card', they say 512mbs is fine, but if you've got the space go for a 1 gig partition with zero swap file if your prompted for one, I don't think Recovery asks you for one. All your system apps and future downloaded apps will be stored here.
Then go to 'Wipe data/factory reset' on the main Recovery page, it'll wipe your phone back to stock, then clear the cache which is the option underneath. After this is done go to 'Install zip from SD card' give it a few mins and it'll install and you'll be back at the Recovery main screen, click 'Reboot system now'.
First boot can take, they say, up to ten minutes (it never does) so give your phone a few minutes to boot up and get settled. Then voila, you've got apps that will auto install to the EXT3/4 partion created on the SD card and you'll have a shed load more internal space.
Thanks, ill give it a go in the next few days and let you know how I get on.

One last question, I understand the back up In case things go wrong but if I just install the Rom and all is good I take it I will lose for example, texts and contacts etc. I'll have to set up my phone like I just got it out of the box.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
It may sound a bit daunting but root is really as simple as one click. Recovery is easy to 'master' and ROM flashing is a breeze. You'll wonder why you didn't look into beforehand when you're all up and running.
There are some really nice apps for rooted users as well, Set CPU to overclock, Root Explorer is the best file explorer, LCD Density will change your resolution Titanium backup for backing up apps if you ever need to reset the ROM. Look into them all, most I would say are essential.
Do let us know how to get on.

You will yes, you can save contacts to SIM of course but you will loose everything else, all game saves, settings and the like. This is where Titanium backup comes in handy it will save all apps and their save states making changing ROM or hard resetting much less painless.
It's a pain loosing everything to start with, I know I've done it a few times, but Titanium is a mans best friend and there are loads of apps that will save SMS, I don't know if they actually require root to run though, that would be ironic, lol.

Was your sd card partitioned before? If so then please read the ROM post carefully.
May be formatting ur sd card and retry might help.

Why do you need link2sd ?
apps2sd is already there in the ROM.
If you want to move apps to sd-ext then use A2SDGUI app instead of link2sd.
Link2sd must be causing all FC's.Uninstall it right away.

I used to use link2sd and I loved it - easy to use and do its job good.
I tried to use A2SDGUI (it was in other rom) but probably I don't know how to use it or I use it wrong. I'm downloading it right now and I'll try to do something with it. You're right, I want to move some apps to sd-ext.
Quick question: there is enabled "Apps are on SD!" but they're not, how to move them in this app? Example: youtube, quickoffice, gmail and others - I don't think they are on SD and there are no possibility to move them there.

Look link2sd is a nice app,no problem with that.Its only good when you havent flashed any a2sd script or your ROM doesnt have it.
In this case ROM already has an a2sd script,link2sd creates its own scripts which are conflicting with the one in the ROM.
first open a2sdgui app,hit zip align on boot option,if you want more space you can go to dakvik cache tab at the up,you can hit move and rebuild dalvik cache to sd-ext,this way you'll have 50-60 mb more space.
And yes,this app will move apps which should be to the sd-ext.
You were right. After unistall link2sd force closed stopped appears! Thanks for help
About that a2sdgui.. I did like you said and I hope it will work. Any app from this Rom did not move to SD, but maybe next apps will
Thanks a lot!

System apps wont get moved to SD-EXT.
What about Root unistaller or Quickpic? They also didn't move to SD I'm not saying they must, but I would like to know how it works
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app
If you are looking at app info and if there is an option available saying 'Move to SD',that doesnt mean that app is on internal memory.'SD' and 'SD-EXT' are two different things or partitions.
You are right. What I was thinking about I'm so embarested well, so everything is great! No force close, fast, smooth Rom, everything I dreamed about. Thank You very much for help!!

Hey,
I am using the stock HTC ROM for now. It is unlocked via HTCdev and rooted. I need more storage space on my phone. Going through the forums I see that I can use Link2SD and/or App2SD.
What are the differences between these... and which one is preferable? I don't have a card reader, will that be a problem?

Link2sd has a GUI it means its an app and it is easy to move apps and do many other things..
Link2sd is prefered when you have class 6 or less card. Data2sd is prefered when you have a fast card.
Well you can make a partition without card reader but just hope it doesnt give errors.
I personally partitioned my SD Card using CWM-recovery. I use S2E. You can try that out too, although the ones suggested above will also do the job well.

Install Titanium Backup - the pro version is well worth the money - and choose 'More' from the menu then ''Integrate sys Dalvik Cache into ROM' also choose 'Clean up the Dalvik Cache'. This could increase available memory by quite a bit.
On Link2SD on the menu choose 'More' and then 'Link dalvik-cache files' - this will free up even more.
Then do a reboot.
