anyone using rom toolbox here?can you confirm with me that does the app2sd function works?to test it,
-tick set on boot and tick install to sd card.
try to install plume for twitter or any other apps, see if those apps installed to sd card by default,because I am running ARHD 9.0 here and this function does not seems to work.
I used to use ROM Toolbox, but just never saw the use for many of it's functions. At that point I already had ROM Manager, and Titanium Backup was cheaper so I got that instead. I'm not sure whether it's supposed to install to SD by default, or just installs the app in a way that is easier to move to SD (but gotta move it manually?).

Dear all, I have been here for quite a while and I know how to root, flash new ROM etc. However I still don't know if it is possible to restore the installed program on a new ROM. I have been searching this forum the topic about this but I still don't find a good solution. What I actually want to do is:
Assuming I am using Defrost 1.0
1) Full wipe and upgrade to a new ROM (For example, Defrost 1.6)
2) Restore the installed programs and data in a batch (automatic mode) I used in Defrost 1.0 to the 1.6 new ROM
So that I can use a new ROM while still keep all the data and programs.
I know "Titanium Backup" can restore programs however I never got it done.I used TB to backup all the things in Defrost 1.0. After upgrading to 1.6 I reinstalled TB, use batch backup, but the list showed all the backed-up programs are in grey color - I simply can not restored them.
Am I missing anything here?
Many thanks for your tips/advice/help!!!
Try MyBackup Pro, I've never had any problems restoring.
Also, if you moved all your apps to SD (FroYo A2SD), I don't think Titanium will be able to restore them.

Yes I did use APP2SD. So it means Titanium doesn't help at all for APP2SD programs on SD card...... I am trying MyBackup now. Thanks!!!
You have to make sure that all the apps you want to back up are stored on the phone memory. Good luck!

So is there anyway to restore apps that installed on SD card through APP2SD+? Do you mean that I have to move all programs to internal memory before backup?
If you're using the old style A2SD+ (with ext partition), your apps will be backed up. If you're using the FroYo A2SD, they won't.
Thanks! I used titanium backup donated version and it works for backing up app2sd+ apps!
How do i save my apps to my sd card? i want to save my whole app to my sd card don't care about installing it to sd, just want that the apps i download from market place be saved on sd card for later installing myself either off-line or if i reset phone and don't want to go back to market place and try to find them. The market place doesn't memorize your free apps in the downloads if you install one of them then navigate away then come back to see which one you have missed to download previously it wont show up again.
Ive searched here and on Internet and only thing keeps coming up is installing apps to sd card and why it cant be done. But im not looking for that. Just looking to save it to sd then at later date installing it to memory of phone. just care for saving the apk file not installing it to sd.
I use Titanium back up to save all the apps and some of the system data. When you load a new ROM just do a restore and viola all your apps are back. It does require root access

anything that doesn't require root? or that intercepts the market place download and saves the app to the sd card then installs it to phone so the app can be installed later if you do reset.

You can use a file manger i.e. astro or estrongs to backup apps. It can back up your free apps just fine. The only problem is when you install them from the SD card I don't believe they are attached to the market. That means the app won't update.
Your paid apps are attached to your gmail account so you can reset and they will still be there

so using astro where should i look for the market place downloaded apps?
Is there an app that can install multiple apps on your sd card instead of having to go through and install them one by one?
Try "App 2 SD"; works fine for me.
I'm not sure if this is what you mean but titanium backup has a batch install for backed up apps. It installs them all in one click and even redoes market links =)

Im on cyanogen 6.1
I want to have ext2,3..
can that be done by selecting Partition SD Card on "Rom Manager" ?
or do i have to do it the whole comand prompt way?
also, do the apps get deleted after doing ext2/3?
if so, whats a good app to re-install all apps on one click? i dont want to have to click install 1 by 1

Using ROM manager should work to partition your sd card, but I'm not sure about the whole apps getting deleted thing, but I would make a backup of your apps just in case. I use titanium backup, excellent program, restores app data and market links with the app. I use it for user apps between roms and system data when I'm flashing new nightlies all the time. Highly recommend it. It also syncs to dropbox if you have an account with them, which is pretty nice.

Well I've never used Rom Manager to create my ext but I don't think it allows you to select ext2/3. I just used a program on my computer to create it. As far as the apps - yes, they will be deleted if they're on your sdcard, your entire card will be formatted so back it up before you do anything then just transfer it back onto the card once you're done.
Is there a way to download apps and store them in sd card? Avoiding backup and re-download all the apps everytime I flash a new ROM?
You could try to copy them to your sd card from data/app with a file explorer app. I'm not sure though if this works on an unrooted phone.
My phone is rooted. I need to store locally due to the fact that I like flashing often.

Use Titanium Backup from Market. Requiers Root. (you have, yeah. )
There you can backup all installed Apps within your settings.
And there are options to make a batch, so that you can backup and restore all apps at one time.

fyi, even if you store your apps in sd card, when you flash another rom with full wipe, you need to download your apps back (still , even the apps is there in your sdcard).
My suggestion is , download Titanium Backup, and make backup every apps installed, because you can easily restore back your apps ( with data saved - this is important especially if you play angrybirds .. lol ) even if your apps install in the system or sd card. No need to redownload back.

What a meant is that you can copy your downloaded and installed apk files from this folder to the sdcard and install them again once you flash.
or you can use MyBackup root to backup your APP and Setting, when you reinstall the OS , you can use it restore your APP and Setting too.
